Background: Morbihan disease is a rare cutaneous disorder characterized by non-pitting edema and erythema of the upper two-thirds of the face. In severe cases, orbital and facial contour changes may affect the visual field, and there is no guideline for the standard treatment of this disease. Existing treatment methods have been reported to be associated with long medication cycle, easy recurrence after drug withdrawal, and multiple adverse reactions.

Indirubin is considered to have promising potential in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). However, poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability limit its clinical application. We produced indirubin-loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (INPs) and characterized their drug encapsulation efficiency, drug-loading capacity, capacity to release indirubin and short-term physical stability.

Phosphate-based cathode materials attract much more attention and are widely used as energy storage materials based on their high economic efficiency and eco-friendly property, their stable potential plateau, and their high thermodynamic stability. A new phosphate family member, ZnFe(PO) (ZFP), was successfully explored and synthesized by the scalable high-temperature annealing method, followed by coating a thin carbon layer to optimize the electrotonic conductivity. This obtained ZFP featuring with a tunnel structure can be utilized as a cathode material for Zn ion extraction and insertion, in which Zn ion diffusion behaviors primarily contribute the specific capacity.

Background: As a chronic autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to oxidative stress, which may lead to the occurrence and persistence of inflammation in RA. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential antioxidant effect of triptolide in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model.

Methods: We examined the severity of arthritis, levels of local and systemic oxidative stress, periarticular bone erosion and weight of organs in CIA rats treated with triptolide.

With the development of electric vehicles involving lithium ion batteries as energy storage devices, the demand for lithium ion batteries in the whole industry is increasing, which is bound to lead to a large number of lithium ion batteries in the problem of waste, recycling and reuse. If not handled properly, it will certainly have a negative impact on the environment and resources. Current commercial lithium ion batteries mainly contain transition metal oxides or phosphates, aluminum, copper, graphite, organic electrolytes containing harmful lithium salts, and other chemicals.

Photosynthesis controls crop growth and yield, and differences in planting methods and soil moisture can significantly affect the photosynthetic characteristics of crops. Grain filling stage and milking stage are two important stages of maize from flowering to maturity, which are essential for maize grain formation and dry matter accumulation. The effects of different mulching and drip irrigation patterns on the photosynthetic characteristics and maize yield at grain filling and milking stages were investigated in a field experiment in the Hetao Irrigation District, Inner Mongolia.

Background: Rates of caesarean section are progressively increasing in many parts of the world. As a result of psychosocial factors there has been an increasing tendency for pregnant women without justifiable medical indications for caesarean section to ask for this procedure in China. A critical examination of this issue in relation to maternal outcomes is important.

Unlabelled: Study on the effect of a community-based early education and service program regarding intelligence

Objective: To assess the effect on a community-based early education and service programs regarding the development of infants' intelligence.

Methods: A community-based intervention study was carried out among 359 infants and their families. Base-line survey were carried out when infants reached their one month, where after infants and their families in the intervention group received instructions and services focused on baby fostering and intelligence development.

Objective: To analyze polysomnogram characteristics of children with suspected obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to explore the role of obstructive apnea index (OAI), apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and arousal index for pediatric OSAHS diagnosis.

Methods: Sixty one suspected pediatric OSAHS cases had overnight polysomnography for at least 8 h in a quiet, dark room. Sleep studies were interpreted according to diagnostic criteria of Guangzhou Children's Hospital (Obstructive apnea was defined as cessation of nose and mouth airflow, while the respiratory effort continues for any duration.
