The rapid development of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technologies has increased the need for wearable, portable, and self-powered flexible sensing devices. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) based on gel materials (with excellent conductivity, mechanical tunability, environmental adaptability, and biocompatibility) are considered an advanced approach for developing a new generation of flexible sensors. This review comprehensively summarizes the recent advances in gel-based TENGs for flexible sensors, covering their principles, properties, and applications.

Article Synopsis
  • Electroacupuncture targeting specific acupoints (DU20 and SP10) effectively reduced psoriasis-like symptoms in mice, including skin lesions and epidermal thickness.
  • The treatment led to a decrease in inflammatory cytokines and T cell infiltration, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect.
  • The underlying mechanism appears to involve the modulation of Substance P and its receptor NK1R, further confirmed by the effects of an NK1R inhibitor.

Houshiheisan (HSHS), a classic prescription in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has shown outstanding efficacy in treating stroke. This study investigated various therapeutic targets of HSHS for ischemic stroke using mRNA transcriptomics. Herein, rats were randomly separated into the sham, model, HSHS 5.

Psoriasis is not only a chronic inflammatory skin disease but also a psychosomatic disorder. Depression is one of the most common associated diseases, which aggravates psoriatic skin lesions and affects the life quality of patients. Clinical experiments establish a correlation between psoriasis and depression; however, the mechanisms yet unclear because only a few related studies are available.

Introduction: The incidence of psoriasis vulgaris is increasing worldwide. Chronic recurrence of the disease, as well as accompanying cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and depression has affected the physical and mental health of these patients. Psoriasis vulgaris is a difficult and major disease in the dermatology field.

Xanthate functionalized magnetic graphene oxide (Fe3O4-xGO) was successfully synthesized through linking xanthate groups to a kind of graphenes magnetic material (Fe3O4-GS). Fe3O4-xGO was found to be an ideal adsorbent for Hg(II) and methylene blue removal with a higher adsorption capacity. The synthesized adsorbent was characterized by SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, and BET respectively.

In the present study, a kind of graphenes magnetic material (Fe3O4-GS) was prepared by compositing graphene sheet with ferroferric oxide, and shown to be effective for removing Cr(VI), Pb(II), Hg(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solution. The synthesized sorbent was characterized by SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS and BET, respectively. The pHZPC value of the sorbent was estimated to be 3.
