RÉSUMÉ

The catalytic regio- and enantioselective hydrocarboxylation of alkenes with carbon dioxide is a straightforward strategy to construct enantioenriched α-chiral carboxylic acids but remains a big challenge. Herein we report the first example of catalytic highly enantio- and site-selective remote hydrocarboxylation of a wide range of readily available unactivated alkenes with abundant and renewable CO2 under mild conditions enabled by the SaBOX/Ni catalyst. The key to this success is utilizing the chiral SaBOX ligand, which combines with nickel to simultaneously control both chain-walking and the enantioselectivity of carboxylation. This process directly furnishes a range of different alkyl-chain-substituted or benzo-fused α-chiral carboxylic acids bearing various functional groups in high yields and regio- and enantioselectivities. Furthermore, the synthetic utility of this methodology was demonstrated by the concise synthesis of the antiplatelet aggregation drug (R)-indobufen from commercial starting materials.

RÉSUMÉ

Herein, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor using gold nanoparticles@3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic (Au@PTCA) Schottky junction as the effective optoelectronic material and lead ion (Pb2+)-G quadruplex structure as the efficient quencher was constructed for the detection of Pb2+ with high sensitivity and excellent selectivity. Au@PTCA Schottky junction, which was proposed by the in situ reduction of Au NPs on the PTCA surface, exhibited a strong unidirectional conductivity, which could generate a significantly enhanced PEC signal compared with the pure PTCA. The Pb2+-G quadruplex structure with a large spatial hindrance effect was formed when the target Pb2+ was present owing to the occurrence of the specific recognition between Pb2+ and its aptamer S1. The formation of a Pb2+-G quadruplex structure effectively quenched the initial signal generated by the Au@PTCA Schottky junction, which was derived from restricted electron transport and light transmission. The obtained prominently decreased PEC signal could achieve the quantitative detection of Pb2+ from 0.5 pM to 500 nM, with a low detection limit of 0.17 pM. The preparation time of this PEC aptasensor was 13 h, and the time for PEC measurement depended on the illumination time, which switched off-on-off for 10 s-20 s-10 s. The study proposed here with high sensitivity and excellent selectivity for Pb2+ analysis offered a novel and reliable tool for environmental monitoring related to heavy metal ions.

RÉSUMÉ

BACKGROUND: Cetuximab is extensively used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, resistance poses a significant challenge to successful therapy. Recently, paraptosis, a non-classical programmed cell death, has garnered increased attention for its potential application value in antitumor treatments. We aimed to identify the essential pathways and signaling molecules involved in paraptosis inhibition and select them as therapeutic targets in cetuximab resistance. Additionally, engineered exosome technology is used as a drug delivery system with both targeted and effector properties. RESULTS: By comparing the differential expression of paraptosis-related genes between drug-resistant colon cancer cells and sensitive cells, it was observed that the paraptosis level induced by cetuximab was significantly downregulated in drug-resistant cells. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis identified the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling pathway as a key pathway involved in the suppression of paraptosis. The biological function of FAK in cetuximab-resistant cells was investigated through cell morphology observation, CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, RT-qPCR, Western Blot, and loss-of-function experiments. The results showed that the FAK signaling pathway was significantly upregulated in cetuximab-resistant colon cancer cells, and siRNA interference targeting FAK could notably inhibit cell proliferation while upregulating the paraptosis level. Based on this, engineered colon cancer cells targeted and FAK siRNA loaded exosomes (CT-Exo-siFAK1) were constructed. In vitro experiments, CT-Exo-siFAK1 could effectively activate paraptosis and inhibit the proliferation of drug-resistant colon cancer cells. In vivo experiments also confirmed that CT-Exo-siFAK1 significantly suppressed tumor growth and metastasis while upregulating the paraptosis level. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that FAK signaling pathway-mediated inhibition of paraptosis levels is crucial in the sensitivity of cetuximab targeted therapy in colon cancer, and the use of engineered exosomes to deliver FAK siRNA may be an effective strategy to reverse cetuximab resistance.

