RESUMO

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) captured from the bloodstream of patients with solid tumors have the potential to accelerate precision oncology by providing insight into tumor biology, disease progression and response to treatment. However, their potential is hampered by the lack of standardized CTC enrichment platforms across tumor types. EpCAM-based CTC enrichment, the most commonly used platform, is limited by EpCAM downregulation during metastasis and the low EpCAM expression in certain tumor types, including the highly prevalent and lethal NSCLC. In this study we demonstrate that Transferrin Receptor (TfR) is a selective, efficient biomarker for CTC identification and capture in patients with prostate, pancreatic and NSCLC. TfR identifies significantly higher CTC counts than EpCAM, and TfR + -CTC enumeration correlates with disease progression in metastatic prostate and pancreatic cancers, and overall survival and osimetrinib-resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Profiling of TfR + -CTCs provides a snapshot of the molecular landscape of each respective tumor type and identifies potential mechanisms underlying treatment response to EGFR TKi and immune checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC. One sentence summary: Transferrin Receptor identifies circulating tumor cells in solid tumors.

RESUMO

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare spindle cell tumor originating from mesenchymal tissue, and even rarer when it occurs intracranially. This case report described a 42-year-old man who presented with headache and limb weakness for more than 10 days. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a well-defined multicompartmental cystic space-occupying lesion in the left occipital region, with surrounding edema and a compressed left lateral ventricle, the mass growing across the cerebellar vermis, which was initially diagnosed as hemangioblastoma. Neurosurgery was utilized to successfully remove the mass, and intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (ISFT) was identified by postoperative pathological analysis. Here, this article describes the imaging manifestations and pathologic features of a case of cystic intracranial solitary fibrous tumor, aiming to improve the understanding and diagnosis of this disease in order to provide an accurate therapy plan.

RESUMO

Interfacial solar evaporation (ISE) holds considerable promise to solve fresh water shortage, but it is challenging to achieve high evaporation rate (Reva) and fresh water yield in close system. Here, we report design and preparation of MOF-based solar evaporators with hierarchical microporous/nanobridged/nanogranular structures for rapid ISE and fresh water collection in close system. The evaporators are fabricated by growing silicone nanofilaments with variable length as nanobridges on a microporous silicone sponge followed by grafting with polydopamine nanoparticles and Cu-MOF nanocrystals. Integration of the unique structure and excellent photothermal composites endows the evaporators with high Reva of 3.5-20 wt% brines (3.60-2.90 kg m-2 h-1 in open system and 2.38-1.44 kg m-2 h-1 in close system) under simulated 1 sun, high Reva under natural sunlight, excellent salt resistance and high fresh water yield, which surpass most state-of-the-art evaporators. Moreover, when combined with a superhydrophilic cover, the evaporators show much higher average Reva of real seawater, remarkable fresh water yield and excellent long-term stability over one month continuous ISE under natural sunlight. The findings here will promote the development of advanced evaporators via microstructure engineering and their real-world ISE applications.

RESUMO

Harvesting freshwater from fog is one of the possible solutions to the global water scarcity crisis. Surfaces with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions are extensively employed for this purpose. Nevertheless, the longevity of these surfaces is still constrained by their delicate surface structures. The hydrophilic zones may become damaged or contaminated after repeated use, thereby compromising their effectiveness in fog collection. The preparation of generally applicable durable superhydrophobic coatings with self-generated Wenzel sites is reported here for long-term efficient and stable fog collection. The coatings are prepared by depositing the poly(tannic acid) coating as the primer layer on various substrates, self-assembly of trichlorovinylsilane into staggered silicone nanofilaments, and then thiol-ene click reaction with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecanethiol. The coatings demonstrate remarkable static superhydrophobicity, robust impalement resistance, and stable self-generated Wenzel sites for water droplets. Therefore, the fog collection rate (FCR) of the coatings reaches 2.13 g cm-2 h-1 during 192 h continuous fog collection, which is triple that of bare substrate and outperforms most previous studies. Moreover, the systematic experiments and models have revealed that the key factors for achieving high FCR on superhydrophobic coatings are forming condensed droplets ≈1 mm in critical radius and a Wenzel site proportion of 0.3-0.4.
