Strength Tests and Mechanism of Composite Stabilized Lightweight Soil Using Dredged Sludge.

To achieve resourceful utilization of dredged sludge, lightweight treatment was performed on sludge from Xunsi River in Wuhan using fly ash, cement, and expanded polystyrene (EPS) particles. Density tests and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted on the composite stabilized sludge lightweight soil to determine the optimal mix ratio for high-quality roadbed fill material with low self-weight and high strength. Subsequently, microstructural tests, including X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were conducted.

The Family in : Identification, Characterization, Evolution and Expression Profiles.

The B-box proteins (BBXs) encode a family of zinc-finger transcription factors that regulate the plant circadian rhythm and early light morphogenesis. The double B-box () family is in the class of the B-box family, which contains two conserved B-box domains and lacks a CCT (CO, CO-like and TOC1) motif. In this study, the identity, classification, structures, conserved motifs, chromosomal location, elements, duplication events, and expression profiles of the genes were analyzed in the woody model plant .

A robust approach for computing solutions of fractional-order two-dimensional Helmholtz equation.

The Helmholtz equation plays a crucial role in the study of wave propagation, underwater acoustics, and the behavior of waves in the ocean environment. The Helmholtz equation is also used to describe propagation through ocean waves, such as sound waves or electromagnetic waves. This paper presents the Elzaki transform residual power series method ([Formula: see text]T-RPSM) for the analytical treatment of fractional-order Helmholtz equation.

Intratumoral CD103 CD8 T cells predict response to neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy in advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: Immune cell heterogenicity is known to determine the therapeutic response to cancer progression. Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (NACI) has shown clinical benefits in some patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but the underlying mechanism behind this clinical response is unknown. The efficacy of NACI needs to be potentiated by identifying accurate biomarkers to predict clinical responses.

Gut microbiome as a key monitoring indicator for reintroductions of captive animals.

Reintroduction programs seek to restore degraded populations and reverse biodiversity loss. To examine the hypothesis that gut symbionts could be used as an indicator of reintroduction success, we performed intensive metagenomic monitoring over 10 years to characterize the ecological succession and adaptive evolution of the gut symbionts of captive giant pandas reintroduced to the wild. We collected 63 fecal samples from 3 reintroduced individuals and 22 from 9 wild individuals and used 96 publicly available samples from another 3 captive individuals.

PAE ameliorates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity via suppressing NHE1 phosphorylation and stimulating PI3K/AKT phosphorylation.

Doxorubicin (DOX), a broad-spectrum anti-tumor drug, has severe cardiotoxic side effects that limit its clinical application. Perillaldehyde (PAE) is the main component of volatile oil extracted from the stems and leaves of Herbaceous plant-perilla, which demonstrates antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and other health functions. The present study aimed to explore the protective effect of perillaldehyde on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in rats and to confirm its possible mechanism.

Correlation Between TCF7 T Cells and Prognosis of Patients With Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate whether TCF7 T cells constitute an important factor to improve the existing postoperative prediction model for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Method: TCF7 T cells were detected in the tissues of 167 OSCC patients by multiplex immunofluorescence. The percentage of TCF7 T cells was transformed into a dichotomous variable, combined with the clinicopathological data for the OSCC patients, and then subjected to univariate and multivariate analyses.
