    Abstract Purpose of review: Targeted therapies are part of biomarker-driven strategies that exploit actionable molecular targets and have gained traction following survival benefits demonstrated in various systemic malignancies. In glioblastoma, where therapeutic options remain scarce and prognosis poor, targeted therapies offer an attractive treatment alternative and are actively examined in clinical trials. In this review, we summarize the targeted therapies, including traditional small molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies as well as immunotherapeutic approaches that are examined in clinical trials, and discuss the challenges of using them for the treatment of glioblastoma.
    Recent findings: Despite initial speculations, phase II/III trials of targeted therapies in adult patients with glioblastoma have largely failed. Recent trials have focused on improving patient stratification, drug-tissue penetration, and target and compensatory pathway inhibition to optimize treatment response. In contrast to traditional small molecule and monoclonal antibody therapies, cancer immunotherapy may target specific molecular or immune checkpoint target(s) to trigger immune responses against glioblastoma. Early phase clinical trials of immunotherapy have shown encouraging results, and larger randomized trials are ongoing. Targeted therapies are being actively studied in clinical trials. Patients with glioblastoma should be prioritized for clinical trial participation.

    Abstract The inter-satellite laser ranging heterodyne interferometer is vital for future gravity missions to achieve high ranging accuracy. This paper proposes a novel off-axis optical bench design which integrates merits of the off-axis optical bench design of GRACE Follow-On mission and other on-axis designs. This design makes use of lens systems subtly to restrict the tilt-to-length coupling noise and takes advantage of the DWS feedback loop to maintain the transmitting beam and receiving beam anti-parallel. The critical parameters of the optical components are determined and the carrier-to-noise ratio for a single channel of the photoreceiver is calculated to be more than 100 dB-Hz for the high case. The off-axis optical bench design is a potential candidate for China's future gravity missions.

    Abstract The development of sustainable cementitious materials is essential and urgent for the construction industry. Benefiting from excellent engineering properties and a reduced greenhouse gas footprint, alkali-activated materials (AAM) are among the robust alternatives to Portland cement for civil infrastructure. Meanwhile, concrete production also accounts for around 20% of all industrial water consumption, and the global freshwater shortage is increasing. This review discusses recent investigations on seawater-mixed AAMs, including the effects of seawater on workability, reaction mechanism, shrinkage, short and long-term strength, binding of chloride and corrosion of steel reinforcement. Attention is also paid to the utilization of sea sand as aggregate, as well as discussions on the challenges and further research perspectives on the field application of AAMs with seawater and sea sand.

    Abstract Immunophenotyping is proving crucial to understanding the role of the immune system in health and disease. High-throughput flow cytometry has been used extensively to reveal changes in immune cell composition and function at the single-cell level. Here, we describe six optimized 11-color flow cytometry panels for deep immunophenotyping of human whole blood. A total of 51 surface antibodies, which are readily available and validated, were selected to identify the key immune cell populations and evaluate their functional state in a single assay. The gating strategies for effective flow cytometry data analysis are included in the protocol. To ensure data reproducibility, we provide detailed procedures in three parts, including (1) instrument characterization and detector gain optimization, (2) antibody titration and sample staining, and (3) data acquisition and quality checks. This standardized approach has been applied to a variety of donors for a better understanding of the complexity of the human immune system.

    Abstract Introduction: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is one of the most common fundus diseases. Many rural areas of China have few ophthalmologists, and ophthalmologic ultrasound examination is of great significance for remote diagnosis of RRD. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and evaluate a deep learning (DL) model, to be used for automated RRD diagnosis based on ophthalmologic ultrasound images, in order to support timely diagnosis of RRD in rural and remote areas.
    Methods: A total of 6,000 ophthalmologic ultrasound images from 1,645 participants were used to train and verify the DL model. A total of 5,000 images were used for training and validating DL models, and an independent testing set of 1,000 images was used to test the performance of eight DL models trained using four different DL model architectures (fully connected neural network, LeNet5, AlexNet, and VGG16) and two preprocessing techniques (original, original image augmented). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze their performance. Heatmaps were generated to visualize the process of the best DL model in the identification of RRD. Finally, five ophthalmologists were invited to diagnose RRD independently on the same test set of 1,000 images for performance comparison with the best DL model.
    Results: The best DL model for identifying RRD achieved an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.998 with a sensitivity and specificity of 99.2% and 99.8%, respectively. The best preprocessing method in each model architecture was the application of original image augmentation (average AUC = 0.982). The best model architecture in each preprocessing method was VGG16 (average AUC = 0.998).
    Conclusion: The best DL model determined in this study has higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity than the ophthalmologists' diagnosis in identifying RRD based on ophthalmologic ultrasound images. This model may provide support for timely diagnosis in locations without access to ophthalmologic care.

    Abstract An asymmetric organocatalytic remote 1,10-addition of alkynyl indole imine methides generated in situ from α-(6-indolyl) propargylic alcohols with thiazolones has been developed for the first time, affording axially chiral tetrasubstituted allenes featuring vicinal sulfur-containing quaternary carbon stereocenters in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities. The representative scale-up reaction and transformations of the 1,10-adduct were examined. The reaction mechanism was expounded by control experiments and DFT calculations.

    Abstract Macrophages are immune cells with high plasticity that are widely distributed in all tissues and organs of the body. Under the influence of the immune microenvironment of breast tumors, macrophages differentiate into various germline lineages. They exert pro-tumor or tumor-suppressive effects by secreting various cytokines. Pyroptosis is mediated by Gasdermin family proteins, which form holes in cell membranes and cause a violent inflammatory response and cell death. This is an important way for the body to fight off infections. Tumor cell pyroptosis can activate anti-tumor immunity and inhibit tumor growth. At the same time, it releases inflammatory mediators and recruits tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) for accumulation. Macrophages act as "mediators" of cytokine interactions and indirectly influence the pyroptosis pathway. This paper describes the mechanism of action on the part of TAM in affecting the pyroptosis process of breast tumor cells, as well as its key role in the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, it provides the basis for in-depth research on how to use immune cells to affect breast tumors and guide anti-tumor trends, with important implications for the prevention and treatment of breast tumors.
