Article Abstract

Background: Jugular foramen tumors, particularly those that are triple dumbbell-shaped with intracranial, intraforaminal, and extracranial extensions, are difficult to access surgically. However, advances in neuroimaging, neuromonitoring, and skull base surgery have enabled their safe resection with lower rates of morbidity and mortality.

Method: We share our experience with the surgical technique for the management of triple dumbbell-shaped jugular foramen schwannomas.

Conclusion: The infralabyrinthine transjugular transsigmoid approach with high cervical exposure under continuous vagus nerve monitoring enables gross total resection of triple dumbbell-shaped jugular foramen schwannomas, aiming at surgical cure of these benign tumors for appropriately selected patients.

While nanozyme-mediated catalytic therapy holds promise for precision oncology, achieving spatiotemporal control over enzymatic activity and synergistic therapeutic amplification in the biologically favorable second near-infrared window (NIR-II) remains an unmet challenge. In this study, we present a breakthrough in plasmonic heterojunction engineering through the rational design of asymmetric dumbbell-shaped Au nanorod@end-mesoporous Pd architectures that establish a high density of plasmonic hotspots at the mesopore sites. Unlike conventional core-shell configurations (Au@mesoPd) showing negligible NIR-II response, our heterostructure demonstrates a nearly 200% enhancement in peroxidase-like activity under 1064 nm excitation through precisely engineered hot electron dynamics.

Rapid and sensitive detection of specific RNA sequences is crucial for clinical diagnosis, surveillance, and biotechnology applications. Currently, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is the gold standard for RNA detection; however, it is associated with long processing time, complex procedures, and a high false-positive rate. To address these challenges, we developed a novel sensing platform based on CRISPR/Cas13a that incorporates a dumbbell-shaped hairpin and DNA-PAINT for rapid, highly specific, and sensitive RNA analysis.

Accurate monitoring of base excision repair (BER) activity in cancer cells is critical for advancing the comprehension of DNA repair processes, gaining insights into cancer development, and guiding treatment strategies. However, current assay techniques for assessing BER activity in cancer cells face challenges due to the heterogeneous origins and diversity of BER enzymes. In this work, we present a hihly relible riple loop-intrlocked DNA coec (GATED) that enables precise assessment of BER activity in cancer cells through signal amplification mediated by multienzyme orthogonal activation.

Three novel donor-π-bridge-donor (D-π-D) hole-transporting materials (HTMs) featuring triazatruxene electron-donating units bridged by different 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) π-conjugated linkers have been synthesized, characterized, and implemented in mesoporous perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The optoelectronic properties of the new dumbbell-shaped derivatives (DTTXs) are highly influenced by the chemical structure of the EDOT-based linker. Red-shifted absorption and emission and a stronger donor ability were observed in passing from DTTX-1 to DTTX-2 due to the extended π-conjugation.
