Internal Electric Field Facilitates Facet-Dependent Photocatalytic Cl Utilization on BiOCl in High-Salinity Wastewater for Ammonium Removal.

High Cl concentration in saline wastewater (e.g., landfill leachate) limits wastewater purification.

Near-infrared light-assisted methanol oxidation reaction over the ferrous phosphide.

Ferrous phosphide (FeP) possesses both functions of near-infrared light (NIR) responsive and metal-support interactional behaviors, which will show great significance in photo-assisted electrocatalytic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) areas. Hereby, we use FeP as the support to load Pt nanoparticles and investigate the performance of the as-obtained Pt-FeP for MOR. The results show that the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis contributes to the high-performance MOR, especially under NIR irradiation.

Prognostic values of preoperative platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, albumin and hemoglobin in patients with non-metastatic colon cancer.

Preoperative platelet-to-monocyte ratio (PLR), albumin and hemoglobin are suggested prognostic indicators in various malignancies. However, the prognostic values of PLR, albumin and hemoglobin remain elusive. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic values of PLR, albumin and hemoglobin in stage I-III colon cancer.

Proteomic Maps of Human Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Subgroups.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a common sarcoma of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) with high metastatic and recurrence rates, but the proteomic features are still less understood. Here we performed systematic quantitative proteome profiling of GIST from 13 patients classified into very low/low, intermediate and high risk subgroups. An extended cohort of GIST ( = 131) was used for immunohistochemical validation of proteins of interest.

The predictive value and the correlation of peripheral absolute monocyte count, tumor-associated macrophage and microvessel density in patients with colon cancer.

The tumor microenvironment plays a pivotal role in cancer progression. The purpose of the present study was designed to evaluate the predictive value of peripheral absolute monocyte count, tumor-associated macrophage, microvessel density, and to clarify the correlation between them in patients with colon cancer.A series of 216 patients with colon cancer were enrolled in this study.

Solution-processed two-dimensional layered heterostructure thin-film with optimized thermoelectric performance.

Graphene-based two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures have ignited intensive interest in recent years because of their excellent physical performance. However, the most common method to prepare them uses chemical vapor deposition, which has the drawback of a complex process unsuitable for large-scale production. In this respect, reduced graphene oxide and transitional metal dichalcogenides (rGO-TMDs) composite thin-films were fabricated by a simple solution-processing method and their thermoelectric performance was investigated systematically.
