Article Abstract
This study examined the e-cigarette and vaping resistance strategies used by Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) youths in rural Hawai'i. Focus groups (N = 17) were conducted in eight geographically dispersed elementary, middle/intermediate, and multilevel schools in low-income communities on Hawai'i Island. Sixty-nine youths (67% NHPI, Mage = 12.5 years) participated in this study. The resistance strategies discussed across the greatest number of groups were "refuse" (saying no), "explain" (providing reasons for vaping refusal), "avoid" (avoiding people or places where e-cigarettes were used), and "leave" (walking away from a situation where e-cigarettes were being used). Participants described the challenges in using these strategies within contexts characterized by widespread peer and family vaping and strong social demands to use e-cigarettes. The findings suggest the need for multi-level interventions based on youths' resistance strategies to meaningfully reduce youth vaping use in rural and/or NHPI communities.

Novel strategy for comprehensive therapy with sustainably complete response in a patient with limited-stage small cell lung cancer: a case report.
J Int Med Res

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine tumor with the poorest prognosis among all types of lung cancer. Developing an effective comprehensive strategy remains a key focus. We herein present the first documented case of a 68-year-old man with limited-stage SCLC who has maintained a complete response (CR) for over 30 months to date.

Induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants to control bacterial diseases has become an effective solution to the problems of agrochemical resistance and ecological environment damage caused by long-term and large-scale use of traditional bactericides. However, current SAR-inducing compounds are often unable to rapidly eliminate pathogenic bacteria in infected plant tissues to prevent further spread of the disease, severely restraining the potential for extensive application in agriculture. Herein, we address the limitations by developing a series of visible-light-absorbing aggregation-induced emission photosensitizers suitable for agricultural use.

Doped semiconductors are often used to improve photocatalytic efficiency and address the challenges of easy recombination of electron-hole pairs and poor photoluminescence. However, the reproducibility and complexity of experimental studies result in time-consuming and less cost-effective studies, and it is difficult to gain insights into the intrinsic properties of doped photocatalysts to control their performance. Introducing a machine learning approach, we constructed a photocatalytic model of transition-metal- and rare earth metal-ion-doped γ-BiMoO.

Stingless bee honey is a natural product consisting of sugars, organic acids, proteins, minerals, vitamins, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids. Due to its healing properties, honey is often used in phytotherapy and for homemade syrups. The search for natural therapeutic alternatives has been an increasing trend in recent years, mainly due to the side effects of artificial drugs and increasing antibiotic resistance.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a significant global health challenge with limited treatment options. Lenvatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown promise but is often undermined by the development of drug resistance.
Methods: Utilizing high-throughput sequencing, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying lenvatinib resistance in HCC cells, with a focus on metabolic pathways.
