Enhancing spatial domain detection in spatial transcriptomics with EnSDD.

Advancements in spatial transcriptomics have transformed our understanding of organ function and tissue microenvironment. However, accurately identifying spatial domains to depict genome heterogeneity and cellular interactions remains a challenge. In this study, we propose EnSDD (Ensemble-learning for Spatial Domain Detection), a method that ingeniously integrates eight state-of-the-art spatial domain detection methods to automatically identify spatial domains.

Astaxanthin Synergizes with Ionizing Radiation (IR) in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC).

Astaxanthin (ATX) is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammation functions yet its role in cancers requires more research. This study is aimed to reveal the potential synergetic effect of ATX with ionizing radiation (IR) in OSCC. Cell survival was measured after human OSCC cells including CAL27 and SCC9, and normal human oral keratinocytes (NHOKs) were treated with different concentrations of ATX for 24 h.

Exosome-mediated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) PART1 suppresses malignant progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma via miR-17-5p/SOCS6 axis.

Background: Exosomes derived from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) could modulate OSCC development. This study aimed to explore effects of exosome-mediated lncRNA PART1 on OSCC cells.

Methods: This study was performed in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute from February 2021 to March 2022.

CD73/NT5E is a Potential Biomarker for Cancer Prognosis and Immunotherapy for Multiple Types of Cancers.

Cluster of Differentiations 73 (CD73)/ecto-5'-nucleotidase (NT5E) is a novel type of immune molecular marker expressed on many tumor cells and involved in regulating the essential immune functions and affecting the prognosis of cancer patients. However, it is not clear how the NT5E is linked to the infiltration levels of the immune cells in pan-cancer patients and their final prognosis. This study explores the role of NT5E in 33 tumor types using GEPIA, TIMER, Oncomine, BioGPS databases, and several bioinformatic tools.

To explore the risk factors and preventive measures affecting the treatment of retrosternal goiter: An observational study.

The definition of substernal goiter (SG) is based on variable criteria, leading to considerable variations in the reported incidence (from 0.2% to 45%). The peri- and postoperative complications are higher in total thyroidectomy (TT) for SG than that for cervical goiter.

Immunological response in H22 transplanted mice undergoing Aconitum coreanum polysaccharide treatment.

In this study, a polysaccharide (ACP-a1), with a molecular weight of 3.2×10(5)Da, was successfully purified and identified from the roots of Aconitum coreanum (Lèvl.) Rapaics.

2,2'-(3,3'-Dihexyl-2,2'-bithio-phene-5,5'-di-yl)bis-(4,4,5,5-tetra-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane).

In the title mol-ecule, C(32)H(52)B(2)O(4)S(2), the two thio-phene rings are twisted by 67.34 (2)°. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules related by translation along the a axis into chains.

Diethyl [4-(1,3-benzothia-zol-2-yl)benz-yl]phospho-nate.

In the title mol-ecule, C(18)H(20)NO(3)PS, the benzene ring and the benzothia-zole mean plane are almost coplanar, forming a dihedral angle of 2.29 (2)°. The two ethyl groups are each disordered over two conformations in ratios that refined to 0.

1,4-Bis(4-chloro-phen-yl)butane-1,4-dione.

The mol-ecule of title compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(2)O(2), is centrosymmetric. Thus, the asymmetric unit comprises two half-mol-ecules. The two benzene rings are coplanar in each independent molecule (dihedral angles = 0°).

(m-Phenyl-enedimethyl-ene)diammonium dichloride.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(14)N(2) (2+)·2Cl(-), contains one and a half of the dications and three chloride anions. The half molecule is completed by crystallographic twofold symmetry with two C atoms lying on the rotation axis. The two ammonium groups in each cation adopt a trans conformation with respect ot the benzene ring.

1-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)-3-(2-nitro-phenyl)propane-1,2-dione.

The title compound, C(15)H(10)ClNO(4), belongs to the class of 1,2-diketones, which have important applications in both synthetic organic chemistry and supra-molecular chemistry. A dihedral angle of 9.03 (1)° is found between the mean planes of the two benzene rings.
