RESUMO

Lithium-ion battery based on LiCrTiO4 (LCTO) is considered to be a promising anode material, as they provide higher safety and durability beyond than that of graphite electrode. However, the applications of this transformative technology demand improved inherent electrical conductivity of LCTO as well as a simple and rapid synthetic route. Here, LCTO with oxygen vacancies (OVs) is fabricated using high-pressure synthesis technology in only 40 min. The optimal synthesis pressure is 0.8 GPa (LCTO-0.8). The reversible capacity of LCTO-0.8 at 1C is 131 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles and the capacity retention is nearly 97%, and the reversible capacity of LCTO synthesized at atmospheric pressure (LCTO-P) is 85 mA h g-1 under the same circumstances. Even at 5C, the reversible capacity is 110 mA h g-1 , which is 77% higher than LCTO-P. Furthermore, it is confirmed by theoretical calculations that the introduction of OVs has the occupation of electronic states at the Fermi level, which greatly enhances the intrinsic conductivity of LCTO. Specifically, the electronic conductivity has increased by two orders of magnitude compared with LCTO-P. Therefore, high-pressure synthesis technology endows LCTO with superior characteristics, providing a new avenue for industrialization.

RESUMO

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating and disabling neuropsychiatric disorder, whose neurobiological basis remains unclear. Although traditional static resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (rfMRI) studies have found aberrant functional connectivity (FC) in OCD, alterations in whole-brain FC and topological properties in the context of brain dynamics remain relatively unexplored. The rfMRI data of 29 patients with OCD and 40 healthy controls were analyzed using group independent component analysis to obtain independent components (ICs) and a sliding-window approach to generate dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) matrices. dFC patterns were clustered into three reoccurring states, and state transition metrics were obtained. Then, graph-theory methods were applied to dFC matrices to calculate the variability of network topological organization. The occurrence of a state (State 1) with the highest modularity index and lowest mean FC between networks was increased significantly in OCD, and the fractional time in brain State 1 was positively correlated with anxiety level in patients. State 1 was characterized by having positive connections within default mode (DMN) and salience networks (SAN), and negative coupling between the two networks. Additionally, ICs belonging to DMN and SAN showed lower temporal variability of nodal degree centrality and efficiency in patients, which was related to longer illness duration and higher current obsession ratings. Our results provide evidence of clinically relevant aberrant dynamic brain activity in OCD. Increased functional segregation among networks and impaired functional flexibility in connections among brain regions in DMN and SAN may play important roles in the neuropathology of OCD.

RESUMO

Background: The amygdala has been implicated in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a common, disabling illness. However, the regional distribution of anatomic alterations in this structure and their association with the symptoms of OCD remains to be established. Methods: We collected high-resolution 3D T1-weighted images from 81 untreated patients with OCD and no lifetime history of comorbid psychotic, affective or anxiety disorders, and from 95 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. We extracted the volume of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) and the basolateral complex of the amygdala (BLA) and compared them across groups using FreeSurfer 6.0. In exploratory analyses, we evaluated other subnuclei, including the cortical medial nuclei, the anterior amygdaloid area, and the corticoamygdaloid transition area. Results: Patients with OCD had reduced amygdala volume bilaterally compared with healthy controls (left, p = 0.034; right, p = 0.002). Volume reductions were greater in the CeA (left: -11.9%, p = 0.002; right: -13.3%, p < 0.001) than in the BLA (left lateral nucleus: -3.3%, p = 0.029; right lateral nucleus: -3.9%, p = 0.018; right basal nucleus: -4.1%, p = 0.017; left accessory basal nucleus: -6.5%, p = 0.001; right accessory basal nucleus: -9.3%, p < 0.001). Volume reductions in the CeA were associated with illness duration. Exploratory analysis revealed smaller medial (left: -15.4%, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.101) and cortical (left: -9.1%, p = 0.001, η2 = 0.058; right: -15.4%, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.175) nuclei in patients with OCD compared with healthy controls. Limitations: Although the strict exclusion criteria used in the study helped us to identify OCD-specific alterations, they may have limited generalizability to the broader OCD population. Conclusion: Our results provide a comprehensive anatomic profile of alterations in the amygdala subnuclei in untreated patients with OCD and highlight a distinctive pattern of volume reductions across subnuclei in OCD. Based on the functional properties of the amygdala subnuclei established from preclinical research, CeA impairment may contribute to behavioural inflexibility, and BLA disruption may be responsible for altered fear conditioning and the affective components of OCD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this longitudinal study was to identify risk factors for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in inpatients injured in the Ludian earthquake and examine the relationship between PTSD symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following the earthquake. METHODS: Three assessments were performed during an 18-month follow-up period. In total, one-hundred forty-seven inpatients of one-hundred seventy-four inpatients (85% of the initial sample) underwent all the assessments. Injured inpatients admitted to the No. 1 People's Hospital of Zhaotong City after a severe earthquake (6.5 on the Richter scale) were enrolled in the study and assessed using the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version, Clinician-Administered Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Scale, and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 Scale. RESULTS: At the first, third and eighteenth months after the earthquake, the prevalence rates for PTSD were 23, 14, and 7%, respectively. In a regression model, bereavement, history of major diseases, and severe injury in the earthquake were associated with severe PTSD symptoms. HRQoL was negatively correlated with PTSD symptoms. Compared to that of Chinese norms, participants' HRQoL was significantly lower in all eight HRQoL domains of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 Scale. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that a substantial proportion of inpatients injured in the earthquake experienced severe PTSD symptoms and poor HRQoL. Therefore, early preventive programs and interventions should be implemented following disasters, to reduce PTSD and improve HRQoL in injured individuals.

