Precision matters: the value of PET/CT and PET/MRI in the clinical management of cervical cancer.

The incidence of cervical cancer has been increasing recently, becoming an essential factor threatening patients' health. Positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT) and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) are multimodal molecular imaging methods that combine functional imaging (PET) and anatomical imaging (CT) with MRI fusion technology. They play an important role in the clinical management of patients with cervical cancer.

α-Ni(OH)/NiS heterojunction composites with excellent ion and electron transport properties for advanced supercapacitors.

It is recognized that an effective strategy to promote the industrialization of supercapacitors is to enhance the ion and electronic conductivities of electrode materials. In this work, it is demonstrated that the NO/NS-8 heterojunction material obtained via an epitaxial growth method based on ion exchange can be used as an outstanding electrode material for supercapacitors. The construction of heterojunctions between α-Ni(OH)2 and NiS1.

Nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon derived from a chitosan/polyethylene glycol blend for high performance supercapacitors.

Nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon (NHPC) materials were synthesized by using a chitosan/polyethylene glycol (PEG) blend as raw material through a facile carbonization-activation process. In this method, chitosan was used as a nitrogen-containing carbon precursor, low cost and large-scale commercial PEG was employed as a porogen. The physical and electrochemical properties of the resultant NHPC were affected by the ratio of chitosan and PEG.

Bis{1-[(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)meth-yl]-2-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN(3)}dichlorido-cobalt(II).

In the title mononuclear complex, [CoCl(2)(C(11)H(11)N(5))(2)], the Co(II) atom is four-coordinated by two ligand N atoms and two Cl atoms in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. In the crystal, mol-ecules are stacked through π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.473 (2), 3.

Photokilling cancer cells using highly cell-specific antibody-TiO(2) bioconjugates and electroporation.

In this paper, it was reported for the first time that the combination of the electroporation and the conjugation of the TiO(2) nanoparticles with the monoclonal antibody could improve the photokilling selectivity and efficiency of photoexcited TiO(2) on cancer cells in the photodynamic therapy(PDT) because the conjugation of the TiO(2) nanoparticles with monoclonal antibodies could increase the photokilling selectivity of TiO(2) nanoparticles to cancer cells and the electroporation could accelerate the delivery speed of the TiO(2) nanoparticles to cancer cells. It was observed that using this combination method, 100% human LoVo cancer cells were photokilled within 90 min, while only 39% of the normal cells were killed under the irradiation of the ultraviolet (UV) light (365 nm). Furthermore, the combination method may be used to photokill various kinds of caner cells only if the antibody conjugated on the TiO(2) nanoparticles is changed.

Single crystal tin nano-rod arrays electrodeposited by a soft template.

Single crystal tin nano-rod arrays were fabricated by the electrodeposition method when amphiphilic triblock copolymer P123 was used as a soft template at a concentration much lower than that for forming a liquid crystalline phase.
