Aims: The cause-specific mortality implications of social determinants of health (SDOH) in cancer survivors were unclear. This study aimed to explore associations between SDOH and cardiovascular and cancer mortality in cancer survivors.
Methods And Results: Data from 2013 to 2017 National Health Interview Survey were used for this prospective cohort study.
This work investigated the effects of 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (APTES) hydrolysis time on the physicochemical properties of the resulting starch/epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) bioplastics comprehensively. FTIR analysis confirmed that APTES hydrolyzed for 4 h had the best modification effect on starch. The results of XRD and TGA demonstrated the successful silylation of starch by APTES despite hydrolysis time.

- Hydrogels are advantageous for creating flexible sensors due to their soft texture and adjustable chemical properties, although challenges remain in achieving the right combination of mechanical and conductive traits for practical use.
- A new type of hydrogel sensor, named PAM/BA-Ag@PDA, is developed by polymerizing acrylamide with dynamic crosslinked silver-modified polydopamine nanoparticles, enhancing its strength, conductivity, and self-healing capabilities.
- This hydrogel functions effectively as a strain sensor, showing good sensitivity, rapid response time, and stability while being able to adhere to skin to monitor various movements, making it suitable for wearable healthcare applications.*
Nuclear actin-based movements support DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. However, molecular determinants that promote filamentous actin (F-actin) formation on the damaged chromatin remain undefined. Here we describe the DYRK1A kinase as a nuclear activity that promotes local F-actin assembly to support DSB mobility and repair, accomplished in part by its targeting of actin nucleator spire homolog 1 (Spir1).

The current study aimed to investigate the associations between PA levels and the CBVD incidence or all-cause mortality.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
