RESUMEN

Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC) is one of the major malignant tumors of the female reproductive system. However, there are limitations in the currently available diagnostic approaches for UCEC. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in regulating biological processes as competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in tumors. To study the potential of lncRNAs as non-invasive diagnostic tumor markers, RNA-sequencing dataset of UCEC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas was used to identify differentially expressed genes. A lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network was constructed by differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs and miRNAs. Pathway enrichment and functional analysis for the mRNAs in the constructed ceRNA network provide the direction of future research for UCEC by demonstrating the most affected processes and pathways. Seven potential lncRNA biomarkers (C20orf56, LOC100144604, LOC100190940, LOC151534, LOC727677, FLJ35390, LOC158572) were validated in UCEC patients by quantitative real-time PCR. Notably, LOC100190940 and LOC158572 were identified as novel RNA molecules with unknown functions. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated that the combined 7 lncRNAs had a high diagnostic value for UCEC patients with area under curve (AUC) of 0.941 (95% CI: 0.875-0.947). Our study highlights the potential of the validated 7 lncRNAs panel as diagnostic biomarkers in UCEC, providing new insights into the UCEC pathogenesis.

RESUMEN

Organic electrode materials with the advantages of renewability, environment-friendliness, low cost, and high capacity have received widespread attention in recent years for sodium-ion batteries. However, small molecular organic materials suffer from issues such as low conductivity and the high dissolution rate in electrolytes. Herein, a phthalocyanine derivative (TPcDS) with a large non-localized π-electron system, obtained through thermodynamic polymerization of 4-aminophthalonitrile (AP) monomers, is designed to address these issues. According to the density function theory calculation, six sodium ions can be attracted by one polymer molecule, indicating a high theoretical capacity of 375 mA h g-1 . The TPcDS molecule realizes sodium storage through a non-localized π-electron system of phthalocyanine macrocycles. When employed as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries, the functional groups of phthalocyanine macrocycles, such as CN groups in TPcDS, experience obviously reversible structural variation upon discharge/charge. A high reversible capacity of 364 mAh g-1 is achieved at a current density of 0.05 A g-1 , and a charge capacity of as high as 246 mAh g-1 is still maintained after 500 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 . This work provides an effective strategy for the design and synthesis of new oligomeric organic electrode materials.

RESUMEN

It is challenging for traditional wound dressings to adapt to the complex and changeable environment, due to the lack of stable, efficient, and continuous bactericidal activity. They also cannot be satisfied in a multifunctional sensing platform to reconstruct skin sensory functions for human health monitoring. A multifunctional hydrogel dressing is developed here for the treatment of infected wounds and human health monitoring, which is based on alginate and polycation. The in situ polymerization and solvent displacement method are used to functionalize the hydrogel for the improvement of antifreezing, water retention, and environmental adaptability, as well as the adhesion and photothermal property. As a wound dressing, the as-prepared hydrogel exhibits an excellent antibacterial property against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In a rat model of full-thickness wound infection, it significantly accelerates the healing of infected wounds with a high healing rate of 96.49%. In the further multifunctional sensory tests, the hydrogel shows multiple response modes of strain, pressure and temperature, and sensing stability. An idea is provided here to develop a smart hydrogel dressing that can accelerate wound healing and achieve human health monitoring.

RESUMEN

In recent years, natural polymer-based electrospun fibers (EFs) with huge specific surface area, good biocompatibility, and biological activity obtained from electrospinning process exhibit tremendous vitality in the field of biomedical areas. Herein, the parameters of electrospinning from two perspectives, polymer solution such as solvent, polymeric relative molecular mass, concentration, viscosity, and conductivity of the solution, and electrospinning process such as spinning voltage, spinning flow rate, needle tip to collector distance, temperature, and humidity are first detailed. Next, the raw materials consisting of polysaccharides such as cellulose, hyaluronic acid, alginate, and chitosan as well as proteins such as collagen, gelatin, silk fibroin, and keratin are summarized. The preparation method and related characteristics of EFs with multistage structures such as porous, core-shell, Janus, bamboo-like and other structures are introduced. The biomedical applications of these natural polymer-based EFs mainly including tissue engineering, drug sustained release, wound dressings, and biomedical sensors are systematically recapitulated. Finally, the outlook on natural EFs is further proposed.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory Myofibroblastoma Tumors (IMTs) are extremely tumour rare in the intraocular. CASE PRESENTATION: A ciliary body tumor was found under slit lamp biomicroscopy in a 55-year-old male first diagnosed with cataract. Then this patient underwent trans-sclera resection via partial lamellar sclerouvectomy and par plans vitrectomy to remove the mass. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry findings showed that the characteristics of the tumor were consistent with IMT. CONCLUSIONS: We reported a rare case of intraocular IMT, which is confirmed by H&E staining, and IHC positive staining for Vimentin, Desmin and ALK, while negative staining for SMA, S-100, ki-67, CK, CD68, and calponin.

