Comprehensive and High‐Throughput Exploration of Chemical Space Using Broadband 19F NMR‐Based Screening
Fragment‐based lead discovery has become a fundamental approach to identify ligands that efficiently interact with disease‐relevant targets. Among the numerous screening techniques, fluorine‐detected NMR has gained popularity owing to its high sensitivity, robustness, and ease of use. To effectively explore chemical space, a universal NMR experiment, a rationally designed fragment library, and a sample composition optimized for a maximal number of compounds and minimal measurement time are required....

Chemical Synthesis and Immunological Evaluation of Helicobacter pylori Serotype O6 Tridecasaccharide O‐Antigen Containing a Unique DD‐Heptoglycan
The development of glycoconjugate vaccines against Helicobacter pylori is challenging. An exact epitope of the H. pylori lipopolysaccharides (LPS) O‐antigens that contain Lewis determinant oligosaccharides and unique DD‐heptoglycans has not yet been identified. Here, we report the first total synthesis of H. pylori serotype O6 tridecasaccharide O‐antigen containing a terminal Ley tetrasaccharide, a unique α‐(1→3)‐, α‐(1→6)‐ and α‐(1→2)‐linked heptoglycan, and a β‐D‐galactose connector through...

Hyaluronic acid presentation at the surface of self‐assembled nanoparticles transforms a hyaluronidase HYAL1 substrate into an efficient and selective inhibitor
In this study, an original method of macromolecular design was used to develop a hyaluronidase‐1 (HYAL1) inhibitor from its principal substrate, hyaluronic acid (HA). HA‐based nanoparticles (HA‐NP) were obtained by copolymer self‐assembly and their effects on HYAL1 activity were investigated by combining different analytical tools. Compared to HA, HA‐NP exhibited an enhanced stability against HYAL1 degradation while maintaining its interaction with HA receptors CD44 and aggrecan. HA‐NP displayed...

Enzyme‐Triggered Disassembly of Perylene Monoimide‐based Nanoclusters for Activatable and Deep Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exhibits great potential for cancer therapy, but still suffers from nonspecific photosensitivity and poor penetration of photosensitizer. Here, a smart perylene monoimide‐based nanocluster with enzyme‐triggered disassembly is reported as an activatable and deeply penetrable photosensitizer. A novel carboxylesterase (CE)‐responsive tetrachloroperylene monoimide (P1) was synthesized and assembled with folate‐decorated albumins into a nanocluster ( FHP ) with a diameter...

Abstract We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of narrowband imaging (NBI) in terms of detecting laryngeal cancer compared to that of white light endoscopy (WLE). Two reviewers individually searched the six databases for studies published between the first record date and December 31, 2019. We recorded the numbers of true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives. Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies ver. 2 software was used to assess the studies. The extent...

CCR8 blockade primes anti-tumor immunity through intratumoral regulatory T cells destabilization in muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a major role in the development of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Systemic Treg depletion is not favored because of the critical role of Tregs in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing the autoimmunity. Recently, CCR8 has been identified as an important chemokine receptor expressed on intratumoral Tregs and is known to be critical for CCR8+Treg-mediated immunosuppression. However, the inherent molecular mechanisms and...

Immunohistochemical Analysis of the Metabolic Phenotype of Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma
Abstract Metabolic reprogramming is a cellular process contributing to carcinogenesis. However, it remains poorly understood in adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC), an aggressive malignancy with overall poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. We characterized the metabolic phenotype of ACC, by examining the immunoprofile of key proteins involved in glucose metabolism, hexokinase (HK1), pyruvate kinase (PKM1, PKM2), succinate dehydrogenase (SDHB), and phospho-S6 ribosomal...

Application of holographic augmented reality for external approaches to the frontal sinus
Background External approaches to the frontal sinus such as osteoplastic flaps are challenging because they require blind entry into the sinus, posing risks of injury to the brain or orbit. Intraoperative computed tomography (CT)‐based navigation is the current standard for planning the approach, but still necessitates blind entry into the sinus. The aim of this work was to describe a novel technique for external approaches to the frontal sinus using a holographic augmented reality (AR) application....

Poor academic performance in offspring of survivors with childhood or adolescent central nervous system tumour in Sweden
Abstract The number of children who were born after their parents were diagnosed with central nervous system (CNS) tumour is increasing, but it is still largely unknown regarding the academic performance of these children. We aimed to investigate whether children of survivors with childhood or adolescent CNS tumour were associated with poor academic performance. Children of survivors of CNS tumour were identified by combining the nationwide Swedish Cancer Register and the Multi‐Generation Register,...
