Asymmetric Cu─N─Ru Bridgedsite Nanozyme‐Loaded Injectable Thermogel Boosts Cuproptosis‐Like Death for Multidrug‐Resistant Urinary Tract Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To address multidrug‐resistant urinary tract infections (MDR‐UTIs), we developed Cu‐ZIF8‐Ru nanozyme featuring an asymmetric Cu─N─Ru catalytic site. This unique structure enhances multienzyme‐mimetic activity, eradicating resistant bacteria by inducing a cuproptosis‐like death pathway through intracellular Cu2+ accumulation and energy depletion.

A Renal Clearable Probe for In Vivo Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A renal‐clearable Cy7‐based fluorogenic probe enables rapid and non‐invasive detection of monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in vivo. Upon MAO‐mediated activation, the fluorescent product is efficiently excreted in urine, allowing direct quantification of enzyme overexpression.

Piezo1 Channel Mediates Mechanically Programmable Drug Delivery to Potentiate Intravesical Chemotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes programmable mechanical pressure as a therapeutic enhancer to establish a mechano‐chemotherapy strategy. Controlled pressure activates the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in bladder cancer, triggering a calcium ion cascade that transiently and reversibly amplifies membrane permeability to chemotherapeutics.

Short‐Term Outcomes of Robot‐Assisted Versus Laparoscopic Colectomy for Colon Cancer: A Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study compared short‐term outcomes of robot‐assisted versus laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer using 1:1 propensity score matching. Among 218 matched pairs, robot‐assisted colectomy was associated with reduced blood loss, fewer conversions to open surgery, lower overall complication rates, and shorter hospital stays, despite longer operative ...

Twenty‐Year Longitudinal Cohort Study of Cancer Incidence and Mortality Among Workers in Two Primary Aluminum Prebake Smelters

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, aluminum production has been transitioning towards lower polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon‐emitting prebake smelters. This study explored the risk of cancer and mortality over 20 years follow‐up among a cohort of aluminum prebake smelter workers ...
