Disulfidptosis, a recently discovered programmed cell death triggered by disulphide stress, presents a fresh avenue for therapeutic exploration. This research examines disulfidptosis-related long noncoding RNAs (DRLs) in gastric cancer, with the goal of leveraging these lncRNAs as potential markers to enhance patient outcomes and treatment approaches. Comprehensive genomic and clinical data from stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Employing least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, a prognostic model was devised incorporating five key DRLs to forecast survival rates. The effectiveness of this model was validated using Kaplan-Meier survival plots, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and extensive functional enrichment studies. The importance of select lncRNAs and the expression variability of genes tied to disulfidptosis were validated via quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot tests, establishing a solid foundation for their prognostic utility. Analyses of functional enrichment and tumour mutation burden highlighted the biological importance of these DRLs, connecting them to critical cancer pathways and immune responses. These discoveries broaden our comprehension of the molecular framework of gastric cancer and bolster the development of tailored treatment plans, highlighting the substantial role of DRLs in clinical prognosis and therapeutic intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":8736,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology","volume":"53 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142863136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main purpose of this first in vivo trial is to evaluate the mechanical viability of the device and its immediate and early functionality. A recuperation study with seven New Zealand White rabbits was designed. A 1.96 mm outer diameter prototype of the new device was placed on the right femoral artery of each rabbit. Each anastomosis was reassessed on the seventh postoperative day to reevaluate the device function. The average anastomosis time with the new device was 18 min and 45 seg (±0.3 seg). It could be easily placed in all the cases with an average of 1.14 (1) complementary stitches needed to achieve a sealed anastomosis. Patency test was positive for all the cases on the immediate assessment. On the 1 week revision surgery, patency test was negative for the seven rabbits due to blood clot formation inside the device. The new device that we have developed is simple to use and shows correct immediate functionality. On the early assessment, the presence of a foreign body in the endoluminal space caused blood clot formation. We speculate that a heparin eluting version of the device could avoid thrombosis formation. We consider that the results obtained can be valuable for other endoluminal sutureless devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":"19 1","pages":"015002"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11500805/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142511464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is in contrast to conventional high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), for which oscillatory volumes are applied at a single frequency. In the present study, as a means of fully realizing the potential of MFOV, we designed and tested a computer-controlled hybrid oscillatory ventilator capable of generating the flows, tidal volumes, and airway pressures required for MFOV, HFOV, conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV), as well as oscillometric measurements of respiratory impedance. The device employs an iterative spectral feedback controller to generate a wide range of oscillatory waveforms. The performance of the device meets that of commercial mechanical ventilators in volume-controlled mode. Oscillatory modes of ventilation also meet design specifications in a mechanical test lung, over frequencies from 4 to 20 Hz and mean airway pressure from 5 to 30 cmH<sub>2</sub>O. In proof-of-concept experiments, the oscillatory ventilator maintained adequate gas exchange in a porcine model of acute lung injury, using combinations of conventional and oscillatory ventilation modalities. In summary, our novel device is capable of generating a wide range of conventional and oscillatory ventilation waveforms with potential to enhance gas exchange, while simultaneously providing less injurious ventilation.</p>","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":"19 1","pages":"011001"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11500807/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142516706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To safeguard consumers, BPA migration limits have been defined by regulatory bodies. However, it is important to address the underlying factors and mechanisms so that they can be optimized in order to minimize BPA migration. In this review, we determine the relative importance of the factors, i.e. temperature, contact time, pH, food composition, storage time and temperature, package type, cleaning, and aging, and packaging damage that promote BPA migration in foods.

As a result of the progressive fragmentation of oversized plastic containers and products or manufacturing in small sizes, microplastics (particles of a diameter of 5 mm with no lower limit) are used in medicines, personal care products, and industry. The incidence of microplastics is found everywhere in the air, marine waters, land, and even food that humans and animals consume. One of the greatest concerns is the permanent damage that is created by plastic waste to our fragile ecosystem. The impossibility of the complete removal of all microplastic contamination from the oceans is one of the principal tasks of our governing body, research scientists, and individuals. Implementing the necessary measures to reduce the levels of plastic consumption is the only way to protect our environment. Cutting off the plastic flow is the key remedy to reducing waste and pollution, and such an approach could show immense significance. This review offers a comprehensive exploration of the various aspects of microplastics, encompassing their composition, types, properties, origins, health risks, and environmental impacts.
