Metal-organic cage crosslinked nanocomposites with enhanced high-temperature capacitive energy storage performance.

Polymer dielectric materials are widely used in electrical and electronic systems, and there have been increasing demands on their dielectric properties at high temperatures. Incorporating inorganic nanoparticles into polymers is an effective approach to improving their dielectric properties. However, the agglomeration of inorganic nanoparticles and the destabilization of the organic-inorganic interface at high temperatures have limited the development of nanocomposites toward large-scale industrial production.

Research and development of new intelligent foaming and discharging agent system.

The application of classic foaming agent faces several issues, including excessive use of defoaming agent, inadequate defoaming, pipeline blockage due to silicone oil precipitation, and high development cost of the foaming agent. To address the aforementioned issues, a novel intelligent foaming agent was created. This resulted in the development of a new intelligent foaming and discharging agent system.

The dynamic triage interplay of Hsp90 with its chaperone cycle and client binding.

Hsp90, a crucial molecular chaperone, regulates diverse client proteins, impacting both normal biology and disease. Central to its function is its conformational plasticity, driven by ATPase activity and client interactions. However, comprehensive insights into Hsp90's dynamic molecular transitions remain elusive.

The relationship between dyadic coping and post-traumatic growth in breast cancer patients and spouses: based on potential profile analysis.

Background: The disease impact of breast cancer is to view the couple as a whole, breast cancer is a disease shared by the couple. Cancer coping has evolved from an individual perspective to a dyadic coping perspective for couples. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the dyadic coping categories of couples with breast cancer and to analyze the relationship between dyadic coping categories and post-traumatic growth (PTG) in couples with breast cancer.

The Potential of ESCO2 as a Prognostic and Immunotherapeutic Marker of Pan-Cancer and Its Role in Anti-PD-1 Treatment of Bladder Cancer.

Introduction: Establishment of sister chromatid cohesion N-acetyltransferase 2 (ESCO2), a member of the EFO2 family, is implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of various cancers. However, there has been limited comprehensive pan-cancer analysis conducted on ESCO2 thus far.

Methods: Publicly available databases, such as the UCSC Xena database, were utilized to examine differential expression patterns across various cancer types.

Efficient Near-Infrared to Blue Photon Upconversion by Ultrafast Spin Flip and Triplet Energy Transfer at Organic/2D Semiconductor Interface.

Solid state photon upconversion by triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA), particularly near-infrared (NIR)-to-blue upconversion, holds instant promise for enhancing optoelectronic and photochemical applications. Despite extensive studies, NIR-to-blue upconversion has remained particularly challenging and elusive due to inherent multiple energy-downhill processes in TTA upconversion. In this study, using atomically thin two dimensional (2D) monolayer semiconductor as a triplet sensitizer, we demonstrate an efficient and robust solid-state NIR-to-blue photon upconversion system.

Distributed Identity Authentication with Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovász Algorithm-Ciphertext Policy Attribute-Based Encryption from Lattices: An Efficient Approach Based on Ring Learning with Errors Problem.

In recent years, research on attribute-based encryption (ABE) has expanded into the quantum domain. Because a traditional single authority can cause the potential single point of failure, an improved lattice-based quantum-resistant identity authentication and policy attribute encryption scheme is proposed, in which the generation of random values is optimized by adjusting parameters in the Gaussian sampling algorithm to improve overall performance. Additionally, in the key generation phase, attributes are processed according to their shared nature, which reduces the computational overhead of the authorization authority.

Surface Electromyography-Based Recognition of Electronic Taste Sensations.

Taste sensation recognition is a core for taste-related queries. Most prior research has been devoted to recognizing the basic taste sensations using the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), which includes EEG, MEG, EMG, and fMRI. This research aims to recognize electronic taste (E-Taste) sensations based on surface electromyography (sEMG).

Migraine versus tension-type headache in automatic emotional processing: A visual mismatch negativity study.

Objective: It is important to discriminate different headaches in clinical practice, and neurocognitive biomarkers may serve as objective tools. Several reports have suggested potential cognitive impairment for primary headaches, whereas cognitions within specific domains remain elusive, e.g.

3D-Printed Stents Loaded with Saponin for Promoting Re-endothelialization and Reducing Local Inflammation in the Carotid Artery of Rabbits.

Endovascular treatment (EVT) using stents has become the primary option for severe cerebrovascular stenosis. However, considerable challenges remain to be addressed, such as in-stent restenosis (ISR) and late thrombosis. Many modified stents have been developed to inhibit the hyperproliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and protect vascular endothelial cells (VECs), thereby reducing such complications.

Ppb-Level Ammonia Sensor for Exhaled Breath Diagnosis Based on UV-DOAS Combined with Spectral Reconstruction Fitting Neural Network.

Ammonia (NH) in exhaled breath (EB) has been a biomarker for kidney function, and accurate measurement of NH is essential for early screening of kidney disease. In this work, we report an optical sensor that combines ultraviolet differential optical absorption spectroscopy (UV-DOAS) and spectral reconstruction fitting neural network (SRFNN) for detecting NH in EB. UV-DOAS is introduced to eliminate interference from slow change absorption in the EB spectrum while spectral reconstruction fitting is proposed for the first time to map the original spectra onto the sine function spectra by the principle of least absolute deviations.

Inhibiting miR-618 Promotes Keratinocytes Proliferation and Migration to Enhance Wound Healing in Mice.

The delay in wound healing caused by chronic wounds or pathological scars is a pressing issue in clinical practice, imposing significant economic and psychological burdens on patients. In particular, with the aging of the population and the increasing incidence of diseases such as diabetes, impaired wound healing is one of the growing health problems. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in wound healing and regulates various biological processes.

Structural basis for the dynamic chaperoning of disordered clients by Hsp90.

Molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a ubiquitous regulator that fine-tunes and remodels diverse client proteins, exerting profound effects on normal biology and diseases. Unraveling the mechanistic details of Hsp90's function requires atomic-level insights into its client interactions throughout the adenosine triphosphate-coupled functional cycle. However, the structural details of the initial encounter complex in the chaperone cycle, wherein Hsp90 adopts an open conformation while engaging with the client, remain elusive.