RESUMEN

Objective: We describe the clinical manifestations of supra-large range nonperfusion area (SLRNPA) in diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study. A total of 260 eyes of 236 patients with DR who underwent pars plana vitrectomy in the Department of Ophthalmology of Qingdao Municipal Hospital from February 2016 to June 2019 were enrolled. Fundus fluorescein angiography was performed after surgery to determine whether SLRNPA or non-SLRNPA in DR was present. All demographic and clinical data were carefully collected. Results: Forty-one eyes of 22 patients were diagnosed with SLRNPA in DR (15.77% of all eyes). Compared to non-SLRNPA, SLRNPA patients were more likely to be male and younger with earlier DR onset, a smoking history, other comorbidities, and a higher HbA1c level. SLRNPA in DR eyes exhibited more neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and diabetic keratopathy (DK) than did other eyes. Such eyes were more likely to require anti-VEGF therapy before surgery or a silicone oil or a gas tamponade during surgery and to suffer from persistent corneal epithelial erosion and NVG recurrence after surgery. Conclusions: SLRNPA in DR is a severe status of DR. Treatment for DR patients with SLRNPA is difficult, and the prognosis is poor, so clinicians must thus pay more attention to SLRNPA in DR.

RESUMEN

This paper proposes an accommodative intraocular lens (IOL), which consists of a two-element Alvarez lens and an aspheric lens for changing focal power and refractive power, respectively. The four-freeform-surface Alvarez lens is optimized for a multiple field of view; further, the aspheric lens also corrects the aberrations induced by the corneal asphericity of the human eye over the whole range of accommodation. A simulation using optical design software demonstrates its excellent performance in that the values of the modulation transfer function at 100 cycles/mm all reach ∼0.4 with a ±5° field of view for 3 and 5 mm pupils.

RESUMEN

This paper describes a new type of multifacet echelle grating (MFEG) for use in an echelle spectrometer. This new type of echelle grating broadens the spectral distribution on the spectral plane. We built a geometric model of MFEG to analyze the influence of the blaze angle and number of facet shapes on the spectral evolution. A dual-facet echelle grating and a four-facet echelle grating with different parameters were fabricated by rotating ion-beam etching with a self-shadowing rotating mask, based on the existing single-facet echelle grating (SFEG) with a line density of 52.7 g/mm and a blaze angle of 63.5°. The distributions of diffraction efficiency for different orders were measured with a He-Ne laser (632.8 nm); furthermore, these echelle gratings were applied in an echelle spectrometer (ICP-OES, Plasma2000), and testing spectra were obtained. The experimental results demonstrate that the MFEG can broaden the intensity distribution on the spectral plane, overcoming the weak spectral margin signal of SFEG spectrometers.

