Breast cancer (BC)is the most common malignant tumor in women, and the treatment process not only results in physical pain but also significant psychological distress in patients. Psychological intervention (PI) has been recognized as an important approach in treating postoperative psychological disorders in BC patients. It has been proven that PI has a significant therapeutic effect on post-operative psychological disorders, improving patients' negative emotions, enhancing their psychological resilience, and effectively enhancing their quality of life and treatment compliance.

Maslinic acid (MA) is a phytochemical with anti-inflammatory activity. However, it remains unknown whether it can inhibit diabetes-associated cardiovascular inflammation.

This method is based on a preferable adsorption of linear polynuclear aromatic dyes on metallic SWNTs. With different adsorption amount of soluble dyes, the metallic and semconducting SWNTs show different solubility in solvents, hence can be separated.

These models consist of linear, T- and H-shaped junctions within the connection modes between carbon nanotube and graphene nanoribbon units. The electronic transport properties of different junctions have been systematically investigated by using the non-equilibrium Green's function.

The synthesis is based on a C3v-symmetrical hexakis(chloromethyl)tribenzotriquinacene as the key intermediate and yields the inter-ring metacyclophane-type macrocyclization instead of the intra-ring orthocyclophane-type cyclocondensation. Multiple nucleophilic substitution of the same key intermediate leads to a number of other new 6-fold functionalized tribenzotriquinacenes, some of which may be of interest as readily accessible building blocks for the construction of novel bowl-shaped organic networks.
