Article Abstract
We have developed and characterized a highly manufacturable nanoporous Ag film using a custom-made sputtering system for a surface enhanced Raman scattering substrate for biosensors. The Raman response property of the Ag nanoporous thin film peaked at the same characteristic wavelength as a commercial specimen with an intensity that was 1.5 times higher. We also observed the characteristics of the Ag nanoporous films prepared in this study up to 10 picomole of Rhodamine 6G concentration and 1 picomole and 0.1 picomole using additional signal processing methods. The Raman intensity was at least 10 times higher than the intensity of the Ag nanoporous thin film itself, at densities of 4.3 × 10⁴ cps, 4.0 × 10⁴ cps, 2.9 × 10⁴ cps, and 1.4 × 10⁴ cps. The characteristic peak wavelength also differed. The Raman intensity peak was highest at a wave number of 1513/cm, regardless of the thickness of the Ag nanoporous film, and was found to have a large peak, in the order of 1364/cm, 1314/cm, 612/cm, and 1653/cm. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the Ag nanoporous thin film proposed in this paper can be used as a SERS substrate.

Coordination polymers (CPs) are versatile materials formed by metal ions and organic ligands, offering a broad range of structural and functional possibilities. Phosphonates and phosphinates are particularly attractive ligands for CPs due to their multiple binding sites, varied coordination geometries, and ability to form robust network structures. Phosphonates, considered harder ligands, form strong bonds with hard metals such as Fe, while phosphinates offer additional versatility due to the varied pendant groups on phosphorus.

Background: The cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47)-signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) axis is a key regulator of innate immune surveillance, facilitating the neoplastic evasion of macrophage-mediated phagocytosis. Although this pathway has been implicated in tumor immune escape in multiple malignancies, its clinical and prognostic significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain to be fully elucidated.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 100 patients who underwent esophagectomy for resectable ESCC.

The Gram-negative bacterium Campylobacter jejuni is part of the commensal gut microbiota of numerous animal species and a leading cause of bacterial foodborne illness in humans. Most complete genomes of C. jejuni are from strains isolated from human clinical, poultry, and ruminant samples.

Increased adiposity and chronic psychosocial stress (CPS) are plausible modifiable contributors of the recent increase in early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC). We conducted an 8-week randomized controlled pilot trial evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of time restricted eating (TRE) (daily ad libitum eating between 12-8pm) and Mindfulness ("Mindfulness for Beginners" course from the Calm app) among young adults. Participants were randomized to the following groups: TRE ( = 10); Mindfulness ( = 11); TRE & Mindfulness ( = 11); or Control ( = 11).

Background: Linking cancer cohort participants to state cancer registries typically relies on personally identifiable information, including Social Security Numbers (SSN), which uniquely identify individuals. However, complete SSN collection can be limited due to privacy concerns. This study evaluates the sensitivity of cancer registry linkage using partial or missing SSN and examines differences by demographic characteristics.
