Evaluation of the porcine lung ECM by specific staining and immunofluorescence confirmed that the three-dimensional ultrastructure of the ECM was noticeably preserved in the SLES-treated groups. In addition, the decellularized lung scaffolds originating from the dextrose/SLES/Triton X-100 cocktail supported cell adhesion and growth. In summary, the novel detergent SLES alleviated the damage to retain a better-preserved ECM than SDS. Sequential Triton X-100 perfusion eliminated SLES. Moreover, performing dextrose perfusion in advance further protected scaffold components, especially collagen. We developed an optimal dextrose/SLES/Triton X-100 cocktail method that can be used for the decellularization of porcine whole lung to obtain a clinical-scale bioengineered scaffold.Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used in food contact paper and paperboard for decades due to their unique ability to provide both moisture and oil/grease resistance. Once thought to be innocuous, it is now clear that long chain PFAS bioaccumulate and are linked to reproductive and developmental abnormalities, suppressed immune response, and tumor formation. Second-generation PFAS have shorter biological half-lives but concerns about health risks from chronic exposure underscore the need for safe substitutes. Waxes and polymer film laminates of polyethylene, poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol), and polyethylene terephthalate are commonly used alternatives. However, such laminates are neither compostable nor recyclable. Lamination with biodegradable polymers, including polyesters, such as polylactic acid (PLA), polybutylene adipate terephthalate, polybutylene succinate, and polyhydroxyalkanoates, are of growing research and commercial interest. PLA films are perhaps the most viable alternative, but performance and compostability are suboptimal. Surface sizings and coatings of starches, chitosan, alginates, micro- and nanofibrilated cellulose, and gelatins provide adequate oil barrier properties but have poor moisture resistance without chemical modification. Plant proteins, including soy, wheat gluten, and corn zein, have been tested as paper coatings with soy being the most commercially important. Internal sizing agents, such as alkyl ketene dimers, alkenyl succinic anhydride, and rosin, improve moisture resistance but are poor oil/grease barriers. TLR2-IN-C29 mouse The difficulty in finding a viable replacement for PFAS chemicals that is cost-effective, fully biodegradable, and environmentally sound underscores the need for more research to improve barrier properties and process economics in food packaging products.Being a key player in intercellular communications, nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer unique opportunities for both diagnostics and therapeutics. However, their cellular origin and functional identity remain elusive due to the high heterogeneity in their molecular and physical features. Here, for the first time, multiple EV parameters involving membrane protein composition, size and mechanical properties on single small EVs (sEVs) are simultaneously studied by combined fluorescence and atomic force microscopy. Furthermore, their correlation and heterogeneity in different cellular sources are investigated. The study, performed on sEVs derived from human embryonic kidney 293, cord blood mesenchymal stromal and human acute monocytic leukemia cell lines, identifies both common and cell line-specific sEV subpopulations bearing distinct distributions of the common tetraspanins (CD9, CD63, and CD81) and biophysical properties. Although the tetraspanin abundances of individual sEVs are independent of their sizes, the expression levels of CD9 and CD63 are strongly correlated. A sEV population co-expressing all the three tetraspanins in relatively high abundance, however, having average diameters of less then 100 nm and relatively low Young moduli, is also found in all cell lines. Such a multiparametric approach is expected to provide new insights regarding EV biology and functions, potentially deciphering unsolved questions in this field.Aldrich et al. clearly described the clinical features of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myositis (ICI-myositis) divided by the presence or absence of myasthenia gravis (MG) (1). From the viewpoint of a neurologist, I emphasize that making a diagnosis of MG that has occurred as immune-related adverse event is difficult when anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies are undetectable.Here, we report a rare case involving a 66-year-old man with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung adenocarcinoma and antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) treated with osimertinib. The patient presented with respiratory failure and bilateral pulmonary opacities; he was diagnosed with ASS accompanied by interstitial lung disease (ILD), consistent with paraneoplastic syndrome. After steroid pulse therapy, osimertinib was administered for lung adenocarcinoma without ILD exacerbation. Osimertinib could therefore be a treatment option for EGFR-mutant lung cancer with paraneoplastic ILD.Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a neoplasm characterized by BCR-ABL1, an oncoprotein with vital role in leukemogenesis. Its inhibition by tyrosine kinase inhibitors represents the main choice of treatment. However, therapeutic failure is worrying given the lack of pharmacological options. Pentacyclic triterpenes are phytochemicals with outstanding antitumoral properties and have also been explored as a basis for the design of potential leads. In this review, we have gathered and discuss data regarding both natural and semisynthetic pentacyclic triterpenes applied to CML cell treatment. We found consistent evidence that the class of pentacyclic triterpenes in general exerts promising pro-apoptotic and antiproliferative activities in sensitive and resistant CML cells, and thus represents a rich source for drug development. We also analyze the predicted drug-like properties of the molecules, discuss the structural changes with biological implications and show the great opportunities this class represents, as well as the perspectives they provide on drug discovery for CML treatment.
