A three-dimensional Mn-based MOF as a high-performance supercapacitor electrode.

Developing new high-performance electrode materials for improving the energy density of supercapacitors is an important task. Herein, a new three-dimensional (3D) metal-orgainc framework (MOF) [Mn(BGPD)(HO)] (Mn-BGPD; BGPD = ,'-bis(glycinyl)pyromellitic diimide) was synthesized. When Mn-BGPD is used as the electrode material of supercapacitors, in a three-electrode setup, it shows an outstanding specific capacitance of 832.

Management of high-output cardiac failure caused by head and neck AVMs: Percutaneous suture-assisted ethanol and coil embolotherapy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the treatment technique, outcomes, and complications of Schobinger stage IV head and neck arteriovenous malformations (HNAVMs) with associated high-output cardiac failure (HOCF) using ethanol and coils with the percutaneous suture technique.

Methods: From January 2015 to December 2019, 19 patients who had HNAVMs with associated HOCF were treated first with a percutaneous suture of the remarkably dilated dominant drainage vein (RDDOV) and subsequent embolization with coils and ethanol. The percutaneous suture of RDDOV was preferred to be performed, followed by the deployment of coils and the injection of absolute ethanol transarterial approach, direct puncture approach, or both of them.

Dietary magnesium intake is protective in patients with periodontitis.

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the oral cavity characterized by inflammation of the periodontal tissue and resorption of the alveolar bone, which has a high incidence and is the main cause of tooth loss in adults. In addition to its role in promoting osteogenesis, magnesium also has a role in regulating the inflammatory response, both systemically and locally. There is growing evidence that magnesium is an important factor in maintaining the normal functioning of the body's immune system.

Construction and Validation of a m7G-Related Gene-Based Prognostic Model for Gastric Cancer.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive system. Chinese cases of GC account for about 40% of the global rate, with approximately 1.66 million people succumbing to the disease each year.

Clinical Implications of Necroptosis Genes Expression for Cancer Immunity and Prognosis: A Pan-Cancer Analysis.

Background: Necroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, is increasingly being investigated for its controversial role in tumorigenesis and progression. Necroptosis suppresses tumor formation and tumor development by killing tumor cells; however, the necrotic cells also promote tumor formation and tumor development the immunosuppressive effect of necroptosis and inflammatory response caused by cytokine release. Thus, the exact mechanism of necroptosis in pan-cancer remains unknown.

Trans-ophthalmic arterial ethanol embolotherapy for arteriovenous malformations: a single-center experience.

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM)-derived ophthalmic artery (OphA) branches are not common, and their management is very challenging. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of Trans OphA ethanol embolotherapy for these lesions. We retrospectively reviewed 26 patients with AVMs fed by OphA, who underwent transOphA embolization using ethanol from February, 2015 to December, 2019.

[Hydraulics and non-structural carbohydrate contents of under different environmental conditions in Shenyang City, China].

is an important urban ornamental tree species, but poor growth and damages often occur in urban environments. As a street tree species, the decline and death of is particularly frequent, with the relevant physiological mechanism being unclear. In this study, we compared hydraulic characteristics, non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) contents and health status between trees growing along the streets and those in parks in Shenyang City.

Association of Angiogenesis Gene Expression With Cancer Prognosis and Immunotherapy Efficacy.

Several new blood vessels are formed during the process of tumor development. These new blood vessels provide nutrients and water for tumour growth, while spreading tumour cells to distant areas and forming new metastases in different parts of the body. The available evidence suggests that tumour angiogenesis is closely associated with the tumour microenvironment and is regulated by a variety of pro-angiogenic factors and/or angiogenic inhibitors.

A Novel Model Based on Necroptosis-Related Genes for Predicting Prognosis of Patients With Prostate Adenocarcinoma.

: Necroptosis is a newly recognized form of cell death. Here, we applied bioinformatics tools to identify necroptosis-related genes using a dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, then constructed a model for prognosis of patients with prostate cancer. RNA sequence (RNA-seq) data and clinical information for Prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD) patients were obtained from the TCGA portal (http://tcga-data.

Purpose: To summarize a 10-year, single-institution experience with ethanol embolization of nasal arteriovenous malformations (NAVMs) in 52 patients.

Patients And Methods: The present work was a retrospective study of 52 patients (aged between 1 and 67 years) with NAVMs who were treated with ethanol embolization between August 2009 and August 2019. The diagnosis of NAVMs was established based on clinical and imaging studies including ultrasound, computer tomography angiography, and digital subtract angiography.

Complex vascular anomalies and tissue overgrowth of limbs associated with increased skin temperature and peripheral venous dilatation: parks weber syndrome or PROS?

PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) is a series of congenital, sporadic disorders that are associated with segmental overgrowth phenotypes and postzygotic, somatic gene mutations in the PIK3CA-ATK-mTOR pathway. The variability and overlapping phenotypes between PROS and other complex vascular malformations make the differential diagnosis confusing and challenging. PROS should be considered for the differential diagnosis with other complex vascular malformations and syndromes with a tissue overgrowth phenotype, such as Parkes-Weber syndrome (PWS).

LASSO Cox regression model was used to construct a three-pyroptosis-related gene signature, and validation was performed using an experimental cohort.

Epigenetic regulation of VENTXP1 suppresses tumor proliferation via miR-205-5p/ANKRD2/NF-kB signaling in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

An increasing number of studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in tumor development and progression. However, their involvement in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains largely unknown. Epigenetic regulation is one major mechanism utilized by cancer cells to control lncRNA expression.

Kaposiform haemangioendotheliomas (KHEs) complicated by the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) are rare and severe neoplastic lesions often associated with locally aggressive disease, consumption coagulopathy and high mortality rates. Current regimens have yet to achieve a satisfactory therapeutic effect. Thus, an effective and minimally invasive approach for treating complex KHE/KMP cases is necessary for clinical management.

Interferon-alpha therapy for refractory kaposiform hemangioendothelioma: a single-center experience.

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a relatively rare vascular tumor with an aggressive and infiltrating nature. Previous studies have revealed an exclusive relationship between KHE and Kasabach-Merritt Phenomenon (KMP), which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. No universally accepted treatment modality exists for refractory KHE with or without KMP.
