The present theoretical study shows that a double chain of Cu metal atoms adsorbed on a Cu(111) metal surface can guide an excited electron for distances exceeding 10 nm. The nanostructure appears to be quasi-decoupled from the substrate and thus to act as a nanowire. The origin of the above phenomenon is the interference between the decay of the quasistationary 1D sp-band states localized on each chain. This allows to approach the situation of the formation of bound states in the continuum first discussed in quantum systems by von Neumann and Wigner.

Objective: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecological malignancy, and its metastasis is one of the primary causes of treatment failure. Immunoglobulin superfamily member 1 (IGSF1), a membrane protein, has been associated with the aggressiveness and metastatic capability of various cancers. However, the role and mechanism of this protein in EC remains unclear.

Background: There is a growing interest in exploring the biological characteristics of nanoparticles and exploring their potential applications. However, there is still a lack of research into the potential genotoxicity of fullerene derivatives and their impact on gene expression in human cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of a water-soluble fullerene derivative, C60[C6H4SCH2COOK]5H (F1), on human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELF).

Background/aim: To investigate the association between the rs2267437, rs5751129 and rs132770 polymorphisms of the gene, which plays a role in repairing DNA double-strand breaks, and the risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
Materials And Methods: The study included 150 patients who had been diagnosed with PTC and 204 healthy controls. Genotyping of the SNPs was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).

The gut microbiota alterations interact with the pathogenesis and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Probiotics have received wide attention as a potential management in CKD. We investigated the effects of Lactobacillus paracasei N1115 (LP N1115) on intestinal microbiota and related short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in end stage kidney disease patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) in a single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Objective: To assess the association of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) in recently menopausal women with white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume later in life and determine whether short-term menopausal hormone therapy (mHT) modifies these associations.
Methods: Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS) was a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled 4-year mHT trial (oral conjugated equine estrogens or transdermal 17β-estradiol). KEEPS continuation was an observational follow-up of the participants 10 years after the end of mHT.
