Cooperative Dual‐Directional π – π Stacking in Self‐Assembled Monolayers for High‐Performance Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

ABSTRACT The evolution from monomeric to dimeric self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) opens new opportunities for inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs), yet stronger π – π interactions in these larger architectures risk inducing aggregation over ordered assembly, making it challengi...

Association between coffee consumption and oral and pharyngeal cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Oral and pharyngeal cancers are major contributors to global cancer-related morbidity and mortality, particularly in regions with high prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and chewing-related exposures. Caffeine-containing beverages such as coffee and tea may influence carcinogenesis...

Sitagliptin for Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease Prevention in Alternative Donor Transplantation: A Randomized Phase III Trial

PURPOSE This trial evaluated whether the addition of sitagliptin to antithymocyte globulin (ATG)–based prophylaxis reduces the incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after alternative donor hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. METHODS This prospective, multicent...

Capital Flight and Regional Divergence in a Spatial Model of Financial Contagion

ABSTRACT This paper investigates a reaction–diffusion–chemotaxis model describing the interaction between financial instability and spatial economic differentiation. The model incorporates a herding mechanism that amplifies speculative behavior and a chemotactic flux representing...

Active-passive hybrid broadband vibration control based on maple-leaf-inspired biomimetic structures

Broadband vibration control remains a critical challenge in lightweight structural design. This study proposes a bio-inspired integrated approach combining a maple-leaf-inspired laminated structure with active-passive hybrid control to achieve effective vibration suppression acro...

Performance study of a DC electronic voltage transformer with passive temperature error correction capability

Purpose This study aims to address the temperature-dependent error of the primary voltage divider (PVD) in direct current electronic voltage transformers (DC-EVT). Taking full advantage of the superior properties of optical fiber sensors such as passivity, light weight and excell...

Association Between Air Pollution and Psoriasis-Related Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Skin diseases are a group of consequences due to exposure to air pollution that have received less attention. Among these diseases, the relationships between short-term and long-term exposure to air pollutants and psoriasis remain uncertain. The present systematic review and meta...

Incidence, prevalence and outcomes of neonatal sepsis: a population-based cohort study of hospitalized neonates in Huai’an, China

Background This study aims to estimate the incidence, prevalence of morbidity and mortality rate (MR), associated risks, and the applicability of neonatal sequential organ failure assessment (nSOFA), of neonatal sepsis from a database of all hospitalized infants in a representati...

Effect of phenylephrine versus ephedrine on the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac and non-neurosurgical procedures: protocol for a multicentre, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial

BACKGROUND: Whether ephedrine, when used to maintain intraoperative blood pressure, is superior to phenylephrine in reducing postoperative delirium remains uncertain. This study aims to determine whether the intraoperative management of hypotension with ephedrine, compared with p...

Breaking the Lipid Bottleneck: A Mitophagy‐Driven Nanoregulator Amplifies Ferroptosis for Colorectal Cancer Immunotherapy

ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy is severely constrained by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). This study presents a TME‐responsive nanometabolic regulator, ZnO 2 @Fe@HA (ZFH), designed to bridge mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid reprogramming, and ferropt...

Surgical outcomes and prognostic factors in elderly Chinese patients with valvular heart disease: a multi-center retrospective cohort study

Abstract Objective To investigate surgical outcomes and prognostic factors in elderly patients (≥ 60 years) with valvular heart disease (VHD) undergoing surgery, and to provide evidence for optimizing clinical decision-making. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 347...

Insight impairment mediates the effect of SOX2-OT polymorphism on antipsychotic response in first-episode schizophrenia

Insight impairment is a core clinical feature of schizophrenia that predicts poor treatment adherence and unfavorable prognosis. Genetic factors have been increasingly recognized as a likely basis for inter-individual variability in insight; however, direct evidence for a complet...

Rota–Baxter Operators and Systems on Hom-π-Algebras: Constructions, Derivation Chains, and Structural Equivalence

(1) Background: Hom-type algebras, proposed by Yau, generalize classical algebras via twisting maps. Dendriform and tridendriform algebras, introduced by Loday and Vallette, decompose associative multiplications and play significant roles in algebraic K-theory and operad theory....

Factors associated with 30-day unplanned readmission after first-ever ischemic stroke: a retrospective cohort study in China

Unplanned readmission is an important post-stroke outcome, but clinically detailed data from Chinese cohorts remain limited. We evaluated the frequency of 30-day unplanned readmission after first-ever ischemic stroke and examined clinical factors associated with this outcome. We...

Firmness Variation in Tomato Fruit: Driving Factors, Signaling Regulation, and Genetic Basis

Fruit firmness is a pivotal agronomic and commercial trait that determines the storability, transport tolerance and edible quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Fruit softening severely restricts postharvest performance and economic benefits of tomato products worldwide. T...

Hydraulic Mechanism and Flow Pattern Optimization of Special Orthogonal Lateral-Intake Pumping Stations in Coastal Hydraulic Hubs

Special orthogonal lateral-intake pumping stations on coastal plains face severe lateral deflection and recirculation in the approach channel and forebay. Their underlying evolutionary mechanisms remain unclear, and conventional rectification methods cause substantial hydraulic l...

Preoperative triglyceride–glucose index and 30-day surgical site infection in OSCC patients without documented diabetes: a retrospective cohort study

Surgical site infection (SSI) remains an important complication after oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) surgery. Although diabetes is a recognized infection risk factor, metabolic vulnerability in patients without documented diabetes is less understood. The triglyceride–glucose...
