Ent-7β-hydroxy-15-oxokaur-16-en-18-yl acetate suppresses RANKL-induced and LPS-enhanced osteoclastogenesis through NF-κB/MAPK signaling with involvement of the ACE–AT1R axis

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder characterized by excessive osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, which is exacerbated by inflammatory and oxidative stress-associated signaling pathways. Although anti-resorptive drugs are used to prevent excessive bone resorption, their l...

A lightweight pose-guided fusion approach for accurate safety helmet compliance monitoring on edge devices

This paper presents an AI framework employing automated visual analysis to verify personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance in complex construction and industrial settings. Within the framework of engineering automation, robust semantic modeling of worker safety configuratio...

Effects of morning versus evening high-intensity exercise on electroencephalographic and autonomic responses in middle-aged women

[Purpose] The time of day at which exercise is performed influences physiological responses and performance, and thus its health benefits. This study investigated whether electroencephalographic (EEG) and autonomic nervous system responses to morning versus evening exercise diffe...

meth-SemiCancer2: a cancer subtyping framework leveraging domain adaptation with contrastive learning for batch effect correction in DNA methylation profiles

Cancer subtyping is essential for precision oncology, enabling early diagnosis, targeted therapy, and improved prognosis. DNA methylation is a powerful molecular marker for subtype classification, but its application is hindered by high dimensionality, batch effects, and the scar...

Solvent‐Free Synthesis of Ultrabright Carbon Dots With Near‐Unity Quantum Yield for High‐Performance Light‐Emitting Diodes

ABSTRACT Conventional liquid‐phase syntheses of carbon dots (CDs) often involve complex solvent‐precursor interactions that induce structural and spectral heterogeneities, severely limiting their optoelectronic performance. Herein, we report a highly controlled, solvent‐free, sin...

Dual Effects of β‐TrCP2 Deletion in Bone Homeostasis: Suppression of Osteoclastogenesis and Enhancement of Osteoblast Activity

OBJECTIVES: To elucidate role of beta-transducin repeat-containing protein 2 (β-TrCP2) in bone homeostasis for its potential as a therapeutic target for osteoporosis. METHODS: ) mice. Bone microarchitecture was assessed by micro-computed tomography, and osteoclast and osteoblast...

Suppression of electrical crosstalk in 6047 pixel-per-inch ultrahigh-resolution white tandem organic light-emitting diodes on silicon via a trench structure

Abstract Interpixel electrical crosstalk caused by lateral leakage current remains a key challenge in high-resolution organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) displays, leading to severe color distortion in full-color panels. In this study, a trench structure incorporated into a 604...

A Hybrid Magnetic Actuation System for Single‐Input Multistates Stabilization: Application to pH‐Responsive Drug Delivery

Targeted drug delivery requires precise carrier navigation and controlled payload release. We present an integrated robotic platform that combines a hybrid magnetic array with a pH‐responsive soft hydrogel. The array achieves single‐input, multistate stabilization: one current in...

Meniscus‐Guided Soft‐Lithographic Assembly of Grid‐Type Molecular Martensite Films for Single‐Crystal‐Like Actuation

ABSTRACT Dynamic molecular martensites exhibit large, reversible deformations and high force densities. However, device integration has been limited by the brittleness and poor formability of single crystals. Here, we report a thin‐film route that translates molecular cooperativi...

Through Agency or Alliance? A Multilevel Mediation Study on the Indirect Effects of Outcome Expectations on Symptom Improvement

ABSTRACT This study investigated the impact of client outcome expectations on symptom improvement and evaluated the underlying mediating roles of therapeutic agency and working alliance. Data were collected from 73 clients across 12 sessions and analyzed using a multilevel lagged...

Uncertainty-Aware Adaptive Edge Blocking in Heterophilic Graph Neural Networks

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) deliver strong performance through message passing (MP), yet they can become fragile when graphs contain many heterophilic links or when edge types are predicted incorrectly. Earlier analyses suggest that signed message propagation can reduce over-smo...

The Therapeutic Agency Inventory: Translation and Preliminary Validation in a Korean Sample

ABSTRACT Objectives Therapeutic agency refers to the client's perception of oneself as a proactive agent of change. This study aimed to translate and validate the Therapeutic Agency Inventory (TAI) in a Korean sample. Method Two independent samples ( N = 330 and 339, respectively...

Association between vitamin D deficiency and psychological distress in Korean adults: a population-based cross-sectional study

Purpose: Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in Korea, but evidence on its association with psychological distress remains limited. This study examined the association between vitamin D levels and psychological distress, depression, and anxiety, among Korean adults.Methods: This cr...
