Tuning [VO] Octahedron of Ammonium Vanadates via F Incorporation for High-Performance Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries.

The electrochemical properties of vanadium-based materials as cathode materials for aqueous zinc ion batteries are still restricted by low conductivity, sluggish reaction kinetics, and poor structural stability. Herein, the [VO] octahedron, as the basic unit of vanadium-oxide layer of ammonium vanadates (NHVO, denoted as NVO), is incorporated by F atoms to regulate the coordinated environment of vanadium. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental results show that both physicochemical and electrochemical properties of NVO are improved by F-doping.

Sodium-Ion Substituted Water Molecule in Layered Vanadyl Phosphate Enhancing Electrochemical Kinetics and Stability of Zinc Ion Storage.

Vanadyl phosphate (VOPO ·2H O) has been regarded as one of the most promising cathode materials for aqueous Zn-ion batteries due to its distinct layered structure. However, VOPO ·2H O has not yet demonstrated the exceptional Zn ion storage performance owing to the structural deterioration during repeated charging/discharging process and poor intrinsic conductivity. In this work, 2D sodium vanadyl phosphate (NaVOPO ·0.

Effect of combination drug therapy during cesarean section in preventing postpartum hemorrhage for women with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.

The study was carried out to observe the effect of combination drug therapy during cesarean section in preventing postpartum hemorrhage for women with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP). The 180 women who had been treated in our hospital for HDCP were enrolled and randomly divided into observation group (sublingual administration of carboprost combined with oxytocin treatment (20IU oxytocin and small pot drip of 10IU oxytocin after delivery) and control group (1mg of carboprost when the fetal head came out and then applied with intramuscular injection of 20IU oxytocin), each containing 90. The comparison of postpartum hemorrhage situation between two groups was carried out.

Spatiotemporal cluster patterns of hand, foot, and mouth disease at the province level in mainland China, 2011-2018.

Although three monovalent EV-A71 vaccines have been launched in mainland China since 2016, hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) still causes a considerable disease burden in China. Vaccines' use may change the epidemiological characters of HFMD. Spatial autocorrelation analysis and space-time scan statistics analysis were used to explore the spatiotemporal distribution pattern of this disease at the provincial level in mainland China.

The expression of linc00161, miR-128 and MAPK1 in ovarian cancer-resistant tissues and cells was tested qRT-PCR, whereas MAPK1 protein expression was examined via western blot in the ovarian cancer resistant cells.

Expression profile of circulating microRNAs as a promising fingerprint for cervical cancer diagnosis and monitoring.

Sensitive and specific biomarkers for the early detection of cervical cancer are urgently required to reduce the high morbidity and mortality of this disease. We previously demonstrated that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are correlated with certain types of human cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the altered profile of serum miRNAs in cervical cancer patients in order to predict cervical cancer at a relative early stage.

Congenital Atresia of Uterine Isthmus: Successful Diagnosis and End-To-End Anastomosis.

Background: Müllerian duct anomalies are rare and occasionally diagnosed in adolescents with primary amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and sexual difficulties. They are present in a variety of forms and sometimes difficult to appropriately classify. The management of malformations remains controversial.

Nearly Normal Congenital Cervical Fragmentation: A Hard-To-Diagnose and Successful End-To-End Anastomosis.

Background: Congenital cervical fragmentation is a very rare genital tract malformation that usually presents in adolescence with primary amenorrhea and cyclic, monthly, lower abdominal pain. We report a nearly normal case of congenital cervical fragmentation and successful end-to-end anastomosis.

Case: A 15-year-old girl presented with primary amenorrhea with cyclic, monthly lower abdominal pain lasting for 15 months without any abnormal imaging findings (pelvic CT scan, ultrasonography, and hysteroscopy).

Activation of G-protein coupled estrogen receptor inhibits the proliferation of cervical cancer cells via sustained activation of ERK1/2.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynaecological women cancer and suggested to be modulated by estrogenic signals. G protein-coupled receptor (GPER), a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor, has been reported to regulate the cell proliferation of various cancers. But there is no study investigating the effects of GPER on the progression of cervical cancer.

Introduction: It is a first case report for a woman pregnant with twins who suddenly ruptured with a Stanford type B aortic dissection.

Materials And Methods: A 24-year-old pregnant patient gravida 1 and para 0 at the 36th gestation week was sent to our Emergency Department under the medical monitoring by the local gynecologist. Her primary complaints were that she suddenly felt "severe tearing chest pain".

Identification of four serum microRNAs from a genome-wide serum microRNA expression profile as potential non-invasive biomarkers for endometrioid endometrial cancer.

Serum microRNAs (miRNAs), with their remarkable stability and unique concentration profiles in patients with various diseases, are promising non-invasive biomarkers for tumor detection. The present study investigated the altered profiles of serum microRNAs in patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) in order to predict the malignancy of the disease at a relatively early stage. TaqMan low-density arrays (TDLAs) were used to perform an analysis in the initial screening phase using serum samples pooled from seven EEC patients and 20 controls.
