Recent Development of Functional Bio-Based Epoxy Resins.

The development of epoxy resins is mainly dependent on non-renewable petroleum resources, commonly diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGEBA)-type epoxy monomers. Most raw materials of these thermoset resins are toxic to the health of human beings. To alleviate concerns about the environment and health, the design and synthesis of bio-based epoxy resins using biomass as raw materials have been widely studied in recent decades to replace petroleum-based epoxy resins.

Risk Factors for Gallstones in Crohn's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) have an increased risk of gallstone disease. We aimed to systematically evaluate the prevalence rate and relevant risk factors of gallstones in CD patients.

Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to September 10, 2023, identified studies investigating risk factors for gallstone development among CD patients.

LCP1 correlates with immune infiltration: a prognostic marker for triple-negative breast cancer.

Objective: Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is known for its aggressiveness and treatment challenges due to the absence of ER, PR, and HER2 receptors. Our work emphasizes the prognostic value of LCP1 (Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 1), which plays a crucial role in cell processes and immune cell activity, to predict outcomes and guide treatments in TNBC.

Methods: We explored LCP1 as a potential biomarker in TNBC and investigated the mRNA and protein expression levels of LCP1.

Tuberous sclerosis complex-lymphangioleiomyomatosis involving several visceral organs: A case report.

Background: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare cystic lung disease characterized by the proliferation, metastasis, and infiltration of smooth muscle cells in the lung and other tissues, which can be associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The disorder of TSC has a variable expression, and there is great phenotypic variability.

Case Summary: A 32-year-old Chinese woman with a history of multiple renal angioleiomyolipoma presented with a productive cough persisting for over 2 wk.

Effects of sleep duration and sleep quality in early pregnancy and their interaction on gestational diabetes mellitus.

Purpose: To examine the association of sleep duration and quality in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and explore their interaction effect on GDM.

Methods: Participants from 2 hospitals were enrolled in this case-control study between April 2018 and November 2020. Sleep duration and quality were measured using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

Graph Regularized Meta-path Based Transductive Regression in Heterogeneous Information Network.

A number of real-world networks are heterogeneous information networks, which are composed of different types of nodes and links. Numerical prediction in heterogeneous information networks is a challenging but significant area because network based information for unlabeled objects is usually limited to make precise estimations. In this paper, we consider a graph regularized meta-path based transductive regression model (), which combines the principal philosophies of typical graph-based transductive classification methods and transductive regression models designed for homogeneous networks.
