简介:AbstractMolecular imaging is of great significance for early diagnosis and timely treatment of cancer and disease, as well as basic medical and biological research. As personalized cancer treatment has become increasingly popular, the demand for more advanced imaging technologies has also significantly increased. Taking advantage of differences between the tumor microenvironment and normal tissue cells, tumor microenvironment-responsive or "turn-on" contrast agents have a higher signal-to-noise ratio and lower background interference compared with "turn-off" probes, which can remarkably improve the performance of tumor diagnostics. Thus, tumor microenvironment-responsive contrast agents can not only detect changes in the tumor microenvironment, but also have important significance for tumor diagnosis, prediction of invasion potential, evaluation of treatment effectiveness, planning of therapeutic regimens, and tumor prognosis. Herein, this review focuses on recent research progress of tumor microenvironment-responsive intelligent probes, and highlights future research directions of tumor microenvironment-responsive contrast agents for precision diagnostics.
简介:AbstractPrenatal micronutrients in pregnant women’s diets, including supplements, have an essential role in fetal brain development and may reduce the risk of mental disorders in offspring. Folic acid, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and choline have been investigated for this purpose. Folic acid supplementation throughout pregnancy has well-established positive effects. Vitamin D, administered to the mother before birth or to the newborn, has also been shown to reduce the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. Omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy have a more uncertain role, with recent trials questioning a beneficial effect on cognition and attention deficit disorder, despite positive effects on prematurity and neonatal wheezing prevention. Choline supplementation is associated with positive effects on cognition and behavior, including early behaviors associated with the development of autism and schizophrenia. There is no experience yet with COVID-19, but adverse effects on fetal brain development of most common coronaviruses are mitigated by higher choline levels. Maternal dietary supplementation of nutrients is a benign and inexpensive intervention in pregnancy to prevent life-long disability from mental illness. Use of dietary supplements in poorer, rural areas of China is below recommendations. Physicians, midwives, and public health officials in China can promote prenatal nutrient supplementation to reduce the future burden of mental illnesses that might be prevented before birth.
