Coupling Nanoscale Precision with Multiscale Imaging: A Multifunctional Near-Infrared Dye for the Brain.

Live imaging of primary neural cells is crucial for monitoring neuronal activity, especially multiscale and multifunctional imaging that offers excellent biocompatibility. Multiscale imaging can provide insights into cellular structure and function from the nanoscale to the millimeter scale. Multifunctional imaging can monitor different activities in the brain. However, this remains a challenge because of the lack of dyes with a high signal-to-background ratio, water solubility, and multiscale and multifunctional imaging capabilities. In this study, we present a neural dye with near-infrared (NIR) emissions (>700 nm) that enables ultrafast staining (in less than 1 min) for the imaging of primary neurons. This dye not only enables multiscale neural live-cell imaging from vesicles in neurites, neural membranes, and single neurons to the whole brain but also facilitates multifunctional imaging, such as the monitoring and quantifying of synaptic vesicles and the changes in membrane potential. We also explore the potential of this NIR neural dye for staining brain slices and live brains. The NIR neural dye exhibits superior binding with neural membranes compared to commercial dyes, thereby achieving multiscale and multifunctional brain neuroimaging. In conclusion, our findings introduce a significant breakthrough in neuroimaging dyes by developing a category of small molecular dyes.

Three-dimensional liquid metal-based neuro-interfaces for human hippocampal organoids.

Human hippocampal organoids (hHOs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have emerged as promising models for investigating neurodegenerative disorders, such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. However, obtaining the electrical information of these free-floating organoids in a noninvasive manner remains a challenge using commercial multi-electrode arrays (MEAs). The three-dimensional (3D) MEAs developed recently acquired only a few neural signals due to limited channel numbers. Here, we report a hippocampal cyborg organoid (cyb-organoid) platform coupling a liquid metal-polymer conductor (MPC)-based mesh neuro-interface with hHOs. The mesh MPC (mMPC) integrates 128-channel multielectrode arrays distributed on a small surface area (~2*2 mm). Stretchability (up to 500%) and flexibility of the mMPC enable its attachment to hHOs. Furthermore, we show that under Wnt3a and SHH activator induction, hHOs produce HOPX+ and PAX6+ progenitors and ZBTB20+PROX1+ dentate gyrus (DG) granule neurons. The transcriptomic signatures of hHOs reveal high similarity to the developing human hippocampus. We successfully detect neural activities from hHOs via the mMPC from this cyb-organoid. Compared with traditional planar devices, our non-invasive coupling offers an adaptor for recording neural signals from 3D models.

Correlation Between Serum 1,25(OH)2D3, Serum Phosphorus, and Parathyroid Hormone and Parathyroid Function After Central Lymph Node Dissection in Patients with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

This work was to demonstrate the relationship between serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), serum phosphorus (SP), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid function after central lymph node dissection (CLND) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). 200 PTC patients after CLND were included, who were rolled into a control group (CG) (n = 89 cases without hypoparathyroidism) and an observation group (OG) (n = 111 cases with complicated hypoparathyroidism). The 1,25(OH)2D3, SP, and PTH levels were detected, and the diagnostic effect of these indicators was assessed. The serum PTH levels of patients in CG after surgery were normal relative to those before surgery, while the serum PTH of patients in OG was relatively lower. 1,25(OH)2D3 concentration of patients in OG was also inferior to CG, while the SP level was superior (P < 0.05). Hypoparathyroidism was positively correlated with serum PTH (r = 0.382) and 1,25(OH)2D3 (r = 0.321) and negatively correlated with SP (r = - 0.211). The area under the curve (AUC) (0.893), sensitivity (90.83%), and specificity (94.77%) of the joint diagnosis of 1,25(OH)2D3 + SP + PTH were greatly superior to those of the single diagnosis and the pairwise diagnosis with the three indicators (P < 0.05). Hypoparathyroidism in patients with PTC after CLND surgery was positively correlated with 1,25(OH)2D3 and PTH and negatively correlated with SP concentration. In addition, the combination diagnosis of 1,25(OH)2D3, PTH, and SP worked well.

