RESUMEN
The chlorine evolution reaction (CER) is a crucial anode reaction in the chlor-alkali industrial process. Precious metal-based dimensionally stable anodes (DSAs) are commonly used as catalysts for CER but are constrained by their high cost and low selectivity. Herein, a Pt dual singe-atom catalyst (DSAC) dispersed on fluorine-doped carbon nanotubes (F-CNTs) is designed for an efficient and robust CER process. The prepared Pt DSAC demonstrates excellent CER activity with a low overpotential of 21 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a remarkable mass activity of 3802.6 A gpt-1 at an overpotential around 30 mV, outperforming those of commercial DSA and Pt single-atom catalysts. The excellent CER performance of Pt DSAC is attributed to the high atomic utilization and improved intrinsic activity. Notably, introducing fluorine atoms on CNTs increases the oxidation and chlorination resistance of Pt DSAC, and reduces the demetalization ratio of Pt atoms, resulting in excellent long-term CER stability. Theoretical calculations reveal that several Pt DSAC configurations with optimized first-shell ligands and interatomic distance display lower energy barriers for Cl intermediates generation and weaker ionic Pt-Cl bond interaction, which are favorable for the CER process.
RESUMEN
Commercial lithium-ion batteries are gradually approaching their theoretical values (200-250 Wh kg-1), which cannot meet the fast-growing energy storage demands. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are anticipated to supersede lithium-ion batteries as the next-generation energy storage system owing to their high theoretical specific capacity (1675 mAh g-1) and energy density (2600 Wh kg-1). Nonetheless, Li-S batteries encounter several challenges, including the inadequate conductivity of sulfur and lithium sulfide, sulfur's volume expansion, and the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides, all of which significantly impact the practical utilization of Li-S batteries. Electrospun carbon-based nanofibers can simultaneously resolve these issues with their economical preparation, distinctive nanostructure, and exceptional flexibility. This review presents the most recent research findings on electrospun carbon-based nanofibers materials serving as sulfur hosts and interlayer components in Li-S batteries. We analyzed the impact of the material's structural design on the performance of Li-S batteries and the relative underlying mechanism. Finally, the current challenges and issues faced by carbon-based nanofibers composites in the application of Li-S batteries are summarized, and the future development trajectory are outlined.
RESUMEN
Transition metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been regarded as possible alternatives to platinum-based materials due to their satisfactory performance of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). By contrast, main-group metal elements are rarely studied due to their unfavorable surface and electronic states. Herein, a main-group Sn-based SAC with penta-coordinated and asymmetric first-shell ligands is reported as an efficient and robust ORR catalyst. The introduction of the vertical oxygen atom breaks the symmetric charge balance, modulating the binding strength to oxygen intermediates and decreasing the energy barrier for the ORR process. As expected, the prepared Sn SAC exhibits outstanding ORR activity with a high half-wave potential of 0.912 V (vs RHE) and an excellent mass activity of 13.1 A mgSn-1 at 0.850 V (vs RHE), which surpasses that of commercial Pt/C and most reported transition-metal-based SACs. Additionally, the reported Sn SAC shows excellent ORR stability due to the strong interaction between Sn sites and the carbon support with oxygen atom as the bridge. The excellent ORR performance of Sn SAC was also proven by both liquid- and solid-state zinc-air battery (ZAB) measurements, indicating its great potential in practical applications.
RESUMEN
Acute portal vein thrombosis (PVST), a serious complication of liver cirrhosis, is characterized as abdominal pain secondary to intestinal ischemia, and even intestinal necrosis. Anticoagulation is recommended for the treatment of acute PVST, but is often postponed in cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding or those at a high risk of variceal bleeding. Herein, we reported a 63-year-old male with a 14-year history of alcoholic liver cirrhosis who developed progressive abdominal pain related to acute portal vein and superior mesenteric vein thrombosis immediately after endoscopic variceal ligation combined with endoscopic cyanoacrylate glue injection for acute variceal bleeding. Fortunately, acute PVST was successfully recanalized by the use of low molecular weight heparin. Collectively, this case suggests that acute symptomatic PVST can be secondary to endoscopic variceal therapy in liver cirrhosis, and can be safely and successfully treated by anticoagulation.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND/AIM: Gliomas are the most prevalent brain tumors with metabolic alterations playing a pivotal role in disease progression. However, the precise coordination of metabolic alterations with tumor-promoting cellular mechanisms, leading to tumor initiation, progression, and aggressiveness, resulting in poor outcomes, remains poorly understood in gliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a metabolism-targeted differential gene expression analysis using glioma patients' expression profiling data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. In addition, pathway enrichment analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), transcription factor prediction, network construction, and correlation analyses were performed. Survival analyses were performed in R. All results were validated using independent GEO expression datasets. RESULTS: Metabolism-targeted analysis identified 5 hits involved in diverse metabolic processes linking them to disease aggressiveness in gliomas. Subsequently, we established that cell cycle progression and hyper-proliferation are key drivers of tumor progression and aggressiveness in gliomas. One of the identified metabolic hits, DNA primase 2 (PRIM2), a gene involved in DNA replication was found directly associated with cell cycle progression in gliomas. Furthermore, our analysis indicated that PRIM2, along with other cell cycle-related genes, is under the control of and regulated by the oncogenic MYC transcription factor in gliomas. In addition, PRIM2 expression alone is enough to predict MYC-driven cell cycle progression and is associated with tumor progression, aggressive disease state, and poor survival in glioma patients. CONCLUSION: Our findings highlight PRIM2 as a marker of MYC-driven cell cycle progression and hyper-proliferation, disease onset and progression, tumor aggressiveness, and poor survival in glioma patients.

