ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal cancer is among the most common cancers worldwide. Immune checkpoint inhibitor-based cancer immunotherapy has become an innovative approach in cancer treatment; however, its efficacy in gastrointestinal cancer is limited by the absence of infiltration of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, it is therefore urgent to develop a novel therapeutic drug to enhance immunotherapy. In this study, we describe a previously unreported potentiating effect of Icariside I (ICA I, GH01), the main bioactive compound isolated from the Epimedium species, on anti-tumor immune responses. Mechanistically, molecular docking and SPR assay result show that ICA I binding with TRPV4. ICA I induced intracellular Ca2+ increasing and mitochondrial DNA release by targeting TRPV4, which triggered cytosolic ox-mitoDNA release. Importantly, these intracellular ox-mitoDNA fragments were taken up by immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, which amplified the immune response. Moreover, our study shows the remarkable efficacy of sequential administration of ICA I and anti-α-PD-1 mAb in advanced tumors and provides a strong scientific rationale for recommending such a combination therapy for clinical trials. ICA I enhanced the anti-tumor effects with PD-1 inhibitors by regulating the TRPV4/Ca2+/Ox-mitoDNA/cGAS/STING axis. We expect that these findings will be translated into clinical therapies, which will benefit more patients with cancer in the near future.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a substantial role in cancer onset and recurrence. Anomalous iron and lipid metabolism have been documented in CSCs, suggesting that ferroptosis, a recently discovered form of regulated cell death characterised by lipid peroxidation, could potentially exert a significant influence on CSCs. However, the precise role of ferroptosis in gastric cancer stem cells (GCSCs) remains unknown. To address this gap, we screened ferroptosis-related genes in GCSCs using The Cancer Genome Atlas and corroborated our findings through quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. These results indicate that stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) is a key player in the regulation of ferroptosis in GCSCs. This study provides evidence that SCD1 positively regulates the transcription of squalene epoxidase (SQLE) by eliminating transcriptional inhibition of P53. This mechanism increases the cholesterol content and the elevated cholesterol regulated by SCD1 inhibits ferroptosis via the mTOR signalling pathway. Furthermore, our in vivo studies showed that SCD1 knockdown or regulation of cholesterol intake affects the stemness of GCSCs and their sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers. Thus, targeting the SCD1/squalene epoxidase/cholesterol signalling axis in conjunction with ferroptosis inducers may represent a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of gastric cancer based on GCSCs.

Targeted imaging of cancer lymphatic metastasis remains challenging due to its highly heterogeneous molecular and phenotypic diversity. Herein, triple-targeted protein nanoprobes capable of specifically binding to three targets for imaging cancer lymphatic metastasis, through a data-driven design approach combined with a synthetic biology-based assembly strategy, are introduced. Specifically, to address the diversity of metastatic lymph nodes (LNs), a combination of three targets, including C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), transferrin receptor protein 1 (TfR1), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) is identified, leveraging machine leaning-based bioinformatics analysis and examination of LN tissues from patients with gastric cancer. Using this identified target combination, ferritin nanocage-based nanoprobes capable of specifically binding to all three targets are designed through the self-assembly of genetically engineered ferritin subunits using a synthetic biology approach. Using these nanoprobes, multiplexed imaging of heterogeneous metastatic LNs is successfully achieved in a polyclonal lymphatic metastasis animal model. In 19 freshly resected human gastric specimens, the signal from the triple-targeted nanoprobes significantly differentiates metastatic LNs from benign LNs. This study not only provides an effective nanoprobe for imaging highly heterogeneous lymphatic metastasis but also proposes a potential strategy for guiding the design of targeted nanomedicines for cancer lymphatic metastasis.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the radiological and clinical outcomes of treatment using the ankle dislocation method for posterior malleolar malunion. METHOD: Thirty-one patients with posterior malleolar malunion who underwent treatment using the ankle dislocation method from May 2015 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Key outcome measures were radiographic parameters (articular step-off, tibiofibular clear space, fibular length, tibial lateral surface angle, and ankle osteoarthritis), clinical scores (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scale and Visual Analogue Scale), and patient satisfaction rate. RESULT: Preoperative computed tomography revealed that Bartoní cek types 3 and 4 accounted for 64.5 % (n = 20) of total cases. Most posterior malleolar malunions were accompanied by depressed intercalary fragments (61.2 % [n = 19]). At the final follow-up, radiographic parameters and clinical scores showed significant improvements postoperatively (P < 0.05), with a high patient satisfaction rate of 77.4 %. Subgroup analysis revealed that the posterior malleolar fracture morphology significantly affected postoperative pain, particularly in more complex fractures (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The ankle dislocation method effectively exposes the distal tibial articular surface and facilitates the anatomical restoration of joint congruity under direct vision. This approach substantially improves the clinical and imaging outcomes in patients with complex posterior malleolar malunion. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, retrospective case series.
