High-resolution 3T-MRI with microcoil enhancement for preoperative evaluation of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: a case report and literature review
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common non-melanoma skin cancer with potential for local invasion and metastasis. Accurate preoperative assessment is essential for optimal treatment planning. We report a case of an 83-year-old female patient who presented with a progressively enlarging scalp mass over 3 months. HR-MRI revealed a mixed-signal lesion (22 × 15 × 26 mm) in the right scalp. On T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), the lesion exhibited heterogeneous signals with an irregular, crater-like surface. Post-contrast imaging demonstrated significant heterogeneous enhancement. The tumor was located within the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat, closely adhering to the galea aponeurotica with well-defined margins. Surgical resection and histopathological examination confirmed a (exophytic type) moderately to well-differentiated cSCC (2.8 × 2.3 × 2.0 cm) infiltrating the subcutaneous tissue but without perineural invasion or deeper tissue involvement. HR-MRI provided clear visualization of tumor morphology, infiltration depth, and relationship with surrounding structures. Compared to conventional MRI, HR-MRI improved the accuracy of tumor boundary delineation, offering valuable information for preoperative planning. HR-MRI plays a significant role in the evaluation of cSCC, particularly in assessing tumor infiltration depth and differentiating it from other cutaneous malignancies. Its high-resolution imaging facilitates early detection, precise surgical planning, and improved patient outcomes.
Labor Conflicts in China
Labor conflicts in China can be classified into three types: those over legal rights, over interests, and over the pre-reform entitlements. They have relatively distinguishable bases, claims, framing, and patterns of interaction with the government. The typological classification is useful for understanding the developmental trajectory of labor conflict in China.
Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: Utility of high‐resolution dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI
Background Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a kind of low‐grade malignant spindle cell neoplasm, the diagnosis, and treatment, which have markedly attracted clinicians’ attention for its repeated recurrence. High‐resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR‐MRI) has shown unique capabilities in diagnosis of various cutaneous tumors. Materials and methods Data of 29 patients with clinically suspected DFSPs and undergoing dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) HR‐MRI preoperatively were prospectively collected. The HR‐MRI qualitative features were evaluated and compared. The DCE‐associated quantitative parameters and the time‐signal intensity curve (TIC) types were provided using DCE sequences. Results A total of 7 DFSPs, nine dermatofibromas (DF, including four cases of cellular variant [CDF]), 12 keloids, and one nodular fasciitis were enrolled. DFSP showed the largest major diameter and the deepest depth. Five DFSPs (71.4%) showed ill‐defined margins as well as infiltration of peripheral adipose. All DFSPs showed irregular shape. Most DFSPs presented hyperintensity on T2WI (71.4%) and iso‐intensity on T1WI (85.7%). Six cases (85.7%) had significant enhancement, and six cases (85.7%) had homogeneous enhancement. There were significant differences of Ktrans, Kep, Ve and iAUC values among DFSPs, DFs, and keloids, and DFSP had the highest values for these parameters. Six DFSPs (85.7%) and four CDFs (100%) showed type‐III TICs, while the other lesions showed type‐Ⅰor type‐Ⅱ TICs. Conclusions DCE‐HR‐MRI could show the growth characteristics of DFSPs, which was of great value for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of DFSPs and was helpful for the determination of treatment options, thereby to improve the prognosis of patients.

The Social Making of Authoritarian Environmentalism: Protest-Litigation Nexus and Policy Changes in China
This dissertation examines the following questions: How do environmental contentions—in the forms of disruptive protest and conventional litigation, respectively—shape environmental governance in authoritarian China? When both protest and litigation are present, in what patterns do they interact with each other in environmental contention? It argues that environmental protest and litigation in their divergent forms have different effects on governance. In general, protests are associated with more transparency and policymaking toward broader public participation at local states, dependent on whether policy advocacy efforts are involved in the contentious campaigns. Environmental litigation has been found effective in binding local governments to enforce environmental regulations, which, however, is also a function of court attitudes based on regional diversity. When protest and litigation do interact with each other in the empirical world, the two repertories do not necessarily converge but unfold in multiple patterns, dependent on whether the protest is advocacy-spirited and whether the litigation is public interest oriented. This work emphasizes two previously understudied linkages as the main contributions to the scholarship of environmental authoritarianism, contentious repertoires, and authoritarian rule of law: 1) the protest-advocacy linkage, and 2) the protest-litigation linkage. The first linkage transcends the dichotomy in existing literature between the studies of environmental activism and those of popular resistance. The second linkage develops diverse patterns of interaction between repertories, which the classical scholarship of “repertoires of contention” does not address. Meanwhile, it also strengthens disciplinary engagement between political science and law, which contributes to the growing literature of legal participation in authoritarian regimes.
