RESUMEN
An increasing variety of organic reactions have been developed for the synthesis of more structurally stable and multifunctional COFs. Here, we report a class of ß-ketamine linked covalent organic frameworks that were constructed through the CeCl3-catalyzed multi-component Mannich reaction at room temperature. And the TAD-COF obtained based on this method could significantly promote the light-driven oxidative hydroxylation of arylboronic acids.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: On January 22, 2020, Macao reported its first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. By August 2021, the situation had escalated into a crisis of community transmission. In response, the government launched a recruitment campaign seeking assistance and services of healthcare workers (HCWs) from the private sector throughout Macao. These participants faced concerns about their own health and that of their families, as well as the responsibility of maintaining public health and wellness. This study aims to determine whether the ongoing epidemic has caused them physical and psychological distress. AIM: To examine the influence of COVID-19 on the sleep quality and psychological status of HCWs in private institutions in Macao during the pandemic. METHODS: Data were collected from December 2020 to January 2022. Two consecutive surveys were conducted. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were employed as investigation tools. RESULTS: In the first-stage survey, 32% of HCWs experienced a sleep disorder, compared to 28.45% in the second-stage survey. A total of 31.25% of HCWs in the first-stage survey and 28.03% in the second had varying degrees of anxiety. A total of 50.00% of HCWs in the first-stage survey and 50.63% in the second experienced varying degrees of depression. No difference in PSQI scores, SAS scores, or SDS scores were observed between the two surveys, indicating that the COVID-19 epidemic influenced the sleep quality and psychological status of HCWs. The negative influence persisted over both periods but did not increase remarkably for more than a year. However, a positive correlation was observed between the PSQI, SAS, and SDS scores (r = 0.428-0.775, P < 0.01), indicating that when one of these states deteriorated, the other two tended to deteriorate as well. CONCLUSION: The sleep quality, anxiety, and depression of HCWs in private institution in Macao were affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. While these factors did not deteriorate significantly, the negative effects persisted for a year and remained noteworthy.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate how reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulates the signal transduction of platelet activation and apoptosis, and to explore the relationship between platelet activation and apoptosis. METHODS: Platelets were directly stimulated with thrombin or pretreated with ROS inhibitor N-acetylcysteine (NAC) before being stimulated with thrombin, and then flow cytometry was used to detect the effects of thrombin and NAC on P-selectin expression, αâ ¡bß3 activation, mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization, ROS expression and platelet aggregation. RESULTS: Thrombin could induce the production of ROS in platelets in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. 0.01 U thrombin induced ROS-dependent high degree of integrin αâ ¡bß3 activation, P-selectin expression, and platelet aggregation. The platelets induced by different concentration gradients of thrombin exhibited ROS-dependent mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization and PS externalization in platelets. After induction with thrombin for 30 min, the activation of integrin αâ ¡bß3 in platelets reached its maximum level, and after 60 minutes, the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential in platelets reached its maximum level. However, the expression of P-selectin, depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential, and platelet aggregation function were all inhibited to a certain extent when the platelets were pretreated with ROS inhibitor NAC and then induced with thrombin. CONCLUSION: When platelets are induced by thrombin, ROS first regulates the activation of platelets, and then regulates the apoptosis of platelets. Both platelet activation and apoptosis depend on the production of ROS in platelets, and the signals of activation and apoptosis occur orderly. Inhibiting the ROS signal in platelets can effectively inhibit the activation and apoptosis of platelets.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are well known for their important role in the regulation of plant growth and development. Plants with deficiency in BR signaling show delayed plant development and exhibit late flowering phenotypes. However, the precise mechanisms involved in this process require investigation. In this study, we cloned homologs of BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 2 (SlBIN2), the GSK3-like protein kinase in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). We characterized growth-related processes and phenotypic changes in the transgenic lines and found that SlBIN2s transgenic lines have delayed development and slow growing phenotypes. SlBIN2s work redundantly to negatively regulate BR signaling in tomato. Furthermore, the transcription factor SlBIN2.1-INTERACTING MYB-LIKE 1 (SlBIML1) was identified as a downstream substrate of SlBIN2s that SlBIN2s interact with and phosphorylate to synergistically regulate tomato developmental processes. Specifically, SlBIN2s modulated protein stability of SlBIML1 by phosphorylating multiple amino acid residues, including the sites Thr266 and Thr280. This study reveals a branch of the BR signaling pathway that regulates the vegetative growth phase and delays floral transition in tomato without the feedback affecting BR signaling. This information enriches our understanding of the downstream transduction pathway of BR signaling and provides potential targets for adjusting tomato flowering time.
