RESUMEN

As a kind of aminoglycoside antibiotics, kanamycin (KAN) is widely applied to animal husbandry and aquaculture. However, the abuse of KAN causes the large-scale discharge of it into rivers, lakes and groundwater, which threatens environmental safety and human health. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a method that is applicable to detect KAN in an efficient and accurate way. The colorimetric method based on enzymes provides a feasible solution for the detection of organic pollutants. However, the extensive application of natural enzymes is constrained by high cost and low stability. Herein, a polyoxometalate-based nanozyme, namely [H7SiW9V3O40(DPA)3]·4H2O (SiW9V3/DPA) (DPA = dipyridylamine), is synthesized. As a low-cost nanozyme with high stability compared to natural enzymes, SiW9V3/DPA performs well in laccase-mimicking activity. It can be used to induce chromogenic reaction between 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DP) and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AP), which generates red products. With the addition of KAN, the color fades. That is to say, KAN can be detected with colorimetric assay in the concentration range 0.1 to 100 µM with high selectivity and low limit of detection (LOD) of 6.28 µM. Moreover, SiW9V3/DPA is applied to KAN detection in lake and river water and milk with satisfactory results. To sum up, polyoxometalate-based nanozyme is expected to provide a promising solution to the detection of organic pollutants in the aquatic environment.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Growing evidence suggests that elective induction of labor at 39 weeks may lead to more favorable perinatal outcomes compared with the expectant management, however, how to weigh the pros and cons of elective labor induction at 39 weeks, the expectation of spontaneous delivery at 40 or 41 weeks, or delayed labor induction at 40 or 41 weeks on neonatal and maternal outcomes remains a practical challenge in clinical decision-making. OBJECTIVE: We compared neonatal and maternal outcomes between elective induction of labor at 39 weeks and expectant management in a real word setting. We also divided the expectantly managed group and compared outcomes between the spontaneous delivery group at 40 or 41 weeks, and the induced group at 40 or 41 weeks versus the elective induced group at 39 weeks. STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective cohort study included 21282 participants between January 1, 2019, and June 30, 2022. Participants were initially categorized into three groups at 39 weeks: elective induction of labor, spontaneous delivery, and expectant management, for the primary analysis comparing elective induction with expectant management. Subsequently, the expectant management group at 39 weeks was similarly divided into three groups at 40 weeks, and participants who underwent expectant management at 40 weeks were then divided into two groups at 41 weeks: elective induction and spontaneous delivery. In total, six groups were compared in the secondary analysis, with elective induction at 39 weeks serving as the reference group. RESULTS: At 39 weeks' gestational age, participants who received elective induction of labor had a significantly lower risk of primary composite outcomes compared to participants who received expectant management (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.55-0.95), and there was no significant difference in risk of cesarean delivery between the two groups. After further dividing the expectantly managed group, compared to participants with elective induction of labor at 39 weeks, those with spontaneous delivery at 40 weeks had significant lower risks of cesarean delivery (0.61, 0.52-0.71) and chorioamnionitis (0.78, 0.61-1.00), but a higher risk of fetal distress (1.39, 1.22-1.57); those with spontaneous delivery at 41 weeks had a significant higher risk of fetal distress (1.44, 1.16-1.79), postpartum hemorrhage (1.83, 1.26-2.66), and prolonged/arrested labor (1.61, 1.02-2.54). Moreover, compared to participants with elective induction of labor at 39 weeks, participants induced at later weeks had significantly higher risks of neonatal and maternal outcomes, especially at 40 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that elective induction of labor at 39 weeks was significantly associated with lower risks of short-term neonatal and maternal outcomes compared to expectant management. Moreover, our study highlights the nuanced trade-offs in risks and benefits between elective induction at 39 weeks versus waiting for spontaneous labor or delayed induction at 40/41 weeks, thus providing valuable insights for clinical decision-making in practice.

RESUMEN

While epidermal growth factor (EGF) shows promise in addressing the clinical manifestations of intestinal ulcerative diseases by activating the EGF receptor (EGFR)-mediated cell signaling, its clinical application is hampered by poor protein hydrolytic stability, low thermostability, and difficulty in modification. The development of a novel EGFR agonist for ulcerative colitis remains an urgent need, necessitating innovative solutions to overcome the limitations of current therapies via recombinant EGF protein. Herein, we introduce a novel DNA agonist for EGFR, Dimer-YL, which employs a bivalent aptamer to induce stable receptor dimerization, thereby activating the EGFR signaling and related cell behaviors. Dimer-YL has been demonstrated to recapitulate the EGF-promoted cellular behaviors, including proliferation and migration, as well as repair the damage of intercellular tight junctions. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate the potent therapeutic function of Dimer-YL in alleviating DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in vivo. Together, the present work has revealed Dimer-YL as an innovative DNA molecule for effective EGFR activation, offering promise for the development of EGFR-agonistic agents for therapeutic purposes.
