Sodium chloride-assisted CVD enables controlled synthesis of large single-layered MoS.

Thin-layer MoS has attracted much interest because of its potential in diverse technologies, including electronics, optoelectronics and catalysis these few years. In particular, finding a simple and effective solution for large-scale growth of thin-layer semiconductor nanosheets is a prerequisite for achieving their excellent performance. In this paper, we investigated four different substrates under identical conditions for MoS film growth and observed a strong correlation between substrate surface conditions and MoS growth.

A case report and literature review on tocilizumab-cured acute necrotizing encephalopathy caused by influenza A virus.

Introduction: Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy (ANE), is a kind of severe Central Nervous System Disease. The commonest pathogen is the influenza virus. The pathogenesis of ANE is bound up to genetic susceptibility and cytokine storm.

Effect of CD163 Modification on Glucocorticoid-Related Mortality in Patients with Hepatitis B Virus-Related Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the relationship between glucocorticoid treatment and mortality among patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, hospital-based cohort study from 2019 to 2022, including 394 consecutively enrolled HBV-ACLF patients at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. We recorded patient demographics, liver function, CD163 concentration, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, and complications.

Metabolic Profiling of L. Triggered by Chilling Stress Using Ultraperformance Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Quadrupole/Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS) with Transcriptome Analysis.

Low temperature, a major abiotic stress, often causes molecular changes in crops, which leads to metabolic disturbances and probably affects crop yield. In this study, chilling stress induced distinct metabolic profiles associated with transcriptome regulation, exhibiting great metabolic differences between Qiutianxiaoting () and 93-11 (). In total, 41 and 58 differential metabolites were screened and identified in Qiutianxiaoting and 93-11, respectively.

Ferroelectricity and Piezoelectricity in 2D Van der Waals CuInPS Ferroelectric Tunnel Junctions.

CuInP2S6 (CIPS) is a novel two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectric layered material with a Curie temperature of ~315 K, making it promising for great potential applications in electronic and photoelectric devices. Herein, the ferroelectric and electric properties of CIPS at different thicknesses are carefully evaluated by scanning probe microscopy techniques. Some defects in some local regions due to Cu deficiency lead to a CuInP2S6-InPS (CIPS-IPS) paraelectric phase coexisting with the CIPS ferroelectric phase.

A Systematic Review of Mobile Stroke Unit Among Acute Stroke Patients: Time Metrics, Adverse Events, Functional Result and Cost-Effectiveness.

Background: Mobile stroke unit (MSU) is deployed to shorten the duration of ischemic stroke recognition to thrombolysis treatment, thus reducing disability, mortality after an acute stroke attack, and related economic burden. Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive systematic review of the clinical trial and economic literature focusing on various outcomes of MSU compared with conventional emergency medical services (EMS).

Methods: An electronic search was conducted in four databases (PubMed, OVID Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials) from 1990 to 2021.

Differential Antioxidant Compounds and Activities in Seedlings of Two Rice Cultivars Under Chilling Treatment.

Variations in antioxidant compounds were examined in seedlings of two rice cultivars (Qiutianxiaoting and 93-11) exposed to low temperature (4°C) for 0, 12, 36, and 48 h. Antioxidant activity was identified by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The concentrations of total phenols, flavonoids, chlorophyll, and anthocyanins (ACNs) were determined by spectrophotometry.

Effect of thrombolysis in a mobile stroke unit versus in hospital for patients with ischemic stroke: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: Ischemic stroke caused by arterial occlusion is the cause of most strokes. The focus of treatment is rapid reperfusion through intravenous thrombolysis and intravascular thrombectomy. Two acute stroke management including prehospital thrombolysis and in hospital have been widely used clinically to treat ischemic stroke with satisfied efficacy.

Long non-coding RNA TCONS_00000200 as a non-invasive biomarker in patients with intracranial aneurysm.

We performed long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) microarray assay to identify lncRNAs with differential expression between patients with intracranial aneurysm (IA) and healthy control individuals to evaluate their potential use as biomarkers of IA. Arraystar Human lncRNA Microarray v3.0 was performed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in plasma samples (4 ml).

Biosynthetic Pathway of Carotenoids in and Strategies for Enhanced Their Production.

is a group of pigment-producing yeasts well known for its intracellular biosynthesis of carotenoids such as β-carotene, γ-carotene, torulene and torularhodin. The great potential of carotenoids in applications in food and feed as well as in health products and cosmetics has generated a market value expected to reach over $2.0 billion by 2022.

Association of with-no-lysine kinase 1 and Serine/Threonine kinase 39 gene polymorphisms and haplotypes with essential hypertension in Tibetans.

Tibetans have a higher essential hypertension prevalence compared with other ethnics in China. The reason might be due to their unique environmental influence, as well as genetic factor. However, limited studies focus on Tibetan genetics and its association with hypertension.
