Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Adjuvant Alectinib versus Platinum-Based Chemotherapy in Resected ALK-Positive Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer in the Chinese Health Care System.

Objectives: The ALINE trial demonstrated the superiority of alectinib over platinum-based chemotherapy in resected Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Considering the high cost of alectinib, this study aimed to evaluate the economic value of alectinib compared to platinum-based chemotherapy for treating early-stage ALK-positive NSCLC from the perspective of the Chinese health care system.

Materials And Methods: We developed a five-state Markov model with monthly cycles to estimate the lifetime costs, life-years (LYs), quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) in terms of cost per LY gained and per QALY gained.

The effects of work-family conflict, work engagement, and job burnout on self-rated health of public health emergency responders in Jilin Province, China, in the context of the COVID-19.

Introduction: Amid sudden public health crises, preserving the well-being and optimal working states of frontline healthcare professionals is imperative for efficaciously managing the emergences. However, there is a paucity of research investigating the health status of frontline healthcare professionals through the perspective of work-family conflict. This study sought to elucidate the complex interrelations between work-family conflict, work engagement, job burnout, and self-rated health among public health emergency responders within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Synthesis of New Isoxazolidine Derivatives Utilizing the Functionality of -Carbonylpyrazol-Linked Isoxazolidines.

Using Ni(II) as the catalyst, electron-deficient 3,5-dimethylacryloylpyrazole olefin was reacted with ,-diarylnitrones alone for 10 min to prepare novel five-member heterocyclic products, 4-3,5-dimethylacryloylpyrazole isoxazolidines with 100% regioselectivity and up to 99% yield. And then, taking these cycloadducts as substrates, six kinds of derivatization reactions, like ring-opening, nucleophilic substitution, addition-elimination and reduction, were studied. Experimental results showed that all kinds of transformations could obtain the target products at a high conversion rate under mild conditions, a finding which provided the basic methods for organic synthesis methodology research based on an isoxazolidine skeleton.

A study on the configuration of factors influencing overweight and obesity in adolescents based on fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis.

Objective: Overweight and obesity among adolescents are grave public health issues around the world. Although the conditions that contribute to obesity have been extensively researched, little is known about how multiple conditions interact to cause overweight and obesity. The current study intends to investigate the histomorphic configuration pathways of several conditions of adolescent overweight and obesity by gender.

Review of the Real-Time Monitoring Technologies for Lithium Dendrites in Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have the advantage of high energy density, which has attracted the wide attention of researchers. Nevertheless, the growth of lithium dendrites on the anode surface causes short life and poor safety, which limits their application. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply understand the growth mechanism of lithium dendrites.

The effects of COVID-19 event strength on job burnout among primary medical staff.

Background: As a global pandemic, The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought significant challenges to the primary health care (PHC) system. Health professionals are constantly affected by the pandemic's harmful impact on their mental health and are at significant risk of job burnout. Therefore, it is essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of how their burnout was affected.

A Single-Layer Composite Separator with 3D-Reinforced Microstructure for Practical High-Temperature Lithium Ion Batteries.

Incorporation of ceramic materials into separators has been frequently applied in both research and industry to improve the overall high-temperature performances of lithium ion batteries. However, inorganic ceramic particles tend to form aggregation in separators and even fall off in the separator matrix due to the inferior combination between ceramic particles and polymer matrix, giving rise to a decrease in separator porosity and thus the degradation of battery performances. Herein, a single-layer core-shell architecture is designed to reinforce the polymer matrix through encircling Al O particles by poly(vinylidene fluoride) with strong inter-molecular interaction.

High-Polarity Fluoroalkyl Ether Electrolyte Enables Solvation-Free Li Transfer for High-Rate Lithium Metal Batteries.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have aroused extensive interest in the field of energy storage owing to the ultrahigh anode capacity. However, strong solvation of Li and slow interfacial ion transfer associated with conventional electrolytes limit their long-cycle and high-rate capabilities. Herein an electrolyte system based on fluoroalkyl ether 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropyl ether (THE) and ether electrolytes is designed to effectively upgrade the long-cycle and high-rate performances of LMBs.

Suppression of Polysulfide Dissolution and Shuttling with Glutamate Electrolyte for Lithium Sulfur Batteries.

The lithium sulfur battery is regarded as a potential next-generation high-energy battery system. However, polysulfides dissolve and shuttle through the electrolytes, causing rapid capacity decay, serious self-discharge, and poor high-temperature performances. Here, we demonstrate that by directly introducing glutamate into commercial electrolytes, these issues can be tackled simultaneously.
