RESUMEN
Multifunctional integration in a single device has always been a hot research topic, especially for contradictory phenomena, one of which is the coexistence of ferroelectricity and metallicity. The complex oxide heterostructures, as symmetric breaking systems, provide a great possibility to incorporate different properties. Moreover, finding a series of oxide heterostructures to achieve this goal remains as a challenge. Here, taking the advantage of different physical phenomena, we use H2 plasma to pretreat the SrTiO3 (STO) substrate and then fabricate HfO2/STO heterostructures with it. The novel, well-repeatable metallic two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is directly obtained at the heterointerfaces without any further complex procedures, while the obvious ferroelectric-like behavior and Rashba spin-orbit coupling are also observed. The understanding of the mechanism, as well as the modified facile preparation procedure, would be meaningful for further development of ferroelectric metal in complex oxide heterostructures.
RESUMEN
Background: Pyroptosis plays a crucial role in immune responses. However, the effects of pyroptosis on tumor microenvironment remodeling and immunotherapy in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. Patients and Methods: Large-sample GEO data (GSE15459, GSE54129, and GSE62254) were used to explore the immunoregulatory roles of pyroptosis. TCGA cohort was used to elucidate multiple molecular events associated with pyroptosis, and a pyroptosis risk score (PRS) was constructed. The prognostic performance of the PRS was validated using postoperative GC samples from three public databases (n=925) and four independent Chinese medical cohorts (n=978). Single-cell sequencing and multiplex immunofluorescence were used to elucidate the immune cell infiltration landscape associated with PRS. Patients with GC who received neoadjuvant immunotherapy (n=48) and those with GC who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (n=49) were enrolled to explore the value of PRS in neoadjuvant immunotherapy. Results: GC pyroptosis participates in immune activation in the tumor microenvironment and plays a powerful role in immune regulation. PRS, composed of four pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (BATF2, PTPRJ, RGS1, and VCAN), is a reliable and independent biomarker for GC. PRSlow is associated with an activated pyroptosis pathway and greater infiltration of anti-tumor immune cells, including more effector and CD4+ T cells, and with the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages in the tumor center. Importantly, PRSlow marks the effectiveness of neoadjuvant immunotherapy and enables screening of GC patients with combined positive score ≥1 who benefit from neoadjuvant immunotherapy. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that pyroptosis activates immune processes in the tumor microenvironment. A low PRS correlates with enhanced infiltration of anti-tumor immune cells at the tumor site, increased pyroptotic activity, and improved patient outcomes. The constructed PRS can be used as an effective quantitative tool for pyroptosis analysis to guide more effective immunotherapeutic strategies for patients with GC.

Recently, certain ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) exhibit non-volatile modulations on photoresponse as well as tunneling electroresistance (TER) effects related to ferroelectric polarization states. From the opposite perspective, the corresponding polarization states can be read by detecting the levels of the photocurrent. In this study, we fabricate a novel amorphous selenium (a-Se)/PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 (PZT)/Nb-doped SrTiO3 (NSTO) heterojunction, which exhibits a high TER of 3 × 106. Unlike perovskite oxide FTJs with a limited ultraviolet response, the introduction of a narrow bandgap semiconductor (a-Se) enables self-powered photoresponse within the visible light range. The self-powered photoresponse characteristics can be significantly modulated by ferroelectric polarization. The photocurrent after writing polarization voltages of +4 and -5 V exhibits a 1200% increase. Furthermore, the photocurrent could be clearly distinguished after writing stepwise polarization voltages, and then a multistate information storage is designed with nondestructive readout capacity under light illumination. This work holds great significance in advancing the development of ferroelectric multistate photoelectronic memories with high storage density and expanding the design possibilities for FTJs.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication following surgery for cancer of the rectum. It is not clear whether reinforcing sutures could prevent anastomotic leakage. Therefore, this study aims at evaluating the efficacy of reinforcing sutures on anastomotic leakage. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases from inception to January 31, 2023. We included studies comparing anastomosis with reinforcing sutures to anastomosis without reinforcing sutures after low anterior resection. Risk of bias was assessed by the Cochrane tool for RCTs and the Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies (ROBINS)-I tool for observational studies. The overall quality of evidence for primary outcome was assessed using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluations methodology. RESULTS: Two RCTs (345 patients) and four observational studies (783 patients) were included. Anastomotic leakage occurred in 4.4% (24 of 548) of patients with reinforcing sutures and 11.9% (69 of 580) of patients without reinforcing sutures. Meta-analysis showed a lower incidence of anastomotic leakage (RR, 0.41; 95% CI 0.25 to 0.66, low certainty) in patients with reinforcing sutures. Operative time (WMD, -3.66; 95% CI -18.58 to 11.25) and reoperation for anastomotic leakage (RR, 0.69; 95% CI 0.23 to 2.08) were similar between patients with reinforcing sutures and those without reinforcing sutures. CONCLUSIONS: While observational data suggest that, there is a clear benefit in terms of reducing the risk of anastomotic leakage with the use of reinforcing sutures, RCT data are less clear. Further large, prospective studies are warranted to determine whether a true clinically important benefit exists with this technique.