Application of deep learning image reconstruction combined with computer-aided diagnosis in CT screening of pulmonary nodules / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To analyze the effects of deep learning image reconstruction(DLIR)and adaptive statistical iterative recon-struction V(ASIR-V)on the imaging quality of chest CT in patient with pulmonary nodules,and to evaluate the differences based on different image reconstruction techniques in the detection of efficiency of computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)for pulmonary nodules.Methods The image data of pulmonary nodules of eighty patients with chest CT screening were reconstructed with ASIR-V 80％,DLIR-low(DLIR-L),DLIR-medium(DLIR-M)and DLIR-high(DLIR-H)images,respectively.The objective image quality and sub-jective image quality of the four groups were compared and analyzed.Objective image quality includes CT value of region of interest(ROI),noise,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)and image average gradient.The diagnostic efficacy of CAD in detecting pulmonary nodules of reconstructed images among four groups were further evaluated.Results There were no signifi-cant difference in CT value of ROI of reconstructed images among the four groups(P＞0.05).The noise,SNR and CNR of DLIR-H images were similar to those of ASIR-V 80％(P＞0.05),but significantly better than those of DLIR-L and DLIR-M(P＜0.05).The average gradient of DLIR-L,DLIR-M and DLIR-H images were significantly higher than those of ASIR-V 80％(P＜0.05).The subjective image quality scores of DLIR-L,DLIR-M and DLIR-H images were significantly higher than those of ASIR-V 80％(P＜0.05),and the subjective image quality score of DLIR-H image was the highest.CAD showed the highest true positive rate in DLIR-H images for detecting pulmonary nodules(P＜0.05),and CAD showed the highest false positives per capita in ASIR-V 80％images for detecting pulmonary nodules(P＜0.05).Conclusion The noise,SNR and CNR of DLIR-H images are similar to those of ASIR-V 80％,with the significantly higher image clarity and subjective image quality scores.DLIR-H has advantages in CAD detection of pulmonary nodules,which is an ideal image reconstruction technology for chest CT pulmonary nodule screening.

Advances in the application of machine learning in the identification and authentication of synthetic cannabinoids / 中国药科大学学报

@#Abstract: Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) are synthetic psychoactive substances that can pose a public health risk. The SCs are structurally variable and susceptible to structural modification. The rapid emergence of structurally unknown synthetic cannabinoids has led to new challenges in their identification. In recent years, machine learning has made great progress and has been widely applied to other fields, providing new strategies for the identification of unknown synthetic cannabinoids and the inference of possible sources. This paper describes the principles of commonly used machine learning methods and the application of machine learning techniques to mass spectrometry, Raman spectroscopy, metabolomics and quantitative conformational relationships of synthetic cannabinoids, aiming to provide new ideas for the identification of unknown synthetic cannabinoids.

Stretchable surface electromyography electrode array patch for tendon location and muscle injury prevention.

Surface electromyography (sEMG) can provide multiplexed information about muscle performance. If current sEMG electrodes are stretchable, arrayed, and able to be used multiple times, they would offer adequate high-quality data for continuous monitoring. The lack of these properties delays the widespread use of sEMG in clinics and in everyday life. Here, we address these constraints by design of an adhesive dry electrode using tannic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, and PEDOT:PSS (TPP). The TPP electrode offers superior stretchability (~200%) and adhesiveness (0.58 N/cm) compared to current electrodes, ensuring stable and long-term contact with the skin for recording (>20 dB; >5 days). In addition, we developed a metal-polymer electrode array patch (MEAP) comprising liquid metal (LM) circuits and TPP electrodes. The MEAP demonstrated better conformability than commercial arrays, resulting in higher signal-to-noise ratio and more stable recordings during muscle movements. Manufactured using scalable screen-printing, these MEAPs feature a completely stretchable material and array architecture, enabling real-time monitoring of muscle stress, fatigue, and tendon displacement. Their potential to reduce muscle and tendon injuries and enhance performance in daily exercise and professional sports holds great promise.

