The Study on the Influence of Peer Relationships on College Students’ Academic Performance in HEZE University, ShanDong Province, China Peer relationship is an important part of college students' study and life. The communication and interaction between college students and their peers can not only promote their own development, but also hinder their development. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of peer relationships of college students on academic achievement to understand the current situation of peer relationships and academic performance, and analyze whether students peer relationship can affect students' academic performance, students' peer relationship quality on the academic performance of college students can play a predictive role, or to what extent we can predict the academic performance. This paper first defines the related concepts of peer relationship and academic performance through the summary of related literature, and puts forward the related theoretical basis, and what aspects of the current research are mainly focused on. Then combined with the results of empirical research, this paper analyzes the actual situation of peer relationship, academic engagement and academic performance of college students studying in HEZE university. And we do the descriptive analysis, measurement model analysis and structural equation model analysis to these situations. Finally, it summarizes the peer relationship academic engagement and academic performance of college students, and puts forward some suggestions.

Liu, X. From tumor microenvironment to emerging biomarkers: the reshaping of the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tumor microenvironment by neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is a cancer with high morbidity and mortality. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors has significantly increased complete response rates and postoperative R0 resection rates after neoadjuvant therapy. These drugs can largely reverse the suppression of the immune system caused by the tumor microenvironment, allowing the reactivation of anti-tumor immune infiltrating cells, significantly improving the patient's tumor microenvironment, and thus preventing tumor development. However, there are still some patients who respond poorly to neoadjuvant combined immunotherapy and cannot achieve the expected results. It is now found that exploring changes in the tumor microenvironment not only elucidates patient responsiveness to immunotherapy and identifies more reliable biomarkers, but also addresses the limitations of prediction with imaging examination such as CT and the instability of existing biomarkers. In light of these considerations, this review aims to delve into the alterations within the tumor microenvironment and identify potential predictive biomarkers ensuing from neoadjuvant immunotherapy in the context of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Post-marketing safety evaluation of lurbinectedin: a pharmacovigilance analysis based on the FAERS database On 15 June 2020, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved lurbinectedin for treating adult patients with metastatic small-cell lung cancer whose disease has progressed despite prior platinum-based chemotherapy. Following its market approval, safety data on lurbinectedin in large populations is currently lacking. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate adverse events (AEs) associated with lurbinectedin using the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)database.

Versatile Antibacterial and Antioxidant Bacterial Cellulose@Nanoceria Biotextile: Application in Reusable Antimicrobial Face Masks Abstract Despite considerable interest in medical and pharmaceutical fields, there remains a notable absence of functional textiles that concurrently exhibit antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Herein, a new composite fabric constructed using nanostructured bacterial cellulose (BC) covalently‐linked with cerium oxide nanoparticles (BC@CeO 2 NPs) is introduced. The synthesis of CeO 2 NPs on the BC is performed via a microwave‐assisted, in situ chemical deposition technique, resulting in the formation of mixed valence Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ CeO 2 NPs. This approach ensures the durability of the composite fabric subjected to multiple washing cycles. The Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity of CeO 2 NPs and their rapid and efficient eradication of >99% model microbes, such as Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus remain unaltered in the composite. To demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating the fabric in marketable products, antimicrobial face masks are fabricated with filter layers made of BC@CeO 2 NPs cross‐linked with propylene or cotton fibers. These masks exhibit complete inhibition of bacterial growth in the three bacterial strains, improved breathability compared to respirator masks and enhanced filtration efficiency compared to single‐use surgical face masks. This study provides valuable insights into the development of functional BC@CeO 2 NPs biotextiles in which design can be extended to the fabrication of medical dressings and cosmetic products with combined antibiotic, antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities.

Optimization of Formwork Structure Node for Housing Construction Project to Eliminate the Influence of Accumulative Deformation of Aluminum Alloy Formwork The aluminum alloy formwork will deform during the construction and application, and the deformation will increase with the increase of the number of use, which not only enhances the installation and removal difficulty of the formwork, but also affects the size of concrete members, and has a more obvious impact on large wall and slab members. After analysis and summary of the mechanism of formwork deformation, the project technicians optimize the design of the formwork structure node, which eliminates the adverse effects of formwork deformation and guarantees the construction quality of the project. Aluminum alloy formwork is a complete formwork system, and each member has direct or indirect connection. In order to carry out innovative design based on mature technology, it is necessary to fully consider its influence on all aspects to achieve the perfect integration of theory and practice. Based on the investigation of the housing construction project site, this paper summarizes and analyzes the causes of formwork deformation from various aspects, puts forward corresponding measures, and finally solves the construction problems caused by formwork deformation, which can provide an experience for similar projects.
