This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) who received curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Clinicopathological data from 213 (training set) and 106 (validation set) LACC cases undergoing CCRT were retrospectively analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to compare the predictive ability of NPS and other indicators for survival.

Objective: This investigation aimed to develop and validate a novel oxidative stress score for prognostic prediction in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients receiving chemoradiotherapy.

Methods: A total of 301 LACC patients were enrolled and randomly divided into a training and a validation set. The association between oxidative stress parameters and prognosis was analyzed for oxidative stress score (OSS) establishment.

Isolation for antibacterial compounds from natural plants is a promising approach to develop new pesticides. In this study, two compounds were obtained from the Chinese endemic plant using bioassay-guided fractionation. Based on analyses of H-NMR, C-NMR, and mass spectral data, the isolated compounds were identified as 4-allylbenzene-1,2-diol and (S)-4-allyl-5-(1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)allyl)benzene-1,2-diol.

Increasing evidence suggests that diverse activation patterns of metabolic signalling pathways may lead to molecular diversity of cervical cancer (CC). But rare research focuses on the alternation of fatty acid metabolism (FAM) in CC. Therefore, we constructed and compared models based on the expression of FAM-related genes from the Cancer Genome Atlas by different machine learning algorithms.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) show expressively enhanced activity toward diverse reactions due to maximized atomic utilization of metal sites, while their facile, universal, and massive preparation remains a pronounced challenge. Here we report a facile strategy for the preparation of SACs by use of the inherent confined space between the template and silica walls in template-occupied mesoporous silica SBA-15 (TOS). Different transition metal precursors can be introduced into the confined space readily by grinding, and during succeeding calcination single atoms are constructed in the form of M-O-Si (M = Cu, Co, Ni, and Zn).

Article Synopsis
  • Solid superbases provide effective catalysis under mild conditions, but face issues with aggregation and stability during recycling.
  • A new type of solid superbase, created from potassium single atoms (SAs) using a two-step redox process, has been developed to overcome these challenges.
  • The K/G hybrid demonstrates superior catalytic performance and stability in transesterification reactions, attributed to its unique superbasicity and the high dispersion of basic sites.

To date, some attempts have been made to synthesize hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks (HPMOFs), and in most cases, mesopores are formed in microporous frameworks. However, mass transfer and diffusion are still limited in such HPMOFs since micropores connect mesopores and mesopores are noncontinuous. Here, we fabricate a new hierarchical structure through the formation of microporous MOFs within continuous mesoporous channels.
