Analysis of target compounds in individual small organisms is significant importance for biological, environmental, medicinal, and toxicological investigation. In this study, we reported the development a novel solid-phase microextraction (SPME) based ambient mass spectrometry (MS) method named surface-coated probe nanoelectrospray ionization (SCP-nanoESI)-MS analysis with sizes at micrometer-to-millimeter level. SCP-nanoESI-MS involves three procedures: (1) modification adsorbent surface...

Nanoparticles are attractive platforms for the delivery of various anticancer therapeutics. Nevertheless, their applications still limited by relatively low drug loading capacity and occurrence multidrug resistance (MDR) against chemotherapeutics. In this study, we report that integration d-α-tocopherol succinate (VES) residue with both chitosan paclitaxel (PTX) led to significant improvement efficiency through enhancement drug/carrier interaction. After incorporation hyaluronic acid...

The widespread use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) has resulted in their release to the environment. There been concern about ecotoxicity ZnO NPs, but little is known toxic mechanisms. In present study, we conducted acute toxicity tests show that NPs are more freshwater crustacean Daphnia pulex compared bulk or ZnSO4·7H2O. To provide an integrated and quantitative insights into isobaric tags for relative absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteomic analysis, which detected 262, 331, 360...

Abstract Bovine milk is rich in extracellular vesicles (mEVs) which have been suggested as a possible drug delivery vehicle with oral bioavailability. As the digestive fluids contain many lipid‐ and protein‐degrading enzymes, we explored whether mEVs given sublingually could be taken up systemically. were isolated using three different protocols, 120 nm diameter carried bovine CD81. Fluorescently stained by sublingual route detected circulation, whereas gavage at 2‐Log lower concentrations....

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting articular joints and skeletal muscle. To assess the role of cytokines upon muscle strength in RA, we developed an vitro tissue-engineered human model (myobundle). Myobundles were generated using primary cells from vastus lateralis RA patients age-matched healthy controls. myobundles more sensitive to 5 ng/mL IFN-γ, exhibiting reduced contractile force altered contraction kinetics. Addition IL-6 with or without IFN-γ led...

Skeletal muscle disease in patients with early-stage rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is understudied. The objective of this study was to identify whether early RA (symptoms <6 months) have impaired skeletal health. Participants (n = 10) and age-, sex-, BMI-matched healthy controls underwent cross-sectional clinical, physiological, biomechanical property assessments. Upper lower extremity muscles vivo passive property-tone, stiffness, elasticity-assessments via myotonometry (MyotonPro®). In vitro...

Despite widespread acknowledgment of the impact stressful life events on suicide risk, understanding psychological mechanisms underlying relationship between and risk in major depressive disorder (MDD) remain unclear. This study aim to examine whether distress tolerance mediates patients with MDD.A cross-sectional was carried out among 125 Chinese MDD, mean age 27.05 (SD=0.68) 68.8% were females. The 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating scale (HAMD-17), validated version Mini International...

Vascular calcification (VC), a major complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD), is predominantly driven by osteoblastic differentiation. Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of microRNAs CKD's pathogenesis. Here, our research focused on effects miR-204-5p and its molecular mechanisms within VC. We initially found notable decrease levels human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells stimulated with inorganic phosphate, using this as VC model vitro. Following overexpression...

Abstract MYOD is an E-box sequence-specific basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcriptional activator that, when expressed in non-muscle cells, induces nuclear reprogramming toward skeletal myogenesis by promoting chromatin accessibility at previously silent loci. Here, we report on the identification of a unrecognized property as repressor gene expression, via E-box-independent binding within accessible genomic elements, which invariably leads to reduced accessibility. MYOD-mediated...

Chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used clinical antitumor strategies. However, therapy-induced proliferative burst, which always accompanies drug resistance and metastasis, has become a major obstacle during treatment. Except for some endogenous cellular or genetic mechanisms microenvironmental selection pressures, intercellular connections in tumor microenvironment (TME) are also thought to be driving force acquired burst. Even though pathway inhibitors cell exempting strategies...

Aarskog(-Scott) syndrome (AAS) is characterized by short stature, and facial, limb, genital anomalies. AAS can be an X-linked condition caused mutations in the FGD1 gene, but there evidence that autosomal dominant or recessive form also exists. We report on a Chinese family whom several members have manifestations of AAS, differ limb anomalies show additional characteristics. sequencing linkage analysis excluded as cause this family.
