Allicin Overcomes Doxorubicin Resistance of Breast Cancer Cells by Targeting the Nrf2 Pathway.

Breast cancer (BC) is a lethal disorder that threatens the life safety of the majority of females globally, with rising morbidity and mortality year by year. Doxorubicin is a cytotoxic anthracycline antibiotic that is widely used as one of the first-line chemotherapy agents for patients with BC. However, the efficacy of doxorubicin in the clinic is largely limited by its serious side effects and acquired drug resistance.

Intelligent Recognition Technology for the Segmentation of Traffic Indication Images Concerning Different Pavement Materials.

Traffic indication is an important part of the road environment, providing information about road conditions, restrictions, prohibitions, warnings, and the current status related to the flow of the traffic and other navigational aspects. The shape, color, and pictogram of a traffic indication are encoded into the visual characteristics of traffic signs. Not paying attention to these traffic signs could lead directly or indirectly to traffic accidents.

A novel prognostic model associated with the overall survival in patients with breast cancer based on lipid metabolism-related long noncoding RNAs.

Background: Lipid metabolism is closely related to the occurrence and development of breast cancer. Our purpose was to establish a novel model based on lipid metabolism-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and evaluate the potential clinical value in predicting prognosis for patients suffering from breast cancer.

Methods: RNA data and clinical information for breast cancer were obtained from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database.

[Effect of extracelluar organic matter and natural organic matter on coagulation].

Influence of EOM and NOM on removal of algae and turbidity was investigated. The result showed that EOM had both beneficial and harmful effects on coagulation, it hindered the charge neutrality of the flocculant. Zeta potential of algae decreased from -40.
