High-Performance Tin Oxide Thin-Film Transistors Realized by Codoping and Their Application in Logic Circuits.

Tin oxide is a promising channel material, offering the advantages of being low-cost and environmentally friendly and having a wide band gap. However, despite the high electron mobility of SnO in bulk, the corresponding thin-film transistors (TFTs) generally exhibit moderate performance, hindering their widespread application. Herein, we proposed a codoping strategy to improve both the electrical property and the stability of SnO TFTs.

Colloid Pattern of Salivary Mucinous Adenocarcinomas With Recurrent BRAF V600E Mutations.

The relationship between various patterns of mucin-producing salivary adenocarcinomas, including invasive salivary adenocarcinomas with mucinous differentiation, such as colloid and papillary carcinomas, remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to describe the clinicopathologic characteristics, immunophenotypes, molecular underpinnings, and clinical behavior of salivary mucinous adenocarcinomas (MA) to clarify their classification. We described a broad series of colloid and papillary patterns of MAs, indicating that papillary pattern presented papillary cystic proliferation of mucinous columnar cells as salivary intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms with recurrent AKT1 E17K mutations, whereas colloid adenocarcinomas containing large mucinous pools or lakes around the malignant epithelial nests or islands harbored BRAF V600E mutations with worse prognosis.

[Determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in marine sediments by composite chromatography column purification-gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry].

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as additive flame retardants. Because they lack the ability to form chemical bonds, PBDEs can easily enter the sediment environment. The accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis of PBDEs in sediments is of great importance for the accurate assessment of PBDE pollution in this environment.

Untargeted lipidomic analysis and network pharmacology for parthenolide treated papillary thyroid carcinoma cells.

Background: With fast rising incidence, papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common head and neck cancer. Parthenolide, isolated from traditional Chinese medicine, inhibits various cancer cells, including PTC cells. The aim was to investigate the lipid profile and lipid changes of PTC cells when treated with parthenolide.

Bibliometric analysis of immunotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Background/purpose: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a serious disease endangering the health of patients, and the application of immunotherapy in HNSCC is gradually emerging. However, there is no bibliometric analysis in this research field. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge structure and research hotspots of immunotherapy for HNSCC.

Notch activation promotes bone metastasis via SPARC inhibition in adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Effects of Dietary Protein Level on the Microbial Composition and Metabolomic Profile in Postweaning Piglets.

Since the human and porcine digestive systems have similar anatomical structures and physiological functions, pigs are a useful animal model for studying human digestive diseases. By investigating intestinal metabolites in piglets after weaning, this study attempted to identify the inherent connection between dietary protein levels and changes in the intestinal microbiota of piglets. Casein was employed as the only source of protein for the piglets in this study to avoid the influence of other protein sources.
