RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: In gastric cancer cells, the influence of CAR T cells can be produced in the process of inhibiting the progression of gastric cancer, and the role of tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 can be explored in this study, along with its molecular mechanisms. METHODS: The research utilized subcutaneous tumor models in nude mice to assess gastric cancer progression. Protein expression was detected using Western blotting, while Q-PCR examined the expression levels of lncRNA SNHG18 and miR-211-5p in MGC-803 cells. The relationship between miR-211-5p and lncRNA SNHG18 can be analyzed by dual luciferase reporter genes. The migratory ability of MGC-803 cells was determined through wound healing and transwell experiments, and cell proliferation was evaluated using a CCK-8 assay. RESULTS: SHP2 was found to inhibit the cytotoxic effects of CAR-T cells on MGC-803 cells, and it suppressed the expression of proteins related to the ROS/JNK/NFAT4 signaling pathway in MGC-803 cells and the miR-211-5p/BRD4 axis in CAR-T cells. In addition, the proliferation, invasion and migration of MGC-803 cells were promoted, and the expression of miR-211-5p could be inhibited specifically by ncRNA SNHG18, as shown below:SHP2 in gastric cancer cells mediates the ROS/JNK/NFAT4 signaling pathway and induces lncRNA SNHG18, which, through the miR-211-5p/BRD4 axis in CAR-T cells, promotes gastric cancer growth and metastasis.
RESUMEN
Enantioselective recognition is a fundamental property of chiral linkers in chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs). However, clarifying the efficient enantioselective discrimination tailored by achiral linkers remains challenging to explain the chiral recognition mechanism and efficiency. Here, two CMOFs ([Zn2(l-Phe)2(bpa)2]n and [Zn2(l-Phe)2(bpe)2]n) with the completely different enantioselective recognition are synthesized from different nonchiral ligands and the same chiral ligands. The enantioselective recognition of CMOF is undoubtedly related to l-Phe, which differs in the hydrogen bonding to the Trp enantiomer. However, the electrochemical signals are weak and undifferentiated. [Zn2(l-Phe)2(bpe)2]n produces a flattened coplanar conformation with the -CâC- tether in the achiral ligand. The flattened achiral bpee ligand and its surrounding chiral phenylalanine molecules interact through multiple π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding, which together create a chiral sensor that facilitates the recognition of l-Trp. However, [Zn2(l-Phe)2(bpa)2]n produces a stepped conformation due to the -C-C- tether in the achiral ligand; despite the recognition effect of bpea, the recognition is unsatisfactory. Therefore, the chiral recognition of the two CMOFs stems from the synergistic effect between chiral and achiral ligands. This work shows that nonchiral ligands are also crucial in determining enantiomeric discrimination and opens up a new avenue for designing chiral materials.
RESUMEN
Chiral inversions of enantiomers have significantly different biological activities, so it is important to develop simple and effective methods to efficiently identify optically pure compounds. Inspired by enzyme catalysis, the construction of chiral microenvironments resembling enzyme pockets in the pore space structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to achieve asymmetric enantioselective recognition and catalysis has become a new research hotspot. Here, a super-stable porphyrin-containing material PCN-224 is constructed by solvothermal method and a chiral microenvironment around the existing catalytic site of the material is created by post-synthesis modifications of the histidine (His) enantiomers. Experimental and theoretical calculations results show that the modulation of chiral ligands around Zr oxide clusters produces different spatial site resistances, which can greatly affect the adsorption and catalytic level of the enantiomeric molecules of tryptophan guests, resulting in a good enantioselective property of the material. It provides new ideas and possibilities for future chiral recognition and asymmetric catalysis.
