Peroxymonosulfate activation by Fe-Mn Co-doped biochar for carbamazepine degradation.

Antibiotics in aquatic environments present a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Activation of carbon-catalyzed persulfate is a prospective approach for oxidizing antibiotics. There is a pressing need for inexpensive carbon catalysts of high quality.

Synergistic coupling of interface ohmic contact and LSPR effects over Au/BiOBr nanosheets for visible-light-driven photocatalytic CO reduction to CO.

The challenge of synergistically optimizing different mechanisms limits the further improvement of plasmon-mediated photocatalytic activities. In this work, an Au/BiOBr composite, combining an interface ohmic contact and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), is prepared by a thermal reduction method. The LSPR effect induces the local resonance energy transfer effect and the local electric field enhancement effect, while the interface ohmic contact forms a stronger interface electric field.

Effects of air pollution on emergency visits for acute otitis media among children: a case-crossover study in Chongqing, China.

Background: Many epidemiological studies have demonstrated the short-term effects of air pollution on acute otitis media (AOM) in children, but few studies have explored the association between AOM and air pollution in Chinese children. This study aimed to analyze the effects of air pollution on emergency visits for AOM among children through a time-stratified case-crossover design in Chongqing, China.

Methods: The outpatient medical records of children from nine main urban districts who presented with AOM between December 22, 2018 and December 21, 2021 were collected from the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.

Correlative Factors for Types of Tracheobronchial Foreign Bodies Encountered in Children.

Objective: To characterize the correlative factors for types of tracheobronchial foreign bodies (TFBs) encountered in children.

Methods: All included patients diagnosed with TFB underwent rigid bronchoscopy as the first surgery in the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. The data of 1026 patients aged 0-18 years were retrospectively collected between February 2019 and January 2022.

Analysis of clinical features and prognostic correlation factors of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical features and prognostic correlation factors of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children (CSSNHL).

Methods: From January 2016 to December 2021, the clinical data of hospitalized children presenting with sudden sensorineural hearing loss, including age, gender, the ear of onset, onset of treatment, concomitant symptoms, the degree of hearing loss, and audiogram curve type, were retrospectively collected and the effective rate of treatment and the factors affecting prognosis were statistically analyzed.

Results: The effective rate of CSSNHL was 29.

Clinical features and prognostic factors of children with profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and factors affecting the prognosis of children with profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 147 children with profound SSNHL who received inpatient treatment at our department from January 2016 to January 2021. All children were administered with systemic steroid therapy and/or intratympanic steroid (ITS) treatment for 2 weeks.

Analysis of the Risk Factors Associated With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Chinese Children.

Objective: The present study was developed to explore risk factors related to the incidence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children.

Methods: The present study enrolled pediatric patients who admitted to our department for snoring and/or open-mouth breathing. All children completed a questionnaire and underwent physical examination and polysomnography (PSG).

Tracheobronchial Foreign Bodies in Children: Experience From 1,328 Patients in China.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of tracheobronchial foreign body (FB) cases in a pediatric Chinese population.

Methods: The clinical data of pediatric patients aged 0-18 years old diagnosed with a tracheobronchial FB in the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between September 2018 and August 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: Among 1,328 included cases, 92.

Relationship research between auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder and exchange transfusion in neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia.

Objective: To explore the effects of exchange transfusion on auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) in neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia (SH).

Methods: The clinical data of 2216 SH neonates who met the standard of exchange transfusion and 732 non severe-hyperbilirubinemia (NSH) neonates in the same period who did not require exchange transfusion in the neonatology department of Childrens' Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2010 and December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. In addition, the SH neonates were further divided into the exchange transfusion group and photography group.
