Background

Risk-adapted colorectal cancer (CRC) screening has the potential to balance effectiveness with resource demands, yet evidence comparing it with established methods remains limited. This study aims to compare outcomes of risk-adapted CRC screening with colonoscopy and fecal immunoc...
The gradient monotonicity of existing tumor, node, metastases staging systems for colorectal cancer is unsatisfactory. Our proposed T-plus staging system strengthens weighting of the T stage. In this study, applicability of the T-plus staging system was verified with data of a Chinese colorectal can...
To evaluate the value of lymph node status of primary tumors in predicting the prognosis of synchronous resectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).The characteristics of resectable mCRC are substantially different from other cancers, and the prognostic factors of resectable mCRC are still contro...

Background

Neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) combined with chemoradiotherapy offers high pathologic complete response (pCR) rate for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC). But the dynamic tumor immune microenvironment modulated by such neoadjuva...
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials have garnered considerable attention for their unique properties and potentials in a wide range of fields, which include nano-electronics/optoelectronics, solar energy, and catalysis. Meanwhile, challenges in the approaches toward achieving high-per...
Sesterterpenoids are a very rare class of important natural products. Three new skeletal spiro sesterterpenoids, named orientanoids A-C (1-3), were isolated from Hedyosmum orientale. Their structures were determined by a combination of spectroscopic data, X-ray crystallography, and total synt...

Background

Proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a vital role in the progression of vascular remodeling and hypertension. Apelin-13 promotes VSMC proliferation of normal rats. This study was designed to investigate the roles of apelin receptor (APJ) and apelin-13 in VSM...
15α-OH-D-ethylgonendione (15α-OH-DE) is a key intermediate for the synthesis of steroid drug gestodene, a major component of a new generation of powerful contraceptives. Synthetic access to 15α-OH-DE by chemical means is limited by low titers and generation of toxic byproducts. To develop a sustaina...

Purpose

Sleep disorders are common globally. Probiotics may improve human microbial diversity, offering potential benefits for sleep disturbances by enhancing sleep quality and reducing disorders. We aimed to use a population-based study to investigate the association between yogurt (a probi...

Background

Renal fibrosis with Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation and oxidative stress are one of the major complications in hypertension. 2-phenylacetamide (PA), a major active component of Lepidium apetalum Willd. (L.A), has numerous pharmacological effects. Its analogu...
