Occurrence and prevention of incisional hernia following laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Among minimally invasive surgical procedures, colorectal surgery is associated with a notably higher incidence of incisional hernia (IH), ranging from 1.7% to 24.3%. This complication poses a significant burden on the healthcare system annually, necessitating urgent attention from surgeons. In a study published in the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Fan et al compared the incidence of IH among 1614 patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery with different extraction site locations and evaluated the risk factors associated with its occurrence. This editorial analyzes the current risk factors for IH after laparoscopic colorectal surgery, emphasizing the impact of obesity, surgical site infection, and the choice of incision location on its development. Furthermore, we summarize the currently available preventive measures for IH. Given the low surgical repair rate and high recurrence rate associated with IH, prevention deserves greater research and attention compared to treatment.

Impact of immunotherapy on liver metastasis.

This editorial discusses the article "Analysis of the impact of immunotherapy efficacy and safety in patients with gastric cancer and liver metastasis" published in the latest edition of the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery. Immunotherapy has achieved outstanding success in tumor treatment. However, the presence of liver metastasis (LM) restrains the efficacy of immunotherapy in various tumors, including lung cancer, colorectal cancer, renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and gastric cancer. A decrease in CD8+ T cells and nature killer cells, along with an increase in macrophages and regulatory T cells, was observed in the microenvironment of LM, leading to immunotherapy resistance. More studies are necessary to determine the best strategy for enhancing the effectiveness of immunotherapy in patients with LM.

Association of accelerometer-derived physical activity with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among individuals with cardiovascular diseases: A prospective cohort study.

AIMS: To investigate the association of accelerometer-measured intensity-specific physical activity (PA) with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, 8,024 individuals with pre-existing CVD (mean age: 66.6 years, female: 34.1%) from the UK Biobank had their PA measured using wrist-worn accelerometers over a 7-day period in 2013-2015. All-cause, cancer, and CVD mortality was ascertained from death registries. Cox regression modelling and restricted cubic splines were used to assess the associations. Population-attributable fractions (PAFs) were used to estimate the proportion of preventable deaths if more PA were undertaken. RESULTS: During an average of 6.8 years of follow-up, 691 deaths (273 from cancer and 219 from CVD) were recorded. An inverse non-linear association was found between PA duration and all-cause mortality risk, irrespective of PA intensity. The hazard ratio (HR) of all-cause mortality plateaued at 1800 minutes/week for light-intensity PA (LPA), 320 minutes/week for moderate-intensity PA (MPA) and 15 minutes/week for vigorous-intensity PA (VPA). The highest quartile of PA associated lower risks for all-cause mortality, with HRs of 0.63 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.51-0.79), 0.42 (0.33-0.54) and 0.47 (0.37-0.60) for LPA, MPA, and VPA, respectively. Similar associations were observed for cancer and CVD mortality. Additionally, the highest PAF were noted for VPA, followed by MPA. CONCLUSION: We found an inverse non-linear association between all intensities of PA (LPA, MPA, VPA, and MVPA) and mortality risk in CVD patients using accelerometer-derived data, but with larger magnitude of the associations than that in previous studies based on self-reported PA.

This study investigated the associations of accelerometer-derived intensity-specific physical activity (PA) with the risks of all-cause and cause-specific mortality among individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD). L-shaped dose-response relationships between the duration of PA and all-cause mortality were observed across all levels of PA intensities. The risk reduction for mortality exhibited a sharp decline from 0 to 1800 minutes/week of light-intensity PA, followed by reaching a plateau. Notably, the inflection points for moderate-intensity PA and vigorous-intensity PA were found at 320 and 15 minutes per week, respectively. The population-attributable fraction analysis indicated that a significant number of deaths could potentially be prevented if individuals with CVD engaged in more vigorous physical activities.

Elucidating prognosis in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma: a novel anoikis-related gene signature model.

