Article Synopsis
  • Important fishery resources in China's coastal waters, including species with short life cycles and rapid growth, have seen a decline, raising concerns for their protection and utilization.
  • The study utilized three machine learning methods—random forest model, artificial neural network model, and generalized boosted regression models—to analyze the distribution of fish habitat and its relationship with environmental factors in Haizhou Bay.
  • Results indicated that factors like sea bottom temperature, seawater depth, and sea bottom salinity significantly influenced habitat distribution, with the random forest model performing best in both fitting and prediction; the fish were primarily found between coordinates 34.5°-35.8° N and 119.7°-121° E.

Background: The high incidence of workplace violence (WPV) in clinical mental health settings has caused a series of negative impacts on nurses, which has subsequently increased public concern. De-escalation (DE) is recommended as a training program which aims at providing nurses with skills and strategies to more effectively respond and manage WPV. Very few studies have examined the effectiveness of DE training, with current studies possessing various limitations due to their design and small sample sizes.

Oxygen (O) plays a critical role during photodynamic therapy (PDT), however, hypoxia is quite common in most solid tumors, which limits the PDT efficacy and promotes the tumor aggression. Here, a safe and multifunctional oxygen-evolving nanoplatform is costructured to overcome this problem. It is composed of a prussian blue (PB) core and chlorin e6 (Ce6) anchored periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) shell (denoted as PB@PMO-Ce6).

The effects of strong interactions between Ti and ceria on the structures of Ti/CeO(111) are systematically investigated by density functional theory calculation. To our best knowledge, the adsorption energy of a Ti atom at the hollow site of CeO is the highest value (-7.99 eV) reported in the literature compared with those of Au (-0.

In this work, we design mesoporous silica-coated Prussian blue nanocubes with PEGyltation to construct multifunctional PB@mSiO2-PEG nanocubes. The PB@mSiO2-PEG nanocubes have good biocompatibility, excellent photothermal transformation capacity, in vivo magnetic resonance and photoacoustic imaging ability. After loading antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) in the PB@mSiO2-PEG nanocubes, the constructured PB@mSiO2-PEG/DOX nanoplatforms show an excellent pH-responsive drug release character within 48 h, namely, an ultralow cumulative drug release amount of 3.

Aim: To investigate the correlation between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and cell cycle-regulatory proteins in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Methods: One hundred and two surgically obtained specimens of ESCC were randomly collected. All specimens were obtained from patients who had not received chemo- or radiotherapy prior to surgical resection.
