Although 70-80% of patients with CS have an identifiable germline PTEN mutation, the clinical diagnosis presents many challenges because of the phenotypic and genotypic variations. In the present study, we sequenced the exons and the promoter of PTEN gene, mutations and variations in the promoter and exons were identified, and a PTEN protein expression negative region was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). In conclusion, a novel promoter mutation we found in PTEN gene may turn off PTEN protein expression occasionally, leading to the disorder of PTEN and untypical CS manifestations.展开更多

Recent studies have showcased SACs with robust capabilities for precise catalysis, specifically targeting reactions along designated pathways. This review focuses on the advances in the precise activation and reconstruction of chemical bonds on SACs, including precise activation of C–O and C–H bonds and selective couplings involving C–C and C–N bonds. Our discussion begins with a thorough exploration of the factors that render SACs skilled in precise catalytic processes, encompassing the narrow d-band electronic state of single atom site resulting in the adsorption tendency, isolate site resulting in unique adsorption structure, and synergy effect of a single atom site with its neighbors. Subsequently, we elaborate on the applications of SACs in electrocatalysis and thermocatalysis including four prominent reactions, namely, electrochemical CO_(2) reduction, urea electrochemical synthesis, CO_(2) hydrogenation, and CH4 activation. Then the concept of rational design of SACs for precisely controlling reaction pathways is discussed from the aspects of pore structure design, support-metal strong interaction, and support hydrophilic/hydrophobic. Finally, we summarize the challenges encountered by SACs in the field of precise catalytic processes and outline prospects for their further development in this domain.展开更多

文摘Single-atom catalysts (SACs), characterized by exceptionally high atom efficiency, have garnered significant attention across various catalytic reactions. Recent studies have showcased SACs with robust capabilities for precise catalysis, specifically targeting reactions along designated pathways. This review focuses on the advances in the precise activation and reconstruction of chemical bonds on SACs, including precise activation of C–O and C–H bonds and selective couplings involving C–C and C–N bonds. Our discussion begins with a thorough exploration of the factors that render SACs skilled in precise catalytic processes, encompassing the narrow d-band electronic state of single atom site resulting in the adsorption tendency, isolate site resulting in unique adsorption structure, and synergy effect of a single atom site with its neighbors. Subsequently, we elaborate on the applications of SACs in electrocatalysis and thermocatalysis including four prominent reactions, namely, electrochemical CO_(2) reduction, urea electrochemical synthesis, CO_(2) hydrogenation, and CH4 activation. Then the concept of rational design of SACs for precisely controlling reaction pathways is discussed from the aspects of pore structure design, support-metal strong interaction, and support hydrophilic/hydrophobic.

文摘Background:Hepatocholangiocarcinoma(H-ChC)has the clinicopathological features of both hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(iCCA)and is a more aggressive subtype of primary hepatic carcinoma than HCC or iCCA.Methods:We sequenced 91,112 single-cell transcriptomes from 16 human samples to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the coexistence of HCC and iCCA components in H-ChC.Results:We observed two molecular subtypes of H-ChC at the whole-transcriptome level(CHP and CIP),where a metabolically active tumour cell subpopulation enriched in CHP was characterized by a cellular pre-differentiation property.To define the heterogeneity of tumours and their associated microenvironments,we observe greater tumour diversity in H-ChC than HCC and iCCA.H-ChC exhibits weaker immune cell infiltration and greater CD8+exhausted T cell(Tex)dysfunction than HCC and iCCA.Then we defined two broad cell states of 6,852 CD8+Tex cells:GZMK+CD8+Tex cells and terminal CD8+Tex cells.GZMK+CD8+Tex cells exhibited higher infiltration of after treatment in H-ChC,the effector scores and expression of the immune checkpoints of them greatly increased after immunotherapy,which indicated that H-ChC might be more sensitive than HCC or iCCA to immunotherapy.Conclusions:In this paper,H-ChC was explored,hoping to contribute to the study of mixed tumours in other cancers.

