Bifunctional WC-Supported RuO Nanoparticles for Robust Water Splitting in Acidic Media.

We report the strong catalyst-support interaction in WC-supported RuO nanoparticles (RuO -WC NPs) anchored on carbon nanosheets with low loading of Ru (4.11 wt.%), which significantly promotes the oxygen evolution reaction activity with a η of 347 mV and a mass activity of 1430 A g , eight-fold higher than that of commercial RuO (176 A g ).

Cold tolerance and silencing of three cold-tolerance genes of overwintering Chinese white pine larvae.

The values of physiological indices and the enzymes activities involved in the overwintering stage were studied in D. armandi larvae in each month from October 2014 to March 2015. The sorbitol, trehalose and glycerol values initially tended to increase as the ambient temperature decreased, before declining until the end of the winter.

[Effect of Acupuncture on Prognosis and Immune Function of Sepsis Patients].

Objective: To study the effect of acupuncture on the immune function of sepsis patients.

Methods: Ninety sepsis patients were assigned to the control group, the thymosin a1 group, and the acupuncture treatment group according to random digit table, 30 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were treated according to the guideline of Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC).

[Effect of acupuncture on acute left heart failure by PiCCO technique].

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture on acute heart failure (AHF) patients.

Methods: Totally 60 patients who were diagnosed as AHF were assigned to the acupuncture group and the control group, 30 in each group. Those in the control group received inotropic agents, preload and afterload reducing therapy, anti-infection and so on.

[Analysis of drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii and its related factors in ICU].

Objective: To investigate drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii and its related factors in intensive care unit (ICU), and to provide clinical basis for prevention and treatment.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted. Clinical data was collected from 1 050 patients in ICU of Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2011 to June 2013.

[Emergency bedside temporary cardiac pacing through the left subclavicular vein guided by pacemaker impulse].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and merits of emergency bedside temporary cardiac pacing through left subclavicular vein guided by pacemaker impulse.

Methods: The left subclavicular vein was punctured with Seldinger technique for insertion of a cannula. After setting the rate of pacemaker at 20 beat/min above the patients' spontaneous heart rate with output current of 5 mA and sensing voltage of 3 mV, the electrode was inserted through the cannula until the electrocardiograph displaying pulsed signal and pacing rhythm.

[Intensive care and treatment of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome].

Objective: To investigate the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis and treatment of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).

Methods: The clinical data of 20 OHSS patients were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: Severe OHSS occurred after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for superovulation.
