P53 status combined with MRI findings for prognosis prediction of single hepatocellular carcinoma.

Object: To develop and validate a nomogram for predicting recurrence in individuals suffering single hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative hepatectomy.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 189 patients with single HCC undergoing curative resection in our center were randomized into training and validation cohorts. P53 status was determined using immunohistochemistry.

Stable Harsh-Temperature Lithium Metal Batteries Enabled by Tailoring Solvation Structure in Ether Electrolytes.

For lithium metal batteries (LMBs), the elevated operating temperature results in severe capacity fading and safety issues due to unstable electrode-electrolyte interphases and electrolyte solvation structures. Therefore, it is crucial to construct advanced electrolytes capable of tolerating harsh environments to ensure stable LMBs. Here, we proposed a stable localized high-concentration electrolyte (LHCE) by introducing the highly solvating power solvent diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DGDME).

Ultra-stable Li||LiFePO batteries via advanced designing of localized high concentration electrolyte.

The High-Performance Li-LiFePO batteries (Li||LFP) realized by highly compatible electrolytes are considered to be the breakthrough point to achieve the stability and high energy density of lithium-ion battery (LIB) systems. However, the current prevailing commercial electrolytes can hardly be compatible with both LFP cathode and lithium anode simultaneously to an ideal extent. On this very note, we designed an advanced ether-based localized high concentration electrolyte (abbreviated as "ADE"), which exhibits extreme compatibility with LFP-based lithium metal batteries (Fb-LMBs).

A flexible and highly sensitive nonenzymatic glucose sensor based on DVD-laser scribed graphene substrate.

Flexible and implantable glucose biosensors are emerging technologies for continuous monitoring of blood-glucose of diabetes. Developing a flexible conductive substrates with high active surface area is critical for advancing the technology. Here, we successfully fabricate a flexible and highly sensitive nonenzymatic glucose by using DVD-laser scribed graphene (LSG) as a flexible conductively substrate.

Asthma status is an independent risk factor for herpes zoster in children: a population-based cohort study.

Backgrounds: Literatures regarding the effects of childhood asthma on the risk of herpes zoster (HZ) is very limited. The aim of this study is to investigate the risks of children developing HZ with asthma.

Methods: From the National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified 300,649 patients who had asthma between 2000 and 2007 as an asthma cohort.

Layered-MnO₂ Nanosheet Grown on Nitrogen-Doped Graphene Template as a Composite Cathode for Flexible Solid-State Asymmetric Supercapacitor.

Flexible solid-state supercapacitors provide a promising energy-storage alternative for the rapidly growing flexible and wearable electronic industry. Further improving device energy density and developing a cheap flexible current collector are two major challenges in pushing the technology forward. In this work, we synthesize a nitrogen-doped graphene/MnO2 nanosheet (NGMn) composite by a simple hydrothermal method.

Azobenzene-containing molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres with photo- and thermoresponsive template binding properties in pure aqueous media by atom transfer radical polymerization.

A facile, general, and highly efficient approach to obtain azobenzene (azo)-containing molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) microspheres with both photo- and thermoresponsive template binding properties in pure aqueous media is described for the first time, which involves the first synthesis of "living" azo-containing MIP microspheres with surface-immobilized alkyl halide groups via atom transfer radical precipitation polymerization (ATRPP) and their subsequent modification via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm). The successful grafting of poly(NIPAAm) (PNIPAAm) brushes onto the obtained MIP microspheres was confirmed by FT-IR, SEM, water dispersion stability and static contact angle studies, and template binding experiments. The introduction of PNIPAAm brushes onto the azo-containing MIP microspheres significantly improved their surface hydrophilicity and imparted thermoresponsive properties to them, leading to their pure water-compatible and thermoresponsive template binding properties.

[The effect of treating obstructive disease of lacrimal passage by lacrimal plastic operation with Nd:YAG laser].

Objective: To study the therapeutic effects of Nd:YAG laser on obstructive diseases of the lacrimal passage.

Methods: 693 eyes in 603 cases with obstructive diseases of lacrimal passage, including obstruction of lacrimal puncta (23 eyes), lacrimal duct (192 eyes), nasolacrimal duct (227 eyes), chronic dacryocystitis (231 eyes), and traumatic laceration of lacrimal canaliculus (20 eyes), were treated by lacrimal plastic operation with Nd:YAG laser and the therapeutic effects were compared among the groups.

Results: The cure rates and effective rates of the five diseases were 86.
