Article Synopsis
  • Zn anodes struggle with issues like poor reversibility and stability due to irregular dendrite growth and self-corrosion.
  • The introduction of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMImAc) improves these issues by modifying the solvation environment and creating a protective electrical double layer on the anode.
  • This leads to a remarkable cycling lifespan of 7000 hours and 61.3% zinc utilization in Zn/Zn symmetric cells, showcasing the potential of ionic liquid additives for enhancing zinc battery performance.

The irreversibility and low utilization of Zn anode stemming from the corrosion and dendrite growth have largely limited the commercialization of aqueous zinc batteries. Here, a carbonyl-rich polymer interphase of zinc polyacrylate (ZPAA) is spontaneously in-situ constructed on Zn anode to address the above-mentioned dilemmas. The ZPAA interlayer enables fast transport kinetics of Zn and tailors the interfacial electric field for realizing the uniform Zn deposition due to superior zincophilicity, high Zn transference number and inherent ion-diffusion channel.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic exposure to interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in cancers leads to tryptophan shortage via the IDO-kynurenine pathway, which results in abnormal peptides being produced through ribosomal frameshifting and codon reassignment.
  • In EBV-positive gastric cancer (GC), infiltrating lymphocytes secrete IFN-γ, increasing IDO1 expression and depleting tryptophan, which promotes the production of tryptophan-to-phenylalanine (W>F) substitutants.
  • The mTOR/eIF4E signaling pathway plays a crucial role in this process, as inhibiting it can reduce W>F substitutant production and improve antigen presentation,

Minimal research exists on polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), despite their significant contributions to domestic and international health protection. This study is the first to investigate the levels, profiles, and health risks of PCB residue in Pheretima, a typical TCM produced from earthworm. Seventy-seven Pheretima samples from different regions of China were analyzed for 45 PCB congeners.

Background: Although the incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) has been increasing since the past decade, the proportion of AEG cases in two previous clinical trials (ACTS-GC and CLASSIC) that investigated the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy was relatively small. Therefore, whether AEG patients can benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy remains unclear.

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with pathological stage II/III, Siewert II/III AEG, and underwent curative surgery at three high-volume institutions were assessed.
