A Dual Salt/Dual Solvent Electrolyte Enables Ultrahigh Utilization of Zinc Metal Anode for Aqueous Batteries.

Rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries are promising in next-generation sustainable energy storage. However, the low zinc (Zn) metal anode reversibility and utilization in aqueous electrolytes due to Zn corrosion and poor Zn deposition kinetics significantly hinder the development of Zn-ion batteries. Here, a dual salt/dual solvent electrolyte composed of Zn(BF)/Zn(Ac) in water/TEGDME (tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether) solvents to achieve reversible Zn anode at an ultrahigh depth of discharge (DOD) is developed.

Combination of Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Left Atrial Low-Voltage Areas Predicting Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence after Radiofrequency Ablation.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia, with radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) being first-line therapy. However, the high rate of post-ablation recurrence necessitates the identification of predictors for recurrence risk. Left atrial low-voltage areas (LA-LVASs), reflecting atrial fibrosis, have been confirmed to be related to recurrence of AF.

Dysfunctional circadian clock accelerates cancer metastasis by intestinal microbiota triggering accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

Circadian homeostasis in mammals is a key intrinsic mechanism for responding to the external environment. However, the interplay between circadian rhythms and the tumor microenvironment (TME) and its influence on metastasis are still unclear. Here, in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), disturbances of circadian rhythm and the accumulation of monocytes and granulocytes were closely related to metastasis.

Transcriptomic analysis of the defense response in "Cabernet Sauvignon" grape leaf induced by feeding.

To investigate the molecular mechanism of the defense response of "Cabernet Sauvignon" grapes to feeding by , high-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze the transcriptome of grape leaves under three different treatments: feeding by , puncture injury, and an untreated control. The research findings indicated that the differentially expressed genes were primarily enriched in three aspects: cellular composition, molecular function, and biological process. These genes were found to be involved in 42 metabolic pathways, particularly in plant hormone signaling metabolism, plant-pathogen interaction, MAPK signaling pathway, and other metabolic pathways associated with plant-induced insect resistance.

Multiple Cations Nanoconfinement in Ultrathin VO Nanosheets Enables Ultrafast Ion Diffusion Kinetics Toward High-performance Zinc Ion Battery.

Nanoconfinement of cations in layered oxide cathode is an important approach to realize advanced zinc ion storage performance. However, thus far, the conventional hydrothermal/solvothermal route for this nanoconfinement has been restricted to its uncontrollable phase structure and the difficulty on the multiple cation co-confinement simultaneously. Herein, this work reports a general, supramolecular self-assembly of ultrathin VO nanosheets using various unitary cations including Na, K, Mg, Ca, Zn, Al, NH , and multiple cations (NH + Na, NH + Na + Ca, NH + Na + Ca +Mg).

Targeting Erbin-mitochondria axis in platelets/megakaryocytes promotes B cell-mediated antitumor immunity.

The roles of platelets/megakaryocytes (MKs), the key components in the blood system, in the tumor microenvironment and antitumor immunity are unclear. In patients with colorectal cancer, the number of platelets was significantly increased in patients with metastasis, and Erbin expression was highly expressed in platelets from patients with metastases. Moreover, Erbin knockout in platelets/MKs suppressed lung metastasis in mice and promoted aggregations of platelets.

Pathological complete response to neoadjuvant lorlatinib in a patient with unresectable ALK-Positive locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer: A case report.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) have demonstrated substantial effectiveness in individuals with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the controversy over using ALK-TKIs for neoadjuvant therapy in ALK-positive NSCLC has not been fully explored. This case study describes the clinical progression of a patient initially diagnosed with unresectable stage III (cT1bN2M0) lung adenocarcinoma, who was later discovered to harbor an ALK mutation through next-generation sequencing.
