Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the connection between four novel lipid indices and the presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), as lipids are known to play a role in cardiovascular diseases.
  • A total of 219 participants were involved, including patients with varying severities of WMHs and healthy controls, with lipid levels being carefully monitored and categorized based on the Fazekas rating scale.
  • Results showed that the novel lipid indices (LDL-C/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, Non-HDL-C) were strongly linked to WMHs, outperforming traditional lipid measures in diagnostic effectiveness, particularly in female participants.

A novel tungsten disulfide-molybdenum copper oxide composite supported with graphene quantum dots (WM@GQDs) has been synthesized as a counter electrode (CE) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using a simple and low-cost ultrasonication method. The unique structure of WM@GQDs exhibits excellent power conversion efficiency due to its high catalytic activity and charge transport properties. In addition, the graphene quantum dots (GQDs) provide more active sites in the zero-dimensional materials for an I/I redox reaction which can improve the electrical and optical properties of the composite.

Sino-Precious Metals Holding Co., Ltd, Kunming, 650000, P. R. China.

The phase equilibria of the Ag-Ni-Zr ternary system were investigated based on the key experiments coupled with thermodynamic modeling. Thirty ternary alloys were prepared to determine the isothermal sections of the Ag-Ni-Zr system at 500, 700 and 900 °C, respectively, by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Based on the thermodynamic descriptions of three binary systems available in the literature as well as the experimental phase equilibrium data obtained from the present work, ten three-phase regions were determined.

Surface treatment is known as a very efficient measure by which to modulate the surface properties of biomaterials in terms of grain structure, topography, roughness and chemistry to determine the osseointegration of implants. In this work, a two-step method of surface modification was employed to impart high osteogenic activity and biomineralization capacity on a Ti-25Nb-3Mo-2Sn-3Zr alloy (a type of β-titanium named TLM). The preliminary surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) refined the average grain size from 170 ± 19 μm to 74 ± 8 nm in the TLM surface layer and promoted the surface to be much rougher and more hydrophilic.

NiCo alloy particles (NiCo-APs)@hydrophilic carbon cloth (HCC) composites were successfully prepared by uniformly decorating magnetic NiCo-APs on the surface of three-dimensional HCC by employing an in-situ hydrothermal method. The NiCo-APs@HCC composites exhibited a unique corncob-like network structure that helped improve the electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance of composites. The EMW absorption properties of the composites could be controlled by altering the Ni/Co molar ratio.

We described the novel nanocomposite of silver doped ZrO combined graphene-based mesoporous silica (ZrO-Ag-G-SiO,) in bases of low-cost and self-assembly strategy. Synthesized ZrO-Ag-G-SiO were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectroscopy, Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS). The ZrO-Ag-G-SiO as an enzyme-free glucose sensor active material toward coordinate electro-oxidation of glucose was considered through cyclic voltammetry in significant electrolytes, such as phosphate buffer (PBS) at pH 7.

Developing light-weight, thin thickness and high-efficiency electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers was regarded as an effective strategy for dealing with the increasingly serious problem of electromagnetic radiation pollution. Herein, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotubes/zinc ferrite (NRGO/MWCNTs/ZnFeO) composite aerogel was synthesized via solvothermal followed by hydrothermal and lyophilization processes. Morphological characterization results manifested that the attained ternary composite aerogel displayed unique three-dimensional porous netlike structure, which was composed of partial stack of adjacent NRGO sheets entangled by MWCNTs and decorated with ZnFeO microspheres.
