Helical Assemblies of Colloidal Nanocrystals with Long-Range Order and Their Fusion into Continuous Structures.

Chirality epitomizes the sophistication of chemistry, representing some of its most remarkable achievements. Yet, the precise synthesis of chiral structures from achiral building blocks remains a profound and enduring challenge in synthetic chemistry and materials science. Here, we demonstrate that achiral colloidal nanocrystals, including Au and Ag nanocrystals, can assemble into long-range-ordered helical assemblies with the assistance of chiral molecules.

Case report: Primary breast osteosarcoma: a case study and literature review.

Primary breast osteosarcoma (PBOS) is an extremely rare and poor prognostic malignancy. Here, we presented a 44-year-old female with a primary osteosarcoma of the breast (POB). Comprehensive imaging examinations conducted on the patient can be used to expand the imaging database for cases of breast osteosarcoma.

The high value utilization characteristics of coal gangue powder with emulsified asphalt mastic through rheological and viscoelastic damage theory.

In order to solve the problems of rutting and early fatigue cracks in emulsified asphalt cold recycled pavement, and the shortage of natural stone resources and new environmental hazards caused by the use of traditional limestone powder filler. In this study, coal gangue powder was added to prepare Emulsified Asphalt Mastic (EAM) to improve the rheological properties and fatigue performance. A series of tests, including frequency scanning, temperature scanning, Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), Linear Amplitude Scanning (LAS), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were conducted.

The effects and predictive values of novel anthropometric parameters on uric acid levels and hyperuricemia in adults.

Novel anthropometric indices are more closely related to metabolic abnormalities than traditional anthropometric indices. Fewer studies have been conducted based on the relationship between novel anthropometric indicators and hyperuricemia. This study was to analyze the serum uric acid (SUA) levels of adults and the relationship between hyperuricemia and these new indicators in Su-Wuxi-Chang area of China, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the management of SUA levels in patients with hyperuricemia.

The P-type ATPase gene AHA5 is involved in proanthocyanidins accumulation in Medicago truncatula.

Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are the second most abundant plant phenolic natural products. The proton membrane H-ATPase (AHA) is required for PA transportation in vacuoles, but it remains unclear which AHA gene(s) encode tonoplast proton pump in M. truncatula.