A robust, microporous, and photoactive aluminum-based metal-organic framework (Al-MOF, LCU-600) has been assembled by an in situ-formed [Al3O(CO2)6] trinuclear building unit and a tritopic carbazole ligand. LCU-600 shows a high water stability and permanent porosity for N2 and CO2 adsorption. Notably, the incorporation of photoresponsive carbazole moieties into LCU-600 makes it a highly efficient and recyclable photocatalyst for aerobic photo-oxidation of sulfides into sulfoxides under an air atmosphere at room temperature. Mechanism investigations unveil that photogenerated holes (h+), superoxide radical anion (O2â¢-), and singlet oxygen (1O2) are critical active spices for the photo-oxidation reaction performed in an air atmosphere.
RESUMEN
A 55-year-old male swallowed fish bone accidentally and subsequently developed retrosternal pain. He underwent chest computed tomography at his local hospital on October 23, 2023, showing esophageal foreign body with suspected esophageal rupture. One day later, he underwent endoscopy at our department, showing a fish bone penetrated into the esophageal wall. After consultation with cardiothoracic surgeons, endoscopy-guided removal of this foreign body was performed under anesthesia. An esophageal ulcer with a length of 2cm was left with overflowing air bubbles, and was closed by three metal clips. Two days later, retrosternal pain disappeared. A tube was intubated to duodenal distal segment under endoscopy, via which enteral nutritional suspension was given. Then, he was discharged.
RESUMEN
Wearable bioelectronic devices, which circumvent issues related to the large size and high cost of clinical equipment, have emerged as powerful tools for the auxiliary diagnosis and long-term monitoring of chronic psychiatric diseases. Current devices often integrate multiple intricate and expensive devices to ensure accurate diagnosis. However, their high cost and complexity hinder widespread clinical application and long-term user compliance. Herein, we developed an ultralow-cost poly(vinylidene fluoride)/zinc oxide nanofiber film-based piezoelectric sensor in a thermal compression bonding process. Our piezoelectric sensor exhibits remarkable sensitivity (13.4 mV N-1), rapid response (8 ms), and exceptional stability over 2000 compression/release cycles, all at a negligibly low fabrication cost. We demonstrate that pulse wave, blink, and speech signals can be acquired by the sensor, proposing a single biomechanical modality to monitor multiple physiological traits associated with bipolar disorder. This ultralow-cost and mass-producible piezoelectric sensor paves the way for extensive long-term monitoring and immediate feedback for bipolar disorder management.

Ammonia is vital for fertilizer production, hydrogen storage, and alternative fuels. The conventional Haber-Bosch process for ammonia production is energy-intensive and environmentally harmful. Designing environmentally friendly and low-energy consumption strategies for electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (ENRR) in mild conditions is meaningful. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been studied extensively for NRR due to their high atomic utilization and unique electronic structure but are limited by their poor faradic efficiency and low ammonia formation yield. Dual single-atom catalysts (DSACs) have recently emerged as a promising solution for the effective activation of molecular N2 , providing diverse active sites and synergistic interactions between adjacent atoms. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in metal DSACs for electrochemical ENRR based on both theoretical calculations and experimental studies, including aspects such as their variety, coordination, support, N2 adsorption and activity mechanisms, the characterization of NRR and electrochemical cell Configuration. We also address challenges and prospects in this rapidly evolving field, providing a comprehensive overview of DSACs for ENRR.
