A group of low-T(g) photorefractive polymers of double function with carbazole and p-nitrodiazencarbazole called P-2, P-3 and P-4 were synthesized by means of different proportional diazonium salts being diazo-coupled with the poly [bis(6-carbazolhexyloxy)] phosphazene(P-1). P-2, P-3 and P-4 were characterized by 31P NMR, 1H NMR, IR, UV-Vis, GPC, TG and DSC. The result showed that P-2, P-3 and P-4 have good heat stability (T(d) approximately 300 degrees C) and a lower glass transition temperature (T(g) approximately 30-40 degrees C). Their fluorescence properties were studied by photoluminescence and the result showed that P-1 has a stronger fluorescence properties and fluorescence intensity. P-2, P-3 and P-4 have varying degrees of quenching after nitro joining. The fluorescence properties were related with numbers of carbazole and nitro and their molecular space structure.

Background: Among childhood cancer survivors, germline rare variants in autosomal dominant cancer susceptibility genes (AD CSGs) could increase subsequent neoplasm (SNs) risks, but risks for rarer SNs and by age at onset are not well understood.
Methods: We pooled the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study and St Jude Lifetime Cohort (median follow-up = 29.7 years, range 7.

Background: Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic across numerous cancer types that can cause neurotoxicities in patients, including peripheral sensory neuropathy, tinnitus, hearing loss, and vertigo.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate, for the first time, how genetic ancestry impacts cisplatin-induced neurotoxicities and if disparities are related to population differences in allele frequency.
Methods: In a cohort of cisplatin-treated testicular cancer survivors, relationships between genetic ancestry and neurotoxicities, medications, and lifestyle factors were assessed using logistic regression and Kruskal-Wallis tests and multiple pairwise comparisons using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Benjamini-Hochberg adjustment).

Background: A relationship between obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), and multiple sclerosis (MS) has been reported in several observational studies. This study aimed to investigate the potential causal relationship between BMI and the risk of developing MS using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.
Materials And Methods: A two-sample MR analysis was performed using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the exposures - BMI and MS - sourced from publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWAS) at a genome-wide significance threshold of = 5 × 10.

BackgroundCardiopulmonary bypass is associated with systemic inflammation during pediatric cardiac surgery and features elevated systemic concentrations of complement, cytokines and chemokines. The objective of this study is to quantify the immunologic efficacy of ultrafiltration (UF) used continuously throughout CPB.MethodsPediatric patients were enrolled in a single-arm prospective clinical study (NCT05154864) and received standard cardiac operations, CPB and subzero-balance ultrafiltration (SBUF) with an effluent extraction rate of 30 mL/kg/hr and conventional ultrafiltration (CUF).

Background: Large national databases have enabled extensive outcomes research in arthroplasty. Their vast sample sizes, however, raise concerns regarding the identification of statistically significant, but clinically meaningless associations. We hypothesized that completely random pairings between database variables, without any clinical rationale, would still frequently yield statistically significant associations, driven purely by sample size rather than any meaningful relationship.