文摘Zeolites are typically synthesized in alkaline or fluoride-containing near-neutral media.Sophisticated organic structure-directing agents have been investigated for such systems with the aim of discovering materials with unprecedented structures and properties for novel technical applications.In contrast,zeolite crystallization in strongly acidic media has yet to be explored.This study demonstrates that a zeolitic silicate phase crystallizes from acidic gels using trimethylamine as an organic additive with the composition 1 SiO_(2):0.3 TMA:0.3 HCl:0.15 HF:55 H_(2)O:(0.1-0.4)GeO_(2).This phase has an interrupted four-connected framework analog to the octahedron/tetrahedron-mixed framework of the mineral family pharmacosiderite.In comparison to the pharmacosiderite-type HK_(3)(Ge_(7)O_(16))(H_(2)O)_(4),the four GeO_(6)-octahedra forming the central[HGe_(4)O_(4)O_(12)]-cluster are replaced by four SiO_(4)-tetrahedra in a[Si_(4)O_(6)(OH)2.89]-unit in the new phase.However,the structure is distorted and may contain connectivity and point defects;thus,healing by the occasional incorporation of GeO_(6)-units is necessary.The refined unit cell has a cubic symmetry,space group P-43m(#215),with a=7.7005(1)Å.Acidic-medium synthesis is a useful way to find new zeolites that move in a fundamentally different direction from sophisticated organic structure-directing agents.

文摘Background:The development of immunotherapy resistance is associated with a poor prognosis in patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)who are undergoing treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICI).This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subsequent radiotherapy(RT)for patients with advanced-stage HCC who had lesion enlargement or new lesions(NLs)during ICI therapy.Methods:This retrospective observational study enrolled 36 patients with advanced-stage HCC who underwent subsequent RT for lesion enlargement or NLs during ICI therapy from two centers.The primary endpoints were progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS).The secondary endpoints included objective response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR),1-and 2-year local control(LC)rates,in-field PFS(IFPFS),out-field PFS(OFPFS),and safety.Results:The median follow-up time was 15.3 months.The median PFS was 7.4 months[95%confidence interval(CI):3.1-11.7 months],and the median OS was 18.8 months(95%CI:17.1-20.5 months).ORR and DCR were 38.9%and 72.2%,respectively.In addition,the median IFPFS was 17.8 months(95%CI:11.5-24.2 months),median OFPFS was 7.9 months(95%CI:3.4-12.5 months),and estimated 1-and 2-year LC rates were 67.1%and 31.9%,respectively.The most common treatment-related adverse events(all grades)were diarrhea(33.3%),rash(30.6%),and malaise(27.8%);a total of 14(38.9%)patients developed grade 3-4 AEs.Conclusions:Subsequent RT showed reliable antitumor effects and an acceptable safety profile in patients with advanced-stage HCC who had unsatisfactory response to ICI therapy;therefore,it could serve as an optional salvage strategy.
文摘城市化是生物多样性快速丧失的主要原因之一。鸟类作为城市生态系统的重要组成部分,其生物多样性格局和物种保护已成为城市生态学研究的热点。为揭示城市化过程中城区和郊区破碎化林地中鸟类群落的多样性差异和嵌套格局,本研究于2021年春、夏季鸟类繁殖期采用样线法对海口和三亚市的城区、郊区共13个林地斑块中的鸟类群落进行调查。使用NODF(nestedness metric based on overlap and decreasing fill)和WNODF(weighted nestedness metric based on overlap and decreasing fill)方法进行嵌套格局分析。研究发现:(1)共记录到林鸟100种,隶属于11目39科,其中三亚郊区的鸟类丰富度最高,共8目29科68种。记录到国家重点保护鸟类共18种,其中两城市郊区的国家重点保护鸟类物种数均多于城区,海口郊区还记录到国家I级重点保护鸟类黄胸鹀(Emberiza aureola)。(2)鸟类群落多度、物种丰富度、Pielou均匀度指数和Shannon-Wiener多样性指数在不同区域中均存在差异。海口城区的鸟类群落多度显著高于海口郊区(P<0.05),三亚郊区的鸟类群落物种丰富度、Pielou均匀度指数和Shannon-Wiener多样性指数均显著高于三亚城区和海口郊区(P<0.05)。(3)嵌套分析结果表明,海口和三亚市的城区、郊区林地鸟类群落均呈现反嵌套分布格局。线性回归分析显示,三亚市城区和郊区的斑块面积与鸟类物种丰富度呈显著正相关,而物种丰富度与斑块距最近大面积林地的距离之间无显著相关性。研究表明,两城市鸟类群落多样性都表现出郊区高于城区的特点,少数优势种(如白头鹎Pycnonotus sinensis)占据了城市中的主要生态位。受城市化的影响,海口郊区与城区鸟类群落有同质化的趋势。鸟类在城区和郊区斑块间的高流动性、种间竞争和斑块中资源的可利用性等因素可能导致斑块间鸟类群落的反嵌套分布格局。我们建议应加强城区和郊区鸟类的保护,减少对林地的破坏,提高城市鸟类多样性。

