σ-Hole Effect-Induced Electroluminescence of Halogen Cocrystals for Determination of Iodide in Seawater.

Developing new electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminators with high stability, wide applicability, and strong designability is of great strategic significance to promote the ECL field to the frontier. Here, driven by the I···N bond, 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene (TFTI) and 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine (TMT) self-assembled into a novel halogen cocrystal (TFTI-TMT) through slow solution volatilization. Significant difference of charge density existed between the N atoms on TMT and the σ-hole of the I atoms on TFTI. Upon the induction of σ-hole effect, high-speed and spontaneous charge transferring from TMT to the σ-hole of TFTI occurred, stimulating exciting ECL signals. Besides, the σ-hole of the I atoms could capture iodine ions specifically, which blocked the original charge transfer from the N atoms to the σ-hole, causing the ECL signal of TFTI-TMT to undergo a quenching rate as high as 92.9%. Excitingly, the ECL sensing of TFTI-TMT toward I- possessed a wide linear range (10-5000 nM) and ultralow detection limit (3 nM) in a real water sample. The halogen cocrystal strategy makes σ-hole a remarkable new viewpoint of ECL luminator design and enables ECL analysis technology to contribute to addressing the environmental and health threats posed by iodide pollution.

Efficient Blue Photo- and Electroluminescence from CF3-Decorated Cu(I) Complexes.

Luminescent organometallic complexes of earth-abundant copper(I) have long been studied in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). Particularly, Cu(I)-based carbene-metal-amide (CMA) complexes have recently emerged as promising organometallic emitters. However, blue-emitting Cu(I) CMA complexes have been rarely reported. Here we constructed two blue-emitting Cu(I) CMA emitters, MAC*-Cu-CF3Cz and MAC*-Cu-2CF3Cz, by introducing one or two CF3 substitutes into carbazole ligands. Both complexes exhibited high thermal stability and blue emission colors. Moreover, two complexes exhibited different emission origins rooting from different donor ligands: a distinct thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) from ligand-to-ligand charge transfer excited states for MAC*-Cu-CF3Cz or a dominant phosphorescence nature from local triplet excited state of the carbazole ligand for MAC*-Cu-2CF3Cz. Inspiringly, MAC*-Cu-CF3Cz had high photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 94 % and short emission lifetimes of down to 1.2 µs in doped films, accompanied by relatively high radiative rates in the 105 s-1 order. The resultant vacuum-deposited OLEDs based on MAC*-Cu-CF3Cz delivered pure-blue electroluminescence at 462 nm together with a high external quantum efficiency of 13.0 %.

Dysregulation of AMPK-mTOR signaling leads to comorbid anxiety in Dip2a KO mice.

Autism is often comorbid with other psychiatric disorders. We have previously shown that Dip2a knockout (KO) induces autism-like behaviors in mice. However, the role of Dip2a in other psychiatric disorders remains unclear. In this paper, we revealed that Dip2a KO mice had comorbid anxiety. Dip2a KO led to a reduction in the dendritic length of cortical and hippocampal excitatory neurons. Molecular mechanism studies suggested that AMPK was overactivated and suppressed the mTOR cascade, contributing to defects in dendritic morphology. Deletion of Dip2a in adult-born hippocampal neurons (Dip2a conditional knockout (cKO)) increased susceptibility to anxiety upon acute stress exposure. Application of (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine (HNK), an inhibitor of mTOR, rescued anxiety-like behaviors in Dip2a KO and Dip2a cKO mice. In addition, 6 weeks of high-fat diet intake alleviated AMPK-mTOR signaling and attenuated the severity of anxiety in both Dip2a KO mice and Dip2a cKO mice. Taken together, these results reveal an unrecognized function of DIP2A in anxiety pathophysiology via regulation of AMPK-mTOR signaling.

Through-Space Charge-Transfer Organogold(III) Complexes Enable High-Performance X-ray Scintillation and Imaging.

