    Abstract The great need and tendency to apply online classes ask for using new technologies in language teaching. Social Networking (SN) tools, in particular, Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), open new perspectives in language learning and teaching. The employment of SN in language learning may affect the learners' mental health and emotional safety. Despite the attributions of the Telegram application in learning and the contributions of academic buoyancy (AB), academic emotion regulation (AER), and management of foreign language anxiety (FLA) to English achievement (EA), this field was left unexplored. To this end, the current study attempted to gauge the impact of the Telegram-based instruction on AB, AER, FLA, as well as EA. 79 EFL learners took part in the research and were randomly divided in to control group (CG) and experimental group (EG). The instruction for the CG was through regular online instruction (webinar platforms). The EG received Telegram-based instruction. The results of MANOVA displayed significant differences between the post-tests of CG and EG. The findings illustrated that the Telegram instruction improved the levels of AB, AER, and FLA management, which accelerated EA. The pedagogical implications of the study were discussed and may assist learners, teachers, teacher educators, policymakers, materials developers, as well as curriculum designers.

    Abstract The postoperative recurrence has adversely affected the treatment of tumors. Besides, the potential bacterial infection at the wound site may lead to a series of tissue necrosis. Here, we developed an injectable γ-polyglutamic acid/carboxymethyl chitosan/polydopamine hydrogel (PCP) for simultaneously reducing the postoperative infection and preventing the tumor recurrence. On the one hand, the aqueous solution of carboxymethyl chitosan oxidized the dopamine into polydopamine; on the other, the carboxymethyl chitosan was cross-linked with the activated γ-polyglutamic acid to form a hydrogel. After local implantation, the PCP hydrogel effectively killed tumor cells and bacteria under 808 nm laser irradiation. In addition, carboxymethyl chitosan rendered the hydrogel with anti-bacterial properties as well as anti-tumor efficiencies. The anti-tumor recurrence and anti-bacterial efficiencies of PCP hydrogel were proved on a tumor-removed mouse model and a Staphylococcus aureus-infected mouse model, respectively. Moreover, the hydrogel has the advantages of good biocompatibility and simple preparation, and thus has potential application prospects in the prevention of tumor recurrence and wound bacterial infection.

    Abstract Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a complex inflammatory disease caused by multiple etiologies, the pathogenesis of which has not been fully elucidated. Oxidative stress is important for the regulation of inflammation-related signaling pathways, the recruitment of inflammatory cells, the release of inflammatory factors, and other processes, and plays a key role in the occurrence and development of AP. In recent years, antioxidant therapy that suppresses oxidative stress by scavenging reactive oxygen species has become a research highlight of AP. However, traditional antioxidant drugs have problems such as poor drug stability and low delivery efficiency, which limit their clinical translation and applications. Nanomaterials bring a brand-new opportunity for the antioxidant treatment of AP. This review focuses on the multiple advantages of nanomaterials, including small size, good stability, high permeability, and long retention effect, which can be used not only as effective carriers of traditional antioxidant drugs but also directly as antioxidants. In this review, after first discussing the association between oxidative stress and AP, we focused on summarizing the literature related to antioxidant nanomaterials for the treatment of AP and highlighting the effects of these nanomaterials on the indicators related to oxidative stress in pathological states, aiming to provide references for follow-up research and promote clinical application.

    Abstract The conventional method of using montmorillonite hemostatic materials affects the hemostatic effect due to easy dislodgement on the wound surface. In this paper, a multifunctional bio-hemostatic hydrogel (CODM) was prepared based on hydrogen bonding and Schiff base bonding using modified alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and carboxymethyl chitosan. The amino group-modified montmorillonite was uniformly dispersed in the hydrogel by its amido bond formation with the carboxyl groups of carboxymethyl chitosan and oxidized alginate. The catechol group, –CHO, and PVP can form hydrogen bonds with the tissue surface to afford the firm tissue adhesion to afford the wound hemostatic. The addition of montmorillonite-NH₂ further improves the hemostatic ability, making it better than commercial hemostatic materials. Moreover, the photothermal conversion ability (derived from the polydopamine) was synergized with the phenolic hydroxyl group, quinone group, and the protonated amino group to effectively kill the bacteria in vitro and in vivo. Based on its in vitro and in vivo biosafety and satisfactory degradation ratio anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and hemostatic properties, the CODM hydrogel holds promising potential for emergency hemostasis and intelligent wound management.

    Abstract We have identified the novel protein GASP-1 (G protein coupled receptor-associated sorting protein 1) that appears to be a universal cancer marker and the expression of which in tumor tissue and patient sera is predictive of cancer severity (Tuszynski et al. 2011; Zheng et al. 2012; Zheng 2013; Chang and Tuszynski, 2020). In preliminary results we discovered that a GASP-1 antibody inhibited the growth of the triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and transient reduction of GASP-1 in these cells decreased their proliferation. To further substantiate these results, we over and under-expressed GASP-1 in stable clones of MDA-MB-231 cells and evaluated their growth and invasive activities. Cells under-expressing GASP-1 failed to grow after 4 days in culture and eventually died. In contrast GASP-1 expressing cells grew exponentially. Similarly, GASP-1 under-expressing cells formed 30% fewer colonies in soft agar as compared to controls and whereas GASP-1 over-expressing cells formed 2-fold more colonies than controls. In tumor cell invasion assays GASP-1 over-expressing cells were over 10-fold more invasive than controls whereas GASP-1 under-expressing cells were over 10-fold less invasive than controls. In IHC staining studies of breast cancer cells, we found that the overexpressed GASP-1 appear in granules of different sizes that are directly correlated with cancer invasiveness. Our results strongly indicate that GASP-1 promotes proliferation and invasion of the triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and targeting GASP-1 for treatment of breast cancer is indicated.