文摘Vegetation maps are important sources of information for biodiversity conservation,ecological studies,vegetation management and restoration,and national strategic decision making.The current Vegetation Map of China(1:1000000)was generated by a team of more than 250 scientists in an effort that lasted over 20 years starting in the 1980s.However,the vegetation distribution of China has experienced drastic changes during the rapid development of China in the last three decades,and it urgently needs to be updated to better represent the distribution of current vegetation types.Here,we describe the process of updating the Vegetation Map of China(1:1000000)generated in the 1980s using a‘‘crowdsourcing-change detection-classification-expert knowledge"vegetation mapping strategy.A total of 203,024 field samples were collected,and 50 taxonomists were involved in the updating process.The resulting updated map has 12 vegetation type groups,55 vegetation types/subtypes,and 866 vegetation formation/sub-formation types.The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient of the updated map are 64.8%and 0.52 at the vegetation type group level,61%and 0.55 at the vegetation type/subtype level and 40%and 0.38 at the vegetation formation/sub-formation level.When compared to the original map,the updated map showed that 3.3 million km^2 of vegetated areas of China have changed their vegetation type group during the past three decades due to anthropogenic activities and climatic change.We expect this updated map to benefit the understanding and management of China’s terrestrial ecosystems.

文摘Background:A therapeutic strategy involving combined treatment with lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab(LEP)has demonstrated a relatively high antitumor response in several solid tumors;however,the efficacy and safety of LEP in patients with refractory bile tract carcinoma(BTC)remains unknown.Methods:This is a single-arm study for a preliminary assessment of the efficacy and tolerability of LEP in patients who experienced progression from prior systemic treatments.Pre-treatment tumor tissues were collected to retrospectively evaluate the expression status of PDL1.Results:Thirty-two patients received second-line and above treatment with LEP.Overall,the objective response rate(ORR)was 25%,the disease control rate(DCR)was 78.1%,and the clinical benefit rate(CBR)was 40.5%.The median progression-free survival(PFS)was 4.9 months(95%CI:4.7–5.2 months),and the median overall survival(OS)was 11.0 months(95%CI:9.6–12.3 months).For tolerability,no grade 5 serious adverse events(AEs)were reported.All patients had any-grade AEs,and 59.3%of the patients experienced grade 3 AEs,while only 1 patient experienced a grade 4 AE of stomach bleeding.Fatigue was the most common AE,followed by hypertension and elevated aminotransferase levels.Retrospective analysis for PDL1 expression revealed that PDL1 positive tumor cells were associated with improved clinical benefits and survival outcomes.Conclusions:LEP is a promising alternative as a non-first-line therapeutic regimen for patients with refractory BTC.Furthermore,well-designed prospective clinical trials with a control arm are still needed to obtain more evidences to confirm the efficacy and safety of this particular regimen as well as the role of PDL1 expression.
