Effect of Nickel Addition on Corrosion Behavior of Laser–Arc Hybrid Welded Al-Mg-Si-Cu Alloy Joints

The corrosion performance of Al-Mg-Si-Cu laser–arc hybrid welded joints modified by 1.8 wt.% Ni remains poorly clarified. In this study, the corrosion behavior was examined via electrochemical measurements combined with SEM, EDS, and SKPFM. Nickel alloying increased the corrosion...

Genome-Wide Superfamily Profiling Reveals Key Regulator LsAP2/ERF10 That Governs Petal Morphology in Lagerstroemia speciosa

Double-flowered cultivars are generally considered more attractive than single-flowered varieties in ornamental plants. The AP2/ERF transcription factors superfamily plays pivotal roles in plant development, including floral organ formation. Here, a total of 248 AP2/ERF genes wer...

Sitravatinib combined with osimertinib overcomes acquired osimertinib resistance in NSCLC by targeting AXL and the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway

The emergence of acquired resistance to osimertinib has emerged as a severe plight in the clinical management of patients with advanced harboring epidermal growth factor receptor mutations non-small cell lung (NSCLC). We comprehensively evaluated sitravatinib, an emerging multita...

Comparative analysis of the CT and MRI features of pancreatic colloid carcinoma

To investigate the CT and MRI features of pancreatic colloid carcinoma (PCC) and to correlate imaging findings with histopathological characteristics. The CT and MRI images and clinical data of 15 patients with PCC confirmed by surgical resection and histopathological examination...

Study on the changes and mechanisms on the quality of beef tripe during tenderization

BACKGROUND: The quality characteristics of salted beef tripe were investigated throughout the multi-stage tenderization process, encompassing cleaning, pre-cooking, alkaline treatment (sodium carbonate), water soaking and final cooking. The underlying tenderization mechanism was...

Effect of postpartum probiotic supplementation on breastmilk composition and infant health: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Breast milk is the optimal infant nutrition, and its composition is influenced by maternal factors including supplement intake. This study aimed to investigate the effects of postpartum probiotic supplementation on breast milk composition and infant health outcomes. This double-b...

Anchoring Performance of FRP Bar Connectors for Alkali-Activated Lightweight Aggregate Concrete Wall Panels in a Wet–Hot Acid Rain Environment

Abstract This study investigated the bond behavior of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer bars (BFRP) and glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars embedded in alkali-activated ceramsite concrete using direct pull-out tests on 150-mm cubic specimens. The tests were conducted under b...

Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticle Delivery of siTRIB3 Inhibits EMT and Stemness in NSCLC

Background: TRIB3 is upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and associates with worse survival, yet targeted therapeutics remain lacking. Calcium phosphate (CaP) nanoparticles offer biocompatible, serum-stable delivery for siRNA therapy. Here, we developed CaP nanopart...

Nomogram for predicting the response of modified electroconvulsive therapy in patients with bipolar depressive episodes: a retrospective cohort study

Depressive episodes are a major manifestation of bipolar disorder, a common mental illness associated with substantial morbidity and premature mortality. Modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) is an effective physical treatment for bipolar depressive episodes. However, the cli...
