A systematic review and meta-analysis of acupuncture combined with Tuina in the treatment of insomnia.

Background: Insomnia is a sleep disorder with insufficient sleep time or/and poor sleep quality. Relevant epidemiological studies have shown that insomnia symptoms occur in about 35% to 50% of the adult population, and it is one of the most common diseases in the elderly. Patients who often suffer from insomnia are prone to symptoms such as fatigue, weakened cognitive function, depression, and even mental illness, which bring serious physical and mental damage to individuals and a heavy economic burden to social medical care and families.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, excluding atypical lesion, is a predictor of renal outcome in patients with membranous nephropathy: a retrospective analysis of 716 cases.

Background: Focal segmental lesions (FSLs) are not uncommon in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). The reported percentage of IMN patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) lesions varies widely between studies. The objective of this study was to differentiate atypical FSL (aFSL) from typical FSGS in IMN and to analyse the clinicopathological predictors of primary outcome of IMN patients.

Ultrafast Carbon Dioxide Sorption Kinetics Using Morphology-Controllable Lithium Zirconate.

It was reported that the main obstacle of LiZrO as high-temperature CO absorbents is the very slow CO sorption kinetics, which are ascribed to the gradual formation of compact zirconia and carbonate shells along with inner unreacted lithium zirconate cores; accordingly, the "sticky" Li and O ions have to travel a long distance through the solid shells by diffusion. We report here that three-dimensional interconnected nanoporous LiZrO exhibiting ultrafast kinetics is promising for CO sorption. Specifically, nanoporous LiZrO (LZ-NP) exhibited a rapid sorption rate of 10.
