The Effects of Anlotinib Combined with Chemotherapy following Progression on Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitor in Hormone Receptor-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer.

Purpose: Endocrine therapy combined with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) is the preferred treatment for hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, there are currently no recommendations for therapeutic strategies after progression on CDK4/6i-based treatment. This study aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of anlotinib plus chemotherapy in HR+/HER2- MBC after progression on CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Permeability and Porosity of Artificial-Similar Material for Biomimetic Geotechnical Engineering via Direct Ink Writing for Sustainability.

Direct ink writing of multiple mineral materials (M) coupled with simulation analysis is an optimization solution in accordance with low-carbon and sustainable manufacturing. It improves the ability to imitate natural biological iterative optimization, and accurately obtained data for geological model tests to effectively help prevent natural disasters. This article investigates the effects of equivalent materials on the direct ink writing and permeability behaviors through geological simulation models.

Exploring micro(nano)plastics toxicity from an environmental management perspective: Zebrafish as a vital bridge for assessing potential human health risks.

The pollution stemming from the unwarranted utilization and inadequate disposal of plastic products is undergoing rapid escalation. The problem of micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) pollution has recently garnered significant attention, and the issue of human exposure to MNPs cannot be disregarded. However, the present state of research concerning human exposure to MNPs remains in its early stages.

Innovative public strategies in response to COVID-19: A review of practices from China.

The COVID-19 pandemic presented unparalleled challenges to prompt and adaptive responses from nations worldwide. This review examines China's multifaceted approach to the crisis, focusing on five key areas of response: infrastructure and system design, medical care and treatment, disease prevention and control, economic and social resilience, and China's engagement in global health. This review demonstrates the effectiveness of a top-down command system at the national level, intersectoral coordination, a legal framework, and public social governance.

Application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to exhaled breath analysis for detecting helicobacter pylori infection.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most globally prevalent bacteria, closely associated with gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric ulcers and chronic gastritis. Current clinical methods primarily involve Carbon-13 and Carbon-14 urea breath test, both carrying potential safety risks.
