Six duodenal ulcer patients were investigated before and after truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty. Four doses of gastrin-17 were injected intravenously (15.625, 31.25, 62.5, and 125 micrograms/kg body weight); the gastric secretory response and the disappearance rate of gastrin were measured. After vagotomy the basal level of gastrin increased from 64 pg/ml to 106 pg/ml. When corrected for the basal levels of gastrin, the peak levels and disappearance rate of gastrin-17 were observed to be the same after vagotomy as before (half-life before vagotomy, 5.6 min; after, 5.8 min). This indicates that vagus does not influence the metabolism of exogenous gastrin-17. The gastric secretion of acid was reduced to 30% after vagotomy, which shows that there is a synergism between vagus and gastrin-17.

Catalysis and specifically autocatalysis are the quintessential building blocks of life. Yet, although autocatalytic networks are necessary, they are not sufficient for the emergence of life-like properties, such as replication and adaptation. The ultimate and potentially fatal threat faced by molecular replicators is parasitism; if the polymerase error rate exceeds a critical threshold, even the fittest molecular species will disappear.

Delivery nanosystems have been widely developed to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy. However, their performance regarding the non-specific leakage of drugs remained unsatisfactory. Herein, gold nanocages (AuNCs) were used as carriers and thermo-sensitive liposome (TSL) as a protective shell to design a camptothecin (CPT)-loaded delivery nanosystem (AuNCs/CPT@TSL) for photothermal-modulated drug release.

Constitutional indocyanine green (ICG) excretion defect (CIED) is a rare clinical condition characterized by markedly delayed ICG disappearance with other normal liver function tests. Here, we report a case of CIED in which laparoscopic anatomical liver resection was successfully performed using ICG fluorescence staining. A 64-year-old man with a 4-cm tumor located in the liver segment 5 was referred to our hospital.

The Ni-rich LiNiCoMnO cathode (NCM, ≥ 0.6) suffers rapid capacity decay due to serious surface degradations from the corrosion of the electrolyte. The processes of the HO- and O-based AlO atomic layer deposition (ALD) on the single-crystal LiNiCoMnO (NCM83) are investigated by measurements to understand the mechanism of their different impacts on the electrochemical performance of NCM83.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tobramycin dexamethasone eye ointment combined with a catheter in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.
Methods: Eighty chronic dacryocystitis patients were randomly divided into two groups: observation ( = 39) and control ( = 41). Both groups underwent endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.
