Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and clinical significance of coexistence of anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (anti-ARS) antibody in patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5-positive dermatomyositis (anti-MDA5 + DM).
Methods: We assessed a cohort of 246 consecutive patients with anti-MDA5 + DM. Clinical characteristics and survival rates were compared between patients with and without anti-ARS antibodies.
Wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) has been validated to be a crucial regulator in the tumorigenesis and advancement of diverse malignancies. This study intended to probe the impacts of WTAP on colorectal cancer (CRC) progression from the perspective of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. The differential expression patterns of WTAP in clinical CRC samples and cultured cell lines were validated via qRT-PCR and western blot.

This study investigated how the NGOs in Shanghai perceived the challenges and opportunities for participating in the provision of government-purchased CBPR services.
Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach was employed in this study.
SiO-based anodes, considered the most promising candidate for high-energy density batteries, have long been bothered by mechanical integrity issues. Research efforts focus on particle modifications, often overlooking the enhancement of interparticle connections, which can reduce the active material content within the electrode. Herein, an integrated electrode with strong covalent bonding at the electrode scale is designed, achieving excellent mechanical stability with ∼95 wt.
