Abstract We investigate the bound orbits of a test timelike particle around the Schwarzschild spacetime with one-loop quantum correction in this work. After obtaining the marginally bound orbit and innermost stable circular orbit numerically, we find that both of their radii decrease with the rescal...

Abstract Loss or downregulation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules represents a key mechanism by which tumours escape immune recognition and acquire resistance to immunotherapeutic interventions. This review focuses on the central regulatory pathways. These includes transcriptional...

Coastal areas are preferred for nuclear power plants due to the availability of seawater for cooling. However, siting also requires evaluating radiation doses to the environment and public during normal operation and potential accidents. This study examines how thermal differences and coastal meteor...

Currently, there are two major theories regarding the pathogenesis of sepsis: hyperimmune and hypoimmune. The hyperimmune theory suggests that a cytokine storm causes the symptoms of sepsis. On the contrary, the hypoimmune theory suggests that immunosuppression causes the manifestations of sepsis. B...

The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has a detrimental impact on public health. COVID-19 usually manifests as pneumonia, which can progress into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) related to uncontrolled TH17 immune reaction. Currently, there is no effective therapeutic ag...

Background/Aims : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a proton density fat fraction (PDFF) sequence is the most accurate, noninvasive method for assessing hepatic steatosis. However, manual measurement on the PDFF map is time-consuming. This study aimed to validate automated whole-liver fat quanti...

Effective annotation of in vivo drug metabolites using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS) remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a metabolic reaction-based molecular networking (MRMN) strategy is introduced, which enables the “one-pot” discovery of prototype drugs and their metabolites...

Most Rhododendron species are ornamental flowering species widely distributed in Asia, North America, and West Europe. Rhododendron fortunei, one of the endemic Rhododendron species in China, has beautiful flowers with bright colors and is being exploited to meet the needs of the flower market. Poly...

This study revealed that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-facilitated ciprofloxacin therapy effectively protected the kidney parenchyma and functional integrity against acute pyelonephritis damage in rodents. In vitro studies revealed that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived media sig...

Abstract Background Metastasis of medulloblastomas (MBs) is difficult to treat and remains the primary cause of death in children with this brain tumor. Current treatment focuses on radiotherapy to limit metastatic recurrence and maintain survival, but this may cause long-term neurocognitive deficit...

ABSTRACT Background While multidomain interventions show promise for promoting healthy aging, their impact on brain structure remains unclear. This randomized controlled trial (ENHANCE) assessed the efficacy of a 12‐month group‐based multidomain intervention on brain structure and function in commun...
