Background: The rise in endometrial cancer rates globally calls for advanced diagnostic methods and new biomarkers. CPA4, known for its role in cancer development, has not yet been studied in relation to endometrial cancer, making it a promising research avenue.
Methods: We analyzed CPA4's mRNA expression using data from TCGA and GEO databases and validated these findings with 116 clinical samples through immunohistochemical analysis.

Schizophrenia patients with auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) frequently exhibit brain structural alterations, particularly reductions in gray matter volume (GMV).Understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the changes is essential for advancing treatment strategies. To address this, a meta-analysis was conducted to identify GMV changes in schizophrenia patients with AVH and their associations with gene expression and neurotransmitter receptor profiles.

Copper (II) is considered the third most essential trace element for life, following iron and zinc, and plays a vital role in various physiological and pathological processes. The fluorescent probe has become an important method for the detection of heavy metal ions. This investigation involved the development and synthesis of a near-infrared "turn-on" fluorescent probe, DCX-Cu, with a significant Stokes shift (156 nm), specifically to identify Cu compared other ions.

However, the development of new structural adjustment strategies to further improve their performance remains a huge challenge. Herein, the "interface recombination" post-processing approach was established to regulate the structure of PBAs using a microwave-assisted solvothermal method combined with acid etching.

Preoperative imaging (CT/MRI) is vital for assessment but often yields false results. This study examines the concordance between preoperative imaging and postoperative pathology and identifies factors influencing imaging accuracy.
