The effect of stored autologous blood transfusion on IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α and liver function recovery in patients undergoing liver cancer surgery.

Purpose: This study aim is to evaluate the application of stored autologous blood transfusion in liver cancer surgery and explore its impact on postoperative changes in inflammatory factors and liver function recovery.

Method: The study used a control group (CG) design and included 150 patients who underwent liver cancer surgery. While the observation group (OG) got autologous blood that had been preserved, the CG had a standard allogeneic blood transfusion.

Characterization of a tomato chlh mis-sense mutant reveals a new function of ChlH in fruit ripening.

Tomato fruit ripening is a complex developmental process that is important for fruit quality and shelf life. Many factors, including ethylene and several key transcription factors, have been shown to play important roles in the regulation of tomato fruit ripening. However, our understanding of the regulation of tomato fruit ripening is still limited.

GF-1 WFV satellite images based forest cover mapping in China supported by open land use/cover datasets.

The United Nations sustainable development agenda emphasizes the importance of forests. China's forests cover 5% of the world's forest area, significantly influencing global climate and ecology. In recent decades, China's forests have undergone notable changes.

Modeling ClO-NOM Reactions for Predicting Byproduct Formation and Micropollutant Degradation in Surface Water.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO) is a promising alternative disinfectant/oxidant to free chlorine in drinking water treatment, while it reacts with natural organic matter (NOM) to form free chlorine, chlorite ions (ClO), and chlorate ions (ClO) as byproducts. Predicting the ClO consumption and the formation of these byproducts using a kinetic model helps to balance the trade-off between disinfection/oxidation efficiency and byproduct formation. This study establishes a summative equation to describe the reaction between ClO and ClO-reactive moieties in the NOM (CRNOM).

Enhanced Dielectric Energy Storage Performance of Polyimide/γ-GaO Nanocomposites under Dual Trap Mechanisms.

The rapid development of advanced electronics, hybrid vehicles, etc. has imposed heightened requirements on the performance of polymer dielectrics. However, the energy density () of polymer dielectrics significantly decreases due to increased leakage current and dielectric loss under high temperatures and high electric fields.
