Although these observations indirectly suggest that cytokine changes contribute to immune dysregulation during irAE, prospective validation is needed to explain the confounding etiologies that may contribute to cytokine dysregulation. Therefore, studying the relationship between T cell subpopulations, cytokines and irAE in a larger population may be crucial for identifying biomarkers for ICI.

The ACOSOG Z0011 trial demonstrated safe omission of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in patients with one or two positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) receiving breast conservative surgery, followed by whole breast irradiation and adjuvant systemic treatment. This study aims to evaluate the exportability of the ACOSOG Z0011 criteria in an Asian/Chinese cohort residing in Hong Kong.

Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database in a University affiliated tertiary breast centre was performed from June 2014 to May 2019. All breast cancer patients with no palpable adenopathy before surgery, one or more positive sentinel lymph nodes on histological examination and no prior neoadjuvant systemic treatment were recruited. Patients were grouped as eligible or ineligible according to the ACOSOG Z0011 criteria. The eligible group was compared with the sentinel alone group in the ACOSOG Z0011 cohort.

Two hundred and forty-eight patients were recruited into the study. Sixty patients (24%) met the ACOSOG Z0011 criteria and could potentially avoid ALND. A higher percentage of clinical T2 tumors were observed in our eligible group than in the ACOSOG Z0011 trial (P=0.002). The histological subtype, tumor grade, estrogen receptor (ER)/progestogen receptor (PR) status and lymphovascular invasion status did not differ. There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of SLN micrometastasis and macrometastasis between the two groups.

This study demonstrated clinical similarities between our eligible cohort and the ACOSOG Z0011 cohort, which confirms exportability of the ACOSOG Z0011 criteria to a subset of population in Hong Kong.

However, the poor bioavailability of anthocyanins limits their functional capacity in vivo. SR59230A concentration Our current study aimed to detect the effects of α-casein on the absorption of blueberry anthocyanins and their metabolites in rats. Blueberry anthocyanins with and without α-casein were intragastrically administered to two groups of rats and their blood samples were collected within 24 h. Results illustrated that rapid absorption of anthocyanins was observed in the rat plasma, but their concentration was relatively low. With the complexation of α-casein, the maximum concentration (Cmax) of bioavailable anthocyanins and metabolites could increase by 1.5-10.1 times (P less then 0.05 or P less then 0.01). The promotional effect on the plasma absorption of malvidin-3-O-galactoside and vanillic acid was outstanding with the Cmax increasing from 0.032 to 0.323 and from 0.360 to 1.902 μg/mL, respectively (P less then 0.01). Besides, the molecular docking models presented that anthocyanins could enter the structural cavity and interact with amino acid residues of α-casein, which was in accordance with the improved bioavailability of anthocyanins. Therefore, α-casein could assist more blueberry anthocyanins and their metabolites to enter blood circulation.Proso millet peroxidase (PmPOD) belongs to class III plant peroxidases, which are enzymes typically characterized by their heme coenzymes. PmPOD exhibits not only heme-dependent peroxidase activity but also heme-independent phosphatase activity. Crystal structure analysis and sequence alignment showed that PmPOD contained a phosphatase catalytic loop CXXXXXR in its β-domain that is similar to the active site of a dual-specific phosphatase. Recombinant truncated proso millet peroxidase (tPmPOD), which contained only a conserved catalytic loop CXXXXXR of phosphatase, was found to exhibit phosphatase activity. Five tPmPOD mutants containing five different mutations in the phosphatase active sites exhibited significantly lower phosphatase activity compared to that of tPmPOD, indicating that the five amino acids play important roles in the phosphatase activity of tPmPOD. Finally, nucleophilic amino acid Cys192 formed a disulfide bond with Cys219 to protect the stability of a sulfhydryl group; thus, it may play a decisive role in the phosphatase activity of PmPOD.The Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction is an oscillating reaction due to periodic oscillations that happen in the concentration of some intermediates. Such systems can be applied together with hydrophobic membranes to create an autonomous behavior in artificial systems. However, because of a complex set of reactions happening in such systems, the interferences caused by hydrophobic membranes are not easily understood. In this study, we tested lipid membranes composed of trimethylammonium-propane (TAP) and phosphate (PA) lipids in an attempt to break down how the polar region of phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipid membranes affect the BZ reaction. According to our findings, the trimethylammonium group and membrane fluidity are crucial to change the frequency of oscillations in the reaction. In addition, the results also indicate a possible complexation of cerium ions with membranes with a phosphate head group.Mixing of anthropogenic gaseous pollutants and biogenic volatile organic compounds impacts the formation of secondary aerosols, but still in an unclear manner. The present study explores secondary aerosol formation via the interactions between β-pinene, O3, NO2, SO2, and NH3 under dark conditions. Results showed that aerosol yield can be largely enhanced by more than 330% by NO2 or SO2 but slightly enhanced by NH3 by 39% when the ratio of inorganic gases to β-pinene ranged from 0 to 1.3. Joint effects of NO2 and SO2 and SO2 and NH3 existed as aerosol yields increased with NO2 but decreased with NH3 when SO2 was kept constant. Infrared spectra showed nitrogen-containing aerosol components derived from NO2 and NH3 and sulfur-containing species derived from SO2. Several particulate organic nitrates (MW 215, 229, 231, 245), organosulfates (MW 250, 264, 280, 282, 284), and nitrooxy organosulfates (MW 295, 311, 325, 327, and 343) were identified using high-resolution orbitrap mass spectrometry in NO2 and SO2 experiments, and their formation mechanism is discussed.
