Liquid Exfoliation and Electrochemical Properties of WS₂ Nanosheets.

Commercial WS2 powders were exfoliated in sodium dodecyl sulfate solution with a combination of ball-milling and sonication. WS2 nanosheets can be uniformly dispersed in the solution. The layers and thicknesses of WS2 nanosheets could be tailored via changing the ball-milling speed.

Glucose transporter-1 as an independent prognostic marker for cancer: a meta-analysis.

Objective: Glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) as the major glucose transporter present in human cells is found overexpressed in a proportion of human malignancies. This meta-analysis is attempted to assess the prognostic significance of GLUT-1 for survival in various cancers.

Materials And Methods: We conducted an electronic search using the databases PubMed, Embase and Web of Science, from inception to Oct 20th, 2016.

Exploring the chemopreventive properties and perspectives of baicalin and its aglycone baicalein in solid tumors.

Solid tumors contain a huge mass of malignant tumors other than hematological malignancies. Novel therapies based on bio-safe agents against solid tumors are urgently required. Baicalin and its aglycone baicalein, the major bioactive flavones derived from Scutellaria baicalensis, have potential roles in the management of cancer.

Finite element analysis of multi-piece post-crown restoration using different types of adhesives.

The multi-piece post-crown technique is more effective in restoring residual root than other restoration techniques. Various types of adhesives have different material properties that affect restoration. Therefore, the choice of adhesive is particularly important for patients.