Over-expression of programmed death-ligand 1 and programmed death-1 on antigen-presenting cells as a predictor of organ dysfunction and mortality during early sepsis: a prospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the changes of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) expression on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and evaluate their association with organ failure and mortality during early sepsis. METHODS: In total, 40 healthy controls and 198 patients with sepsis were included in this study. Peripheral blood was collected within the first 24 h after the diagnosis of sepsis. The expression of PD-L1 and PD-1 was determined on APCs, such as B cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells (DCs), by flow cytometry. Cytokines in plasma, such as interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17A were determined by Luminex assay. RESULTS: PD-1 expression decreased significantly on B cells, monocytes, myeloid DCs (mDCs), and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) as the severity of sepsis increased. PD-1 expression was also markedly decreased in non-survivors compared with survivors. In contrast, PD-L1 expression was markedly higher on mDCs, pDCs, and monocytes in patients with sepsis than in healthy controls and in non-survivors than in survivors. The PD-L1 expression on APCs (monocytes and DCs) was weakly related to organ dysfunction and inflammation. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the PD-1 percentage of monocytes (monocyte PD-1%)+APACHE II model (0.823) and monocyte PD-1%+SOFA model (0.816) had higher prognostic value than other parameters alone. Monocyte PD-1% was an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality. CONCLUSION: The severity of sepsis was correlated with PD-L1 or PD-1 over-expression on APCs. PD-L1 in monocytes and DCs was weakly correlated with inflammation and organ dysfunction during early sepsis. The combination of SOFA or APACHE II scores with monocyte PD-1% could improve the prediction ability for mortality.

Fast Coating of Polydopamine Enables Scratch/Moisture Resistant Flexible Electronics.

High biocompatibility and stability against water and scratch are crucial for liquid metal-based flexible electronics. Although previous studies have reported the chemical modification of liquid metal nanoparticles which can promote their water-stability and solution-processability, the modification process is complicated and hard to scale up. In particular, polydopamine (PD)-coated liquid metal nanoparticles (LMNPs) have not been used in flexible devices. We report the synthesis of the PD on LMNPs by thermal processing, which is controllable, fast, straightforward, and scalable. Because of the adhesiveness of PD, the PD@LM ink enables high-resolution printing on many substrates. The circuit printed by PD@LM shows high stability against repeated stretch in water (sustaining cardiomyocyte beating for 1 month─around 3 million times) and scratch. This conductive ink is highly biocompatible, conductive (4000 s/cm), and stretchable (up to 800% elongation). We cultured cardiomyocytes onto the PD@LM electrode and recorded the membrane potential change under electrical stimulation. For in vivo use, we fabricated a stable electrode to detect the electrocardiogram signal of a beating heart.

The estrogen/miR-338-3p/ADAM17 axis enhances the viability of breast cancer cells via suppressing NK cell's function.

Natural killer (NK) cells are the critical elements of the innate immune response and implicated in rapidly recognizing and eliminating cancer cells. However, the tumor-suppressive ability of NK cells is often impaired in several cancer types. The critical roles of microRNAs have been elucidated by increasing evidences, while the regulation of miR-338-3p in anti-tumor activation of NK cells and its relationship with estrogen in breast cancer (BC) are still confusing. Here, miR-338-3p level was found to be significantly downregulated in BC tissues and estrogen receptor positive (ER+ ) cells, this difference was more obvious in ER+ patients or BC patients at advanced stage (TNM III and IV). MiR-338-3p level was shown to be downregulated by 17ß-estradiol in BC cells (MDA-MB-231 cells and MCF-7) in vitro. MiR-338-3p overexpression decreased disintegrin and metalloprotease-17 (ADAM17) secretion in MDA-MB-231 (ER- ) and MCF-7 (ER+ ) cells. In addition, miR-338-3p overexpression or treatment with anti-ADAM17 antibody could down-regulate granzyme B, CD16, and NKG2D in NK cells, which was reversed by human recombinant ADAM17. Furthermore, these educated NK cells could promote the viability of MDA-MB-231 or MCF-7 cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate that miR-338-3p was negatively regulated by estrogen in BC cells, impairing NK cell's activity by the up-regulation of ADAM17, and conversely promoted the viability of BC cells. Therefore, the estrogen/miR-338-3p/ADAM17 axis is critically implicated in BC pathogenesis and may provide potential targets for BC diagnosis and treatment.

