A Facile Electrochemical Strategy for Achieving a High-Conductivity Polypyrrole Derivative with Intrinsic Metallic Transport as a High-Performance Electrochromic Conducting Polymer Film.

Conjugated polymer electrochromic materials (PECMs) with tailored optical and electrical properties are applied in smart windows, electronic displays, and adaptive camouflage. The limitation in the electrical conductivity results in slow and monotonous color switching. We present a polypyrrole film incorporated with a toluene--sulfonic group (PPy-TSO-F), via a one-step electrodeposition technique.

Fabrication of MnO-Modified Decellularized Tendon Membrane for Enhancing Tendon Repair.

Repairing tendon/ligament injuries is a major challenge in sports medicine. It has been reported that tendon injury healing is hindered by massive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Manganese oxides nanoparticles are generally non-toxic, can scavenge ROS, promote tissue regeneration, and hold promise for sustainable nanotechnologies.

Lu's approach for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Objectives: Lu's approach for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (LVATS), which derives from UVATS, is a novel surgical approach for VATS and carries out micro-innovation for lung cancer resection. The objective of this study is to elucidate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of this novel surgical approach.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent a curative thoracoscopic lobectomy between Mar.

Hemostatic Dressing Immobilized with ε-poly-L-lysine and Alginate Coated Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Prevents Blood Permeation by Pseudo-Dewetting Behavior.

The integration of hemostats with cotton fabrics is recognized as an effective approach to improve the hemostatic performance of dressings. However, concerns regarding the uncontrollable absorption of blood by hydrophilic dressings and the risk of distal thrombosis from shed hemostatic agents are increasingly scrutinized. To address these issues, this work develops an advanced dressing (AQG) with immobilized nano-scale mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) to safely and durably augment hemostasis.

The objective of this study is to elucidate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of this novel surgical approach.

Patients And Methods: The clinical data of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent a curative thoracoscopic lobectomy between Mar.

Rare giant ovarian metastasis arising from a small primary lung adenocarcinoma: a case report.

This intricate case report details an exceptionally rare incidence of ovarian metastasis originating from a primary lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The relative rarity of this metastatic pathway in medical literature indicates significant diagnostic challenges. This patient was initially found to have both the ovarian tumor and lung nodule and they were originally considered independent primary tumors, derived from radiological interpretations and biomarker profiling.

Signal-on electrogenerated chemiluminescence detection of gonyautoxin 1/4 based on proximity ligation-induced an electrode-bound pseudoknot DNA.

A "signal on" electrogenerated chemiluminescence (electrochemiluminescence, ECL) aptasensor based on proximity ligation-induced an electrode-bound pseudoknot DNA for sensitive detection of gonyautoxin 1/4 (GTX1/4) was developed on basis of the competitive type reaction mode. Aptamer was adopted as recognition element. Ru(bpy) as ECL signal, was attached on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface modified with nafion and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by electrostatic attraction to obtain the ECL platform.

Flexible Inorganic All-Solid-State Electrochromic Devices toward Visual Energy Storage and Two-Dimensional Color Tunability.

Multicolor display has gradually become a sought-after trend for electrochromic devices due to its broadened application scope. Meanwhile, the advantages of inorganic electrochromic devices such as stable electrochemical performance and good energy storage ability also have great attraction in practical production applications. However, there are still huge challenges for inorganic electrochromic materials to achieve multicolor transformation due to their single-color hue change.

Novel Prussian White@MnO-Based Inorganic Electrochromic Energy Storage Devices with Integrated Flexibility, Multicolor, and Long Life.

Flexible electrochromic devices have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their great potential in smart multifunction electrochromic energy storage devices and wearable intelligent electronics. Herein, we present an inorganic flexible Li-based electrochromic energy storage device (EESD) by combining a Prussian white@MnO-composited electrode (PWM) and sputtering-made WO electrode. The synergistic effect of Prussian white and MnO plays a positive role both in energy storage and electrochromic property of the EESD.

Conservative management versus cesarean hysterectomy in patients with placenta increta or percreta.

Objective: To compare conservative management and cesarean hysterectomy in patients with placenta increta or percreta.

Materials And Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, we recorded data on 2219 patients with placenta increta or percreta from 20 tertiary care centers in China from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2015. Propensity score analysis was used to control for baseline characteristics.

Maternal and neonatal outcomes of placenta increta and percreta from a multicenter study in China.

Objective: The objective of this study is to identify the maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with placenta increta or placenta percreta in China.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 2219 cases from 20 tertiary care centers in China between January 2011 and December 2015. All cases were diagnosed of placenta increta or placenta percreta, based on either intraoperative findings or histopathological findings.

Coexpression of the mutated BRCA1 mRNA and p53 mRNA and its association in Chinese prostate cancer.

The mutations of BRCA1 and p53 genes have been simultaneously characterized in many tumors. However, their coexpression and associations have not been investigated quantitatively in prostate cancer. In the present study, the expressions of the mutated BRCA1 mRNA and p53 mRNA were examined in 48 Chinese prostate cancer cases and 10 corresponding adjacent benign tissues with in situ hybridization.