RESUMO

In this study, we sought to identify alterations of hippocampal shape and subfield volumes in a relatively large sample of medication-free obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients without comorbid depression. 3D T1-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans were collected from 81 medication-free OCD patients and 95 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC). Total hippocampal volume and volume of eight bilateral subfields were measured using FreeSurfer software. Subregional shape deformity was examined via FSL software. Volumetric and shape differences between groups and correlations with OCD symptoms were examined. The volume of right hippocampus was significantly reduced in OCD patients (p = .001, η2 = 0.065). Follow-up analysis of right hemisphere subfields showed reduced volume in right subiculum (p < .001, η2 = 0.081), presubiculum (p < .001, η2 = 0.125), CA2/3 (p = .001, η2 = 0.06), and hippocampal tail (p < 0.001, η2 = 0.105), while the volume of right fimbria was increased (p = .001, η2 = 0.058). Shape analysis revealed a bilateral outward bending in the hippocampal body related to a lateral displacement of hippocampus from the body to the tail. Symptom severity was correlated with volumes of presubiculum (with compulsions, r = -0.25, p = .024) and fimbria (with obsessions, r = -0.28, p = .012), and with the lateral shift of middle and posterior hippocampus (with obsessions). Alterations across hippocampal subfields and overall shape may contribute to the distinctive cognitive and affective abnormalities associated with OCD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previous resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) studies have revealed intrinsic regional activity alterations in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but those results were based on group analyses, which limits their applicability to clinical diagnosis and treatment at the level of the individual. METHODS: We examined fractional amplitude low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) and applied support vector machine (SVM) to discriminate OCD patients from healthy controls on the basis of rs-fMRI data. Values of fALFF, calculated from 68 drug-naive OCD patients and 68 demographically matched healthy controls, served as input features for the classification procedure. RESULTS: The classifier achieved 72% accuracy (p ≤ 0.001). This discrimination was based on regions that included the left superior temporal gyrus, the right middle temporal gyrus, the left supramarginal gyrus and the superior parietal lobule. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that OCD-related abnormalities in temporal and parietal lobe activation have predictive power for group membership; furthermore, the findings suggest that machine learning techniques can be used to aid in the identification of individuals with OCD in clinical diagnosis.

RESUMO

The ethanol extract of the leaves and branches of Gelsemium elegans afforded three new gelsedine-type indole alkaloids, 11-methoxy-14,15-dihydroxyhumantenmine (1), 11-methoxy-14,15-dihydroxy-19-oxogelsenicine (2), and 11-methoxy-14-hydroxygelsedilam (3), along with one known alkaloid 11-methoxy-14-hydroxyhumantenmine (4). The structures of isolated compounds were established based on 1D and 2D (1H-1H COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy, in addition to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The isolated alkaloids were tested in vitro for cytotoxic potential against four laryngeal tumor cell lines including Hep-2, LSC-1, TR-LCC-1, and FD-LSC-1. As a result, compounds 1 and 4 exhibited some cytotoxic activities against all tested tumor cell lines with IC50 values of 10.9-12.1 µM and 9.2-10.8 µM, respectively.

