Causal Relationship of Skin Microbiota on Psoriasis: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Objective: Epidemiological investigations have indicated an association between skin microbiota imbalance and psoriasis, however, the causal relationship has not been confirmed through Mendelian randomization (MR). MR employed genetic instrumental variables (IVs) to evaluate the causal relationship between skin microbiota and psoriasis, providing new insights for potential treatments.

Methods: Summary statistics for psoriasis and related traits were available from FinnGen R10 and United Kingdom Biobank (UKB) consortium.

A spatiotemporal analysis of the association between carbon productivity, socioeconomics, medical resources and cardiovascular diseases in southeast rural China.

Introduction: With China's rapid industrialization and urbanization, China has been increasing its carbon productivity annually. Understanding the association between carbon productivity, socioeconomics, and medical resources with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) may help reduce CVDs burden. However, relevant studies are limited.

Spatial patterns and the associated factors for breast cancer hospitalization in the rural population of Fujian Province, China.

Background: Despite the known increasing incidence of breast cancer in China, evidence on the spatial pattern of hospitalization for breast cancer is scarce. This study aimed to describe the disparity of breast cancer hospitalization in the rural population of Southeast China and to explore the impacts of socioeconomic factors and heavy metal pollution in soil.

Methods: This study was conducted using the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) claims data covering 20.

Spatial distribution and influencing factors of thyroid cancer hospitalization rate among rural residents in Fujian Province, China from 2012 to 2016.

This study aimed to explore the spatial distribution and influencing factors of thyroid cancer hospitalization rates in Fujian Province from 2012 to 2016. Hospitalization reimbursement records for thyroid cancer were obtained from 2025 hospitals in Fujian Province from 2012 to 2016. The Moran's I method was used for spatial autocorrelation analysis and to further draw a spatial cluster map in Fujian.

The spatiotemporal correlation of PM concentration on esophageal cancer hospitalization rate in Fujian province of China.

This paper aimed to explore the correlation between PM concentration and hospitalization rate of esophageal cancer in Fujian province, and tried to find out the accurate lag effect between PM and hospitalization rate in 70 counties from the linear and nonlinear aspects. We extracted inpatients data of esophageal cancer from the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) database and air pollutant PM grid data published by the atmospheric composition analysis group. The study showed that the hospitalization rate of esophageal cancer presented spatial aggregation in 70 counties of Fujian province.

Engineering a High-Voltage Durable Cathode/Electrolyte Interface for All-Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries via Electropolymerization.

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based polymer electrolytes have been widely studied as a result of their flexibility, excellent interface contact, and high compatibility with a lithium metal anode. Owing to the poor oxidation resistance of ethers, however, the PEO-based electrolytes are only compatible with low-voltage cathodes, which limits their energy density. Here, a high-voltage stable solid-state interface layer based on polyfluoroalkyl acrylate was constructed via solvent-free bulk electropolymerization between the LiNiMnCoO (NCM811) cathode and the PEO-based solid polymer electrolyte.

Spatial Analysis and Comparison of the Economic Burden of Common Diseases: An Investigation of 5.7 Million Rural Elderly Inpatients in Southeast China, 2010-2016.

As China embraced an aging society, the burden of age-related diseases had increased dramatically. Knowledge about spatial distribution characteristics of disease burden and the influencing factors of medical expenditure is of great significance to the formulation of health policies. However, related research in rural China is still insufficient.

A Prelithiation Separator for Compensating the Initial Capacity Loss of Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Lithium loss during the initial charge process inevitably reduces the capacity and energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Cathode additives are favored with respect to their controllable prelithiation degree and scalable application; however, the insulating nature of their delithiation products retards electrode reaction kinetics in subsequent cycles. Herein, we propose a prelithiation separator by modifying a commercial separator with a LiS/Co nanocomposite to compensate for the initial capacity loss.

Polycationic Polymer Layer for Air-Stable and Dendrite-Free Li Metal Anodes in Carbonate Electrolytes.

The short cycle life and safety concerns caused by uncontrollable dendrite growth have severely hindered the commercialization of lithium metal batteries. Here, a polycationic and hydrophobic polymer protective layer fabricated by a scalable tape-casting method is developed to enable air-stable, dendrite-free, and highly efficient Li metal anodes. The polymeric cations of poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium) (PDDA) provide an electrostatic shielding effect that unifies Li flux at the surface of the Li anode and promotes a homogeneous Li plating, while the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI) anions bring hydrophobic characteristics and improve moisture stability.

Electrochemical (bio) sensors go green.

Electrochemical (bio) sensors are now widely acknowledged as a sensitive detection tool for disease diagnosis as well as the detection of numerous species of pharmaceutical, clinical, industrial, food, and environmental origin. The term 'green' demonstrates the development of electrochemical (bio) sensing platforms utilizing biodegradable and sustainable materials. Development of green sensing platforms is one of the most active areas of research minimizing the use of toxic/hazardous reagents and solvent systems, thereby further reducing the production of chemical wastes in sensor fabrication.

Coordination induced electron redistribution to achieve highly reversible Li-ion insertion chemistry in metal-organic frameworks.

Herein, the coordination-induced increase in the electron density of fused C6 rings in MOFs as high performance anode materials for Li+ ion batteries is described. Zn-PTCA is able to deliver a high specific capacity of 700 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and exhibits excellent cycle performance over 1100 cycles and good rate capability.

Construct an Ultrathin Bismuth Buffer for Stable Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries.

LAGP (LiAlGePO) is a promising solid-state electrolyte (SSE) for all solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASS-LIBs) with its favorable lithium ionic conductivity and good performance on inhibiting lithium dendrite. However, the ultrahigh interfacial resistance between lithium metal anode and LAGP SSEs greatly hinders its application. In this work, a thin film of metallic Bi was sputtered on LAGP to improve the chemical/physical properties of the Li/SSE interface.
