Manganese oxide (MnO) based aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered to be a promising battery for grid-scale energy storage. However, they usually suffer from the great challenge of capacity attenuation due to Mn dissolution and irreversible structural transformation. Herein, full use of the shortcomings is made to design high-performance cathode-free AZIBs.

This review examines the formation and function of exosomal miRNAs in biological information transfer, explores the pathogenesis of vitiligo, and highlights the relationship between exosomal miRNAs and vitiligo. The aim is to deepen the understanding of how exosomal miRNAs influence immune imbalance, oxidative stress damage, melanocyte-keratinocyte interactions, and melanogenesis disorders in the development of vitiligo.

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) materials, despite their high theoretical capacity, exhibit significant performance degradation with increasing load due to their low conductivity. Simultaneously achieving both high capacity and high rate performance is challenging. Herein, we fabricated vertically aligned CuO nanowires in situ on the copper foam (CF) substrate by alkali-etching combined with the annealing process.

By simultaneously serving transit lines in opposite directions, it is particularly designed to save space resources and enhance service quality. To improve the operational efficiency of the bilateral BRT, this paper optimizes the operational performance of bilateral BRT with elastic demand.

However, unmodified TMDs exhibit low electrochemical activity and poor kinetics owing to the high binding energy and large hydration radius of divalent Zn. To overcome these limitations, an interlayer engineering strategy is proposed where K is preintercalated into K-MoS nanosheets, which then undergo in situ growth on carbon nanospheres (denoted as K-MoS@C nanoflowers).

On the one hand, considering that the traditional fatigue method of railway freight cars is based on damage as a parameter, the influence of stress waveform cannot be considered. On the other hand, physical experiments have the characteristics of lag, long period, and high cost. The full-scale physical test and virtual test of car body are carried out.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the perilymph metabolism by analyzing the 3D real IR MR findings in acoustic neuroma (AN) after intravenous administration of gadolinium (Gd).
Methods: Eleven patients (6 men and 5 women) diagnosed with AN were included, and 3D real IR MRI was performed 4 hours after intravenous Gd injection. The signal intensity and details of inner ear, tumor, and internal auditory canal (IAC) by MRI were analyzed.
Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in serious concerns in China and abroad. To investigate clinical features of confirmed and suspected patients with COVID-19 in west China, and to examine differences between severe versus non-severe patients.
Methods: Patients admitted for COVID-19 between January 21 and February 11 from fifteen hospitals in Sichuan Province, China were included.
Exploring innovative solutions to improve the healthcare of the aging and diseased population continues to be a global challenge. Among a number of strategies toward this goal, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) has gradually evolved into a promising approach to meet future needs of patients. TERM has recently received increasing attention in Asia, as evidenced by the markedly increased number of researchers, publications, clinical trials, and translational products.

The treatment and disposal of sewage sludge is a growing problem for sewage treatment plants. One method of disposal is to use sewage sludge as partial replacement for raw material in cement manufacture. Although this process has been well researched, little attention has been given to the thermal properties of cement that has had sewage sludge incorporated in the manufacturing process.
