Enhanced dielectric performances of strontium barium titanate nanorod composites via improved interfacial compatibility.

High performance film capacitor has attracted widespread attention due to their increasing applications in electronic devices. However, the insufficient dielectric properties of dielectrics in capacitors severely restrict their practical application. In this work, the dielectric performances of polyarylene ether nitrile (PEN) are effectively enhanced by the synthesizing and employing of carboxylated PEN (CPEN) modified one-dimensional (1D) strontium barium titanate nanorod (BSTNR) (CPEN@BSTNR), as well as applying of hot stretching technique.

Controlled Distribution of MXene on the Pore Walls of Polyarylene Ether Nitrile Porous Films for Absorption-Dominated Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Materials.

With the increasing application of electronic devices, absorption-dominated electromagnetic interference shielding materials (EMISM) have garnered significant attention for preventing secondary electromagnetic pollution. In this study, polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified MXene (PEI@MXene) is fabricated and achieved its controlled distribution on the pore walls of polyarylene ether nitrile (PEN) porous films via the phase inversion method (PIM) to obtain a closed porous skeleton of MXene on the pore walls (CPS-MPW). The resulting PEI@MXene/PEN composite film (CFx) exhibited absorption-dominated EMIS efficiency (EMISE).

A case report of dermatomyositis mimicking myasthenia gravis.

Rationale: Patients who have myasthenia gravis or dermatomyositis show clinical signs of muscular weakening. Ocular muscle involvement is uncommon, and symmetrical proximal limb weakness is the typical presentation of dermatomyositis. However, the earliest and most noticeable sign in those with myasthenia gravis is extraocular muscular paralysis.

To date, prophylactic vaccines have been found to be the most effective method to contain the pandemic. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune skin disease that mainly affects older individuals.

OFF-State Leakage Suppression in Vertical Electron-Hole Bilayer TFET Using Dual-Metal Left-Gate and N-Pocket.

In this paper, an InGaAs electron-hole bilayer tunnel field-effect transistor (EHBTFET) with a dual-metal left-gate and an N-pocket (DGNP-EHBTFET) is proposed and systematically studied by means of numerical simulation. Unlike traditional transverse EHBTFETs, the proposed DGNP-EHBTFET can improve device performance without sacrificing the chip density, and can simplify the manufacturing process. The introduction of the dual-metal left-gate and the N-pocket can shift the point-tunneling junction and adjust the energy band and the electric field in it, aiming to substantially degrade the OFF-state current () and maintain good ON-state performance.

Effect of multifunctional laser photoelectricity platform combined with hydroxychloroquine treatment sensitive facial skin.

To observe the clinical efficacy of a multifunctional laser photoelectric platform combined with hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of l sensitive facia skin. A total of 226 patients with sensitive facial skin treated from March 2019 to November 2021 were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups were given an external moisturizer (shumin moisturizer) once in the morning and once in the evening as basic skin care treatment for the disease.

The Effect of Eco-Friendly Inhibitors on the Corrosion Properties of Concrete Reinforcement in Harsh Environments.

In the present research, the synergistic effect of Arabic and guar gum inhibitors on the corrosion efficiency of concrete reinforcement was investigated. Thus, eight types of Arabic and guar gum combinations with 100, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 ppm were added to the steel reinforcement for 1, 7, 28, 48, and 72 days. The corrosion behavior of the samples was investigated by the electrochemical impedance (EIS) test.

LncRNA HOXC-AS1 promotes nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) progression by sponging miR-4651 and subsequently upregulating FOXO6.

The incidence rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the highest among the malignant tumors of otorhinolaryngology, posing a huge burden to public health. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert an important role in tumorigenesis and the progression of various cancers. The present study found that HOXC-AS1 was highly expressed in NPC and in NPC cell lines, suggesting a critical role of HOXC-AS1 in NPC progression.

Treatment of Recurrent Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma of Infratemporal Fossa by Surgery Combined With Carbon Ion Radiotherapy: One Case Report.

We retrospectively analyzed the diagnosis and treatment process of one patient with recurrent undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) of infratemporal fossa and made a definite diagnosis by combining the imaging and pathological examination results. After treatment failure with 2 cycles of chemotherapy and several surgeries, UPS was eventually treated by surgery + carbon ion radiotherapy, and MRI reexamination showed no relapse. Head and neck UPS is located deeply, easily recurs after operation, and difficult to be resected completely by surgery, with a gradually shortened interval of relapse over the number of surgeries, which becomes a treatment challenge.

Direct Transcavernous Sinus Approach for Endoscopic Endonasal Resection of Intracavernous Sinus Tumors.

Objective: Because of its vascular supply and neurovascular contents, the cavernous sinus (CS) is a challenging area to dissect in the setting of skull base tumors with intracavernous extension or invasion. In the present study, we report the clinical outcomes of 14 patients with tumors with CS invasion that were surgically treated using a direct transcavernous sinus approach for endoscopic endonasal resection of their intracavernous sinus tumors.

Methods: Fourteen patients had undergone surgery using a direct endoscopic endonasal transcavernous sinus approach.

Genotype combination contributes to psoriasis: An exhaustive algorithm perspective.

Researchers have learned that nearly all conditions and diseases have a genetic component. With the benefit of technological advances, many single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be associated with the risk of complex disorders by using genome wide association studies (GWASs). Disease-associated SNPs are sometimes shared by healthy controls and cannot clearly distinguish affected individuals from unaffected ones.

Variation at HLA-DPB1 is associated with dermatomyositis in Chinese population.

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a polygenic disorder characterized by inflammation of skeletal muscle and skin. To date, the exact etiopathogenesis of DM remains elusive.
