Abstract Background: Bullying during adolescence is shaped by numerous psychosocial factors such as family dynamics, attachment, and peer relationships. This study aims to examine parental acceptance-rejection, attachment styles, and social exclusion factors as key psychosocial variables predicting bullying behavior in adolescents. Methods: In a cross-sectional study conducted with 349 high school students in Hakkari, Türkiye. Data were collected using the Olweus Bullying Scale, the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Scale, the Social Exclusion Scale, and the Three-Dimensional Attachment Styles Scale.

Abstract Mobile service robots (MSRs) in hospital environments require precise and robust trajectory tracking to ensure reliable operation under dynamic conditions, including model uncertainties and external disturbances. This study presents a cognitive control strategy that integrates a Numerical Feedforward Inverse Dynamic Controller (NFIDC) with a Feedback Radial Basis Function Neural Network (FRBFNN). The robot’s mechanical structure was designed in SolidWorks 2022 SP2.0 and validated under operational loads using finite element analysis in ANSYS 2022 R1. The NFIDC-FRBFNN framework merges proactive inverse dynamic compensation with adaptive neural learning to achieve smooth torque responses and accurate motion control.… More >

Abstract Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection and heavy alcohol consumption are the two primary pathogenic causes of liver cirrhosis. In this paper, we proposed a deterministic mathematical model and a logistic equation to investigate the dynamics of liver cirrhosis progression as well as to explain the implications of variations in alcohol consumption on chronic hepatitis B patients, respectively. The intricate interactions between liver cirrhosis, recovery, and treatment dynamics are captured by the model. This study aims to show that alcohol consumption by Hepatitis B-infected individuals accelerates liver cirrhosis progression while treatment of acutely infected individuals reduces… More >

Abstract Objectives: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major global health concern, and Phosphoinositide-3-Kinase Regulatory Subunit 1 (PIK3R1), a regulatory subunit of the PI3K signaling pathway, may play a critical yet underexplored role in GC progression. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of PIK3R1 in GC and its association with the tumor immune microenvironment. Methods: PIK3R1 expression and its clinical relevance were analyzed using datasets from GC patients who underwent gastrectomy, including cohorts from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC). Prognostic models integrating PIK3R1 expression with clinical parameters… More >

Abstract Objectives: Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women, largely due to metastasis. This study aims to explore the role of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), a key enzyme in purine metabolism, in the aggressiveness and metastatic behavior of BC. Methods: A comprehensive analysis was performed using in silico transcriptomic data (n = 2509 patients), immunohistochemical profiling of BC tissues (n = 103), and validation through western blotting in multiple BC cell lines. Gene expression and survival analyses were conducted using Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER), Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2 (GEPIA2), and… More >

Abstract Background: Recent studies have shown glycerolipid metabolism played an essential role in multiple tumors, however, its function in osteosarcoma is unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of glycerolipid metabolism in osteosarcoma. Methods: We conducted bioinformatics analysis using data from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) database and single-cell RNA sequencing. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was used to identify the Glycerolipid metabolism-related genes associated with the clinical outcome of osteosarcoma. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and their interactions with immune cells were examined through single-cell analysis and co-culture experiments.… More >

Abstract Aiming at the problem of potential information noise introduced during the generation of ghost feature maps in GhostNet, this paper proposes a novel lightweight neural network model called ResghostNet. This model constructs the Resghost Module by combining residual connections and Adaptive-SE Blocks, which enhances the quality of generated feature maps through direct propagation of original input information and selection of important channels before cheap operations. Specifically, ResghostNet introduces residual connections on the basis of the Ghost Module to optimize the information flow, and designs a weight self-attention mechanism combined with SE blocks to enhance feature More >

Abstract The fabrication of highly flame-retardant polyamide 6 (PA6) composites is of great significance for expanding their practical applications. Herein, a new flame-retardant system (ADP/FA) was developed by combining aluminum diethylphosphinate (ADP) with excellent flame retardancy and fly ash (FA), an economical and environmentally friendly industrial waste. Due to the synergistic flame-retardant effect of ADP/FA in the condensed phase and gas phase, the PA6 composite containing only 11 wt% of ADP/FA (mass ratio 93:7) obtained vertical burning (UL-94) tests V-0 rating with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 30.9%. To obtain the same flame-retardant level of… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Background: Psychosocial functioning and quality of life (QoL) are strongly associated with outcomes in pediatric heart transplant recipients. The data in pediatric transplantation, however, is limited. This study aims to investigate the associations of perioperative anxiety and depression with postoperative complications, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Methods: This observational, analytical, longitudinal study included 42 pediatric participants aged 8 to 16 years old. Preoperative psychological assessments were completed by 36 children, the remaining 6 were unable to participate due to invasive ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and physical debilitation. Postoperatively, all 42 subjects completed the psychosocial evaluations. Data… More >

Abstract Objectives: Gastric cancer (GC) is often associated with high invasiveness, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), highlighting the need for novel therapeutic targets. This study explored whether diallyl disulfide (DADS) upregulates retinoic acid-related orphan receptor alpha (ROR) to weaken the protein kinase C alpha (PKC)/RORα-mediated RORα/β-catenin pathway, thereby inhibiting GC cell invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and enhancing 5-FU sensitivity. Methods: Human GC cell lines MGC-803 and SGC7901 were treated with DADS, RORα agonist SR1078/antagonist T0901317, and PKCα agonist TPA/antagonist GO6976. Cell proliferation (MTT), migration (scratch assay), invasion (Transwell), protein expression (Western blot), protein… More >
