High-Density Polyethylene Janus Fibrous Membrane with Enhanced Breathability and Moisture Permeability via PDA Assisted Hydrophilic Modification.

Functional fibrous membranes with high mechanical properties are intensively developed for different application fields. In this study, to enhance moisture and air permeability without compromising mechanical strength, a facile float-surface modification strategy is employed to fabricate Janus fibrous membranes with distinct hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity using the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fibrous membranes. By coating one side of the HDPE fibrous membranes with polydopamine (PDA) and a superhydrophilic polyelectrolyte, the obtained Janus HDPE fibrous membranes demonstrate an excellent water transmission rate (577.

Concurrent preoperative eribulin and radiation for resectable retroperitoneal liposarcoma: a phase 1B study.

Background Management of retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLPS) is challenging and recurrence rates remain high despite aggressive surgical resections. Preoperative radiation alone lacks definitive benefit, thus we sought to evaluate combined chemoradiotherapy with the potential to enhance local efficacy of radiation as well as control micrometastatic disease. We assessed the safety and tolerability of preoperative eribulin, a cytotoxic microtubule inhibitor approved for the treatment of advanced liposarcoma, in combination with radiation in patients with RPLPS.

METTL7A improves bovine IVF embryo competence by attenuating oxidative stress.

Unlabelled: In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a widely used assisted reproductive technology to achieve a successful pregnancy. However, the acquisition of oxidative stress in embryo in vitro culture impairs its competence. Here, we demonstrated that a nuclear coding gene, methyltransferase- like protein 7A (METTL7A), improves the developmental potential of bovine embryos.

Efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors for EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer: a network meta-analysis.

Introduction: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes approximately 80-85% of cancer-related fatalities globally, and direct and indirect comparisons of various therapies for NSCLC are lacking. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated NSCLC.

Methods: The electronic databases were systematically searched from inception until March 18, 2024.

Bithiophene dicarboxylate as an efficient organic anode material for sodium-ion batteries.

In this study, new carboxylates are synthesized for sodium-ion batteries. The bithiophene-based anode material BT demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 201 mA h g and excellent durability. BT retains 99.