RÉSUMÉ

Due to the high heterogeneity of ovarian cancer (OC), it occupies the main cause of cancer-related death among women. As the most aggressive and frequent subtype of OC, high-grade serous cancer (HGSC) represents around 70 % of all patients. With the booming progress of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), unique and subtle changes among different cell states have been identified including novel risk genes and pathways. Here, our present study aims to identify differentially correlated core genes between normal and tumor status through HGSC scRNA-seq data analysis. R package high-dimension Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (hdWGCNA) was implemented for building gene interaction networks based on HGSC scRNA-seq data. DiffCorr was integrated for identifying differentially correlated genes between tumor and their adjacent normal counterparts. Software Cytoscape was implemented for constructing and visualizing biological networks. Real-time qPCR (RT-qPCR) was utilized to confirm expression pattern of new genes. We introduced ScHGSC-IGDC (Identifying Genes with Differential Correlations of HGSC based on scRNA-seq analysis), an in silico framework for identifying core genes in the development of HGSC. We detected thirty-four modules in the network. Scores of new genes with opposite correlations with others such as NDUFS5, TMSB4X, SERPINE2 and ITPR2 were identified. Further survival and literature validation emphasized their great values in the HGSC management. Meanwhile, RT-qPCR verified expression pattern of NDUFS5, TMSB4X, SERPINE2 and ITPR2 in human OC cell lines and tissues. Our research offered novel perspectives on the gene modulatory mechanisms from single cell resolution, guiding network based algorithms in cancer etiology field.

RÉSUMÉ

BACKGROUND: Despite the significant role of JAK3 in various autoimmune diseases, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), there has been a lack of potent and selective JAK3 inhibitors specifically studied for GVHD. In our preclinical investigations, we evaluated a novel JAK3 inhibitor called CS12192, which is already undergoing clinical investigation in autoimmune diseases. METHODS: We evaluated the efficacy of CS12192 in GVHD through mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) in both mouse and human cells, as well as allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in a murine model. RESULTS: CS12192, starting at a concentration of 0.5 µM, dose-dependently reduced the intracellular positivity for cytokines TNF-α and IFN-γ in CD4+ T cells (p < 0.05 to p < 0.0001) and CD8+ T cells (p < 0.01 to p < 0.0001) during mouse allogeneic MLR assays. This effect was observed for both single and double positivity of the cytokines. Moreover, In MLR assays with three different human donors, CS12192 also demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in the proportion of IFN-γ positive CD4+ T cells (p < 0.0001) and CD8+ T cells (p < 0.01 to p < 0.0001). Additionally, it suppressed T cell proliferation in the mouse MLR (p < 0.05 to p < 0.0001), but this effect was observed in only one human donor (p < 0.001 to p < 0.0001). Furthermore, the administration of CS12192 at 40 and 80 mg/kg BID significantly improved the survival rate in the BMT model, resulting in cumulative 62-day survival rates of 88.89% (p < 0.01) and 100% (p < 0.001), respectively, compared with prednisolone (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: CS12192 is a novel, potent and selective JAK3 inhibitor demonstrating great potential to mitigate acute GVHD.

RÉSUMÉ

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a substantial global health burden. Tumorinfiltrating B lymphocytes (TIL-Bs) contribute to tumor progression and significantly impact the efficacy of tumor therapy. However, the characteristics of TIL-Bs in HCC and their effect on HCC therapy remain elusive. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) was applied to investigate the heterogeneity, cellular differentiation and cell-cell communication of TIL-Bs in HCC. Further, the Cancer Genome Atlas-liver hepatocellular carcinoma (TCGA-LIHC) and liver cancer institutes (LCI) cohorts were applied to construct and validate the plasma cell marker-based prognostic risk model. The relationship between the prognostic risk model and the responsiveness of immunotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with HCC were estimated by OncoPredict and tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) algorithm. Finally, we established nomogram and calibration curves to evaluate the precision of the risk score in predicating survival probability. Our data identified five subtypes of TIL-Bs in HCC, each exhibiting varying levels of infiltration in tumor tissues. The interactions between TIL-Bs and other cell types contributed to shaping distinct tumor microenvironments (TME). Moreover, we found that TIL-Bs subtypes had disparate prognostic values in HCC patients. The prognostic risk model demonstrated exceptional predictive accuracy for overall survival and exhibited varying sensitivities to immunotherapy and chemotherapy among patients with HCC. Our data demonstrated that the risk score stood as an independent prognostic predictor and the nomogram results further affirmed its strong prognostic capability. This study reveals the heterogeneity of TIL-Bs and provides a prognostic risk model based on plasma cell markers in HCC, which could prove valuable in predicting prognosis and guiding the choice of suitable therapies for patients with HCC.