Organic scintillators have recently attracted growing attention for X-ray detection in industrial and medical applications. However, these materials still face critical obstacles of low attenuation efficiency and/or inefficient triplet exciton utilization. Here we developed a new category of organogold(III) complexes, Tp-Au-1 and Tp-Au-2, through adopting a through-space interaction motif to realize high X-ray attenuation efficiency and efficient harvesting of triplet excitons for emission. Thanks to the efficient through-space charge transfer process, this panel of complexes achieved higher photoluminescence quantum yield and shorter radiative lifetimes compared with the through-bond reference complexes. Inspiringly, these organogold(III) complexes exhibited polarity-dependent emission origins: thermally activated delayed fluorescence and/or phosphorescence. Under X-ray irradiation, Tp-Au-2 manifested intense radioluminescence together with a record-high scintillation light yield of 77,600 photons MeV-1 for organic scintillators. The resulting scintillator screens demonstrated high-quality X-ray imaging with >16.0 line pairs mm-1 spatial resolution, outstripping most organic and inorganic scintillators. This finding provides a feasible strategy for the design of superior organic X-ray scintillators.

In Situ Electrochemical Interfacial Polymerization for Covalent Organic Frameworks with Tunable Electrochromism.

A rapid in situ synthesis of electrochromic covalent organic frameworks (EC-COFs) was proposed by using green electrochemical interface polymerization of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)-1,4-benzenediamine (TPDA) and 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde (DHBD). The synthetized TPDA-DHBD films exhibit stable polymorphic color variations under different applied potentials, which can be attributed to the redox state changes of bis(triphenylamine) and imine electroactive functional groups within the COFs skeleton. TPDA-DHBD represents markedly different electrochromisms from red to cyan due to the steric hindrance effect caused by the presence of UO2 2+, demonstrating the unique tunability of COFs materials. This work offers a new feasible idea for rapid EC-COFs synthesis and tunable EC-COFs realization.

Molecular Insertion: A Master Key to Unlock Smart Photoelectric Responses of Covalent Organic Frameworks.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) show potentials in prominent photoelectric responses by judicious structural design. However, from the selections of monomers and condensation reactions to the synthesis procedures, the acquisition of photoelectric COFs has to meet overmuch high conditions, limiting the breakthrough and modulation in photoelectric responses. Herein, the study reports a creative "lock-key model" based on molecular insertion strategy. A COF with suitable cavity size, TP-TBDA, is used as the host to load guests. Merely through the volatilization of mixed solution, TP-TBDA and guests can be spontaneously assembled via non-covalent interactions (NCIs) to produce molecular-inserted COFs (MI-COFs). The NCIs between TP-TBDA and guests acted as a bridge to facilitate charge transfer in MI-COFs, unlocking the photoelectric responses of TP-TBDA. By exploiting the controllability of NCIs, the MI-COFs can realize the smart modulation of photoelectric responses by simply changing the guest molecule, thus avoiding the arduous selection of monomers and condensation reactions required by conventional COFs. The construction of molecular-inserted COFs circumvents complicated procedures for achieving performance improvement and modulation, providing a promising direction to construct late-model photoelectric responsive materials.

A Rising Star: Luminescent Carbene-Metal-Amide Complexes.

Coinage metal (gold, silver, and copper) complexes are attractive candidates to substitute the widely studied noble metal complexes, such as, iridium(III) and platinum(II), as luminescent materials in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the development of coinage metal complexes exhibiting high emission quantum yields and short exciton lifetimes is still a formidable challenge. In the past few years, coinage metal complexes featuring a carbene-metal-amide (CMA) motif have emerged as a new class of luminescent materials in OLEDs. Thanks to the coinage metal-bridged linear geometry, coplanar conformation, and the formation of excited states with dominant ligand-to-ligand charge transfer character and reduced metal d-orbital participation, most CMA complexes have high radiative rates via thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Currently, the family of CMA complexes have rapidly evolved and remarkable progresses in CMA-based OLEDs have been made. Here, a Concept article on CMA complexes is presented, with a focus on molecular design principles, the correlation between molecular structure/conformation and optoelectronic properties, as well as OLED performance. The future prospects of CMA complexes are also discussed.

