Photocatalytic Scaffold Hopping of Cyclobutanols to Cyclopentanols via Single-Carbon Insertion into C–C σ-Bonds

Abstract A method for skeletal editing of C–C σ-bonds in strained alicycles via single-carbon insertion is reported. This skeletal editing method for cyclobutanols differs from well-established semipinacol rearrangement pathways, offering an efficient route to cyclopentanols by d...

The application potential of enzyme − induced calcium carbonate precipitation (EICP) in civil engineering: a systematic review

Enzyme-Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (EICP) uses free or extracted enzymes to promote CaCO3 precipitation. The absence of intact microbial cells can reduce cell-related clogging and may improve access to fine pores in some materials. EICP therefore has potential for sea...

Triglyceride-Glucose Index and 10-Year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk: Associations of Obesity-Related Indices in Two Nationally Representative Populations

BACKGROUND: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. However, the associations of TyG-related indices combined with obesity measures, including body mass index, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height rat...

Linking AI-oriented leadership to teachers’ professional learning: the mediating role of teacher–AI collaboration and self-efficacy through a hybrid SEM–ANN approach

Purpose Previous research has not explored the association between AI-oriented leadership and teachers’ professional learning. This study investigates the relationship between AI-oriented leadership and teachers’ professional learning, revealing the mediating roles of teacher–AI...

Theoretical and numerical study of end-plate thickness design for extended stiffened moment connections with wide bolt layouts: A mechanically consistent yield-line formulation

Extended stiffened end-plate moment connections with wide (four-bolt-wide) bolt layouts are increasingly used in steel structural systems, including CFST composite frames, yet their end-plate thickness design is not explicitly addressed by current provisions such as ANSI/AISC 358...

DC-CD8+ T cell-associated inflammation and sustained indel-derived candidate peptide exposure in radiation enteritis

Purpose Radiation enteritis (RE) is a frequent and challenging complication of radiotherapy for abdominal and pelvic malignancies, characterized by intestinal epithelial damage, immune dysregulation, and inflammation. Current treatments are limited by poor efficacy and significan...

Oral vaccine delivery systems: Gastrointestinal barriers, gut microbiota, and emerging engineering strategies

Oral vaccines present significant advantages, including ease of administration, high patient compliance, and the ability to elicit both mucosal and systemic immunity. However, their clinical translation faces challenges such as gastrointestinal barriers, immune tolerance, and ind...

Fairness-Aware Opinion Seeding in Undirected Signed Friedkin–Johnsen Networks

Opinion-maximization methods often optimize an aggregate network response and may therefore distribute target-aligned intervention gains unevenly across groups. This issue is especially important in signed networks, where cooperative and antagonistic relations can make the same p...

Machine-Learning-Driven Performance Optimization of Nano-Modified Construction Materials: A Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Review

Nanomaterials improve the fresh-state behavior, mechanical performance, durability, and multifunctionality of construction materials through packing and filling, nucleation, interfacial regulation, crack bridging, transport-barrier effects, and functional responses. These benefit...

WorldCuP: A database of checklists documenting the World's Cultivated Plants and their distributions

Societal Impact Statement Human life would be unrecognizable without the benefits of cultivated plants, including crops, ornamentals, or plants with other uses. Despite their importance in daily life and prevalence across landscapes, we know surprisingly little about global culti...

Laparoscopic one-stage operation for completely perforated choledochal cyst: two cases report and review of the literature

Choledochal cyst (CDC) perforation is a rare but serious complication, and the optimal surgical strategy remains controversial. To our knowledge, no case of laparoscopic one-stage surgery for a completely perforated CDC with a perforation time exceeding 24 h has been reported. We...

Regulation of Ta element on the B2+γ like pearlitic microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-46Al-2Cr-0.3Si alloy

The β/B2 phase is recognized to impair the room temperature plasticity of TiAl alloys. To address this problem, a novel B2+γ like pearlitic microstructure (LPM) has been proposed to enhance performance. In this work, Ti-46Al-2Cr-0.3Si- x Ta ( x = 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 at.%) alloys...

Hollow carbon nanospheres confining Te-doped MoS2 with anionic vacancies: A synergistic design for efficient sodium storage

The pursuit of high-performance anode materials with exceptional cycling stability and high rate capability is critical for the advancement of sodium-ion batteries and hybrid capacitors. Herein, a core-shell composite of Te-doped MoS 2 nanosheets enclosed in hollow porous carbon...

miR-205-3p induces pyroptosis in triple-negative breast cancer by targeting HSP90AB1 and antagonizing MELK

Pyroptosis, a form of inflammatory programmed cell death, has emerged as a significant pathway in cancer biology, yet its regulatory mechanisms in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remain incompletely understood. Integrated bioinformatics analysis of GEO datasets identified ke...

Macrophage-mimetic liposomal nanovesicles deliver CXCR2 antagonists to suppress CXCL2-driven breast cancer and atherosclerotic progression

The coexistence of breast cancer (BC) and atherosclerosis (AS) is increasingly recognized as an inflammation-driven comorbidity. This study identifies the CXCL2–CXCR2 signaling axis as a pivotal mechanistic link underlying both diseases and introduces a macrophage-mimetic nanopla...

Hypertension knowledge, medication adherence, and BP control in community-dwelling hypertensive older adults: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Hypertension affects 31.6% of Chinese adults, yet medication nonadherence (30-50%) remains a critical barrier to control. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between hypertension knowledge, medication adherence, and lifestyle factors, and...
