Open AccessNomogram incorporating Epstein-Barr virus DNA and a novel immune-nutritional marker for survival prediction in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Since Immune response, nutritional status and Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) DNA status have been confirmed to be relevant to the prognosis of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), we believe that the combin...

Open AccessImpact of sex on treatment-related adverse effects and prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
In nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), women have a lower incidence and mortality rate than men. Whether sex influences the prognosis of NPC patients remains debatable. We retrospectively examined the influence of se...

A new method for multiancestry polygenic prediction improves performance across diverse populations
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) increasingly predict complex traits; however, suboptimal performance in non-European populations raise concerns about clinical applications and health inequities. We developed CT-S...

Open AccessSystemic immune-inflammation index during treatment predicts prognosis and guides clinical treatment in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been demonstrated to be closely associated with the poor prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the role of SII during treatment of NPC has not been ...

Open AccessCellulose-mediated floc formation by the activated sludge bacterium Shinella zoogloeoides ATCC 19623
Bacterial floc formation plays a central role in the activated sludge (AS) process. The formation of AS flocs has long been known to require exopolysaccharide biosynthesis. We had demonstrated that both expoly...