To report a case series of calcaneal fracture-dislocations, which have not been described previously in China, and to provide a systematic review to explore the clinic manifestations, methods for diagnoses, and treatments.

Between January 2018 and December 2019, 4 patients (4 men; average age, 33.0 ± 16.67 years; range, 15-50 years) were diagnosed with fracture-dislocation of the calcaneus and treated by surgery. We also reviewed published cases and studies of calcaneal fracture-dislocations through the databases of PubMed and Web of Science between January 1977 and December 2019.

Between January 2018 and December 2019, 4 cases were identified as calcaneal fracture-dislocations in our hospital. The main clinical manifestations include hindfoot pain, swelling, and deformity. The diagnoses were confirmed via radiographic examination. Two patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and two were treated with a minimally invasive approach. Diagnosis had been missed in one patient and, cons this rare injury pattern. Timely surgical intervention is essential for satisfactory clinic outcomes. Orthopaedic surgeons should be aware of this uncommon injury to avoid misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment.The primary objective of this randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled study (from December 2016 to October 2018) was to evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK) equivalence of adalimumab biosimilar HLX03 and reference adalimumab in healthy volunteers, and to assess safety, and immunogenicity of HLX03. The primary PK endpoints were maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax ) and area under the concentration curve from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t ). Equivalence was determined if the 90% confidence interval (CI) of geometric least square mean ratio between the two treatment groups were within the predefined range of 80%-125%. Safety and immunogenicity were monitored during the study. Healthy Chinese males (N = 220) were randomized 11 to receive a single subcutaneous 40 mg dose of HLX03 or China (CN)-sourced adalimumab. The ratios of the geometric mean of Cmax and AUC0-t were 102.2% and 105.7%, respectively, with corresponding 90% CIs falling in the predefined margins, which demonstrated PK equivalence between HLX03 and CN-adalimumab. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar in the two groups (73.8% and 66.0% in the HLX03 and CN-adalimumab groups, respectively). Grade 3-4 TEAEs were reported in 7.5% and 5.7% of participants, respectively. The incidences of participants with antidrug antibodies (HLX03 96.2%; CN-adalimumab 93.4%) or neutralizing antibodies (HLX03 40.6%, CN-adalimumab 41.4%) were comparable between groups. This study demonstrated PK bioequivalence between HLX03 and CN-adalimumab, with similar safety and immunogenicity profiles. These data support further clinical development of HLX03 as an adalimumab biosimilar.A simple and reliable high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed to determine the enantiomeric impurity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, an orally bioavailable prodrug of tenofovir, commonly used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B. Tenofovir disoproxil and its enantiomer, were completely separated on a Chiralpak IC column (3 μm, 100 × 4.6 mm, i.d.). The chiral separation was achieved using a mobile phase containing n-hexane, ethanol, methanol, and triethylamine 65/25/10/0.1 (v/v/v/v) at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. Ideally, the reversal of enantiomer elution order was achieved on the Chiralpak IC column, to allow the elution of the minor enantiomeric impurity before the major component. Moreover, the proposed method was able to discriminate the active ingredient from the related substances available in the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate raw materials. These compounds were isolated and structurally elucidated by MS and nuclear magnetic resonance. Based on the spectral data, the structures of related substances were confirmed as tenofovir isoproxil monoester and fumaric acid. The high-performance liquid chromatography method was optimized by the design of experiment approach and successfully validated following the International Conference on Harmonization guideline. Proposed method was effectively applied for the quantification of enantiomeric impurity in tenofovir disoproxil fumarate raw materials.Grains are important sources of carbohydrates in global dietary patterns. The majority of these carbohydrates, especially in refined-grain products, are digestible. Most carbohydrate digestion takes place in the small intestine where monosaccharides (predominantly glucose) are absorbed, delivering energy to the body. However, a considerable part of the carbohydrates, especially in whole grains, is indigestible dietary fibers. These impact gut motility and transit and are useful substrates for the gut microbiota affecting its composition and quality. For the most part, the profile of digestible and indigestible carbohydrates and their complexity determine the nutritional quality of carbohydrates. Whole grains are more complex than refined grains and are promoted as part of a healthy and sustainable diet mainly because the contribution of indigestible carbohydrates, and their co-passenger nutrients, is significantly higher. Higher consumption of whole grain is recommended because it is associated with lower incidence of, and mortality from, CVD, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.
