Cost-efficient material with an ingenious design is important in the engineering applications of flexible energy storage and electromagnetic (EM) protection. In this study, bimetallic ZnCoS (ZCS) polyhedral nanoparticles homogenously embedded in the surface of porous N-doped carbon nanofiber membranes (ZCS@PCNFM) have been fabricated by electrospinning technique combined with carbonization and hydrothermal processes. As a self-assembled electrode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the bimetallic ZCS nanoparticles possess rich redox reactions, good electrical conductivity, and pseudocapacitive properties, while the three-dimensional (3D) multiaperture architecture of the nanofiber film not only shortens the transfer spacing of lithium ions and electrons but also effectively tolerates the volume variation during lithiation and delithiation cycles.

Although AKI due to infiltration of tumor cells in children is rare, it negatively impacts treatment outcomes and increases the risk of mortality. We introduce a case of a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who experienced kidney relapse resulting in asymptomatic AKI after remission from treatment, to remind clinicians not to overlook the primary disease in clinical judgment.

The unique carbon-coating layer architecture of ZSO@CNFM not only plays a crucial role in alleviating the volume change of ZSO MC during lithium ion insertion/extraction processes, but also constructs a three-dimensional (3D) transport network with the help of interconnected carbon nanofibers (CNFs) to ensure the structural integrity of the material and promote the electrochemical reaction kinetics. Due to its good flexibility characteristics, the as-prepared ZSO@CNFM can be directly adopted as an anode material for LIBs without the use of copper foil, conductive carbon black and any binder.

Whether patients with SAA should be treated with eltrombopag (EPAG) and immunosuppressive therapy (IST) or IST alone remains debatable. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of eltrombopag + IST with that of IST alone in patients with SAA and to assess the difference in the efficacy of eltrombopag in adults and children.

To overcome this challenge, the present study takes advantage of navigators' spontaneous eye blinks during navigation to serve as event markers in continuously recorded electroencephalography (EEG) data to assess cognitive load in a mobile map-assisted navigation task. We examined if and how displaying different numbers of landmarks (3 vs.

In recent years, the incidence of UC has increased. However, its etiology and pathogenesis are still not completely clear.

Its incidence and mortality rates are high, while survivors (50% to 70%) suffer from different degrees of disability. Hemiplegia is a common disability after stroke, mainly manifested as muscle weakness of the affected side, limb spasm, and limited activity, which severely impacts a patient's daily life.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) show individual differences in platelet reactivity (PR). Here, we aim to find differences in the platelet microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of high PR and low PR patients to serve as potential biomarkers. ADP-induced platelet aggregation (PAG) was used to determine PR.
