Carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is a pathological condition where an abnormal connection forms between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. This condition can lead to a variety of ocular and neurological symptoms, often making it difficult to diagnose, especially when patients present with co...

BackgroundAsthma poses a significant global health challenge, representing a chronic respiratory disorder marked by airway inflammation. The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) served as a comprehensive index to assess inflammation. However, few studies have investigated the association be...

Childhood trauma encompasses various subtypes, and evidence suggests that neurodevelopmental damage differs across these subtypes. However, the specific impact of childhood emotional neglect (CEN), a distinct subtype of childhood trauma, on the microstructural integrity of brain white matter remains...

BackgroundOcclusion of the artery of Percheron (AOP), a rare variant of the paramedian thalamic artery, leads to bilateral paramedian thalamic infarction with or without midbrain involvement. AOP following surgical clipping of anterior circulation aneurysms has not been documented in the literature....

With the continuous improvement in technology, the construction industry is constantly advancing. Traditional concrete can no longer meet modern market demands, making research on new types of concrete imperative. This study reviews the application of common nanomaterials in concrete and their impac...

The seismic design of underground or aboveground structures is commonly based on the free-field assumption, which neglects the interaction between underground structures–soil–aboveground structures (USSI). This simplification may lead to unsafe or overly conservative, cost-intensive designs. To addr...

Driven by the urgent need to mitigate climate change and achieve net-zero emissions, carbon pricing has emerged as a critical policy tool in major economies worldwide. This study compares carbon pricing in the EU, China, Canada, and Singapore, evaluating effectiveness in emission reductions, with th...

In electrical discharge machining (EDM), different area of the tool electrode had different wear rate when it prepared by the different materials. Based on this characteristic, this paper used Sn-coated Cu foils to fabricated the CuSn functional gradient electrode (CuSn-FG electrode). Through electr...

Understanding the gas seepage characteristics within fractured rock masses is of great significance for the prediction and prevention of hazardous gases in underground engineering. The formation is actually under a triaxial non-uniform stress state as a result of geological tectonic forces. Few stud...

Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (SEZ) is an important zoonotic agent. Here, a virulence-attenuated strain M35246 derived from natural variation of wild-type SEZ ATCC35246 was found. M35246 showed a deletion of 25 contiguous genes as well as a loss-of-function mutation in covS. Subsequently,...

BackgroundProstate cancer (PCa), a highly heterogeneous cancer with a complex molecular pathogenesis, is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among men globally. The present study presents a lipid metabolism-based risk model for PCa and explores the role of succinyl-CoA ligase GDP-forming sub...

Aberrant ubiquitination drives hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, yet the role of FBXO10—a key F-box E3 ubiquitin ligase component—remains uncharacterized. Through bioinformatics analyses and functional validation, we establish FBXO10 as a critical oncogenic driver in HCC. Transcriptomic da...

This study investigated the effectiveness of a composite phosphate corrosion inhibitor in enhancing water quality stability in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs), guided by practical engineering needs. Through simulated pipelines and community-scale field experiments, the effects of a corro...

The multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is a common generalist predator in China and is occasionally found gathering on the Chinese pagoda tree, Sophora japonica, in summer. In a field investigation, we found that H. axyridis adults preferred S. japonica du...

Study region: Source Region of Yellow River, China Study focus: Studies on the impacts of permafrost degradation on the hydrological cycle in cold regions using stable isotope tracing are relatively scarce. In this study, we investigated the spatiotemporal supply patterns and mechanisms of runoff in...

IntroductionThe ability to acquire iron and maintain iron homeostasis is crucial for the virulence of the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. This study investigates the role of Bud32, a core virulence kinase and component of the KEOPS complex, within the iron regulatory network of C. n...
