Background: Peritoneal malignancies (PM) represent a group of highly heterogeneous tumors associated with poor prognosis and limited effective treatment options. Recent studies have demonstrated significant progress in understanding the tumor microenvironment (TME) of PM. However, no bibliometric analysis focusing on PM and TME has been conducted.

Understanding and preventing PMN formation holds promise for enhancing immunotherapy efficacy and reducing cancer-related mortality. Despite the significance of this field, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis is lacking.

The nonstructural protein 11 (NSP11) of the causative agent, PRRS virus (PRRSV), contains a highly conserved nidoviral uridylate-specific endoribonuclease (NendoU) domain essential for viral replication and immune evasion. Targeting NSP11 offers a novel approach to antiviral intervention.

Recent studies have indicated that the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is an ideal therapeutic target for osteoporosis because it affects the differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. RNA sequencing utilizing multifunctional graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets revealed a correlation between GO nanomaterials and the NLRP3 inflammasome, as well as osteogenic genes in macrophages. This study aimed to construct a bone microenvironment-responsive multifunctional two-dimensional GO coating on the surface of microporous sulfonated polyetheretherketone (SPEEK) via polydopamine modification (SPEEK@PDA-GO).

Contaminants from wastewater of aquaculture are increasing the risks of red tides in coastal areas. Such types of contaminants are difficult to remove by using conventional biological and ecological treatment methods because of the relatively low C/N ratios and the high salinity in coastal water ambience. Fe is considered a key element in natural chemical cycling and promotes the growth of animals and plants as well.

Mainstream P-recovery can help wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to effectively maintain good enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) while helping to recover P. In this study, a pilot-scale anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic (AO) process was operated for simultaneous COD/N/P removal and P-recovery under different operational conditions. The operation with conventional extraction of waste activated sludge (WAS) from the aerobic reactor was compared to the mainstream P-recovery strategy of WAS extraction from the anaerobic reactor.

Chondroitin polymerizing factor (CHPF) is an important glycosyltransferases that participates in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate (CS). Our previous study showed that silencing CHPF expression inhibited glioma cell proliferation , but the molecular mechanisms by which CHPF contributes to development of glioma have not been characterized. In this study, we found that CHPF was up-regulated in glioma tissues and was positively correlated with malignant clinical pathological characteristics of patients with glioma.

Constructed wetland (CW), an ecological water treatment system, can purify and repair the damaged saline water body in an open watershed, but its repairing function is limited at low temperature under salt stress. In this study, two different plant species with slag-sponge layer were operated to enhance the purification effect of CW on the damaged saline water body. The results showed that the combination of Scirpus mariqueter and slag-sponges in CW had a better purification effect especially under the condition of salinity of 10‰ (S = 10) with a respective removal efficiency of 91.

Characterizing the transient ultratrace light-independent intracellular singlet oxygen (O), which plays a vital role in multiple biological processes in living organisms, brings about tremendous help for understanding the nature of O-mediated or related bioevents. Nevertheless, an approach to detect the light-independent intracellular O is hard to find. Herein, we developed a chemiluminescent nanosensor by compacting a great number of TPE-N(Ph)-DBT-PH molecules in one nanostructure via autoaggregation.

Growing evidences indicate DNA methylation plays a crucial regulatory role in inflammation, innate immunity, and immunotherapy. However, the overall landscape of various DNA methylation regulatory genes and their relationship with the infiltration of immune cells into the tumor microenvironment (TME) as well as the response to immunotherapy in gliomas is still not clear. Therefore, we comprehensively analyzed the correlation between DNA methylation regulator patterns, infiltration of immune cell-types, and tumor immune response status in gather glioma cohorts.
