Background: Ground-glass opacity (GGO) on computed tomography (CT) has been suggested as a potential prognostic factor in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), but its significance in patients with pathological stage IA3 LUAD, particularly in relation to micropapillary (MIP) status, remains unclear. This study addresses the clinical need to stratify patients based on GGO and MIP status to optimize prognosis prediction and follow-up strategies.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective study was conducted on 411 patients with pathological stage IA3 LUAD, enrolled between July 2012 and July 2020.
Aims: Atrioventricular block (AVB) is a prevalent bradyarrhythmia. This study aims to investigate the causal effects of epigenetic aging, as inferred from DNA methylation profiles on the prevalence of AVB by Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods: Genetic instruments for epigenetic aging and AVB were obtained from genome-wide association study data in the Edinburgh DataShare and FinnGen biobanks.
Understanding the interfacial dynamics during operation is critical for electrochemistry to make great advancements. However, breakthroughs on this topic under extreme conditions are very scarce. Here, as an example, we employ operando Raman spectroscopy to decode the interfacial dynamics of titanium electrolysis using a tailored instrument.

Methods: A retrospective selection of 208 patients who were hospitalized for missed early miscarriage at Hubei Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2023 to June 2023 were included.
Cold stress has a huge impact on the growth and development of cotton, presenting a significant challenge to its productivity. Comprehending the complex molecular mechanisms that control the reaction to CS is necessary for developing tactics to improve cold tolerance in cotton. This review paper explores how cotton responds to cold stress by regulating gene expression, focusing on both activating and repressing specific genes.
