Revealing the fast reaction kinetics and interfacial behaviors of CuFeS hollow nanorods for durable and high-rate sodium storage.

The synergistic effect of two metallic elements in metal sulfides is regarded as a promising route for constructing advanced anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the explorations of intricate interactions and structural evolution in host material are often overlooked, which are crucial for the performance optimization. Herein, a bimetallic sulfide CuFeS and FeS/CuS heterostructure with similar hollow nanorods morphology is obtained by regulating sulfuration conditions.

Healthcare-seeking behaviours of patients with acute respiratory infection: a cross-sectional survey in a rural area of southwest China.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the healthcare-seeking behaviour and related factors of people with acute respiratory symptoms in the rural areas of central and western China to estimate the disease burden of influenza more accurately.

Design: Cross-sectional survey.

Settings: Fifty-two communities/villages in the Wanzhou District, Chongqing, China, a rural area in southwest China, from May 2022 to July 2022.

Creating Digital Sci-Fi Narratives through Multimodal Composing to Promote Adolescent Students' STEM Education.

Unlabelled: Much research has examined the incorporation of academic and scientific writing in science learning. However, less research has applied a narrative approach that represents events in a time sequence. Furthermore, modern technology has greatly extended students' modes of science expression beyond the printed texts.

Comparison of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and tacrolimus as first steroid-sparing agents for complicated relapsing/steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome in children: an evaluation of the health-related quality of life.

Introduction: Frequently-relapsing/steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (FRSDNS) leads to steroid toxicity impairing quality of life (QOL), thus prompting the use of steroid-sparing drugs.

Methods: 51 FRSDNS children not previously treated with steroid-sparing agents were randomized to receive rituximab, cyclophosphamide, or tacrolimus. Clinical findings and QOL were evaluated before and after treatment.

[Clinical features and genetic analysis of three children with mental retardation, language impairment and autistic features due to de novo variants of FOXP1 gene].

Objective: To analyze the clinical features and genetic basis of three children with mental retardation, language impairment and autistic features due to de novo variants of FOXP1 gene.

Methods: Clinical data of the children were collected.Trio-whole exome sequencing was carried out for the children and their parents.

Single Dose of Rituximab in Children with Steroid-Dependent / Frequently Relapsing Nephrotic Syndrome, Clinical Efficacy and Evaluation of Health-Related Quality of Life.

Introduction: Steroid-dependent (SD)/frequently relapsing (FR) nephrotic syndrome (NS) follows a relapsing and remitting course. It is also characterized by proteinuria and edema, which can significantly affect health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children. This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a single dose of rituximab (RTX) as well as the impact of RTX on HRQOL in children with SDFRNS.

Thrombotic microangiopathy led to acute kidney injury in an infant with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: A case report.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but fatal clinical syndrome frequently complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute tubular necrosis. Renal thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a specific pathological feature of childhood HLH and few cases have been reported among infants. The present study presents a rare case of HLH with TMA in an infant.

A Pooled Study of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Insertion/Deletion Gene Polymorphism in Relation to Risk, Pathology and Prognosis of Childhood Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis Nephritis.

The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) gene polymorphism has been inconsistently reported to be a risk factor for Childhood immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) nephritis. We comprehensively searched electronic databases as of Jan 2020. Nineteen studies with 1104 cases and 1589 controls were included.

Expression of Acid-Sensing Ion Channels in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells and Their Role in Patients with Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Nephritis.

BACKGROUND Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are ligand-gated cation channels activated by extracellular protons. However, the role of ASICs in kidney diseases remains uncertain. This study investigated ASICs expression in kidney tissues and their role in the development of Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN).

Fixed-combination of amlodipine and diuretic chronotherapy in the treatment of essential hypertension: improved blood pressure control with bedtime dosing-a multicenter, open-label randomized study.

Previous studies have demonstrated that individual anti-hypertension medications have different effects when administered in the morning vs. the evening. However, the impact of administration timing on fixed combinations of anti-hypertensive medications on blood pressure control is still unknown.

[Effects of long-term fertilization on soil particulate organic carbon and nitrogen in a wheat-maize cropping system].

0-20 cm soil samples were collected from an 18-year wheat-maize rotation field on the North China Plain to study the effects of long-term fertilization on the contents and storages of soil particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate organic nitrogen (PON), incorporated organic carbon (IOC), and incorporated organic nitrogen (ION). The long-term fertilization experiment was designed to include 7 treatments, i.e.

Are endoscopic grading and scoring systems in inflammatory bowel disease the same?

Objective: To assess the correlation and difference between various endoscopic grades and indices for assessment of endoscopic disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods: Eighty consecutive patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), and 31 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) were evaluated based on multiple endoscopic criteria between June 2006 and February 2007 at the Department of Gastroenterology of Renji Hospital, Shanghai, China. Two experienced endoscopists evaluated the endoscopic findings using various systems independently.