RESUMEN
Boletus aereus Fr. ex Bull. stands out as a delectable edible mushroom with high nutritional and medicinal values, featuring polysaccharides as its primary nutrient composition. In our continuous exploration of its beneficial substances, a novel polysaccharide (BAPN-1) with a molecular weight of 2279 kDa was prepared. It was identified as a glucan with a backbone composed of the residues â4)-α-Glcp-(1â and â4,6)-α-Glcp-(1â connected in a proportion of 5:1 and a ß-Glcp-(1â side residue attached at C6 of the â4,6)-α-Glcp-(1â residue. Biologically, BAPN-1 exhibited broad-spectrum antiproliferative activities against various NHL cells, including HuT-78, OCI-LY1, OCI-LY18, Jurkat, RL, and Karpas-299, with IC50 values of 0.73, 1.21, 3.18, 1.52, 3.34, and 4.25 mg/mL, respectively. Additionally, BAPN-1 significantly induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and caused apoptosis of NHL cells. Mechanistically, bulk RNA sequencing and Western blot analysis revealed that BAPN-1 could upregulate cyclin B1 and enhance cleaved caspase-9 expression through the inhibition of FGFR3 and RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathways. This work supports the improved utilization of B. aereus in high-value health products.

Chirality has an important impact on chemical and biological research, as most active substances are chiral. In recent decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are assembled from metal ions or clusters and organic linkers via metal-ligand bonding, have attracted considerable scientific interest due to their high crystallinity, exceptional porosity and tunable pore sizes, high modularity, and diverse functionalities. Since the discovery of the first functional chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs), CMOFs have been involved in a variety of disciplines such as chemistry, physics, optics, medicine, and pharmacology. The introduction of defect engineering theory into CMOFs allows the construction of a class of defective CMOFs with high hydrothermal stability and multi-stage pore structure. The introduction of defects not only increases the active sites but also enlarges the pore sizes of the materials, which improves chiral recognition, separation, and catalytic reactions, and has been widely investigated in various fields. This review describes the design and synthesis of various defective CMOFs, their characterization, and applications. Finally, the development of the materials is summarized, and an outlook is given. This review should provide researchers with an insight into the design and study of complex defective CMOFs.
RESUMEN
While aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) are widely considered as a promising energy storage system due to their merits of low cost, high specific capacity, and safety, the practical implementation has been hindered by the Zn dendrite growth and undesirable parasitic reactions. To address these issues, a unique hydrophobic-ion-conducting cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-intercalated Mg-Al-layered double-hydroxide protective layer was constructed on the Zn anode (OMALDH-Zn) to modulate the nucleation behavior and desolvation process. The hydrophobic cetyl group long chain can inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction and Zn corrosion by repelling water molecules from the anode surface and reducing the desolvation activation energy. Meanwhile, the Mg-Al LDH with abundant zincophilic active sites can modulate the Zn2+ ion flux, enabling the dendrite-free Zn deposition. Benefiting from this interfacial synergy, a long cycle life (>2300 h) with low and stable overpotential (<18 mV at 1 mA cm-2) and excellent Coulombic efficiency (99.4%) for symmetrical and asymmetrical batteries were achieved. More impressively, excellent rate performance and long cyclic stability have been realized by OMALDH-Zn//MnO2 batteries in both coin-type and pouch-type devices. This low-cost, simple, and high-efficiency coordinated modulation method provides a reliable strategy for the practical application of AZIBs.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Nephrolithiasis is prevalent and burdensome worldwide. At present, evidence on the risk factors for nephrolithiasis is unconsolidated and the associations remain uncertain. We systematically evaluate the robustness of the meta-analytic evidence and aid more reliable interpretations of the epidemiological relationships. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive review of the meta-analyses, screened the included studies with the aid of the AMSTAR 2 evaluation tool, and then used R (4.1.1) software to perform data analysis to evaluate the association between candidate risk factors and kidney stones, and evaluated the credibility of the evidence of the association between risk factors and kidney stones according to the GRADE classification, and finally obtained the strength and effectiveness of the association. RESULTS: We finally included 17 meta-analyses regarding 46 risk factors, 34 of which (73.9%) showed statistically significant association with nephrolithiasis. Among the significant associations, we found that waist circumference, BMI, dietary intake and fructose intake were positively correlated with the occurrence and development of nephrolithiasis. Caffeine, dietary fiber and DASH-diet showed a tendency to reduce kidney stones. Interestingly, calcium supplementation, dietary calcium, and vitamin D, which are widely believed to be responsible for stone formation, made no difference or even reduced the risk of nephrolithiasis. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates the suggestive causal (central obesity, T2D, gout, dietary sodium, fructose intake and higher temperatures) risk factors of nephrolithiasis. We also demonstrate the suggestive causal (coffee/alcohol/beer intake, dietary calcium and DASH-diet) protective factors of nephrolithiasis. To provide epidemiological basis for the treatment and prevention of nephrolithiasis.
