A Supramolecular Deep Eutectic Electrolyte Enhancing Interfacial Stability and Solution Phase Discharge in Li-O Batteries.

Li-O batteries (LOBs) have gained widespread recognition for their exceptional energy densities. However, a major challenge faced by LOBs is the lack of appropriate electrolytes that can effectively balance reactant transport, interfacial compatibility, and non-volatility. To address this issue, a novel supramolecular deep eutectic electrolyte (DEE) has been developed, based on synergistic interaction between Li-bonds and H-bonds through a combination of lithium salt (LiTFSI), acetamide (Ace) and boric acid (BA).

Synergistic Activation of Electric Furnace Ferronickel Slag by Mechanical Grinding and Chemical Activators to Prepare Cementitious Composites.

The use of electric furnace ferronickel slag (FNS) as a supplementary cementitious material is the current focus of research. This study investigates the effect of mechanical grinding and chemical additives on the activity excition of FNS, as well as the associated synergistic mechanisms. This study shows that the addition of triethanolamine (TEA) increases the fine-grained content in FNS powder, which facilitates the depolymerization of FNS and the early hydration of aluminum tricalcium.

LiPF Induces Phosphorization of Garnet-Type Solid-State Electrolyte for Stable Lithium Metal Batteries.

Garnet solid electrolyte Li La Zr Ta O (LLZTO) is an excellent inorganic ceramic-type solid electrolyte; however, the presence of Li CO impurities on its surface hinders Li-ion transport and increases the interface impedance. In contrast to traditional methods of mechanical polishing, acid corrosion, and high-temperature reduction for removing Li CO , herein, a straightforward "waste-to-treasure" strategy is proposed to transform Li CO into Li PO and LiF in LiPF solution under 60 °C. It is found that the formation of Li PO during LLZTO pretreatment facilitates rapid Li-ion transport and enhances ionic conductivity, and the LLZTO/PAN composite polymer electrolyte shows the highest Li-ion transference number of 0.

[Effectiveness of preemptive analgesia with imrecoxib on analgesia after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a randomized controlled study].

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of preemptive analgesia with imrecoxib on analgesia after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Methods: A total of 160 patients with ACL injuries who met the selection criteria and were admitted between November 2020 and August 2021 were selected and divided into 4 groups according to the random number table method (=40). Group A began to take imrecoxib 3 days before operation (100 mg/time, 2 times/day); group B began to take imrecoxib 1 day before operation (100 mg/time, 2 times/day); group C took 200 mg of imrecoxib 2 hours before operation (5 mL of water); and group D did not take any analgesic drugs before operation.

Lithium Salt Dissociation Promoted by 18-Crown-6 Ether Additive toward Dilute Electrolytes for High Performance Lithium Oxygen Batteries.

Lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) are well known for their high energy density. However, their reversibility and rate performance are challenged due to the sluggish oxygen reduction/evolution reactions (ORR/OER) kinetics, serious side reactions and uncontrollable Li dendrite growth. The electrolyte plays a key role in transport of Li and reactive oxygen species in LOBs.

Development of a bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and TIGIT with optimal cytotoxicity.

Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) are two potential targets for cancer immunotherapy, early clinical studies showed the combination therapy of anti-PD-L1 and anti-TIGIT had synergistic efficacy both in the terms of overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS). It is rational to construct bispecific antibodies targeting PD-L1 and TIGIT, besides retaining the efficacy of the combination therapy, bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) can provide a new mechanism of action, such as bridging between tumor cells and T/NK cells. Here, we developed an IgG1-type bispecific antibody with optimal cytotoxicity.

[Experience of 's three-clear method by stages for herpes zoster on the head and face].

The clinical experience of 's three-clear method by stages for herpes zoster on the head and face is summarized. The strong-clear method (blood-letting therapy) combined with mild-clear method (acupuncture with filiform needle) are applied for the acute pain period and subacute pain period of herpes zoster on the head and face. For acute pain period, the bleeding volume should be large (more than 10 mL), and treatment is given once every other day; for the subacute pain period, the bleeding volume should be 5-10 mL, and treatment is given 2-3 times a week.

Evolution and Development of Ilizarov Technique in the Treatment of Infected Long Bone Nonunion with or without Bone Defects.

The treatment of infected bone nonunion and bone defects is a considerable challenge in the orthopedics field. The standard clinical therapy methods include local free bone transplantation, vascularized bone graft, and the Ilizarov technique; the first two are controversial due to the iatrogenic self-injury. The Ilizarov bone transport technique has been widely used to treat infected bone nonunion and bone defects, and good clinical effect has been demonstrated.

A lingering mouthwash with sustained antibiotic release and biofilm eradication for periodontitis.

Dental plaque biofilms are believed to be one of the principal virulence factors in periodontitis resulting in tooth loss. Traditional mouthwashes are limited due to the continuous flow of saliva and poor drug penetration ability in the biofilm. Herein, we fabricated an antibiotic delivery platform based on natural polysaccharides (chitosan and cyclodextrin) as a novel mouthwash for the topical cavity delivery of minocycline.

Porous copper- and lithium-doped nano-hydroxyapatite composite scaffold promotes angiogenesis and bone regeneration in the repair of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH) is a common refractory disease. In the present study, we aimed to synthesize the nano-hydroxyapatite-copper-lithium (Cu-Li-nHA) composite porous scaffold to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis functions to repair GIONFH by regulating the Wnt/-catenin and HIF-1/VEGF pathways. The physicochemical property of the scaffold was characterized and their osteogenic and angiogenic effects were tested through a serial of experimentsand.

Positive charge in the complementarity-determining regions of synthetic nanobody prevents aggregation.

In the past, specificity and affinity were the priority for synthetic antibody library. However, therapeutic antibodies need good stability for medical use. Through carefully adjust the chemical diversity in CDRs, one hopes to design a synthetic antibody library with good developability.

Synergistic antitumor effect of the anti-ErbB2 antibodies trastuzumab and H2-18 on trastuzumab-resistant gastric cancer cells.

Trastuzumab resistance is a severe problem in the treatment of ErbB2-amplified cancer. Although trastuzumab plus pertuzumab is able to partly overcome trastuzumab resistance in ErbB2-overexpressing cancer, its antitumor efficacy remains limited. The present study investigated the antitumor activity of the combination of trastuzumab with H2-18, which is an antibody targetinsg ErbB2 domain I.

Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine plus narrow-band medium-wave ultraviolet B radiation on moderate-to-severe psoriasis vulgaris in a case series.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy combined with ultraviolet B light therapy in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Methods: Patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis (skin lesion area > 10% of the body surface area) for 2 consecutive years were treated with TCM (oral and external use of herbal medicines, acupuncture, and herbal bathing) and narrow-band medium-wave ultraviolet B light treatment for 12 weeks. The treatment effect was evaluated based on the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), the achievement of a 50% reduction in the PASI (PASI50), the achievement of a 75% reduction in the PASI (PASI75), pruritus score, Dermatology Life Quality Index, and safety.
