Recurrence and metastasis stand as the primary contributors to mortality among patients with triple-negative breast cancer post-surgery, presenting a formidable clinical obstacle. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), leveraging metal-ion-mediated Fenton-like reactions within the tumor microenvironment (TME), emerges as a promising avenue for addressing cancer metastasis. Despite recent progress, challenges such as tumor cell antioxidant defenses and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) impede the efficacy of CDT.

This paper investigates the complex causal relationships between various types of environmental regulatory instruments (ERI) and agri-firms' technological innovation employing fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The study finds a well-designed set of ERI can promote technological innovation in agribusiness; control-command ERI cannot promote technological innovation in agribusiness solely, market-incentivized ERI is indispensable in promoting firms' innovation performance, implicit ERI plays an important role in promoting firms' innovation and voluntary ERI does not play a significant role in promoting firms' technological innovation. The government should coordinate among various types of ERI and improve the design of ERI to achieve a win-win situation for both economic and environmental performance in the agriculture sector.

Introduction: The mortality rate of hospitalized patients with severe hospital-acquired pneumonia (SHAP) remains high. Empirical broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage and the misuse of high-grade antibiotics could lead to the emergence of multi-drug and even pandrug-resistant bacteria. In addition to metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), microbiological rapid on-site evaluation (M-ROSE) might be a useful technique to identify the pathogens in the early stage; however, the effect of M-ROSE guiding anti-infection treatment on prognostic outcomes of SHAP patients is still unclear.
