Analysis of Degradation of Electromigration Reliability of Au-Al and OPM Wire Bonded Contacts at 250 °C Using Resistance Monitoring Method.

The ongoing trend towards miniaturization and increased packaging density has exacerbated the reliability problem of Au-Al heterogeneous metal bonding structures in high-temperature environments, where extreme temperatures and high current pose a serious challenge. In order to address this issue, the present study aims to investigate the electromigration reliability of Au-Al bonding by comparing the conventional heterogeneous contacts with OPM structures, which are homogeneous contacts. A novel bonding layout was developed to precisely detect the resistance and obtain stage changes in electromigration.

Establishment of matrix metalloproteinase 3 time-resolved immunoassay and some potential clinical applications.

Aim: To develop a highly sensitive time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) for the detection of serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and to assess MMP-3's clinical value in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).st.

Methods: MMP-3 levels were established using the double antibody sandwich technique.

The impact of public health events on green economy efficiency in the context of environmental regulation.

Public health crises have become one of the greatest threats to sustainable global economic development. It is therefore important to explore the impact of public health events on green economic efficiency. However, few studies have specifically examined the relationship between public health security and green economic efficiency.

Knockdown of LINC00467 contributed to Axitinib sensitivity in hepatocellular carcinoma through miR-509-3p/PDGFRA axis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common histological class of primary liver cancer with dismal prognosis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly documented as participators in cancers. Present study aimed to explore the role of long intergenic nonprotein-coding RNA 467 (LINC00467) in HCC.

Diagnostic values of thyroglobulin in lymph node fine-needle aspiration washout: a systematic review and meta-analysis diagnostic values of FNA-Tg.

Thyroglobulin measurement in the needle washout after fine-needle aspiration (FNA-Tg) served as an important measurement for suspicious recurrent or metastatic lesions. We conducted a pooled analysis to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of FNA-Tg and searched electronic databases for original articles in English from 1993 through 2017. Finally, a total of 22 studies containing 2,670 lymph nodes (LNs) that enrolled participants with suspicious neck LNs during thyroid nodule workup or papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) follow-up were included.

Clinicopathological Characteristics and Prognosis of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in Naturally Menopausal Women with Various Durations of Premenarche, Reproductive Periods, and Postmenopausal Stages.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) exhibits a higher incidence in women. Due to various ages at menarche and menopause, estrogen levels vary, which may account for the differences in the occurrence, development, and prognosis of female patients with PTC. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between various durations in different estrogen levels and PTC and to provide important information to guide clinical management and treatment of this disease.
