Oxygen Switchable Photo-Hydrovoltaic Effect along the Silicon-Water Interface.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
August 2024
Moving boundaries of electrical double layers have shown promising capability in driving directional electron flows in solids, leading to a range of hydrovoltaic effects. The recent discovery of a photohydrovoltaic phenomenon utilizes a moving illumination zone to generate moving boundaries with different properties at the solid-water interface, referred to as the kinetic photovoltaic effect. Here, oxygen was found to act as a chemical switch to turn on and off the kinetic photovoltaic effect.

- The study analyzes prostatic abscess (PA), focusing on its clinical features, imaging traits, treatment options, and outcomes based on 11 cases treated at a hospital from 2016 to 2022.
- Most patients were middle-aged with comorbidities like diabetes and experienced symptoms such as dysuria; imaging techniques like CT and MRI were essential for diagnosis.
- The findings suggest that while some patients improved with antibiotics alone, those who underwent surgery (transurethral PA unroofing) showed better outcomes, highlighting the need for surgical intervention in certain cases.
Background: The objective of this systematic review was to explore the association between private health insurance and health care utilization.
Methods: We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) electronic databases for relevant articles since 2010. Studies were eligible if they described original empirical research on the utilization of public health care by individuals with private health insurance, compared with individuals without private insurance.
Introduction: Yolk sac tumor (YST) is a rare malignant germ cell tumor, which usually affects young males. Because of the low incidence, few studies on YST have been published. In our study, we aim to investigate the clinical characteristics, survival and risk factors of male YST patients based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program.

- A study was conducted to determine if plasma fatty acid-binding protein 4 levels in the first trimester are linked to the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,150 women, finding that 11.7% of them developed GDM, with the risk increasing significantly across higher quartiles of fatty acid-binding protein 4.
- The findings suggest that measuring fatty acid-binding protein 4 levels could help identify women at risk for GDM early on, enabling timely prevention efforts.
[Treatment and prognosis of malignant ovarian neoplasms complicating pregnancy].
Zhongguo Yi Xue Ke Xue Yuan Xue Bao
October 2010
Objective: To summarize the clinicopathological features and prognosis of malignant ovarian neoplasms complicating pregnancy and explore the rational treatment.
Methods: The clinical data of 38 patients with malignant ovarian neoplasms complicating pregnancy were retrospectively analyzed,and the intra-surgical pathological sections were reviewed. International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system (1988) was applied.
The antioxidative and immunostimulating properties of D-glucosamine.
Int Immunopharmacol
January 2007
The objective of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant activity and immunostimulating property of glucosamine (GlcN) using various in vitro and in vivo tests. Results showed that GlcN possessed excellent antioxidant activities as manifested by strong chelating effect on ferrous ions and protection of macromolecules such as protein, lipid, and deoxyribose from oxidative damage induced by hydroxyl radicals. The immunostimulating effects of GlcN were further evaluated through various immunological tests.

Objective: To evaluate the role of recytoreductive surgery (RCRS) in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.
Methods: Fifty-five patients who underwent recytoreductive surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between Nov. 1998 and Apr.
Objective: To investigate the serum sE-cadherin level in patients with endometriosis and the alterations of that level in healthy control during the menstrual cycle.
Methods: Thirty-two patients with endometriosis and 30 healthy women were tested for serum sE-cadherin levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: The serum sE-cadherin levels in healthy control did not vary throughout the menstrual cycle, which were lower than those in patients with endometriosis.
