Objective: To explore the correlation between different types of vegetable and fruit intake and cognitive function among the older adults in Chongqing, China, and to provide a scientific basis for developing efficient lifestyle interventions for the prevention of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
Method: Approximately 728 older adults in urban and rural areas of Chongqing were surveyed using face-to-face questionnaires. Cognitive function was assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic (MoCA-B) scale, and the vegetable and fruit intake groups were investigated with the Simple Food Frequency Counting Survey Scale.
Blend proton exchange membranes (BPEMs) were prepared by blending sulfonated poly(aryl ether nitrile) (SPAEN) with phosphorylated poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PPVBC) and named as SPM-x%, where x refers to the proportion of PPVBC to the weight of SPAEN. The chemical complexation interaction between the phosphoric acid and sulfonic acid groups in the PPVBC-SPAEN system resulted in BPEMs with reduced water uptake and enhanced mechanical properties compared to SPAEN proton exchange membranes. Furthermore, the flame retardancy of the PPVBC improved the thermal stability of the BPEMs.

- Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) is a key procedure for diagnosing pancreatic cancer, especially due to its effectiveness and low risk of complications.
- Researchers aimed to create a convolutional neural network (CNN) using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to enhance the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer from cytology samples.
- The developed model showed high accuracy (92.04%) and excellent sensitivity and specificity in differentiating pancreatic adenocarcinoma from benign tissues, emphasizing its potential value as a diagnostic tool for cytopathologists.
Substrate selectivity is one of the most attractive features of natural enzymes from their "bind-to-catalyze" working flow and is thus a goal for the development of synthetic enzyme mimics that mediate abiotic transformations. However, despite the recent success in the preparation of substrate-selective enzyme mimics based on single-chain nanoparticles, examples extending such selectivity into living systems have been absent. In this article, we report the substrate selectivity of an enzyme-mimicking macromolecular catalyst based on a cationic dense-shell nanoparticle (DSNP) scaffold.
