Amorphous Nickel Hydroxide Shell on NiP Nanorods for Boosted Highly Stable Overall Water Splitting at High Current.

Developing highly active, highly stable, and cheap electrocatalysts for water splitting is of great significance for hydrogen production. Herein, we report an amorphous Ni(OH)-clothed transition NiP catalyst, in which the amorphous Ni(OH) shell provides catalytic active sites and serves as a proton conductive encapsulation layer to ensure efficient proton supply to the active NiP sites. As expected, the NiP@Ni(OH) catalyst exhibits significant water decomposition performance at low and high current densities of 10, 100, and 1000 mA cm at 1.

An initial study of core muscles using ultrasound in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease, resulting in bone pain and fragility fractures. This study sought to explore the ultrasonic characteristics of core muscles in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Methods: A total of 91 participants underwent ultrasound examinations of the lumbar and abdominal core muscles.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and its differential diagnosis in 21 patients with intrahepatic space-occupying lesions under the background of fatty liver.

Background: The sonographic appearance in intrahepatic space-occupying lesions under the background of fatty liver is atypical. This study aimed to explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the differential diagnosis of intrahepatic space-occupying lesions under the background of fatty liver.

Methods: Twenty-one patients with intrahepatic space-occupying lesions under the background of fatty liver who were treated in our hospital from January 2017 to September 2020 and met the inclusion/ exclusion criteria were enrolled in this study.

Application of ultrasonic shear wave elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of patients with benign and malignant thyroid lesions.

Background: Thyroid nodules are a common thyroid disorder. The aim of the present study was to observe the application value of ultrasonic shear wave elastography (SWE) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the differential diagnosis of patients with benign and malignant thyroid lesions.

Methods: Eighty-two patients with thyroid nodules (96 thyroid nodules) at our hospital were enrolled.

Systemic immune-inflammation index and ultrasonographic classification of breast imaging-reporting and data system predict outcomes of triple-negative breast cancer.

Introduction: This research was conducted to explore the relationship between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) classification using ultrasonography and the survival of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in a cohort of Chinese.

Methods: A total of 215 TNBC patients treated at our hospital between November 2008 and March 2016 were enrolled in this study. We used the log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier curves to assess the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) differences between groups.
