Flexible, stretchable multifunctional silver nanoparticles-decorated cotton textile based on amyloid-like protein aggregation for electrothermal and photothermal dual-driven wearable heater.

The design of multifunctional, high-performance wearable heaters utilizing textile substrates has garnered increasing attention, particularly in the development of body temperature and health monitoring devices. However, fabricating these multifunctional wearable heaters while simultaneously ensuring flexibility, air permeability, Joule heating performance, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and antibacterial properties remains a significant challenge. This study utilizes phase transition lysozyme (PTL) film-mediated electroless deposition (ELD) technology to deposit silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the cotton fabrics surface in a mild aqueous solution at room temperature, thereby constructing a wearable heater with long-term stability, high conductivity, and exceptional photothermal properties.

Efficacy of minimally invasive soft-channel drainage for chronic subdural hematoma utilizing 3D slicer: a retrospective comparative analysis.

Background: The main surgical interventions for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) include craniotomy for hematoma evacuation, neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation, and burr hole drainage.However, elderly patients often present with significant comorbidities, which limit their ability to tolerate general anesthesia and invasive surgical procedures.Minimally invasive soft-channel drainage under local anesthesia has emerged as a viable alternative, particularly suitable for elderly patients or those with high surgical risk.

Spatial pattern of critical wetland patches and its influencing factors in a coastal area, North China.

Knowing the spatial pattern of critical wetland patches has an important significance for the restoration and protection of wetland ecosystems. However, the spatial pattern of critical wetland patches in coastal areas is not well understood, and its influencing factors are also unclear, especially in coastal areas. In this study, landscape indices were used to study the spatial pattern of the wetlands in the Hebei-Tianjin coastal area, North China.

Network meta-analysis of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome.

Objective: To evaluate efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with Western medicine in treatment of Sjogren's syndrome (SS).

Methods: CNKI, WanFang, VIP, CBM, Sinomed, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCM combined with conventional western medicine (CWM) in treating SS from the time of their estalishment to May 2023. The researchers independently screened the literature and extracted data for quality evaluation.

Membrane fouling characteristics and cleaning strategies for rural decentralized nanofiltration drinking water station based on groundwater source.

Groundwater is an important source of drinking water in rural areas. In this study, the performance of water purificat ion in a rural water station equipped with nanofiltration (NF) membranes based groundwater source was investigated, as well as the contamination morphology, foulant composition and distribution characteristics of NF membrane. Results showed that significant differences of membrane foulants were observed in different sections of NF membrane.