RESUMEN

The pulsed electric fields (PEF) treatment is a novel method for obtaining glycated proteins by way of a Maillard reaction between proteins and polysaccharides but its effect on the preparation of protein-monosaccharide conjugate has not been explored. This study aimed to prepare bovine serum albumin (BSA)-glucose and BSA-mannose conjugates using PEF in pH 10.0 at an intensity of 10 or 20 kV/cm, frequency of 1 kHz, pulse width of 20 µs and 73.5 pulses. The conjugates were evaluated for physicochemical properties. The results indicated that PEF not only promoted Maillard reaction between BSA and glucose or mannose but also alleviated the undesirable browning. PEF treatment favored the increased surface hydrophobicity and emulsifying activity in BSA but reduced surface hydrophobicity and foaming stability and improved foaming capacity in BSA-glucose and BSA-mannose conjugates. These findings provided useful considerations in the application of PEF treatment as a potential method to prepare BSA-monosaccharide conjugates by Maillard reaction.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of left ventricular hypertrophy and deformation on cardiac function in patients with uremic cardiomyopathy (UCM) by using the technology of two dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI).
 Methods: A total of 67 UCM patients were randomly divided into the normal cardiac function group (subgroup A, 32 cases) and the abnormal cardiac function group (subgroup B, 35 cases) according to the New York Heart Association points (NYHA-P). A total of 30 healthy subjetcs served as the control group. Parameters including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular spherical index (LVSI), left ventricular myocardial mean radial strain (MRS), mean radial strain rate (MRSR), mean longitudinal strain (MLS), local systolic twist angle (STA), and mitral annulus maximum displacement (TMAD) were detected.
 Results: MLS, MRS, MRSR, LVSI, STA and TMAD in the Group A and Group B were lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and LVMI in the Group A and Group B was increased than those in the control group (P<0.05); LVEF, MLS, MRS, MRSR, LVSI and STA in the Group B was decreased than that in the Group A (P<0.05). MLS in the Group A and B were positively correlated with LVEF and LVSI, but negatively correlated with LVMI. Using the point of 14.10% for MLS to evaluate UCM patients with NYHA-P>4 points, the sensitivity, the specificity and Yuedden index were 90.5%, 71% and 0.585, respectively. STA in UCM patients were lower than that in the control (P<0.05).
 Conclusion: 2D-STI possesses a unique advantage in detecting left ventricular strain and strain rate on left ventricular regional function in UCM with left ventricular hypertrophy and ventricular deformation. There is no direct correlation between the left ventricular hypertrophy and ventricular deformation, but the ventricular hypertrophy and deformation are correlated with regional cardiac function and clinical cardiac function. Left ventricular regional dysfunction may occur before cardiac hypertrophy and deformation.

RESUMEN

Management of diabetic wounds presents a global health challenge due to elevated levels of ROS in the wound microenvironment, persistent dysregulation of inflammation modulation, and limitations in commercially available dressings. Addressing this issue, we have developed a pH-responsive and glucose-sensitive multifunctional hydrogel dressing that dynamically responds to the wound microenvironment and enables on-demand drug release. The dressing incorporates a matrix material based on aminophenylboronic acid-functionalized alginate and a polyhydroxy polymer, alongside an enhancer phase consisting of self-assembled metal-phenol coordination nanospheres formed by tannic acid and iron ions. Using the dynamic borate ester bonds and catechol-metal ion coordination bonds, the dressing exhibits remarkable shape adaptability, self-healing capability, tissue adhesiveness, antioxidant activity, and photothermal responsiveness, without additional curatives or crosslinking agents. As a wound dressing, it elicits macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype while maintaining long-lasting antimicrobial effects. In a diabetic mouse model of full-thickness wound infections, it effectively mitigated inflammation and vascular damage, significantly expediting the wound healing process with a commendable 97.7% wound closure rate. This work provides a new direction for developing multifunctional smart hydrogel dressings that can accelerate diabetic wound healing for human health.

RESUMEN

The modulus of traditional biomedical hydrogels increases exponentially meditated by dehydration-stiffing mechanism, which leads to the failure of interface matching between hydrogels and soft tissue wounds. It is found in the study that the dual-solvent gels exhibit dehydration-toughening mechanism with the slowly increasing modulus that are always match the soft tissue wounds. Therefore, dual-solvent glycerol hydrogels (GCFen-gly DGHs) are prepared with hydrophobically modified catechol chitosan (hmCSC) and gelatin based on the supramolecular interactions. GCFen-gly DGHs exhibit excellent water retention capacity with a total solvent content exceeding 80%, permanent skin-like modulus within a range of 0.45 to 4.13 kPa, and stable photothermal antibacterial abilities against S, aureus, E. coli, as well as MRSA. Infectious full-thickness rat skin defect model and tissue section analysis indicate that GCFen-gly DGHs are able to accelerate infectious wound healing by alleviating the inflammatory response, promoting granulation tissue growth, re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and vascular regeneration. As a result, GCFen-gly DGHs is expected to become the next-generation biological gel materials for infectious wound treatment.