Antagonistic Activity and Mechanism of Bacillus subtilis XZ16-1 Suppression of Wheat Powdery Mildew and Growth Promotion of Wheat.

Wheat powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) is one of the most serious wheat diseases in the world. Biological control is considered an environmentally safe approach to control plant diseases. Here, to develop effective biocontrol agents for controlling wheat powdery mildew, antagonistic strain XZ16-1 was isolated and identified as Bacillus subtilis based on the morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics and 16S rDNA sequence. The culture filtrate of B. subtilis XZ16-1 and its extracts had a significant inhibitory effect on the spore germination of Bgt. Moreover, the therapeutic and prevention efficacy of the 100% culture filtrate on wheat powdery mildew reached 81.18 and 83.72%, respectively, which was better than that of chemical fungicide triadimefon. Further antimicrobial mechanism analysis showed that the XZ16-1 culture filtrate could inhibit the development of powdery mildew spores by disrupting the cell membrane integrity, causing reductions in the mitochondrial membrane potential, and inducing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the spores. Biochemical detection indicated that XZ16-1 could solubilize phosphate, fix nitrogen, and produce hydrolases, lipopeptides, siderophores, and indole-3-acetic acid. Defense-related enzymes activated in wheat seedlings treated with the culture filtrate indicated that disease resistance was induced in wheat to resist pathogens. Furthermore, a 106 CFU/ml suspension of XZ16-1 increased the height, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight of wheat seedlings by 77.13, 63.46, 76.73, and 19.16%, respectively, and showed good growth-promotion properties. This study investigates the antagonistic activity and reveals the action mechanism of XZ16-1, which can provide an effective microbial agent for controlling wheat powdery mildew.

Aggregation-Dependent Circularly Polarized Luminescence and Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence from Chiral Carbene-CuI -Amide Enantiomers.

The field of luminescent carbene-metal-amide (CMA) complexes and chiroptical-active materials has been blossoming in recent years, although chiroptical-active CMA complexes have not been reported so far. For the first time, a pair of chiral CuI -based CMA enantiomers, (R,R)-PSIPr*-Cu-DMAC and (S,S)-PSIPr*-Cu-DMAC, have been developed by using chiral phenyl-substituted N-heterocyclic carbenes as acceptor ligands in the CMA motif. The CuI -based CMA enantiomers exhibited aggregation-induced circularly polarized luminescence with a large luminescence dissymmetry factor of up to +0.027, the first reported for CMA complexes. This success originates from the limited ligand-ligand rotation freedom and asymmetrical packing pattern (helical structure) of the CMA enantiomers in the crystals. Moreover, these CuI enantiomers displayed inspiring aggregation-dependent thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties. These findings bring new insights into the optical properties of chiral CMA complexes from the perspective of aggregation states.

Achieving 37.1% Green Electroluminescent Efficiency and 0.09 eV Full Width at Half Maximum Based on a Ternary Boron-Oxygen-Nitrogen Embedded Polycyclic Aromatic System.

Herein, a ternary boron-oxygen-nitrogen embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF), namely DBNO, is developed by adopting the para boron-π-boron and para oxygen-π-oxygen strategy. The designed molecule presents a vivid green emission with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (96 %) and an extremely narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 19 nm/0.09 eV, which surpasses all previously reported green TADF emitters to date. In addition, the long molecular structure along the transition dipole moment direction endows it with a high horizontal emitting dipole ratio of 96 %. The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based on DBNO reveals a narrowband green emission with a peak at 504 nm and a FWHM of 24 nm/0.12 eV. Particularly, a significantly improved device performance is achieved by the TADF-sensitization (hyperfluorescence) mechanism, presenting a FWHM of 27 nm and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 37.1 %.

Chiral Multi-Resonance TADF Emitters Exhibiting Narrowband Circularly Polarized Electroluminescence with an EQE of 37.2 .

