Limited data exists concerning the fertility desires of young people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in China, making it difficult to develop appropriate reproductive health service policies and interventions for them. Extensive fieldwork was carried out from April to May 2021 in 10 selected survey sites across five provinces, targeting all young men aged between 18 and 24 years living with HIV. The association between independent variables and fertility desires was determined using Chi-square tests and Multivariate binary logistic regression models.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers a promising approach for differentiating multiple primary lung cancers (MPLC) from intrapulmonary metastasis (IPM), though panel selection and clonal interpretation remain challenging. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) data from 80 lung cancer samples were utilized to simulate MPLC and IPM, with various sequenced panels constructed through gene subsampling. Two clonal interpretation approaches primarily applied in clinical practice, MoleA (based on shared mutation comparison) and MoleB (based on probability calculation), were subsequently evaluated.

Background: Targeted therapy is a crucial treatment modality for advanced gastric cancer, with several targets already identified, and the exploration of new targets is important. In this study, our aim was to identify plasma proteins causally associated with gastric cancer to explore novel genetic targets for the disease.

Methods: Firstly, we utilized protein quantitative trait loci data for 4,907 plasma proteins and genome-wide association study data for gastric cancer to conduct Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.

Article Synopsis
  • - The ASCEND-LUNG study aims to improve lung cancer screening and management by developing a liquid biopsy-based system, called PKU-LCSMS, to address the limitations of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) that has poor compliance and variable specificity.
  • - The system integrates a lung cancer screening model to identify patients who need LDCT and an AI-aided model for diagnosing pulmonary nodules, using a dataset of 465 participants to create and validate these models.
  • - Validation was performed with an independent cohort of 291 participants, incorporating analysis of blood samples and CT images, aiming to enhance accuracy in detecting lung cancer and managing nodules.

There is a complex high-dimensional nonlinear mapping relationship between the compressive strength of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) and its components, which has great influence on the accurate prediction of compressive strength. In this paper, an efficient robust software calculation strategy combining BP Neural Network (BPNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed for the prediction of compressive strength of HPC. 8 features were extracted from the previous literature, and a compressive strength database containing 454 sets of data was constructed.

  • - The study examines the link between dietary habits and hearing loss in older adults, using data from 882 participants aged 45 and older over an average of 8 years.
  • - Researchers assessed both dietary intake through a food questionnaire and hearing status via audiometry, finding that healthier diets (like the Mediterranean and Alternative Healthy Eating Index) were tied to better hearing outcomes.
  • - Results indicated that higher scores on healthy dietary indices correlated with improved hearing thresholds, especially at high frequencies, suggesting a potential benefit of good nutrition for hearing health.

Recently layered antiferromagnetic materials with different magnetic orderings attract increased attention. It was found that these properties can be preserved down to the monolayer limit opening large perspectives for their applications in (opto)spintronics and sensing, however, lacking the experimental results on electronic structure studies. Here the results of angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) studies accompanied by DFT calculations for FeNiPS layered van der Waals (vdW) alloys are presented, addressing the effects of electronic correlations in these materials.

  • The study investigates how different sources of dietary protein—plant vs. animal—affect frailty in older adults, using data from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.
  • Analyzing 735 participants, the researchers found that higher plant protein intake was linked to lower frailty scores, while animal protein did not show this association.
  • They identified 25 plasma metabolites related to plant protein intake, with 15 acting as mediators that contribute to the lower frailty, primarily through reduced lipid metabolites and increased tryptophan-related metabolites.

Objective: While numerous studies have highlighted an increased prevalence of depression in individuals with narcolepsy, their conclusions are often clouded by potential confounding factors, leaving the causal relationship uncertain. This study posits that narcolepsy might heighten the risk of depression and employs a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis to investigate this hypothesis.

Methods: Summary statistics were obtained from genome-wide association studies databases and performed a two-sample MR analysis.