RESUMO

Highly luminescent CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are homogeneously synthesized by mixing toluene solutions of PbBr2 and cesium oleate at room temperature in open air. We found that PbBr2 can be easily dissolved in nonpolar toluene in the presence of tetraoctylammonium bromide, which allows us to homogeneously prepare CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots and prevents the use of harmful polar organic solvents, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Additionally, this method can be extended to synthesize highly luminescent CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite quantum dots. An electroluminescence device with a maximal luminance of 110 cd/m2 has been fabricated by using high-quality CsPbBr3 PNCs as the emitting layer.

RESUMO

A group of novel quinoxalinone derivatives (4a-h) were prepared and investigated for their inhibitory activity against ALR2 and antioxidant activity. Most of them were found to be potent aldose reductase inhibitors with IC50 values ranging from 0.019 to 0.982 µM. The most active compound 2-(3-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-6-fluoro-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)acetic acid (4c) also had an excellent selectivity. In addition, a number of compounds showed strong antioxidant activity and the phenolic 3,5-dihydroxyl compound 4f with 7-chloro in the quinoxalinone core was most active in scavenging the DPPH radical and suppressing lipid peroxidation.

RESUMO

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have revealed group differences in white matter between patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and healthy controls. However, the results of these studies were based on average differences between the two groups, and therefore had limited clinical applicability. The objective of this study was to investigate whether fractional anisotropy (FA) of white matter can be used to discriminate between patients with OCD and healthy controls at the level of the individual. DTI data were acquired from 28 OCD patients and 28 demographically matched healthy controls, scanned using a 3T MRI system. Differences in FA values of white matter between OCD and healthy controls were examined using a multivariate pattern classification technique known as support vector machine (SVM). SVM applied to FA images correctly identified OCD patients with a sensitivity of 86% and a specificity of 82% resulting in a statistically significant accuracy of 84% (P ≤ 0.001). This discrimination was based on a distributed network including bilateral prefrontal and temporal regions, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, superior fronto-parietal fasciculus, splenium of corpus callosum and left middle cingulum bundle. The present study demonstrates subtle and spatially distributed white matter abnormalities in individuals with OCD, and provides preliminary support for the suggestion that that these could be used to aid the identification of individuals with OCD in clinical practice.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies have demonstrated that grey matter abnormalities are involved in the pathophysiology of late-life depression (LLD), but the findings are inconsistent and have not been quantitatively reviewed. The aim of the present study was to conduct a meta-analysis that integrated the reported VBM studies, to determine consistent grey matter alterations in individuals with LLD. METHODS: A systematic search was conducted to identify VBM studies that compared patients with LLD and healthy controls. We performed a meta-analysis using the effect size signed differential mapping method to quantitatively estimate regional grey matter abnormalities in patients with LLD. RESULTS: We included 9 studies with 11 data sets comprising 292 patients with LLD and 278 healthy controls in our meta-analysis. The pooled and subgroup meta-analyses showed robust grey matter reductions in the right lentiform nucleus extending into the parahippocampus, the hippocampus and the amygdala, the bilateral medial frontal gyrus and the right subcallosal gyrus as well as a grey matter increase in the right lingual gyrus. Meta-regression analyses showed that mean age and the percentage of female patients with LLD were not significantly related to grey matter changes. LIMITATIONS: The analysis techniques, patient characteristics and clinical variables of the studies included were heterogeneous, and most participants were medicated. CONCLUSION: The present meta-analysis is, to our knowledge, the first to overcome previous inconsistencies in the VBM studies of LLD and provide robust evidence for grey matter alterations within fronto-striatal-limbic networks, thereby implicating them in the pathophysiology of LLD. The mean age and the percentage of female patients with LLD did not appear to have a measurable impact on grey matter changes, although we cannot rule out the contributory effects of medication.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and short-term prognosis of using flexible cystoscopy with percutaneous nephrolithotomy to treat complex renal stones. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with complex kidney stones treated at Gansu Provincial Hospital of TCM and Lanzhou City No. 2 People's Hospital from July 2019 to July 2022. The study divided the patients into a control group (n=95), who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy alone, and an observation group (n=109), who received additional holmium laser lithotripsy and cystoscopy. We compared stone clearance rates at 5 days and 1 month post-surgery, analyzed patient prognosis over a year based on stone recurrence, and assessed risk factors through logistic regression. Perioperative data, changes in renal function indiex 3 days post-surgery, and complication rates were also evaluated. RESULTS: The observation group exhibited a significantly higher stone clearance rate at 5 days post-surgery (P=0.002) compared to the control group, although no significant difference was observed at 1 month (P=0.823). The operative time was significantly shorter (P<0.001), and postoperative levels of BUA, Cys-c, and ß2-BMG were lower (P<0.05) in the observation group. Additionally, treatment regimen, BMI, and STONE score were influencing factors for stone recurrence within 1 year. CONCLUSION: Flexible cystoscopy combined with percutaneous nephrolithotomy offers superior short-term outcomes in the treatment of complex renal stones, including enhanced stone clearance, reduced operative time, and minimized renal function impairment shortly after surgery. Moreover, treatment approach, BMI, and STONE score play pivotal roles in predicting stone recurrence.