Highly efficient circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) emitters with narrowband emission remain a formidable challenge for circularly polarized OLEDs (CP-OLEDs). Here, a promising strategy for developing chiral emitters concurrently featuring multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) and circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) is demonstrated by the integration of molecular rigidity, central chirality and MR effect. A pair of chiral green emitters denoted as (R)-BN-MeIAc and (S)-BN-MeIAc is designed. Benefited by the rigid and quasi-planar MR-framework, the enantiomers not only display mirror-image CPL spectra, but also exhibit TADF properties with a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 96 %, a narrow FWHM of 30 nm, and a high horizontal dipole orientation of 90 % in the doped film. Consequently, the enantiomer-based CP-OLEDs achieved excellent external quantum efficiencies of 37.2 % with very low efficiency roll-off, representing the highest device efficiency of all the reported CP-OLEDs.

Efficient Red Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters Based on a Dibenzonitrile-Substituted Dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine Acceptor.

How to construct efficient red-emitting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials is a challenging task in the field of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Herein, an electron acceptor moiety, 3,6-DCNB-DPPZ, with high rigidity and strong acceptor strength was designed by introducing two cyanobenzene groups into the 3,6-positions of a dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine unit. A red-emitting compound, 3,6_R, has been designed and synthesized by combining the rigid acceptor unit with two triphenylamine donors. Due to high molecular rigidity and strong intramolecular charge transfer characteristic in donor-acceptor-donor skeleton, 3,6_R exhibited a red emission with a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 86% and distinct TADF nature with short delayed fluorescence lifetime of about 1 microsecond. Accordingly, the OLED using 3,6_R as the guest emitter gained a high external quantum efficiency of 12.0% in the red region with an electroluminescence peak of 619 nm and favorable Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of (0.62, 0.38).

Luminescent carbene-copper(i)-amide polymers for efficient host-free solution-processed OLEDs.

Luminescent metallopolymers have attracted broad interest in the fields of healthcare and organic electronics. However, polymeric emitters based on earth-abundant metal complexes are scarce. Here, two series of Cu(i) polymers, PMAC-x and PCAAC-x (x = 1-3) have been developed using two kinds of Cu(i)-based carbene-metal-amide (CMA) complexes as side-chain emitter units to combine with a nonconjugated polystyrene backbone. These Cu(i) polymers emit via distinct thermally activated delayed fluorescence or dominant phosphorescence, inherited from the grafted Cu(i)-based CMA units. Particularly, the PMAC-x polymers exhibit high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies of up to 0.78, short emission lifetimes of down to 0.66 µs, and fast radiative rates of up to 106 s-1 in neat films. Thanks to the good encapsulation effect of the polystyrene backbone, these Cu(i) polymers not only demonstrate favorable moisture stability but also show significant aggregation-induced emission. The resultant host-free solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) achieve outstanding electroluminescence performance with a record external quantum efficiency of 13.8% at a practical luminance of ∼100 nits, representing state-of-the-art device efficiency for metallopolymer-based OLEDs. This work not only presents the first example of CMA polymers but also provides the future direction of polymeric emitters from earth-abundant metal complexes for the OLED application.

Deciphering the environmental chemical basis of muscle quality decline by interpretable machine learning models.

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is known as a decline in skeletal muscle quality and function that is associated with age. Sarcopenia is linked to diverse health problems, including endocrine-related diseases. Environmental chemicals (ECs), a broad class of chemicals released from industry, may influence muscle quality decline. OBJECTIVES: In this work, we aimed to simultaneously elucidate the associations between muscle quality decline and diverse EC exposures based on the data from the 2011-2012 and 2013-2014 survey cycles in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) project using machine learning models. METHODS: Six machine learning models were trained based on the EC and non-EC exposures from NHANES to distinguish low from normal muscle quality index status. Different machine learning metrics were evaluated for these models. The Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) approach was used to provide explainability for machine learning models. RESULTS: Random forest (RF) performed best on the independent testing data set. Based on the testing data set, ECs can independently predict the binary muscle quality status with good performance by RF (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.793; area under the precision-recall curve = 0.808). The SHAP ranked the importance of ECs for the RF model. As a result, several metals and chemicals in urine, including 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and cobalt, were more associated with the muscle quality decline. CONCLUSIONS: Altogether, our analyses suggest that ECs can independently predict muscle quality decline with a good performance by RF, and the SHAP-identified ECs can be closely related to muscle quality decline and sarcopenia. Our analyses may provide valuable insights into ECs that may be the important basis of sarcopenia and endocrine-related diseases in United States populations.

