In contrast to skin surface or sebum lipid, cattle epidermis was found to contain a lower proportion of wax ester and unesterified fatty acid and a high proportion of triglyceride. The epidermal triglycerides differed significantly in their fatty acid composition from those of the skin surface and sebum. In particular they contained extremely low levels of linoleic acid. It is concluded that the skin surface triglycerides and most likely the other major lipid fractions of the bovine skin surface are derived mainly from sebum.

Non-Hermiticity gives rise to distinctive topological phenomena absent in Hermitian systems. However, connection between such intrinsic non-Hermitian topology and Hermitian topology has remained largely elusive. Here, considering the bulk and boundary as an environment and system, respectively, we demonstrate that anomalous boundary states in Hermitian topological insulators exhibit non-Hermitian topology.

Intelligent electronic textiles have important application value in the field of wearable electronics due to their unique structure, flexibility, and breathability. However, the currently reported electronic textiles are still challenged by issues such as their biocompatibility, photothermal conversion, and electromagnetic wave contamination. Herein, a multifunctional biomass-based conductive coating was developed using natural carboxymethyl starch (CMS), dopamine and polypyrrole (PPy) and then further employed for constructing multifunctional intelligent electronic textiles.

Purpose: This study evaluated beam quality and radiation dosimetry of a CT scanner equipped with a novel detector and filtration technology called PureVision Optics (PVO). PVO features miniaturized electronics, a detector cut with microblade technology, and increased filtration in order to increase x-ray detection and reduce image noise.
Methods: We assessed the performance of two similar 320-detector CT scanners: one equipped with PVO and one without.

Background: On June 13, 2020, an explosion involving a liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker truck occurred in eastern China. Fifteen patients with extremely severe burns (referred to as "June 13" patients) were treated in the burn-intensive care unit (ICU) joint ward within the general ICU.
Methods: A multidisciplinary treatment team comprising 129 doctors, 126 nurses, and 165 auxiliary staff members was assembled.