[Effect of acupotomy on the fat infiltration degree of lumbar multifidus muscle in patients with lumbar disc herniation after percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy].

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of acupotomy on the fat infiltration degree of lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM) in patients with lumbar disc herniation after percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED). METHODS: A total of 104 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated with PTED were randomly divided into an observation group (52 cases, 3 cases dropped off) and a control group (52 cases, 4 cases dropped off). Patients of both groups received rehabilitation training of two weeks 48 h after PTED treatment. The observation group was treated with acupotomy (L3-L5 Jiaji [EX-B 2]) once within 24 h after PTED. In the two groups, the fat infiltration cross sectional area (CSA) of LMM was compared before and 6 months after PTED, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) score were observed before and 1, 6 months after PTED. The correlation between fat infiltration CSA of LMM in each segment and VAS score was analyzed. RESULTS: Six months after PTED, the fat infiltration CSA of LMM in L4/L5 and the total L3-S1 segments of the observation group was lower than that before PTED (P<0.05), and the fat infiltration CSA of LMM in L4/L5 of the observation group was lower than the control group (P<0.01). One month after PTED, the ODI and VAS scores of the two groups were lower than those before PTED (P<0.01), and those in the observation group were lower than the control group (P<0.05). Six months after PTED, the ODI and VAS scores of the two groups were lower than those before PTED and 1 month after PTED (P<0.01), and those in the observation group were lower than the control group (P<0.01). There was a positive correlation between the fat infiltration CSA of LMM in the total L3-S1 segments and VAS scores in the two groups before PTED (r = 0.64, P<0.01). Six months after PTED, there was no correlation between the fat infiltration CSA of LMM in each segment and VAS scores in the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupotomy can improve the fat infiltration degree of LMM, pain symptoms and activities of daily living in patients with lumbar disc herniation after PTED.

Green Synthesis of Liquid Metal-Doped Carbon Dots for Treating Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria.

Global emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacteria triggers severe infections that result in an epidemic. It is urgent to discover novel classes of antibacterial agents. Here, a green route for synthesizing polyethylene glycol-based carbon dots (PEG-CDs) doped with liquid metal (LM-Cdots) via a solvent-free system is presented. LM-Cdots synthesized via ultrasound exhibit great antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, and A. baumannii) and their multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical isolates. In the in vitro antibacterial test with MDR K. pneumoniae, LM-Cdots show an extremely low minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of 0.63 µg mL-1 . Compared to naked PEG-CDs, the MIC is improved by 1000 times. In vivo results reveal that LM-Cdots can accelerate wound healing with low biotoxicity and inflammation.

Advances in preclinical studies on borneol as an adjuvant for glioma / 药学实践与服务

Glioma is a common primary malignant brain tumor. At present, the main clinical treatment is surgical resection combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Due to the selective permeability of the blood-brain barrier and the characteristics of multi-drug resistance of tumor cells, the therapeutic effect is not ideal. In recent years, studies have found that borneol could open the blood-brain barrier and promote the infiltration of chemotherapy drugs. When borneol is combined with or co-carried with chemotherapy drugs, chemotherapy drugs could target more glioma tissues and increase efficacy. The preclinical studies on the combination of borneol and chemotherapy drugs in recent years were reviewed in this article, in order to provide useful reference for the treatment of glioma.