Background: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC) are among the most prevalent gynecologic malignancies globally. The prognosis is abysmal once cervical cancer progresses to lymphatic metastasis. Anoikis, a specialized form of apoptosis induced by loss of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix, plays a critical role. The prediction model based on anoikis-related genes (ARGs) expression and clinical data could greatly aid clinical decision-making. However, the relationship between ARGs and CESC remains unclear. Methods: ARGs curated from the GeneCards and Harmonizome portals were instrumental in delineating CESC subtypes and in developing a prognostic framework for patients afflicted with this condition. We further delved into the intricacies of the immune microenvironment and pathway enrichment across the identified subtypes. Finally, our efforts culminated in the creation of an innovative nomogram that integrates ARGs. The utility of this prognostic tool was underscored by Decision Curve Analysis (DCA), which illuminate its prospective benefits in guiding clinical interventions. Results: In our study, We discerned a set of 17 survival-pertinent, anoikis-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CESC, from which nine were meticulously selected for the construction of prognostic models. The derived prognostic risk score was subsequently validated as an autonomous prognostic determinant. Through comprehensive functional analyses, we observed distinct immune profiles and drug response patterns among divergent prognostic stratifications. Further, we integrated the risk scores with the clinicopathological characteristics of CESC to develop a robust nomogram. DCA corroborated the utility of our model, demonstrating its potential to enhance patient outcomes through tailored clinical treatment strategies. Conclusion: The predictive signature, encompassing nine pivotal genes, alongside the meticulously constructed nomogram developed in this research, furnishes clinicians with a sophisticated tool for tailoring treatment strategies to individual patients diagnosed with CESC.

Elevated serum neurofilament light chain levels are associated with hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis.

Increasing evidences implicate vital role of neuronal damage in the development of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is the main frame component of neurons and is closely related to axonal radial growth and neuronal structural stability. We hypothesized that NfL as a biomarker of axonal injury may contribute to early diagnosis of HE. This study recruited 101 patients with liver cirrhosis, 10 healthy individuals, and 7 patients with Parkinson's disease. Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) was diagnosed using psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score. Serum NfL levels were measured by the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Serum NfL levels in cirrhotic patients with MHE were significantly higher than cirrhotic patients without MHE, and increased accordingly with the aggravation of HE. Serum NfL levels were associated with psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score, Child-Pugh score, model for end-stage liver disease score, and days of hospitalization. Additionally, serum NfL was an independent predictor of MHE (odds ratio of 1.020 (95% CI 1.005-1.034); P = 0.007). The discriminative abilities of serum NfL were high for identifying MHE (AUC of 0.8134 (95% CI 0.7130-0.9219); P ˂ 0.001) and OHE (AUC of 0.8852 (95% CI 0.8117-0.9587); P ˂ 0.001). Elevated serum NfL levels correlated with the presence of MHE and associated with the severity of HE, are expected to be a biomarker in patients with cirrhosis. Our study suggested that neuronal damage may play a critical role in the development of HE.

tRNA m1A modification regulate HSC maintenance and self-renewal via mTORC1 signaling.

Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) possess unique physiological adaptations to sustain blood cell production and cope with stress responses throughout life. To maintain these adaptations, HSCs rely on maintaining a tightly controlled protein translation rate. However, the mechanism of how HSCs regulate protein translation remains to be fully elucidated. In this study, we investigate the role of transfer RNA (tRNA) m1A58 'writer' proteins TRMT6 and TRMT61A in regulating HSCs function. Trmt6 deletion promoted HSC proliferation through aberrant activation of mTORC1 signaling. TRMT6-deficient HSCs exhibited an impaired self-renewal ability in competitive transplantation assay. Mechanistically, single cell RNA-seq analysis reveals that the mTORC1 signaling pathway is highly upregulated in HSC-enriched cell populations after Trmt6 deletion. m1A-tRNA-seq and Western blot analysis suggest that TRMT6 promotes methylation modification of specific tRNA and expression of TSC1, fine-tuning mTORC1 signaling levels. Furthermore, Pharmacological inhibition of the mTORC1 pathway rescued functional defect in TRMT6-deficient HSCs. To our knowledge, this study is the first to elucidate a mechanism by which TRMT6-TRMT61A complex-mediated tRNA-m1A58 modification regulates HSC homeostasis.