Physicochemical and digestive properties of curcumin stabilized by quaternized chitosan/sodium alginate nanoemulsion coatings.

Curcumin (Cur) is a bioactive substance, but its instability limits its use in the food system. Thus, a new polysaccharide-based coating is developed by combining quaternized chitosan (QCS) with sodium alginate (SA) in this study to improve the bioaccessibility and stability of Cur. The microstructure of the emulsion was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and low-field pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (LF-NMR). The thermal, ionic strength, and pH stability of emulsions were measured. Results indicate that QCS/SA (1:1)-Cur is more stable than other three nanoemulsion systems and the encapsulation rate of which reaches 90.62 %. It also shows higher stability in gastric fluid, excellent bioaccessibility and FFAs in intestinal fluid, as well as significant antibacterial property, antioxidant activity and water dispersibility. This study introduces a new method for obtaining stable, functional Cur-coated systems for food applications.

Oregano essential oil encapsulated in zein-pectin-chitosan nanoparticles to improve the storage quality of Harbin red sausage.

In this study, the effect of oregano essential oil loaded in zein-pectin-chitosan (Zein-PC-CS-OEO) nanoparticles on the quality of Harbin red sausage during storage was examined. Zein-PC-CS-OEO nanoparticles exhibit the better encapsulation efficiency, antioxidant and antibacterial properties than these of other prepared nanoparticles, which were subsequently incorporated into Harbin red sausage with different concentrations. The physicochemical properties, bacterial community structure, and flavor characteristics of the Harbin red sausage were determined. Both thiobarbituric acid values and the growth of dominant spoilage bacteria in Harbin red sausage are inhibited by Zein-PC-CS-OEO nanoparticles, while the total aerobic bacteria count is reduced. These results indicate that the storage quality of Harbin red sausage is improved by Zein-PC-CS-OEO nanoparticles. It is worth noting that the shelf life of Harbin red sausage supplemented with 0.1 % Zein-PC-CS-OEO nanoparticles is extended to 9 d, and the flavor characteristics of which are better maintained. This study provides a new approach to extend the application of essential oil and improve the storage quality of Harbin red sausage.

Improving the storage quality of Harbin red sausages by quaternized chitosan/sodium alginate coating curcumin nano-emulsion.

In this study, the effect of sodium alginate and quaternized chitosan bis-polysaccharide-based shell transport curcumin nano-emulsions (Cur@QCS/SA) on the microbiological, physicochemical properties, quality characteristics of Harbin red sausage during storage is investigated. According to the microbiological results, the shelf life of Harbin red sausage is extended from 3 d to 6 d by adding 0.15% Cur@QCS/SA, and Bacillus is the most predominant bacterial before 6 d. Additionally, the physicochemical properties change significantly, the pH, weight loss (WL), water holding capacity (WHC), water activity (aw), L*, and a* of red sausage decrease gradually with the extension of storage time, as well as b*, lipid oxidation, proteolysis increase significantly (P < 0.05). Secondly, it is found that 0.15% treatment group can better maintain the quality characteristics of Harbin red sausage according to texture profile analysis (TPA), electronic nose (E-nose), and electronic tongue (E-tongue) (P < 0.05). This study provides a new way for nano-emulsions in food applications and a new option for the preservation of Harbin red sausage as well as other low-temperature meat products.

Identification and functional validation of P450 genes associated with pyrethroid resistance in the malaria vector Anopheles sinensis (Diptera Culicidae).

