Enhancing medical English proficiency: the current status and development potential of peer-assisted learning in medical education.

This narrative review investigates the current implementation and future potential of Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) in medical education, specifically emphasizing its role in enhancing medical English proficiency. The article analyzes the effectiveness of PAL across various medical education contexts, including primary medical courses, doctor-patient communication, and standardized residency training. The findings indicate that PAL positively impacts student learning outcomes and promotes professional development, highlighting the necessity of its application in medical English instruction.

Surface engineering activation of mixed valence copper selenide: A high-performance anode for long life zinc-ion rock-chair batteries.

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are an attractive alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for large-scale energy storage, which offer high ionic conductivity and environmental advantages. However, challenges such as dendrite growth and limited coulombic efficiency (CE) limit electrochemical performance of AZIBs thus hindering their practical application. This study designs a polypyrrole (PPy)-coated copper selenide composite (CuSe@PPy) that works via Zn insertion/extraction mechanism.

Advancing Anode Performance in Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries: A Review of Metal-Organic Framework-Based Strategies.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are garnering substantial research interest in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable electronics, primarily for the reason that the inexpensive cost, high theoretical specific capacity, and environmental sustainability of zinc metal anodes, which are an essential component to their design. Nonetheless, the progress of AZIBs is hindered by significant obstacles, such as the occurrence of anodic side reactions (SR) and the formation of zinc dendrites. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based materials are being explored as promising alternatives owing to homogeneous porous structure and large specific surface areas.

Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial and chloroplast genome of Cyperus stoloniferus (Cyperaceae), a coastal plant possessing saline-alkali tolerance.

Background: Cyperus stoloniferus is an important species in coastal ecosystems and possesses economic and ecological value. To elucidate the structural characteristics, variation, and evolution of the organelle genome of C. stoloniferus, we sequenced, assembled, and compared its mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes.

Knockdown of NCAPG promotes the apoptosis and inhibits the invasion and migration of triple‑negative breast cancer MDA‑MB‑231 cells via regulation of EGFR/JAK/STAT3 signaling.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer and the treatment options are extremely limited. Non-SMC condensing I complex subunit G (NCAPG) expression is upregulated in TNBC, but its specific regulatory mechanism in TNBC has not been previously reported. The expression levels of NCAPG in TNBC were analyzed using data obtained from the UALCAN database.
