Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the link between chronic pain and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) mortality in cancer patients, utilizing data from the SEER database spanning 1975 to 2019.
  • A significant finding was that cancer pain rated as Pain rating II may actually lower the risk of CVD-related death, whereas factors such as older age, male gender, and lack of systemic treatment increased that risk.
  • The research developed a predictive model for CVD risk in these patients, emphasizing the potential role of pain as a protective factor and highlighting the importance of key variables like survival time, age, and pain rating.

Article Synopsis
  • - The PROpel study indicates that combining abiraterone and olaparib shows benefits in radiological progression-free survival for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), but it's questioned as a first-line treatment for those without genetic testing or BRCA mutations.
  • - A retrospective study suggests that low-dose abiraterone plus olaparib may still help some mCRPC patients without BRCA mutations by improving prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and symptoms, with a median PSA progression-free survival of 8 months.
  • - While 72% of patients experienced adverse events, including anemia and fatigue, the combination therapy demonstrated a potential for manageable side effects and efficacy in selected cases lacking BRCA mutations

Sustainable processes for semi-hydrogenation of alkynes/alkadienes impurities in alkenes feedstocks are in great demand in industry as the utilization of excessive hydrogen, high temperature and unsatisfactory alkenes selectivity of the current thermo-catalytic route, however, their development is still challenging. Herein, we innovate a light-assisted semi-hydrogenation process in gas-feed fixed bed reactor, with water as hydrogen atom source by in situ photocatalysis. Using Pd/TiO as model catalyst, this process shows an excellent catalytic performance for the semi-hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene, with 100 % of butenes selectivity at ≈99 % of conversion over 180 h of reaction at ambient temperature driven by 66 mW cm of irradiation intensity.

P-doped graphitic carbon nitride tubes (P-CNTS) with different P concentrations were successfully fabricated via a pre-hydrothermal in combination with a calcination process under a nitrogen atmosphere. The as-prepared samples exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance with a hydrogen production rate (HPR) of 2749.3 μmol g h, which was 17.

Objective: To investigate the main point of long backbone fracture caused by blunt force in forensic clinical identification and to provide a reference for the inspection and appraisal practices of such injury.

Methods: Ninety-nine cases of adult long backbone fractures were collected from January 2006 to December 2013 in Gutian County of Fujian Province. According to the terms of fracture location, mode of injury, type, the data were summarized.
