Breast cancer (BC) is a group of markedly heterogeneous tumours. There are many subtypes with different biological behaviours and clinicopathological characteristics, leading to significantly different prognosis. Despite significant advances in the treatment of BC, early metastatic is a critical factor for poor prognosis in BC patients.

Herein, we sought to design, synthesize, and evaluate a novel 4-anilinoquinazoline derivative and identify its anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo. The novel compound, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-methyl-2-(methyl-d)quinazolin-4-amine (AQ-4), was identified as a representative scaffold and potent microtubule-targeting agent.

Interface effects in magnetic nanostructures play a critical role in the magnetic properties. By using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of Fe/SrTiO interfaces, in which both the nonpolar surface SrTiO(0 0 1) and the polar surface SrTiO(1 1 0) are considered. A particular emphasis is placed on the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE).

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of modified Sanmiao Powder (SMP) in treating chronic uric acid nephropathy (CUAN).
Methods: Ninety-four patients with CUAN were equally randomized to the treated group and the control group. Conventional treatment was given to all patients and the treated group was administered with SMP additionally for 12 weeks.
