Identification of potential urinary protein biomarkers in colorectal cancer: a pilot study using a proteomic approach

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most diagnosed malignancies worldwide, and it is also the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite recent progress in screening programs, noninvasive accurate biomarkers are still needed in the CRC field. In this study, we evaluated and compared the urinary proteomic profiles of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma and patients without cancer, aiming to identify potential biomarker proteins. Urine samples were collected from 9 patients with CRC and 9 patients with normal colonoscopy results. Mass spectrometry (label-free LC—MS/MS) was used to characterize the proteomic profile of the groups. Ten proteins that were differentially regulated were identified between patients in the experimental group and in the control group, with statistical significance with a p value ≤ 0.05. The only protein that presented upregulation in the CRC group was beta-2-microglobulin (B2M). Subsequent studies are needed to evaluate patients through different analysis approaches to independently verify and validate these biomarker candidates in a larger cohort sample. (AU)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Neurodegenerative Disease: From Methods to Translational Research / 神经科学通报·英文版

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) have become a significant threat to an aging human society. Numerous studies have been conducted in the past decades to clarify their pathologic mechanisms and search for reliable biomarkers. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for investigating structural and functional brain alterations in NDs. With the advantages of being non-invasive and non-radioactive, it has been frequently used in both animal research and large-scale clinical investigations. MRI may serve as a bridge connecting micro- and macro-level analysis and promoting bench-to-bed translational research. Nevertheless, due to the abundance and complexity of MRI techniques, exploiting their potential is not always straightforward. This review aims to briefly introduce research progress in clinical imaging studies and discuss possible strategies for applying MRI in translational ND research.

Standardize the diagnosis and treatment of drug-induced liver injury, and strengthen clinical and translational research / 中华肝脏病杂志

As a liver disease with the most complex clinical phenotype, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) poses great challenges in diagnosis and management in clinical practice. Although guidelines based on the latest research advances can provide clinicians with guidance on the identification, diagnosis, and management of DILI, the overall level of evidence in this field is relatively low and high-level evidence is limited. Therefore, we should interpret guidelines with caution and look forward to more clinical and translational research to address the huge unmet clinical needs in DILI.

Nurse-led translational research: An emerging field in multidisciplinary research

Translational research is well-known concept in healthcare still nurse-led translational research is an emerging area of multidisciplinary nursing research. This study intends to offer an in-depth look at translational research and the process for its applications in nursing education, practice, and research. Nurses, educators, researchers, and policymakers will better understand nurse scientists’ expanded role in education and clinical practice. This paper will assist the nurse educators, researchers to stay informed of translational research and its nursing impact. To develop a narrative synthesis study, a detailed systematic literature review was conducted in Pub Med, Web of Sciences, Scopus, ProQuest, Ovid using the keywords “translational research,” “nursing,” “implementation science,” “barriers in translational research” themes generated in selected paper are discussed in detail in this paper. 32 articles were found to be relevant to discuss the concepts of translational research in nursing practices. In contrast to basic research, translational research works cooperatively to assess the efficacy of evidence from the bench to the bed, from one realm to another. It requires the transparent method for dealing with roadblocks, such as following evidence-based recommendations while assessing evidence, so that policymakers can determine whether to embrace them for the development of the health-care system. Nurse-led translational research under the direction of a nurse scientist has the potential to advance nursing excellence in both clinical and community health settings.
