Lipid Levels and Lung Cancer Risk: Findings from the Taiwan National Data Systems from 2012 to 2018.

Background: Lipids are known to be involved in carcinogenesis, but the associations between lipid profiles and different lung cancer histological classifications remain unknown.

Methods: Individuals who participated in national adult health surveillance from 2012 to 2018 were included. For patients who developed lung cancer during follow-up, a 1:2 control group of nonlung cancer participants was selected after matching.

FOXP3 as a prognostic marker and therapeutic target in immunogenic cell death modulation for clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains a challenging cancer type due to its resistance to standard treatments. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has the potential to activate anti-tumor immunity, presenting a promising avenue for ccRCC therapies.

Methods: We analyzed data from GSE29609, TCGA-KIRC, and GSE159115 to identify ICD-related prognostic genes in ccRCC.

Omnidirectionally Stretchable Spin-Valve Sensor Array with Stable Giant Magnetoresistance Performance.

Flexible magnetic sensors, which have advantages such as deformability, vector field sensing, and noncontact detection, are an important branch of flexible electronics and have significant applications in fields such as magnetosensitive electronic skin. Human skin surfaces have complicated deformations, which pose a demand for magnetic sensors that can withstand omnidirectional strain while maintaining stable performance. However, existing flexible magnetic sensor arrays can only withstand stretching along specific directions and are prone to failure under complicated deformations.

The Correlation Between Gender, Age, Curvature, and Symptom-related Changes in C6 and C7 Slope in 10,000 Subjects.

Study Design: A cross-sectional analysis of 10,000 cervical spine X-rays.

Objective: This study investigates the variations in C6S and C7S across demographic factors (gender, age, cervical curvature, symptoms) and explores their correlation. Additionally, machine learning models are applied to improve the accuracy of C7S prediction.

Ag@g-CN/MoS heterostructure for efficient photocatalytic oxygen evolution under visible light irradiation.

Herein, an Ag@g-CN/MoS heterostructure is successfully synthesized for efficient solar-to-water oxidation. UV-vis DRS and steady-state PL analyses reveal the narrow band gap (2.10 eV) and efficient charge separation properties of the Ag nanoparticles and MoS, respectively.