ABSTRACT
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal disease and associated with metabolism dysregulation. Nogo-B is related to multiple metabolic related diseases and types of cancers. However, the role of Nogo-B in PC remains unknown. In vitro, we showed that cell viability and migration was largely reduced in Nogo-B knockout or knockdown cells, while enhanced by Nogo-B overexpression. Consistently, orthotopic tumor and metastasis was reduced in global Nogo knockout mice. Furthermore, we indicated that glucose enhanced cell proliferation was associated to the elevation expression of Nogo-B and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). While, NF-κB, glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) expression was reduced in Nogo-B deficiency cells. In addition, we showed that GLUT1 and SREBP1 was downstream target of NF-κB. Therefore, we demonstrated that Nogo deficiency inhibited PC progression is regulated by the NF-κB/GLUT1 and SREBP1 pathways, and suggested that Nogo-B may be a target for PC therapy.
ABSTRACT
The room temperature metal-free cascade electrophilic addition/cyclization/oxidation reactions of (3-phenoxyprop-1-yn-1-yl)benzenes to divergently synthesize various brominated benzopyran derivatives (3-bromo-2H-chromenes, 3-bromo-2H-chromen-2-ols and 3-bromo coumarins) by tuning the amount of Br2 and H2O have been developed. The method exhibited high selectivity, mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, high efficiency, and the applicability for derivatization of the brominated products. The importance of the strategies provides a great advantage for selective synthesis of brominated benzopyran derivatives.
ABSTRACT
Microwave irradiation (MW) and ionic liquids (ILs) are two of the most promising relatively greener synthetic approaches to preparing value-added chemicals. Herein, a series of 2-acylbenzothiazole derivatives were synthesized for the first time from commercially available α-bromoacetophenones and disulfane-diyl-dianilines through the cooperation of ionic liquids and microwave irradiation under metal- and extra-additives-free conditions. A plausible mechanism involving the successive IL-induced enolation has been proposed.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of talonavicular-cuneiform joint fusion with iliac bone grafting and without bone grafting in the treatment of Müller-Weiss diseases (MWD). Methods: The clinical data of 44 patients (44 feet) with MWD who received talonavicular-cuneiform joint fusion between January 2017 and November 2022 and met the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 25 patients were treated with structural iliac bone grafting (bone grafting group) and 19 patients without bone grafting (non-bone grafting group). There was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in age, gender composition, body mass index, disease duration, affected side, Maceira stage, and preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, anteroposterior/lateral Meary angle, and Pitch angle between the two groups. Operation time, operation cost, and postoperative complications were recorded in the two groups. AOFAS and VAS scores were used to evaluate the function and pain degree of the affected foot. Meary angle and Pitch angle were measured on the X-ray film, and the joint fusion was observed after operation. The difference (change value) of the above indexes before and after operation was calculated for comparison between groups to evaluate the difference in effectiveness. Results: The operation was successfully completed in both groups, and the incisions in the two groups healed by first intention. The operation time and cost in the bone grafting group were significantly more than those in the non-bone grafting group ( P<0.05). All patients were followed up. The median follow-up time was 41.0 months (range, 16-77 months) in the non-bone grafting group and 40.0 months (range, 16-80 months) in the bone grafting group. There was skin numbness of the medial dorsalis of the foot in 1 case, internal fixation stimulation in 2 cases, and pain at the iliac bone harvesting area in 1 case of the bone grafting group. There was skin numbness of the medial dorsalis of the foot in 1 case and muscle atrophy of the lower limb in 1 case of the non-bone grafting group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the AOFAS scores of the two groups significantly improved when compared with those before operation, while the VAS scores significantly decreased, the anteroposterior/lateral Meary angle and Pitch angle significantly improved, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the change values of outcome indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no delayed bone union or bone nonunion in both groups, and joint fusion was achieved at last follow-up. Conclusion: In the treatment of MWD, there is no significant difference in effectiveness and imaging improvement of talonavicular-cuneiform joint fusion combined with or without bone grafting. However, non-bone grafting can shorten the operation time, reduce the cost, and may avoid the complications of bone donor site.