Inspired by the Chameleon's skin with tunable color and superior flexibility, this work designs the evaporated-induced self-assembly technique to synthesize the chiral photonic crystal film. Ultrasonic-intensified and additive-assisted techniques synergistically optimize the film properties, on the aspects of optic and mechanic.

Herein, the recent progress of CNC-based chirality nanomaterials is uncovered, mainly covering structure regulations and function design. Undergoing a simple evaporation process, the cellulose nanorods can spontaneously assemble into chiral nematic films, accompanied by a vivid structural color.

Background: Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is a primary prevalent type of cancer in people worldwide. Cisplatin (DDP) has been widely used to treat NSCLC; however, its curative effect was restrained under hypoxia. In this study, the effects of hypoxia treatment on DDP resistance and NSCLC progression and underneath mechanism were revealed.

The WinEPIC model was used to simulate the dynamics of soil moisture and water productivity in the deep layer of the dry farm apple orchard of Changwu in the Loess Plateau from 1980 to 2018, aiming to provide a scientific basis for the sustainable development of apple production in the area. The results showed that the average annual yield of apple orchards in Changwu area was 27.37 t·hm, the average annual evapotranspiration was 673.

As a tumor suppressor, decreased expression of SOX7 has been observed in several cancer types, including non‑small‑cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the mechanism underlying SOX7 downregulation and its role in chemoresistance in NSCLC remains poorly understood.

meta/ortho-Selective C-H (di)alkylation reactions of azoarenes have been achieved via [Ru(p-cymene)Cl] catalyzed ortho-metalation using various types of alkyl bromides. Particularly, dual meta-alkylation of azoarene and reduction offer an attractive strategy for the synthesis of meta-alkylanilines, which are difficult to access via traditional aniline functionalization methods.

Purpose: Little is known about the level of work-related stress in nurses in China.This study compared the level of work-related stress between female nurses working in psychiatric and general hospitals in China.
Design And Methods: A descriptive comparative cross-sectional design was used.
This study examined the frequency of violence on nurses in Chinese psychiatric hospitals and explored its risk factors and impact on nurses' quality of life (QOL). A survey was conducted with 387 frontline psychiatric nurses in China. Information about experience of workplace violence in the past 6 months, type of workplace violence, and demographic characteristics was collected by a questionnaire.
