Article Abstract

The practical application of Li-S batteries demands low cell balance (Li /S ), which involves uniform Li growth, restrained shuttle effect, and fast redox reaction kinetics of S species simultaneously. Herein, with the aid of W C nanocrystals, a freestanding 3D current collector is applied as both Li and S hosts owing to its lithiophilic and sulfilic property. On the one hand, the highly conductive W C can reduce Li nucleation overpotentials, thus guiding uniform Li nucleation and deposition to suppress Li dendrite growth. On the other hand, the polar W C with catalytic effect can enhance the chemisorption affinity to lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and guarantee fast redox kinetics to restrain S species in cathode region and promote the utilization of S. Surprisingly, a full Li-S battery with ultralow cell balance of 1.5:1 and high sulfur loading of 6.06 mg cm shows obvious redox plateaus of S and maintains high reversible specific capacity of 1020 mAh g (6.2 mAh cm ) after 200 cycles. This work may shed new sights on the facile design of full Li-S battery with low excessive Li supply.

Evaluating the Long-term Effects of Microfocused Ultrasound on Facial Tightening Using Quantitative Instruments: Efficacy and Safety.

Aesthetic Plast Surg

September 2025

Department of Plastic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University, No. 613 West, Huangpu Avenue, Guangzhou, 510630, Guangdong Province, China.

Background: Microfocused ultrasound (MFU) is a non-invasive technique used for facial rejuvenation, yet there is limited quantitative data on its long-term effects. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of MFU for facial rejuvenation. We utilized standardized photography along with advanced skin assessment technologies to analyze the impact of MFU on facial morphology, skin function, and patient satisfaction over a 12-month period.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles as a promising tool for efficient separation of trace DNA via phosphate-mediated desorption.

Mikrochim Acta

September 2025

Department of Public Health Laboratory Sciences, College of Public Health, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, 28 Changsheng West Road, Hengyang, 421001, Hunan, China.

We systematically evaluated the DNA adsorption and desorption efficiencies of several nanoparticles. Among them, titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) NPs, and zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs exhibited strong DNA-binding capacities under mild conditions. However, phosphate-mediated DNA displacement efficiencies varied considerably, with only TiO₂ NPs showing consistently superior performance.

The discovery of new weak supramolecular interactions and supramolecular synthons is essential for directing self-assembly processes with enhanced precision, diversity, and functionality in complex molecular architectures. Here, we report the controlled self-assembly of diverse supramolecular architectures by a new directional bonding approach through the integration of radical-based dynamic covalent chemistry and supramolecular synthons. A novel macrocyclic synthon, , with a linear direction is constructed via radical-based dynamic covalent bonds from the phenothiazine building block substituted with two dicyanomethyl radicals.

Introduction: Mental health literacy is a multifaceted construct that consists of helping individuals recognize the early warning signs of mental health conditions, understanding the concept of stigma and misconceptions associated with mental illness, encouraging appropriate help-seeking behaviors, and facilitating access to mental health services. However, mental health literacy remains a largely unexplored topic in artists' health literature. This scoping review examines the conceptualization, operationalization, and measurement of mental health literacy in performing and creative artists.

Coexistence of bullous pemphigoid, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and alopecia areata: a case report of multifactorial autoimmunity in a surgical context.

Background: Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) is caused by a predominantly Th2-mediated attack on the basement membrane by the production of anti-BP180 and anti-BP230 antibodies. Malignant tumors can exacerbate immune disorders through a variety of potential pathways, including pro-inflammatory responses in the tumor microenvironment, cross-immune responses induced by tumor-associated antigens, and the lifting of immunosuppressive states and activation of underlying autoimmune responses after surgery. Alopecia Areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease caused by T-lymphocyte-mediated destruction of the immune privilege of the hair follicle, specifically involving the immune axes of Th1, Th2 and Th17.
