Background: Previous studies have suggested that there are distinct correlations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and its metabolites with the risk of developing health conditions and cancer; however, the precise nature of these associations in patients with oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is unknown. O...

Outlier mining constitutes an essential aspect of modern data analytics, focusing on the identification and interpretation of anomalous observations. Conventional density-based local outlier detection methodologies frequently exhibit limitations due to their inherent lack of data preprocessing capab...

Let $\mathcal {D}$ be a Hom-finite, Krull-Schmidt, 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category with a rigid object R. Let $\Lambda =\operatorname {End}_{\mathcal {D}}R$ be the endomorphism algebra of R. We introduce the notion of mutation of maximal rigid objects in the two-term subcategory...

The paper examines the application of uncertainty theory to portfolio decision making, specifically focusing on constructing portfolio models based on uncertain preference relations. Firstly, we establish the theoretical foundation by introducing the theory of uncertainty, which includes uncertain m...

Objective: Suicide attempts (SA) are common in elderly patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), but few studies have focused on the prevalence and associated factors in elderly Chinese Han patients with MDD. Method: A total of 266 first episode and drug naïve older patients with MDD (age ≥ 50 ...

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are a very complex protein superfamily that increase insect temperature tolerance. In order to deeply understand the function and role of sHSPs in Chilo suppressalis (Walker), this study isolated and identified two CsHSP genes lacking introns from C. suppressalis, C...

ABSTRACT The selection of initial systemic treatment for advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) depends on histological subtypes, oncogenic driver identification through genomic profiling, and programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) expression quantification. The choice of first‐line treatment is cru...

A new species of the genus Alloperla Banks, 1906 (Plecoptera, Chloroperlidae), Alloperla triquetra Rehman, Huo &amp;amp; Du, sp. nov., is described from Liaoning Province, China, with diagnostic features and color images of the adult habitus included. The terminalia of the new species are compar...

Objective To investigate the correlation between systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) values and the risk of arthritis among adult participants. Methods Cross-sectional data from adult participants (aged ≥18 years) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2018 dataset were ut...

Staurosporine, which is an inhibitor of a broad spectrum of protein kinases, has shown cytotoxicity on several human cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanism is not well understood. In this study, we examined whether and how this compound has an inhibitory action on phosphatidylinositol 3-kin...

Quantitative assessment of development sustainability could be a challenge to regional management and planning, especially for areas facing great risks of water shortage. Surface-water decline and groundwater over-pumping have caused serious environmental problems and limited economic development in...

Wolbachia are widespread maternally-inherited endosymbiotic bacteria that infect numerous arthropods. This study represents a thorough survey of the Wolbachia infection patterns in the pink stem borer, Sesamia inferens (Walker), an important rice pest in China, based on nucleotide comparisons for th...

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is an acute, highly contagious intestinal disease caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), which has devastating effects on the global swine industry. Currently, no effective therapeutic agents have been identified for treating PEDV infections. Saxifraga...

The measurement-device-independent quantum random number generator (MDI-QRNG) can resist all security loopholes on measurement devices, and it thus seems very promising in practical implementations. In the MDI-QRNG, sources are often assumed to be perfectly prepared, however, there inevitably exist...

Abstract Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Mutant KRAS is a feature of 15–50% of lung cancer cases and represents one of the most prevalent oncogenic drivers in this disease. Unfortunately, although much effort has been spent on searching for small molecule inhibitors...

Previous studies have shown that octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) plays a significant role in early embryonic development of mammalian animals, and different Oct4 expression levels induce multi-lineage differentiation which are regulated by DNA methylation. To explore the relationship b...
