Clinical utility of quantitative ultrasonography parameters combined with serum cancer antigen 15‑3, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 and soluble E‑cadherin in diagnosing mass‑type breast cancer.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), a newly developed imaging technique, holds certain value in differentiating benign from malignant tumors. Additionally, serum tumor markers also exhibit significant clinical importance in the diagnosis and monitoring of malignant tumors. Reports have indicated abnormal expression of HER-2, CA153 and sE-cad in breast cancer.

Volatile cues of enhanced attractiveness to Parapanteles hyposidrae (Wilkinson) wasps mediated by jasmonic and salicylic acid pathways synergism in tea plant.

Background: The jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) pathways are often thought to interact antagonistically in plants when mediating anti-herbivore resistance. However, we previously found that the two pathways in tea plant interact synergistically when treated with 1.5 mmol/L methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and 20 mmol/L SA at 12 h intervals (MeJA+SA treatment).

Effects of Cluster vs. Traditional Sets Complex Training on Physical Performance Adaptations of Trained Male Volleyball Players.

This study aimed to examine the impact of different set configurations during combination of resistance and plyometric training (complex [COX]) on jumping ability, power output, strength, and hormonal adaptations in young male volleyball players after a 6-week training period. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with twenty-four trained male volleyball players under the age of 19, who were assigned to one of two groups for lower-body COX training: cluster sets (CS-COX: n = 8) or traditional sets (TS-COX: n = 8), with an additional active control group (CON: n = 8). The players underwent evaluations for countermovement vertical jump (CMVJ), spike jump (SPJ), T-test change of direction speed (T-test CODS), one repetition maximum (1RM) in the back squat and leg press, and the Wingate Anaerobic Test before and after the 6-week training intervention (12 sessions in total).

Biomechanical Analysis of Injury Risk in Two High-Altitude Landing Positions Using Xsens Inertial Units and EMG Sensors.

High-altitude landing maneuvers can pose a significant injury risk, particularly when performed with different landing techniques. This study aims to compare the biomechanical parameters and injury risks associated with two landing positions-staggered foot landing and simultaneous bilateral landing-using Xsens inertial units and electromyography (EMG) sensors. A total of 26 university students (13 males, 13 females) participated in this study.

Cervical cancer diagnosis model using spontaneous Raman and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy with artificial intelligence.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide. Histopathology, which is currently considered the gold standard for cervical cancer diagnosis, can be time-consuming and subjective. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rapid, objective, and non-destructive cervical cancer detection technique.
