RESUMO
Supercapacitor is highly demanded in emerging portable electronics, however, which faces frequent charging and inevitable rapid self-discharging of huge inconvenient. Here, we present a flexible moisture-powered supercapacitor (mp-SC) that capable of spontaneously moisture-enabled self-charging and persistently voltage stabilizing. Based on the synergy effect of moisture-induced ions diffusion of inner polyelectrolyte-based moist-electric generator and charges storage ability of inner graphene electrochemical capacitor, this mp-SC demonstrates the self-charged high areal capacitance of 138.3 mF cm-2 and ~96.6% voltage maintenance for 120 h. In addition, a large-scale flexible device of 72 mp-SC units connected in series achieves a self-charged 60 V voltage in air, efficiently powering various commercial electronics in practical applications. This work will provide insight into the design self-powered and ultra-long term stable supercapacitors and other energy storage devices.
RESUMO
Background: The effectiveness and safety of pyrotinib have been substantiated in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced breast cancer (BC). However, the role of pyrotinib as a single HER2 blockade in neoadjuvant setting among BC patients has not been studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of pyrotinib plus taxanes as a novel neoadjuvant regimen in patients with HER2-positive early or locally advanced BC. Methods: In this single-arm exploratory phase II trial, patients with treatment-naïve HER2-positive BC (stage IIA-IIIC) received pyrotinib 400 mg once daily and taxanes [docetaxel 75 mg/m2 or nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel 260 mg/m2 every 3 weeks, or paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 weekly] for a total of four 21-day cycles before surgery. Efficacy assessment was based on pathological and clinical measurements. The primary endpoint of this study was the total pathological complete response (tpCR) rate. The secondary endpoints included breast pCR (bpCR) rate, investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) and adverse events (AEs) profiles. Results: From 1 September 2021 to 30 December 2022, a total of 31 patients were enrolled. One patient was withdrawn due to unbearable skin rash after the second cycle of neoadjuvant therapy. The majority of the intention-to-treat (ITT) population was premenopausal (54.8%), had large tumors (90.3%) and metastatic nodes (58.1%) at diagnosis and hormone-receptor positive tumors (64.5%). Most participants used nab-paclitaxel (74.2%) and received mastectomy (67.7%) after neoadjuvant treatment. The tpCR and bpCR rates were 48.4% [95% confidence interval (CI): 30.8-66%] and 51.6% (95% CI: 34-69.2%), respectively. Grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs were observed in 16.1% (5/31) of the ITT population, including diarrhea (n=2, 6.5%), hand and foot numbness (n=1, 3.2%), loss of appetite (n=1, 3.2%), and skin rash (n=1, 3.2%). AE related dose reduction or pyrotinib interruption was not required. Conclusions: In female patients with HER2-positive non-metastatic BC, neoadjuvant pyrotinib monotherapy plus taxanes appears to show promising clinical benefit and controllable AEs [Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100050870)]. The long-term efficacy and safety of this regime warrant further verification.
