Tapering-pressure VAC therapy for wound exudation in POPF after pancreatoduodenectomy: a single-center experience.

Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD) is the only effective treatment for the peri-ampullar carcinoma. However, postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF) is the most intractable complication causing relevant mortality. Moreover, pancreatic juice may exude from the wound that would lead to more serious complications.

Tunable dynamic engineering of cellular NAD boosts the production of antibiotics in actinomycetes.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) homeostasis is crucial for secondary metabolism in antibiotic-producing actinomycetes. However, NAD-based dynamic control strategies for boosting antibiotic titers have not been reported. We identified SACE_1905, an alcohol dehydrogenase in Saccharopolyspora erythraea, which converts NADH to NAD.

REEP3 is a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker correlated with immune infiltration in pancreatic cancer.

Receptor Expression-Enhancing Protein 3 (REEP3) serves as a pivotal enzyme crucial for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) clearance during mitosis and is implicated in the advancement of diverse malignancies. Nonetheless, the biological role and mechanisms of REEP3 in pancreatic cancer patients, along with its interplay with immune infiltration, remain inadequately elucidated. In this study, we initially analyzed the differential expression of REEP3 between pancreatic cancer tissues and normal pancreas tissues using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), GTEx and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases.

Crosstalk of TetR-like regulator SACE_4839 and a nitrogen regulator for erythromycin biosynthesis.

TetR family transcriptional regulators (TFRs) are widespread in actinomycetes, which exhibit diverse regulatory modes in antibiotic biosynthesis. Nitrogen regulators play vital roles in modulation of primary and secondary metabolism. However, crosstalk between TFR and nitrogen regulator has rarely been reported in actinomycetes.
