Enhanced Acetone Sensing Properties Based on Au-Pd Decorated ZnO Nanorod Gas Sensor.

The mature processes of metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) have attracted considerable interest. However, the low sensitivity of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors is still challenging, and constrains its practical applications. Bimetallic nanoparticles are of interest owing to their excellent catalytic properties.

Adaptive Bitline Voltage Countermeasure for Neighbor Wordline Interference in 3D NAND Flash Memory-Based Sensors.

Three-dimensional NAND flash memory is widely used in sensor systems as an advanced storage medium that ensures system stability through fast data access. However, in flash memory, as the number of cell bits increases and the process pitch keeps scaling, the data disturbance becomes more serious, especially for neighbor wordline interference (NWI), which leads to a deterioration of data storage reliability. Thus, a physical device model was constructed to investigate the NWI mechanism and evaluate critical device factors for this long-standing and intractable problem.

Da-Cheng-Qi Decoction Alleviates Intestinal Injury in Rats with Severe Acute Pancreatitis by Inhibiting the JAK2-STAT3 Signaling Pathway.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Da-Cheng-Qi decoction (DCQD) on treating intestinal injury in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), based on the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducers and transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway.

Methods: Rats were randomly divided into the SAP group, SAP + ruxolitinib (JAK2 inhibitor) group, SAP + Stattic (STAT3 inhibitor) group, SAP + DCQD group, and sham operation group. They were further divided into 3-hour, 6-hour, 12-hour, and 18-hour subgroups.

Survival outcome and prognostic factors after pancreatoduodenectomy for distal bile duct carcinoma: a retrospective multicenter study.

Purpose: Pancreatoduodenectomy is the most common operative procedure performed for distal bile duct carcinoma. Data on outcome after surgery for this rare malignancy is scarce, especially from western countries. The purpose of this study is to explore the prognostic factors and outcome after pancreatoduodenectomy for distal bile duct carcinoma.

The survival outcome and prognostic factors for distal cholangiocarcinoma following surgical resection: a meta-analysis for the 5-year survival.

Purpose: To assess the available evidence on the prognostic factors for the 5-year survival for patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC) following surgical resection.

Methods: We performed a comprehensive search of abstracts included in databases where relevant studies were published between January 2000 and August 2015. Risk ratios (RRs), 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs), and random-effects model were calculated using RevMan 5.

Relationship between the degree of severe acute pancreatitis and patient immunity.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the APACHE II score and the immunity of patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

Methods: Clinical data were collected from 88 patients with acute pancreatitis, divided into four groups according to the severity of the disease. C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, interleukin-4 and endotoxin (ET) in serum were measured on admission and then on days 3, 5, and 7.

Effect of pharmaconutrition-supplemented parenteral nutrition for severe acute pancreatitis: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of pharmaconutrition-supplemented parenteral nutrition (PN) for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).

Methods: A comprehensive search of abstracts was performed in the MEDLINE, OVID, Springer, and Cochrane Library database. Published data of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing the clinically relevant outcomes of pharmaconutrition-supplemented PN versus PN for patients with SAP were analyzed.

Early enteral nutrition after pancreatoduodenectomy: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of early enteral nutrition (EN) for patients after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).

Methods: We performed a comprehensive search of abstracts in the MEDLINE database, OVID database, Springer database, the Science Citation Index, and the Cochrane Library database. Published data of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing the clinically relevant outcomes of early EN and other nutritional routes for patients after PD were analyzed.

Reconstruction by Pancreaticogastrostomy versus Pancreaticojejunostomy following Pancreaticoduodenectomy: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Objectives. The aim of our study was to evaluate and compare the results of pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) and pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods.

Clinical observation of immunity in patients with secondary infection from severe acute pancreatitis.

Objectives: To observe immune system changes in patients with secondary infection from severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).

Methods: Seventy-nine patients were recruited. The percentages of CD4+, CD8+, natural killer (NK), HLA-DR+ cells and B lymphocytes, and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio, were determined.

Clinical observation of immunity for severe acute pancreatitis.

The aim of our study was to observe the dynamic changes of immunity for patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and intervention by traditional Chinese medicine. Twenty-three patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomized to combined treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine (TCM) or conventional western medicine treatment (WM) groups. The clinical data for all patients were collected.
