Late-Stage Rapid [F]Trifluoromethyl Radiolabeling of Terminal Alkenes at Room Temperature.

We report an efficient, metal-free method for late-stage rapid [F]trifluoromethyl radiolabeling of terminal alkenes at room temperature. Utilizing 3,3-difluoroallyl sulfonium salts as precursors, the process achieves high radiochemical yields (up to 94 ± 2%) in just 30 s, with excellent functional group tolerance. This method offers a simplified and efficient pathway to produce [F]trifluoromethylated terminal alkene compounds, enabling their application in PET imaging and expanding the chemical space for drug discovery.

Relevance of peripheral inflammation indexes in different collateral circulation for intracranial hemorrhage in acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke patients undergoing endovascular treatment.

Background: Asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (aICH) is common after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Collateral circulation could modify the association between aICH with functional outcome and we aimed to investigate the impact of systemic inflammation index on 3-month outcome under different collateral circulation.

Method: Consecutive patients undertaken EVT were enrolled and classified into non-intracranial hemorrhage (non-ICH), aICH and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) groups according to the neurological status and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) changes within 72 hours after EVT.

AI-based fingerprint index of visceral adipose tissue for the prediction of bowel damage in patients with Crohn's disease.

The fingerprint features of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) are intricately linked to bowel damage (BD) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). We aimed to develop a VAT fingerprint index (VAT-FI) using radiomics and deep learning features extracted from computed tomography (CT) images of 1,135 CD patients across six hospitals (training cohort,  = 600; testing cohort,  = 535) for predicting BD, and to compare it with a subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT)-FI. VAT-FI exhibited greater predictive accuracy than SAT-FI in both training (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.

Integrated analyses of multi-omic data derived from paired primary lung cancer and brain metastasis reveal the metabolic vulnerability as a novel therapeutic target.

Background: Lung cancer brain metastases (LC-BrMs) are frequently associated with dismal mortality rates in patients with lung cancer; however, standard of care therapies for LC-BrMs are still limited in their efficacy. A deep understanding of molecular mechanisms and tumor microenvironment of LC-BrMs will provide us with new insights into developing novel therapeutics for treating patients with LC-BrMs.

Methods: Here, we performed integrated analyses of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and single-cell RNA sequencing data which were derived from a total number of 154 patients with paired and unpaired primary lung cancer and LC-BrM, spanning four published and two newly generated patient cohorts on both bulk and single cell levels.

Cdc42 improve SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-induced cellular senescence through activating of Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway.

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection drove senescent cells and the senescence-associated phenotypes were reported playing roles in disease progression, which contributes to severe COVID-19 and related sequelae. Cdc42 is involved in the regulation of cellular senescence. This study, aimed to investigate the mechanism of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein regulating cellular senescence through Cdc42.

Pyroptosis mediated by Parkin-NLRP3 negative feedback loop contributed to Parkinson's disease induced by rotenone.

Rotenone remains an efficient pesticide used extensively in agriculture, leading to neurotoxicity and the increase of the prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous studies indicated that Parkin, a neurohomeostasis regulatory factor, and NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), a core factor driving the inflammatory response, interacted with each other, which affected neuroinflammation occurrence. However, whether rotenone accelerated PD progression via Parkin-NLRP3 loop and the specific mechanisms were still unclear.

A prospective multicenter birth cohort in China: pregnancy health atlas.

The China Prospective Multi-Center Birth Cohort Study was launched in 2022. In collaboration with medical centers in 12 cities, it aims to establish a high-quality, multidimensional cohort comprising 20,000 natural pregnancy and assisted reproductive families. As of June 26, 2024, 12,911 pregnant women have participated in this study, and 161,122 biological samples have been collected.

The work challenges faced by primary healthcare workers in Guangzhou during the COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control period of 2021-2022: a qualitative study.

Background: Primary healthcare workers in China were vital in controlling COVID-19, facing unprecedented challenges due to the pandemic's suddenness and transmissibility. This paper analyzed their work in Guangzhou, highlighting key difficulties in past epidemic control efforts.

Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with selected primary healthcare workers in Guangzhou City and audio-recorded until saturation of themes was reached.

Biologically logic-gated Trojan-horse strategy for personalized triple-negative breast cancer precise therapy by selective ferroptosis and STING pathway provoking.

Amidst the therapeutic quandaries associated with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive malignancy distinguished by its immune resistance and limited treatment avenues, the urgent need for innovative solutions is underscored. To conquer the dilemma, we present a groundbreaking approach that ingeniously employs DNA-fragments-containing exosomes (DNA-Exo) and the concept of "biological logic-gates" to achieve precise homing and controlled selective activation of ferroptosis and stimulator interferon genes (STING) pathways. Leveraging insights from our previous research, a nano-Trojan-horse, Fe@HMON@DNA-Exo, is engineered via in situ Fe synthesis within the glutathione (GSH)-responsiveness degradable hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMON) and subsequently enveloped in DNA-Exo derived from 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38)-treated 4T1 cells.

Application value of surgical navigation system based on deep learning and mixed reality for guiding puncture in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a retrospective study.

Background: This study was conducted to investigate the clinical value of a navigation system based on deep learning and mixed reality for the treatment of kidney stones with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL), and to improve its theoretical basis for the treatment of kidney stones.

Methods: The data of 136 patients with kidney stones from October 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent PNL, and were categorized into a control group (Group 1) and a surgical navigation group (Group 2) according to puncture positioning method.

A multicenter bladder cancer MRI dataset and baseline evaluation of federated learning in clinical application.

Bladder cancer (BCa), as the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system, has received significant attention in research on the clinical application of artificial intelligence algorithms. Nevertheless, it has been observed that certain investigations use data from various medical facilities to train models for BCa, which may pose a privacy risk. Given this concern, protecting patient privacy during machine learning algorithm training is a crucial aspect that requires substantial attention.

NLRP3 inhibitor combined with Yimusake improves erectile dysfunction in rats with diabetes mellitus through the attenuation of pyroptosis.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent complication associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), yet pharmacological treatments for diabetes-related erectile dysfunction (DMED) continue to be inadequate in clinical settings. Our previous studies have indicated that there is a close correlation between ED and pyroptosis, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we sought to explore the therapeutic effects of DMED through the modulation of NLRP3, aiming to elucidate its potential molecular mechanisms.