Targeting orthotopic gliomas with renal-clearable luminescent gold nanoparticles
A major clinical translational challenge in nanomedicine is the potential of toxicity associated with the uptake and long-term retention of non-degradable nanoparticles (NPs) in major organs. The development of inorganic NPs that undergo renal clearance could potentially resolve this significant biosafety concern. However, it remains unclear whether inorganic NPs that can be excreted by the kidneys remain capable of targeting tumors with poor permeability. Glioblastoma multiforme, the most malignant orthotopic brain tumor, presents a unique challenge for NP delivery because of the blood-brain barrier and robust blood-tumor barrier of reactive microglia and macroglia in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we used an orthotopic murine glioma model to investigate the passive targeting of glutathione-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of 3 nm in diameter that undergo renal clearance and 18-nm AuNPs that fail to undergo renal clearance. Remarkably, we report that 3-nm AuNPs were able to target intracranial tumor tissues with higher efficiency (2.3× relative to surrounding non-tumor normal brain tissues) and greater specificity (3.0×) than did the larger AuNPs. Pharmacokinetics studies suggested that the higher glioma targeting ability of the 3-nm AuNPs may be attributed to the longer retention time in circulation. The total accumulation of the 3-nm AuNPs in major organs was significantly less (8.4×) than that of the 18-nm AuNPs. Microscopic imaging of blood vessels and renal-clearable AuNPs showed extravasation of NPs from the leaky blood-tumor barrier into the tumor interstitium. Taken together, our results suggest that the 3-nm AuNPs, characterized by enhanced permeability and retention, are able to target brain tumors and undergo renal clearance.

Modified combined short and long axis method versus oblique axis method in adult patients undergoing right internal jugular vein cannulation: A randomized controlled non-inferiority study
Modified combined short and long axis method (MCSL) can replace oblique axis in-plane method (OA-IP) for internal jugular vein cannulation (IJVC). This randomized, non-inferiority study estimated the efficacy of MCSL compared with OA-IP in right IJVC. Patients (18-75 yr. old) undergoing right IJVC under local anesthesia were randomly assigned to MCSL or OA-IP group. The primary outcome is the event of first needle pass without posterior vessel wall puncture (PVWP). Secondary outcomes included needle attempts, success rate, puncture and cannulation time, needle visualization, probe placement difficulty and complications. Among 190 randomized patients, 187 were involved in the analysis. The first needle pass without PVWP was 85(89.47%) in the MCSL and 81 (85.26%) in the OA-IP (p = 0.382), with a mean rate difference of 4.2% (95% confidence interval: -5.2-13.6), which confirmed the non-inferiority with the margin of -8%. MCSL group exhibited shorter procedure time and lower complications than OA-IP group. No significant differences were discovered between groups in needle attempts, success rate, incidence of probe placement difficulty and needle visualization. MCSL is non-inferior to OA-IP in first needle pass without PVWP in adults who underwent elective right IJVC and associate with less complications and shorter operating time. ChiCTR, ChiCTR2100046899.
An empirical study of the impact of biological information dissemination in social media on public science literacy
In this paper, we first establish a locally converged bioinformatics dataset based on gradient sampling and design an optimal data mining control model to improve the accuracy of bioinformatics big data feature mining. The performance of the Compressive Tracking algorithm and Online Bosting algorithm is compared with the mining error as a test index. At the same time, we propose a social media information dissemination algorithm applicable to large-scale social network datasets, taking the degree value of each node as the node’s full influence and comparing and analyzing the dissemination influence of BP-IM, RAND and MC-CELF algorithms. Finally, taking public health big data as the research object, the least squares regression method was used to analyze the influence of the amount of public attention to bioinformatics scientific knowledge on their scientific literacy in different media. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between scientific literacy and willingness to engage in science participation behavior on social media when the amount of public attention to scientific information was =0225, <0.01. When more people are interested in scientific knowledge of bioinformatics on social media, their scientific literacy will improve.
Modification of cotton fabrics with 2-diethylaminoethyl chloride for salt-free dyeing with anionic dyes
A chemical modification of cotton fabrics by 2-diethylaminoethyl chloride (DEAE-Cl) was achieved, and the resulted cotton fabrics demonstrated salt-free dyeing properties with anionic dyes. Nucleophilic property of hydroxyl groups in cotton cellulose was enhanced under alkaline conditions and could react with DEAE-Cl, a chemical possessing both nucleophilic and electrophilic sites. The monolayered DEAE-grafted cotton cellulose could further react with DEAE-Cl to form multiple cationic quaternary ammonium salts (denoted as DEAE@Cotton), which are highly interactive with anionic dye molecules. The strong electrostatic interactions between the DEAE@Cotton and the dyes eliminated the use of inorganic salts in cotton dyeing process. The chemical structure and property of DEAE@Cotton were characterized and compared with untreated cotton. The DEAE@Cotton can be dyed in a salt-free system, and the dye exhaustion was faster than the conventional dyeing method due to the robust electrostatic interactions of the fabrics with anionic dyes. The dyed fabrics demonstrated outstanding color fastness under repeated washing, light exposure, and crocking. The dye adsorption process on DEAE@Cotton follows Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.9667). The mechanism of enhanced dyeability was experimentally proved by treating the fabric with other anionic dyes in a salt-free system, proving the process to be environmentally friendly and cost-effective.Graphic abstract
