Article Abstract
Purpose: Early diagnosis of liver cancer requires highly sensitive detection of biomarkers. This study aims to develop a novel method for detecting circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the serum of liver cancer patients, leveraging a catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA) signal amplification strategy combined with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology and nano-enzyme catalysis.
Methods: We synthesized Au@Pt@HP1-HP2@FeO nano-enzyme complexes, utilizing the SERS-enhancing properties of Pt-coated Au nanoparticles (Au@Pt) and the separation-enrichment capability of FeO magnetic beads. The complexes catalyzed the oxidation of colorless TMB by HO to produce blue ox-TMB, enabling quantitative detection of PIK3CA E542K mutant ctDNA. The assay's performance was validated using gold standard qRT-PCR.
Results: Under optimized conditions, the method achieved a detection limit for PIK3CA E542K as low as 4.12 aM. The assay demonstrated high sensitivity, specificity, and efficient magnetic separation, making it a robust tool for ctDNA detection.
Conclusion: This study presents a highly sensitive and specific detection platform for liver cancer early diagnosis, characterized by magnetic separation and nano-enzyme catalysis. The method holds significant clinical potential for the accurate and early detection of liver cancer biomarkers.

Prognostic values and clinical significance of POU2F3 expression in neuroendocrine carcinomas: a meta-analysis with a focus on small cell lung cancer.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) with poor prognosis due to chemotherapy resistance. Molecular subtypes, including ASCL1, NEUROD1, YAP1 and POU2F3, have distinct clinical implications. POU2F3, linked to a tuft cell-like lineage, represents a non-neuroendocrine subtype found in SCLC and extrapulmonary NECs.

An estimated 254 million people live with hepatitis B worldwide, with only 13% of people diagnosed and 3% receiving antiviral treatment. Without timely treatment, people with hepatitis B risk developing liver damage and liver cancer. In countries like Australia, where most people with hepatitis B are born in countries with higher prevalence, it is important that the knowledge and perceptions of hepatitis B in immigrant populations are explored to improve engagement in care.

Purpose: To develop and validate a fast, motion-robust, free-breathing abdominal 3D T1ρ mapping method by combining variable-density diamond radial k-space sampling with fast-MAPSS (magnetization-prepared angle-modulated partitioned-k-space spoiled gradient-echo snapshots).
Methods: 3D MAPSS T1ρ imaging was performed at 3T using five spin-lock time (TSL) pairs in phantom scans and three TSL pairs in nine healthy volunteers. Phantom experiments compared Cartesian sampling (reference) with stack-of-stars and diamond radial sampling.
Exploring Organ-Specific Extracellular Vesicles in Metabolic Improvements Following Bariatric Surgery in Youth With Obesity.

Objective: Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) promotes significant metabolic improvements, though the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Emerging evidence suggests that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) contribute to metabolic improvements post VSG, such as improved fatty liver disease or adipose tissue function; however, it is unclear how different organ-specific sEVs interact with various metabolic parameters. The objective of this study is to establish the role of organ-specific sEVs in the metabolic improvements post VSG.
