RESUMO
A suitable conductive ink for office inkjet printers is important for the convenient design of flexible electrodes for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG). Ag nanowires (Ag NWs) easily printed with an average short length of 1.65 µm were synthesized by using soluble NaCl as a growth regulator and adjusting the amount of chloride ion. The water-based Ag NWs ink with a low solid content of 1% but with low resistivity was produced. The printed flexible Ag NWs-based electrodes/circuits showed excellent conductivity with RS/R0 values kept at 1.03 after bending 50,000 times on PI substrate and an excellent anticlimate property in acidic conditions for 180 h on polyester woven fabric. The sheet resistance was reduced to 4.98 Ω/sqr heated at 30-50 °C for 3 min by a blower due to the formed excellent conductive network when compared to Ag NPs-based electrodes. Finally, the integration of printed Ag NWs electrode and circuits was applied to the TENG, which can be used to predict a robot's out-of-balance direction by the change of the TENG signal. In all, a suitable conductive ink with a short length of Ag NWs was fabricated, and flexible electrodes/circuits can be conveniently and easily printed by office inkjet printers.
RESUMO
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers of the digestive tract, with the fifth-highest incidence and third highest mortality rate in the world. Methods: In this study, the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database was used to analyze the correlation between the expression of the glutathione peroxidase (GPX) family and the clinical prognosis of gastric cancer (GC). The prognostic value of increased GPX family mRNA expression in GC patients in different clinical stages, with different differentiation degrees, in different genders and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) status, and treated with different therapeutic regimens was also studied. Results: The results showed that with the increase of GPX1 and GPX2 mRNA low expression levels, the overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer patients was longer. However, when the high expression levels of GPX3, GPX5 and GPX6 mRNA increased, gastric cancer patients presented good OS, while the increase of GPX4 mRNA expression level had no significant correlation with OS in gastric cancer patients. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to provide a reliable basis for the clinical treatment of GC and lay a foundation for the development of a novel GC treatment approach.
