Homogeneously niobium-doped MoS for rapid and high-sensitive detection of typical chemical warfare agents.

Rapid detection of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) is of great significance in protecting civilians in public places and military personnel on the battlefield. Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS) nanosheets (NSs) can be integrated as a gas sensor at room temperature (25°C) due to their large specific surface area and excellent semiconductor properties. However, low sensitivity and long response-recovery time hinder the pure MoS application in CWAs gas sensors.

Investigation of MOF-derived humidity-proof hierarchical porous carbon frameworks as highly-selective toluene absorbents and sensing materials.

Carbon frameworks (CFs) derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been produced as adsorbents of toluene. To further obtain optimum hierarchical porous carbon structure of CFs, different treatment temperatures were applied to a typical kind of MOFs (ZIF-8). The adsorption capacity of the toluene of hierarchical porous CFs obtained from ZIF-8 under 1100 °C (CF-1100, adsorption capacity of 208.

Enhanced dimethyl methylphosphonate detection based on two-dimensional WSe nanosheets at room temperature.

Chemical warfare agents, particularly nerve agents such as sarin, are exceptionally harmful and incredibly perilous to people. Thus, the sensitive detection of these gases is indispensable for reducing the risk of chemical weapons. Herein, we fabricated a room-temperature chemiresistive gas sensor based on two-dimensional few-layer tungsten diselenide (WSe2) nanosheets, which were prepared through a facile liquid-phase exfoliation method.

Comparative study on different therapies on patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Objective: To compare and analyze three therapies on patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), aiming to provide evidences for future treatment and prognosis.

Methods: Clinical data of 26 cases of PCNSL with normal immune system confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Among them there were six cases with operation only, nine cases with operation and radiotherapy, and 11 cases with operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and their survival rate was compared as well.

Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma With Extensive Osseous Metaplasia: Report of a Rare Case.

A 48-year-old Chinese woman presenting with continuing dull pain in the right lower back and abdomen was found to have a tumor with extensive osseous metaplasia in the upper-middle pole of the right kidney. The excised neoplasm specimen revealed a 29 × 26 mm hard tumor with dense ossification. Histopathological examination of the tumor showed that it contained lamellar bone forming trabeculae intermingled and spherical or polygonal epithelial cells that contained slightly irregular nuclei with small nucleoli and abundant pink to clear cytoplasm.