RESUMEN
Background: In many clinical situations, it is critical to exclude or identify abnormally lymph nodes (LNs). The nature of superficial abnormally LNs is closely related to the stage, treatment, and prognosis of the disease. Ultrasound (US) is an important method for examining superficial LNs due to its cheap and safe characteristics. However, it is still difficult to determine the nature of some LNs with overlapping benign and malignant features in images. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used to evaluate the microperfusion status of tissues in real time, and it can improve diagnostic accuracy to a certain extent. Therefore, in this study, we will analyze the correlation between CEUS quantitative parameters and benign and malignant superficial abnormally LNs, to evaluate the efficacy and value of CEUS in distinguishing benign and malignant superficial LNs. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 120 patients of abnormal LNs who underwent US and CEUS at the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University from December 2020 to August 2023. All 120 cases of abnormal LNs underwent US-guided coarse needle biopsy, and accurate pathological results were obtained, along with complete US and CEUS images. According to the pathological results, LNs were divided into benign and malignant groups, and the qualitative and quantitative parameters of US and CEUS between the two groups were analyzed. The cutoff value is determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the subjects, and sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are applied to evaluate the ability of the cutoff value to distinguish between the two groups. Results: There were a total of 120 LNs, including 36 in the benign group and 84 in the malignant group. The results showed that malignant LNs were usually characterized by the disappearance of lymphatic hilum, round ness index (L/T) <2, irregular morphology, and the manifestation of uneven perfusion (P<0.05). The differences in the quantitative parameters peak enhancement (PE), rise time (RT), time to peak (TTP), wash-in rate (WIR), and wash-out rate (WOR) were statistically significant (P<0.05). The result showed that RT and TTP in the malignant LNs were higher than those in the benign LNs, while the PE, WIR, and WOR were lower. A comparison of the ∆ values showed that the differences in ∆PE, ∆WIR, and ∆fall time (FT) were statistically significant (P<0.05), Among them, the ∆PE and ∆WIR of malignant LNs were higher than those of benign LNs, while the ∆FT was lower than that of benign LNs. Conclusions: Quantitative analysis of CEUS features is valuable in the diagnosis of benign and malignant LNs, and US combined with CEUS helps to improve the accuracy of identifying the nature of LNs.
RESUMEN
Background: Tumor budding (TB) has been shown to be a poor prognostic indicator after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the predictive role of morphological features (e.g., the number, structure, and location of tumor buds, and their reaction with the extracellular mesenchyme) in postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in surgically resectable stage II CRC. Methods: Between 2016 and 2019, 336 patients with stage II CRC who underwent radical surgery were enrolled in this study. TB status was determined according to the criteria adopted at the 2016 International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference (ITBCC). We retrospectively recorded all the clinical and pathological data and assessed the effect of different types of TB status on patients' recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Of the 336 patients, 173, 88, and 75 were budding grade 1 (BD1), BD2, and BD3, respectively. The 5-year RFS rates were 84.6%, 81.2%, and 68.0% (P=0.01), and the 5-year OS rates were 91.0%, 83.3%, and 76.2% (P=0.007) in BD1, BD2, and BD3, respectively. TB grade was strongly associated with vascular invasion status and mucinous adenocarcinoma, and BD3 was detected in 51.7% of patients with positive vascular invasion. The multivariate analysis showed that only age, perineural invasion, and TB grade [BD2 vs. BD1, hazard ratio (HR) =1.468, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.703-3.063, P=0.30; BD3 vs. BD1, HR =2.310, 95% CI: 1.154-4.625, P=0.01] had an independent effect on RFS. In addition, the Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that BD3 patients had the worst RFS (P=0.01). The OS of the adjuvant chemotherapy group was significantly improved compared to that of the surgery-only group in the BD1/2 patients (HR =0.278, 95% CI: 0.114-0.676, P=0.005) but not in the BD3 patients with significant interaction (Pinteraction=0.03). Conclusions: Our results indicate that TB could play a subsidiary role in selecting stage II CRC patients who could achieve a favorable prognosis with chemotherapy.
