Introduction: Giant colonic diverticulum (GCD) is a rare condition defined by diverticular size over 4 cm. Its presentation is usually asymptomatic.
Present Of Case: We herein report a rare presentation of ruptured GCD in elderly man who suffered from abdominal pain. The patient underwent primary repair and ileostomy to shorten the operation time instead of Hartmann's operation. Post-operative CT revealed complicated GCD with rupture.
Discussion: The exact mechanism of GCD generation is questionable. Most of case is discovered by radiologic exam or computed tomography (CT) incidentally. The most common complications of GCD are perforation and abscess formation.
Conclusion: Symptoms of GCD are like those of usual diverticulosis. But, considering the severity of complications, it is better to prioritize surgical treatment at diagnosis.

Oncolytic virotherapy has shown great promise in mediating targeted tumor destruction through tumor-selective replication and induction of anti-tumor immunity; however, obstacles remain for virus candidates to reach the clinic. These include avoiding neutralizing antibodies, preventing stimulation of the adaptive immune response during intravenous administration, and inducing sufficient apoptosis and immune activation so that the body's defense can work to eradicate systemic disease. We have developed a co-formulation of oncolytic viruses (OVs) with Imagent lipid-encapsulated, perfluorocarbon microbubbles (MBs) to protect the OVs from the innate and adaptive immune system.

Conventional carbon dots (CDs) typically exhibit substantial variations in fluorescence intensity across different pH. This limitation underscores the pressing need for advancements in their stability and performance under diverse environmental conditions. Herein, l-cysteine and neutral red are selected as precursors, and three kinds of CDs, which can emit red, orange, and green fluorescent light (assigned as r-CD, o-CD, g-CD, respectively), are synthesized by simply changing the reaction conditions.

Covalent triazine frameworks, with their ordered pores and crystalline structure that exhibit heteroatom impacts, demonstrate outstanding chemical stability, making them designable for charge storage applications. In this study, the triazine-based covalent organic frameworks (TPT@BDA-COF) was synthesized using 4',4''',4'''''-(1,3,5-Triazine-2,4,6-triyl) tris (([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-amine)) (TPT) and 4,4'-Oxydibenzaldehyde (BDA) following polycondensation process. Interestingly, these resulted in the fabrication of a well-connected, orderly porous crystalline structure, redox-active moiety, and significantly high doping atomic percentages of N (~13.

In this study, the rhombohedral crystalline pure phase BiFeO (BFO) of irregularly shaped spherical particles of ≈100 nm and energy bandgap of ≈2.31 eV are synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method and explored as electrode material for photo-assisted supercapacitor. The electronic structure studies revealed that the coexistence of heterovalent Bi and Fe elements accelerated the electrochemical redox kinetics and photo-assisted charge storage properties.
