Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how low albumin levels (hypoalbuminemia) affect patients with chronic periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) and their treatment results.
- Out of 387 patients, 22.2% had low albumin levels during the first stage of surgery, and this number dropped to 4.7% during the second stage.
- Older patients and those infected with certain bacteria had a higher chance of having low albumin, which was linked to a greater risk of treatment failure.
Article Synopsis
- Electrochemical CO transformation is a promising approach to convert renewable energy into storable chemicals while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) single atom catalysts (SAC) show potential for this process, but achieving both high catalytic activity and product selectivity is challenging.
- This study combines density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning (ML) to rapidly identify effective SACs, resulting in the selection of 33 candidates with optimal performance, including Mn-NC, Pt-NC, and Au-NC, to enhance CO reduction efficiency.
The transfer of the concept of chirality from molecules to synthesized nanomaterials has attracted attention amongst multidisciplinary teams. Here we demonstrate heterogeneous nucleation and anisotropic accumulation of Au nanoparticles on multilayer MoS planes to form chiroptically functional nanomaterials. Thiol amino acids with chiral conformations modulate asymmetric growth of gold nanoarchitectures on seeds of highly faceted Au/MoS heterostructures.

Methods: From January 2002 to December 2013, 470 patients in Chinese PLA General Hospital received revision hip arthroplasties using MP stems. Among them, 246 patients were followed for an average of 5.
Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) technology has been developed to improve alignment when implanting total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and is a new focus in the orthopaedic community. Current controversial data concerning PSI are discussed. A systematic review to compare PSI with conventional instrumentation and assess the radiographic outcomes was performed.

It has been shown that 3C (pro) cysteine protease of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) cleaves MAVS to inhibit type I IFNs induction. Other workers also found that MAVS knock-out mice suffered CVB3 susceptibility and severe histopathological change.
