Estradiol and testosterone associated with risk of breast cancer: A meta-analysis.

Background: This paper aimed to investigate the correlation between estradiol and testosterone in patients with breast cancer.

Methods: The research papers on the correlation between estradiol and testosterone on the risk of breast cancer were searched and collected. The time limit is that each database was established until December 2023.

SGK3 promotes estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer proliferation by activating STAT3/ZMIZ2 pathway to stabilise β-catenin.

Background And Purpose: Breast cancer is a leading threat to women's health, with approximately 70% of cases being estrogen receptor-positive. SGK3 is regulated by estrogen and is positively associated with estrogen receptor expression, although its molecular role remains unclear.

Experimental Approach: Proteomics was used to identify SGK3's downstream targets.

Synthesis and Phase Evolution of a Nanocrystalline FeCrNiAl (x = 1.0, 0.5, 0.25) High-Entropy Alloys by Mechanical Alloying.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with ultrafine grained and high strength can be prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) followed by sintering. Therefore, MA, as a unique solid powder processing method, has many effects on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the sintered bulk HEAs. This work focused on the alloying behavior, morphology, and phase evolution of FeCrNiAl (x = 1.

Morphology of the Calcaneofibular Ligament Reflects Degeneration of the Talonavicular Articular Surface: A Cadaver Study.

Osteoarthritis is caused by damage to the articular cartilage due to bone-on-bone collisions and friction. The length, width, and thickness of the ligaments are expected to change in order to regulate excessive bone-to-bone movement. We aimed to clarify the relationship between ligament morphology and joint surface degeneration in the ankle joints using macroscopic observations and measurements.

Temperature-Robust Broadband Metamaterial Absorber via Semiconductor MOFs/Paraffin Hybridization.

The demand for temperature-robust electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials is escalating due to the varying operational temperatures of electronic devices, which can easily soar up to 100 °C, significantly affecting EMW interference management. Traditional absorbers face performance degradation across broad temperature ranges due to alterations in electronic mobility and material impedance. This study presented a novel approach by integrating semiconductor metal-organic frameworks (SC-MOFs) with paraffin wax (PW), leveraging the precise control of interlayer spacing in SC-MOFs for electron mobility regulation and the introduction of paraffin wax for temperature-inert electromagnetic properties.
