A Comparative Study On The Progression Of Neuroendocrine Carcinomas and Mixed Neuroendocrine-Non-Neuroendocrine Neoplasms.

Introduction: The prognostic differences between neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) and mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) remain unclear.

Methods: This study aims to compare the prognostic outcomes of NEC and MiNEN by analyzing the clinicopathological features of these diseases and exploring factors affecting progression after radical surgery. Additionally, we employed whole-exome sequencing to investigate the molecular mechanisms influencing the prognosis of both conditions.

Rhein: An Updated Review Concerning Its Biological Activity, Pharmacokinetics, Structure Optimization, and Future Pharmaceutical Applications.

Rhein is a natural active ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine that has attracted much attention due to its wide range of pharmacological activities. However, its clinical application is limited by low water solubility, poor oral absorption, and potential toxicity to the liver and kidneys. Recently, advanced extraction and synthesis techniques have made it possible to develop derivatives of rhein, which have better pharmacological properties and lower toxicity.

Synergistic Effects Between Mixed Plastics and Their Impact on Pyrolysis Behavior and Pyrolysis Products.

Pyrolysis is recognized as a promising technology for waste plastics management. Although there have been many studies on pyrolysis of waste plastics, there is still a lack of in-depth research on the mechanism of synergistic effect between mixed plastics and the mechanism of product formation. In this paper, based on the pyrolysis characteristics of Polystyrene, Polyethylene, and mixed plastics (Polystyrene/Polyethylene), it is demonstrated that a synergistic effect exists in the co-pyrolysis of Polystyrene/Polyethylene and affects the pyrolysis behavior and pyrolysis products.

Age-Stage, Two-Sex Life Tables of (Bagnall) and (Trybom) on Different Bean Pods Under Laboratory Conditions: Implications for Their Competitive Interactions.

As two major pests of cowpea in South China, bean flower thrips [ (Bagnall)] and flower thrips [ (Trybom)] always occur on the same plant. In this study, the two-sex life table parameters of these two species were investigated on three bean pods: cowpea ( L. var.

Mental Fatigue and Sports Performance of Athletes: Theoretical Explanation, Influencing Factors, and Intervention Methods.

Mental fatigue is an important factor affecting athletes' performance. Explaining the effects of mental fatigue on sports performance from a theoretical point of view can help us deeply understand the interconnection between mental fatigue and sports performance and conduct effective interventions based on this. Combining the relevant literature in China and abroad reveals that the current academic theories on the mechanism of sports fatigue include motivational control theory, underload theory, neural waste disposal hypothesis, and resource depletion theory.
