The application of the Laponite hydrogels for miR local delivery may offer a novel strategy to treat cardiovascular diseases.Degradation of 7 common pesticides (bentazon, boscalid, chloridazon, fluopyram, flutolanil, imidacloprid, and methoxyfenozide) and 2 metabolites of chloridazon (desphenyl-chloridazon, and methyl-desphenyl-chloridazon) was studied in an anoxic and brackish sandy aquifer before and during Aquifer Storage Transfer and Recovery (ASTR) operation. Fresh tile drainage water was injected and stored for later re-use as irrigation water. We hypothesized that electron acceptors (O2, NO3), dissolved organic carbon (∼24.7 mg/L), nutrients (NO3 ∼14.1 mg/L, NH4 ∼0.13 mg/L, PO4 ∼5.2 mg/L), and biodegrading bacteria in tile drainage water could stimulate degradation of the pesticides and metabolites (ranging between 0.013 and 10.8 μg/L) introduced in the aquifer. Pesticide degradation was studied at 6 depths in the aquifer using push-pull tests lasting ±18 days before the onset of ASTR operation. Degradation was too limited to quantify and/or could not be assessed because of the potential occurrence of pesticide retardation. concentrations, and non-abstracted water may form a contamination risk for the surrounding native brackish groundwater.Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates based on metal/semiconductors have attracted much attention due to their excellent photocatalytic activity and SERS performance. However, they generally exhibit low light utilization and photocatalytic efficiencies. Herein, molybdenum disulfide coated titanium dioxide modified with gold nanoparticles (MoS2@TiO2@Au) as a heterojunction-based recyclable SERS platform was fabricated for the efficient determination of fungicides. Results showed that the MoS2@TiO2@Au platform could rapidly degrade 90.7% crystal violet in 120 min under solar light irradiation and enable reproducible and sensitive SERS analysis of three fungicides (methylene blue, malachite green, and crystal violet) and in-situ monitor of the photodegradation process. The platform could also be reused five times due to the unique integrated merits of the MoS2@TiO2@Au heterojunction. Meanwhile, experiments in determining methylene blue in prawn protein solution achieved a limit of detection of 1.509 μg/L. Therefore, it is hoped that this work could expand detection applications of photocatalytic materials.
Biopsy of intrinsic brainstem tumours presumed to be diffuse midline gliomas (previously known as DIPG) is controversial. Surgery has risks of injury to the eloquent brainstem and may not have direct benefit to the patient. Technological improvements in operative adjuncts have allowed the role of biopsy for paediatric brainstem lesions to be revisited with new insights. This study aims to evaluate our institutional experience in brainstem biopsy.

This is an ethics-approved retrospective study based in KK Women's and Children's Hospital. Patients diagnosed with intrinsic brainstem tumours and managed by the Neurosurgical Service were included. Variables of interest included patient demographics, neuroimaging features, type of surgery, histological and molecular diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.

From 2006 to 2021, a total of 27 brainstem intrinsic tumours were referred to the Neurosurgical Service. Eleven (40.7%) patients underwent stereotactic biopsy and 10 (37%) had open biopsies. Histologically, 10 (37%) were confirmed to be high grade gliomas, eight (29.6%) were low grade gliomas and 3 (11.1%) were malignant embryonal tumours. No negative diagnostic results or permanent postoperative complications were encountered. Five patients went on to have their tumours interrogated via next-generation sequencing to look for targetable mutations. The remaining 6 (22.2%) patients did not undergo biopsy, whereby 1 of them is still alive after 6years.

Biopsy of paediatric brainstem intrinsic tumours is a safe procedure that concurrs with accurate tissue diagnosis. This option can be offered to affected patients, especially to identify relevant markers for targeted therapy.

This study aimed to determine the association between N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) levels at admission and neurological outcomes at six months in aSAH patients following endovascular treatment. Patients diagnosed with aSAH who underwent NT-pro BNP measurement at admission at our department between January 2018 and April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Neurological outcomes were evaluated based on the six-month modified Rankin Scale score. The associations between admission NT-pro BNP levels and neurological outcomes were investigated. In total, 471 patients were included in the analysis. The serum NT-pro BNP levels were significantly lower in patients with a favorable outcome than those with an unfavorable outcome. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of NT-pro BNP was 0.687. The optimal cutoff value of serum NT-pro BNP level as a predictor of unfavorable outcome was 253.4 pg/mL. Multivariate analysis revealed that admission NT-pro BNP level of >253.4 pg/mL was significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes. After propensity score-matching, admission NT-pro BNP level of >253.4 pg/mL was an independent predictor of unfavorable outcomes. Admission NT-pro BNP level added a slight value to other clinical variables for the prediction of unfavorable outcomes (0.877 vs 0.871 in AUC, respectively; p = 0.084). In conclusion, higher admission NT-pro BNP levels were independently associated with six-month unfavorable outcomes in aSAH patients treated with endovascular treatment. However, it added only minor prognostic value to clinical information alone.
Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction(TICI) score is used to objectively evaluate cerebral perfusion after intervention in acute stroke with mechanical thrombectomy. In our study, we aimed to compare the results of patients with successful TICI perfusion score (TICI≥2c) with the results of patients with poor TICI perfusion score (TICI<2c) and to investigate the relationship of the CHA
DS
-VASc scoring system with the final TICI perfusion score and other endpoints.