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s), a multifunctional protein superfamily, are one of three major classes of detoxification enzymes. However, the diversity and functions of P450 genes from pyrethroid-resistant populations of Anopheles sinensis have not been fully explored. In this study, P450 genes associated with pyrethroid resistance were systematically screened using RNA-seq in three field pyrethroid-resistant populations (AH-FR, CQ-FR, YN-FR) and one laboratory resistant strain (WX-LR) at developmental stages, tissues, and post blood-meal in comparison to the laboratory susceptible strain (WX-LS) in An. sinensis. Importantly, the expression of significantly upregulated P450s was verified using RT-qPCR, and the function of selected P450s in pyrethroid detoxification was determined with RNA interference using four laboratory pyrethroid-resistant strains (WX-LR, AH-LR, CQ-LR, YN-LR). Sixteen P450 genes were significantly upregulated in at least one field-resistant population, and 44 were significantly upregulated in different developmental stages, tissues or post blood-meal. A total of 19 P450s were selected to verify their association with pyrethroid resistance, and four of them (AsCYP6P3v1, AsCYP6P3v2, AsCYP9J10, and AsCYP9K1) demonstrated significant upregulation in laboratory pyrethroid-resistant strains using RT-qPCR. Knockdown of these four genes all significantly reduced pyrethroid resistance and increased the mortality by 57.19% (AsCYP6P3v1 and AsCYP6P3v2 knockdown group), 38.39% (AsCYP9K1 knockdown group) and 48.87% (AsCYP9J10 knockdown group) in An. sinensis by RNAi, which determined the pyrethroid detoxification function of these four genes. This study revealed the diversity of P450 genes and provided functional evidence for four P450s in pyrethroid detoxification in An. sinensis for the first time, which increases our understanding of the pyrethroid resistance mechanism, and is of potential value for pyrethroid resistance detection and surveillance.

EPRIM: An approach of identifying cancer immune-related epigenetic regulators.

Epigenetic regulation contributes to the dysregulation of gene expression involved in cancer biology. Nevertheless, the roles of epigenetic regulators (ERs) in tumor immunity and immune response remain basically unclear. Here, we developed the epigenetic regulator in immunology (EPRIM) approach to identify immune-related ERs and comprehensively dissected the ER regulation in tumor immune response across 33 cancers. The identified immune-related ERs were related to immune infiltration and could stratify cancer patients into two risk groups in multiple independent datasets. These patient groups were characterized by distinct immune functions, immune infiltrates, driver gene mutations, and prognoses. Furthermore, we constructed an immune ER-based signature and highlighted its potential utility in predicting clinical benefit from immunotherapy and selecting therapeutic agents. Taken together, our identification and evaluation of immune-related ERs highlight the usefulness of EPRIM for the understanding of ERs in immune regulation and the clinical relevance in evaluation of cancer patient prognosis and response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

ABCD1 as a Novel Diagnostic Marker for Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas.

The diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) can be challenging due to potential confusion with other pancreatic neoplasms, particularly pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), using current pathological diagnostic markers. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of bulk RNA sequencing data from SPNs, NETs, and normal pancreas, followed by experimental validation. This analysis revealed an increased accumulation of peroxisomes in SPNs. Moreover, we observed significant upregulation of the peroxisome marker ABCD1 in both primary and metastatic SPN samples compared with normal pancreas and NETs. To further investigate the potential utility of ABCD1 as a diagnostic marker for SPN via immunohistochemistry staining, we conducted verification in a large-scale patient cohort with pancreatic tumors, including 127 SPN (111 primary, 16 metastatic samples), 108 NET (98 nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, NF-NET, and 10 functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, F-NET), 9 acinar cell carcinoma (ACC), 3 pancreatoblastoma (PB), 54 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), 20 pancreatic serous cystadenoma (SCA), 19 pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma (MCA), 12 pancreatic ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and 5 intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) samples. Our results indicate that ABCD1 holds promise as an easily applicable diagnostic marker with exceptional efficacy (AUC=0.999, sensitivity=99.10%, specificity=100%) for differentiating SPN from NET and other pancreatic neoplasms through immunohistochemical staining.
