Background: Explosive tumor growth is characterized by rapid tumor growth in a short time period. Currently, there is no precise scientific definition for the condition, which is often accompanied with a poor clinical prognosis. Herein, we presented a study of a young patient with colon cancer who experienced explosive tumor growth.

Ammonium phosphomolybdate (APM) is often used for the adsorption of Cs. However, the decomposition temperature of cesium-containing ammonium phosphomolybdate waste is low and difficult to dispose of. This study introduces the first use of cold sintering to solidify ammonium phosphomolybdate monomers at low temperatures.

is a significant avian pathogen causing infectious diseases in poultry, with hatching playing a crucial role in its transmission. Despite its importance, systematic research on transmission in hatcheries remains limited. This study evaluates the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of throughout all production stages in yellow-feathered broiler hatcheries: laying, egg storage, incubating, hatching, and post-hatch.

The feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is a highly contagious virus that affects cats worldwide, characterized by leukopenia, high temperature and diarrhea. Recently, the continuous prevalence and variation of FPV have attracted widespread concern. The aim of this study was to investigate the isolation, genetic evolution, molecular characterization and epidemiological analysis of FPV strains among cats and dogs in China from 2019 to 2024.

We study the chaotic motion of a semi-classical optomechanical system coupled to a non-Markovian environment with a finite correlation time. By studying the emergence of chaos using the Lyapunov exponent with the changing non-Markovian parameter, we show that the non-Markovian environment can significantly enhance chaos. It is observed that a non-Markovian environment characterized by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type noise can modify the generation of chaos with different environmental memory times.

Article Synopsis
  • Pigeon Newcastle disease (ND) is an infectious disease caused by the Newcastle disease virus, primarily affecting pigeons and doves, with genotype VI being a significant contributor.
  • A study in China identified eight NDV strains that displayed mesogenic characteristics and showed a high genetic similarity to reference strains, indicating their potential danger.
  • The prevalence of these strains, especially sub-genotype VI.2.1.1.2.2, has been increasing since 2011, underlining the urgent need to monitor NDV outbreaks in pigeons in China.

Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium, an important foodborne pathogen with high adaptability to the host's internal and external survival environment, seriously threatens public health. Therefore, to understand the mechanism underlying the high adaptability, this study investigated the transcription factor BolA by constructing BolA deletion strain 269△BolA, complemented strain 269BolAR and overexpression strain 269BolA+ based on WT269. BolA significantly inhibited motility; at 6 h, the BolA overexpression strain (269BolA+) showed 91.

Background: Induction chemotherapy combined with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has been recommended for patients with high-risk, locally advanced rectal cancer. However, the benefit of more intensive total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) is unknown. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of induction chemotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy and consolidation chemotherapy for magnetic resonance imaging-stratified high-risk rectal cancer.

The coexistence of and in the plasmid of has been widely reported and such strains have been mainly isolated from animal and human feces. However, few reports have focused on the genetic diversity of -carrying chromosomes and -carrying plasmids in isolates from lesion-bearing animal organs. This study investigated the genetic characteristics of chromosome-mediated and plasmid-mediated in isolated from lesion-bearing animal organs.

Attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium is a promising antigen delivery system for live vaccines such as polysaccharides. The length of polysaccharides is a well-known key factor in modulating the immune response induced by glycoconjugates. However, the relationship between the length of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O-antigen (OAg) and the immunogenicity of S.

Background: Approximately 10% of stage I colorectal cancer (CRC) patients experience unfavorable clinical outcomes after surgery. However, little is known about the subset of stage I patients who are predisposed to high risk of recurrence or death. Previous evidence was limited by small sample sizes and lack of validation.

Background: Prognostic and pathologic risk factors typically guide clinicians and patients in their choice of surveillance or adjuvant chemotherapy when managing high-risk stage II colon cancer. However, variations in treatment and outcomes in patients with stage II colon cancer remain.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the survival benefits of treatments concordant with suggested therapeutic options from Watson for Oncology, a clinical decision support system.

Replicated multiple scale species distribution models (SDMs) have become increasingly important to identify the correct variables determining species distribution and their influences on ecological responses. This study explores multi-scale habitat relationships of the snow leopard () in two study areas on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of western China. Our primary objectives were to evaluate the degree to which snow leopard habitat relationships, expressed by predictors, scales of response, and magnitude of effects, were consistent across study areas or locally landcape-specific.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are an emerging class of non-coding RNAs, identified to participate in multiple malignancies. Nevertheless, the clinical significance, biological function, and regulatory mechanisms of circRNAs in colon cancer (CC) remain largely unclear. In this study, the circRNA expression profile in CC and matched normal tissues was analyzed using circRNA microarrays.

Background: Heterogeneity with respect to recurrence and survival in high-risk stage II colon cancer patients still exists, and further classification is urgently required. This study aimed to ascertain the prognostic value of DNA ploidy, stroma-tumour fraction and nucleotyping in the prognosis of high-risk stage II colon cancer.

Methods: A total of 188 high-risk stage II colon cancer patients received radical surgery in Peking University Cancer Hospital, from 2009 to 2015.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the complexity of bitterness in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by mixing various bitter compounds to understand their superposition effects.
  • The research involved evaluating bitterness using traditional taste panels and an electronic tongue, leading to the establishment of bitterness-concentration models based on Weibull and logarithmic functions.
  • Results demonstrated that the bitterness of the mixtures aligns with these models, revealing that the influence of the original or "mother" liquor on the overall bitterness diminishes as the concentration of additive substances increases.

The lungs are the second most common site of metastasis for colorectal cancer (CRC) after the liver. Rectal cancer is associated with a higher incidence of lung metastases compared to colon cancer. In China, the proportion of rectal cancer cases is around 50%, much higher than that in Western countries (nearly 30%).

To understand the effect of forests and wetlands on air quality, the PM and PM concentration and meteorological data were collected in the forest and wetland in the Beijing Olympic Forest Park in China from May 2106 to May 2017. The blocking rates of forest and wetland to PMs were calculated under different air quality grades which were divided into six levels base on a technical regulation. And we have got three main conclusions.

Habitat evaluation constitutes an important and fundamental step in the management of wildlife populations and conservation policy planning. Geographic information system (GIS) and species presence data provide the means by which such evaluation can be done. Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) is widely used in habitat suitability modeling due to its power of accuracy and additional descriptive properties.
