AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the incidence of the hotspot mutations c.919-2A>G and c.2168A>G in SLC26A4 in the northwestern Chinese population.
Methods: A total of 2673 unrelated patients were recruited from northwestern China, and clinical information was obtained from all patients. Peripheral blood samples were acquired to detect the genotype of each patient by direct sequencing. Statistical analysis was conducted with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 19.0 software.
Results: Overall, 118 patients (4.4%) were identified with biallelic mutations, including 84 (3.14%) homozygotes and 34 (1.27%) compound heterozygotes. Moreover, significant differences between Han and Uighur were identified regarding the frequencies of c.919-2A>G homozygous and biallelic mutations.
Conclusion: This model for the rapid screening of hotspot mutations can identify the molecular cause for 4.4% of patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in northwestern China, and there may be distinctive hotspot mutations in different ethnic populations.

Photoassisted lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer a promising approach to enhance the catalytic transformation kinetics of polysulfide. However, the development is greatly hindered by inadequate photo absorption and severe photoexcited carriers recombination. Herein, a photonic crystal sulfide heterojunction structure is designed as a bifunctional electrode scaffold for photoassisted Li-S batteries.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) have great potentials in the application of neurodegenerative disease therapy, drug screening, and disease modeling. However, current approaches for induced NSCs (iNSCs) generation from somatic cells are still slow and inefficient. Here we establish a rapid and efficient method of iNSCs generation from human and mouse fibroblasts by single microRNAs (miR-302a).

Lymphoma is a malignant cancer characterized by a rapidly increasing incidence, complex etiology, and lack of obvious early symptoms. Efficient theranostics of lymphoma is of great significance in improving patient outcomes, empowering informed decision-making, and driving medical innovation. Herein, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform for precise optical imaging and therapy of lymphoma based on a new photosensitizer (1-oxo-1-benzoo[de]anthracene-2,3-dicarbonitrile-triphenylamine (OBADC-TPA)).

The worldwide value of the honey bee as an agricultural animal is increasingly being recognized. Not only does the honey bee directly produce useful agricultural products, but also large portions of crops are dependent on the pollination activities of honey bees. (), the native honey bee of China, is widely distributed in the country.

The mechanical properties of music wire are contingent upon its microstructure, which in turn influences its applications in music. Chinese stringed instruments necessitate exacting standards for comprehensive performance indexes, particularly with regard to the strength, resilience, and rigidity of the musical steel wires, which differ from the Western approach to musical wire. In this study, SWP-B music wire was selected for investigation through metal heat treatment, which was employed to regulate its microstructure characteristics.