Research on monitoring method of dripping pills dripping process based on laser detection and multivariate data analysis technology / 药学学报

At present, the digitalization and intelligence level of dripping pills production process is low, and there is a lack of process monitoring methods, which makes it difficult to effectively control the quality of dripping pills. Therefore, this paper proposed an online monitoring method for the dripping process of dripping pills based on laser detection technology and multivariate data analysis (MVDA) technology. Firstly, the width data of the falling droplets during the dripping process of the dripping pills were collected by the laser detector at a high frequency. Secondly, based on the width data, the nodes were selected for each droplet and the features were extracted. Then, the principal component analysis (PCA) model was established based on the feature dataset under normal process conditions, and Hotelling's T2 or DModX statistic was selected to determine whether the droplets in the dripping process were abnormal, and the abnormalities were classified and diagnosed by the principal component score map combined with K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. In this study, the feasibility of this method was investigated by taking the dripping process of Ginkgo biloba leaf dripping pills as an example. The results showed that the obtained model has good detection and diagnosis ability for abnormal valve opening, abnormal liquid temperature, and abnormal liquid volume. This method can provide some reference for the industrial production of dripping pills.

Relationship between the inserting sites of Fu's subcutaneous needling and traditional acupoints: revelation to acupuncture and moxibustion / 中国针灸

Focusing on the phenomenon of "de-acupoints" of the needle insertion sites in Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN), the authors allocated the evolution and characteristics of the needle insertion sites of FSN. From six aspects, named morphology and structure, location, nomenclature, numbers and meridian tropism, indications and acupuncture manipulations, the comparison was made between the insertion sites of FSN and traditional acupoints. It is believed: ①The needle insertion sites of FSN has the basic attributes of acupoint, which not only refers to the operation site, but also indicates the reaction of disease; moreover, it is the treatment site with significant therapeutic effect. ②The optimized sites of insertion in FSN should be named differently and their locations and numbers should be specified relatively. ③The insertion sites of FSN should be further intersected and integrated with traditional acupoints, and a part of traditional acupoints should become the insertion sites of FSN. ④Accepting and integrating the insertion sites of FSN, and expanding the scope of traditional acupoints may be the new project in the research of traditional acupoints.

Glutathione S-transferase genetic polymorphisms and fluoride-induced reproductive toxicity in men with idiopathic infertility / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

Male infertility caused by idiopathic oligoasthenospermia (OAT) is known as idiopathic male infertility. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) and fluoride may play important roles in idiopathic male infertility, but their effects are still unknown. Our study examined the relationship between GST polymorphisms and fluoride-induced toxicity in idiopathic male infertility and determined the underlying mechanism. Sperm, blood, and urine samples were collected from 560 males. Fluoride levels were measured by a highly selective electrode method, and GST genotypes were identified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Semen parameters, DNA fragmentation index (DFI), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and oxidative stress (OS) biomarkers were statistically assessed at the P < 0.05 level. Compared with healthy fertile group, semen parameters, fluoride levels, OS biomarkers, sex hormone levels, and MMP and DFI levels were lower in the idiopathic male infertility group. For glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1[-]) and glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1[-]) or glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) mutant genotypes, levels of semen fluoride, OS, MMP, and DFI were considerably higher, and the mean levels of sperm parameters and testosterone were statistically significant in GSTM1(+), GSTT1(+), and GSTP1 wild-type genotypes. Both semen and blood fluoride levels were associated with oxidative stress in idiopathic male infertility patients. Elevated fluoride in semen with the genotypes listed above was linked to reproductive quality in idiopathic male infertility patients. In conclusion, GST polymorphisms and fluorine may have an indicative relationship between reproductive quality and sex hormone levels, and OS participates in the development of idiopathic male infertility.