Neglected role of iron redox cycle in direct interspecies electron transfer in anaerobic methanogenesis: Inspired from biogeochemical processes.

Anaerobic digestion is an indispensable technical option towards green and low-carbon wastewater treatment, with interspecies electron transfer (IET) playing a key role in its efficiency and operational stability. The exogenous semiconductive iron oxides have been proven to effectively enhance IET, while the cognition of the physicochemical-biochemical coupling stimulatory mechanism was circumscribed and remains to be elucidated. In this study, semiconductive iron oxides, α-Fe2O3, γ-Fe2O3, α-FeOOH, and γ-FeOOH were found to significantly enhance syntrophic methanogenesis by 76.39, 72.40, 37.33, and 32.64% through redirecting the dominant IET pathway from classical interspecies hydrogen transfer to robust direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET). Their alternative roles as electron shuttles potentially substituting for c-type cytochromes were conjectured to establish an electron transport matrix associated with conductive pili. Distinguished from the conventional electron conductor mechanism of conductive Fe3O4, semiconductive iron oxides facilitated DIET intrinsically through the capacitive Fe(III/II) redox cycles coupled with secondary mineralization. The growth of Aminobacterium, Sedimentibacter, and Methanothrix was enriched and the gene copy numbers of Geobacteraceae 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid were selectively flourished by 2.0-∼4.5- fold to establish a favorable microflora for DIET pathway. Metabolic pathways of syntrophic acetogenesis from propionate/butyrate and CO2 reduction methanogenesis were correspondingly promoted. The above findings provide new insights into the underlying mechanism of iron minerals enhancing the DIET-oriented pathway and offer paradigms for redox-mediated energy harvesting biological wastewater treatment.

Synthesis and Properties of Size-Adjustable CsPbBr3 Nanosheets for Potential Photocatalysis.

Amidst the rapid advancements in the fields of photovoltaics and optoelectronic devices, CsPbBr3 nanosheets (NSs) have emerged as a focal point of research due to their exceptional optical and electronic properties. This work explores the application potential of CsPbBr3 NSs in photonic and catalytic domains. Utilizing an optimized hot-injection method and a ZnBr2-assisted in situ passivation strategy, we successfully synthesized CsPbBr3 NSs with controlled dimensions and optical characteristics. Comprehensive characterization revealed that the nucleation environment and thickness significantly influenced the structure and optical performance of the materials. The results indicate that the optimized synthesis method enables control over the lateral dimensions of the nanoparticles, ranging from 9.1 ± 0.06 nm to 334.5 ± 4.40 nm, facilitating the tuning of the excitation wavelength from 460 nm (blue) to 510 nm (green). Further analyses involving photoresponse and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrated the substantial potential of these NSs in applications such as photocatalysis and energy conversion.

Rational design of diblock copolymer enables efficient cytosolic protein delivery.

Polymer-mediated cytosolic protein delivery demonstrates a promising strategy for the development of protein therapeutics. Here, we propose a new designed diblock copolymer which realizes efficient cytosolic protein delivery both in vitro and in vivo. The polymer contains one protein-binding block composed of phenylboronic acid (PBA) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) (DMAP) pendant units for protein binding and endosomal escape, respectively, followed by the response to ATP enriched in the cytosol which triggers the protein release. The other block is PEG designed to improve particle size control and circulation in vivo. By optimizing the block composition, sequence and length of the copolymer, the optimal one (BP20) was identified with the binding block containing 20 units of both PBA and DMAP, randomly distributed along the chain. When mixed with proteins, the BP20 forms stable nanoparticles and mediates efficient cytosolic delivery of a wide range of proteins including enzymes, toxic proteins and CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNP), to various cell lines. The PEG block, especially when further modified with folic acid (FA), enables tumor-targeted delivery of Saporin in vivo, which significantly suppresses the tumor growth. Our results shall inspire the design of novel polymeric vehicles with robust capability for cytosolic protein delivery, which holds great potential for both biological research and therapeutic applications.

LncRNA MAGI2-AS3 promotes fracture healing through downregulation of miR-223-3p.

BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are recognized as a pivotal element in the processes of fracture healing and the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. This study investigated the molecular mechanism and regulatory significance of lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 (MAGI2-AS3) in fracture healing. METHODS: Serum levels of MAGI2-AS3 in patients with normal and delayed fracture healing were verified by RT-qPCR assays. The predictive efficacy of MAGI2-AS3 for delayed fracture healing was analyzed by ROC curve. Osteogenic markers were quantified by RT-qPCR assays. MC3T3-E1 cell viability was detected using CCK-8 assay, and flow cytometry was utilized to measure cell apoptosis. The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the targeted binding between MAGI2-AS3 and miR-223-3p. RESULTS: Serum MAGI2-AS3 expression was decreased in patients with delayed fracture healing compared with patients with normal healing. Elevated MAGI2-AS3 resulted in an upregulation of the proliferative capacity of MC3T3-E1 cells and a decrease in mortality, along with increased levels of both osteogenic markers. However, after transfection silencing MAGI2-AS3, the trend was reversed. Additionally, miR-223-3p was the downstream target of MAGI2-AS3 and was controlled by MAGI2-AS3. miR-223-3p mimic reversed the promoting effects of MAGI2-AS3 overexpression on osteogenic marker levels and cell growth, and induced cell apoptosis. CONCLUSION: The upregulation of MAGI2-AS3 may expedite the healing of fracture patients by targeting miR-223-3p, offering a novel biomarker for diagnosing patients with delayed healing.

Single-cell and Bulk Transcriptomic Analyses Reveal a Stemness and Circadian Rhythm Disturbance-related Signature Predicting Clinical Outcome and Immunotherapy Response in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

AIMS: Investigating the impact of stemness-related circadian rhythm disruption (SCRD) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prognosis and its potential as a predictor for immunotherapy response. BACKGROUND: Circadian disruption has been linked to tumor progression through its effect on the stemness of cancer cells. OBJECTIVE: Develop a novel signature for SCRD to accurately predict clinical outcomes and immune therapy response in patients with HCC. METHODS: The stemness degree of patients with HCC was assessed based on the stemness index (mRNAsi). The co-expression circadian genes significantly correlated with mRNAsi were identified and defined as stemness- and circadian-related genes (SCRGs). The SCRD scores of samples and cells were calculated based on the SCRGs. Differentially expressed genes with a prognostic value between distinct SCRD groups were identified in bulk and single-cell datasets to develop an SCRD signature. RESULTS: A higher SCRD score indicates a worse patient survival rate. Analysis of the tumor microenvironment revealed a significant correlation between SCRD and infiltrating immune cells. Heterogeneous expression patterns, functional states, genomic variants, and cell-cell interactions between two SCRD populations were revealed by transcriptomic, genomic, and interaction analyses. The robust SCRD signature for predicting immunotherapy response and prognosis in patients with HCC was developed and validated in multiple independent cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, distinct tumor immune microenvironment patterns were confirmed under SCRD in bulk and single-cell transcriptomic, and SCRD signature associated with clinical outcomes and immunotherapy response was developed and validated in HCC.

A telomere-related gene risk model for predicting prognosis and treatment response in acute myeloid leukemia.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a prevalent hematological malignancy among adults. Recent studies suggest that the length of telomeres could significantly affect both the risk of developing AML and the overall survival (OS). Despite the limited focus on the prognostic value of telomere-related genes (TRGs) in AML, our study aims at addressing this gap by compiling a list of TRGs from TelNet, as well as collecting clinical information and TRGs expression data through the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The GSE37642 dataset, sourced from GEO and based on the GPL96 platform, was divided into training and validation sets at a 6:4 ratio. Additionally, the GSE71014 dataset (based on the GPL10558 platform), GSE12417 dataset (based on the GPL96 and GPL570 platforms), and another portion of the GSE37642 dataset (based on the GPL570 platform) were designated as external testing sets. Univariate Cox regression analysis identified 96 TRGs significantly associated with OS. Subsequent Lasso-Cox stepwise regression analysis pinpointed eight TRGs (MCPH1, SLC25A6, STK19, PSAT1, KCTD15, DNMT3B, PSMD5, and TAF2) exhibiting robust predictive potential for patient survival. Both univariate and multivariate survival analyses unveiled TRG risk scores and age as independent prognostic variables. To refine the accuracy of survival prognosis, we developed both a nomogram integrating clinical parameters and a predictive risk score model based on TRGs. In subsequent investigations, associations were emphasized not solely regarding the TRG risk score and immune infiltration patterns but also concerning the response to immune-checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. In summary, the establishment of a telomere-associated genetic risk model offers a valuable tool for prognosticating AML outcomes, thereby facilitating informed treatment decisions.

