The development of an efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding material that balances the paradoxical relationship between low thickness and ultra-low reflectivity is highly significant for mitigating secondary electromagnetic wave pollution. In this work, a sandwich structure consisting of thermoplastic composite, porous foam, and conductive film was meticulously designed, employing a modular assembly strategy. This design aims to tackle the challenge by optimally leveraging the inherent advantages of each individual layer, thereby enhancing the overall performance and functionality of the structure.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by dysplasia in early life. Psychoradiology studies have suggested that mental and behavioral deficits in individuals with PWS are linked to abnormalities in brain structural and functional networks. However, little is known about changes in network-based structural-functional coupling and structural/functional topological properties and their correlations with developmental scales in children with PWS.

Objective: To investigate the alteration in structural and functional connectivity networks (SCN and FCN) as well as their coupling in pediatric myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), and determine if these properties could serve as potential biomarkers for the disease.

Materials And Methods: In total of 32 children with MOGAD and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC) were employed to construct the SCN and FCN, respectively. The graph-theoretical analyses of the global properties, node properties of the 90 brain nodes, and the structural-functional connectivity (SC-FC) coupling of the two networks were performed.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer is a major health issue in women and is associated with metabolic dysfunction, particularly related to mitochondrial metabolism, but the impact of mitochondrial metabolism-related genes (MMRGs) on breast cancer prognosis is not fully understood.
  • Researchers developed a risk score model using MMRGs from various databases and found that a 12-gene model could predict patient survival and was an independent factor alongside traditional clinical metrics.
  • Analysis showed that patients categorized as low-risk had better immune responses and were more sensitive to specific anti-tumor drugs, indicating that understanding MMRG characteristics can enhance treatment strategies and prognostic predictions for breast cancer patients.

Rationale And Objectives: To develop MRI-based radiomics models from the lesion level to the subject level and assess their value for differentiating myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-related disease (MOGAD) from non-MOGAD acute demyelinating syndromes in pediatrics.

Materials And Methods: 66 MOGAD and 66 non-MOGAD children were assigned to the training set (36/35), internal test set (14/16), and external test set (16/15), respectively. At the lesion level, five single-sequence models were developed alongside a fusion model (combining these five sequences).

Purpose: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) suffers from brain functional reorganization and developmental delays during childhood, but the underlying neurodevelopmental mechanism is unclear. This paper aims to investigate the intra- and internetwork functional connectivity (FC) changes, and their relationships with developmental delays in PWS children.

Methods: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging datasets of PWS children and healthy controls (HCs) were acquired.

Article Synopsis
  • A protective ileostomy is often used after laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery to prevent complications like anastomotic leakage, but its necessity is debated.
  • A meta-analysis of 525 studies indicated no significant difference in postoperative wound infections between patients with and without ileostomies, although non-ostomate patients showed higher rates of anastomotic leaks.
  • The findings suggest that ileostomy may be effective in reducing the risk of anastomotic leakage without increasing infection risks, pointing towards its cautious use after surgery.

This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of microinvasive and open operations on postoperative wound complications in low rectal carcinoma patients. Research on limited English has been conducted systematically in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. The date up to the search was in August 2023.

High electromagnetic interference shielding (EMIS) effectiveness and good thermal management properties are both required to meet the rapid development of integrated electronic components. However, it remains challenging to obtain environmentally friendly and flexible films with high EMIS and thermal management performance in an efficient and scalable way. In this paper, an environmentally friendly strategy is proposed to synthesize multifunctional waterborne Cu@Ag flake conductive films using water as the solvent and silicone-acrylic emulsion (SAE) as a matrix.

Purpose: Our aim was to investigate the normal reference value and to establish an estimation formulae for renal structural parameters (RSPs) based on large-sample CT data of Chinese children, which can provide a data reference for the clinical assessment of kidney development and diseases in Chinese children.

Materials And Methods: A total of 438 children aged 0-17 years with normal renal CT images and basic indices were continuously collected. The bilateral RSP, including renal length (RL), renal width (RW), renal thickness (RT), renal volume (RV), renal cortical thickness (RCT), renal artery diameter (RAD) and renal CT value, were measured.

LncRNAs can be transported to tumor cells where they exert regulatory effects by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC)-derived exosomes. Here, we aimed to investigate the functional mechanism of BMSC-derived exosomal lncRNA PTENP1 in the progression of bladder cancer (BC). Methods of BMSC were identified by detecting surface markers through flow cytometry.

The abnormal expression of ubiquitin-specific protease 11 (USP11) is thought to be related to tumor development and progression; however, few studies have reported the biological function and clinical importance of USP11 in colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the role of USP11 in CRC. Immunohistochemical staining was used to explore the association between prognosis and USP11 expression in CRC.

Article Synopsis
  • Gastric cancer is a prevalent type of cancer with high rates of both incidence and death, and the study focuses on the role of microRNA, specifically miR‑204‑5p, in this disease.
  • The research found that miR‑204‑5p is downregulated in gastric cancer cells, and its overexpression can significantly reduce cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while increasing apoptosis in these cells.
  • miR‑204‑5p was shown to directly target the HER‑2 gene, suggesting that it could serve as a potential therapeutic target for treating gastric cancer by promoting anti-tumor effects.

Hypermethylation leading to the loss of hypermethylated in cancer-1 (HIC1) gene expression occurs in many different types of human cancer. HIC1 is a transcriptional repressor that directly binds to the promoter region of NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1 (SIRT1). SIRT1 functions in cell growth, is anti-apoptotic, protect neurons, functions in senescence, and regulates energy restriction.
