Objective: To investigate a family with congenital dysfibrinogenemia, and analyze the risk of hemorrhage and thrombosis and blood transfusion strategies.

Methods: Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin time (TT) of the proband and her family members were detected by automatic coagulometer, fibrinogen (Fg) activity and antigen were detected by Clauss method and PT algorithm respectively. Meanwhile, thromboelastometry was analyzed for proband and her family members.

Carbon dots (CDs), a new zero-dimensional material, have ignited a revolution in the fields of sensing, bioimaging, and biomedicine. However, the difficulty of preparing CDs with Fenton-like catalytic properties has seriously hindered their application in the diagnosis of oxidation/reduction biomolecules or metal ions. Here, an innovative method was successfully established to synthesize Mn/Mn ion-doped blue-green fluorescent CDs with Fenton-like catalytic properties using manganese acetate as the manganese source.

A design-inexpensive, effective, and easy-to-prepare additive in the large-scale preparation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is urgently desired to alleviate the future energy crisis. Carbon-based quantum dots have demonstrated novel nanomaterials with excellent chemical stability and high electrical conductivity, which exhibit great potential as additives for perovskite optoelectronics. Herein, we designed novel highly fluorescent collagen-based quantum dots (Col-QDs) and thoroughly studied the micromorphological characteristics, photoluminescence properties, and the states of surface-functionalized groups on the Col-QDs.

Purpose: Ample evidence has revealed that the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR), and mean platelet volume (MPV) are cancer-related inflammatory markers. The present study aimed to combine these indicators to better assess the progression of colon cancer.

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 251 patients with colon cancer, 171 patients with benign colon diseases, and 187 healthy control subjects.

High expression of PIN1 is associated with gastric cancer progression and risk. Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms in , rs2233678 and rs2233679, were examined in gastric cancer patients using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The rs2233678 GC genotype and C alleles correlated with a decreased susceptibility to gastric cancer.

Windows are the least energy efficient part of the buildings, as building accounts for 40% of global energy consumption. Traditional smart windows can only regulate solar transmission, while all the solar energy on the window is wasted. Here, for the first time, the authors demonstrate an energy saving and energy generation integrated smart window (ESEG smart window) in a simple way by combining louver structure solar cell, thermotropic hydrogel, and indium tin oxides (ITO) glass.

There are little data available regarding the frequencies of the blood group antigens other than ABO and RhD in the Chinese Zhuang and Dong population. Knowledge of the antigen frequencies is important to assess risk of antibody formation and to guide the probability of finding antigen-negative donor blood, which is especially useful when blood is required for a patient who has multiple red cell alloantibodies. The aim of this study is sought to massively screen for rare blood donors with antigen-negative (e.

Objective: To screen rare blood groups Fy(a-), s-, k-, Di(b-) and Js(b-) in an ethnic Zhuang population.

Methods: Sequence-specific primers were designed based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites of blood group antigens Fy(b) and s. A specific multiplex PCR system I was established.