RESUMEN
In this study, a gold nanoparticles colorimetric probe (AuNPs) with direct response to mercury ions (Hg2+) were developed using treated N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) as precursors. NMP showed good reducibility after high temperature hydrolysis and could be used as reducing and stabilizing agent to synthesize AuNPs. The prepared AuNPs have obvious characteristic absorption peaks and appear wine-red. At the same time, it was found that the presence of Hg2+ can cause the aggregation of AuNPs, increased the absorbance at 700 nm, and changed the color of the solution into blue-gray. This method is capable of sensitive and specific determination of Hg2+ ranging from 1 to 30 µM, with the limit of detection (LOD) at 0.3 µM. The method showed good specificity for the determination of Hg2+ and has the potential to be applied to Hg2+ detection in sewage samples in the environment.
RESUMEN
In this study, a test strip for fluorometric analysis of iron ion (Fe3+) was constructed based on nitrogen, zinc and copper codoped carbon dots (NZC-CDs) as fluorescence probes. NZC-CDs were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The morphology, size, components, crystal state and optical properties of NZC-CDs were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques, respectively. NZC-CDs exhibited bright blue fluorescence under UV lamp with a quantum yield at 17.76%. The fluorescence of NZC-CDs was quenched by Fe3+possibly due to the static quenching. The possible fluorescence quenching mechanism was also discussed. The quenching fluorescence was linear with the concentration of Fe3+in the range of 2.5-400µM with a low detection limit of 0.5µM. For the convenient detection, the test strips based on filter paper were employed for Fe3+assay. Moreover, the present approach was successfully applied in the determination of Fe3+in real samples including black fungus, duck blood and pork liver. The sensing method had the potential application in more food analysis.
RESUMEN
Optical frequency combs with more than 10 W have paved the way for extreme ultraviolet combs generation by interaction with inert gases, leading to extreme nonlinear spectroscopy and the ultraviolet nuclear clock. Recently, the demand for an ultra-long-distance time and frequency space transfer via optical dual-comb proposes a new challenge for high power frequency comb in respect of power scaling and optical frequency stability. Here we present a frequency comb based on fiber chirped pulse amplification (CPA), which can offer more than 20 W output power. We further characterize the amplifier branch noise contribution by comparing two methods of locking to an optical reference and measure the out-of-loop frequency instability by heterodyning two identical high-power combs. Thanks to the low noise CPA, reasonable locking method, and optical path-controlled amplifiers, the out-of-loop beat note between two combs demonstrates the unprecedented frequency stability of 4.35 × 10-17 at 1s and 6.54 × 10-19 at 1000 s.
RESUMEN
Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) delivers agents directly into tumors and the surrounding parenchyma. Although a promising concept, clinical applications are often hampered by insufficient treatment efficacy. Toward developing an effective CED-based strategy for delivering drugs with proven clinical efficacy, we performed a basic characterization study to explore the locally delivered characteristics of the water soluble nitrosourea nimustine hydrochloride (ACNU). First, ACNU distribution after CED in rodent brain was studied using mass spectrometry imaging. Clearance of 14C-labeled ACNU after CED in striatum was also studied. ACNU was robustly distributed in rodent brain similar to the distribution of the hydrophilic dye Evans blue after CED, and locally delivered ACNU was observed for over 24 h at the delivery site. Subsequently, to investigate the potential of ACNU to induce an immunostimulative microenvironment, Fas and transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1) was assessed in vitro. We found that ACNU significantly inhibited TGF-ß1 secretion and reduced Fas expression. Further, after CED of ACNU in 9L-derived intracranial tumors, the infiltration of CD4/CD8 lymphocytes in tumors was evaluated by immunofluorescence.CED of ACNU in xenografted intracranial tumors induced tumor infiltration of CD4/CD8 lymphocytes. ACNU has a robust distribution in rodent brain by CED, and delayed clearance of the drug was observed at the local infusion site. Further, local delivery of ACNU affects the tumor microenvironment and induces immune cell migration in tumor. These characteristics make ACNU a promising agent for CED.

