Patterning of Wafer-Scale MXene Films for High-Performance Image Sensor Arrays.

As a rapidly growing family of 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides, MXenes are recognized as promising materials for the development of future electronics and optoelectronics. So far, the reported patterning methods for MXene films lack efficiency, resolution, and compatibility, resulting in limited device integration and performance. Here, a high-performance MXene image sensor array fabricated by a wafer-scale combination patterning method of an MXene film is reported.

Whole-brain radiotherapy plus sequential or simultaneous integrated boost for the treatment of a limited number of brain metastases in non-small cell lung cancer: A single-institution study.

Background: To compare the survival outcomes and neurocognitive dysfunction in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases (BM ≤10) treated by whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) with sequential integrated boost (SEB) or simultaneous integrated boost (SIB).

Materials: Fifty-two NSCLC patients with a limited number of BMs were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty cases received WBRT+SEB (WBRT: 3 Gy*10 fractions and BMs: 4 Gy*3 fractions; SEB group), and 32 cases received WBRT+SIB (WBRT: 3 Gy*10 fractions and BMs: 4 Gy*10 fractions; SIB group).

Study on method for assessment of the physical structure integrity in Chagan lake in China based on remote sensing.

This paper, taking Chagan lake as the study area, uses and improves MWR V1.0 (Rivers (Lake) Health Assessment Indicators, Standards and Methods V1.0) relating to the theory and method of physical structure integrity assessment.

Metabolic rate and evaporative water loss in the silky starling (Sturnus sericeus).

To better understand the physiological characteristics of the silky starling (Sturnus sericeus), its body temperature (Tb), basal metabolic rate (BMR), evaporative water loss (EWL) and thermal conductance (C) elicited by different ambient temperatures (Ta) (5-30 ℃) were determined in the present study. Our results showed that they have a high Tb (41.6 ± 0.

[Application of video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy in radical vulvectomy for carcinoma].

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of applying video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy via hypogastric subcutaneous approach (VEIL-H) in the treatment of vulvar carcinoma.

Methods: From September 2009 to December 2012, 15 patients with vulvar carcinoma underwent VEIL-H plus radical vulvectomy at many participating hospitals.

Results: All were treated surgically.

Comparative Analysis on Antioxidative Ability of Muscle between Laiwu Pig and Large White.

This study was conducted to evaluate effects of storage temperatures (4°C and 20°C) and pig breeds (Laiwu pig and Large White pig) on the main antioxidative enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) activity and lipid oxidation in porcine Longissimus dorsi muscle. Activities of antioxidative enzymes (AOE) decreased slightly during storage, regardless of storage temperatures. Muscle antioxidative enzymes activities stored at 4°C were higher than that stored at 20°C.
