Chitosan-induced NHVO hierarchical hybrids as high-capacity cathode for aqueous zinc ion batteries.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) have been widely investigated due to their characteristics of convenient operation and intrinsic safety. However, there are several issues to be addressed in AZIBs, such as slow diffusion kinetics of Zn, cathode material dissolution and the dendrite formation of zinc anodes. Thus, it is challenging to prepare a high-performance cathode material.

Mechanical properties of CTCs in patients with diagnosed ovarian cancer.

The incidence and mortality of gynecologic cancers have been constantly increasing in China over the last 2 decades, which become a major health concern for women. Survival rates of gynecologic cancers are generally not satisfactory and decrease along with the advancing stage, this is mainly due to the lack of a clear prognostic evaluation during the treatment, which brings difficulties to the treatment. Therefore, more accurate prognostic evaluation methods are urgently needed.

[Association of SLC6A4 gene c.*670T>G polymorphism with the risk for asthma and peripheral blood cytological characteristics among ethnic Zhuang Chinese population].

Objective: To assess the association of SLC6A4 gene c.*670T>G polymorphism with the risk for asthma and peripheral blood cytological characteristics among ethnic Zhuang Chinese from Guangxi, China.

Methods: From May 2017 to March 2020, 258 patients diagnosed with asthma and 244 healthy controls were recruited from the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Minzhu Medical College and the People's Hospital of Hechi.

The Safety of Chemotherapy for Ovarian Malignancy during Pregnancy.

Background: Data on epidemiologic features, treatments and outcomes in women diagnosed with ovarian malignancy during pregnancy are very sparse due to its low incidence. The goal of our study was to summarize the epidemiologic characteristics of pregnant women complicated with ovarian malignancy and investigate the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy during pregnancy.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of eight patients suffering from ovarian malignancy during pregnancy in our institution from June 2011 to July 2021.

Effect of docetaxel on mechanical properties of ovarian cancer cells.

Docetaxel could inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells by targeting microtubules. The extension of cellular microtubules plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. This paper aims to study the distribution and mechanical properties of cytoskeletal proteins with low concentration of docetaxel.

The characterization of a short chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDRx) in Comamonas testosteroni.

is a research topic that can degrade steroid hormones into water and carbon dioxide through a series of enzymes in the body. Short-chain dehydrogenase (SDR) are a class of NAD (P) H-dependent oxidoreductases in C. .

Imiquimod enhances DNFB mediated contact hypersensitivity in mice.

Imiquimod (Imiq) is a synthetic imizoquinoline compound which can act on Toll-like receptor (TLR)7 and transduce signals involved in cell activation. We investigated the role of Imiq on contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and explored the potential mechanisms of mast cells involved in the process. Topical application of Imiq cream augmented DNFB mediated CHS in C57BL/6 mice.