RÉSUMÉ

Controlling interlayer excitons in Van der Waals heterostructures holds promise for exploring Bose-Einstein condensates and developing novel optoelectronic applications, such as excitonic integrated circuits. Despite intensive studies, several key fundamental properties of interlayer excitons, such as their binding energies and interactions with charges, remain not well understood. Here we report the formation of momentum-direct interlayer excitons in a high-quality MoSe_{2}/hBN/MoSe_{2} heterostructure under an electric field, characterized by bright photoluminescence (PL) emission with high quantum yield and a narrow linewidth of less than 4 meV. These interlayer excitons show electrically tunable emission energy spanning ∼180 meV through the Stark effect, and exhibit a sizable binding energy of ∼81 meV in the intrinsic regime, along with trion binding energies of a few millielectronvolts. Remarkably, we demonstrate the long-range transport of interlayer excitons with a characteristic diffusion length exceeding 10 µm, which can be attributed, in part, to their dipolar repulsive interactions. Spatially and polarization-resolved spectroscopic studies reveal rich exciton physics in the system, such as valley polarization, local trapping, and the possible existence of dark interlayer excitons. The formation and transport of tightly bound interlayer excitons with narrow linewidth, coupled with the ability to electrically manipulate their properties, open exciting new avenues for exploring quantum many-body physics, including excitonic condensate and superfluidity, and for developing novel optoelectronic devices, such as exciton and photon routers.

RÉSUMÉ

Myocardial motion tracking stands as an essential clinical tool in the prevention and detection of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the foremost cause of death globally. However, current techniques suffer from incomplete and inaccurate motion estimation of the myocardium in both spatial and temporal dimensions, hindering the early identification of myocardial dysfunction. To address these challenges, this paper introduces the Neural Cardiac Motion Field (NeuralCMF). NeuralCMF leverages implicit neural representation (INR) to model the 3D structure and the comprehensive 6D forward/backward motion of the heart. This method surpasses pixel-wise limitations by offering the capability to continuously query the precise shape and motion of the myocardium at any specific point throughout the cardiac cycle, enhancing the detailed analysis of cardiac dynamics beyond traditional speckle tracking. Notably, NeuralCMF operates without the need for paired datasets, and its optimization is self-supervised through the physics knowledge priors in both space and time dimensions, ensuring compatibility with both 2D and 3D echocardiogram video inputs. Experimental validations across three representative datasets support the robustness and innovative nature of the NeuralCMF, marking significant advantages over existing state-of-the-art methods in cardiac imaging and motion tracking.

RÉSUMÉ

A novel process using N-benzylhydroxylamine hydrochloride as a "C1N1 synthon" in [2+2+1] cyclization for the construction of 1,2,5-trisubstituted imidazoles has been described for the first time. The key to realizing this process lies in capturing arylamines by in situ generated novel acyl ketonitrone intermediates. Subsequent tautomerization activates the α-C(sp3)-H of N-benzylhydroxylamines, and thus breaks through its inherent reaction mode and achieves N, α-C site-selective cyclization. Furthermore, this method enables scale-up synthesis and late-stage modification of complex molecules.

RÉSUMÉ

BACKGROUND: To analyze the risk factors for the development of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head after reduction surgery in children with developmental hip dysplasia (DDH), and to establish a prediction nomogram. METHODS: The clinical data of 134 children with DDH (169 hips) treated with closure reduction or open reduction from December 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Independent risk factors for AVN after DDH reduction being combined with cast external immobilization were determined by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression and used to generate nomograms predicting the occurrence of AVN. RESULTS: A total of 169 hip joints in 134 children met the inclusion criteria, with a mean age at surgery of 10.7 ± 4.56 months (range: 4-22 months) and a mean follow-up duration of 38.32 ± 27.00 months (range: 12-94 months). AVN developed in 42 hip joints (24.9%); univariate analysis showed that the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) grade, preoperative development of the femoral head ossification nucleus, cartilage acetabular index, femoral head to acetabular Y-shaped cartilage distance, residual acetabular dysplasia, acetabular abduction angle exceeding 60°, and the final follow-up acetabular index (AI) were associated with the development of AVN (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the preoperative IHDI grade, development of the femoral head ossification nucleus, acetabular abduction angle exceeding 60°, and the final follow-up AI were independent risk factors for AVN development (P < 0.05). Internal validation of the Nomogram prediction model showed a consistency index of 0.833. CONCLUSION: Preoperative IHDI grade, preoperative development of the femoral head ossification nucleus, final AI, and acetabular abduction angle exceeding 60° are risk factors for AVN development. This study successfully constructed a Nomogram prediction model for AVN after casting surgery for DDH that can predict the occurrence of AVN after casting surgery for DDH.

