Advancing Integration of Direct C-H Arylation-Derived Star-Shaped Oligomers as Second Acceptors for Ternary Organic Solar Cells.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) could benefit from the ternary bulk heterojunction (BHJ), a method that allows for fine-tuning of light capture, cascade energy levels, and film shape, in order to increase their power conversion efficiency (PCE). In this work, the third components of PM6:Y6 and PM6:BTP-eC9 BHJs are a set of four star-shaped unfused ring electron acceptors (SSUFREAs), i.e.

Decalintetracids A and B, two pairs of unusual 3-decalinoyltetramic acid derivatives with phytotoxicity from Fusarium equiseti D39.

The filamentous fungi Fusarium sp. are well-known for their ability to produce abundant specialised metabolites with attractive chemical structures and bioactivities. In this study, chemical analyses of the endophyte F.

Bacterial Succession on Rat Carcasses and Applications for PMI Estimation.

Unlabelled: Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the bacterial succession on rat carcasses and to evaluate the use of bacterial succession for postmortem interval (PMI) estimation.

Methods: Adult female SD rat remains were placed in carton boxes. The bacterial colonization of circumocular skin, mouth and vagina was collected to be identified using culture-dependent biochemical methods.

[Concentrations and deposition fluxes of different mercury species in precipitation in Jinyun Mountain, Chongqing].

Concentrations of mercury (Hg) species in precipitation were measured during the period from April 2013 to March 2014 in Jinyun Mountain, Chongqing, and corresponding deposition fluxes were also estimated. The result showed that the ranges of concentration of total mercury (THg) , dissolved mercury (DHg), particulate mercury (PHg), reactive mercury (RHg), total methyl mercury (MeHg), dissolved methyl mercury (DMeHg), particulate methyl mercury (PMeHg) were 7.47-120.

[Concentrations and deposition fluxes of heavy metals in precipitation in core urban areas, Chongqing].

Concentrations and deposition fluxes of heavy metals in the precipitation of core urban areas of Chongqing were investigated for one year from December 2011 to November 2012. Precipitation samples were collected with an automated precipitation sampler from three sampling sites. Concentrations of 13 heavy metals were analyzed using ICP-MS.

Tuberculous abdominal aortic aneurysm with alimentary tract hemorrhage: a case report with medico-legal implications.

An autopsy case of sudden death induced by alimentary tract hemorrhage was presented, which was caused by the unexpected rupture of clinically unrecognized tuberculous abdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). The initial diagnosis was made of the syndrome of coronary heart disease and hypertensive disease. The detailed autopsy showed that the alimentary tract hemorrhage was caused by a sudden rupture of the mass after posture changing was ascertained as the cause of death.

[Reflection of estimating postmortem interval in forensic entomology and the Daubert standard].

Estimating postmortem interval (PMI) is always the emphasis and difficulty in forensic practice. Forensic entomology plays a significant indispensable role. Recently, the theories and technologies of forensic entomology are increasingly rich.

Multicenter phase II study of capecitabine combined with nedaplatin for recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after failure of cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Purpose: There is no standard second-line regimen for recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after failure of cisplatin-based chemotherapy. A multicenter phase II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of capecitabine combined with nedaplatin for these patients.

Patients And Methods: In the multicenter, open-label, single-arm phase II study, patients with recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who failed to previous cisplatin-based chemotherapy were enrolled.

[Transdermal fentanyl in treating severe painful mucositis caused by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation].

Background & Objective: The incidence of mucositis caused by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is relatively high. The severe painful mucositis can reduce the quality of life of patients obviously. Transdermal fentanyl is efficient in treating chronic pain of cancer, and also can relieve the severe pain of mucositis resulted from chemotherapy.

[Efficacy of rituximab-containing salvage regimens on relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma].

Background & Objective: The prognosis of relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma is poor, with a short-term survival after conventional second-line chemotherapy. Rituximab, a chimeric anti-CD20 antigen, in combination with CHOP or CHOP-like chemotherapy may improve both disease-freely survival and overall survival of naive patients, but it's role in the second-line treatment for relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is uncertain. This study was to evaluate the efficacy of rituximab-containing salvage regimens on relapsed or refractory NHL, and observe the toxicities.

[Long-term outcomes of 392 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients treated with pirarubicin based regimens].

Objective: To analyse the effectiveness and toxicity of combined chemotherapy regimen containing pirarubicin (THP) in the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).

Methods: Three hundred and ninety two patients with NHL were treated by THP containing regimen with or without involved field radiotherapy. The clinical characteristics, response, toxicity and long-term survival rates were analysed.

[Prognostic analysis of patients with nasal-type NK/T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma--a report of 93 cases].

Background & Objective: Nasal-type NK/T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a unique subtype with the manifestation of local necrosis, infection and fever. The efficacy of chemotherapy alone is unsatisfactory; while radiochemotherapy plays some roles in the management of NK/T-cell lymphoma (NK/TCL). This study was to summarize the clinical characteristics, treatment outcome and prognosis of NK/TCL patients.

[Clinical outcomes of 106 patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma treated by standard CHOP regimen].

Background & Objective: T-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are common in Asia, It's biological behavior is different from B-cell NHL. It often shows lower chemo-sensitivity, high incidence of relapse and poor prognosis. This study was designed to analyse the clinical characteristics and to evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity of standard CHOP regimen in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphomas-unspecified (PTCL-U) according to the Revised European- American Lymphoma (REAL) classification.

[Clinical outcomes of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) treated by EPOCH regimen].

Background & Objectives: The biological behavior of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) are different from that of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). It shows low chemosensitivity, high incidence of relapse, poor prognosis, and has no standard chemotherapy regimen. The efficacy of CHOP is poor for PTCL.

[Treatment of lymphoma patients with fludarabine-based regimens: a report of 29 cases].

Background & Objective: Fludarabine is one of the most effective agents for indolent lymphoma and chronic lymphocyte leukemia (CLL). Response rate of single agent for chemotherapy-naive patients ranged from 40%to 87% with 14-60% complete remission (CR) rate has been reported abroad while the response rate of 30%-70% and the CR rate of 10%-38% for pre- treated patients. Significantly higher response rate can be yielded by combined regimen such as FN, FMD, and FC, etc.
