Article Synopsis
  • Bacterial biofilm acts like a protective fortress for bacteria, making it tough for drugs and pesticides to work against them.
  • Scientists are using a method called photopharmacology, which means using light to control how certain molecules behave, to develop new drugs that can tackle these biofilms.
  • They created a special molecule called A11 that can effectively fight against biofilms, and its strength improves even more when exposed to UV light, making it a promising option for future treatments!

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) associated macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is clinically severe, with a high mortality rate and rare neuropsychiatric symptoms. In the course of diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary to actively determine whether the neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients are caused by neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) or macrophage activation syndrome. This paper retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 2 cases of SLE associated MAS with neuropsychiatric lesions, Case 1: A 30-year-old female had obvious alopecia in 2019, accompanied by emaciation, fatigue and dry mouth.

Current gel entrapment technology has certain advantages for the enrichment of anammox sludge. In this study, the optimal preparation conditions and cultivation equipment of Ca-alginate cell beads for the culturing anammox sludge were proposed. The preparation parameters of the Ca-alginate cell beads were as follows: 3% sodium alginate, 4% CaCl, V:V = 1:1, a drop height of 9 cm, stirring speed of 300 rpm, and cross-linking time of 24 h.

The rational delimitation of urban development boundary plays an important role in guiding the orderly growth of urban space and ensure proper environment health of urban space. In this study, we evaluated the ecological sensitivity of Nanchang City from four aspects (soil erosion, habitat, geological disaster and water resource) and simulated urban expansion in 2020 based on CA-Markov and land use data in 2000, 2010 and 2015. Spatial decision-making analysis of the two aspects was carried out in combination to the future development of the study area.

Poyang Lake region is the largest freshwater lake impacted area in China. Quantitative analysis of trade-off and synergy in ecosystem service is of great significance for realizing regional sustainable development. Based on multi-source data of remote sensing, soil, meteorology and DEM, we quantitatively measured food supply service, soil conservation service and water yield service in Poyang Lake region from 2005 to 2015, and analyzed their spatiotemporal patterns and evolution characteristics.

Objective: To compare clinical effect between calcaneal locking plates and tension band with Kirschner's nail for the treatment of patellar fracture.

Methods: From December 2009 to December 2017, 58 patients with patellar fracture were divided into plate group(calcaneal locking plate) and tension band(tension band with Kirschner's nail) by surgical method. There were 29 patients in plate group, including 14 males and 15 females, aged from 18 to 72 years old with an average of (36.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the creation of CdS/(Au-ReS) nanospheres that excel in photocatalytic hydrogen production due to their unique dielectric-plasmon hybrid antenna structure.
  • As the size of the ReS nanospheres increases, their performance improves significantly, achieving a hydrogen production rate of 3060 μmol g h when the ReS diameter reaches 218 ± 25 nm.
  • The results suggest that these hybrid antennas, made from combining 2D materials and metal nanoparticles, hold potential for various applications beyond just photocatalysis, including nonlinear optics.

An antenna-reactor hybrid coupling plasmonic antenna with catalytic nanoparticles is a new strategy to optimize photocatalytic activity. Herein, we have rationally proposed a Au/XS/Au (X = Re, Mo) antenna reactor, which has a large Au core as the antenna and small satellite Au nanoparticles as the reactor separated by an ultrathin two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide XS shell (∼2.6 nm).

Three component hybrid (MoS-TiO)/Au substrate is fabricated by loading plasmonic Au nanorods on the MoS nanosheets coated TiO nanorod arrays. It is used for photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell and photocatalyst for hydrogen generation. Owing to the charge transfer between the MoS-TiO hetero-structure, the PEC current density and hydrogen generation of TiO nanoarrays are enhanced 2.

Objective: To explore the influence of Free-skin-grafted penoscrotal avulsion injuries on spermatogenesis.

Methods: Forty-two male New Zealand albino rabbits during child-bearing period were divided into the experimental group (n = 24) and the control group (n = 18) using random digits table, and 24 female rabbits with reproductive history were used for mating experiment. The experimental group animal's scrotum skin were excised, and the split skin from abdominal region was used to repair the skin defect of scrotum.

The electrochemistry and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of novel three-dimensional nanostructured Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)/Ni(OH)(2) microspheres were investigated for the first time. The negatively charged porous Ni(OH)(2) microspheres composed of Ni(OH)(2) nanowires were specifically designed to interact with Ru(bpy)(3)(2+). The large surface area and porous structure of Ni(OH)(2) microspheres enhance loading of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) and mass transport of the model analyte, tripropylamine (TPA).
