Ionic liquid assisted construction of synergistic modulated multiphase hybrid composites for boosting electrochemical energy storage.

The unique structure and strong interaction of multiphase hybrid materials have garnered significant attention as prospective candidates for electrode materials in the realm of energy storage. The present study presents a rational design of a functional NiSe-CoSe/N, B double-doped carbon hybrid composite (NCS/C), resulting in the emergence of various novel cooperative regulatory mechanisms involving: (i) the heterogeneous structure of NiSe and CoSe generates built-in electric fields to increase electron mobility; (ii) the incorporation of polyatomic double-doped carbon (N, and B) expedites electron transfer rate; intriguingly, (iii) ionic liquids not only serve as polyatomic dopants in the reaction system but also influence the microstructure of the composite. Benefiting from these synergistic effects, the NCS/C hybrid exhibits remarkable charge storage capacity and rapid electrochemical kinetics, driven by its multi-fold hollow structure and multicomponent cooperative modulation.

Prognostic analysis of destroyed-lung patients with preoperative massive hemoptysis: a 20-year retrospective study.

Background: Surgery is the main treatment option for destroyed-lung (DL) patients with life-threatening massive hemoptysis. However, short-term and long-term surgical safety and efficacy are unclear, prompting this study.

Methods: Data from 124 DL patients undergoing surgery between November 2001 and January 2022 at Beijing Chest Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.

Analysis of clinical characteristics of different types of lung function impaiement in TDL patients.

Aim: The clinical characteristics associated with pulmonary function decline in patients with Tuberculosis-destroyed lung (TDL) remain uncertain. We categorize them based on the pattern of pulmonary function impairment, distinguishing between restrictive spirometric pattern (RSP) and obstructive spirometric pattern (OSP). We aim to compare the severity of these patterns with the clinical characteristics of TDL patients and analyze their correlation.

Assembly of JAZ-JAZ and JAZ-NINJA complexes in jasmonate signaling.

Jasmonates (JAs) are plant hormones with crucial roles in development and stress resilience. They activate MYC transcription factors by mediating the proteolysis of MYC inhibitors called JAZ proteins. In the absence of JA, JAZ proteins bind and inhibit MYC through the assembly of MYC-JAZ-Novel Interactor of JAZ (NINJA)-TPL repressor complexes.

Effect of Different Durations of Adjuvant Capecitabine Monotherapy on the Outcome of High-Risk Stage II and Stage III Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Study Based on a CRC Database.

(1) Background: The duration of adjuvant chemotherapy recommended by the NCCN guidelines is 6 months. However, patients are not compliant with intravenous chemotherapy for many reasons; therefore, one approach is to obtain a survival benefit by prolonging the duration of capecitabine monotherapy. (2) Methods: A total of 355 qualified colorectal cancer (CRC) patients from January 2010 to December 2020 at West China Hospital of Sichuan University were selected to receive capecitabine monotherapy for 6−9 months and >12 months.

Effective adsorption of zeolite/carbon composite molecular sieve synthesized from spent bleaching earth.

Spent bleaching earth (SBE) as an industrious solid rubbish seriously causes the environmental pollution problem. The resourceful utilization of SBE has become increasingly important. In this work, silicon and carbon ingredients derived from SBE were coincidently employed to synthesize a 4A zeolite/carbon composite molecular sieve (4A/CMS).

Structural basis of Fusarium myosin I inhibition by phenamacril.

Fusarium is a genus of filamentous fungi that includes species that cause devastating diseases in major staple crops, such as wheat, maize, rice, and barley, resulting in severe yield losses and mycotoxin contamination of infected grains. Phenamacril is a novel fungicide that is considered environmentally benign due to its exceptional specificity; it inhibits the ATPase activity of the sole class I myosin of only a subset of Fusarium species including the major plant pathogens F. graminearum, F.

Hollow core-shell ZnO@ZIF-8 on carbon cloth for flexible supercapacitors with ultrahigh areal capacitance.

Rational design and synthesis of hollow core-shell hetero-structures with high complexity still remains challenging for high-performance supercapacitors. Here, a simple and effective strategy that involves a 'root-etch-wrap' process was developed to synthesize hollow core-shell hetero-structured electrodes. Specifically, ZnO hollow spheres take root on carbon cloth via an in situ growth routine, then are etched to aid the generation of a ZIF-8 shell.

Microporous Hexanuclear Ln(III) Cluster-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks: Color Tunability for Barcode Application and Selective Removal of Methylene Blue.

Two hexanuclear Ln(III) cluster-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (Ln = Tb or Eu) and a series of isomorphic bimetallic Ln(III)-MOFs have been synthesized by changing the ratio of Tb(III) and Eu(III) under solvothermal conditions. The excellent linear color tunability (from green to red) makes them suitable for barcode application. In addition, the anionic Ln(III)-MOFs exhibit superior uptake capacity toward methylene blue (MB) by an ion-exchange process, and its reversible adsorption performance makes 1 suitable for removal of organic dye MB.