RESUMEN
The southern catfish (Silurus meridionalis) is an economically important carnivorous freshwater fish in China. In this study, we compared the properties of skin collagen from southern catfish fed with raw food (RF) and cooked food (CF). The skin collagen yield in the RF group (8.66 ± 0.11%) was significantly higher than that of the CF group (8.00 ± 0.27%). SDS-PAGE, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and FTIR analyses revealed that the collagen extracted from southern catfish skin in both groups was type I collagen, with a unique triple helix structure and high purity. The thermal denaturation temperature of collagen in the RF group (35.20 ± 0.11 °C) was significantly higher than that of the CF group (34.51 ± 0.25 °C). The DPPH free radical scavenging rates were 68.30 ± 2.41% in the RF collagen and 61.78 ± 3.91% in the CF collagen, which was higher than that found in most fish collagen. Both the RF and CF groups had high ability to form fibrils in vitro. Under the same conditions, the CF group exhibited faster fibril formation and a thicker fibril diameter (p < 0.05). In addition, the RF group exhibited significantly higher expression of col1a1 compared to the CF group. These results indicated that feeding southern catfish raw food contributed to collagen production, and the collagen from these fish may have potential in biomaterial applications.
RESUMEN
Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) is an economically important farmed fish. This experiment was conducted to study the effects of different culture salinities on the growth and muscle quality of grass carp. We found that salinity of 0 to 5 had no significant effect on the growth of grass carp, but it significantly decreased at salinities above 5. Compared to salinity 0, the protein content of serum was significantly higher at salinities of 3 and 5. However, all serum biochemical compound measured, except glucose and total protein, decreased significantly at salinity 9. Muscle textural properties of grass carp were significantly higher at salinities of 3 and 5 than at 0, 7, and 9. Salinities of 0 to 3 had no significant effect on muscle nutrition of grass carp, but this parameter tended to decrease at salinities above 7. Salinities of 3 and 5 significantly favored muscle growth and expression of collagen-related genes, whereas the opposite was true for salinities of 7 and 9. These results indicated that grass carp grew normally at salinities of 3 and 5, with some improvement in muscle quality, whereas salinities of 7 and 9 had a negative effect on growth and quality. Therefore, appropriate salinity levels can help to improve the muscle quality of grass carp without affecting their growth.
Grass carp is an important economic fish with the highest production in the world. In recent years, the issue of quality improvement of grass carp has received more attention. On the other hand, as the climate warms and the salinized area increases, the use of salt-water resources has become an important issue. This experiment was conducted to study the effects of different culture salinities on the growth and muscle quality of grass carp. The results suggested salinity of 3 and 5 could enhance the muscle quality of grass carp without affecting the growth, especially with higher collagen content, expression of collagen-related genes, and sweet amino acids in muscle compared with salinity 0. However, salinity 7 and 9 inhibited the growth of grass carp and negatively affected muscle quality. This study suggested that a slight increase in aquaculture salinity can improve the muscle quality of grass carp without affecting the growth, which provided data basis and theoretical support for the healthy aquaculture of grass carp and utilization of saline water.

