[Casticin inhibits proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer cells by regulating glucose metabolism through suppression of HIF-1α].

The study investigated the effect of casticin on the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) H322 cells and explored its molecular mechanism. Firstly, the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, and EdU assay were used to detect the effect of casticin on the proliferation capacity of H322 cells under different concentrations and treatment durations. Then, glucose uptake, lactate production, extracellular pH, and oxygen consumption of H322 cells were measured before and after casticin treatment to analyze its impact on glycolysis in NSCLC H322 cells.

Cytological studies reveal high variation in ascospore number and shape and conidia produced directly from ascospores in .

Spores are important as dispersal and survival propagules in fungi. In this study we investigated the variation in number, shape, size and germination mode of ascospores in , the only species of the genus known to fruit in the autumn. Based on the observation of five samples, we first discovered significant variation in the shape and size of ascospores in .

A multicenter cross-sectional survey of the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of geriatric nurses regarding dysphagia care.

Background: Dysphagia is common in the elderly population, and it can lead to complications such as aspiration, undernutrition, and psychological and social interaction disorders in the elderly and have a great impact on quality of life. This study aimed to understand the current knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of geriatric nurses regarding dysphagia care for elderly adults and to analyze the relevant influencing factors to improve care plans for elderly patients with dysphagia.

Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional survey of 782 geriatric nurses from 17 hospitals in Sichuan Province was conducted using a questionnaire to determine their KAP regarding dysphagia care.

Sharp recanalization for long-segment superior vena cava occlusion in a hemodialysis patient with vascular resource exhaustion: a case report.

Hemodialysis is the lifeline of end-stage renal patients, and the correct choice of vascular access is vital to patients with vascular resource exhaustion. A 57-year-old female was admitted to the hospital due to catheter dysfunction. Color-doppler ultrasound (CDU) showed that the patient's inferior vena cava (IVC), right brachiocephalic vein, and long segment of the superior vena cava (SVC) were occluded.

Endowing TADF luminophors with AIE properties through adjusting flexible dendrons for highly efficient solution-processed nondoped OLEDs.

The amalgamation of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, termed AIE-TADF, is a promising strategy to design novel robust luminescent materials. Herein, we transform 2,3,4,5,6-penta(9-carbazol-9-yl)benzonitrile (5CzBN) from an ACQ molecule into an AIEgen by simply decorating the 5CzBN core with alkyl chain-linked spirobifluorene dendrons. By increasing the number of flexible dendrons, these materials can not only show obvious AIE-TADF characteristics and uniform film morphology, but can also exhibit better resistance to isopropyl alcohol, which are beneficial to fully solution-processed OLEDs.

[Pulmonary sarcoidlike granulomatosis induced by aluminum dust: a case report and literature review].

Objective: To highlight the etiological diagnosis of pulmonary granulomatosis.

Methods: The clinical, radiological and pathological data of a patient with sarcoidlike lung granulomatosis confirmed by open lung biopsy were presented, and relevant literatures were reviewed.

Results: A 50-year-old female worker presented with intermittent cough and dyspnea for 3 years, after exposure to aluminum dust for 15 years.

[A high-resolution CT and pathological study of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia].

Objective: To describe the characteristics of high-resolution CT(HRCT) findings of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and the correlation with pathological changes.

Methods: The HRCT features of 9 cases (3 men and 6 women) of histopathologically confirmed NSIP were retrospectively analyzed and correlated with the pathological findings.

Results: The predominant HRCT features, found in all the cases, were bilaterally patchy areas of ground-glass opacity with or without areas of consolidation.

[Giant cell interstitial pneumonia: a case report and literature review].

Objective: To highlight the characteristics of giant cell interstitial pneumonia (GIP).

Methods: The clinical, radiological and pathological data of a patient with GIP confirmed by open lung biopsy were presented, and relevant literatures were reviewed.

Results: Patients with GIP usually had a history of exposure to metal dust.
