Concomitant atypical knee gout and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis: A case report.

Background: Gout and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (SNRA) are two distinct inflammatory joint diseases whose co-occurrence is relatively infrequently reported. Limited information is available regarding the clinical management and prognosis of these combined diseases.

Case Summary: A 57-year-old woman with a 20-year history of joint swelling, tenderness, and morning stiffness who was negative for rheumatoid factor and had a normal uric acid level was diagnosed with SNRA.

Elimination of Intragrain Defect to Enhance the Performance of FAPbI Perovskite Solar Cells by Ionic Liquid.

Ionic liquids have been widely used to improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and are generally believed to passivate defects on the grain boundaries of perovskites. However, few studies have focused on the relevant effects of ionic liquids on intragrain defects in perovskites which have been shown to be critical for the performance of PSCs. In this work, the effect of ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide (HMII) on intragrain defects of formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI) perovskite is investigated.

Evaluation of diagnostic efficacy of NRP-1/CD304 in hematological diseases.

Background: Previous studies had explored the diagnostic or prognostic value of NRP-1/CD304 in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), whereas the expression and application value of NRP-1/CD304 in other common hematological diseases have not been reported.

Methods: Bone marrow samples from 297 newly diagnosed patients with various hematological diseases were collected to detect the expression of NRP-1/CD304 by flow cytometry (FCM). The diagnostic efficacy of NRP-1/ CD304-positive diseases was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was compared.

[Spatiotemporal Distribution and Source Apportionment of Suspended Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Surface Water].

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a type of typical environmental pollutant with carcinogenic effects and high ecological risk. With the development of industry, surface water acts as a primary sink for PAHs. Owing to their low solubility, a significant amount of PAHs are adsorbed onto suspended particulate matter in surface water, which presents a serious risk to human health and the ecological environment.

[Application of individualized controllable stress external fixation in open tibial fractures].

Objective: To study the clinical effect of individualized controllable stress external fixator in the treatment of open tibial fractures.

Methods: From December 2018 to July 2020, 60 patients with open tibial fractures were treated, including 35 males and 25 females;The age ranged from 23 to 58 years;The course of disease was 1.2 to 10.

High tumor mutation burden in a patient with metastatic gastric cancer sensitive to trastuzumab: a case report.

Patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer (GC) can benefit from the addition of trastuzumab. However, not all patients with HER2-positive GC respond to trastuzumab. Biomarkers affecting its efficacy in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) are largely unknown.

Whole-brain radiotherapy plus sequential or simultaneous integrated boost for the treatment of a limited number of brain metastases in non-small cell lung cancer: A single-institution study.

Background: To compare the survival outcomes and neurocognitive dysfunction in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases (BM ≤10) treated by whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) with sequential integrated boost (SEB) or simultaneous integrated boost (SIB).

Materials: Fifty-two NSCLC patients with a limited number of BMs were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty cases received WBRT+SEB (WBRT: 3 Gy*10 fractions and BMs: 4 Gy*3 fractions; SEB group), and 32 cases received WBRT+SIB (WBRT: 3 Gy*10 fractions and BMs: 4 Gy*10 fractions; SIB group).

[Study on Technological Characteristic of the Proto-Porcelain on Western Zhou Dynasty Excavated from Zhouyuan Site in Shaanxi Province].

In southern region, the proto- porcelain have been found in large number and its excavation sites are relatively concentrated, thus its processing technique and origin have been studied thoroughly. However, as to proto-porcelain in northern region, the unearthed sites are scattered in distribution and its quantity is less. So there is limited analysis as to the technology.

[Effect of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of Zusanli (ST 36) and Liangqiu (ST 34) combined with general anesthesia on pain and gastrointestinal symptoms in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic operation].

Objective: To observe the effects of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) combined with general anesthesia (acupuncture analgesia combined with general anesthesia) on postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting and exhausted defecation symptoms in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic operation.

Methods: Sixty patients with gynecological laparoscopic operation were randomly divided into TAES group and control group, with 30 cases in each group. Patients of the control group received simple general anesthesia and those of the TAES group were treated with general anesthesia and TAES of bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) and Liangqiu (ST 34) .