BACKGROUND: Although the location of proximal cancer of the remnant stomach is the same as that of primary proximal cancer of the stomach, its clinical characteristics and prognosis are still controversial. AIM: To evaluate the clinicopathological features and prognosis factors of gastric stump cancer (GSC) and primary proximal gastric cancer (PGC). METHODS: From January, 2005 to December, 2016, 178 patients with GSC and 957 cases with PGC who received surgical treatment were enrolled. Patients in both groups underwent 1:1 propensity score matching analysis, and both clinical and pathological data were systematically collected for statistical purposes. Quality of life was evaluated by the C30 and STO22 scale between GSC-malignant (GSC following gastric cancer) and GSC-benign (GSC following benign lesions of the stomach). RESULTS: One hundred and fifty-two pairs were successfully matched after propensity score matching analysis. Of the 15 demographic and pathological variables collected, the analysis further revealed that the number of lymph nodes and positive lymph nodes were different prognostic and clinicopathological factors between PGC and GSC. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that gender, differentiation degree and tumor-node-metastasis stage were independent risk factors for patients with GSC. Gender, vascular invasion, differentiation degree, depth of infiltration, positive lymph nodes, and tumor-node-metastasis stage were independent risk factors for patients with PGC. The 5-year overall survival and cancer-specific survival of patients with GSC were significantly lower than those in the PGC group, the scores for overall quality of life in the GSC-malignant group were lower than the GSC-benign, and the differences were statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The differences in clinicopathological characteristics between GSC and PGC were clarified, and PGC had a better prognosis than GSC.
RESUMEN
Oxygen vacancy is one of the original mechanisms of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the LaAlO3(LAO) and SrTiO3(STO) heterogeneous interface, and it has an important impact on the electrical properties of LAO/STO heterojunction. In this work, the LAO thin films were grown on the STO substrates by pulsed laser deposition, and the electrical transport behavior of the LAO/STO interface at high temperature and high vacuum were systematically studied. It was found that at high temperature and high vacuum, the oxygen vacancies-rich LAO/STO heterojunction would undergo a metal-insulator transition, and return to metal conductivity when the temperature is further increased. At this time, the conduction mechanism of the sample is drift mode and the thermal activation energy is 0.87 eV. While during the temperature decreasing, the conduction mechanism would transfer to hopping conduction with the thermal activation energy of 0.014 eV and the resistance would increase dramatically and present a completely insulated state. However, when the oxygen vacancies-rich sample is exposed to air, the resistance would gradually decrease and recover.
RESUMEN
Complex oxide heterointerfaces have been a hot research spot due to their rich physical phenomena and broad quantum coherence that respond to multiple external stimuli. Among these external stimuli, light is a very powerful one to manipulate properties such as carrier density and spin characteristics. However, achieving a light-magnetic correlation is in high demand for multifield responding devices, and its intrinsic mechanism remains unclear. Here, by illuminating Nd0.86Sr0.14Al0.86Ni0.14O3-SrTiO3 heterointerfaces using 360 nm light, we observe a series of interesting physical phenomena, like enhanced magnetoresistance (MR). More interestingly, a band splitting and strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect occur after illumination, accompanied by a magnetic feature and thus leading to an anomalous Hall effect (AHE). Upon optical gating, the magnetism can be caused by Rashba SOC induced spin-orbit torque (SOT). The work will be sure to have great importance in both theoretical studies and all-oxide devices.
