Artificial intelligence in advanced gastric cancer: a comprehensive review of applications in precision oncology.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major global health challenge, particularly in its advanced stages where prognosis is poor, and treatment responses are heterogeneous. Precision oncology aims to tailor therapies, but current biomarkers have limitations. Artificial Intelligence (AI), encompassing machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), offers powerful tools to analyze complex, multi-dimensional data from advanced GC patients, including clinical records, genomics, imaging (radiomics), and digital pathology (pathomics).

Interfacial electroneutrality controls transport of asymmetric salts through charge-patterned mosaic membranes.

Membranes that selectively enhance target solute permeation while rejecting competing species are essential for precision separations. This study introduces charge-patterned mosaic membranes (CMMs) that selectively transport divalent asymmetric salts by leveraging a net-neutral membrane-solution interface. This mechanism, dictated by the charge ratio of positive and negative domains on the membrane surface and the balance of cations and anions in the salt, is supported by analytical, numerical, and experimental results.

Following the fabrication of copolymer membranes, additive manufacturing technologies can introduce reactive inks onto substrates to modify pore wall chemistries. However, large-scale implementation is hindered by a lack of systematic optimization.

ShuYu capsule alleviates emotional and physical symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder: Impact on ALLO decline and GABA receptor δ subunit in the PAG area.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe subtype of premenstrual syndrome in women of reproductive age, with its pathogenesis linked to the heightened sensitivity of type A γ -aminobutyric acid receptors (GABAR) to neuroactive steroid hormone changes, particularly allopregnanolone (ALLO). While a low dose of fluoxetine, a classic selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is commonly used as a first-line drug to alleviate emotional disorders in PMDD in clinical settings, its mechanism of action is related to ALLO-GABAA receptor function. However, treating PMDD requires attention to both emotional and physical symptoms, such as pain sensitivity.

Hypoxic preconditioning accelerates the healing of ischemic intestinal injury by activating HIF-1α/PPARα pathway-mediated fatty acid oxidation.

Hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) has been shown to improve organ tolerance to subsequent severe hypoxia or ischemia. However, its impact on intestinal ischemic injury has not been well studied. In this study, we evaluated the effects of HPC on intestinal ischemia in rats.

Superior energy storage properties in SrTiO-based dielectric ceramics through all-scale hierarchical architecture.

The restricted energy density in dielectric ceramic capacitors is challenging for their integration with advanced electronic systems. Numerous strategies have been proposed to boost the energy density at different scales or combine those multiscale effects. Herein, guided by all-scale synergistic design, we fabricated SrBiTiO ceramics doped with (BiNa)(ZrTi)O by sintering the nanopowders by solution combustion synthesis, which demonstrate exceptional energy storage performance (ESP).

Gut Microbiome-Estrobolome Profile in Reproductive-Age Women with Endometriosis.

Microbiota is associated with our bodily functions and microenvironment. A healthy, balanced gut microbiome not only helps maintain mucosal integrity, prevents translocation of bacterial content, and contributes to immune status, but also associates with estrogen metabolism. Gut dysbiosis and estrobolome dysfunction have hence been linked to certain estrogen-dependent diseases, including endometriosis.

The 14-3-3 protein is a kind of evolutionary ubiquitous protein family highly conserved in eukaryotes. Initially, 14-3-3 proteins were reported in mammalian nervous tissues, but in the last decade, their role in various metabolic pathways in plants established the importance of 14-3-3 proteins. In the present study, a total of 22 genes, also called general regulatory factors (), were identified in the peanut () genome, out of which 12 belonged to the ε group, whereas 10 of them belonged to the non- ε-group.

Cytochemical and comparative transcriptome analyses elucidate the formation and ecological adaptation of three types of pollen coat in Zingiberaceae.

Background: The pollen ornate surface of flowering plants has long fascinated and puzzled evolutionary biologists for their variety. Each pollen grain is contained within a pollen wall consisting of intine and exine, over which the lipoid pollen coat lies. The cytology and molecular biology of the development of the intine and exine components of the pollen wall are relatively well characterised.

Carboxypeptidase E Regulates Activity-Dependent TrkB Neuronal Surface Insertion and Hippocampal Memory.

Activity-dependent insertion of the tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) receptor into the plasma membrane can explain, in part, the preferential effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on active neurons and synapses; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Here, we report a novel function for carboxypeptidase E (CPE) in controlling chemical long-term potentiation stimuli-induced TrkB surface delivery in hippocampal neurons. Total internal reflection fluorescence assays and line plot assays showed that CPE facilitates TrkB transport from dendritic shafts to the plasma membrane.
