Synergistic cancer starvation/ROS-mediated/chemo-therapy is developed through a cascade reaction with enzyme glucose oxidase (GOX) modified on the surface of an Fe-based metal organic framework (MOF(Fe)) and drug camptothecin (CPT) loaded into cavities MOF(Fe). Once internalized by tumor cells, GOX catalyzes endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) gluconic acid (H+) enabling starvation therapy choking off energy (glucose) supply. Meanwhile, acidic micro-environment enhanced generated H+ degrades...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a clinically prevalent bacterium and resistant to many drugs. Genetic factors such as mec genes are considered be responsible for this resistance. Recently, Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome (SCCmec) element mutations produced mecC, new genetic variant that encodes transpeptidase enzyme (63% similarity with mecA-encoded PBP2a). This cross-sectional study was conducted establish the prevalence of mecA mecC among phenotypically identified...

Exploiting zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-based nanoparticles to synergistically enhance starvation-combined chemotherapy strategies remains an urgent demand. Herein, glucose oxidase (GOX) and doxorubicin (DOX) were facilely incorporated into ZIFs for chemotherapy. The as-prepared DOX/GOX-loaded ZIF (DGZ) exhibited uniform size with good dispersity, effective protection of the GOX activity, stable delivery drugs tumor. Correspondingly, it could achieve glucose- pH-responsive...

A novel scheme to perform the fusion of multiple images using multivariate empirical mode decomposition (MEMD) algorithm is proposed. Standard multi-scale techniques make a priori assumptions regarding input data, whereas standard univariate (EMD)-based suffer from inherent mixing and misalignment issues, characterized respectively by either single intrinsic function (IMF) containing scales or same indexed IMFs corresponding carrying different frequency information. We show that MEMD...