RESUMEN

The epidermis of a deep burn wound is entirely absent and the dermal tissue sustains significant damage, accompanied by a substantial amount of tissue exudate. Due to the excessively humid environment, the formation of a scab on the wound becomes challenging, leaving it highly vulnerable to external bacterial invasion. In this work, a core-shell dual-drug-loaded nanofiber dressing was prepared by electrospinning technology for the synergistic treatment of a deep burn. The shell layer consists of polycaprolactone and chitosan encapsulating asiaticoside, with the core layer comprising the clathrate of 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin and curcumin. Upon application to the wound, the dual-drug-loaded nanofiber dressing exhibited rapid release of asiaticoside, stimulating collagen deposition and promoting tissue repair. The core-shell structure and clathrate configuration ensured sustained release of curcumin, providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory functions for the wound. The mechanical strength, broad-spectrum antibacterial ability, cell proliferation, and adhesion ability of the nanofiber dressing showed its potential as a medical dressing. This dressing also exhibited excellent wound healing promoting effects in the SD rat burn model. This paper provides a strategy for burn wound healing.

RESUMEN

Bacterial invasion hinders the healing process of wound, leading to the formation of chronic infected wound; meanwhile, the misuse of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence of numerous drug-resistant bacteria. The application of conventional antimicrobial methods and wound treatment techniques is not appropriate for wound dressings. In this paper, quaternized poly(vinyl alcohol) (QPVA) and pomegranate-like copper uniformly doped polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@Cu) were introduced into a gelatin-oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose system to form a multicomponent synergistic antibacterial hydrogel (GOQ3P3). Polydopamine improves the biocompatibility and prevents the detachment of Cu nanoparticles. It can achieve synergistic antibacterial effects through quaternary ammonium salt-inorganic nanoparticle photothermal treatment under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. It exhibits highly efficient and rapid bactericidal properties against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) with an antibacterial rate close to 100%. The gel scaffold composed of macromolecules gives the hydrogel excellent mechanical properties, adhesive capabilities, self-healing characteristics, biocompatibility, and pH degradation and promotes cell adhesion and migration. In a full-thickness wound healing model infected with MRSA, GOQ3P3 controls inflammatory responses, accelerates collagen deposition, promotes angiogenesis, and enhances wound closure in the wound healing cascade reaction. This study provides a feasible strategy for constructing dressings targeting chronic infection wounds caused by drug-resistant bacteria.

RESUMEN

Background: To investigate the diagnostic value of shear wave elastography (SWE) and super microvascular imaging (SMI) integrated with the traditional ultrasound breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) classification in differentiating between benign and malignant breast nodules. Methods: For analysis, 88 patients with 110 breast nodules assessed as BI-RADS 3-5 by conventional ultrasound were selected. SWE and SMI evaluations were conducted separately, and all nodules were verified as benign or malignant ones by pathology. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted after obtaining quantitative parameters of different shear waves of nodules, including maximum (Emax), mean (Emean), minimum (Emin) Young's modulus, modulus standard deviation (SD), and modulus ratio (Eratio). The best cut-off value, specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) for diagnosing malignant nodules employing Emax were obtained, and the diagnostic value of combining Emax and BI-RADS classification was compared. SMI graded nodule based on the Alder blood flow grading standard, whereas the BI-RADS classification was based on microvascular morphology. We assessed the diagnostic value of SMI for breast nodules and investigated the diagnostic efficacy of SWE combined with SMI in differentiating benign and malignant breast nodules with BI-RADS classification 3-5. Results: The adjusted the BI-RADS classification using SMI and SWE technologies promoted the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of discriminating benign and malignant breast nodules (P < 0.05). The combination of traditional ultrasound BI-RADS classification with SWE and SMI technologies offered high sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, and NPV for identifying benign and malignant breast lesions. Moreover, combining SWE and SMI technologies with the adjusted BI-RADS classificationhad the best diagnostic efficacy for distinguishing benign and malignant breast nodules with BI-RADS 3-5. Conclusion: The combination of SWE and SMI with the adjusted BI-RADS classification is a promising diagnostic method for differentiating benign and malignant breast nodules.

