Background: Systolic blood pressure (BP) is a key factor in the outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) receiving endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). However, the factors that mediate the association between BP and clinical outcome are unclear.
Methods: Consecutive patients with AIS in the anterior circulation underwent continuous blood pressure monitoring for 24 hours.

The built environment provides an excellent setting for interdisciplinary research on the dynamics of microbial communities. The system is simplified compared to many natural settings, and to some extent the entire environment can be manipulated, from architectural design to materials use, air flow, human traffic, and capacity to disrupt microbial communities through cleaning. Here we provide an overview of the ecology of the microbiome in the built environment.

To investigate the mechanism by which HOXB3OS improves podocyte injury and the effects of engineered ADSCs-Exo with a high abundance of HOXB3OS on DKD progression, MPC5 cells stimulated with HG and db/db mice were used to develop a podocyte injury model and type II DKD mouse model, respectively. HOXB3OS expression and mRNA level of SIRT1 were detected by qRT-PCR.

However, a significant challenge for current data-driven deep learning models in GS is their low robustness and interpretability. To address this challenge, we developed Cropformer, a deep learning framework for predicting crop phenotypes and exploring downstream tasks.

The scarcity of early environmental monitoring and supervision technologies, particularly the lack of effective real-time monitoring mechanisms and feedback systems, has hindered the timely quantitative identification of potential early-stage environmental risks. This study aims to comprehensively review the literature and analyze the research context and shortcomings of the advance warning technologies of power transmission and distribution projects construction period using the integrated space-sky-ground system approach.

The results demonstrated that the curing characteristics and rheological behavior of HNBR composites are closely linked to acrylonitrile content, carbon black, and plasticizer levels. Plasticizers significantly reduced the degree of crosslinking and the Payne effect, while fillers had the opposite impact.

Background: Minimally invasive surgeries are increasingly central to modern medicine, particularly in liver transplantation. These techniques, which offer reduced trauma, precise operations, minimal bleeding, and swift recovery, are, however, unevenly adopted across China. Only a limited number of centers routinely perform minimally invasive donor hepatectomies, indicating a significant imbalance in the development and application of these advanced procedures.

Solids retention time (SRT) is a fundamental parameter of activated sludge process, but its roles in the AOA process remain vague. Here, we established a pilot-scale AOA process at different SRTs (10, 20, 30 d) to investigate the comprehensive responses and potential mechanisms.

In this study, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger-CF@PDA was developed to effectively target antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways to disrupt the oxidative stress-inflammation cycle in IR-AKI. : UV-vis absorption spectra, FTIR spectra, and TEM were employed to determine the successful construction of CF@P.

Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO) has garnered growing attention due to its significant contribution to mitigating CH emissions in wetland environments. Nonetheless, the specific role and microbial mechanisms of DAMO in controlling CH release within riparian zones are still not well comprehended.

This state can negatively affect productivity and mental well-being, yet there is no comprehensive tool to measure knowledge anxiety across different research domains.
Methods: We employed a mixed-methods approach to develop a multidimensional scale for assessing knowledge anxiety.
Background: Previous research has demonstrated a correlation between uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet the evidence remains unclear in individuals with abnormal glucose metabolism. The objective of this research was to investigate the correlation between UHR and the occurrence of CKD, as well as the rapid kidney function decline among individuals aged over 45 years with abnormal glucose metabolism, using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).
Methods: This study employed K-means clustering to categorize individuals based on UHR control levels into four classes.
Background: , a genus established in 1818, has been the subject of various taxonomic studies, with revisions leading to the recognition of several genera within the Metzgeriaceae family. Recent research indicates that constitutes over 98% of the family's species, with broad global distribution.

Ensuring the high performance and the tunability of the system is essential to encode diverse functions. However, common strategies, including the integration of external electrode arrays or photonic structures with 2D materials, and barely patterned 2D materials, exhibit a contradiction between performance and tunability.

Background: One of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus is diabetic erectile dysfunction (DMED), a condition that has grown more common in recent years and has a significant impact on patients' daily lives. The complicated pathophysiological changes of DMED, involving vascular, neurological, muscular, and endocrine variables, have not been well addressed by any one treatment technique, and no widely approved treatment strategy has been developed.
Aim: The objective of this study was to thoroughly examine the complex nature of the pathogenic mechanism of DMED and discover new therapeutic approaches that could improve DMED symptoms.
Background: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with high morbidity and mortality. Although glucocorticoids are the standard treatment, only half of patients achieve complete remission. Thus, there is an urgent need to screen biomarkers for the diagnosis of aGVHD to assist in the identification of individuals at risk of aGVHD.
