Traditional Chinese medicine ointment combined with tuina therapy in treatment of pain and swelling after total knee arthroplasty.

Background: The most effective treatment for knee joint pain is total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but the risk of pain and swelling in patients after surgery is high. Ice application, ankle pump exercise and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers are the primary clinical treatments after surgery. However, long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers can easily cause gastrointestinal damage.

Predesign of Catalytically Active Sites via Stable Coordination Cluster Model System for Electroreduction of CO to Ethylene.

Purposefully designing the well-defined catalysts for the selective electroreduction of CO to C H is an extremely important but challenging work. In this work, three crystalline trinuclear copper clusters (Cu -X, X=Cl , Br , NO ) have been designed, containing three active Cu sites with the identical coordination environment and appropriate spatial distance, delivering high selectivity for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO to C H . The highest faradaic efficiency of Cu -X for CO -to-C H conversion can be adjusted from 31.

Implanting Numerous Hydrogen-Bonding Networks in a Cu-Porphyrin-Based Nanosheet to Boost CH Selectivity in Neutral-Media CO Electroreduction.

The exploration of novel systems for the electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CO RR) for the production of hydrocarbons like CH remains a giant challenge. Well-designed electrocatalysts with advantages like proton generation/transferring and intermediate-fixating for efficient CO RR are much preferred yet largely unexplored. In this work, a kind of Cu-porphyrin-based large-scale (≈1.

Rapid Production of Metal-Organic Frameworks Based Separators in Industrial-Level Efficiency.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) based mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have received significant attention in applications such as gas separation, sensing, and energy storage. However, the mass production of MOF-based MMMs with retained porosity remains a longstanding challenge. Herein, an in situ heat-assisted solvent-evaporation method is described to facilely produce MOF-based MMMs.

Chloroplast-like porous bismuth-based core-shell structure for high energy efficiency CO electroreduction.

Electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR) to formate is economically viable considering the energy input and market value. Through learning nature, a series of chloroplast-like porous bismuth-based core-shell (CPBC) materials have been designed. In these materials, the porous carbon can enrich and transfer CO to the core-shell Bi@BiO in CO reduction process, during which BiO layer can be transformed into activated metastable layer to efficiently convert CO into formate and Bi can provide abundant electrons.