RÉSUMÉ

Social learning theory has been widely implemented to understand cyber deviance. Nevertheless, the antecedent scholarship homogenously nested in the perspective of offending specification, leaving the offending versatility thesis unattained. The lack of such studies may undermine the capability of comprehensively understanding the social learning patterns of online offending. Using a sample of 3741 Chinese college students, this study estimated an array of binary logistic regressions to compare the effects of traditional and online social learning in four types of online offending (online sexual harassment, cyberbullying, hacking, and digital piracy). The results suggest that offending versatility and offending specification co-exist in the social learning process of cyber deviance, while offending specification explains a marginally greater variance. Besides, online learning variables act as potential mediators in the relationships between traditional learning and cyber deviance. Furthermore, traditional social learning shows greater predictive power in cyber-enabled crimes than in cyber-dependent crimes. Our study provides fresh empirical evidence for the non-exclusive association between offending versatility and offending specification in the social learning process of cyber deviance.

RÉSUMÉ

Dachaihu Decoction is a classic prescription with the function of harmonizing Shaoyang and purging away internal stasis of heat, which was specially developed by Master ZHANG Zhongjing for the concurrent disease of Shaoyang and Yangming. A large number of international studies have shown that Dachaihu Decoction has liver protection, gallbladder benefit, anti-inflammatory, and other pharmacological effects and is mostly used in modern clinical treatment of acute pancreatitis, acute cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, and other digestive diseases. This paper combined bibliography and statistics and selected the ancient book database and CNKI database to search the relevant literature on Dachaihu decoction, verify the composition and dosage, processing method, main diseases, and modern clinical application, and predict its quality markers(Q-markers) based on the "five principles" of Q-markers. The results suggest that saikosaponin a, baicalin, and 6-gingerol can be selected as potential Q-markers for Dachaihu Decoction, so as to provide a basis for the clinical research of traditional Chinese medicine and the development and application of compound preparations.

RÉSUMÉ

BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a highly lethal form of lung cancer. Despite advancements in treatments, managing LUAD is still challenging due to its aggressive behavior. Recent studies indicate that various molecular pathways, including the dysregulation of ferredoxin 1 (FDX1), play roles in LUAD progression. FDX1, a crucial protein in cellular redox reactions and energy metabolism, has been linked to several cancers. However, its exact role in the development of LUAD is not yet fully understood. METHODS: We investigated the role of ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) in LUAD progression through analysis of its expression in LUAD tissues and its impact on patient survival. Functional assays were performed to assess the effects of FDX1 overexpression on LUAD cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. A xenograft model was employed to evaluate the tumorigenesis potential of LUAD cells with FDX1 overexpression. Mechanistic insights into FDX1 regulation were gained through depletion experiments targeting the G protein-regulated inducer of neurite outgrowth 2 (GPRIN2)/PI3K signaling pathway. RESULTS: FDX1 expression was down-regulated in LUAD tissues, correlating with shorter patient survival. Overexpression of FDX1 suppressed LUAD cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro, and inhibited tumorigenesis in vivo. Mechanistically, the GPRIN2/PI3K signaling pathway was implicated in FDX1 regulation, as depletion of GPRIN2 reversed the effects of FDX1 overexpression on cellular functions. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight FDX1 as a potential tumor suppressor in LUAD, acting through modulation of the GPRIN2/PI3K signaling pathway. These results suggest FDX1 as a promising therapeutic target for LUAD treatment, warranting further investigation into its clinical relevance.

RÉSUMÉ

A green, economical and simple method for the preparation of water-soluble, high-fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) has been developed via hydrothermal process using pomelo peels as carbon source. The synthesized CQDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV - vis absorption spectra and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results reveal that the as-prepared C-dots were spherical shape with an average diameter of 2.64 nm and emit bright blue photoluminescence (PL) with a quantum yield of approximately 3.63%. The surface of the C-dots was rich in hydroxyl groups and presented various merits including excellent photostability, low toxicity, and satisfactory solubility. Additionally, we found that two widely used synthetic food colorants, tartrazine and sunset yellow, could result in a strong fluorescence quenching of the C-dots, The possible mechanisms are caused by different ratios of inner filter and static quenching effects. According to this property, This study attempts to establish an analytical method for the determination of tartrazine and sunset yellow using carbon quantum dots as fluorescent probe. A linear relationship was found in the range of 0-100 µM tartrazine and sunset yellow with the detection limit(3σ/k) of 0.65 nM and 1.7 nM. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 3.5% (tartrazine) and 3.0% (sunset yellow).This observation was further successfully applied for the determination of tartrazine and sunset yellow in food samples collected from local markets, and the recovery rates of the two ranges from 79% to 117.8 and 81 -103.5%, respectively. suggesting its great potential toward food routine analysis.