RESUMEN
Chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted much attention due to their highly tunable regular microporous structures. However, chiral electrochemical recognition based on chiral MOFs is often limited by poor charge separation and slow charge transfer kinetics. In this case, C60 can be encapsulated into the cavity of [La(BTB)]n by virtue of host-guest interactions through π-π stacking to synthesize the chiral composite C60@[La(BTB)]n and amplify electrochemically controlled enantioselective interactions with the target enantiomers. A large electrostatic potential difference is generated in chiral C60@[La(BTB)]n due to the host-guest interaction and the inhomogeneity of the charge distribution, leading to the generation of a strong built-in electric field and thus an overall enhancement of the conductivity of the chiral material. Their enantioselective detection of tryptophan enantiomers was demonstrated by electrochemical measurement. The results showed that chiral MOF materials can be used for enantiomeric recognition. It is worth noting that this new material derived from the concept of host-guest interaction to enhance charge separation opens up unprecedented possibilities for future enantioselective recognition and separation.
RESUMEN
Objective: Flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) has become a widely accepted and effective technique for treating kidney stones. With the development of new laser systems, the fURS approach has evolved significantly. This literature review aims to examine the current state of knowledge on fURS treatment of kidney stones, with a particular focus on the impact of the latest laser technologies on clinical outcomes and patient safety. Methods: We conducted a search of the PubMed/PMC, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, Embase (Ovid), and Cochrane Databases for all randomized controlled trial articles on laser lithotripsy in September 2023 without time restriction. Results: We found a total of 22 relevant pieces of literature. Holmium laser has been used for intracavitary laser lithotripsy for nearly 30 years and has become the golden standard for the treatment of urinary stones. However, the existing holmium laser cannot completely powder the stone, and the retropulsion of the stone after the laser emission and the thermal damage to the tissue have caused many problems for clinicians. The introduction of thulium fiber laser and Moses technology brings highly efficient dusting lithotripsy effect through laser innovation, limiting pulse energy and broadening pulse frequency. Conclusion: While the holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser remains the primary choice for endoscopic laser lithotripsy, recent technological advancements hint at a potential new gold standard. Parameter range, retropulsion effect, laser fiber adaptability, and overall system performance demand comprehensive attention. The ablation efficacy of high-pulse-frequency devices relies on precise targeting, which may pose practical challenges.
RESUMEN
In recent years, photocatalytic technology has been introduced to develop a new kind antimicrobial agents fighting antibiotic abusing and related drug resistance. The efforts have focused on non-precious metal photocatalysts along with green additives. In the present work, a novel bis-S heterojunctions based on the coupling of polysaccharide (CS) and bismuth-based MOF (CAU-17) s synthesized through a two-step method involving amidation reaction under mild conditions. The as prepared photocatalyst literally extended the light response to the near-infrared region. Owing to its double S-type heterostructure, the lifetime of the photocarriers is significantly prolonged and the redox capacity are enhanced. As a result, the as prepared photocatalyst indicated inhibition up to 99.9 % under 20 min of light exposure against Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria as well as drug-resistant bacteria (MRSA). The outstanding photocatalytic performance is attributed to the effective charge separation and migration due to the unique double S heterostructure. Such a double S heterostructure was confirmed through transient photocurrent response, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests and electron spin resonance measurements. The present work provides a basis for the simple synthesis of high-performance heterojunction photocatalytic inhibitors, which extends the application of CAU-17 in environmental disinfection and wastewater purification.

