Designing cost-effective electrocatalysts for water decomposition is crucial for achieving environmental-friendly hydrogen production. A transition metal sulfide/hydroxide electrocatalyst (1T-MoS/NiS/LDH) with double heterogeneous interfaces was developed through a two-step hydrothermal assisted electrodeposition method. The presence of the two built-in electric fields not only accelerated the charge transfer at the interface, but also enhanced the adsorption of the reactants and intermediate groups, and therefore improved the reaction rate and overall catalytic performance.

Methods: Relevant literature in databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database (CNKI), Wanfang Digital Journal, Chinese Medical Journal Database (CMJD), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase was reviewed by two independent investigators. Data were extracted from the studies according to the eligible criteria and analyzed using Review Manager 5.
In this work, activated carbon (AC) supported CuCl (CuCl@AC) prepared with CuCl as precursor is investigated for CO separation from the synthesis gas mixture. Firstly, the CuCl@AC adsorbents are investigated for their CO reversible adsorption capacity at an operation temperature of 303 K. And a vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) process of CO separation from syngas utilizing the prepared CuCl@AC adsorbent is investigated at ambient temperature and 0.

This paper reports the latest trends in HIV drug-resistance in order to develop anti-HIV drugs in clinical programs, research and development of new guidance anti-HIV-1 strategy to bring guidance.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have made great progress in rapid inhibition of HIV, reduce the morbidity and mortality, etc; while it exists many limits, such as viruses rebound after discontinuation of drug, side effects, drug-resistant. With the emergence of these problems, researchers explored therapies by traditional Chinese medicine, so as to achieve target of lower antiviral drug side effect, raising antiviral treatment adherence. Through a large number of clinical tests, we achieved encouraging effects in treating HAART related side effects by Chinese medicine.

This paper primarily concluded the nature, location and pathogenesis of AIDS diseases. Deficiency of Yang and Yin, combining deficiency of Qi are the basic deficiency syndromes, while stagnation of dampness, toxic fire are the excess syndromes; the disease location of HIV infector is spleen, main syndrome is deficiency of spleen Qi; the disease location of AIDS patient is kidney, main syndrome is deficiency of spleen and kidney Yang.

The 485 cases of HIV/AIDS patients from 10 major regions of the AIDS epidemic in HIV. In this study, the interpretation of experts to explore the TCM syndromes in different routes of infection, different stage of disease, with syndrome distribution under different interventions.
