Dual-network conductive hydrogels based on carboxymethylcellulose/ aminated carbon nanotube reinforcement: Monitoring human micro-expressions and signal changes.

Traditional hydrogel sensors have gained widespread attention in the fields of electronic skin, human-machine interaction and other applications due to their unique flexibility and biocompatibility. However, integrating multiple functions into a single hydrogel remains a challenge. Additionally, most hydrogel preparation processes are complex.

Scalable, robust, omnidirectional antireflective, superhydrophobic coatings based on chitin nanofibers for efficient solar energy collection.

The growing demand for renewable energy has driven the development of antireflective coatings with excellent environmental durability and mechanical robustness, aimed at improving the efficiency of solar energy collection on solar panels. A robust and omnidirectional antireflective superhydrophobic coating with gradient refractive index (1.49 to 1.

Right ventricular function indices and platelet parameters for early prediction value of bronchopulmonary dysplasia: a retrospective study.

Background: To examine the value of early echocardiographic indices for the right ventricular function combined with platelet(PLT) parameters for predicting bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants.

Methods: This retrospective study included infants with gestational age (GA) below 32 weeks, who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU). The detection rate of tricuspid regurgitation jet velocity (TRVJ), ventricular septal flattening, pulmonary artery widening, right ventricular dilation, and right atrial enlargement on the 7th day of life (DOL 7) were compared between BPD and non-BPD infants.

Superb microvascular imaging for evaluating the activity of juvenile localised scleroderma: a preliminary study.

Objectives: To investigate microvascular changes in juvenile localised scleroderma (JLS) lesions using superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and assess SMI's utility in evaluating disease activity.

Methods: This prospective study enroled 16 children (7 males) with pathologically diagnosed JLS between January 2021 and June 2023. Lesions were assessed using Localised Scleroderma Cutaneous Assessment Tools, including the localised scleroderma skin activity index (LoSAI) and localised scleroderma skin damage index (LoSDI).

CircRAD54L2 promotes triple-negative breast cancer progression by regulating the miR-888 family/PDK1 axis.

Background: The long-term prognosis of breast cancer with metastasis remains extremely poor. Genetic alterations in tumor cells result in cellular heterogeneity, promoting cancer cells invasion and colonization in some organs during the metastatic process. CircRNAs are very promising as critical biological markers and precise diagnoses in identifying disease mechanisms and developing new methods for effective treatment.

Expression of RSK4 in lung adenocarcinoma tissue and its clinicopathological value: a study based on RNA-seq data and immunohistochemistry.

The clinical significance of p90-kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) family members in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze genomic alterations in RSK family membersand investigate the expression and clinicopathological significance of RSK4 in LUAD tissues. Genomic calterations of RSK family, overall survival, andinteraction networks were analyzed in patients with LUAD (n=522), using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

Reversible severe fatty liver induced by capecitabine: A case report.

Rationale: Capecitabine (CAP) is a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat breast and gastrointestinal cancers. The most common adverse reactions of CAP primarily included gastrointestinal and dermatological effects. Whereas, the CAP-induced fatty liver had never been reported.

Prognostic Nomogram for Patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma after Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy.

This study was aimed to define possible predictors of overall survival in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Patients were treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), to establish an effective prognostic nomogram that could provide individualized predictions of treatment outcome in this setting. We reviewed the records of 533 patients with non-metastatic NPC who underwent IMRT with or without concurrent chemotherapy at the Department of Radiation Oncology of Sun Yat-Sen University from 2002 to 2009; none of these patients received induction or adjuvant chemotherapy.

MiR-133a is downregulated in non-small cell lung cancer: a study of clinical significance.

Background: Despite present studies which suggested miR-133a as a promising biomarker for several cancers, there still exist no articles concerning the validated clinical significance of miR-133a in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, in this study, we targeted the correlation between miR-133a expression and clinicopathological significance in NSCLC patients.

Methods: The expression of miR-133a in 125 cases of NSCLC and their paired adjacent non-cancerous tissues was evaluated by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Altered localization of p120 catenin in the cytoplasm rather than the membrane correlates with poor prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: P120 catenin (p120ctn), a regulator of cell adhesion, has previously been found in many malignancies, and suggested a role in invasion, metastasis and survival. The aim of this study was to investigate correlations between altered localization of p120ctn and clinical-pathological characteristics in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Methods: Immunohistochemical staining for p120ctn was performed on tissue samples from 118 patients with ESCC.

[Protein microarray analysis on changes in protein phosphorylation in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma].

Objective: To compare the differential phosphorylation level of proteins between relapsed nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC) and primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma (pNPC).

Methods: Total protein was extracted from 4 pNPC tissue and 4 rNPC tissue samples from January 2003 to September 2005. Then it was analyzed by antibody microarray with 656 antibodies.
