Purpose: To explore the effects of personalized oral stents in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment.
Methods: Totally 108 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with IMRT at Nanjing Gaochun People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected. Using a random number table method, the patients were divided into experimental group (n=54) using personalized oral stents and control group (n=54) using simple mouthpieces.
Low-carbon transformation path of power mix in the Yangtze River Delta region.
J Environ Manage
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) heavily relies on coal, leading to high carbon emissions, prompting a study aimed at optimizing its power mix and reducing carbon output in the energy sector.
- Using a Mixed-Integer-Linear Programming (MILP) model, the research explores inter-regional transmission and storage improvements to enhance power system flexibility and identifies key factors for low-carbon transformation.
- Findings suggest that stricter carbon emission regulations can lead to significant emissions reduction and a shift from fossil fuels to cleaner energy, revealing that higher regional development can lower overall costs and improve both economic and environmental outcomes through better energy storage and transmission.
Rationale & Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to lipid and metabolic abnormalities, but a comprehensive investigation of lipids, lipoprotein particles, and circulating metabolites associated with the risk of CKD has been lacking. We examined the associations of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics data with CKD risk in the UK Biobank study.
Study Design: Observational cohort study.