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Midfoot arthrodesis is regarded as the main surgical approach for treating Müller-Weiss disease (MWD). This study aimed to investigate the incidence of postoperative pain during MWD treatment through midfoot reduction or malreduction during arthrodesis and to explore the factors influencing postoperative pain in patients with MWD. METHODS: A total of 67 patients with MWD were recruited and divided into two groups according to whether midfoot alignment was reduced: reduction group (n = 38) and malreduction group (n = 29). Demographic characteristics before the operation and at the last follow-up, as well as clinical and radiographic parameters, were compared between the two groups. Clinical parameters included the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society score and visual analog scale score, whereas radiographic parameters included the calcaneal pitch angle, lateral Meary's angle, talometatarsal-1 angle dorsoplantar (TMT1dp), talocalcaneal angle dorsoplantar (Kite angle), talonavicular coverage angle, and medial navicular pole extrusion. Postoperative complications and incidence of midfoot pain were evaluated at the last follow-up visit. RESULTS: The reduction group exhibited better clinical and radiological parameters, including the TMT1dp and medial navicular pole extrusion, than the malreduction group at the last follow-up (all P < .05). However, the calcaneal pitch angle, lateral Meary's angle, Kite angle, and talonavicular coverage angle did not significantly differ between the two groups (all P > .05). The overall incidence of midfoot pain was 26.4%. The reduction group showed a lower incidence of medial pain than the malreduction group (15.7% vs. 40.0%, P < .05). Regression analysis revealed that midfoot abduction, represented by the TMT1dp, was a critical factor for midfoot arthrodesis failure and that medial navicular pole extrusion was not correlated with postoperative midfoot pain. CONCLUSION: Midfoot reduction arthrodesis yields better clinical outcomes than malreduction arthrodesis. The TMT1dp, representing midfoot abduction, is a key factor for midfoot arthrodesis failure. The extruded medial navicular bone may not affect postoperative medial midfoot pain. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

The gut microbiota and Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) can influence the progression of diseases, yet the role of these factors on gastric cancer (GC) remains uncertain. In this work, the analysis of the gut microbiota composition and SCFA content in the blood and feces of both healthy individuals and GC patients indicated that significant reductions in the abundance of intestinal bacteria involved in SCFA production were observed in GC patients compared with the controls. ABX mice transplanted with fecal microbiota from GC patients developed more tumors during the induction of GC and had lower levels of butyric acid. Supplementation of butyrate during the induction of gastric cancer along with H. pylori and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) in WT in GPR109A-/-mice resulted in fewer tumors and more IFN-γ+ CD8+ T cells, but this effect was significantly weakened after knockout of GPR109A. Furthermore, In vitro GC cells and co-cultured CD8+ T cells or CAR-Claudin 18.2+ CD8+ T cells, as well as in vivo tumor-bearing studies, have indicated that butyrate enhanced the killing function of CD8+ T cells or CAR-Claudin 18.2+ CD8+ T cells against GC cells through G protein-coupled receptor 109A (GPR109A) and homologous domain protein homologous box (HOPX). Together, these data highlighted that the restoration of gut microbial butyrate enhanced CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity via GPR109A/HOPX, thus inhibiting GC carcinogenesis, which suggests a novel theoretical foundation for GC management against GC.

Six amides, including a new N-alkylamide (1), four known N-alkylamides (2-5) and one nicotinamide (6) were isolated from Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers., which is a pioneer herb traditionally utilized in medicine. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments and by comparison of their spectroscopic and physical data with the literature values. Cubebamide (1) is a new cinnamoyltyraminealkylamide and possessed obvious anti-inflammatory activity against NO production with IC50 values of 18.45 µM. Further in-depth pharmacophore-based virtual screening and molecular docking were carried out to reveal the binding mode of the active compound inside the 5-LOX enzyme. The results indicate that L. cubeba, and the isolated amides might be useful in the development of lead compounds for the prevention of inflammatory diseases.

