Preparation of High-Temperature Resistant Aerogels by Incorporating Aluminum Sol into Composite Silica Sources Using Ambient Pressure Drying.

To reduce production costs and enhance the high-temperature resistance of SiO aerogels, an aluminum-doped silica aerogel (ASA) was successfully prepared using the sol-gel method and atmospheric drying method. The composite silica sources included TEOS and inexpensive acidic silica sol, while the aluminum source was aluminum sol. The study investigated the influence of the molar ratio of acidic silica sol to TEOS, Al/Si, and calcination temperature on the composition, structure, and high-temperature resistance of the ASA.

Halofuginone-guided nano-local therapy: Nano-thermosensitive hydrogels for postoperative metastatic canine mammary carcinoma with scar removal.

In female dogs, the highest morbidity and mortality rates cancer are the result of mammary adenocarcinoma, which presents with metastases in the lung. Other than early surgical removal, however, no special methods are available to treat mammary adenocarcinoma. Because human breast cancer and canine mammary carcinoma share clinical characteristics and heterogeneity, the canine model is a suitable spontaneous tumor model for breast cancer in humans.