Atomic-scale electrocatalysts greatly improve the performance and efficiency of water splitting but require special adjustments of the supporting structures for anchoring and dispersing metal single atoms. Here, the structural evolution of atomic-scale electrocatalysts for water splitting is reviewed based on different synthetic methods and structural properties that create different environments for electrocatalytic activity. The rate-determining step or intermediate state for hydrogen or oxygen evolution reactions is energetically stabilized by the coordination environment to the single-atom active site from the supporting material. In large-scale practical use, maximizing the loading amount of metal single atoms increases the efficiency of the electrocatalyst and reduces the economic cost. Dual-atom electrocatalysts with two different single-atom active sites react with an increased number of water molecules and reduce the adsorption energy of water derived from the difference in electronegativity between the two metal atoms. In particular, single-atom dimers induce asymmetric active sites that promote the degradation of H2 O to H2 or O2 evolution. Consequently, the structural properties of atomic-scale electrocatalysts clarify the atomic interrelation between the catalytic active sites and the supporting material to achieve maximum efficiency.
RESUMEN
Fertilization can be optimized and managed during the flue-cured tobacco growing period by studying the response of soil and microbial biomass stoichiometric characteristics to fertilization. In this study, we investigated the effect of compound fertilizers combined with microbial fertilizer treatments on the stoichiometric characteristics of the rhizosphere soil and the limitations of microbial resources during the flue-cured tobacco growing period. The results indicated that soil and microbial C:N:P varied greatly with the growing period. The effect of sampling time was usually greater than that of fertilization treatment, and microbial C:N:P did not vary with the soil resource stoichiometric ratio. The microbial metabolism of the tobacco-growing soil was limited by phosphorus after extending the growing period, and phosphorus limitation gradually increased from the root extension to the maturation periods but decreased at harvest. The rhizosphere soil microbial nitrogen and phosphorus limitations were mainly affected by soil water content, soil pH, microbial biomass carbon, and the ratio of microbial biomass carbon to microbial biomass phosphorus. Applying microbial fertilizer reduced phosphorus limitation. Therefore, applying microbial fertilizer regulated the limitation of microbial resources by affecting the soil and microbial biomass C:N:P in flue-cured tobacco rhizosphere soils.

BACKGROUND: The optimal timing of endoscopy in liver cirrhosis with acute variceal bleeding (AVB) remains controversial in current guidelines and studies. METHODS: Consecutive patients with liver cirrhosis and AVB were screened. The timing of endoscopy was calculated from the last presentation of AVB or the admission to endoscopy. Early endoscopy was defined as the interval < 12 h, < 24 h, or < 48 h. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed. Five-day failure to control bleeding and in-hospital mortality were evaluated. RESULTS: Overall, 534 patients were included. When the timing of endoscopy was calculated from the last presentation of AVB, PSM analysis demonstrated that the rate of 5-day failure to control bleeding was significantly higher in early endoscopy group defined as < 48 h (9.7% versus 2.4%, P = 0.009), but not < 12 h (8.7% versus 6.5%, P = 1.000) or < 24 h (13.4% versus 6.2%, P = 0.091), and that the in-hospital mortality was not significantly different between early and delayed endoscopy groups (< 12 h: 6.5% versus 4.3%, P = 1.000; <24 h: 4.1% versus 3.1%, P = 1.000; <48 h: 3.0% versus 2.4%, P = 1.000). When the timing of endoscopy was calculated from the admission, PSM analyses did not demonstrate any significant difference in the rate of 5-day failure to control bleeding (< 12 h: 4.8% versus 12.7%, P = 0.205; <24 h: 5.2% versus 7.7%, P = 0.355; <48 h: 4.5% versus 6.0%, P = 0.501) or in-hospital mortality (< 12 h: 4.8% versus 4.8%, P = 1.000; <24 h: 3.9% versus 2.6%, P = 0.750; <48 h: 2.0% versus 2.5%, P = 1.000) between early and delayed endoscopy groups. CONCLUSION: Our study could not support any significant association of timing of endoscopy with cirrhotic patients with AVB.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: difficulty of cecal intubation should be a main indicator for the need of sedated colonoscopy and skilled endoscopists. The present study aimed to explore the factors associated with easy and difficult cecal intubation in unsedated colonoscopy. METHODS: all consecutive patients who underwent unsedated colonoscopy at our department by the same endoscopist from December 3, 2020 to August 30, 2022 were retrospectively collected. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), reasons for colonoscopy, position change, Boston Bowel Preparation Scale score, cecal intubation time (CIT) and major colonoscopic findings were analyzed. CIT < 5 min, CIT 5-10 min and CIT > 10 min or failed cecal intubation were defined as easy, moderate and difficult cecal intubation, respectively. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent factors associated with easy and difficult cecal intubation. RESULTS: overall, 1,281 patients were included. The proportions of easy and difficult cecal intubation were 29.2 % (374/1,281) and 27.2 % (349/1,281), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that age ≤ 50 years, male, BMI > 23.0 kg/m2 and the absence of position change were independently associated with easy cecal intubation, and that age > 50 years, female, BMI ≤ 23.0 kg/m2, position change, and insufficient bowel preparation were independently associated with difficult cecal intubation. CONCLUSIONS: some convenient factors independently associated with easy and difficult cecal intubation have been identified, which will be potentially helpful to determine whether a colonoscopy should be sedated and a skilled endoscopist should be selected. The current findings should be further validated in large-scale prospective studies.

