Solid oxide cells (SOCs) are promising energy-conversion devices due to their high efficiency under flexible operational modes. Yet, the sluggish kinetics of fuel electrodes remain a major obstacle to their practical applications. Since the electrochemically active region only extends a few micrometers, manipulating surface architecture is vital to endow highly efficient and stable fuel electrodes for SOCs.

Zinc deficiency is a serious risk to human health and growth, especially in children. The development of zinc supplements can effectively reduce this harm. Here, a series of debranched starch‑zinc complexes (DS-Zn) were prepared, whose zinc complexation was inversely proportional to the amylopectin content in the debranched starch (DS).

Nitrogen- and fluorine-doped bimetallic carbide composites with graphite matrix (abbreviated as CCrMo/NG and CCrMo/FG) are synthesized through carbonization at 1300 °C. The CCrMo/NG displays an initial half-wave potential (E) of 0.873 V and suffers merely 3 mV decrease in E within 60,000 CV cycles for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs), which belongs to immune-mediated adverse drug reactions (IM-ADRs). As an essential health drug, albendazole has rarely been reported to cause serious liver damage. A young man in his 30 s developed severe jaundice, abnormal transaminases, and poor blood coagulation mechanism after taking albendazole, and eventually developed into severe liver failure.

Sports performance and health monitoring are essential for athletes to maintain peak performance and avoid potential injuries. In this paper, we propose a sports health monitoring system that utilizes wearable devices, cloud computing, and deep learning to monitor the health status of sports persons. The system consists of a wearable device that collects various physiological parameters and a cloud server that contains a deep learning model to predict the sportsperson's health status.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), astonished the world and led to millions of deaths. Due to viral new mutations and immune evasion, SARS-CoV-2 ranked first in transmission and influence. The binding affinity of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphisms to SARS-CoV-2 might be related to immune escape, but the mechanisms remained unclear.

It has recently been found that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) m6A modifications can affect viral replication and function. However, no studies to date have shown a correlation between SARS-CoV-2 m6A modifications and viral pathogenicity. In this study, we analyzed m6A modification in 2,190,667 SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNAs.

Nanotechnology has been widely applied for pesticide carriers, which is an important way to improve the utilization, stability, and sustained release of pesticides. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are a nanomaterial with adjustable particle and pore sizes, with a high specific surface area and good biocompatibility. Rotenone is a non-systemic botanical insecticide that is easily degraded in the environment.

Pesticides inevitably enter aquatic environments, posing potential risks to organisms. The common aquatic model organism, zebrafish (Danio rerio), are widely used to evaluate the toxicity of pesticides. In this review, we searched the Web of Science database for articles published between 2012 and 2022, using the keywords "pesticide", "zebrafish", and "toxicity", retrieving 618 publications.

Instruction: Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common inherited cancer predisposition disorder of colorectal cancer (CRC) which is associated with pathogenic variants in 4 mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Here, we reported a multi-generation Chinese family clinically diagnosed with LS.

Methods: To identify the underlying pathogenic gene variants, 30 whole blood samples and 4 colorectal cancer tissue samples and their clinical data were obtained from this four-generation family.

Chlorantraniliprole (CAP), a representative bisamide insecticide, is widely used in rice fields around the world, posing potential toxicity risks to aquatic organisms. In this study, we examined the effects of exposure to CAP on growth and metabolic phenotype of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and oxidative stress and apoptosis in the liver of zebrafish (Danio rerio). First, we identified that CAP had a low bioaccumulation in zebrafish.

Over the past few decades, pesticides have been used in large quantities, and they pose potential risks to organisms across various environments. Reducing the use of pesticides and their environmental risks has been an active research focus and difficult issue worldwide. As a class of pesticides with special structures, chiral pesticides generally exhibit enantioselectivity differences in biological activity, ecotoxicity, and environmental behavior.

The cyclic alternating pattern is the periodic electroencephalogram activity occurring during non-rapid eye movement sleep. It is a marker of sleep instability and is correlated with several sleep-related pathologies. Considering the connection between the human heart and brain, our study explores the feasibility of using cardiopulmonary features to automatically detect the cyclic alternating pattern of sleep and hence diagnose sleep-related pathologies.