RESUMO

Morphology of the absorber plays a decisive role in photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of kersterite solar cells. Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) grain prepared from dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-based solution easily grows into large grains, which can lead to the formation of some holes at the back of the absorber. These holes cause the recombination of photocarriers and greatly weaken the performance of CZTSSe devices. Here, trace amounts of thioglycolic acid (TGA) are introduced to the DMSO-based solution, and a combination of TGA and metal is formed in the absorber, leading to the formation of fine grains in the CZTSSe absorber. Next, post-annealing (PA) in a N2 atmosphere is performed to promote Na diffusion, helping the transition from a fine-grain layer to a low-resistivity carbon layer at the interface between CZTSSe and Mo and avoiding the drawbacks of the DMSO-based system. Finally, the champion PCE of the CZTSSe device can be improved to 10.05% from 8.06%. The conclusions demonstrate that the construction of a carbon layer can boost the performance of CZTSSe devices.

RESUMO

Fly ash was used as raw material to prepare zeolites through silicate gels, assisted by the hydrothermal method. The silicate gels could be effectively formed in a few minutes in a molten alkali environment. The zeolites could be prepared by using these silicate gels through the hydrothermal method, which realizes the transformation from useless materials to highly valuable materials. The obtained zeolites were applied to the removal of ammonium in water, achieving the highvalue utilization of fly ash. The synthesized zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), thermogravimetric (TG), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The study on the adsorption and removal of ammonium in water shows that the adsorption of ammonium is more in line with pseudo first-order kinetics, and the adsorption mainly occurs in the first 20 min. The adsorption can reach equilibrium in 30 min, and the maximum adsorption capacity can reach 49.1 mg/g. The adsorption capacity of ammonium has the best performance at pH = 5. Furthermore, within a certain range, an increase in temperature is beneficial for the removal of ammonium.

