Phosphate modified nanocrystalline TiO2 (nc-TiO2) films were prepared by a doctor blade method, followed post-treatment with monometallic sodium orthophosphate solution. The dynamic processes of the photogenerated charges from resulting nc-TiO2 thoroughly investigated means transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS). It is shown that holes in un-modified film exhibit same decay process as its electrons, oxygen-free water pH 7. However, phosphate display slightly faster than and have much longer...

Mesoporous SiO2-modified nanocrystalline TiO2 photocatalysts have been prepared by sol-hydrothermal processes, followed post-treatment with appropriate amount of surfactant F127-modified silica sol. The resulting were also characterized X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer−Emmett−Teller N2 adsorption−desorption, transmission electron microscopy, FT-IR, photoelectron UV−vis diffuse reflectance steady state surface photovoltage (SS-SPV), and transient (TS-SPV) techniques....

High-quality CoP nanorings (CoP NRs) are easily achieved using a phosphorating treatment of CoOOH nanorings, and reveal high activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction nitrate electrocatalytic reduction due to substantial coordinately unsaturated active sites, surface area, available mass transfer pathways. Consequently, NRs can achieve faradaic efficiency 97.1% NO3--to-NH3 conversion provide an NH3 yield 30.1 mg h-1 mg-1cat at -0.5 V potential.

Abstract Hard carbon anode demonstrates exceptional potential in sodium‐ion batteries due to their cost‐effectivenss and superior plateau capacity. However, the proximity of capacity cut‐off voltage battery operation premature response caused by polarization at high rates greatly limit exploitation capacities, raising big concerns about inferior rate performance high‐plateau‐capacity hard carbon. In this work, a facile pre‐oxidation strategy is proposed for fabricating lignin‐derived Both...

: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder of the exocrine pancreas, especially hyperlipidemia acute (HLAP) third leading cause which more severe with a greater incidence persistent multiorgan failure. HLAP inflicts injury upon organelles within acinar cell, particularly mitochondria, endolysosomal–autophagy system, and accompanied by senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). RAD, only two consists Rhizoma Alismatis Atractylodes macrocephala Rhizoma, best known for its...

This study aimed to perform an accurate and precise diagnosis for fetuses with suspected skeletal anomalies based on incomplete limited ultrasound phenotype.Proband-only targeted gene panel sequencing was performed 12 families who had evaluations at a mean gestational age of 24 weeks 3 days. The all normal standard genetic testing yield (karyotyping microarray).In 10 fetuses, provided or possible identification variants in the following genes: FGFR3, COL1A2, IHH, COL2A1, DYNC2H1. Two cases...

Abstract Kawasaki disease (KD), described as “mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome” , affects infants and toddlers. Patients with KD suffer from an inflammatory cascade leading to vasculitis a predilection for coronary arteries. While the symptoms pathogenesis of have received more attention, precise mechanisms are still debated. Researches show that endothelial dysfunction process in leads arterial damage affect clinical outcome. In this study, we constructed Candida albicans water soluble...

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common adverse drug reaction that can result in injury, particularly cases of paracetamol (APAP) abuse. Schisandra sphenanthera Rehd. et Wils. has attracted...

The purpose of the study was to use exome sequencing (ES) contribution single-gene disorders recurrent non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) and retrospectively evaluate value genetic diagnosis on prenatal management pregnancy outcome. From January 2012 October 2018, a cohort 28 fetuses with NIHF analyzed by trio ES. Fetuses immune hydrops, non-genetic factors (including infection, etc.), karyotype, or CNV abnormalities were excluded. Variants interpreted based ACMG/AMP guidelines. Fetal therapy...

Abstract Introduction Preeclampsia affects about 10% of twin pregnancies and significantly increases the risk adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, screening models for preeclampsia in remain elusive. The present study aimed to evaluate performance a multi‐marker first trimester model low‐risk pregnancies. Material methods Between 2014 2017, we prospectively assessed biomarkers ‘low‐risk‘ cohort at single center. Multiple logistic regression was used determine significant predictors early...

Apigenin is one of the natural flavonoids found mainly in plants, as well some fruits and vegetables, with celery particular being most abundant. has antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anticancer effects. In this research, we attempted to further investigate effects apigenin on mechanism repairing oxidative cell damage. The present study hopes provide a potential candidate for abnormal skin pigmentation disorders.

Abstract Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of expanded non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) that includes both trisomies and copy number variants (CNVs) in high‐risk twin pregnancies. Material Methods A prospective, double‐blinded cohort study conducted, enrolling 73 pregnancies characterized by increased risk genetic disorders due factors such as nuchal translucency, structural anomalies, fetal growth restriction, other associated with chromosomal abnormality....

Abstract In order to reduce the cost and enhance performance of cathode catalyst for fuel cell, support‐less, ultra‐low Pt contents based nanostructured platinum copper (Pt−Cu) nanoparticles (NPs), with differential Pt‐contents, were prepared using CTAB‐reduction approach avoiding utilization high contents, while keeping electrocatalytic activity durability. The novelty present work lies in suggested synthesis method support‐free Pt−Cu NPs lower loadings (0.04‐0.25 wt.%). 0.25 Cu (E o 0.98 V...

The case of a 62-year old man diagnosed with radiation-induced meningioma (RIM) after treatment for astrocytoma an unusually short latency period 7 months is reported. patient first presented 2-month history memory decline. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed tumour in the left parieto-temporal lobe. Gross total resection was performed and confirmed to be astrocytoma. received cranial radiotherapy 2 weeks later, however radiation headache vomiting. MRI massive meningeal enhancement...

Objective To study the value of exome sequencing (ES) in severe pleural effusion with non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) that underwent thoracoamniotic shunt (TAS). Methods It was a retrospective NIHF TAS between 2012 and 2020 at Shanghai First Maternity Infant Hospital. After detailed assessment, cases aneuploidies, infections, structural anomalies were excluded, offered to effusion.
