Psychological constraint on unethical behavior in team-based competition.

A growing body of research contributes to our knowledge about unethical behavior. However, very little is known about how group-based competition shape members' unethical behavior. Building on social learning theory, we conducted three studies to reveal how group-based competition may affect individual's unethical behavior for their team.

Survival analysis and nomogram for pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma: an SEER analysis and external validation.

Objective: Uncommon and particularly deadly, pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is an aggressive type of lung cancer. This research aimed to create a risk categorisation and nomogram to forecast the overall survival (OS) of patients with PSC.

Methods: To develop the model, 899 patients with PSC were taken from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from the USA.

Multiomics Integrative Analysis Identifying as a Prognostic Biomarker in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Background: Biomarker research in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is constantly revealing promising findings. An enhancer of polycomb homolog 1 () was found to play a procancer role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but its role in HNSCC with strong heterogeneity is still unclear. Herein, we investigated the prognostic significance and related mechanisms of in HNSCC.

Femtosecond Pulsed Fiber Laser by an Optical Device Based on NaOH-LPE Prepared WSe Saturable Absorber.

We report on all-optical devices prepared from WSe combined with drawn tapered fibers as saturable absorbers to achieve ultrashort pulse output. The saturable absorber with a high damage threshold and high saturable absorption characteristics is prepared for application in erbium-doped fiber lasers by the liquid phase exfoliation method for WSe, and the all-optical device exhibited strong saturable absorption characteristics with a modulation depth of 15% and a saturation intensity of 100.58 W.

miR-134-5p promotes inflammation and apoptosis of trophoblast cells via regulating FOXP2 transcription in gestational diabetes mellitus.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent and risky pregnant complication which warrants targeted therapy for restriction the inflammation and apoptosis of trophoblast cells. This study sought to analyze the aberrant expression and regulatory mechanism of microRNA (miR)-134-5p in GDM. The miR-134-5p expression in the serum of GDM patients and normal participants was detected via qRT-PCR, followed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

Effect of tumor and normal lung volumes on the lung volume-dose parameters of IMRT in non-small-cell lung cancer.

Objectives: To explore the effect of tumor and normal lung volumes on lung volume-dose parameters in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had undergone intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Methods: The clinical data of 208 patients with NSCLC who underwent radical IMRT between June 2014 and June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. A regression model curve was used to evaluate the effect of tumor and normal lung volumes on normal lung relative volumes receiving greater than 5 and 20 Gy (V5, V20), on mean lung dose (MLD), and on absolute volumes spared from greater than 5 and 20 Gy (AVS5, AVS20).

Conductance-stable liquid metal sheath-core microfibers for stretchy smart fabrics and self-powered sensing.

Highly conductive and stretchy fibers are crucial components for smart fabrics and wearable electronics. However, most of the existing fiber conductors are strain sensitive with deteriorated conductance upon stretching, and thus, a compromised strategy via introducing merely geometric distortion of conductive path is often used for stable conductance. Here, we report a coaxial wet-spinning process for continuously fabricating intrinsically stretchable, highly conductive yet conductance-stable, liquid metal sheath-core microfibers.
