Pre-existing Health Conditions and Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume: Potential Risk Factors for Myocardial Injury in COVID-19 Patients.

Myocardial injury is a life-threatening complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pre-existing health conditions and early morphological alterations may precipitate cardiac injury and dysfunction after contracting the virus. The current study aimed at assessing potential risk factors for COVID-19 cardiac complications in patients with pre-existing conditions and imaging predictors.

Solitary solid pulmonary nodules: a CT-based deep learning nomogram helps differentiate tuberculosis granulomas from lung adenocarcinomas.

Objectives: To evaluate the differential diagnostic performance of a computed tomography (CT)-based deep learning nomogram (DLN) in identifying tuberculous granuloma (TBG) and lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) presenting as solitary solid pulmonary nodules (SSPNs).

Methods: Routine CT images of 550 patients with SSPNs were retrospectively obtained from two centers. A convolutional neural network was used to extract deep learning features from all lesions.

Ixeris sonchifolia: a review of its traditional uses, chemical constituents, pharmacology and modern applications.

Ixeris sonchifolia (IS), principally its dried form, is widely used as traditional and folk medicines in some Asian countries, especially China. In this review, we summarized its traditional uses, chemical constituents, quality control measures, pharmacological activities, therapeutic evaluation, toxicity evaluation and clinical applications. 130 chemical constituents isolated from IS have been reported, including flavones, sesquiterpenes, triterpenes, phenylpropanoids, organic acids and others.

[The volatile components of three radix et rhizoma asari].

Objective: To analyze and compare the volatile components of Asarum sieboldii Miq, Asarum himalaicum Hook. F. et Thoms and Asarum.

High-performance visible-light-driven SnS₂/SnO₂ nanocomposite photocatalyst prepared via in situ hydrothermal oxidation of SnS₂ nanoparticles.

SnS₂/SnO₂ nanocomposites with tunable SnO₂ contents were prepared via in situ hydrothermal oxidation of SnS₂ nanoparticles in 0.375-4.5 mass% H₂O₂ aqueous solutions at 180 °C for 0-12 h.

Facile fabrication of porous ZnO microspheres by thermal treatment of ZnS microspheres.

Porous ZnO microspheres with an average size of around 500 nm had been synthesized by thermal treatment of ZnS microspheres in an air atmosphere. The ZnS spheres had been synthesized at a low temperature of 100 degrees C by using L-cysteine (an ordinary amino acid) as a sulfur source with the assist of gelatin. By combining the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and Fourier transformation infrared spectra (FTIR), a structural and morphological characterization of the products was performed.