The economic and practical strategies of direct nucleophilic attack/addition cyclization and C-H bond activation reactions to synthesize 3-benzyl-/3-benzyl-2-phenyl-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles via (Z)-(2,3-dibromoprop-1-en-1-yl)benzene/(3-bromoprop-1-yn-1-yl)benzene, 1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-thiols and halobenzenes have been developed. With the optimized reaction conditions, the nucleophilic attack/addition cyclization reaction (Cs2CO3, MeCN, 90 °C, 24 h) and C-H bond activation reaction [Pd(OAc)2/PPh3, p-xylene, 135 °C, 24 h] could tolerate various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups and afford new benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles in good to excellent yields (up to 93% yield).
ABSTRACT
Dipole magnet vacuum chambers are among the most critical and costly components of rapid-cycling accelerator facilities. Alternative approaches to traditional ceramic chambers have been explored for the implementation of fast-ramping dipole-magnet vacuum chambers, including thin-wall metallic beam pipe chambers strengthened with transverse ribs and ceramic rings inside thin-walled chambers. Here, we report a novel 3D-printed titanium alloy cage inside the thin-wall vacuum chamber, which is designed for high-intensity heavy ion accelerator facility (HIAF) to reduce manufacturing difficulty and cost, shorten the production cycle, and improve the quality. Comprehensive studies were undertaken to characterize the impedance of the 3D-printed titanium alloy cage inside the thin-wall vacuum chamber. The beam-coupling impedance and eddy currents of the new thin-wall vacuum chamber were studied mostly numerically. Strategies for further reducing the beam-coupling impedance were explored. In addition, impedance bench measurements using the "half wavelength" resonant method were conducted to identify the longitudinal and transverse impedances of the 3D-printed titanium alloy cage inside the thin-wall vacuum chamber prototype experimentally. The simulated and measured results for the impedance were consistent. Furthermore, a campaign for resonance-check measurements on the 3D-printed titanium alloy ring loaded inside a thin-wall vacuum chamber prototype was launched. This novel thin-wall vacuum chamber structure is now entering the fabrication stage and will soon be ready for installation in the Booster Ring (BRing).
ABSTRACT
The study aims to examine the associations between social contact pattern changes and mental health status, including depression, anxiety, and loneliness, among Chinese adults in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Data on social contact patterns before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 were obtained from 3511 participants. Mental health (ie, depression, anxiety, and loneliness) was assessed by the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire, Dark Future Scale, and the 9-scale Three-Item Loneliness Scale, respectively. Poisson regression analyses revealed that the participants who had increased in-person communication were more likely to have mental disorders [depression: prevalence ratio (PR)=1.13, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02, 1.26; anxiety: PR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.30]. The current study concluded that the in-person communication increase before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 was associated with mental disorders among Chinese adults.

The oxidation of benzyl alcohols is an important reaction in organic synthesis. Traditional methods for benzyl alcohol oxidation have not been widely utilized due to the use of significant amounts of precious metals and environmentally unfriendly reagents. In recent years, electrocatalytic oxidation has gained significant attention, particularly electrochemical anodic oxidation, which offers a sustainable alternative for oxidation without the need for external oxidants or reducing agents. Here, a copper monosubstituted phosphotungstate-based polyacrylate resins (Cu-LPOMs@PPAR) catalyst has been fabricated with immobilization and recyclability using 3D printing technology that can be successfully applied in the electrocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde, achieving atom economy and reducing pollution. In this protocol, we obtain benzaldehyde in good yields with excellent functional group toleration under metal-free and oxidant-free conditions. This strategy could provide a new avenue for heterogeneous catalysts in application for enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of electrocatalytic oxidation processes.
