An experience of managing inoperable tumors of extrahepatic ducts in patients with medially- and centrally-localized breast tumors, using large doses of 192Ir radiation (10 curie) emitted from a MecroSelectron installation, is presented. The installation has proved instrumental in carrying out intraluminal and intrastitial radiotherapy since it provides access to localizations inaccessible by other means used in such procedures.

Along with the rapid development of the digital economy and artificial intelligence, heat sinks available for immersion phase-change liquid cooling (IPCLC) of chips are facing huge challenges. Here, we design a high-performance IPCLC heat sink based on a copper microgroove/nanocone (MGNC) composite structure. Maximal heat fluxes () of the MGNC structure, microgroove structure, and flat copper reach 112.

Human hair keratin, a natural protein derived from human hair, has emerged prominently in the field of wound repair, showcasing its unique regenerative capabilities and extensive application potential. However, it is a challenge for the keratin to efficiently therapy the impaired wound healing, such as combined radiation-wound injury. Here, we report a keratin/chitosan (KRT/CS) film for skin repair of chronic wounds in in rats with combined radiation-wound injury.
