    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with concomitant bladder cancer (BCa) and prostate cancer (PCa) using a large population-based database.
    Methods: Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2000-2019), we identified patient with concomitant PCa at the time of radical cystoprostatectomy (RCP). Logistic regression and propensity score matching (PSM) analyses were employed to identify risk factors and mitigate confounders, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate cancer-specific survival (CSS).
    Results: A total of 14,199 BCa patients undergoing RCP were identified, with 28.8% incidentally discovered to have concurrent PCa. Among them, 89.9% exhibited organ-confined (T1-2) PCa. An increased risk of concomitant tumors was observed among older age, white race, and high tumor grade of BCa. Survival analysis revealed no significant difference in CSS between patients with BCa alone and those with concurrent PCa (5-year CSS rate: 71.3% vs. 67.2%, P =0.076). Subgroup analysis and multivariable analysis, however, indicated that concurrent high-risk PCa adversely impacted survival (5-year CSS rate: 71.3% vs. 63.4%, HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.01-1.58, P =0.038) compared to solitary BCa. Notably, the presence of low/intermediate-risk PCa did not affect survival outcomes ( P =0.584).
    Conclusion: In conclusion, incidentally discovered PCa in RCP specimens is frequent and characterized by organ-confined presentation, lower PSA levels, and Gleason scores. Patients with concurrent high-risk PCa have a worse prognosis compared to those with solitary BCa, while the presence of low/intermediate-risk PCa does not influence oncological prognosis.

    Abstract Objectives: To elucidate the association between the anticancer activities of piperlongumine (PL) and its potential target, transient receptor potential melastatin 7 channel (TRPM7), in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
    Methods: The expression levels and electrical characteristics of TRPM7 as well as cell viability in response to various PL treatments were investigated in the OSCC cell line Cal27.
    Results: PL treatment resulted in a concentration- and time-dependent reduction in TRPM7 mRNA and protein expression in Cal27 cells. Furthermore, PL treatment inhibited TRPM7-like rectifying currents in Cal27 cells; however, this inhibition was less effective than that of the TRPM7 antagonist waixenicin A. Rapid perfusion and washout experiments revealed an immediate inhibitory effect of PL on TRPM7-like currents. The antagonistic effect of PL occurred within 1 min and was not completely reversed following washout. Notably, the extracellular Ca
    Conclusions: These findings suggest that PL exhibits potent inhibitory effects on TRPM7 and exerts its anti-cancer effects by downregulating TRPM7 expression and antagonizing channel currents.

    Abstract In addition to traditional characterisation methods of hydrophobic interaction (HIC) and reverse phase (RP) chromatography, an anion exchange chromatography (AIEX) was developed to analyse and purify antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). Since different drug antibody ratio (DAR) species may impact biological activity, therapeutic index, PK parameters or even potential immunogenicity, homogenous ADC DAR demands have been significantly increasing. To accelerate linker designs, drug screening and ADC DAR purification for

    Abstract This paper studies the scheduling of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) at hospitals where the stochastic travel times and service times of AMRs are affected by the surrounding environment. The routes of AMRs are planned to minimize the daily cost of the hospital (including the AMR fixed cost, penalty cost of violating the time window, and transportation cost). To efficiently generate high-quality solutions, some properties are identified and incorporated into an improved tabu search (I-TS) algorithm for problem-solving. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the I-TS algorithm outperforms existing methods by producing high-quality solutions. Based on the characteristics of healthcare requests and the AMR working environment, scheduling AMRs reasonably can effectively provide medical services, improve the utilization of medical resources, and reduce hospital costs.

    Abstract Introduction: This study explores the effects of different types of augmented reality (AR) mandala coloring activities on mindfulness and flow in college students.
    Methods: A total of 76 college students participated in the study and were divided into two groups based on their drawing skills: the high-skilled group (
    Results: ANOVA results showed that a single 30-min short-term datura coloring activity did not significantly improve mindfulness (
    Discussion: Flow can be quickly and effectively improved through short AR mandala coloring exercises. The contribution of this study is to provide inspiration and reference for further exploring how AR mandola coloring can improve subjects' mental state and promote the perfection and development of positive psychological mechanism.
