Elevated sulfide all-solid-state battery performance enabled by boron and phosphorus doping in nano silicon anodes.

Sulfide all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) using high-capacity silicon (Si) anodes and high‑nickel ternary cathodes offer a promising route to realize high energy density and safety simultaneously. However, the low inherent electronic conductivity of Si constrains its further application in ASSBs. Importing element doping is an available strategy to improve intrinsic electronic conductivity of raw Si anodes.

The therapeutic value of vacuum external fixation in polytrauma patients with multiple ribs fracture.

Background: Multiple displaced rib fractures often result in a poor prognosis. Open reduction and internal fixation has been shown to provide benefits for patients with displaced rib fractures and flail chest. Nevertheless, for patients who are unwilling or unsuitable for surgery, the therapeutic options are limited.

Development and validation of a deep learning model for breast lesion segmentation and characterization in multiparametric MRI.

Importance: The utilization of artificial intelligence for the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions in multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) assists radiologists to improve diagnostic performance.

Objectives: To develop an automated deep learning model for breast lesion segmentation and characterization and to evaluate the characterization performance of AI models and radiologists.

Materials And Methods: For lesion segmentation, 2,823 patients were used for the training, validation, and testing of the VNet-based segmentation models, and the average Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) between the manual segmentation by radiologists and the mask generated by VNet was calculated.

Method Comparison and Bias Estimation of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine (Cr), and Uric Acid (UA) Measurements between Two Analytical Methods.

Background: A comparison of any two methods is of great importance in a clinical laboratory. In this study, our aim is to compare the assay results of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), and uric acid (UA) obtained through two distinct methods and then assess the analytical agreement of the two methods.

Methods: A test method (Vitros5600 system) measuring BUN, Cr, and UA analytes was compared with a reference method (Hitachi7600 system).

glycosides inhibit inflammatory mediators in the rat synovial RSC-364 cell line stimulated with interleukin-1β.

glycosides (TG) are extracted from a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. Using the compound, progress has been made in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the underlying mechanism of its action is poorly understood. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of TG in preventing inflammatory arthritis.

Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Ankylosing Spondylitis by iTRAQ.

This study was designed to identify and quantify the different proteins expression levels in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to explore the pathogenesis of AS. We performed isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) coupled with multiple chromatographic fractionation and tandem mass spectrometry to detect the proteins profiling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from AS patients and healthy controls. Mascot software and the International Protein Index and the Gene Ontology (GO) database were used to conduct the bioinformatics analysis.

Solvothermal synthesis of functional magnetic nanoparticles for biocatalyst.

A facile and simple one-step solvothermal method has been developed to synthesize polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified magnetic nanoparticles. Characterization of morphology, surface charges, crystal structure, and magnetic property confirmed the efficiency of this facile synthesis route. Lipase immobilized on the PEI-modified magnetic nanoparticles was used to synthesize vitamin A palmitate from vitamin A acetate and palmitic acid.

Enhancing trimethylolpropane esters synthesis through lipase immobilized on surface hydrophobic modified support and appropriate substrate feeding methods.

Candida sp. 99-125 lipase immobilized on surface hydrophobic modified support and appropriate substrate feeding methods were used to improve the synthesis of tri-substituted trimethylolpropane (TMP) esters, which can be used as raw materials for biodegradable lubricants. The proposed novel production method is environmentally friendly.

Animations, games, and virtual reality for the Jing-Hang Grand Canal.

Digital heritage, an effective method to preserve and present natural and cultural heritage, is engaging many heritage preservation specialists and computer scientists. In particular, computer graphics researchers have become involved, and digital heritage has employed many CG techniques. For example, Daniel Pletinckx and his colleagues employed VR in a real museum at Ename, Belgium, and Zhigeng Pan and his colleagues applied it to construct a virtual Olympics museum.
