Long-term exposition of electrodes to aqueous media inevitably results in biofouling and adhesion of bacteria, reducing the electrolysis efficiency of electrodes for water treatment. To ensure technically efficient antifouling of materials for durable electrodes, hierarchical micro-/nano structured boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes were designed and synthesized. Multi-level structured BDD was coated on titanium mesh by a bottom-up strategy, based on a combination of self-assembly seeding and hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) growth.

Material And Methods: In this national retrospective cohort study, we reviewed 167,265 primary KAs registered in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System in China between 2013 and 2018.
Objective: To evaluate the healthcare resource utilisation for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and other major non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) in China.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Setting: A national inpatient database of tertiary hospitals in China.
Article Synopsis
- Qingfei Paidu Tang (QPT), a traditional Chinese medicine, is commonly used in China for treating COVID-19, but its effect on mortality rates was previously unclear.
- A retrospective study analyzed data from 8,939 hospitalized COVID-19 patients and found that those using QPT had a significantly lower mortality rate (1.2%) compared to those not using it (4.8%).
- After adjusting for other variables, QPT use was associated with a 50% reduction in in-hospital mortality, with consistent results across different demographic groups and similar rates of liver and kidney injuries between the two patient groups.

August 2013
China Liver Transplant Registry (CLTR) is the official national liver transplant registry in Mainland China that has been authorized by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China (NHFPC) and serves for both regulatory and scientific purposes. The CLTR 2011 annual scientific reports released national statistics describing current status of liver transplant (LT) in China. This article, as an accompanying document of CLTR 2011 annual scientific report, provides an overview of scientific results for LT in China.