Associations between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely related to metabolic syndrome and remains a major global health burden. The increased prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) worldwide has contributed to the rising incidence of NAFLD. It is widely believed that atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is associated with NAFLD. In the past decade, the clinical implications of NAFLD have gone beyond liver-related morbidity and mortality, with a majority of patient deaths attributed to malignancy, coronary heart disease (CHD), and other cardiovascular (CVD) complications. To better define fatty liver disease associated with metabolic disorders, experts proposed a new term in 2020 - metabolic dysfunction associated with fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Along with this new designation, updated diagnostic criteria were introduced, resulting in some differentiation between NAFLD and MAFLD patient populations, although there is overlap. The aim of this review is to explore the relationship between MAFLD and ASCVD based on the new definitions and diagnostic criteria, while briefly discussing potential mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease in patients with MAFLD.

Dimerization and antidepressant recognition at noradrenaline transporter.

The noradrenaline transporter has a pivotal role in regulating neurotransmitter balance and is crucial for normal physiology and neurobiology1. Dysfunction of noradrenaline transporter has been implicated in numerous neuropsychiatric diseases, including depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder2. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of noradrenaline transporter in apo and substrate-bound forms, and as complexes with six antidepressants. The structures reveal a noradrenaline transporter dimer interface that is mediated predominantly by cholesterol and lipid molecules. The substrate noradrenaline binds deep in the central binding pocket, and its amine group interacts with a conserved aspartate residue. Our structures also provide insight into antidepressant recognition and monoamine transporter selectivity. Together, these findings advance our understanding of noradrenaline transporter regulation and inhibition, and provide templates for designing improved antidepressants to treat neuropsychiatric disorders.

Robust Electrostatic-Templated Polymerization for Controllable Synthesis of Stable and Permeable Polyelectrolyte Vesicles.

Polymer vesicles are of profound interest for designing delivery vehicles and nanoreactors toward a variety of biomedical and catalytic applications, yet robust synthesis of stable and permeable vesicles remains challenging. Here, we propose an electrostatic-templated polymerization that enables fabrication of polyelectrolyte vesicles with simultaneously regulated stability and permeability. In our design, cationic monomers were copolymerized with cross-linkers in the presence of a polyanionic-neutral diblock copolymer as a template. By properly choosing the block length ratio of the template, we fabricated a type of polyion complex vesicle consisting of a cross-linked cationic membrane, electrostatically assembled with the template copolymer which can be removed by sequential dissociation and separation under concentrated salt. We finally obtained stable polyelectrolyte vesicles of regulated size, membrane permeability, and response properties by tuning the synthesis factors including ionic strength, cross-linker type, and fraction as well as different monomers and concentrations. As a proof-of-concept, lipase was loaded in the designed cationic vesicles, which exhibited enhanced enzyme stability and activity. Our study has developed a novel and robust strategy for controllable synthesis of a new class of stable and permeable polymer (polyelectrolyte) vesicles that feature great potential applications as functional delivery carriers and nanoreactors.

Mortality outcomes in diabetic metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease: non-obese versus obese individuals.

