Crystalline porous materials, known for their ordered structures, hold promise for efficient hydroxide conductivity in alkaline fuel cells with limited ionic densities. However, the rigid cross-linking of porous materials precludes their processing into membranes, while composite membranes diminish materials' conductivity advantage due to the interrupted phases. Here, we report a self-standing three-dimensional covalent organic framework (3D COF) membrane with efficient OH-transport through its interconnected 3D ionic nanochannels.

Background: Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) is characterized by higher lymphocytic infiltration, which predicts sensitivity to immunotherapy. However, there are few studies investigating the mechanisms of acquired resistance to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade and its subsequent treatment strategies for EBVaGC.

Case Description: We describe the case of a patient with EBVaGC who was initially treated with first-line chemotherapy plus Sintilimab, a fully humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, resulting in a near-complete response.

Purpose: Evidence concerning the effect of cardiovascular health (CVH) on the risk of metabolic dysfunctional-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the association between CVH and MASLD.

Methods: 5680 adults aged ≥ 20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-March 2020 were included.

Background: The health benefits of physical activity, including walking, are well-established, but the relationship between daily step count and mortality in hypertensive populations remains underexplored. This study investigates the association between daily step count and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive American adults.

Methods: We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2006, including 1,629 hypertensive participants with accelerometer-measured step counts.

In the present study, we developed a nanozyme-based direct competitive immunoassay to detect walnut allergen (Jug r 4) in foods. Walnut monoclonal antibody (mAb) and CuSe@BiMoO nanocomposites were generated to form a signal probe by electrostatic adsorption. The nanocomposites had high peroxidase-like activity and could be stored at room temperature.
