Catalytic Conversion of Waste Polyethylene Terephthalate to Terephthalic Acid

Against the backdrop of intensifying global plastic pollution and tightening resource and environmental constraints, the efficient recycling of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has become a critical enabler for realizing a circular plastics economy. This article systematica...

A pH-Responsive Charge-Reversal Nanoplatform for Combined Chemophotothermal Therapy of Oral Cancer

Abstract The global incidence of oral cancer has risen rapidly at progressively younger ages due to the impact of unhealthy lifestyle habits. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel oral cancer treatments. Combination therapy with chemotherapy and photothermal therapy...

AI-assisted telerehabilitation in early Parkinson’s disease: a multicenter, randomized, multi-arm comparative trial

Abstract This exploratory, multicenter, randomized, rater-blinded, multi-arm comparative trial aimed to evaluate the feasibility and exploratory clinical signals of an AI-facilitated telerehabilitation system across different intervention durations in early-stage Parkinson’s dise...

Establishment of stratified reference intervals for serum CA125 using five algorithms based on real-world big data and evaluation of clinical performance

To address the lack of localized validation and precise stratification of reference intervals (RIs), this study used real-world health-checkup big data and five indirect algorithms to establish RIs for serum CA125, evaluated the consistency among the algorithms and their clinical...

Digital health interventions across the cancer control continuum: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials

Given the rising global cancer burden and fragmented evidence on digital health interventions (DHIs), this umbrella review synthesizes evidence on DHIs across the cancer control continuum to inform evidence-based practice. We systematically searched PubMed, Medline (via Ovid), We...

Experiences and self-management practices among hospitalized older adults with oral frailty: a qualitative interview study

To explore oral health experiences and self-management among hospitalized older adults with oral frailty, and to provide evidence to inform the development of targeted intervention strategies. Guided by the theory of health empowerment, a purposive sampling approach was adopted....

The clinicopathological and molecular characterization in ascites-derived paraffin-embedded cell blocks of ovarian cancer

Abstract This study evaluated immunohistochemical (IHC) markers and homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene mutations in 58 ovarian cancer patients using ascites-derived paraffin-embedded cell blocks. IHC analysis revealed high expression of Pax-8 (87.5–100%), WT-1 (87.8–90%),...

Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward osteoporosis among middle-aged and elderly women in northeastern coastal areas of China

Osteoporosis is highly prevalent among postmenopausal and elderly women due to hormonal changes and aging-related bone loss. This study evaluated the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding osteoporosis among middle-aged and elderly women in northeastern coastal China...

Gel Electrolytes for Flexible Zinc‐Air Batteries: Design, Challenges, and Perspectives

ABSTRACT Flexible zinc‐air batteries (FZABs) have emerged as promising candidates for next‐generation flexible electronics and large‐scale energy storage. However, dendrite growth, interfacial side reactions, and electrolyte leakage severely limit their cycle life and energy dens...
