Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how high glutathione (GSH) intake affects chemotherapy sensitivity in breast cancer patients.
  • Clinicopathological data from 460 patients were analyzed, revealing a higher recurrence rate in those with excessive GSH intake compared to those who did not take GSH.
  • Findings suggest that high GSH intake, along with other factors, may lead to increased chemotherapy resistance, emphasizing the need for standardized GSH consumption to improve treatment outcomes.

Light control of emergent quantum phenomena is a widely used external stimulus for quantum materials. Generally, perovskite strontium ruthenate SrRuO has an itinerant ferromagnetism with a low-spin state. However, the phase of intermediate-spin (IS) ferromagnetic metallic state has never been seen.

Carbon productivity is the core index to measure the performance of carbon emission reduction. Exploring the driving factors of the spatial-temporal differences in China's transportation sector, carbon productivity (TSCP) is conducive to the low-carbon sustainable development of the transportation sector. Based on the calculation of TSCP in 30 provinces in China from 2000 to 2019, we use time series, spatial visualization, and Dagum Gini coefficient to reveal the characteristics of spatial-temporal evolution and regional differences of TSCP, and uses Geodetector to identify the driving factors that affecting the spatial-temporal differences of TSCP.

In the twenty-first century, global warming and other environmental issues have become the focus of international attention. The total generation of carbon emissions for the railway transportation industry in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, Indian and China) accounted for 25.73% of the global carbon emissions in this industry during 2017.

Objective: To analyze the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BtA) in the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease and depression.

Method: 89 patients with Parkinson's disease and depression were assigned into control group and observation group by random number table method, of which 44 patients in the control group were treated with sertraline and 45 patients in the observation group were treated with BtA. The two groups were compared in terms of mood, cognitive function and adverse reactions.

Self-concept differentiation (SCD) is a sign of fragmentation of the self rather than specialization of role identities for its robust relationship with psychological adjustment. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying the relationship between SCD and psychological adjustment. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of self-consistency and congruence (SCC) in the association between SCD and psychological adjustment (psychological well-being, depression, and anxiety), and the moderating role of age in the relationship between SCD and SCC.

Self-positivity bias is one of the well-studied psychological phenomena, however, little is known about the bias in the specific dimension on social interaction, which we called herein interpersonal self-positivity bias-people tend to evaluate themselves more positively on social interactions, prefer to be included rather than to be excluded by others. In the present study, we used a modified self-reference task associated with N400 to verify such bias and explore whether impoverished social interaction (loneliness) could modulate it. Findings showed that exclusion verbs elicited larger N400 amplitudes than inclusion verbs, suggesting that most people have interpersonal self-positivity bias.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of H2 relaxin (RLN2) on invasion, migration, and chemosensitivity to cisplatin in human osteosarcoma U2-OS and MG-63 cells and then to investigate the effect of RLN2 on the AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway. The expression of RLN2, p-AKT (Ser473), and p-ERK1/2 (Phospho-Thr202/Tyr204) proteins was detected by western blot in OS tissues from 21 patients with pulmonary metastatic disease, and the correlation between RLN2 and p-AKT or RLN2 and p-ERK1/2 expression was investigated. RLN2 expression was inhibited by RLN2 siRNA transfection in the MG-63 cells.

Objective: To evaluate of the curative effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on rat acute radiation pneumonitis.

Methods: Fourty rats were randomly divided into control group, radiation group, stem cell prevention group, stem cell treatment group and prednisone treatment group. All rats except those in the control group were radiated with X ray to establish the acute radiation pneumonitis damage model.
