    Abstract Herein, a type of light- and heat-driven flexible supramolecular polymer with reversibly long-lived phosphorescence and photochromism is constructed from acrylamide copolymers with 4-phenylpyridinium derivatives containing a cyano group (P-CN, P-oM, P-mM), sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBCD), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Compared to their parent solid polymers, these flexible supramolecules based on the non-covalent cross-linking of copolymers, SBCD, and PVA efficiently boost the phosphorescence lifetimes (723.0 ms for P-CN, 623.0 ms for P-oM, 945.8 ms for P-mM) through electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonds. The phosphorescence intensity/lifetime, showing excellent responsiveness to light and heat, sharply decreased after irradiation with a 275 nm flashlight or sunlight and gradually recovered through heating. This is accompanied by the occurrence and fading of visible photochromism, manifesting as dark green for P-CN and pink for P-oM and P-mM. These reversible photochromism and phosphorescence behaviors are mainly attributed to the generation and disappearance of organic radicals in the 4-phenylpyridinium derivatives with a cyano group, which can guide tunable luminescence and photochromism.

    Abstract Cancer is one of the most difficult diseases in human society. Therefore, it is urgent for us to understand its pathogenesis and improve the cure rate. Exosomes are nanoscale membrane vesicles formed by a variety of cells through endocytosis. As a new means of intercellular information exchange, exosomes have attracted much attention. Noncoding RNAs exist in various cell compartments and participate in a variety of cellular reactions; in particular, they can be detected in exosomes bound to lipoproteins and free circulating molecules. Increasing evidence has suggested the potential roles of exosomal noncoding RNAs in the progression of tumors. Herein, we present a comprehensive update on the biological functions of exosomal noncoding RNAs in the development of cancer. Specifically, we mainly focus on the effects of exosomal noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs, circular RNAs, long noncoding RNAs, small nuclear RNAs, and small nucleolar RNAs, on tumor growth, metastasis, angiogenesis, and chemoresistance. Moreover, we outline the current clinical implications concerning exosomal noncoding RNAs in cancer treatment.

    Abstract Background: Previous studies indicated inconsistent results for the treatment effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on attention and memory impairment following stroke.
    Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on TMS for the treatment of stroke were retrieved from Online databases. Data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software.
    Results: Ten RCTs performed in China were included, with a total of 591 younger post-stroke patients ranging in age from their 40s to their 60s. The meta-analysis indicated that TMS could significantly improve the recovery of cognitive impairment following a stroke, according to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score (8 studies, MD = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.44 to 3.95, P < 0.0001), the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT) score (7 studies, MD = 1.74, 95% CI:1.13 to 2.34, P < 0.00001), and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) for Activities of Daily Living (3 studies, MD = 8.83, 95% CI:5.34 to 12.32, P < 0.00001). Sub-group analysis of MoCA and RBMT suggested that a low-frequency (1 Hz) stimulation exhibited similar effect with a higher-frequency (10 Hz) treatment.
    Discussion: TMS might effectively improve the attention and memory impairment of stroke patients without increasing side effects. But this effect needs to be verified by more multi-center, high-quality, large-sample, rigorously designed RCTs.

    Abstract The use of artificial cyanobacteria crusts is one of the effective methods to prevention and control of desertification. Soil fine substance is one of the important factors limiting the colonization and growth of artificial cyanobacteria crusts. We compared the growth of artificial cyanobacterial crusts with different fine substance contents by setting the volume ratios of fine substance to quicksand as 0:1, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 and 1:0. The results showed that the cover of artificial cyanobacteria crusts increased gradually with the increases of fine substance contents, while the contents of chlorophyll a and extracellular polysaccharide firstly increased and then decreased slightly. The optimum growth of artificial cyanobacterial crusts was achieved under the treatment of 4:1 ratio. Under such treatment after 60 days of incubation, artificial cyanobacteria crusts cover was 70%, and the contents of chlorophyll a, loosely bound exopolysaccharide (LB-EPS), tightly bound exopolysaccharide (TB-EPS), and glycocalyx exopolysaccharide (G-EPS) were 17.5, 70.0, 175.0, and 200.0 μg·cm

    Abstract Background: The chemotherapy modality is generally used for treating colorectal cancer. However, the clinical application of chemotherapeutic drugs may be limited due to their adverse effects on normal cells/tissues and the development of cancer resistance. Using the combined treatment of chemotherapy drugs and natural bioactive compounds (such as resveratrol) can alleviate adverse drug reactions and induce synergies between the drugs.
    Objective: In the current review, the potential therapeutic impacts of resveratrol during colorectal cancer chemotherapy were studied.
    Methods: Based on the PRISMA guideline, we performed a systematic search in different electronic databases up to May, 2021. Following the search, 321 papers were found and then screened for eligibility. Twenty-seven papers were finally included in the present study Results: Compared to the control group, the growth inhibition of cancerous cells treated with chemotherapeutic drugs was considerably higher, and resveratrol co-administration synergistically increased chemotherapy-induced cytotoxicity. Moreover, a reduction in the tumor weight, volume and growth of mice was observed following chemotherapy administration compared to the untreated groups, and these reductions were predominant in animals treated with resveratrol plus chemotherapy. Other findings showed that chemotherapy alone and in combination with resveratrol modulated the cell cycle profile of cancerous cells. Furthermore, chemotherapy treatment induced a set of biochemical and histopathological alterations in cancer cells/tissues, and these changes were synergized following resveratrol co-treatment (in most of the cases), excluding inflammatory mediators.
    Conclusion: In most cases, resveratrol co-administration could sensitize cancerous cells to chemotherapy drugs through its oxidant, apoptosis, anti-inflammatory activities,

    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most lethal and prevalent solid malignancies worldwide. There is a great need of accelerating the development and diagnosis of CRC. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) as transcribed RNA molecules play an important role in every level of gene expression. Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT1) is a highly conserved nucleus-restricted lncRNA that regulates genes at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. High expression of MALAT1 is closely related to numerous human cancers. It is generally believed that MALAT1 expression is associated with CRC cell proliferation, tumorigenicity, and metastasis. MALAT1 by targeting multiple signaling pathways and microRNAs (miRNAs) plays a pivotal role in CRC pathogenesis. Therefore, MALAT1 can be a potent gene for cancer prediction and diagnosis. In this review, we will demonstrate signaling pathways associated with MALAT1 in CRC.

    Abstract In recent years, tissue engineering has emerged as a promising approach to address limitations of organ transplantation. The ultimate goal of tissue engineering is to provide scaffolds that closely mimic the physicochemical and biological cues of native tissues' extracellular matrix. In this endeavor, new generation of scaffolds have been designed that utilize the incorporation of signaling molecules in order to improve cell recruitment, enhance angiogenesis, exert healing activities, and increase the engraftment of the scaffolds. Among different signaling molecules, the role of erythropoietin (EPO) in regenerative medicine is increasingly being appreciated. It is a biological macromolecule which can prevent programed cell death, modulate inflammation, induce cell proliferation, and provide tissue protection in different disease models. In this review, we have outlined and critically analyzed different techniques of scaffolds' modification with EPO or EPO-loaded nanoparticles. We have also explored different strategies for the incorporation of EPO into scaffolds. Non-hematopoietic functions of EPO have also been discussed. Finalizing with detailed discussion surrounding the applications, challenges, and future perspectives of EPO-modified scaffolds in regenerative medicine.
