- Abstract
The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the radiographic characteristics of children with congenital thumb duplication (CTD) seen in our institution between August 2015 and April 2021; (2) introduce a modified radiographic classification system (MCS) capable of including all cases of CTD based on their radiographic pathoanatomy; and (3) evaluate the inter- and intrarater reliability of the new classification system. We retrospectively reviewed 2,108 patients with 2,300 CTDs. The MCS is based on the Wassel-Flatt and Chung et al classification systems and includes specific subtypes from the Rotterdam and modified Wassel-Flatt classifications. The MCS is characterized by 4 groups according to the anatomical morphology of the duplication: A (joint), B (epiphysis), C (bone), and D (soft tissues). Each group includes 4 subtypes according to the location of the CTD, with subtypes 1–3 extending from the distal phalanx to the metacarpal or interphalangeal joints, then to the carpometacarpal joint, and with subtype 4 only including the triphalangia of the main thumb. Among the 2,300 fingers, 360 (15.7%), 2 (0.1%), and 3 (0.1%) CTDs could not be classified according to the Wassel-Flatt, Chung et al, and Rotterdam classifications, respectively. According to the MCS, the 2 most common forms of CTD were A2 (680/2,300; 29.6%) and D2 (308/2,300; 13.4%). All cases could be classified according to this classification system. The MCS showed excellent intrarater (0.875) and interrater (0.851) reliability relative to the Wassel-Flatt (0.863 and 0.820, respectively), Chung et al (0.793 and 0.822, respectively), and Rotterdam (0.873 and 0.836, respectively) systems. The MCS is a potential radiographic classification for CTD that enables the classification of all patients and has excellent inter- and intrarater reliability. Existing classification systems do not allow classification of the full spectrum of CTD and are not always related to surgery, and some existing systems are complex, with many categories that are rarely encountered, or are difficult to use widely in clinical practice.

- Abstract
Currently, there are no specific drugs or targets available for the treatment of tendinopathy. However, inflammation has recently been found to play a pivotal role in tendinopathy progression, thereby identifying it as a potential therapeutic target. Carpaine (CA) exhibits potential anti-inflammatory pharmacological properties and may offer a therapeutic option for tendinopathy. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of CA in addressing tendinopathy and uncovering its underlying mechanisms. Herein, the efficacy of CA by local administration in vivo in comparison to the first-line drug indomethacin was evaluated in a mouse collagenase-induced tendinopathy (CIT) model. Furthermore, IL-1β induced a simulated pathological inflammatory microenvironment in tenocytes to investigate its underlying mechanisms in vitro. Further confirmation experiments were performed by overexpressing or knocking down the selective targets of CA in vivo. The findings demonstrated that CA was dose-dependent in treating tendinopathy and that the high-dose group outperformed the first-line drug indomethacin. Mechanistically, CA selectively bound to and enhanced the activity of the E3 ubiquitin ligase LRSAM1 in tendinopathy. This effect mediated the ubiquitination of p65 at lysine 93, subsequently promoting its proteasomal degradation. As a result, the NF-κB pathway was inactivated, leading to a reduction in inflammation of tendinopathy. Consequently, CA effectively mitigated the progression of tendinopathy. Moreover, the LRSAM1 overexpression demonstrated effectiveness in mitigating the tendinopathy progression and its knockdown abolished the therapeutic effects of CA. CA attenuates the progression of tendinopathy by promoting the ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of p65 via increasing the enzyme activity of LRSAM1. The exploration of LRSAM1 has also unveiled a new potential target for treating tendinopathy based on the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• PDA selectively adsorbs aflatoxins and ochratoxins from edible vegetable oil. • The process of PDA@Fe 3 O 4 -MWCNTs is physical multi-molecular layer adsorption. • The recovery was 70.15-89.25%, RSD was ≤6.3%, show that the method is reliable. A new, green, and cost-effective magnetic solid-phase extraction of aflatoxins and ochratoxins from edible vegetable oils samples was developed using polydopamine-coated magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PDA@Fe 3 O 4 -MWCNTs) as the absorbent. PDA@Fe 3 O 4 -MWCNTs nanomaterials were prepared by chemical co-precipitation and in situ oxidation and self-polymerization of dopamine and was characterized. Factors affecting MSPE and the adsorption behavior of the adsorbent to mycotoxins were studied, and the optimal extraction conditions of MSPE and the complexity of the adsorption process were determined. Based on this, the magnetic solid-phase extraction-high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection method (MSPE-HPLC-FLD) was established for determining six mycotoxins [aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1), AFB 2 , AFG 1 , and AFG 2 , and ochratoxin A (OTA) and OTB)] in vegetable oils. The recovery was 70.15%~89.25%, and RSD was ≤6.4%. PDA@Fe 3 O 4 -MWCNTs showed a high affinity toward aflatoxins and ochratoxins, allowing selective extraction and quantification of aflatoxins and ochratoxins from complex sample matrices.

• A strategy was proposed to enhance sensitivity of immunochromatographic assay (ICA). • Two probes were constructed based on quantum dot nanobeads, protein A and anti-IgG antibody. • The probes are oriented to Fc region of anti-E2 antibody to fully expose Fab region. • The ICA based on universal probes achieved high-sensitivity and rapid detection of E2 in milk. • The prepared universal probes could be applied for the detection of any antigen per strip. The pollution caused by estrogens in the environment and food has received increasing attention. It is still challenging for on-site immunochromatographic assay (ICA) detection of estrogens. The performance of the prepared probes plays a decisive role in the sensitivity and stability of the ICA system. The published probes usually directly couple the detection antibody to the label, ignoring the influence of the label on the activity of the antibody. In this study, 17β-estradiol (E 2) was used as a model analyte for the ICA system. Two universal probes were constructed based on quantum dot nanobeads (QBs), recombinant protein A (SPA, from Staphylococcus aureus), and rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin G antibody (anti-IgG). The probes were prepared by coupling QBs with SPA, releasing anti-E 2 monoclonal antibody (mAb), and maintaining its activity. The prepared universal probes can orient recognize the Fc region of mAb and fully expose its Fab region, improving the detection sensitivity of the ICA system. The free anti-E 2 mAb and the universal probe (QBs@SPA or QBs@SPA@anti-IgG) were used as the detection antibodies and signal donors, respectively. The results show that the proposed ICA based on QBs@SPA and QBs@SPA@anti-IgG probes could detect E 2 with IC 50 of 8.83 and 0.93 ng/mL, respectively, within 15 min under optimal conditions. The recovery results of ICA based on QBs@SPA and QBs@SPA@anti-IgG probes showed good agreement with the findings of the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis for spiked samples. The developed ICA system based on universal probes was superior in terms of sensitivity, rapidity, and applicability, and held great promise for its implementation in detecting environmental and food small-molecule pollutants.
