Ferroelectric polymers for energy storage and conversions suffer from high energy losses. Despite great efforts in polymer composites with organic or inorganic fillers, limited successes are achieved with an often compromised dielectric constant (K). Here, a synthesized organic-inorganic hybrid-perfluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (F-POSS) is presented for creating an ultralow-loss ferroelectric polymer composite.

Manual therapy has been extensively utilized in the clinical management of hand spasticity. Clinicians face challenges in accurately evaluating spasticity during manual therapies due to its dynamic changes, resulting in a heavy reliance on therapists' experience for assessing and adjusting the therapy process. Currently, the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and surface electromyography (sEMG) have been widely used to evaluate spasticity.

Facial paralysis, as a common nerve system disease, seriously affects the patients' facial muscle function and appearance. Accurate facial paralysis grading is of great significance for the formulation of personalized treatment. Existing artificial intelligence based grading methods extensively focus on static image classification, which fails to capture the dynamic facial movements.

Glioblastoma is the most common and devastating brain tumor owing to its high invasiveness and high-frequency drug resistance. Near infrared-II (NIR-II) imaging-guided phototherapy based on polymer luminogens provides a promising remedy against drug-resistant glioma, but it is difficult to maximize photoenergy utilization. Herein, we designed a series of semiconducting polymers to boost the visualization and ablation of glioblastoma.

The vaginal microbiome is critical for the reproductive health of women, yet the differential impacts exerted by the host and by ambient environmental variables on the vaginal microbiome remain largely unknown. Here, we conducted a comprehensive cross-sectional study of the relationships between the vaginal microbiome and 81 matched host and environmental variables across 6755 Chinese women. By 16S rRNA sequencing, we identified four core vaginal microbiota with a prevalence of over 90% and a total median abundance of 98.

With the rising demand of saffron, it is essential to standardize the confirmation of its origin and identify any adulteration to maintain a good quality led market product. However, a rapid and reliable strategy for identifying the adulteration saffron is still lacks. Herein, a combination of headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed.

Malnutrition substantially contributes to adverse clinical outcomes. However, no national survey has been conducted to characterize its epidemiology in hospital settings in China. We conducted the China Nutrition Fundamental Data 2020 project among a multistage stratified cluster sample of adult inpatients from 291 study sites across 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities (except for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan Province, and the Xizang Autonomous Region, please see MATERIALS AND METHODS for details of the causes) of China to generate reliable data on the prevalence of malnutrition and explore the associated risk factors.

Article Synopsis
  • RSA is linked to metabolic imbalances at the maternal-fetal interface, especially concerning essential fatty acids and oxylipins, which may contribute to the risk of spontaneous abortion.
  • Research involved analyzing samples from women experiencing spontaneous abortion and those with normal pregnancies, measuring fatty acid levels and enzyme expressions using advanced techniques like GC-MS and LC-MS.
  • Findings showed that women with recurrent spontaneous abortion had higher omega-6 fatty acid levels in their plasma and chorionic villi but lower levels in the decidua, suggesting a possible dysregulation of fatty acid transport affecting pregnancy outcomes.

  • The DSM-5 defines autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication deficits and repetitive behaviors, with different prevalence rates reported globally (2.27% in the U.S. vs. 0.7% in China).
  • ASD-affected children often exhibit challenges in adaptive behaviors, which are essential skills for daily living and adapting to their environments.
  • Various assessments, including the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) and the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS), evaluate adaptive behaviors through multiple dimensions like communication, daily living skills, socialization, and motor skills.

Article Synopsis
  • - A study aimed to assess how different intensities of resistance exercise affect cognitive function in elderly individuals with cognitive decline, utilizing a dual-task training approach combining resistance exercise and cognitive intervention.
  • - Forty-eight participants were divided into four groups (control, low, medium, and high intensity), with the medium-intensity group showing the most significant improvements in cognitive scores and strength.
  • - The findings suggest that the dual-task training product is feasible and well-received, with initial evidence supporting the benefits of moderate-intensity resistance exercise for cognitive health in older adults.

Advanced smart polymer materials with the ability of reversible deformation under external stimuli hold great potential in robotics, soft machines, and flexible electronics. However, the complexity and low efficiency for fabricating actuators along with their limited functionality hinder further progress. Here an efficient and mild catalyst-free thiol-yne click polymerization was developed to fabricate photosensitive polyimide (PI) films.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) utilizes molecular glues or proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) to eliminate disease-causing proteins by promoting their interaction with E3 ubiquitin ligases. Current TPD approaches are limited by reliance on a small number of constitutively active E3 ubiquitin ligases. Here, we report that (S)-ACE-OH, a metabolite of the antipsychotic drug acepromazine, acts as a molecular glue to induce an interaction between the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 and the nucleoporin NUP98, leading to the degradation of nuclear pore proteins and disruption of nucleocytoplasmic trafficking.

Article Synopsis
  • Estrogen receptor α (ERα)-positive breast cancer is commonly treated with ERα inhibitors like SERMs and SERDs, but their specific effects are not fully understood.
  • In this research, scientists used methods such as mass spectrometry to show that the drug fulvestrant enhances the connection between ERα and specific proteins (SUMO E3 ligases), leading to a modification process called SUMOylation.
  • This SUMOylation reduces ERα's ability to bind to DNA in chromatin and is also seen in other drugs like raloxifene and elacestrant, suggesting a new way to disrupt ERα functions for better cancer treatments.

Anti-Stokes luminescence (ASL) based on lanthanide nanocrystals holds immense promise for in vivo optical imaging and bio-detection, which benefits from filtered autofluorescence. However, the current longest emission and excitation wavelengths of lanthanide ASL system were shorter than 1200 nm and 1532 nm, respectively, which limited tissue penetration depth and caused low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of in vivo imaging due to tissue scattering and water absorption. In this work, we extended the excitation wavelength to 1710 nm with the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) emission up to 1650 nm through a novel ASL nanocrystal LiYF : 10 %Tm@LiYF : 70 %Er@LiYF.