For this retrospective, single-center, cross-sectional study, 278 patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy were screened consecutively by the interventional neurology department of hospital. The primary endpoint of the study was in-hospital and 1-year all-cause death. All patients underwent cranial imaging to evaluate hemorrhagic transformation after the procedure.

It was observed that CHA
DS
-VASc score was significantly higher in the poor cerebral perfusion group than in the succesful cerebral perfusion group (3.19±1.8 vs 2.72±1sion.
High CHA2DS2-VASc score has been shown to be a predictor of unsuccessful cerebral perfusion score and 1-year mortality after mechanical thrombectomy in stroke patients. As a result of our research, it has been shown that complete or nearly complete reperfusion has more positive results than partial reperfusion.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the progression of diverse human cancers. This work aimed to delve into how microRNA-135a-5p (miR-135a-5p) affects the biological behaviors of Breast Cancer (BC) cells.

Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets were used to analyze the expression differences of miR-135a-5p in cancer tissues of BC patients. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot were conducted to detect miR-135a-5p and Bcl-2 Associated Athanogene (BAG3) expression levels in BC tissues and cells, respectively. The proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle of BC cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 assay, BrdU assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay, and flow cytometry. The targeted relationship between miR-135a-5p and BAG3 mRNA 3'UTR predicted by bioinformatics was further testified by a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Pearson's correlation analysis was adopted to analyze the correlation between miR-135a-5p expression and BAG3 expression. The downstream pathways of BAG3 were analyzed by the LinkedOmics database.

MiR-135a-5p was significantly down-regulated and BAG3 expression was significantly raised in BC tissues. MiR-135a-5p overexpression repressed the viability, migration and invasion of BC cells, and blocked cell cycle progression in G0/G1 phase while inhibiting miR-135a-5p worked oppositely. BAG3 was verified as a target of miR-135a-5p. Overexpression of BAG3 reversed the impacts of miR-135a-5p on the malignant biological behaviors of BC cells. The high expression of BAG3 was associated with the activation of the cell cycle, mTOR and TGF-β signaling pathways.

MiR-135a-5p regulates BAG3 to repress the growth, migration, invasion, and cell cycle progression of BC cells.

RTX is used off-label in several neurologicalinflammatory diseases in adults children patients. We conducted a study to assess indications and safety of rituximab (RTX) for children and to identify risk factors for early B-cell repopulation.

A single-center retrospective study of children treated with RTX for a neurological disease between May 31, 2010, and May 31, 2020, was performed.

A total of 77 children (median age, 8.9years) were included. RTX was mostly used as second-line therapy in all groups of diseases (68%). Median dose was 1500mg/m
for each patient. There were 13 clinical relapses (17%), 5 when B-cell depletion was complete. Adverse events were present in 6% of the cases. MSDC0160 The factors influencing early B-cell repopulation were the recent infusion of intravenous Ig (P<0.01) and the administration of less than 1500 mg/m
during the first RTX treatment (P= 0.04). The median time to B-cell repopulation seemed to be shorter (160 vs 186days) when patients had plasmapheresis even when a 48-hour delay was observed with RTX infusions.

This study confirms the good tolerance of RTX in the treatment of specific neurological disorders in a pediatric population. It also highlights risk factors for early B-cell repopulation and underlines the importance of B-cell monitoring.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has branched out to various applications in healthcare, such as health services management, predictive medicine, clinical decision-making, and patient data and diagnostics. Although AI models have achieved human-like performance, their use is still limited because they are seen as a black box. This lack of trust remains the main reason for their low use in practice, especially in healthcare. Hence, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) has been introduced as a technique that can provide confidence in the model's prediction by explaining how the prediction is derived, thereby encouraging the use of AI systems in healthcare. The primary goal of this review is to provide areas of healthcare that require more attention from the XAI research community.

Multiple journal databases were thoroughly searched using PRISMA guidelines 2020. Studies that do not appear in Q1 journals, which are highly credible, were excluded.

In this review, we surveyed 99 Q1 articles covering the following XAI techniques SHAP, LIME, GradCAM, LRP, Fuzzy classifier, EBM, CBR, rule-based systems, and others.
