LiNbO Coating and F Doping Stabilize the Crystal Structure and Ameliorate the Interface of LiNiCoMnAlO to Improve the Electrochemical Properties and Safety Capability.

Ni-rich layered materials Li[NiCoMnAl]O ( > 0.8) are regarded as the competitive cathode for practical applications in lithium-ion batteries owing to the large discharging capacity. Nevertheless, the strong oxidation activity, the poor structure, and the thermal stability at the electrode-electrolyte interface would lead to much trouble, for example, inferior electrochemical properties and acute safety issues.

Prognostic value of tumor deposits and positive lymph node ratio in stage III colorectal cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: In colorectal cancer (CRC), tumor deposits (TD) have been used to guide the N staging only in node-negative patients. It remains unknown about the prognostic value of TD in combination with positive lymph node ratio (LNR) in stage III CRC.

Patients And Methods: The authors analyzed data from 31 139 eligible patients diagnosed with stage III CRC, including 30 230 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database as a training set and 909 from two Chinese hospitals as a validation set.

Effect of different surgical options on the long-term survival of stage I gallbladder cancer: a retrospective study based on SEER database and Chinese Multi-institutional Registry.

Background: Gallbladder cancer (GC) is a uncommon and highly malignant tumor. This study compared the effects of simple cholecystectomy (SC) and extended cholecystectomy (EC) on the long-term survival of stage I GC.

Methods: Patients with stage I GC between 2004 and 2015 in the SEER database were selected.

Diet-Derived Circulating Antioxidants and Risk of Digestive System Tumors: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Previous observational case-control studies have shown significant controversy over the impact of dietary intake-related circulating antioxidants on the risk of digestive system tumors. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomized (MR) analysis to determine whether there was a significant causal relationship between increased levels of circulating antioxidants and digestive system tumors. Our circulating antioxidants (vitamin C, carotenoids, vitamin A, and vitamin E) were derived from absolute circulating antioxidants and circulating antioxidant metabolites, and their corresponding instrumental variables were screened from published studies.

Comparable long-term survival of patients with colorectal or gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors treated with endoscopic vs. surgical resection.

Background And Aims: With the development of endoscopic technology, endoscopic treatment has been widely used in Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). However, population-based studies comparing the long-term results of patients who received endoscopic treatment vs. Surgery are lacking.