RESUMEN
The effectiveness of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is confirmed in clinical trials; however, the patients suitable for receiving this therapy remain unspecified. Previous studies have demonstrated that the tumor microenvironment (TME) dominates immunotherapy; therefore, an effective TME classification strategy is required. In this study, five crucial immunophenotype-related molecules (WARS, UBE2L6, GZMB, BATF2, and LAG-3) in the TME are determined in five public gastric cancer (GC) datasets (n = 1426) and an in-house sequencing dataset (n = 79). Based on this, a GC immunophenotypic score (IPS) is constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox, and randomSurvivalForest. IPSLow is characterized as immune-activated, and IPSHigh is immune-silenced. Data from seven centers (n = 1144) indicate that the IPS is a robust and independent biomarker for GC and superior to the AJCC stage. Furthermore, patients with an IPSLow and a combined positive score of ≥5 are likely to benefit from neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy. In summary, the IPS can be a useful quantitative tool for immunophenotyping to improve clinical outcomes and provide a practical reference for implementing neoadjuvant ICI therapy for patients with GC.

The engineered interfaces of complex oxides have abundant physical properties and provide a powerful platform for the exploration of fundamental physics and emergent phenomena. In particular, research on the two-dimensional magnetic systems with high mobility remains a long-standing challenge for the discovery of quantum phase and spintronic applications. Here, we introduce a few atomic layers of the delta doping layer at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces through elaborately controllable epitaxial growth of SrRuO3. After inserting a SrRuO3 buffer layer, the interfaces exhibit a well-defined anomalous Hall effect up to 100 K and their mobility is enhanced by 3 orders of magnitude at low temperatures. More intriguingly, a large unsaturated positive magnetoresistance is created at interfaces. Combining with the density functional theory calculation, we attribute our findings to the electron transfer at interfaces and the magnetic moment of Ru4+ 4d bands. The results pave a way for further research of two-dimensional ferromagnetism and quantum transport in all-oxide systems.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) ranks second in mortality among all malignant diseases worldwide. However, the cause and molecular mechanism underlying gastric cancer are not clear. Here, we used integrated bioinformatics to identify possible key genes and reveal the pathogenesis and prognosis of gastric cancer. METHODS: The gene expression profiles of GSE118916, GSE79973, and GSE29272 were available from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between GC and normal gastric tissues were screened by R software and Venn diagram software. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment of DEGs was performed using the DAVID database. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was established by STRING and visualized using Cytoscape software. Then the influence of hub genes on expression and survival was assessed using TCGA database. RESULTS: A total of 83 DEGs were found in the three datasets, including 41 up-regulated genes and 42 down-regulated genes. These DEGs were mainly enriched in extracellular matrix organization and cell adhesion. The enriched pathways obtained in the KEGG pathway analysis were extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction and focal adhesion. A PPI network of DEGs was analyzed using the Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) app of Cytoscape. Four genes were considered hub genes, including COL5A1, FBN1, SPARC, and LUM. Among them, LUM was found to have a significantly worse prognosis based on TCGA database. CONCLUSIONS: We screened DEGs associated with GC by integrated bioinformatics analysis and found one potential biomarker that may be involved in the progress of GC. This hub gene may serve as a guide for further molecular biological experiments.

The high demand for renewable and clean energy has driven the exploration of advanced energy storage systems. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered to be potential substitutes for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) because they are manufactured from raw materials that are cheap, less toxic, and abundantly available. Recent developments have demonstrated that two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained increasing interest as electrode candidates for efficient SIBs because of their enormous surface area and sufficient accommodating sites for the storage of Na ions. Herein, we explore the binding and diffusion mechanisms of Na on a 2D SnS sheet using density functional theory (DFT). The outcomes reveal that Na has a strong binding strength with SnS as well as charge transfer from Na to SnS, which affirms an excellent electrochemical performance. A transition from semiconducting (1.4 eV band gap) to metallic has been noted in the electronic structure after loading a minor amount of Na. In addition, a low open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 0.87 V and a high storage capacity of 357 mA h g-1 show the suitability of the SnS monolayer for SIBs. In addition, the low activation barrier for Na migration (0.13 eV) is attractive for a fast sodiation/desodiation process. Henceforth, these encouraging outcomes suggest the application of the SnS sheet as an excellent anode for next-generation SIBs.
