The cover image, prepared by Yuhao Liu, Ying Lin, Liming Wang, and Yaying Xu, shows a silicone prepolymer to modify cycloaliphatic epoxy resin (CEP) with uniformly distributed solid dispersion phases. toughness, hydrophobicity, hydrophobic transfer properties of the CEP were simultaneously improved. This method has potential for applications in outdoor insulation or other waterproof humidity fi...

Stress is a concept that has received increased attention in marital research during the last decade, showing that it plays an important role in understanding the quality and stability of close relationships. Evidence suggests that stress is a threat to marital satisfaction and its longevity. Research has been based upon theoretical models of stress in close relationships, specifically family s...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been frequently reported to be diagnostic biomarkers and prognostic factors for cancer. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical significance of microRNA-139 (miRNA-139) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). All 31 patients enrolled in the present study had received curative hepatectomy. The objective miRNA was determined using miRNA microarray. The miRNA-1...

In this study, PP films were modified with an organic pro-degradant in different concentrations (1, 2 and 3 wt.%), exposed in the first step of degradation to natural ageing for 100 days followed by biodegradation in simulated soil in the respirometric test for 100 days. At the end of the combined degradation process the PP samples were characterized according to their morphological and physica...

INTRODUCTION This single-group, open-label, prospective, noncomparative, multicenter, Phase IV study explored the efficacy and tolerability of paliperidone palmitate (PP) in hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of schizophrenia. METHODS Asian patients of either sex, between 18 and 65 years of age, diagnosed with schizophrenia (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fo...

nanocomposites based on polyamide 6/polypropylene  )pa6/pp 67/33) blend containing 2.5 to 10 phr of nano-caco3  and 5 phr of maleated polypropylene )pp-g-mah) as compatibilizer were prepared by melt compounding followed by injection molding. the mechanical properties, water absorption, as well as shrinkage behavior were characterized and the morphology was studied using scanning electron micros...