Objectiveï¼ To explore the influence of environment temperature on the incidence of testicular torsion. METHODS: We collected the clinical data on 172 cases of testicular torsion diagnosed in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2013 to December 2020. According to the local environment temperature on the day of onset, we divided the patients into groups A (below 0â), B (0ï¼10â), C (10ï¼20â) and D (above 20â), and compared the incidence rates of testicular torsion among the four groups, followed by correlation analysis. RESULTS: The incidence rate of testicular torsion was 12.8% (n = 22) in group A, 35.5% (n = 61) in B, 34.9% (n = 60) in C and 16.9% (n = 29) in D, the highest at 0ï¼10â in group B, with statistically significant difference among the four groups (χ2 = 29.07, P <0.001). Spearman correlation analysis indicated that the incidence of testicular torsion was negatively correlated with the environment temperature (r = ï¼0.261, P <0.01), with no statistically significant difference among different seasons (χ2 = 5.349, P >0.05), but higher in autumn and winter than in the other two seasons. CONCLUSION: The incidence of testicular torsion is negatively correlated with the environment temperature, elevated when the temperature decreases, but has no statistically significant difference among different seasons, though relatively higher in autumn and winter.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) affect the quality of life or are fatal in the worst cases, resulting in a significant economic and social burden. Therefore, there is an urgent need to invent functional products or drugs for improving patient health and alleviating and controlling these diseases. Marine bioactive peptides reduce and control CVDs. Many of the predisposing factors triggering CVDs can be alleviated by consuming functional foods containing marine biopeptides. Therefore, improving CVD incidence through the use of effective biopeptide foods from marine sources has attracted increasing interest and attention. This review reports information on bioactive peptides derived from various marine organisms, focusing on the process of the separation, purification, and identification of biological peptides, biological characteristics, and functional food for promoting cardiovascular health. Increasing evidence shows that the bioactivity and safety of marine peptides significantly impact their storage, purification, and processing. It is feasible to develop further strategies involving functional foods to treat CVDs through effective safety testing methods. Future work should focus on producing high-quality marine peptides and applying them in the food and drug industry.
RESUMEN
Supercapacitors (SCs) are widely recognized as competitive power sources for energy storage. The hierarchical structure of nickel vanadium sulfide nanoparticles encapsulated on graphene nanosheets (NVS/G) was fabricated using a cost-effective and scalable solvothermal process. The reaction contents of the composites were explored and optimized. TEM images displayed the nickel vanadium sulfide nanoparticles (NVS NPs) with 20-30 nm average size anchored to graphene nanosheets. The interconnection of graphene nanosheets encapsulating NVS nanoparticles effectively reduces the ion diffusion path between the electrode and electrolyte, thereby enhancing electrochemical performance. The NVS/G composite demonstrated improved electrochemical performance, achieving a maximum of 1437 F g-1 specific capacitance at 1 A g-1, remarkable rate capability retaining of 1050 F g-1 at 20 A g-1, and exceptional cycle stability with 91.2% capacitance retention following 10,000 cycles. The NVS/G composite was employed as a cathode, and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used as an anode material to assemble a device. Importantly, asymmetric SCs using NVS/G//rGO achieved 74.7 W h kg-1 energy density at 0.8 kW kg-1 power density, along with outstanding stability with 88.2% capacitance retention following 10,000 cycles. These superior properties of the NVS/G electrode highlight its significant potential in energy storage applications.
RESUMEN
In the pursuit of next-generation ultrahigh-energy-density Li-O2 batteries, it is imperative to develop an electrolyte with stability against the strong oxidation environments. N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) is a recognized solvent known for its robust resistance to the highly reactive reduced oxygen species, yet its application in Li-O2 batteries has been constrained due to its poor compatibility with the Li metal anode. In this study, a rationally selected hydrofluoroether diluent, methyl nonafluorobutyl ether (M3), has been introduced into the DMA-based electrolyte to construct a localized high concentration electrolyte. The stable -CH3 and C-F bonds within the M3 structure could not only augment the fundamental properties of the electrolyte but also fortify its resilience against attacks from O2 - and 1O2. Additionally, the strong electron-withdrawing groups (-F) presented in the M3 diluent could facilitate coordination with the electron-donating groups (-CH3) in the DMA solvent. This intermolecular interaction promotes more alignments of Li+-anions with a small amount of M3 addition, leading to the construction of an anion-derived inorganic-rich SEI that enhances the stability of the Li anode. As a result, the Li-O2 batteries with the DMA/M3 electrolyte exhibit superior cycling performance at both 30 °C (359th) and -10 °C (120th).
RESUMEN
Four novel Mesona chinensis Benth polysaccharides were isolated using aqueous alcohol precipitation. Their molecular weights were determined using high-performance gel permeation chromatography: MA1 (2.3â kDa), MA2 (80.5â kDa), MA3 (180.9â kDa), and MA4 (635.2â kDa), and their compositions were analyzed using GC-MS. The polysaccharides were mainly D-glucose, D-galactose, L-Rhamnose, D-arabinose, D-xylose, and D-mannose. The structural characteristics were further analyzed using infrared spectrophotometry and were identified as a type of pyrrhic sugar. An insulin-induced insulin resistance model of HepG2 cells and oleic acid-induced fat accumulation model of insulin were established to evaluate the hypolipidemic effects. Three Bacteroides spp. [Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (BT), B. ovatus (BO), and B. cellulosilyticus (BC)] that were negatively correlated with lipid-lowering activity were used to evaluate the lipid-lowering activity of polysaccharides. The Bacteroides metabolites of MA1 and MA2 exhibited hypolipidemic effects and antioxidant activities and could potentially be used as lipid-lowering supplements.

