The global, regional, and national disease burden and risk factors of male breast cancer from 1990 to 2021: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study.

Male breast cancer (MBC) contributes to approximately 1% of total breast cancer diagnoses, with rapidly rising incidence and mortality rates worldwide. Since most breast cancer research has focused on women, this study intended to report the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of MBC to aid in its control and prevention. The data on the incidence, DALYs, deaths, and age-standardized rates of MBC between 1990 and 2021 in different countries and territories were sourced from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.

VvATG18a participates in grape resistance to gray mold induced by BR signaling pathway.

Autophagy plays an important role in responding to necrotrophic pathogens and plant signal hormones. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of natural steroidal phytohormones that effectively regulated the disease resistance responses in grape. However, the molecular mechanism of BR-autophagy networks responsible for activation of host defense against gray mold remained to be elucidated.

Development and validation of the Out-of-Hospital Adherence Questionnaire for Stroke Patients (OHAQ-SP).

Background: The extent of rehabilitation of stroke patients outside the hospital is contingent upon their dedication to rehabilitative exercises, adherence to a suitable diet, and medication protocols. Therefore, multiple aspects of compliance must be assessed. Questionnaires are indirect measurements that are economical and easy to use.

Silica-based hierarchical porous Janus microcapsules: construction and support of Au nano-particle catalyst inside.

A facile and novel method was developed to fabricate silica-based hierarchical porous Janus microcapsules (HPJMs SiO) for catalysis. The resulting Au@HPJMs SiO nanocomposites showed enhanced catalysis, great stability, convenient recovery and reuse without losing catalytic efficiency.

Construction of Grape-like Silica-Based Hierarchical Porous Interlocked Microcapsules by Colloidal Crystals Templates.

We present a facile strategy to prepare grape-like silica-based hierarchical porous interlocked microcapsules (HPIMs) by polystyrene colloidal crystals templates, whose structure is the subtle integration of open mouthed structure, hierarchical porous nanostructure and interlocked architecture. HPIMs are fabricated by replicating colloidal crystals templates that have a hexagonal close-packed structure; thus, theoretically, each microcapsule has 12 open mouths, and these open mouths with mesoporous microcapsule wall construct the hierarchical porous structure. Furthermore, the interlocked architecture of the microcapsules can endow HPIMs with excellent mechanical stability and recyclability.

Robust hybrid raspberry-like hollow particles with complex structures: a facile method of swelling polymerization towards composite spheres.

A novel robust hybrid raspberry-like TiO2/PS hollow particles with complex double-shelled structures have been fabricated in large quantities by a facile swelling polymerization approach based on commercially available hollow polystyrene (PS) spheres. The crosslinked-PS protrusions are wedged firmly into the TiO2 shell, making the resultant particles both chemically and mechanically robust. By simply tuning the monomer concentration, the hierarchical morphology (the size and number of protrusion) of the surfaces can be well-controlled.