RESUMEN

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with well-defined porous structures and highly active frameworks are considered as promising electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the structure pulverization upon sodiation/desodiation impacts on their practical application in SIBs. To address this issue, poly(p-phenylenediamine) (PPA) was uniformly coated onto the surface of MIL-88A, a typical Fe-based MOF through in situ polymerization initiated by the metal ions (Fe3+) of MIL-88A. Used as an anode material for SIBs, the PPA-coated MIL-88A, denoted as PPA@MIL-88A, showed significantly improved electrochemical performance. A reversible capacity as high as 230 mAh g-1 was achieved at 0.2 A g-1 even after 500 cycles. MIL-88A constructed with electrochemically active Fe3+ and fumaric acid ligands guarantees the high specific capacity, while the PPA polymer coating effectively inhibits the pulverization of MIL-88A. This work provides an efficient strategy for improving the structure and cycling stability of MOFs-based electrode materials.

RESUMEN

Natural bone is a composite tissue made of organic and inorganic components, showing piezoelectricity. Whitlockite (WH), which is a natural magnesium-containing calcium phosphate, has attracted great attention in bone formation recently due to its unique piezoelectric property after sintering treatment and sustained release of magnesium ion (Mg2+). Herein, a composite scaffold (denoted as PWH scaffold) composed of piezoelectric WH (PWH) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was 3D printed to meet the physiological demands for the regeneration of neuro-vascularized bone tissue, namely, providing endogenous electric field at the defect site. The sustained release of Mg2+ from the PWH scaffold, displaying multiple biological activities, and thus exhibits a strong synergistic effect with the piezoelectricity on inhibiting osteoclast activation, promoting the neurogenic, angiogenic, and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) in vitro. In a rat calvarial defect model, this PWH scaffold is remarkably conducive to efficient neo-bone formation with rich neurogenic and angiogenic expressions. Overall, this study presents the first example of biomimetic piezoelectric scaffold with sustained Mg2+ release for promoting the regeneration of neuro-vascularized bone tissue in vivo, which offers new insights for regenerative medicine.

RESUMEN

Perovskite quantum dots (QDs), emerging with excellent bright-green photoluminescence (PL) and a large absorption coefficient, are of great potential for the fabrication of light sources in underwater optical wireless communication systems. However, the instability caused by low formation energy and abundant surface traps is still a major concern for perovskite-based light sources in underwater conditions. Herein, we propose ultra-stable zero dimensional-two dimensional (0D-2D) CsPbBr3 QD/1,4-bis(4-methylstyryl)benzene (p-MSB) nanoplate (NP) heterostructures synthesized via a facile approach at room temperature in air. CsPbBr3 QDs can naturally nucleate on the p-MSB NP toluene solution, and the radiative combination is drastically intensified owing to the electron transfer within the typical type-II heterostructures, leading to a sharply increased PLQY of the heterostructure thin films up to 200% compared with the pristine sample. The passivation of defects within CsPbBr3 QDs can be effectively realized with the existence of p-MSB NPs, and thus the obviously improved PL is steadily witnessed in an ambient atmosphere and thermal environment. Meanwhile, the enhanced humidity stability and a peak EQE of 9.67% suggests a synergetic strategy for concurrently addressing the knotty problems on unsatisfied luminous efficiency and stability of perovskites for high-performance green-emitting optoelectronic devices in underwater applications.

RESUMEN

Plasmonic nanostructures with ultranarrow linewidths are of great significance in numerous applications, such as optical sensing, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and imaging. The traditional plasmonic nanostructures generally consist of gold and silver materials, which are unavailable in the ultraviolet (UV) or deep-ultraviolet (DUV) regions. However, electronic absorption bands of many important biomolecules are mostly located in the UV or DUV regions. Therefore, researchers are eager to realize ultranarrow linewidth of plasmonic nanostructures in these regions. Aluminum (Al) plasmonic nanostructures are potential candidates for realizing the ultranarrow linewidth from the DUV to the near-infrared (NIR) regions. Nevertheless, realizing ultranarrow linewidth below 5 nm remains a challenge in the UV or DUV regions for Al plasmonic nanostructures. In this study, we theoretically designed low-symmetry an Al nanoellipse metasurface on the Al substrate. An ultranarrow linewidth of 1.9 nm has been successfully obtained in the near-UV region (400 nm). Additionally, the ultranarrow linewidth has been successfully modulated to the DUV region by adjusting structural parameters. This work aims to provide a theoretical basis and prediction for the applications, such as UV sensing and UV-SERS.