ABSTRACT
Most gastric cancer (GC) patients with early stage often have no lymph node (LN) metastases, while LN metastases appear in the advanced stage. However, there are some patients who present with early stage LN metastases and no LN metastases in the advanced stage. To explore the deeper molecular mechanisms involved, we collected clinical samples from early and advanced stage GC with and without LN metastases, as well as metastatic lymph nodes. Herein, we identified a key target, HOXA11, that was upregulated in GC tissues and closely associated with lymphatic metastases. HOXA11 transcriptionally regulates TGFß1 expression and activates the TGFß1/Smad2 pathway, which not only promotes EMT development but also induces VEGF-C secretion and lymphangiogenesis. These findings provide a plausible mechanism for HOXA11-modulated tumor in lymphatic metastasis and suggest that HOXA11 may represent a potential therapeutic target for clinical intervention in LN-metastatic gastric cancer.
ABSTRACT
Resistance to HER2-targeted therapy narrows the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Although 4-1BB/CD137 is a promising drug target as a costimulatory molecule of immune cells, no therapeutic drug has been approved in the clinic because of systemic toxicity or limited efficacy. Previously, we developed a humanized anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) HuA21 and anti-4-1BB mAb HuB6 with distinct antigen epitopes for cancer therapy. Here, we generated an Fc-muted IgG4 HER2/4-1BB bispecific antibody (BsAb) HK006 by the fusion of HuB6 scFv and HuA21 Fab. HK006 exhibited synergistic antitumor activity by blocking HER2 signal transduction and stimulating the 4-1BB signaling pathway simultaneously and strictly dependent on HER2 expression in vitro and in vivo. Strikingly, HK006 treatment enhanced antitumor immunity by increasing and activating tumor-infiltrating T cells. Moreover, HK006 did not induce nonspecific production of proinflammatory cytokines and had no obvious toxicity in mice. Overall, these data demonstrated that HK006 should be a promising candidate for HER2-positive cancer immunotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Indirect electrocatalytic conversion of cheap organic raw materials via the activation of SâH and NâH bonds into the value-added SâN/SâS bonds chemicals for industrial rubber production is a promising strategy to realize the atomic economic reaction, during which the kinetic inhibition that is associated with the electron transfer at the electrode/electrolyte interface in traditional direct electrocatalysis can be eliminated to achieve higher performance. In this work, a series of di-copper-substituted phosphotungstatebased foams (PW10 Cu2 @CMC) are fabricated with tunable loadings (17 to 44 wt%), which can be successfully applied in indirect electrocatalytic syntheses of sulfenamides and disulfides. Specifically, the optimal PW10 Cu2 @CMC (44 wt%) exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance for the construction of SâN/SâS bonds (yields up to 99%) coupling with the efficient production of H2 (≈50 µmol g-1 h-1 ). Remarkably, it enables the scale-up production (≈14.4 g in a batch experiment) and the obtained products can serve as rubber vulcanization accelerators with superior properties to traditional industrial rubber additives in real industrial processes. This powerful catalysis system that can simultaneously produce rubber vulcanization accelerator and H2 may inaugurate a new electrocatalytic avenue to explore polyoxometalate-based foam catalysts in electrocatalysis field.
ABSTRACT
Innate immunity triggered by the cGAS/STING pathway has the potential to improve cancer immunotherapy. Previously, the authors reported that double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) released by dying tumor cells can trigger the cGAS/STING pathway. However, owing to efferocytosis, dying tumor cells are engulfed and cleared before the damaged dsDNA is released; hence, immunologic tolerance and immune escape occur. Herein, a cancer-cell-membrane biomimetic nanocomposites that exhibit tumor-immunotherapeutic effects are synthesized by augmenting the cGAS/STING pathway and suppressing efferocytosis. Once internalized by cancer cells, a combined chemo/chemodynamic therapy would be triggered, which damages their nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. Furthermore, the releasing Annexin A5 protein could inhibit efferocytosis effect and promote immunostimulatory secondary necrosis by preventing phosphatidylserine exposure, resulting in the burst release of dsDNA. These dsDNA fragments, as molecular patterns to immunogenic damage, escape from the cancer cells, activate the cGAS/STING pathway, enhance cross-presentation inside dendritic cells, and promote M1-polarization of tumor-associated macrophages. In vivo experiments suggest that the proposed nanocomposite could recruit cytotoxic T-cells and facilitate long-term immunological memory. Moreover, when combined with immune-checkpoint blockades, it could augment the immune response. Therefore, this novel biomimetic nanocomposite is a promising strategy for generating adaptive antitumor immune responses.
