Article Abstract
Bleeding associated with endothelial damage is a key feature of severe dengue fever. In the current study, we investigated whether Notch ligands were associated with bleeding in 115 patients with confirmed dengue infection in Vietnam. Soluble Notch ligands were determined by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Seventeen of 115 patients (14.8%) experienced bleeding manifestations. High soluble delta-like ligand 1 (sDLL1) plasma levels was associated with bleeding (median, 15 674 vs 7117 pg/mL; P < .001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated that sDLL1 had the best test performance (area under the ROC curve, 0.852), with 88% sensitivity and 84% specificity. The combination with alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase slightly increased sDLL1 performance. sDLL1 may be useful to guide clinical management of patients with patients in endemic settings.

Background: Chronic rejection is a major cause of long-term kidney allograft failure, characterized by persistent inflammation and progressive fibrosis. Macrophages are central mediators of this process, but their phenotypic heterogeneity and regulatory mechanisms in chronic rejection remain incompletely understood.
Methods: We performed single-cell transcriptomic analysis on renal allograft biopsies from patients with different types of rejection and on a time-course rat model of chronic rejection.
Study on the Modification of Dietary Fiber and Degradation of Zearalenone in Corn Germ Meal by Solid-State Fermentation with K6.

Although corn germ meal is a rich source of dietary fiber, it contains a relatively low proportion of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and is frequently contaminated with high levels of zearalenone (ZEN). Solid-state fermentation has the dual effects of modifying dietary fiber (DF) and degrading mycotoxins. This study optimized the solid-state fermentation process of corn germ meal using K6 through response surface methodology (RSM) to enhance SDF yield while efficiently degrading ZEN.

The rational design of receptor agonists to control cell signaling is an emerging strategy for developing disease therapeutics. Creating a soluble cytokine-like agonist for the Notch receptor, which regulates cell fate in embryonic and adult development, is challenging, as receptor activation requires a mechanical force that is usually mediated by cell-associated transmembrane ligands. Here, we exploit computationally designed protein complexes with precise valencies and geometries to generate soluble cytokine-like Notch agonists.

Antibacterial drug delivery for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-infected wounds faces challenges in reducing oxidative stress, reprogramming the inflammatory microenvironment, and promoting angiogenesis. Herein, a multifunctional near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced nanozymes (CTB) by integrating nitric oxide (NO)-prodrug (BNN6) into a phenolic network of Cu2+-tannic acid. The CTB nanozymes effectively eradicate MRSA through the synergistic effect of NIR-triggered NO release and NIR-induced local hyperthermia.