Prospective photocatalytic ammonia synthesis process has received more attentions but quite challenging with the low visible light utilization and weak N2 molecule absorption ability around the photocatalysts. Herein, interface reconstruction of MXene-Ti3C2/CeO2 composites with high-concentration active sites through the carbon-doped process are presented firstly, and obvious transition zones with the three-phase reaction interface are formed in the as-prepared catalysts. The optimal co-doped sample demonstrates an excellent photo response in the visible light region, the strongest chemisorption activity and the most active sites. Moreover, much more in-situ extra oxygen defects are also produced under light irradiation. It is expected that the double decorated catalyst shows a remarked ammonia production rate of above 0.76 mmol gcal-1·h-1 under visible-light illumination and a higher apparent quantum efficiency of 1.08 % at 420 nm, which is one of the most completive properties for the photocatalytic N2 fixation at present.
RESUMEN
Vascular remodeling is a dynamic process involving cellular and molecular changes, including cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis or degradation, which disrupt the homeostasis of endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Cigarette smoke exposure (CSE) is thought to promote vascular remodeling, but the components are complex and the mechanisms are unclear. In this review, we overview the progression of major components of cigarette smoke (CS), such as nicotine and acrolein, involved in vascular remodeling in terms of ECs injury, VSMCs proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and ECM disruption. The aim was to elucidate the effects of different components of CS on different cells of the vascular system, to discover the relevance of their actions, and to provide new references for future studies.

BACKGROUND: Although systemic therapies are recommended for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with main portal vein (MPV) invasion and preserved liver function, the outcome is limited. In the real-world, chemoembolization is a commonly used local treatment for advanced HCC. PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the additional chemoembolization treatment yields survival benefits compared to systemic therapy for HCC patients with MPV invasion and preserved liver function (Child-Pugh score ≤ B7) in a real-world study from multiple centers. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 2020 and December 2022, 91 consecutive HCC patients with MPV invasion who received either systemic medical therapy (i.e., tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) plus anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, S group, n = 43) or in combination with chemoembolization treatment (S-T group, n = 48) from five centers were enrolled in the study. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS), and the secondary outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) and treatment response. Adverse events (AEs) related to treatment were also recorded. Survival curves were constructed with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS: The baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups. The mean number of chemoembolization sessions per patient was 2.1 (range 1-3). The median OS was 10.0 months and 8.0 months in the S-T group and S group, respectively (P = 0.254). The median PFS between the two groups was similar (4.0 months vs. 4.0 months, P = 0.404). The disease control rate between the S-T and S groups were comparable (60.4% vs. 62.8%, P = 0.816). Although no chemoembolization-related deaths occurred, 13 grade 3-4 AEs occurred in the S-T group. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the real-world study demonstrated that additional chemoembolization treatment did not yield survival benefits compared to TKIs plus anti-PD-1 immunotherapy for the overall patients with advanced HCC and MPV invasion.

Both microplastics and antibiotics are commonly found contaminants in aquatic ecosystems. Microplastics have the ability to absorb antibiotic pollutants in water, but the specific adsorption behavior and mechanism are not fully understood, particularly in relation to the impact of microplastics on toxicity in aquatic environments. We review the interaction, mechanism, and transport of microplastics and antibiotics in water environments, with a focus on the main physical characteristics and environmental factors affecting adsorption behavior in water. We also analyze the effects of microplastic carriers on antibiotic transport and long-distance transport in the water environment. The toxic effects of microplastics combined with antibiotics on aquatic organisms are systematically explained, as well as the effect of the adsorption behavior of microplastics on the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. Finally, the scientific knowledge gap and future research directions related to the interactions between microplastics and antibiotics in the water environment are summarized to provide basic information for preventing and treating environmental risks.