RÉSUMÉ

As one of main high-energy fuels for rocket launching, unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and its decomposition products do harm to environment and human health. It is significant to develop a device to monitor its leakage. In this work, a UDMH gas sensor based on In2O3 hollow microspheres with Nd dopant was fabricated. The pure, 1.0 mol%, 3.0 mol% and 5.0 mol% Nd doped In2O3 were synthesized via one-step solvothermal method. Among them, 3.0% Nd-In2O3 based sensor exhibits the highest response toward UDMH vapor. Its response value to 100 ppm UDMH is 183.3 at optimal working temperature of 250 °C, 6.8 times higher than that of pure In2O3 (26.8). Besides high response to UDMH, the 3% Nd-In2O3 based sensor represents excellent selectivity, rapid response speed (2 s) and ultra-low theoretical LOD to UDMH (0.28 ppb). The improved gas sensing performance via Nd doping could be attributed to the enhanced specific surface area, increased concentration of adsorbed oxygen and improved adsorption capacity for UDMH molecular on the surface. The excellent sensing performance of Nd doped In2O3 hollow microspheres makes it a promising candidate for real-time UDMH detection.

RÉSUMÉ

Background: There has been a gradual increase in the proportion of preterm birth in China during the past several decades. Maternal malnutrition is a significant determinant for preterm birth. Nevertheless, comprehensive studies investigating serum mineral levels during pregnancy associated with preterm birth remain scarce. This study aims to assess the associations between maternal serum mineral levels and the risk of preterm birth. Methods: This retrospective cohort study of 18,048 pregnant women used data from a tertiary hospital in China from January 2016 to December 2022. Demographic data and serum mineral concentrations in the second and third trimesters of mothers were collected from the hospital information system. Analysis was performed using restricted cubic splines and logistic regression models. Results: The proportion of preterm birth in this study was 6.01%. Phosphorus [P for overall = 0.005; P for nonlinear = 0.490; OR (95%CI) = 1.11 (1.04, 1.18)] and chlorine [P for overall = 0.002; P for nonlinear = 0.058; OR (95%CI) = 1.11 (1.03, 1.19)] showed a significant positive correlation with preterm birth in a linear fashion. Furthermore, serum levels of potassium (P for nonlinear <0.001), sodium (P for nonlinear = 0.004), and magnesium (P for nonlinear <0.001) exhibited non-linear relationships with the risk of preterm birth. Conclusion: Serum levels of some minerals during pregnancy were associated with the risk of preterm birth among pregnant women. In addition to commonly recognized micronutrients such as folic acid, iron, and vitamin D, healthcare providers should also pay attention to the levels of these minerals during pregnancy.

RÉSUMÉ

Cerebral infarction is a common neurological disease with high rates of morbidity, mortality, and recurrence, posing a great threat to human life and health. Cerebral infarction is the second leading cause of death in the world and the leading cause of long-term disability in humans. The results of the third national retrospective sampling survey on causes of death in 2008 showed that cerebral infarction has become the leading cause of death in China and its mortality rate is 4-5 times that of European and American countries. Therefore, this article proposed a study on the predictive value of Cmmi-MHR combined with thromboelastography parameters that was performed for acute cerebral infarction. This paper mainly proposed a high frame rate imaging technology and analyzed its algorithm. In this article, in the experimental part, an in-depth analysis of the predictive value of the Monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) combined with thromboelastography parameters was performed for acute cerebral infarction. The final experimental results showed that HDL (OR = 1.695%, P-trend = 0.049) had a probability of death within 90 days of hospitalization (OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 1.06-3.11, P-trend = 0.523). There were no significant differences in mortality rate after 90 days. Regardless of adjusting for confounders such as age, gender, and NIHSS score, there was no significant difference in the risk of MHR or monocyte count within 90 days of hospitalization.

RÉSUMÉ

Metasurface enables the generation and manipulation of multiphoton entanglement with flat optics, providing a more efficient platform for large-scale photonic quantum information processing. Here, we show that a single metasurface optical device would allow more efficient characterizations of multiphoton entangled states, such as shadow tomography, which generally requires fast and complicated control of optical setups to perform information-complete measurements, a demanding task using conventional optics. The compact and stable device here allows implementations of general positive operator valued measures with a reduced sample complexity and significantly alleviates the experimental complexity to implement shadow tomography. Integrating self-learning and calibration algorithms, we observe notable advantages in the reconstruction of multiphoton entanglement, including using fewer measurements, having higher accuracy, and being robust against experimental imperfections. Our work unveils the feasibility of metasurface as a favorable integrated optical device for efficient characterization of multiphoton entanglement, and sheds light on scalable photonic quantum technologies with ultra-thin optical devices.
