Frank-Kasper Phases of Diblock Copolymer Melts: Self-Consistent Field Results of Two Commonly Used Models.

We constructed phase diagrams of conformationally asymmetric diblock copolymer A-B melts using the polymer self-consistent field (SCF) calculations of both the dissipative particle dynamics chain (DPDC) model (i.e., compressible melts of discrete Gaussian chains with the DPD non-bonded potential) and the "standard" model (i.

CDKN2A was a cuproptosis-related gene in regulating chemotherapy resistance by the MAGE-A family in breast cancer: based on artificial intelligence (AI)-constructed pan-cancer risk model.

Background: Before the discovery of cuproptosis, copper-loaded nanoparticle is a wildly applied strategy for enhancing the tumor-cell-killing effect of chemotherapy. Although copper(ii)-related researches are wide, details of cuproptosis-related bioprocess in pan-cancer are not clear yet now, especially for prognosis and drug sensitivity prediction yet now.

Methods: In this study, VOSviewer is used for the literature review, and R4.

Gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy modified areola approach with a simple flap-lifting technique.

Objective: Studies have shown that carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation during endoscopic thyroidectomy is associated with many risks. Recently, we have designed a simple lifting tool using Kirschner wire. We aimed to use this tool for flap-lifting in modified areola approach endoscopic thyroidectomy and compare it with conventional CO2 insufflation.

Low abundance of TFPI-2 by both promoter methylation and miR-27a-3p regulation is linked with poor clinical outcome in gastric cancer.

Background: The tumor suppressor role of tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI-2) has been reported in various tumors. The present study aimed to improve the understanding of the oncogenic properties of TFPI-2 in gastric cancer.

Methods: Relative expression of TFPI-2 was determined by a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blotting, respectively.
