P53 and p21WAF1/CIP1 (p21) immunostaining was performed on 92 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs), and the staining pattern correlated with the presence or absence of p53 hot spot mutations as detected by PCR-SSCP of exons 5-8 and direct sequencing. Twenty-nine of 92 lymphomas overexpressed p53, and 17 overexpressed p21. Of the p53 overexpressing lymphomas, 14 also overexpressed p21, and none of these 14 harbored a detectable hot spot mutation. However, mutations were detected in 13 (87%) of 15 p53 overexpressing, p21 negative lymphomas. One of the 63 p53-negative lymphomas harbored a detectable hot spot mutation, and it was also negative for p21. These results demonstrate that among NHLs that overexpress p53 protein, those which also show p21 overexpression do not harbor p53 hot spot mutations, and furthermore, provide evidence that the transactivating function of p53 is retained. On the other hand, p53 overexpression in NHLs that lack p21 expression is usually indicative of p53 gene mutation.

The self-assembled ferritin protein nanocage plays a pivotal role during oxidative stress, iron metabolism, and host-pathogen interaction by executing rapid iron uptake, oxidation and its safe-storage. Self-assembly creates a nanocompartment and various pores/channels for the uptake of charged substrates (Fe) and develops a concentration gradient across the protein shell. This phenomenon fuels rapid ferroxidase activity by an upsurge in the substrate concentration at the catalytic sites.

Unregulated discharge of antibiotics in waterbodies has posed significant threat to the aquatic flora and fauna in post-pandemic times. This alarming situation has ascertained the need for suitable sensors to detect persistent antibiotic residues. In this context, functional hybrid materials centralized on reticular metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)/composites have been a research hot spot for photoelectrochemical host-guest recognition events over the past two decades.

Background And Aims: Ferroptosis, a novel concept of programmed cell death proposed in 2012, in kidney disease, has garnered significant attention based on evidence of abnormal iron deposition and lipid peroxidation damage in the kidney. Our study aim to examine the trends and future research directions in the field of ferroptosis in kidney disease, so as to further explore the target or treatment strategy for clinical treatment of kidney disease.

Material And Methods: A thorough survey using the Web of Science Core Collection, focusing on literature published between 2012 and 2024 examining the interaction between kidney disease and ferroptosis was conducted.

The health burden of waterborne nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is a rising concern. While the water supply systems can serve as a potential reservoir for NTM, their abundance, diversity, and transmission pathways remain unknown. This study aimed to characterize the prevalence and regrowth of NTM in building water supply system in a hospital where many M.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a highly sensitive technology to detect target analytes. The construction of dynamic "hot-spots" represents a significant approach to enhancing detection sensitivity. Herein, a hybrid plasma platform with dynamic "hot-spots" was developed for SERS recognition based on the assembly of gold nanospheres (AuNSs) on temperature-sensitive bacterial cellulose (BC) film grafted with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM).
