Clinical efficacy of bladder function training combined with pelvic floor biofeedback electrical stimulation on neurogenic bladder and its impact on urodynamics.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of bladder function training combined with pelvic floor biofeedback electrical stimulation in the treatment of neurogenic bladder and its impact on urodynamics.

Methods: This was a clinical comparative study. A total of 120 patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury admitted to Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital of Capital Medical University and Beijing Shijingshan Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were randomly divided into two groups (n= 60/group).

Response of soil particles around bedrock outcrops to sorting of rock surface flow derived outcrops in a rocky desertification area.

Soils around bedrock outcrops, even if they are protected by vegetation to some extent after ecological restoration, are prone to being washed away by rock surface flow (RSF) derived from these outcrops in rocky desertification land. However, the extent of the scouring scale and sorting effect of RSF on the soils around outcrops remains unknown. To solve this problem, a series of soils around bedrock outcrops exposed in sloping farmland (SF, without RSF), abandoned land (AL, 1 year of RSF) and shrub-grassland (SG, 5 years of RSF) were examined by the laser diffraction method in a natural ecological restoration area of rocky desertification, where the duration of the RSF is also the time for ecological restoration.

Electrospun Kraft Lignin/Cellulose Acetate-Derived Nanocarbon Network as an Anode for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries.

An innovative nanocarbon network material was synthesized from electrospun kraft lignin and cellulose acetate blend nanofibers after carbonization at 1000 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere, and its electrochemical performance was evaluated as an anode material in sodium-ion batteries. Apart from its unique network architecture, introduced carbon material possesses high oxygen content of 13.26%, wide interplanar spacing of 0.

Sol-Gel Synthesis of Carbon Xerogel-ZnO Composite for Detection of Catechol.

Carbon xerogel-zinc oxide (CXZnO) composites were synthesized by a simple method of sol-gel condensation polymerization of formaldehyde and resorcinol solution containing zinc salt followed by drying and thermal treatment. ZnO nanoparticles were observed to be evenly dispersed on the surfaces of the carbon xerogel microspheres. The as-prepared CXZnO composites were mixed with laccase (Lac) and Nafion to obtain a mixture solution, which was further modified on an electrode surface to construct a novel biosensing platform.

An Amorphous Carbon Nitride Composite Derived from ZIF-8 as Anode Material for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

An composite comprising amorphous carbon nitride (ACN) and zinc oxide is derived from ZIF-8 by pyrolysis. The composite is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries. The nitrogen content of the ACN composite is as high as 20.

Precisely controlled resorcinol-formaldehyde resin coating for fabricating core-shell, hollow, and yolk-shell carbon nanostructures.

This work provides a facile one-step sol-gel route to synthesize high-quality resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin coated nanocomposites that can be further used to fabricate desired carbon nanostructures. Colloidal particles with different morphologies and sizes can be coated with high-quality RF resin shells by the proposed cationic surfactant assisted RF resin coating strategy. The as-synthesized RF resin coated nanocomposites are ideal candidates for selective synthesis of core-shell, hollow, and yolk-shell carbon nanostructures.
