With the advancement of science and technology, effectively addressing the issue of heat dissipation in electronic equipment has become a key research topic. Polymers have attracted attention due to their low price, excellent flexibility, and lightweight characteristics, but thermal conductivity has a limitation. In this work, aiming for all-polymer composites with lightweight and high thermal conductivity, poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers were used to construct a long-range ordered heat transfer path in the organosilicon matrix, and an all-organic composite material with a low density of 1.

Article Synopsis
  • * By utilizing low molecular weight polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and large-size BN, the researchers developed a new method to produce high-adhesion BN films, achieving a through-plane thermal conductivity of up to 12.11 W m K and a low compression modulus of 55 kPa.
  • * The newly developed TIM outperformed commercial options, demonstrating superior heat dissipation capabilities, resulting in a 7 °C lower steady-state temperature at high power densities, which supports its

As the essential amino acids, branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) from diets is indispensable for health. BCAA supplementation is often recommended for patients with consumptive diseases or healthy people who exercise regularly. Latest studies and ours reported that elevated BCAA level was positively correlated with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, thrombosis and heart failure.

Background Data regarding the impact of successful chronic total occlusion treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO-PCI) on symptoms and quality of life (QOL) in elderly patients (≥75 years) are unknown. This prospective study aimed to assess whether successful CTO-PCI could improve the symptoms and QOL in elderly patients (≥75 years). Methods and Results Consecutive patients who underwent elective CTO-PCI were prospectively enrolled and subdivided into 3 groups based on age: age<65 years, 65 years≤age<75 years, and age≥75 years.

Background: A low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m) is widely recognized as a risk factor for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO). However, the impact of successful CTO-PCI on quality of life (QOL) of patients with low eGFR remains unknown.

Background: Diabetes was commonly seen in chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients but data regarding the impact of successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on clinical outcome of CTO patients with diabetes was controversial. And importantly, no studies have compared quality of life (QOL) after CTO-PCI in patients with and without diabetes.

Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing elective CTO-PCI were prospectively enrolled from Apr.

Background: Taking ischemic and bleeding risks into consideration, insufficient data exist on dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention in elderly Chinese patients with coronary artery disease.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of ticagrelor in comparison with clopidogrel on a background of aspirin for elderly Chinese patients with coronary artery disease 12 months after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted.
