Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOXs, X = Cl, Br and I) are emerging photocatalytic materials with unique layered structure, flexible band structure and superior photocatalytic activity. The purpose of this study was to develop a facile alcoholysis route to prepare BiOClI nanosheet solid solutions at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), photoluminescence emission spectroscopy (PL) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analyzer were used to characterize the as-prepared photocatalysts.

In this study, nanocomposites of FeO anchored onto reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were prepared by a moderate alkaline-thermal precipitation method and developed as highly efficient heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts. The characterization results indicated that FeO nanoparticles (NPs) were tightly anchored onto few-layer RGO sheets via a strong interaction.

Methods: We retrospected 115 moderate and advanced lung cancer patients with different syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine (qi deficiency, yin deficiency, blood deficiency, yang deficiency, blood stasis, phlegm dampness, phlegm heat, damp heat, cold dampness, qi stagnation, heat toxin), who had the concurrent fungal pneumonia, and used regression analysis method to analyze the data.
Results: When the patients had the phlegm heat syndrome, they got a significantly higher risk of having fungal pneumonia (P < 0.
