P1.073. The Evaluative Value of Quality of Life in Neoadjuvant Treatment for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Adjuvant and Neo-Adjuvant Therapies Background While neoadjuvant therapy contribute to tumor downstaging and improves resectability rates, effective tools for predicting treatment response remain limited. This study investigated quality of life b...

Benzo[a]pyrene-induced METTL3 overexpression accelerates renal cell carcinoma progression via m6A modification of LTB4R mRNA and enhanced Treg infiltration

Benzo[ a ]pyrene (BaP) is a widespread environmental pollutant and a representative polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with well-established carcinogenic properties. However, the molecular mechanisms through which BaP promotes renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression, particularly tho...

Motor imagery enhances swallowing motor cortex excitability and activates sensorimotor regions: a TMS and fNIRS study

Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) represent promising, non-invasive strategies for promoting neuroplasticity in motor rehabilitation by engaging the shared neural substrates of actual movement. However, their translation to swallowing rehabilitation, particularly for...

Severe abdominal aortic calcification is associated with poor two‑year outcomes after posterior lumbar interbody fusion in osteoporotic patients: a retrospective cohort study

To investigate whether preoperative abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) severity assessed on lateral lumbar radiographs is associated with 2year clinical and radiographic outcomes in osteoporotic patients who have undergone posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) for the treatm...

Palliative care knowledge and attitudes toward end-of-life care among clinical nurses across healthcare settings in Guangzhou, China: a cross-sectional study

Despite growing global recognition of palliative care’s importance, access to adequately trained professionals and high-quality services remains highly unequal across countries. Nurses’ knowledge and attitudes are critical determinants of end-of-life care quality, yet evidence fr...

YAP delactylation enhances therapy resistance in renal cell carcinoma

Abstract Lactylation is a novel lysine acylation modification, and its function and exact mechanisms remain unclear. The responsiveness to combined targeted and immunotherapy continues to be a major challenge in cancer treatment. Here, we discovered that lysine lactylation (Kla)...

Correlation between clinical communication competence and transition shock among new nurses: a cross-sectional study

New nurses face severe transition shock when entering clinical practice. Clinical communication competence is one of the essential competencies for clinical nurses and is crucial to the quality of nursing care. However, this competence is affected by various factors, and relevant...

Pseudocapacitive Charge‐Driven Adhesive‐Electrocoupling Hydrogels for Myocardial Infarction Repair via Interstitial Microenvironment Remodeling

ABSTRACT Myocardial infarction (MI) creates a hostile microenvironment characterized by oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and electrical conduction block, posing a multifaceted challenge for tissue repair. To address this, we developed a multifunctional hydrogel (Gel‐PDZC...

Genomic insights into replicons and conjugative transfer systems of blaNDM-positive plasmids in the Enterobacter cloacae complex

The Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) represents a prominent opportunistic pathogen associated with multidrug-resistant nosocomial infections. The emergence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing ECC isolates presents a significant threat to public health, owing to the...

Tumor-targeted nanobubbles delivering PFP/siFGFR1 for US imaging and overcoming enzalutamide-resistant in prostate cancer

Enzalutamide (ENZ) resistance has emerged as a critical therapeutic hurdle in advanced prostate cancer (PCa) management. This study aims to investigate the potential of ultrasound-guided nanobubble-mediated co-delivery of small interfering RNA targeting fibroblast growth factor r...
