    Abstract A method for the extraction and accumulation of Ag nanoparticles utilizing capillary action through a piece of triangular-shaped cotton paper is reported. This method allowed the integration of SERS and the BPG spot test, which are typically employed for examining pigments on paper or in books. Malachite green oxalate was used as the model material for investigating the extent of enhancement when SERS was applied. The dynamic behavior of the Ag nanoparticles was also studied. When the cotton paper was pre-treated with malachite green oxalate, Ag nanoparticles could be extracted and accumulated on the triangular top, resulting in a dramatic SERS improvement. When malachite green oxalate (at a concentration of 10

    Abstract Tannins are polyphenols enriched in wood, bark, roots, leaves, seeds and fruits of a variety of plants. Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing interest in understanding the biological functions of tannins and their applications as antioxidants, anticancer drugs, and food additives. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, much effort has been devoted to finding an expedient cure. Tannins have been put forward as having possible anti-COVID-19 properties; however, owing to the profuse nature of the structurally diverse derivatives of tannins, the tannin species in the family associated with an indication of anti-COVID-19 have been poorly defined, compounded by frequent terminology misnomers. This article reviews the tannin family in fruits and the current knowledge about the activities of the compounds with regard to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It will aid molecular and cellular biologists in developing natural anti-viral chemicals as means of overcoming the current and future pandemics.

    Abstract Background: a low PNI in patients with NPC is linked to poor survival, but prior studies have focused on single-timepoint measurements. Our study aims to employ joint modeling to analyze longitudinal PNI data from each routine visit, exploring its relationship with overall survival.
    Methods: In this retrospective study using data from the Chang Gung Research Database (2007-2019), we enrolled patients with NPC undergoing curative treatment. We analyzed the correlation between patient characteristics, including the PNI, and overall survival. A joint model combining a longitudinal sub-model with a time-to-event sub-model was used to further evaluate the prognostic value of longitudinal PNI.
    Results: A total of 2332 patient were enrolled for the analysis. Separate survival analyses showed that longitudinal PNI was an independent indicator of a reduced mortality risk (adjusted HR 0.813; 95% CI, 0.805 to 0.821). Joint modeling confirmed longitudinal PNI as a consistent predictor of survival (HR 0.864; 95% CI, 0.850 to 0.879). An ROC analysis revealed that a PNI below 38.1 significantly increased the risk of 90-day mortality, with 90.0% sensitivity and 89.6% specificity.
    Conclusions: Longitudinal PNI data independently predicted the overall survival in patients with NPC, significantly forecasting 90-day survival outcomes. We recommend routine PNI assessments during each clinic visit for these patients.

    Abstract Statement of problem: Current designs of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) have a limited lifespan, failing mainly through veneer-fiber delamination, debonding, and fracture.
    Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to validate a new inlay-retained 2-unit cantilevered RBFDP with an optimized cavity and fiber layout proposed in a previous study by using simulated occlusal loading.
    Material and methods: Two groups of specimens (n=20), 1 with and 1 without glass fibers, were used to test the influence of the cavity design and that of the fiber layout on their load capacity, respectively. The specimens without fibers were directly cut from a resin-ceramic block by using a computer-aided manufacturing system, while those with fibers were manually fabricated with unidirectional glass fibers and composite resin in a silicone mold. The specimens with and without fibers were attached to abutments made of the same resin-ceramic with a cyanoacrylate-based adhesive and a resin-based dental cement, respectively. An increasing compressive load was applied on the mesial fossa of the premolar pontic until failure. Cracking in the specimens during loading was monitored with a 2-channel acoustic emission (AE) system.
    Results: All the specimens without fiber reinforcement debonded from the abutments. Those using the optimized shovel-shaped cavity design had a mean ±standard deviation failure load (50.0 ±17.3 N) that was 193% higher than that of those with the conventional step-box design (17.1 ±6.2 N; P<.001). No significant difference was found between the groups for the mean number of AE events per specimen (step-box: 49 ±34 versus shovel-shaped: 63 ±34; P=.427), the mean amplitude of each event (58.4 ±1.3 dB versus 59.5 ±2.4 dB; P=.299), or the mean time to failure (283.2 ±122.3 seconds versus 297.5 ±66.7 seconds; P=.798). Between the groups of specimens with reinforcing fibers, the mean failure load of the conventional design was approximately half that of the optimized one. Again, no significant difference was found for the mean number of AE events per specimen (conventional: 28 ±18 versus optimized: 52 ±53; P=.248) or the mean amplitude for each AE event (64.9 ±4.2 dB versus 61.7 ±5.2 dB; P=.187). The connectors of 8 fiber-reinforced specimens with the conventional design fractured; the other 2 debonded from the abutments. Half of the shape-optimized fiber-reinforced specimens had fractured abutments, but the cantilevers remained intact, 4 specimens fractured at the connector, and only 1 debonded from its abutment.
    Conclusions: The shape-optimized 2-unit cantilevered FRC RBFDP had a higher load capacity than the conventional design.

    Abstract Introduction: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone tumor, and the main affected population is adolescents. The survival of OS patients was 10-20% when surgery was used as a single treatment. There is less basic research on OS than other tumors, and we need more ways to improve the survival rate. Phosphotyrosine picked threonine kinase (TTK) has been widely reported as an oncogene in multiple types of cancers, and it is also known as a clinical therapeutic target. This study aims to assess TTK expression levels in human OS tissues and its link with the clinical characteristics of OS patients, and to evaluate the potential role in OS development.
    Material and methods: Immunohistochemical (IHC) assays were conducted to detect the expression levels of TTK in a total of 74 OS tissues and the corresponding adjacent tissues. Furthermore, according to the staining intensity of TTK in tumor tissues, patients were divided into TTK high and low expression groups. The possible correlation between TTK expression levels and clinical features were analyzed, and the effects of TTK on OS cell proliferation were detected through colony formation and cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assays. The effects of TTK on tumor growth were detected using an animal model.
    Results: Phosphotyrosine picked threonine kinase was abnormally highly expressed in human OS tissues. Meanwhile, TTK was significantly correlated with the clinical characteristics such as tumor size (
    Conclusions: We demonstrated the involvement of TTK in the development of OS, and therefore we suggest that TTK should be considered as a promising therapy target for OS.

    Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as promising targets in cancer treatment. However, compared to targeting the ordinary protein-coding genes, suppressing non-coding RNAs expressed in cancer cells has been a more challenging task. The major hurdles lay on the requirement of a tumor-specific delivery system for the designated inhibitor to suppress the target transcripts within the cellular compartment. EGFR is a cancer driver gene which is frequently associated with the triple-negative phenotype of breast cancer. Prior studies have shown that expression of the tumor-promoting lncRNA
