Background: Cervical cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor in women. This study aims to detect collagen type V α1 chain (COL5A1) expression and its clinical relevance in the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer.
Methods: Cervical cancer tissues and their paired adjacent normal tissues were prepared for tissue microarray.
Background: Cervical cancer is a human papillomavirus (HPV)-related disease. HPV type 16 (HPV16), which is the predominant cause of cervical cancer, can encode miRNAs (HPV16-miRNAs). However, the role of HPV16-miRNAs in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer remains unclear.

Objective: To identify the effectiveness and safety of centralized early rehabilitation care for children with severe acquired brain injury.
Methods: This is a mixed methods study-an implementation study and single-center retrospective cohort study with historical control.
Objective: Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies worldwide. Although rapid improvements have been made regarding its prevention and treatment, little is known about disease pathogenesis and the clinical relevance of reliable biomarkers. The present study evaluated the expression of cystatin B (CSTB) as a potential biomarker of CC.

GaN JBS diodes exhibit excellent performance in power electronics. However, device performance is affected by multiple parameters of the P+ region, and the traditional TCAD simulation method is complex and time-consuming. In this study, we used a neural network machine learning method to predict the performance of a GaN JBS diode.

We also reviewed the available literature on this topic for further insights to inform its future development.
Materials And Methods: We used a cross-sectional study design to survey tertiary hospitals nationwide.
Nanoantenna fusion photonics and nanotechnology can manipulate light through the ultra-thin structure composed of sub-wavelength antennas, and meet the important requirements for miniaturized optical components, completely changing the field of optics. However, the device design process is still time-consuming and consumes computing resources. Besides, the professional knowledge requirements of engineers are also high.

The research of traditional FDSOI devices is mostly based on simulation software, which requires a lot of calculation and takes a long time. In this paper, a deep learning (DL) based electrical characteristic prediction method for FDSOI devices is proposed.

In this study, the purification behavior of metallic impurities (Fe, Mg, Ca) from a wet phosphoric acid solution employing the electro-electrodialysis (EED) technology was investigated. The cross-linked polysulfone anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) for EED were prepared using ,,','-tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine (TMHDA) to achieve simultaneous cross-linking and quaternization without any cross-linkers or catalysts.

CAWs in China mainly include community cadres, community mental health staff, and community policemen. The mental health related knowledge and attitudes of CAWs could influence their mental health care delivery.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether matrine can alleviate liver injury and promote HOC differentiation into hepatocytes by suppression of Notch pathway.
Main Methods: We evaluated the expression of Notch-1, Jagged-1, and Hes-1 in HCC tissue by immunohistochemistry.
To explore the value of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) metabolic parameters before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in predicting histopathological response and prognosis of locally advanced gastric cancer. A total of 56 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer underwent F-FDG PET/CT before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUV), mean standardized uptake value (SUV), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) of the lesions were measured before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
