December 2024

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Advanced Biomaterials, Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Smart Healthcare Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology, No. 1088 Xueyuan Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518055, P. R. China.

Cancer-related anemia (CRA), a complication of cancer, is considered the primary cause of high mortality for cancer patients. Safe and effective theranostics are desirable for realizing the high diagnostic accuracy of tumors and ameliorating CRA in the clinic. However, the available theranostics do not support dual-modal imaging and the amelioration of CRA at the same time.

Biomed Environ Sci

October 2024

Department of General Surgery, the 306th Hospital of PLA-Peking University Teaching Hospital, Beijing 100101, China;Department of General Surgery, the Ninth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, Beijing 100101, China.

Objective: In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome sequences of Kupffer cells exposed to simulated microgravity for 3 d and conducted biological experiments to determine how microgravity initiates apoptosis in Kupffer cells.

Methods: Rotary cell culture system was used to construct a simulated microgravity model. GO and KEGG analyses were conducted using the DAVID database.

Gut serves as the largest interface between humans and the environment, playing a crucial role in nutrient absorption and protection against harmful substances. The intestinal barrier acts as the initial defense mechanism against non-specific infections, with its integrity directly impacting the homeostasis and health of the human body. The primary factor attributed to the impairment of the intestinal barrier in previous studies has always centered on the gastrointestinal tract itself.

Article Synopsis
  • - Microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2) is crucial for neurons to develop properly, and variants in MARK2 have been linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental issues, with most being loss-of-function mutations.
  • - A study analyzed 31 individuals with MARK2 variants showing ASD along with unique facial features, finding that the loss of MARK2 disrupts early neuron development and leads to abnormal growth patterns in neural cells.
  • - Research using iPSC models and MARK2-deficient mice highlighted the link between MARK2 loss and issues in neuronal function, connecting it to the reduction of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway, while suggesting lithium as a potential treatment

Article Synopsis
  • This study looked at a special type of surgery for people who have multiple small lumps in both lungs called nodules.
  • 65 patients had a specific surgery called "uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery" that uses tiny cuts and cameras, and all surgeries went well without any needing bigger cuts.
  • Most patients had a fast recovery with a few minor complications, and the results show that this surgery could be a good option for treating these lung nodules.

Article Synopsis
  • This study introduces a new health risk prediction method called MEL-HR, which uses multilevel ensemble learning to improve the accuracy of predicting health risks from heavy metal exposure.
  • The experiments analyzed data from 490 samples, with strong predictive values (R values) for both point and interval predictions, indicating effective forecasting of health risks.
  • Key environmental factors like longitude and soil organic matter were identified as significant alongside heavy metal factors, and the new method enhanced prediction accuracy by up to 40.36% compared to previous models.
