Diabetic ketoacidosis induced by nivolumab in invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Nivolumab is the first programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1) inhibitor approved in China. Compared with chemotherapy, nivolumab has shown advantages of good efficacy and safety in the treatment of a variety of tumors. However, due to its short time of use in China and lack of safety experience, clinical understanding of its adverse reactions has not been sufficiently elucidated.

sp. nov., isolated from soil in a karst cave, and emended description of the genus .

A novel actinomycete, designated strain S6R2A4-9, was isolated from a soil sample collected from a karst cave in Henan Province, China, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. This isolate grew optimally at 25-28 °C, pH 6.5-8.

[Raman spectroscopic quantitative analysis of cluster structure of binary alkali silicate glasses].

A calibration method for Raman spectroscopic quantitative analysis of binary alkaline silicate glasses is proposed. By applying ab initio quantum chemistry simulation, Raman optical activities (ROA) of various cluster units consisting of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra (SiOT) with different number of non-bridging oxygen (NBO) can be obtained. Thus, experimental results could be calibrated in order to reflect and represent directly the true relative density of various silicon-oxygen tetrahedra existing inside the silicate glasses.

[Temperature dependent Raman spectra and micro-structure study of cuspidine in solid and liquid phases].

Cuspidine plays an important role in conventional metallurgical continuous casting mould flux. An UV laser source was used to record its ambient and high temperature Raman spectra (temperature range: 298-1 723 K) combined with a charge coupled device (CCD) detector. Both increasing and decreasing processes as well as characteristic spectra and shifts in wavenumber were observed.