RESUMEN
Chemical doping is a dominating method for manipulating oxide two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). However, enhancing the doping level while maintaining the metallic conduction remains a challenge, which limits detailed knowledge of 2DEG manipulation. Herein, we propose a concept of high-entropy heterointerface, which consists of a complex oxide (containing at least 5 elements) at either or both sides of the interface. By doubly doping Sr and Mn elements in the Nd and Al sites of NdAlO3, we grow Nd1-xSrxAl1-xMnxO3 (NSAMO) films onto SrTiO3 (STO) substrates to fabricate NSAMO/STO high-entropy heterointerfaces with different thicknesses (2-30 nm) and a wide range of doping ratios x (0.14-0.56). The 2DEG conducting behavior is maintained until x = 0.42, which is higher compared with similar studies. The varying x results in the coexistence of rich properties like a weak anti-localization (0.14-0.42), abnormal Hall effect (0.28 & 0.42), Lifshitz transition (0.42) and stable structure. These results confirm the potential of this strategy to tailor 2DEG in all-oxide interfaces.
RESUMEN
Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) at the LaAlO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} interface have attracted wide interest, and some exotic phenomena are observed, including 2D superconductivity, 2D magnetism, and diverse effects associated with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Despite the intensive investigations, however, there are still hidden aspects that remain unexplored. For the first time, here we report on the circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) for the oxide 2DEG. Spin polarized electrons are selectively excited by circular polarized light from the in-gap states of SrTiO_{3} to 2DEG and are converted into electric current via the mechanism of spin-momentum locking arising from Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Moreover, the CPGE can be effectively modified by the density and distribution of oxygen vacancies. This Letter presents an effective approach to generate and manipulate the spin polarized current, paving the way toward oxide spintronics.
RESUMEN
We report a novel Mn-Co-Ni-O (MCN) nanocomposite in which the p-type semiconductivity of Mn-Co-Ni-O can be manipulated by addition of graphene. With an increase of graphene content, the semiconductivity of the nanocomposite can be tuned from p-type through electrically neutral to n-type. The very low effective mass of electrons in graphene facilitates electron tunneling into the MCN, neutralizing holes in the MCN nanoparticles. XPS analysis shows that the multivalent manganese ions in the MCN nanoparticles are chemically reduced by the graphene electrons to lower-valent states. Unlike traditional semiconductor devices, electrons are excited from the filled graphite band into the empty band at the Dirac points from where they move freely in the graphene and tunnel into the MCN. The new composite film demonstrates inherent flexibility, high mobility, short carrier lifetime, and high carrier concentration. This work is useful not only in manufacturing flexible transistors, FETs, and thermosensitive and thermoelectric devices with unique properties but also in providing a new method for future development of 2D-based semiconductors.
RESUMEN
To investigate the potential role of GXYLT2 (glucoside xylosyltransferase 2) in gastric cancer (GC), the TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) database and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset were used to evaluate GXYLT2 mRNA expression, and the standardized mean difference and diagnostic value were comprehensively assessed. Survival analysis and univariate/multivariate cox regression analysis were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of GXYLT2 in GC patients. The correlation between GXYLT2 and tumor immune cells was identified by using the CIBERSORT algorithm. The results showed that GXYLT2 expression level was significantly increased in GC tissues. GXYLT2 expression was significantly correlated with the grade, stage, and invasion depth of gastric cancer. Overall survival was reduced in the high GXYLT2 expression group. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that GXYLT2 was a reliable prognostic factor. GSEA showed that GXYLT2 might participate in the development of GC through tumor-related pathways. The expression of GXYLT2 was positively correlated with 5 tumor-infiltrating immune cells (resting dendritic cells, m2 macrophages, monocytes, active NK cells and resting mast cells), and was negatively correlated with 6 tumor-infiltrating immune cells (plasma cells, activated memory CD4 T cells, resting NK cells, activated dendritic cells, and activated neutrophils and mast cells). Through cell experiment verification, GXYLT2 expression level in gastric cancer cells was found to be high, which verified the results from the bioinformatics analysis. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining results also showed that GC tissues had positive GXYLT2 expression. In summary, GXYLT2 might be a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To develop and externally validate a prognostic nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) in patients with resectable colon cancer. METHODS: Data for 50,996 patients diagnosed with non-metastatic colon cancer were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Patients were assigned randomly to the training set (n = 34,168) or validation set (n = 16,828). Independent prognostic factors were identified by multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and used to construct the nomogram. Harrell's C-index and calibration plots were calculated using the SEER validation set. Additional external validation was performed using a Chinese dataset (n = 342). RESULTS: Harrell's C-index of the nomogram for OS in the SEER validation set was 0.71, which was superior to that using the 7th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM staging (0.59). Calibration plots showed consistency between actual observations and predicted 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival. Harrell's C-index (0.72) and calibration plot showed excellent predictive accuracy in the external validation set. CONCLUSIONS: We developed a nomogram to predict OS after curative resection for colon cancer. Validation using the SEER and external datasets revealed good discrimination and calibration. This nomogram may help predict individual survival in patients with colon cancer.

