Organic-Free Synthesis of High-Silica Zeolite Y with Aluminophosphate as the Aluminum Carrier.

The wide application of zeolite Y in petrochemical industry is well known as one of the milestones in zeolite chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis. However, the traditional organic-free synthesis typically produces (hydro)thermally unstable zeolite Y with Si/Al atomic ratio (SAR) less than 2.5.

Engineered protein G variants for multifunctional antibody-based assemblies.

We have developed a portfolio of antibody-based modules that can be prefabricated as standalone units and snapped together in plug-and-play fashion to create uniquely powerful multifunctional assemblies. The basic building blocks are derived from multiple pairs of native and modified Fab scaffolds and protein G (PG) variants engineered by phage display to introduce high pair-wise specificity. The variety of possible Fab-PG pairings provides a highly orthogonal system that can be exploited to perform challenging cell biology operations in a straightforward manner.

Meta-analysis of the ability of mutational profiles on the cancer genome atlas to predict prognosis in endometrial carcinoma.

Background: In 2013, The Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network suggested that endometrial carcinoma patients may be reclassified into four molecular prognostic groups.

Objective: To compare survival of endometrial carcinoma patients with different mutational profiles.

Search Strategy: Studies reporting survival of endometrial carcinoma patients were identified through systematic searches of four databases.

The heterogeneity of Pinus yunnanensis plantation growth was driven by soil microbial characteristics in different slope aspects.

The slope aspect is an important environmental factor, which can indirectly change the acceptable solar radiation of forests. However, the mechanism of how this aspect changes the underground ecosystem and thus affects the growth of aboveground trees is not clear. In this study, Pinus yunnanensis plantation was taken as the research object, and the effects of soil and microbial characteristics on tree growth under different slope aspects and soil depths were systematically analyzed.

Longitudinal MRI evaluation of the efficacy of non-enhanced lung cancer brain metastases.

Brain metastases (BM) are the most prevalent intracranial malignancies. Approximately 30-40% of cancer patients develop BM at some stage of their illness, presenting with a high incidence and poor prognosis. Our clinical findings indicate a significant disparity in the efficacy between non-enhanced and enhanced lung cancer BM.