RESUMO

As a high efficiency method for chloride removal, Friedel's salt precipitation (FSP) method has attracted much attention in zero liquid discharge (ZLD) of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater. This review provides comprehensive knowledge of FSP method for chloride removal through analysis of the evolution, reaction mechanisms and influential factors, and describes the recent research progress. FSP method is a cost-efficient technology to remove chloride from saline wastewater by adding lime and aluminate. Chloride ions react with the precipitants by adsorption or/and ion exchange to form Friedel's salt, which is affected by the reaction conditions including reaction time, temperature, interferential ions, etc. The effluent of this process can be reused as the makeup water of desulfurization tower, and the dechloridation precipitates can be reclaimed as adsorption materials and sludge conditioners. That can not only offset a fraction of the treatment cost, but also avoid secondary pollution, so ZLD of FGD wastewater can be achieved. This paper summarizes the deficiencies and potential improvement measures of FSP method. We believe this technology is a promising way to achieve ZLD of FGD wastewater and other wastewater containing chloride, and expect FSP method would become more mature and be widely applied in hypersaline wastewater treatment in the foreseeable future.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although the diagnosis of melancholia has had a long history, the validity of the current DSM-IV definition remains contentious. We report here the first detailed comparison of melancholic and nonmelancholic major depression (MD) in a Chinese population examining in particular whether these two forms of MD differ quantitatively or qualitatively. METHODS: DSM-IV criteria for melancholia were applied to 1,970 Han Chinese women with recurrent MD recruited from 53 provincial mental health centers and psychiatric departments of general medical hospitals in 41 cities. Statistical analyses, utilizing Student's t-tests and Pearson's χ(2) , were calculated using SPSS 13.0. RESULTS: Melancholic patients with MD were distinguished from nonmelancholic by being older, having a later age at onset, more episodes of illness and meeting more A criteria. They also had higher levels of neuroticism and rates of lifetime generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social and agoraphobia. They had significantly lower rates of childhood sexual abuse but did not differ on other stressful life events or rates of MD in their families. DISCUSSION: Consistent with most prior findings in European and US populations, we find that melancholia is a more clinically severe syndrome than nonmelancholic depression with higher rates of comorbidity. The evidence that it is a more "biological" or qualitatively distinct syndrome, however, is mixed.

RESUMO

AIM: We explore the prevalence and risk factors of anxiety symptoms among child survivors after an earthquake. METHODS: This study was conducted among children aged 7-15 years in Qingchuan County 1 year after the Wenchuan earthquake. Trauma experiences and anxiety symptoms were assessed with a modified earthquake exposure scale and the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale. A total of 21,652 children participated in the survey. RESULTS: The prevalence rate of anxiety symptoms was 18.9% among all participants. In a multivariate analysis, anxiety symptoms were significantly associated with gender, age, cultural differences and earthquake exposure. Anxiety symptoms were common among children in the Wenchuan earthquake area 1 year after the earthquake. Gender, age, culture and traumatic experiences from the earthquake may significantly influence anxiety symptoms among children. DISCUSSION: This study provides baseline data about psychological outcomes among child survivors following an earthquake.

RESUMO

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(12)ClF(3)N(2)O(4)S, the thia-diazine ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring of the benzothia-diazine ring system and trifluoro-phenyl group is 15.02 (7)°. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are linked into dimers via pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. The dimers are further connected into a three-dimensional network by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

RESUMO

In the title compound, C(17)H(12)F(3)NO(4)S, the heterocyclic thia-zine ring adopts a half-chair conformation with the S and the N atoms displaced by -0.608 (3) and 0.105 (3) Å, respectively, from the mean plane formed by the remaining ring atoms. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 36.63 (8)° and the acetic acid group is inclined at right angles [89.78 (8) °] to the mean plane formed by the C atoms of the thia-zine ring. The crystal structure features O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To use diffusion-tensor (DT) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to explore the integrity and connectivity of brain white matter in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and to correlate DT parameters with clinical measures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was approved by the local ethical committee, and written informed consent was obtained from all participants. DT imaging was performed by using a 3.0-T MR imager in 23 patients with OCD and 23 healthy control subjects matched for age, sex, education level, and handedness. By using voxel-based analysis, fractional anisotropy (FA) and axial and radial diffusivities were compared between patients and control subjects with a two-sample t test and were tested for correlation with symptom severity, as measured by using the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale and obsessive-compulsive subscale scores, and with illness duration, as measured by using simple regression in statistical parametric mapping program. RESULTS: Compared with control subjects, OCD patients demonstrated significantly increased FA in the genu and body of corpus callosum and white matter of right superior frontal gyrus and corpus callosum; no areas of significantly decreased FA were found. For areas of increased FA, axial diffusivity was higher than that in control subjects, while radial diffusivity was not significantly different. The FA values in the white matter of left middle temporal gyrus in OCD patients correlated positively with clinical measures (r = 0.542, P < .001). CONCLUSION: OCD is associated with axonal microstructural abnormalities within the white matter, which may indicate impaired axonal integrity and increased connectivity. The positive correlation between DT abnormalities and symptom severity suggests that DT imaging may be of clinical value in measuring and following disability in OCD patients.
