Transformation of Arsenic from Poison into Active Site by Construction of Unique AsO/CeO Interface for Stable NO Removal.

Arsenic in the flue gas has been widely reported as a common poison for SCR catalysts; however, an appropriate coping strategy is still lacking to improve the arsenic resistance performance. Herein, a unique AsO/CeO interface is constructed to transform arsenic from poison into active site with balanced acid-redox property, successfully achieving efficient NO removal. The optimized AsO/CeO exhibits high NO removal efficiency, four times that of the As-poisoned VO/TiO catalyst, and even comparable to the state-of-the-art SCR catalysts.

Prognostic importance of interleukin 2 receptor for patients with a history of cirrhotic variceal bleeding.

Objectives: Variceal hemorrhage is a fatal complication of cirrhosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of serum interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) as a predictive indicator in patients with a previous history of cirrhosis-related variceal bleeding.

Methods: A total of 340 cirrhotic patients who had experienced variceal bleeding from December 2016 to December 2018 were enrolled, and were randomly assigned to the modeling group and the validation group.

Extraordinary deactivation offset effect of zinc and arsenic on VO -WO/TiO catalysts: Like cures like.

The commercial VO -WO/TiO (VWTi) catalysts often suffer from a serious joint deactivation by multiple heavy metals in the flue gas for NO removal by NH-SCR. Herein, we report an extraordinary deactivation offset effect between Zn and As on VWTi with alleviation of the toxic effects of the heavy metals by "like cures like". With the As&Zn content of 4 wt%, VWTi-As&Zn exhibited over 97% NO conversion under a GHSV of 100,000 h and good SO/HO tolerance (> 93% NO conversion).

Experimental demonstration of adversarial examples in learning topological phases.

Classification and identification of different phases and the transitions between them is a central task in condensed matter physics. Machine learning, which has achieved dramatic success in a wide range of applications, holds the promise to bring unprecedented perspectives for this challenging task. However, despite the exciting progress made along this direction, the reliability of machine-learning approaches in experimental settings demands further investigation.

Practice patterns in endoscopic treatment for gastric varices: A Chinese survey.

Objectives: Gastric varices (GV), a common complication of liver cirrhosis, often cause serious consequences. However, the management of GV remains debated. In this study we aimed to explore the practice patterns of Chinese practitioners in GV treatment and discuss whether these patterns conform to the guidelines in China and around the world.

Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for Extramammary Paget Disease.

Importance: Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a frequently recurring malignant neoplasm with metastatic potential that presents in older adults on the genital, perianal, and axillary skin. Extramammary Paget disease can precede or occur along with internal malignant neoplasms.

Objective: To develop recommendations for the care of adults with EMPD.

No Recurrence in Primary Invasive Stage 1a and 1b Melanoma and Melanoma in Situ Treated With Serial Disk Staged Excision.

Background: Optimal surgical treatment modality for invasive melanoma (IM) and melanoma in situ (MIS) has been debated with proponents for standard wide local excision (WLE), serial disk staged excision, and Mohs micrographic surgery.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the recurrence rates and surgical margins of invasive stage 1 melanoma and MIS lesions using serial disk staged excision technique with rush permanent processing and "bread loafing" microscopic analysis.

Materials And Methods: Recurrence rates and surgical margins of 63 IM and 207 MIS at the University of California Dermatology Surgery Unit were retrospectively reviewed.

Sweet's syndrome and mucosal prolapse polyps in a male patient with ulcerative colitis.

Background: Sweet's syndrome (SS), also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare neutrophilic dermatitis characterized by pyrexia, neutrophilia and painful papulonodular lesions with a neutrophilic dermal infiltrate.

Case Presentation: We presented a case report of classical SS associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) and mucosal prolapse polyps (MPPs) in a male patient.

Conclusions: The particularity of this case is the occurrence of MPPs in a male patient with UC and classical SS.

Interaction Between Amorolfine and Voriconazole Against Fusarium species.

Fusarium species represent a range of fungal pathogens capable of causing diverse mycotic diseases. Relative to antibacterial drugs, few effective antifungal agents have been developed to date, and all are subject to significant limitations. As such, there is an urgent need to design novel antifungal treatments for infections caused by Fusarium spp.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Serve as Key Effector Molecules in the Protection Against Phialophora verrucosa.

Phialophora verrucosa (P. verrucosa) is a pathogen that can cause chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycosis. Recent evidence suggests that neutrophils can produce neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that can protect against invasive pathogens.

Perceiving Social-Emotional Volatility and Triggered Causes of COVID-19.

Health support has been sought by the public from online social media after the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In addition to the physical symptoms caused by the virus, there are adverse impacts on psychological responses. Therefore, precisely capturing the public emotions becomes crucial to providing adequate support.

Characteristics of Superficial Basal Cell Carcinomas Containing More Aggressive Subtypes on Final Histopathologic Diagnosis.

Background: The prognosis and treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are largely dependent on tumor subtype, which is typically determined by punch or shave biopsy. Data regarding concordance between BCC subtype on initial biopsy and final histopathology for Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) or excision with frozen sections (EFS) are limited.

Objectives: To determine the concordance between initial biopsy and final MMS or EFS subtyping of BCC.

Diet-induced obesity promotes infection by impairment of the innate antimicrobial defense function of dermal adipocyte progenitors.

Infections are a major complication of obesity, but the mechanisms responsible for impaired defense against microbes are not well understood. Here, we found that adipocyte progenitors were lost from the dermis during diet-induced obesity (DIO) in humans and mice. The loss of adipogenic fibroblasts from mice resulted in less antimicrobial peptide production and greatly increased susceptibility to infection.

Visible-Light Photoredox Catalyzed Double C-H Functionalization: Radical Cascade Cyclization of Ethers with Benzimidazole-Based Cyanamides.

A visible-light photoredox catalyzed radical cascade cyclization of simple ethers with cyanamides is developed at room temperature. This strategy involves sequential inert C-H/C-H functionalizations through intermolecular addition reaction of oxyalkyl radicals to -cyano groups followed by radical cyclization of iminyl radicals generated with C-2 aryl rings. This method allows for efficient synthesis of tetracyclic benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-]quinazolines.

Unveiling the Remarkable Arsenic Resistance Origin of Alumina Promoted Cerium-Tungsten Catalysts for NH-SCR.

The deactivation of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts by arsenic is a serious problem for NH-SCR. However, it is tough to design catalysts with good resistance to arsenic compared to other poisons such as alkali metal, SO, etc., because As not only deteriorates surface acidity but also redox property, causing excessive NO generation.

Urgent safety considerations for dermatologic surgeons in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dermatologic surgeons are at increased risk of contracting SARS-COV-2. At time of writing, there is no published standard for the role of pre-operative testing or the use of smoke evacuators, and personal protective equipment (PPE) in dermatologic surgery. Risks and safety measures in otolaryngology, plastic surgery, and ophthalmology are discussed.
