RESUMEN
Yellow-cheek carp (Elopichthys bambusa) is a typical large and ferocious carnivorous fish endemic to East Asia, with high growth rate, nutritional value and economic value. In this study, a chromosome-level genome of yellow-cheek carp was generated by combining PacBio reads, Illumina reads and Hi-C data. The genome size is 827.63 Mb with a scaffold N50 size of 33.65 Mb, and 99.51% (823.61 Mb) of the assembled sequences were anchored to 24 pseudo-chromosomes. The genome is predicted to contain 24,153 protein-coding genes, with 95.54% having functional annotations. Repeat elements account for approximately 55.17% of the genomic landscape. The completeness of yellow-cheek carp genome assembly is highlighted by a BUSCO score of 98.4%. This genome will help us understand the genetic diversity of yellow-cheek carp and facilitate its conservation planning.

Hearing loss (HL) is a health burden that seriously affects the quality of life of cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy, and few FDA-approved treatment specifically targets this condition. The main mechanisms that contribute to cisplatin-induced hearing loss are oxidative stress and subsequent cell death, including ferroptosis revealed by us as a new mechanism recently. In this study, we employed the frontier molecular orbital (FMO) theory approach as a convenient prediction method for the glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activity of isoselenazolones and discovered new isoselenazolones with great GPx-like activity. Notably, compound 19 exhibited significant protective effects against cisplatin-induced hair cell (HC) damage in vitro and in vivo and effectively reverses cisplatin-induced hearing loss through oral administration. Further investigations revealed that this compound effectively alleviated hair cell oxidative stress, apoptosis and ferroptosis. This research highlights the potential of GPx mimics as a therapeutic strategy against cisplatin-induced hearing loss. The application of quantum chemistry (QC) calculations in the study of GPx mimics sheds light on the development of new, innovative treatments for hearing loss.
