Correlation between CYP2B6 exonic gene polymorphisms and efavirenz plasma concentrations in Yi ethnic HIV/AIDS patients: a study from Sichuan province, China

Polymorphisms in the CYP2B6 Gene significantly impact efavirenz (EFV) metabolism and plasma levels, resulting in variability in both treatment effectiveness and toxicity among individuals. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the CYP2B6 polymorphisms and t...

CACA guidelines for the management of adult cancer pain

Abstract Cancer pain, one of the most prevalent and distressing symptoms in cancer patients, is closely associated with cancer diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, quality of life, and survival outcomes. Effective cancer pain management requires multidisciplinary collaborative a...

Cumulative body mass index burden from childhood to mid-adulthood in relation to subclinical cardiovascular outcomes: The potential mediating role of cardiovascular risk factors

The associations of long-term body mass index (BMI) exposure, including both cumulative burden and increasing trends from childhood to adulthood, with subclinical cardiovascular outcomes remain incompletely understood, especially across distinct life stages. This study aimed to e...

METTL3-mediated m6A modification of TP73-AS1 enhances HCC progression by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Tumor protein 73 antisense RNA 1 (TP73-AS1), a recently identified lncRNA, has been implicated in cancer occurrence, drug resistance, and prognosis; however, its function...

BifunctionalIonophores for Cuproptosis Activation:Dual Targeting of Copper and Fe–S Protein Homeostasis

Abstract Cellular resilience to therapy often arises from adaptive mechanisms that safeguard iron–sulfur (Fe–S) proteins. Here, we present a rational strategy to overcome such resilience by integrating two synergistic vulnerabilities, copper toxicity and Fe–S cluster homeostasis,...

Synthesis and Property Study on Homoaromatic Thiabenzenes

ABSTRACT Thiabenzenes, as nontraditional heterocycles, exhibit both ylide and aromatic character and pose challenges in synthesis, especially in asymmetric synthesis. Their aromaticity also lacks direct experimental evidence. This article introduces a new strategy for synthesizin...

PIGU expression is associated with poor prognosis and estimated immune cell infiltration in breast invasive carcinoma

Breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA) is a major cause of cancer-related mortality in women. PIGU , a subunit of the GPI-anchor biosynthesis complex, has been reported to be dysregulated in several cancers; however, its prognostic value and immune-related associations in BRCA remain u...

Enhancing Oligodendrogenesis Rescues Chronic Stress‐Induced Behavioral Disorders Involving Neuronal and Synaptic Reorganization

ABSTRACT Chronic stress induces psychiatric disorders, including depression and anxiety, yet effective therapies remain limited. Myelin in adult brains undergoes dynamic remodeling through oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) differentiation into oligodendrocytes (OLs) and the...

Structural Diversity and Differential Natural Pairings of MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1 Proteins Essential for Sexual Reproduction in Ophiocordyceps sinensis Strains

The MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1 proteins perform essential DNA-binding activities and regulation of the transcription of genes governing sexual reproduction in Ophiocordyceps sinensis. Previous studies have documented differential occurrence, alternative splicing, and transcriptional d...

PARP Inhibitors plus Anlotinib as Bridging Therapy for Armored CAR‐T Cells in Ovarian Cancer Enhances Infiltration and Antitumor Efficacy

ABSTRACT Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T cell therapy is largely ineffective in most solid tumors, partially because of inadequate intratumoral trafficking. Bridging therapy, administered between leukapheresis and CAR‐T cell infusion, offers a distinct opportunity to control th...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation normalizes cerebrocerebellar loop functional connectivity in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by ataxia; structural and functional damage to the cerebrocerebellar loop play key roles in its pathology. However, effective treatments for SCA3 remain limited. Repetitive...

Dual Regulation of ACSL3 by TRIM33-Mediated Ubiquitination and NBR1-Dependent Autophagy: A Therapeutic Target for Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Background: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a key contributor to stroke-related neurological damage, but the functional interplay between autophagy and ferroptosis—two critical pathological processes—remains poorly understood. Methods: Using oxygen-glucose deprivat...

Age-related prognostic disparities in cutaneous melanoma: A population-based study and validated interactive web-based nomogram for individualized prognostic stratification

Background Cutaneous melanoma (CM) in older adults (≥65 years) has distinct clinicopathological features and poorer survival than in younger adults. We evaluated age-related cancer-specific survival (CSS), prognostic associations, and an interactive web-based nomogram. Methods We...

Dual-organelle–coordinated sonodynamic nanoplatform amplifies immunogenic cell death to drive robust antitumor immunity in cold tumors

Immune-excluded “cold” tumors are characterized by dense stromal barriers, limited cytotoxic T-cell infiltration, and insufficient immunogenic cell death (ICD), which collectively restrict the efficacy of immunotherapy. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and triple-negative...

RPPH1 drives ovarian cancer cells proliferation via CDK9-c-Myc axis

Dysregulation of the proto-oncogene c-Myc is a critical driver of ovarian cancer progression, yet the mechanisms governing its expression remain incompletely characterized. A systematic bioinformatic analysis was used to screen long non-coding RNA involved in the regulation of c-...

SERPINC1-mediated hereditary antithrombin deficiency with refractory pulmonary embolism: successful treatment with VA-ECMO and interventional thrombus aspiration

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) carries substantial global morbidity and mortality, with 50%–60% of disease variability attributed to genetic factors. Hereditary antithrombin deficiency (HATD), caused by pathogenic variants in the SERPINC1 gene, is an autosomal dominant thrombophili...

Benchmark evaluation of OpenAI-o1 vs DeepSeek-R1 for junior anesthesiologists in Chinese hospitals: hazards of fast large language models use in high-stakes specialties

Abstract Purpose Junior physicians may experience critical competency gaps during the transition to unsupervised practice, particularly in high-risk specialties such as anesthesiology, where errors can compromise patient safety. Although large language models (LLMs) are being rap...

Targeting Hippocampal PTEN Suppresses Ferroptosis and Rescues Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease via Dual AKT/GSK3β/Nrf2 and AKT/STAT3 Axes

Elevated phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression is observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, yet the precise mechanism through which PTEN contributes to AD progression remains undefined. This study provides the direct evidence that PTEN promotes neurodegeneration by d...

Rapamycin‐nanoliposomes target the mTORC1 ‐mediated autophagy–lysosomal and NLRP3 /Caspase‐1 pathways to inhibit nucleus pulposus cell senescence in intervertebral discs

Abstract Nucleus pulposus (NP) cell quiescence maintains intervertebral disc homeostasis, while mTORC1 regulates autophagy–lysosomal function and inflammatory secretion to preserve quiescence—rapamycin specifically targets mTORC1. Herein, we fabricated rapamycin‐nanoliposomes (ra...

Mitochondrial MAP4 regulates keratinocyte autophagy, apoptosis, and migration upon wounding through BCL2/SIRT5 functional coupling under hypoxia: an experimental in vitro study

Microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4) phosphorylates and translocates to the outer mitochondrial membrane, thus promoting keratinocyte migration under hypoxia; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Given that a BCL2 homology 3-like (BH3-like) domain has been previo...