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic variceal treatment (EVT) is recommended as the mainstay choice for the management of high-risk gastroesophageal varices and acute variceal bleeding in liver cirrhosis. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used for various gastric acid-related diseases. However, the effects of PPIs on the development of post-EVT complications, especially gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), remain controversial. AIM: To evaluate the effects of postoperative use of PPIs on post-EVT complications in patients with liver cirrhosis during hospitalization. METHODS: Patients with a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis who were admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology of the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, treated by an attending physician between January 2016 and June 2020 and underwent EVT during their hospitalization were included. Logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the effects of postoperative use of PPIs on the development of post-EVT complications during hospitalization. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 143 patients were included. The incidence of post-EVT GIB and other post-EVT complications was 4.90% and 46.85%, respectively. In the overall analyses, postoperative use of PPIs did not significantly reduce the risk of post-EVT GIB (OR = 0.525, 95%CI = 0.113-2.438, P = 0.411) or other post-EVT complications (OR = 0.804, 95%CI = 0.413-1.565, P = 0.522). In the subgroup analyses according to the enrollment period, type and route of PPIs after the index EVT, use of PPIs before the index EVT, use of vasoactive drugs after the index EVT, indication of EVT (prophylactic and therapeutic), and presence of portal venous system thrombosis, ascites, and hepatocellular carcinoma, the effects of postoperative use of PPIs on the risk of post-EVT GIB or other post-EVT complications remain not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Routine use of PPIs after EVT should not be recommended in patients with liver cirrhosis for the prevention of post-EVT complications during hospitalization.
RESUMEN
Novel and portable cotton swab-based fluorometry was constructed for the first time for 3-aminosalicylic acid (3-ASA) and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) detection. It was carried out by fluorescence enhancement on silver (Ag)-doped black phosphorus quantum dots (Ag@BPQD). Ag@BPQD were prepared from AgNO3 and bulk black phosphorus in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution by solvothermal decomposition after mechanical exfoliation. Ag@BPQD show blue fluorescence with a quantum yield (QY) of 2.43%. In the presence of Ag@BPQD, 3-ASA exhibited bright blue fluorescence (λex = 328 nm, λem = 448 nm). The fluorescence of 5-ASA was also enhanced significantly and exhibited bright green emission (λex = 328 nm, λem = 484 nm). The linear range of 3-ASA is 0-90 µM with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.10 µM, relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤ 2.04%, and a recovery range of 98.0-104.3%. The linear range of 5-ASA is 0-120 µM with a LOD of 0.12 µM, RSD ≤ 1.34%, and a recovery range of 98.0-101.3%. When 3-ASA and 5-ASA were mixed in different ratios, the fluorescence showed different colors. The possible mechanism of the interaction between 3-ASA (or 5-ASA) and Ag@BPQD may be ascribed to the generation of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer. To realize convenient detection of 3-ASA and 5-ASA, a Ag@BPQD portable sensing method using cotton swabs were built. The proposed approach provides the detection of 3-ASA and 5-ASA in environmental and biological samples with high efficiency, accuracy and portability.
RESUMEN
This article addresses the event-triggered coordinated control problem for multiple Euler-Lagrange systems subject to parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. Based on the event-triggered technique, a distributed coordinated control scheme is first proposed, where the neural network-based estimation method is incorporated to compensate for parameter uncertainties. Then, an input-based continuous event-triggered (CET) mechanism is developed to schedule the triggering instants, which ensures that the control command is activated only when some specific events occur. After that, by analyzing the possible finite-time escape behavior of the triggering function, the real-time data sampling and event monitoring requirement in the CET strategy is tactfully ruled out, and the CET policy is further transformed into a periodic event-triggered (PET) one. In doing so, each agent only needs to monitor the triggering function at the preset periodic sampling instants, and accordingly, frequent control updating is further relieved. Besides, a parameter selection criterion is provided to specify the relationship between the control performance and the sampling period. Finally, a numerical example of attitude synchronization for multiple satellites is performed to show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed coordinated control scheme.
