In order to increase the thermal conductivity of neat epoxy resin and broaden its practical application in high-voltage insulation systems, we have constructed four kinds of epoxy resin nanocomposite models (a neat epoxy resin (EP), a graphene-doped epoxy resin nanocomposite (EP/GR) and hydroxyl- or carboxyl-functionalized graphene-doped epoxy resin nanocomposites (EP/GR-OH or EP/GR-COOH)) to systematically investigate their thermodynamic and electrical properties using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Compared with the EP model, carboxyl-functionalized graphene particles enhanced the thermal conductivity of the EP/GR-COOH model by 66.5% and increased its by 26.

Purpose: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is a distressing and complicated adverse pregnancy outcome. It is commonly recognized that insufficient decidualization could result in RM, but the molecular mechanisms of decidual impairment are still not fully understood. Thus, this study aimed to identify novel key genes potentially involved in RM and explore their roles played in endometrial decidualization.

Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is currently difficult to prevent and treat due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of its molecular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to identify genes potentially involved in the pathogenesis of RM and to observe their expression in the decidual tissues of RM patients. A total of 1823 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 148 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in decidual tissues between RM and control groups were identified.

In Brief: Insufficiency of extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cell invasion is implicated in pregnancy complications. This study reveals the roles of the miR-486-5p/Smad2 pathway in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced EVT dysfunctions and in the pathogenesis of early pregnancy loss (EPL).

Abstract: Placenta-associated pathologies, including EPL and preeclampsia, are characterized by insufficient EVT invasion.

Abnormally elevated tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) levels at the maternal-fetal interface can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including recurrent miscarriage (RM), but the mechanism underlying upregulated TNFα expression is not fully understood. We previously reported that the interaction between monoclonal nonspecific suppressor factor-β (MNSFβ) and RC3H1 upregulates TNFα expression, but the precise mechanisms are unknown. In this study, we found that MNSFβ stimulated the LPS-induced TNFα expression by inactivating the promoting effect of RC3H1 on TNFα mRNA degradation rather than directly inhibiting the expression of RC3H1 in THP1-Mϕs.

In clinical practice, the anatomical classification of pulmonary veins plays a crucial role in the preoperative assessment of atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation surgery. Accurate classification of pulmonary vein anatomy assists physicians in selecting appropriate mapping electrodes and avoids causing pulmonary arterial hypertension. Due to the diverse and subtly different anatomical classifications of pulmonary veins, as well as the imbalance in data distribution, deep learning models often exhibit poor expression capability in extracting deep features, leading to misjudgments and affecting classification accuracy.

In the domain of medical image segmentation, traditional diffusion probabilistic models are hindered by local inductive biases stemming from convolutional operations, constraining their ability to model long-term dependencies and leading to inaccurate mask generation. Conversely, Transformer offers a remedy by obviating the local inductive biases inherent in convolutional operations, thereby enhancing segmentation precision. Currently, the integration of Transformer and convolution operations mainly occurs in two forms: nesting and stacking.

Article Synopsis
  • Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents over 80% of lung cancer cases, but its 5-year survival rate remains poor, prompting research into microRNAs like miR-3074-5p as potential regulators of tumor growth.
  • Overexpression of miR-3074-5p in NSCLC cells led to reduced cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while inducing apoptosis, suggesting it plays a critical role in cancer suppression.
  • The study identified YWHAZ as a target of miR-3074-5p and demonstrated that it interacts with the protein Hsp27, implicating the miR-3074-5p/YWHAZ/Hsp27 pathway as a promising therapeutic target for NSCLC

Article Synopsis
  • The research on cancer patients returning to work in China is early-stage, highlighting the need for a specialized tool, the Adaptability to Return-to-Work Scale (ARTWS), to measure this group's adaptability.
  • The ARTWS was developed through expert feedback and testing, resulting in a 24-item scale that identifies key factors influencing work adaptability: "Focusing on rehabilitation," "Rebuilding Self-efficiency," and "Adjusting plans," which account for 66.6% of variance.
  • The scale demonstrated strong reliability and validity, making it a valuable resource for assessing cancer patients' readiness to return to work.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers found that knocking in miR-3074-5p in pregnant mice resulted in higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, more M1 macrophages, and increased embryo resorption compared to wild-type mice.
  • * The findings suggest that miR-3074-5p targets estrogen receptor-α, promoting harmful immune responses and potentially contributing to implantation issues in patients with repeated implantation failure by disrupting the inflammatory balance in early pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are commonly used for medical image segmentation, but they struggle with long-term dependencies due to local inductive biases.
  • The introduction of Transformer technology helps overcome these limitations by allowing for better modeling of long-range relationships, leading to improved segmentation and classification accuracies.
  • The paper presents a parallel hybrid model that combines Transformer and CNN branches to extract both local and global features effectively, achieving high segmentation performance with an average Dice coefficient of 92.65% on the Flare21 dataset and 91.61% on the Amos22 dataset.

Dysfunction of extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) might cause early pregnancy failure by interfering with embryo implantation and/or placentation. We previously reported that the villus miR-3074-5p expression level was increased, whereas the peripheral level of GDF15, a predict target gene of miR-3074-5p, was decreased in recurrent miscarriages (RM) patients, and miR-3074-5p could enhance apoptosis but reduce invasion of human extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs). The aim of this study was to further explore roles of miR-3074-5p/GDF15 pathway in regulation of EVTs function.

Modern insecticide substitutes using acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) as biochemical targets, such as neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs), have been extensively researched. Only 12 compounds have been experimentally realized since the initial discovery of imidacloprid. Increasingly, the bottleneck in this field is to rapidly determine the synthesizability of NNI substitutes.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence of rubella antibodies and factors associated with antibody seropositivity after vaccination among healthy children aged 14 and below. A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was employed to recruit participants for the rubella serological test. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was used to detect human IgG antibodies with avidity for rubella virus in the sera of participants.

Novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs), one of the most widely used synthetic flame-retardant materials, have been considered as a new group of pollutants that potentially affect human health. To overcome the adverse effects of NBFRs, a systematic approach for molecular design, screening, and performance evaluation was developed to generate environmentally friendly NBFR derivatives with unaltered functionality. In the present study, the features of NBFRs (long-distance migration, biotoxicity, bioenrichment, and environmental persistence) were determined and characterized by the multifactor comprehensive characterization method with equal weight addition, and the similarity index analysis (CoMSIA) model was constructed.

Nitrogen-doped graphene as a perfectly-efficient and environmentally compatible electrocatalyst won widespread attention in electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOP). However, the relationship between surface structure regulation and activity of catalysts is still lacking in systematic scientific guidance. Herein, nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel (NGA) was conveniently prepared through hydrothermal treatment, and then utilized to fabricate the gas diffusion electrode (GDE) as the cathode for tetracycline (TC) removal.