OBJECTIVES: Various new positions for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) were proposed to reduce the limitations of the traditional position. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the different PCNL positions. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to 18 April 2023. The authors collected five common surgical positions used for PCNL: oblique supine position (OSP), supine position (SP), flank position (FP), split-leg oblique supine/flank position (SLP), and prone position (PP). Paired and network meta-analysis were conducted to compare relevant outcomes, including complications, operative time, stone-free rates, hospital stay, and hemoglobin loss among these different positions. RESULTS: The study included 17 RCTs with a total of 1841 patients. The result demonstrated that SLP significantly outperformed in terms of decreasing operation time (FP vs SLP MD- MD-41.65; OSP vs SLP MD 28.97; PP vs SLP MD 34.94), hospital stay, and hemoglobin loss. Ranking probabilities showed SLP had highest stone-free rate. Prone position was more likely to occur complications than others. Based on SMAA model, the benefit-risk analysis suggested the SLP was the optimal position in PCNL. CONCLUSIONS: For PCNL, the split-leg, flank, supine, and OSPs are as secure as the prone position. Further RCTs are necessary to confirm the outstanding safety and efficacy of split-leg position. Besides, the position should be selected regard for the patient's demands, the surgeon's preference and learning curve.

Chiral self-assembly is the spontaneous organization of individual building blocks from chiral (bio)molecules to macroscopic objects into ordered superstructures. Chiral self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature, such as DNA and proteins, which formed the foundation of biological structures. In addition to chiral (bio) molecules, chiral ordered superstructures constructed by self-assembly have also attracted much attention. Chiral self-assembly usually refers to the process of forming chiral aggregates in an ordered arrangement under various non-covalent bonding such as H-bond, π-π interactions, van der Waals forces (dipole-dipole, electrostatic effects, etc.), and hydrophobic interactions. Chiral assembly involves the spontaneous process, which followed the minimum energy rule. It is essentially an intermolecular interaction force. Self-assembled chiral materials based on chiral recognition in electrochemistry, chiral catalysis, optical sensing, chiral separation, etc. have a broad application potential with the research development of chiral materials in recent years.
RESUMEN
Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of regulated cell death characterized by its distinct dependence on iron and the peroxidation of lipids within cellular membranes. Ferroptosis plays a crucial role in physiological and pathological situations and has attracted the attention of numerous scientists. Ferroptosis suppressive protein 1 (FSP1) is one of the main regulators that negatively regulates ferroptosis through the GPX4-independent FSP1-CoQ10-NAD(P)H axis and is a potential therapeutic target for ferroptosis-related diseases. However, the crystal structure of FSP1 has not been resolved, which hinders the development of therapeutic strategies targeting FSP1. To unravel this puzzle, we purified the human FSP1 (hFSP1) protein using the baculovirus eukaryotic cell expression system and solved its crystal structure at a resolution of 1.75 Å. Furthermore, we evaluated the oxidoreductase activity of hFSP1 with NADH as the substrate and identified E156 as the key amino acid in maintaining hFSP1 activity. Interestingly, our results indicated that hFSP1 exists and functions in a monomeric state. Mutagenesis analysis revealed the critical role of the C-terminal domain in the binding of substrate. These findings significantly enhance our understanding of the functional mechanism of FSP1 and provide a precise model for further drug development.