The difference in the survival of obese patients and normal-weight/lean patients with diabetic MAFLD remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to describe the long-term survival of individuals with diabetic MAFLD and overweight/obesity (OT2M), diabetic MAFLD with lean/normal weight (LT2M), MAFLD with overweight/obesity and without T2DM (OM), and MAFLD with lean/normal weight and without T2DM (LM). Using the NHANESIII database, participants with MAFLD were divided into four groups. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related, and cancer-related mortalities for different MAFLD subtypes were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models. Of the 3539 participants, 1618 participants (42.61%) died during a mean follow-up period of 274.41 ± 2.35 months. LT2M and OT2M had higher risks of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR, 2.14; 95% CI 1.82-2.51; p < 0.0001; adjusted HR, 2.24; 95% CI 1.32-3.81; p = 0.003) and CVD-related mortality (adjusted HR, 3.25; 95% CI 1.72-6.14; p < 0.0001; adjusted HR, 3.36; 95% CI 2.52-4.47; p < 0.0001) than did OM. All-cause and CVD mortality rates in LT2M and OT2M patients were higher than those in OM patients. Patients with concurrent T2DM and MAFLD should be screened, regardless of the presence of obesity.

Hot-Injection Synthesis of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanowires with Tunable Optical Properties.

Metal halide perovskite semiconductors have emerged as promising materials for various optoelectronic applications due to their unique crystal structure and outstanding properties. Among different forms, perovskite nanowires (NWs) offer distinct advantages, including a high aspect ratio, superior crystallinity, excellent light absorption, and carrier transport properties, as well as unique anisotropic luminescence properties. Understanding the formation mechanism and structure-property relationship of perovskite NWs is crucial for exploring their potential in optoelectronic devices. In this study, we successfully synthesized all-inorganic halide perovskite NWs with high aspect ratios and an orthorhombic crystal phase using the hot-injection method with controlled reaction conditions and surface ligands. These NWs exhibit excellent optical and electrical properties. Moreover, precise control over the halogen composition through a simple anion exchange process enables the tuning of the bandgap, leading to fluorescence emission, covering a wide range of colors across the visible spectrum. Consequently, these perovskite NWs hold great potential for efficient energy conversion and catalytic applications in photoelectrocatalysis.

Impact of Carrier Gas Flow Rate on the Synthesis of Monolayer WSe2 via Hydrogen-Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), particularly monolayer TMDs with direct bandgap properties, are key to advancing optoelectronic device technology. WSe2 stands out due to its adjustable carrier transport, making it a prime candidate for optoelectronic applications. This study explores monolayer WSe2 synthesis via H2-assisted CVD, focusing on how carrier gas flow rate affects WSe2 quality. A comprehensive characterization of monolayer WSe2 was conducted using OM (optical microscope), Raman spectroscopy, PL spectroscopy, AFM, SEM, XPS, HRTEM, and XRD. It was found that H2 incorporation and flow rate critically influence WSe2's growth and structural integrity, with low flow rates favoring precursor concentration for product formation and high rates causing disintegration of existing structures. This research accentuates the significance of fine-tuning the carrier gas flow rate for optimizing monolayer WSe2 synthesis, offering insights for fabricating monolayer TMDs like WS2, MoSe2, and MoS2, and facilitating their broader integration into optoelectronic devices.

Two-dimensional hydrophilic imprinted resin-graphene oxide composite for selective extraction and rapid determination of gibberellin traces in licorice samples.

This study presents novel methodologies and materials for selectively and sensitively determining gibberellin traces in licorice to address food safety concerns. A novel hydrophilic imprinted resin-graphene oxide composite (HMIR-GO) was developed with fast mass transfer, high adsorption capacity, and exceptional aqueous recognition performance for gibberellin. Leveraging the advantages of molecular imprinting, hydrophilic resin synthesis, and rapid mass transfer characteristics of GO, HMIR-GO was employed as an adsorbent, showing resistance to matrix interference. Coupled with HPLC, a rapid and selective method for determining gibberellin was established. Under optimal conditions, the method exhibited a wide linear range (0.02-5.00 µg g-1, r = 0.9999), low detection limits (3.3 ng g-1), and satisfactory recoveries (92.0-98.4%), enabling the accurate and rapid detection of gibberellin in licorice. This study introduces a pioneering strategy for the selective extraction and determination of trace gibberellin levels, offering insights for similar applications in functional foods.
