Article Synopsis
  • Carbon-based materials with a good balance of defects and microcrystals show potential as effective anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), offering better capacity and conductivity.
  • The molecular chemistry technique involving cross-linking and defect repair helps manage the trade-off between active sites and conductivity limitations in these materials.
  • The resulting carbon material improves ion transfer and increases capacity significantly, from 162.5 to 336.5 mAh g, demonstrating a successful approach to enhancing SIB performance through microstructural regulation.

Food poisoning caused by histamine ingestion is one of the prevalent allergies associated with fish consumption in the world. Reliable detection of histamine from fish by a portable platform was of urgent importance to food safety. A portable technology for on-site monitoring of histamine in tuna was established through combined azo-derivatized thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy.

Background: Esophageal cancer (EC) is the sixth leading cause of cancer-associated death worldwide. The interaction of environmental risk factors and genetic factors might contribute to the carcinogenesis of EC synergistically.

Results: All seven single locus polymorphisms of ALDH3B2 were not associated with risk of ESCC as evaluated by allelic, dominant, co-dominant, recessive and Cochran-Armitage trend tests.

Gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) is one of the most common malignant tumors. In addition to environmental risk factors, genetic factors might play an important role in GCA carcinogenesis. To evaluate the association between polymorphisms in the interleukin 17A (IL17A) gene on the development of GCA, we conducted a hospital-based case-control study.

Esophageal cancer (EC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, and esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) accounts for more than 90% of ECs. We hypothesized that genetic factors might play an important role in ESCC carcinogenesis. We conducted a hospital-based case-control study to evaluate the association between two single nucleotide polymorphisms of decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), namely, rs2297441 G > A and rs2257440 T > C, on the ESCC risk.
