Use of indocyanine green fluorescence versus patent blue V dye for sentinel lymph node biopsy in early breast cancer, a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is standard for axillary staging in early breast cancer. While the combination of radioisotope and blue dye (e.g., patent blue V, PBV) remains the standard, it has limitations including logistics, variable identification rate (IR), and allergic potential. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence is a promising alternative, but high-quality comparative evidence is needed. METHODS: This was a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Forty patients with early-stage, node-negative breast cancer were allocated to SLNB using either ICG (n = 20) or PBV (n = 20). All patients subsequently underwent completion level I-II axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) as the pathological reference standard for diagnostic performance assessment. Primary outcome was sentinel lymph node (SLN) IR. Secondary outcomes included detection time, number of SLNs retrieved, false-negative rate (FNR), and safety. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. The SLN IR was significantly higher with ICG (100% [20/20]) than with PBV (75% [15/20], p = 0.047). ICG was associated with a significantly shorter median detection time (14.5 vs. 24.0 min, p < 0.001) and retrieved more SLNs (mean: 3.6 vs. 2.4, p = 0.002). Most critically, ICG demonstrated 100% sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and overall diagnostic accuracy, with a 0% FNR. In contrast, PBV achieved a sensitivity of 75%, an overall diagnostic accuracy of 90%, and an FNR of 25%. No ICG-related adverse events occurred. PBV caused skin discoloration in 75% of patients and one (5%) allergic reaction. CONCLUSION: ICG fluorescence achieved a higher SLN IR, shorter detection time, higher sensitivity, lower FNR, and fewer tracer-related adverse events than PBV as a single tracer for SLNB in patients with early-stage breast cancer. These findings suggest that ICG is a promising standalone tracer when radioisotope mapping is unavailable. Larger multicenter studies are required before widespread adoption can be recommended.

A STORM-based protocol for nanoscale imaging and quantitative analysis of protein-associated and phospholipid-associated structures in natural rubber.

Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) enables nanoscale mapping of molecular components beyond the diffraction limit; however, its reproducible implementation in hydrophobic polymer matrices remains challenging because fluorescence-labeling specificity, fluorophore photoswitching, three-dimensional localization, chromatic registration, and quantitative image analysis must be carefully controlled. This protocol presents a standardized experimental workflow for dual-color labeling, astigmatism-based three-dimensional STORM acquisition, and quantitative analysis of protein-associated and phospholipid-associated structures in natural rubber (NR). The workflow covers sample pretreatment, Cy5 NHS ester labeling of protein-associated primary amines, DiI labeling of phospholipid-rich domains, STORM imaging-buffer preparation, three-dimensional single-molecule localization, dual-channel registration, generation of standardized xy projections, aggregate-size analysis, and projected lateral spatial correlation assessment. Reproducibility is supported by defined acquisition and localization criteria, three independent sample preparations with at least five fields of view analyzed per condition, and unlabeled, single-color, dye-only matrix, and processing-associated Cy5 controls. Mean lateral localization precisions of 11.8 ± 2.3 nm for Cy5 and 13.5 ± 2.9 nm for DiI were obtained, while two-dimensional Fourier ring correlation analysis of the xy projections yielded effective lateral image resolutions of approximately 25 and 28 nm, respectively. Image-based particle segmentation and localization-coordinate-based density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) were applied to standardized xy projections as complementary quantitative approaches. Application of the protocol to untreated, centrifuged, and protease-treated NR samples demonstrated treatment-associated changes in the detected abundance and projected size distributions of protein- and phospholipid-associated aggregates, together with a non-monotonic change in their projected lateral spatial correlation. These observations describe alterations in nanoscale organization but do not, by themselves, establish stable protein-phospholipid complex formation. Unlike previous studies that primarily demonstrated the feasibility of STORM imaging in rubber materials, the principal contribution of this work is an end-to-end, step-by-step protocol incorporating defined controls, three-dimensional localization, image-quality metrics, chromatic-registration procedures, and complementary quantitative-analysis pipelines for non-expert users. The workflow may be adaptable to other hydrophobic polymers and soft-material systems after appropriate optimization and validation.

