Cyclodextrin Metal-Organic Framework Functionalized Carbon Materials with Optimized Interface Electronics and Selective Supramolecular Channels for High-Performance Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

During the reaction process in lithium-sulfur batteries, Lewis acidic lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) affect ion distribution and overall electrolyte stability, degrading battery performance and product distribution (e.g., LiS).

Oxygen Reduction Kinetics of Fe-N-C Single Atom Catalysts Boosted by Pyridinic N Vacancy for Temperature-Adaptive Zn-Air Batteries.

The design of temperature-adaptive Zn-air batteries (ZABs) with long life spans and high energy efficiencies is challenging owing to sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics and an unstable Zn/electrolyte interface. Herein, a quasi-solid-state ZAB is designed by combining atomically dispersed Fe-N-C catalysts containing pyridinic N vacancies (FeNC-V) with a polarized organo-hydrogel electrolyte. First-principles calculation predicts that adjacent V sites effectively enhance the covalency of Fe-N moieties and moderately weaken *OH binding energies, significantly boosting the ORR kinetics and stability.

Evaluating the Short-Term Clinical Efficacy of Magnetic Resonance Elastography in Patients with Budd-Chiari Syndrome.

Rationale And Objectives: To investigate the clinical relevance of liver stiffness (LS) in evaluating liver function properties in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) with different severities and LS variation before and after endovascular intervention.

Materials And Methods: Between December 2016 and March 2019, patients with a diagnosis of BCS were considered for enrollment consecutively in our study. Liver function of these patients was classified according to Child-Pugh grading standard before treatment.

Changes and significance of hydrodynamic parameters in Budd-Chiari syndrome with obstruction of the inferior vena cava prior to and after interventional therapy.

In recent years, the role of computational fluid dynamics for Budd-Chiari syndrome evaluation has become the focus of certain studies. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the role of computational fluid dynamics in Budd-Chiari syndrome with obstruction of the inferior vena cava (IVC). Magnetic resonance venous angiography was used to obtain original IVC and hepatic venous blood flow images from patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome.

Segmental Liver Stiffness Evaluated with Magnetic Resonance Elastography Is Responsive to Endovascular Intervention in Patients with Budd-Chiari Syndrome.

Objective: To assess segmental liver stiffness (LS) with MRI before and after endovascular intervention in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS).

Materials And Methods: Twenty-three patients (13 males and 10 females; mean age, 42.6 ± 12.

Diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography for Budd-Chiari syndrome: A meta-analysis.

In recent years, the role of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS) has been the focus of various clinical studies. The purpose of the present study was to perform a meta-analysis of the diagnostic performance of MRA in patients with BCS by using digital subtraction angiography as a reference method. The search strategy for relevant research articles was based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews, and literature databases (including PubMed, Medline and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and reference lists of retrieved studies published from 2000 to 2016 were searched.

[Case-control study on self-setting calcium phosphate cement and allograft for Sanders II-IV fractures of calcaneus].

Objective: To compare clinical results of Sanders II-IV fractures of calcaneus treated by self-setting calcium phosphate cement and allograft with locking reconstruction bone plate internal fixation.

Methods: From March 2012 to December 2015, 48 patients with Sanders II-IV fractures of calcaneus were treated by open reduction and internal fixation through L-shape incision, bone grafting were performed on reserved bone defect of calcaneal fracture. The patients were divided into self-setting calcium phosphate cement and allograft group according to different materials.