RESUMEN
Objective: To report the initial results of an randomized clinical trail comparing the safety and efficacy between 7.5F and 9.2F flexible ureteroscope (FUS) in the management of renal calculi <2 cm. Materials and Methods: Eighty patients were enrolled and received retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) with a different size FUS. The operation results and complications were compared. Results: Two cases in the 7.5F group and four cases in the 9.2F group failed to insert the 12/14F ureteral access sheath (UAS), respectively, and no significant difference (p = 0.396) was noted. However, 10/12F UAS was inserted in the 7.5F group, but not available in the 9.2F group, and thus, the 10/12F UAS inserting rate in the 7.5F group was higher than in the 9.2F group (100% vs 0%, p = 0.014), and the UAS insertion failure rate in 9.2F group was higher than in the 7.5F group (10% vs 0%, p = 0.040). The operation time in 7.5F group was shorter than the 9.2F group (35.60 ± 7.86 vs 41.05 ± 8.14, p = 0.003). Less irrigation was required in 7.5F group (813.93 ± 279.47 mL vs 1504.18 ± 385.31 mL, p = 0.000). The postoperative fever rate in 9.2F group was higher than 7.5F group (20% vs 5%, p = 0.043). There was no significant difference in sepsis (0% vs 2.5%, p = 0.314) between the two groups. No significant difference was noted in hospital stay (0.93 ± 0.49 days vs 1.14 ± 0.64 days, p = 0.099) between the two groups. The final stone-free rate (SFR) in 7.5F group was higher than 9.2F group (95% vs 80%, p = 0.043). Conclusion: The latest 7.5F mini FUS was a reliable instrument in RIRS to keep a good visualization with low requirement of irrigation, low postoperative infection complication, and also a high SFR when compared with the conventional 9.2F FUS. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05231577.

The introduction of chirality into easy-scalable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) gives rise to the development of advanced electrochemical sensors. However, integrating chirality by directly connecting metal ions and chiral ligands is unpredictable. Postmodification synthesis is a common method for synthesizing chiral MOFs, but it reduces the size of chiral channels and poses obstacles to the approach of chiral guest molecules. In this work, missing connection defects were introduced into the chiral MOFs through defect engineering strategies, which enhance the recognition of the target enantiomers. pH can tune enantioselectivity reversal in defective chiral MOFs. The chiral MOFs show enantioselectivity for d-Trp at pH = 5 and l-Trp at pH = 8. From the results of zeta potential, regardless of pH 5 or 8, the chiral MOF has a positive potential. The chiral MOFs are positively charged, while tryptophan is negatively charged when pH = 8. The difference in the positive and negative charge interactions between the two amino acids and chiral MOFs leads to chiral recognition. However, the difference in π-π interaction between chiral MOF and Trp enantiomers mainly drives chiral recognition under pH = 5. This study paves a pathway for the synthesis of defective chiral MOFs and highlights the pH-tuned enantioselectivity reversal.

Microbial infections based on drug-resistant pathogenic organisms following surgery or trauma and uncontrolled bleeding are the main causes of increased mortality from trauma worldwide. The prevalence of drug-resistant pathogens has led to a significant increase in medical costs and poses a great threat to the normal life of people. This is an important issue in the field of biomedicine, and the emergence of new antimicrobial materials hydrogels holds great promise for solving this problem. Hydrogel is an important material with good biocompatibility, water absorption, oxygen permeability, adhesion, degradation, self-healing, corrosion resistance, and controlled release of drugs as well as structural diversity. Bacteria-disturbing hydrogels have important applications in the direction of surgical treatment, wound dressing, medical device coating, and tissue engineering. This paper reviews the classification of antimicrobial hydrogels, the current status of research, and the potential of antimicrobial hydrogels for one application in biomedicine, and analyzes the current research of hydrogels in biomedical applications from five aspects: metal-loaded hydrogels, drug-loaded hydrogels, carbon-material-loaded hydrogels, hydrogels with fixed antimicrobial activity and biological antimicrobial hydrogels, and provides an outlook on the high antimicrobial activity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, injectability, clinical applicability and future development prospects of hydrogels in this field.

