Hundred-Fold Enhancement in the Anomalous Hall Effect Induced by Hydrogenation.

The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is one of the most fascinating transport properties in condensed matter physics. However, the AHE magnitude, which mainly depends on net spin polarization and band topology, is generally small in oxides and thus limits potential applications. Here, we demonstrate a giant enhancement of AHE in a LaCoO-induced 5d itinerant ferromagnet SrIrO by hydrogenation.

Effects of irradiated biological dressings on second-degree burn wounds.

Objective: To explore the effect of irradiated biological dressing (IBD) on second degree burn wounds.

Methods: Eighty patients with second-degree burns who were treated in our department were selected and randomly divided into IBD group and traditional dressing (TD) group by random number table method. The dressing change, wound healing, comfort and adverse reactions of patients in the two groups were compared and analysed.

Stoichiometry, Orbital Configuration, and Metal-to-Insulator Transition in NdSrNiO Films.

The discovery of superconductivity in the infinite-layer nickelate NdSrNiO has motivated tremendous efforts for its significance toward the understanding of high-temperature superconductivity. However, the synthesis of infinite-layer nickelates is instable and has become a hindrance to experimental progress. Optimizing the growth of precursor NdSrNiO by pulsed laser deposition is crucial for obtaining infinite-layer nickelates.

Controllable Itinerant Ferromagnetism in Weakly Correlated 5d SrIrO.

The weakly correlated nature of 5d oxide SrIrO determines its rare ferromagnetism, and the control of its magnetic order is even less studied. Tailoring structure distortion is currently a main route to tune the magnetic order of 5d iridates, but only for the spatially confined insulating counterparts. Here, we have realized ferromagnetic order in metallic SrIrO by construction of SrIrO/ferromagnetic-insulator (LaCoO) superlattices, which reveal a giant coercivity of ∼10 T and saturation field of ∼25 T with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.

Multicolor Photoacoustic Volumetric Imaging of Subcellular Structures.

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has been widely used in multiscale and multicontrast imaging of biological structures and functions. Optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM), an emerging submodality of PAI, features high lateral resolution and rich optical contrast, indicating great potential in visualizing cellular and subcellular structures. However, three-dimensional (3D) imaging of subcellular structures using OR-PAM has remained a challenge due to the limited axial resolution.

The interaction between Lactobacillus plantarum SC-5 and its biogenic amine formation with different salt concentrations in Chinese Dongbei Suancai.

Dongbei Suancai (DBSC) - a Chinese cabbage-based sauerkraut is a traditional fermented food which is popular in Asian countries. The biogenic amines that are usually generated during spontaneous fermentation have raised public health concern, while inoculation technology may solve this problem. In the current research, the biogenic amines, as well as their interactions with the microbial community in DBSC inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum SC-5 or spontaneously fermented without inoculation were systematically investigated throughout 60 d fermentation.

ameliorates cognitive impairment in high-fat induced obese mice insulin signaling and neuroinflammation pathways.

Long-term consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) can cause glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, damage the brain and nervous system and result in cognitive impairment. The objective of this study was to investigate the preventative effects of (Jlus66, a probiotic extracted from cheese in Northeast China) on cognitive impairment associated with HFD. The water maze was used to compare memory changes in mice fed HFD with or without Jlus66.

A Multispectral Photoacoustic Tracking Strategy for Wide-Field and Real-Time Monitoring of Macrophages in Inflammation.

Inflammation is a common defensive response of the vascular system that involves the activation and mediation of immune cell and stem cell homing. However, it is usually hard to track and analyze the real-time status of these cell types toward the inflammation microenvironment in a large field of view with desired resolution. Here, we designed and synthesized near-infrared absorbing semiconducting polymer nanoparticles, BBT-TQP-NP (BTNPs), as the cell tracker and utilized their photoacoustic activity to unveil the targeting behaviors of macrophages, neutrophils, and mesenchymal stem cells to the inflamed sites in mice.

Optical resolution photoacoustic computed microscopy.

Optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (ORPAM) has demonstrated both high resolution and rich contrast imaging of optical chromophores in biologic tissues. To date, sensitivity remains a major challenge for ORPAM, which limits the capability of resolving biologic microvascular networks. In this study, we propose and evaluate a new ORPAM modality termed as optical resolution photoacoustic computed microscopy (ORPACM), through the combination of a two-dimensional laser-scanning system with a medical ultrasonographic platform.

A global climate-economy model including the REDD option.

Compared to conventional abatement measures, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) offers attractive cost savings while tackling the climate change problem. However, there exist challenges associated with the selection of the optimal level of REDD-based abatement given the risks and non-uniform costs of their implementation across countries. This paper develops an integrated assessment model of carbon mitigation, incorporating the REDD option.

Thermal decomposition of castor oil, corn starch, soy protein, lignin, xylan, and cellulose during fast pyrolysis.

The aim of this work was to study the pyrolysis behavior of castor oil, corn starch, soy protein, lignin, xylan, and cellulose. The pyrolysis behavior, gaseous product evolution, kinetics and thermodynamics of these model compounds were investigated via TG-FTIR under high heating rates. The TG/DTG curves showed that castor oil had the widest pyrolysis temperature zone and lignin had the highest residual rate.

Online Removal of Baseline Shift with a Polynomial Function for Hemodynamic Monitoring Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has become widely accepted as a valuable tool for noninvasively monitoring hemodynamics for clinical and diagnostic purposes. Baseline shift has attracted great attention in the field, but there has been little quantitative study on baseline removal. Here, we aimed to study the baseline characteristics of an in-house-built portable medical NIRS device over a long time (>3.
