Modulation of cardiac resident macrophages immunometabolism upon high-fat-diet feeding in mice.

Background: A high-fat diet (HFD) contributes to various metabolic disorders and obesity, which are major contributors to cardiovascular disease. As an essential regulator for heart homeostasis, cardiac resident macrophages may go awry and contribute to cardiac pathophysiology upon HFD. Thus, to better understand how HFD induced cardiac dysfunction, this study intends to explore the transcriptional and functional changes in cardiac resident macrophages of HFD mice.

Effects of Long-Term Sod Culture Management on Soil Fertility, Enzyme Activities, Soil Microorganisms, and Fruit Yield and Quality in "Jiro" Sweet Persimmon Orchard.

Achieving high-capacity aqueous supercapacitors anion-doped construction of dual redox centers in NiCoSeO.

In asymmetric supercapacitors, transition metal selenates are promising electrodes, but their capacity are limited by a single redox center. To further enhance the performance of transition metal selenates, NiCoSeO (NCSeO) doped with N and Cl was prepared on nickel-plated carbon cloth (NCSeO-NCl-NiCC). During electrochemical reactions, NCSeO can be converted to M(OH) (M = Ni/Co) and OH is replaced by N and Cl.

Multi-Functional Nano-Doped Hollow Fiber from Microfluidics for Sensors and Micromotors.

An oriented tube array porous carbon anode prepared using a self-blowing mold of salt templates for high-rate potassium storage.

Porous carbon materials with oriented porosity are very useful in ion batteries, but their high cost and complex fabrication hinder their wide application. In this paper, we used cheap and water-soluble NaHCO grains to prepare unique porous carbon with an orderly arranged tube array one-step carbonization. During the preparation process, a novel self-blowing mold of salt templates was discovered for the first time, and the resulting numerous high-speed gas jets can act as gas state templates to induce the formation of the oriented porous carbon into a mesoscale tube array with rich micropores.

Multifunctional Iron Selenate Sheath of Fe-Based Anode Achieving High-Rate Capacity-Durability Combination of Aqueous Hybrid Energy Storage Devices.

The introduction of battery-type cathode has been commonly considered a preferred approach to boost the energy density of aqueous hybrid energy storage devices (AHESDs) in alkalic systems, but AHESDs with both high energy density and power density are rare due to the great challenge in designing battery-type anode materials with high rate and durability comparable to capacitive-type carbon anodes. In this paper, a well-hydrated iron selenate (FeSeO) sheath is constructed around FeOOH nanorods by a facile electrochemical activation, demonstrating the unique multifunction in fasting charge diffusion, promoting the dissociation of HO, and inhibiting the irreversible phase transition of FeOOH to inert γ-FeO, which endow the hydrated sheath coated Fe-based anodes with an impressive rate capability and superior durability. Thanks to the comprehensive performance of this Fe-based anode, the assembled AHESD delivered a high energy density of 117 Wh kg with the extraordinary durability of almost 100% capacity retention after 40 000 cycles.
