A phenomenon of superspiralization was revealed in homochiral solutions of biomimetics with strings lengths from 10(2) nm to 10(2) μ and longer: strings of greater size spontaneously formed in solution are twined of the smaller strings, which also have a helical structure. The chiral pitch depends on the conditions of formation of a particular string and can vary by several times in different strings of the same specimen.

Parental Technoference and Child Problematic Media Use: Meta-Analysis.

J Med Internet Res

January 2025

Shanghai Institute of Early Childhood Education, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai, China.

Background: Parental technoference, the interruption of parent-child interactions by technology, has been associated with negative outcomes in children's media use. However, the magnitude of this relationship and its moderating factors remain unclear.

Objective: This study aims to systematically examine the relationship between parental technoference and child problematic media use, as well as to identify moderating factors such as age, parental technoference group, study design, and type of problematic media use.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the underlying causes, diagnostic strategies, and treatment approaches of trauma-induced invasive syndrome (KPIS) through a rare case report. By highlighting the role of trauma as a potential trigger for KPIS, particularly in high-risk populations such as individuals with diabetes, this study seeks to provide valuable insights for improving clinical outcomes and promoting public health awareness.

Background: invasive syndrome is a multi-organ infectious disease commonly associated with complications such as liver abscess, lung abscess, endophthalmitis, and purulent meningitis, with high mortality and disability rates.

Background: Nucleolar protein 7 (NOL7), a specific protein found in the nucleolus, is crucial for maintaining cell division and proliferation. While the involvement of NOL7 in influencing the unfavorable prognosis of metastatic melanoma has been reported, its significance in predicting the prognosis of patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear.

Methods: Aberrant expression of NOL7 in HCC and its prognostic value were evaluated using multiple databases, including TCGA, GTEx, Xiantao Academic, HCCDB, UALCAN, TISCH, and STRING.

Onco Targets Ther

January 2025

Affiliated Yongkang First People's Hospital and School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, People's Republic of China.

Background: TiaoShenGongJian (TSGJ) decoction, a traditional Chinese medicine for breast cancer, has unknown active compounds, targets, and mechanisms. This study identifies TSGJ's key targets and compounds for breast cancer treatment through network pharmacology, machine learning, and experimental validation.

Methods: Bioactive components and targets of TSGJ were identified from the TCMSP database, and breast cancer-related targets from GeneCards, PharmGkb, and RNA-seq datasets.