Engineering copper ferrite (CuFe2O4) nanocomposites for enhanced eco-friendly photocatalysis: a systematic critical review on mechanisms, performance, and environmental applications.

Water pollution caused by organic and inorganic contaminants, particularly dyes and pharmaceuticals, represents a major environmental challenge. Advanced oxidation processes based on photocatalysts have emerged as efficient and sustainable approaches for water and wastewater treatment. Copper ferrite (CuFe2O4) is considered a promising photocatalyst owing to its narrow bandgap, visible-light activity, chemical stability, and magnetic properties. Despite extensive experimental investigations, a comprehensive systematic comparison of CuFe2O4-based photocatalysts under diverse operational conditions has remained limited. In this study, a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted using studies published between January 2014 and November 2025 indexed in Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. From an initial pool of 397 studies, 98 articles met the inclusion criteria. Key parameters - including pollutant type, pH, catalyst dosage, initial pollutant concentration, irradiation time, light source, and degradation efficiency - were quantitatively compared to identify performance trends and operational optima. The results demonstrate that CuFe2O4-based nanocomposites, particularly heterojunction, Z-scheme, and S-scheme architectures combined with TiO2, g-C3N4, graphene, and metal oxides, achieve high degradation efficiencies (often >90 %) for a wide range of organic pollutants and selected inorganic contaminants (e.g., Cr(VI)). Enhanced charge separation and suppressed electron-hole recombination were identified as the primary factors contributing to improved photocatalytic activity. In addition, the intrinsic magnetic properties of these nanocomposites enable facile catalyst recovery and reuse. In conclusion, CuFe2O4-based nanocomposites, especially those incorporating advanced heterojunction architectures, emerge as highly efficient and magnetically recoverable photocatalytic platforms for sustainable water and wastewater treatment, with strong potential for scalable implementation and real-wastewater applications.

Treatment of Established Groin Lymphatic Complications After Arterial Surgery: A Systematic Review.

BACKGROUND: To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of interventions for established groin lymphatic complications after arterial vascular surgery. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched from inception to May 28, 2025. This review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251061708) and conducted according to PRISMA, PRISMA-S, and Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) guidance. Eligible studies included adults with established groin lymphorrhea/lymphocutaneous fistula or seroma/lymphocele after arterial exposure in the common femoral or iliofemoral region. Prophylactic studies were excluded. Two reviewers independently screened studies and assessed full texts. Prespecified outcomes were resolution, time to resolution, length of stay, surgical site infection, wound complications, reintervention, and recurrence. Owing to substantial heterogeneity, meta-analysis was not performed. RESULTS: Eighteen retrospective single-center studies were included; no randomized trials were identified. Reported strategy-family totals were operative control (n = 240, including 55 dye-assisted cases), intranodal lymphangiography with glue embolization (n = 39), intracavitary or chemical instillation (n = 52), negative-pressure wound therapy (n = 20), radiotherapy (n = 206), and drainage or aspiration alone (n = 7). One additional cohort compared nonsurgical with surgical management. Definitions, follow-up windows, and statistical reporting were inconsistent, and arm-level denominators were frequently incomplete. Risk of bias was serious to critical across the evidence base, mainly because of retrospective design, confounding by indication, treatment-selection bias, inconsistent outcome definitions, and incomplete reporting. Using GRADE principles, certainty of evidence was very low across strategies and phenotypes. Across study arms, conduit-directed approaches for external leak and cavity-directed approaches for encapsulated collections often achieved control, but valid comparative inference was not possible. CONCLUSION: Evidence is limited to small retrospective series with heterogeneous definitions, serious to critical risk of bias, and very low certainty. Reliable comparisons between interventions cannot currently be made. Standardized phenotype-specific definitions and outcome reporting are needed to support prospective studies and future trials.
