TOMM40 Correlates with Cholesterol and is Predictive of a Favorable Prognosis in Endometrial Carcinoma.

Background: A link between cholesterol and endometrial cancer has been established, but current studies have been limited in their findings. We aimed to elucidate the causal relationship between cholesterol and endometrial cancer and to find prognostic genes for endometrial cancer.

Methods: We first explored the causal relationship between total cholesterol and endometrial cancer using two-sample Mendelian randomization and then obtained differential genes to screen for prognosis-related genes in endometrial cancer.

Recyclable low-temperature phase change microcapsules for cold storage.

Recyclable low-temperature phase change microcapsules (LTPCMs) have the potential applications in the short-distance cold chain transportation due to their reliable reusability in cold storage. Herein, LTPCMs are synthesized via in-situ suspension copolymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate in absence of harm substances, providing the non-crosslinking copolymer shells. n-Dodecane, n-tridecane and n-tetradecane, inducing the microphase separation of non-crosslinking copolymers, are successfully encapsulated to achieve n-do-LTPCMs, n-tri-LTPCMs and n-tetra-LTPCMs, which respectively bear the high phase change enthalpy of 110.

L(p) approximation capabilities of sum-of-product and sigma-pi-sigma neural networks.

This paper studies the L(p) approximation capabilities of sum-of-product (SOPNN) and sigma-pi-sigma (SPSNN) neural networks. It is proved that the set of functions that are generated by the SOPNN with its activation function in $L_{loc};p(\mathcal{R})$ is dense in $L;p(\mathcal{K})$ for any compact set $\mathcal{K}\subset \mathcal{R};N$, if and only if the activation function is not a polynomial almost everywhere. It is also shown that if the activation function of the SPSNN is in ${L_{loc};\infty(\mathcal{R})}$, then the functions generated by the SPSNN are dense in $L;p(\mathcal{K})$ if and only if the activation function is not a constant (a.
