Widespread utilization of glyphosate has led to environmental residues,posing potential threats to ecological systems and human health.Traditional methods for detection of glyphosate are limited by specialized equipment and operational techniques,resulting in inefficient responses.Therefore,it is urgent to develop a convenient,sensitive and accurate detection method for detection of glyphosate.Herein,a new naphthalenesulfonamide-based"Turn-on"fluorescent probe was synthesized using 2-chloroaniline and dansyl chloride as raw materials through a one-step process,which showed a good linear relationship between the glyphosate concentration in concentration range of 0.003-70 μmol/L and the fluorescence intensity(R2=0.995),with a detection limit of 2.73 nmol/L(S/N=3).Analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS)were used to investigate the interaction mechanism between the fluorescent probe and glyphosate.The results indicated that a nucleophilic substitution reaction occurred between the probe and the secondary amine(—NH—)of glyphosate,inducing a photoinduced electron transfer(PET)effect which enhanced the fluorescence intensity by 11.2 times.The probe showed good anti-interference ability towards coexisting metal ions,anions and pesticides in water.When applied to determination of glyphosate in the samples such as tap water,river water(Xiangxi River Reservoir),soil,soybeans,and corn,the spiking recoveries ranged from 94.7%to 109.9%,demonstrating the high accuracy and broad applicability of this detection method.A portable test strip based on this fluorescent probe was developed for rapid semi-quantitative analysis of glyphosate.The developed method was rapid,sensitive,and portable,providing theoretical and technical support for on-site measurement of environmental contaminants.

BACKGROUND:
This study aimed to investigate programmed death-ligand 1 tumor proportion score in predicting the safety and efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 antibody-based therapy in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a real-world setting.
METHODS:
This retrospective, multicenter, observational study enrolled adult patients who received PD-1/PD-L1 antibody-based therapy in China and met the following criteria: (1) had pathologically confirmed, unresectable stage III-IV NSCLC; (2) had a baseline PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS); and (3) had confirmed efficacy evaluation results after PD-1/PD-L1 treatment. Logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and Cox regression were used to assess the progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) as appropriate.
RESULTS:
A total of 409 patients, 65.0% ( n = 266) with a positive PD-L1 TPS (≥1%) and 32.8% ( n = 134) with PD-L1 TPS ≥50%, were included in this study. Cox regression confirmed that patients with a PD-L1 TPS ≥1% had significantly improved PFS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.747, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.573-0.975, P = 0.032). A total of 160 (39.1%) patients experienced 206 irAEs, and 27 (6.6%) patients experienced 31 grade 3-5 irAEs. The organs most frequently associated with irAEs were the skin (52/409, 12.7%), thyroid (40/409, 9.8%), and lung (34/409, 8.3%). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that a PD-L1 TPS ≥1% (odds ratio [OR] 1.713, 95% CI 1.054-2.784, P = 0.030) was an independent risk factor for irAEs. Other risk factors for irAEs included pretreatment absolute lymphocyte count >2.5 × 10 9 /L (OR 3.772, 95% CI 1.377-10.329, P = 0.010) and pretreatment absolute eosinophil count >0.2 × 10 9 /L (OR 2.006, 95% CI 1.219-3.302, P = 0.006). Moreover, patients who developed irAEs demonstrated improved PFS (13.7 months vs. 8.4 months, P <0.001) and OS (28.0 months vs. 18.0 months, P = 0.007) compared with patients without irAEs.
CONCLUSIONS
A positive PD-L1 TPS (≥1%) was associated with improved PFS and an increased risk of irAEs in a real-world setting. The onset of irAEs was associated with improved PFS and OS in patients with advanced NSCLC receiving PD-1/PD-L1-based therapy.

The Baihe Dihuang Decoction(BDD) is a representative traditional Chinese medicine formula that has been used to treat depression. This study employed metabolomics and network pharmacology to investigate the mechanism of BDD in the treatment of depression. Fifty male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly assigned to the normal control group, model group, fluoxetine group, and high-and low-dose BDD groups. A rat model of depression was established through chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS), and the behavioral changes were detected by forced swimming test and open field test. Metabolomics technology was used to analyze the metabolic profiles of serum and hippocampal tissue to screen differential metabolites and related metabolic pathways. Additionally, network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were used to investigate the key targets and core active ingredients of BDD in improving metabolic abnormalities of depression. A "component-target-metabolite-pathway" regulatory network was constructed. BDD could significantly improve depressive-like behavior in CUMS rats and regulate 12 differential metabolites in serum and 27 differential metabolites in the hippocampus, involving tryptophan metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis, alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, tyrosine metabolism, and purine metabolism. Verbascoside, isorbascoside, and regaloside B were the key active ingredients for improving metabolic abnormalities in depression. Epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR), protooncogene tyrosine-protein kinase(SRC), glycogen synthase kinase 3β(GSK3β), and androgen receptor(AR) were the key core targets for improving metabolic abnormalities of depression. This study offered a preliminary insight into the mechanism of BDD in alleviating metabolic abnormalities of depression through network regulation, providing valuable guidance for its clinical use and subsequent research.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a small subset of cells in the tumor bulk with the ability of self-renewal and differentiation, are the key to tumor occurrence, metastasis, drug resistance and relapse. CSCs are resided in a specific microenvironment, and their number maintenance, self-renewal and differentiation are precisely regulated by the microenvironment, and the immune microenvironment is one of the most critical microenvironments for CSCs. In recent years, tumor immunotherapy has achieved great success, but drug resistance and recurrence are frequently occurred after immunotherapy. Compared with non-CSC tumor cells, CSCs harbor stronger immune escape ability, and their roles in tumor immune escape are increasingly followed. In this review, we described the discovery history and lineage sources of CSCs, focused on immune cells in the CSC microenvironment, such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumor-associated macrophages, and tumor-associated dendritic cells, and analyzed the mechanism of CSC-immune cell interaction. Intervention strategies targeting CSCs and their immune microenvironment are also described. With the development and application of advanced technologies such as CSC-immune cell co-culture, single-cell sequencing and lineage tracing, the immune escape of CSCs can be suppressed by targeting the interaction between CSCs and immune cells or reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment, which is expected to provide potential solutions to the problems of drug resistance and relapse in tumor immunotherapy.

The study utilized spectral correlation analyses combined with bioactivity evaluation to examine the effective components of antidepressants in the Baihe Dihuang decoction. Firstly, the chemical fingerprints for different extraction parts in the Baihe Dihuang decoction were achieved using HPLC and UHPLC-MS technology. Then, in order to evaluate the antidepressant effect of Baihe Dihuang decoction, the animal experimental protocol has been reviewed and approved by Laboratory Animal Ethics Committee of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine (No. LLBH-202104270001), in compliance with the Institutional Animal Care Guidelines. We recorded the distance of autonomous movement of mice in open field experiment, the immobility time of tail suspension test, and the forced swimming. Additionally, we measured the content of neurotransmitters. Finally, Pearson analysis, grey correlation analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares regression analysis were utilized to establish the correlation between antidepressant efficacy indicators and fingerprinting. The spectrum-effect relationship results were confirmed through the in vitro activity verification. This study demonstrated that regaloside A, B, C, catalpol, and Isoacteoside might be the main antidepressant components in Baihe Dihuang decoction. Furthermore, it was found that using diverse mathematical models and bioactivity evaluation could enhance the accuracy of the spectral correlation analyses results.
