Diet-Related Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer: Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2018.

Diverse dietary constituents, encompassing both macro- and micronutrient intakes, have established connections with various cancers, though their specific roles in cervical cancer remain unclear. This study explores dietary intake correlations among women aged 30 yrs and above diagnosed with cervical cancer ( = 215), contrasted with women without ( = 860). These populations were selected from the 1999-2018 cycle of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Regulatory effect of Zuojin Pill on correlation with gut microbiota and Treg cells in DSS-induced colitis.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: As a classic prescription and commercial Chinese patent medicine, Zuojin Pill (ZJP) has been used to treat ulcerative colitis (UC) effectively for many years. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear.

Aim Of The Study: METHODS: Mice with dextran-sulfate-sodium-induced colitis were treated with ZJP for 7 d.

Pharmacological mechanism of Sishen Wan attenuated experimental chronic colitis by inhibiting wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Sishen Wan (SSW) is a commercial and frequently used Chinese patent medicine listed in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, which is usually used to treat chronic colitis.

Aim Of The Study: We explored the pharmacological mechanism of Sishen Wan attenuated experimental chronic colitis by inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Materials And Methods: Experimental chronic colitis was induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS).

Effect of Puerarin Regulated mTOR Signaling Pathway in Experimental Liver Injury.

It is known that excessive hepatocellular apoptosis is a typical characteristic of hepatic disease, and is regulated by the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. As the main active component of Kudzu () roots, which is frequently used to treat hepatic diseases, Puerarin (Pue) has been reported to alleviate and protect against hepatic injury. However, it is unclear whether Pue can inhibit mTOR signaling to prevent excessive apoptosis in the treatment of hepatic diseases.

Highly Transparent, Conductive, and Bendable Ag Nanowire Electrodes with Enhanced Mechanical Stability Based on Polyelectrolyte Adhesive Layer.

In this paper, a highly transparent, conductive, and bendable Ag nanowire (AgNW)-based electrode with excellent mechanical stability was prepared through the introduction of an adhesive polyelectrolyte multilayer between AgNW networks and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The introduction of the adhesive layer was performed based on a peel-assembly-transfer procedure, and the adhesive polyelectrolyte greatly improved the mechanical stability of the AgNW transparent conductive films (TCFs) without obviously attenuating the morphology and optoelectrical properties of the AgNW networks. The as-prepared AgNW TCFs simultaneously possess high optical transparency, good conductivity, excellent flexibility, and remarkable mechanical stability.

Layer-by-layer strippable Ag multilayer films fabricated by modular assembly.

We have developed a new method to fabricate multilayer films, which uses prepared thin films as modular blocks and transfer as operation mode to build up multilayer structures. In order to distinguish it from the in situ fabrication manner, this method is called modular assembly in this study. On the basis of such concept, we have fabricated a multilayer film using the silver mirror film as the modular block and poly(lactic acid) as the transfer tool.
