A novel m7G-related miRNA prognostic signature for predicting clinical outcome and immune microenvironment in colon cancer.

Colon cancer (CC) is a highly prevalent malignancy worldwide, characterized by elevated mortality rates and poor prognosis. N7-methylguanosine (m7G) methylation is an emerging RNA modification type and involved in the development of many tumors. Despite this, the correlation between m7G-related miRNAs and CC remains to be elucidated.

Association of oxidative balance score with Helicobacter pylori infection and mortality among US population.

Background: Antioxidant and pro-oxidant dietary patterns and lifestyle changes have been considered to play a crucial role in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. We conducted this study to investigate the underlying association between oxidative balance score (OBS) and H.

Causality of Helicobacter pylori infection on eosinophilic esophagitis and potential pathogenesis: a Mendelian randomization study.

Background: Observational studies have indicated a possible connection between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), but their causal relationship has yet to be established. To investigate the causal associations between H.

A Transparent Additive-Free Fibrous Facial Mask for Skin Moisturizing.

Most sheet facial masks for skincare are made of nonwovens and loaded with liquid active ingredients, which are usually opaque and require additives for long-term preservation. Herein, a Transparent Additive-Free Fibrous (TAFF) facial mask is reported for skin moisturizing. The TAFF facial mask consists of a bilayer fibrous membrane.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors/Angiotensin Receptor Blockers: Anti-arrhythmic Drug for Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy.

Current treatment guidelines for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) mainly emphasize on prevention of ventricular arrhythmic events. Despite the progressive nature of ARVC, therapeutic options focusing on decelerating disease progression are scarce. This retrospective observational cohort study included 311 patients [age, 39.

New experimental animal model of intracardiac thrombus created with epicardial echocardiographic guidance.

Background: Models of intracardiac thrombus are very difficult to establish and have rarely been reported. We designed and established a new, inexpensive, practical animal model for intracardiac thrombus created with epicardial echocardiographic guidance.

Methods: Male New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2 to 3.

Remarkable Improvement in Photocatalytic Performance for Tannery Wastewater Processing via SnS Modified with N-Doped Carbon Quantum Dots: Synthesis, Characterization, and 4-Nitrophenol-Aided Cr(VI) Photoreduction.

Photocatalytic pathways are proved crucial for the sustainable production of chemicals and fuels required for a pollution-free planet. Electron-hole recombination is a critical problem that has, so far, limited the efficiency of the most promising photocatalytic materials. Here, the efficacy of the 0D N doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) is demonstrated in accelerating the charge separation and transfer and thereby boosting the activity of a narrow-bandgap SnS photocatalytic system.

Cadmium telluride quantum dots as pH-sensitive probes for tiopronin determination.

The pH-sensitive cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) were used as proton probes for tiopronin determination. Based on the fluorescence quenching of CdTe QDs caused by tiopronin, a simple, rapid and specific quantitative method was proposed. Under the optimal conditions, the calibration plot of ln(F(0)/F) with concentration of tiopronin was linear in the range of 0.