BACKGROUND: Management of complicated posterior urethral stricture is challenging. Modified transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty (TAU) with bulbocavernosus flap interposition and human fibrin sealant provides another treatment option. The authors aimed to evaluate whether this technique could improve the success rate in the complicated posterior urethral stricture reconstruction in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2016 and 2019, 48 patients underwent either conventional or modified TAU. The criteria for success included both the absence of clinical symptoms and no need for further surgical intervention during follow-up. RESULTS: Twelve patients underwent the modified TAU (group A) using bulbocavernosus flap interposition and human fibrin sealant. Thirty-six patients underwent the traditional end-to-end anastomotic urethroplasty (group B). Follow-up was 24.3-57.2 months. The patients in group A had a higher surgery success rate compared to the patients in group B (91.7 vs. 63.9%, P =0.067), with a quasi-significant result. Besides, no postoperative complications were observed in group A, while two individuals in group B had urinary incontinence, but the difference was not significant (0 vs. 5.6%, P =0.404). CONCLUSION: Based on the preliminary results, modified TAU with bulbocavernosus flap interposition and human fibrin sealant is a safe and feasible technique for complicated posterior urethral stricture reconstruction.

BACKGROUND: The authors aimed to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of antibiotic prophylaxis through surgical and nonsurgical scenarios and assess the strength of evidence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors performed an umbrella review of meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). An evidence map was created to summarize the absolute benefits of antibiotic prophylaxis in each scenario and certainty of evidence. RESULTS: Seventy-five meta-analyses proved eligible with 725 RCTs and 78 clinical scenarios in surgical and medical prophylaxis. Of 119 health outcomes, 67 (56.3%) showed statistically significant benefits, 34 of which were supported by convincing or highly suggestive evidence from RCTs. For surgeries, antibiotic prophylaxis may minimize infection occurrences in most surgeries except Mohs surgery, simple hand surgery, herniorrhaphy surgery, hepatectomy, thyroid surgery, rhinoplasty, stented distal hypospadias repair, midurethral sling placement, endoscopic sinus surgery, and transurethral resection of bladder tumors with only low to very low certainty evidence. For nonsurgery invasive procedures, only low to very low certainty evidence showed benefits of antibiotic prophylaxis for cystoscopy, postoperative urinary catheterization, and urodynamic study. For medical prophylaxis, antibiotic prophylaxis showed greater benefits in nonemergency scenarios, in which patients were mainly with weakened immune systems, or at risk of recurrent chronic infections. Antibiotics prophylaxis may increase antibiotic resistance or other adverse events in most scenarios and reached significance in cystoscopy, afebrile neutropenia following chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: Antibiotic prophylaxis in surgical and nonsurgical scenarios is generally effective and seems independent of surgical cleanliness and urgency of diseases. Its safety is not well determined due to lack of available data. Nevertheless, the low quality of current evidence limits the external validity of these findings, necessitating clinicians to judiciously assess indications, balancing low infection rates with antibiotic-related side effects.

Aqueous zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHCs), as ideal candidates for high energy-power supply systems, are restricted by unsatisfied energy density and poor cycling durability for further applications. The construction of a surface-functionalized carbon cathode is an effective strategy for improving the performance of ZIHCs. Herein, a high-performance ZIHC is achieved using oxygen-rich hierarchically porous carbon rods (MDPC-X) prepared by the pyrolysis of a metal-organic framework (MOF) assisted by KOH activation. The MDPC-X samples displayed high electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC) and pseudocapacitance owing to their oxygen-rich surfaces, abundant electroactive sites, and short ions/electron transfer lengths. The surface oxygen functional groups for the reversible chemical adsorption/desorption of Zn2+ are identified using ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Consequently, the as-assembled ZIHC exhibited a high capacity of 323.4 F g-1 (161.7 mA h g-1) at 0.5 A g-1 and a retention of 147 F g-1 (73.5 mA h g-1) at an ultrahigh current density of 50 A g-1, corresponding to high energy and power densities of 145.5 W h kg-1 and 45 kW kg-1, respectively. Furthermore, an excellent cycling life with 96.5% of capacity retention is also maintained after 10 000 cycles at 10 A g-1, demonstrating its promising potential for applications.
