Recently, there has been increasing evidence indicating that the CC chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8) plays an important role in mediating recruitment and immunosuppressive function of regulatory T (Treg) cells tumor microenvironment. Therefore, development a specific CCR8 antagonist presents potential therapeutic strategy against cancer. Despite few small molecules having reported as antagonists, none progressed to clinical stage. Herein, we described potent selective (compound 1, IPG7236) first...

β-lactoglobulin (BLG) is the primary allergen in bovine milk allergy. The identification of key amino acids BLG epitopes has not been comprehensive due to differences methods, patient symptoms, and population characteristics. In this study, bioinformatics predictions were conducted for based on two potential IgE linear BLG. Then, peptide AA30-43 was confirmed as an epitope through alanine scanning mutagenesis microarray assays, with four (A34, A37, R40, V41) common different symptoms being...

To achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) proposed by United Nations, research on consumption efficiency has become particularly important. This evaluates 270 cities in China through an improved EBM model finds a common phenomenon low cities, with highest northeast lowest eastern China. In addition, industrial exhaust emissions most...

Research have shown that sleep is associated with renal function. However, the potential effects of duration or quality on kidney function in middle-aged and older Chinese adults normal has rarely been studied. Our study aimed to investigate association adults. Four thousand eighty six participants an eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 at baseline were enrolled between 2011 2015 from China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study. Survey questionnaire data collected conducted interviews 2011. The was...

Abstract The attainment of a regionally balanced carbon budget is fundamental for the realization neutrality. This study involved quantification related to land use across Southeast China from 2005 2020, which was achieved through calculation both emissions and sinks. Subsequently, we scrutinized mechanisms driving observed dynamic changes in budget, pinpointed impact land-use efficiency (LUE) on proposed sustainable spatial planning management strategies diverse functional areas at county...

The current research on interaction between catechin and protein has focused non-covalent crosslinking, however, the mechanism of free radical-induced crosslinking β-lactoglobulin (BLG) is not known. In this study, BLG bound to four catechins [epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), (EGCG)]. structure change complex was investigated by circular dichroism spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy Acid 8-Anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS)...

Total ankle replacement (TAR) is a viable option for the treatment of end-stage arthritis. In China, INBONE-II implant only total prosthesis approved since 2016. The purpose this study to report large sample findings TAR with prosthesis.A 64 patients arthritis, who underwent primary using by same surgeon from 2016 2019, at single institution were included in retrospective, single-center study. Clinical data, radiographic findings, survival rate, and complications recorded assessed...
