The development of highly thermally conductive composites that combine visible light/infrared camouflage and information encryption has been endowed with great significance in facilitating the application of 5G communication technology in military fields. This work uses aramid nanofibers (ANF) as the matrix, hetero-structured silver nanowires@boron nitride nanosheets (AgNWs@BNNS) prepared by in situ growth as fillers, which are combined to fabricate sandwich structured thermally conductive and electrically insulating (BNNS/ANF)-(AgNWs@BNNS)-(BNNS/ANF) (denoted as BAB) composite films by "filtration self-assembly, air spraying, and hot-pressing" method. When the mass ratio of AgNWs@BNNS to BNNS is 1 : 1 and the total mass fraction is 50 wt %, BAB composite film has the maximum in-plane thermal conductivity coefficient (λ of 10.36 W/(m ⋅ K)), excellent electrical insulation (breakdown strength and volume resistivity of 41.5 kV/mm and 1.21×10 Ω ⋅ cm, respectively) and mechanical properties (tensile strength of 170.9 MPa). 50 wt % BAB composite film could efficiently reduce the equilibrium temperature of the central processing unit (CPU) working at full power, resulting in 7.0 °C lower than that of the CPU solely integrated with ANF directly. In addition, BAB composite film boasts adaptive visible light/infrared dual camouflage properties on cement roads and jungle environments, as well as the function of fast encryption of QR code information within 24 seconds.

Biodegradable magnesium alloy medical implants have attracted considerable interest thanks to their remarkable biocompatibility and mechanical properties. However, the rapid corrosion rate of magnesium alloys in physiological environments presents a major challenge to their practical application. Therefore, this study attempted to design a silane/chitosan /graphene oxide composite coating that reduces the corrosion and enhances the biodegradation of magnesium alloys used in temporary implants.

Tirzepatide for Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction and Obesity.

N Engl J Med

November 2024

From Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas (M.P.); Imperial College, London (M.P.); RHJ Department of Veterans Affairs, Health System and Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston (M.R.Z., S.E.L.); the Cardiovascular Division, Department of Medicine, University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville (C.M.K.); Flourish Research, Boca Raton, FL (S.J.B.); the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland (V.M.); the Department of Cardiology, Shanghai Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China (J.G.); Eli Lilly, Indianapolis (G.J.W., Y.O., M.C.B., K.C.H., M.M.); and the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN (B.A.B.).

Background: Obesity increases the risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Tirzepatide, a long-acting agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, causes considerable weight loss, but data are lacking with respect to its effects on cardiovascular outcomes.

Methods: In this international, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, 731 patients with heart failure, an ejection fraction of at least 50%, and a body-mass index (the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) of at least 30 to receive tirzepatide (up to 15 mg subcutaneously once per week) or placebo for at least 52 weeks.

Altered intestinal microbiota induced by high-fat diets affect cognition differently in mice.

Nutr Res

December 2024

School of Public Health, Beijing Key Laboratory of Environmental Toxicology, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100069, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how high-fat diets impact cognitive function in mice by altering their gut microbiota.
  • Fecal microbiota from obese mice on various high-fat diets were transplanted to antibiotic-treated mice, showing that some diets led to significant cognitive impairment and neuronal loss in the hippocampus.
  • The findings suggest diets high in saturated and trans fats negatively affect cognition by damaging the hippocampus through changes in gut microbiota, while diets rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may have protective effects.

Article Synopsis
  • Polyesters (PEs) are presented as environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional polymers due to their degradability and recyclability from bio-based materials.
  • A new one-pot, one-step self-switchable polymerization method was used to create bio-based hot-melt adhesives by combining the polymerization of epoxides and cyclic anhydrides with L-lactide, resulting in copolyesters with various architectures.
  • The study found that the adhesive strength of these copolyesters was significantly influenced by their structure, with the (AB)-type star-block copolyester showing competitive adhesive performance compared to commercial adhesives.