Complex oxide heterointerfaces provide a platform to manipulate spin-orbit coupling under the broken inversion symmetry. Moreover, their weak antilocalization (WAL) effect displays quantum coherent behavior due to the strong spin-orbit coupling. Herein, we break through the limitation of lattice mismatch at ReAlO3/STO (Re = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, and Gd) heterointerfaces and obtain their two-dimensional electric gas (2DEG) by spin coating. The effect of different Re elements in the resulting quantum corrections on the conductivity is investigated. It is observed that the conductivity of heterointerfaces is reduced with larger atomic numbers due to the ionization potential of Re elements. Moreover, magnetoresistance (MR) measurements in a perpendicular or a parallel field distinctly uncover strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in ReAO/STO samples besides SAO/STO (Re = Sm) and GAO/STO (Re = Gd), and the effective fields of the SOC (Hso) gradually increase from LAO/STO (Re = La, Hso = 0.82 T) to NAO/STO (Re = Nd, Hso = 1.37 T) at 2 K. The competition between SOC scattering and inelastic scattering is revealed through a temperature-dependence study of MR, and the WAL-weak localization transition is at about 6 K. Furthermore, unambiguous results of the Kondo effect, nonlinear Hall, hysteresis loop, and Rashba SOC suggest the coexistence of WAL at the PAO/STO (Re = Pr) heterointerface with exchange coupling between the localized magnetic moment and the itinerant electron. These results pave a unique route for the exploration of spin-polarized 2DEGs at oxide heterointerfaces.
RESUMEN
Although the amorphous two-dimensional electron gas (a-2DEG) of oxides provides new opportunities to explore nanoelectronic as well as quantum devices, the intrinsic effect of rare earth (Re = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Tm) elements at ReAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerfaces is still largely unknown and needs to be addressed systematically. Herein, we first propose that the ionization potential of Re elements is a critical factor for the 2DEG fabricated by chemical spin coating. Furthermore, the photoresponsive properties of heterointerfaces are investigated comprehensively with the ionization potential ranging from 35.79 to 41.69 eV. The results show that the sheet resistances significantly increase with increasing the ionization potential, and a resistance upturn phenomenon is observed at TmAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerfaces, which can be attributed to the weak localization effect theoretically. The most important observation is the dramatic transition from negative (-178.3%, Re = La) to positive (+89.9%, Re = Gd) photoresponse at ReAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerfaces under the irradiation of 405 nm light at 50 K. More remarkably, a unique recovery behavior of transient-persistent photoconductivity coexistence at low temperatures is discovered at the TmAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface. This work reveals an effective approach to tune the transport and photoresponsive properties by changing Re elements and paves the way for the application of all-oxide devices.
RESUMEN
The formation of conductive LaFeO3/SrTiO3interfaces is first time reported by pulsed laser deposition via controlling the defects of SrTiO3, which are closely related to the surface of substrate. It is found that the interfaces grown on SrTiO3substrates without terraces exhibit the two dimensional electron gas. Moreover, the conductive interfaces show a resistance upturn at low temperatures which is strongly diminished by light irradiation. These interfaces favor the persistent photoconductivity, and the enormous value of relative change in resistance, about 60 185.8%, is also obtained at 20 K. The experimental results provide fundamental insights into controlling the defects at conductive interfaces of oxides and paving a way for complex-oxides based optoelectronic devices.
RESUMEN
Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent human cancers with poor prognosis. Trastuzumab is a well-used targeted drug for gastric cancer with HER2 amplification. Trastuzumab resistance restrains the clinical use of trastuzumab. In this study, we reported human Gse1 coiled-coil protein (GSE1) promoted trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive gastric cancer cells. Acquired trastuzumab-resistant gastric cancer cells overexpressed GSE1, and depletion of GSE1 decreased the trastuzumab resistance of trastuzumab-resistant gastric cancer cells. BCL-2 was a downstream gene positively regulated by GSE1 and also performed promoting the role of trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive gastric cancer cells. A high level of GSE1 was associated with a high risk of tumor lymph node metastasis and higher clinical stage in HER2-positive gastric cancer patients. GSE1 was a potential target that could be used for HER2-positive gastric cancer therapy.
