Abstract
Triazine-based conjugated polymers (TCPs) are promising organic catalysts for green H2 production, since their photocatalytic performance can be easily regulated via appropriate molecular design. However, apart from weak absorption of visible light, weak charge separation and transport abilities also considerably restrict the photocatalytic performance of TCPs. Herein, we report two novel TCP photocatalysts with donor-acceptor (D-A) and donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) structures using dibenzo[g,p]chrysene (Dc), thiophene (T), and 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (Tz) as the donor, π-spacer, and acceptor, respectively. Compared to Dc-Tz with a D-A structure, Dc-T-Tz exhibits a broader light absorption edge and more efficient charge separation and transmission due to its D-π-A structure and strong dipole effect. These properties enable Dc-T-Tz to display a prominent H2 production rate of 45.13 mmol h-1 g-1 under ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) light (λ > 300 nm). Therefore, Dc-T-Tz represents state-of-the-art TCP photocatalysts to date.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum battery (RAB) is expected to be a promising energy storage technique for grid-scale energy storage. However, the development of RABs is seriously plagued by the lack of suitable cathode materials. Herein, we report two p-type conjugated polymers of L-PBPz and C-PBPz with the same building blocks of diphenylphenazine but different linkage patterns of linear and crosslinked structures as the cathode materials for Al dual-ion batteries. Compared to the linear polymer skeleton in L-PBPz, the crosslinked structure endows C-PBPz with amorphous nature and low dihedral angles of the polymer chains, which severally contribute to the fast diffusion of AlCl4 - with large size and the electron transfer during the redox reaction of diphenylphenazine. As a result, C-PBPz delivers a much better rate performance than L-PBPz. The crosslinked structure also leads to a stable cyclability with over 80000 cycles for C-PBPz. Benefiting from the fast kinetics, meanwhile, the C-PBPz cathode could realize a high redox activity of 117 mAh g-1 , corresponding to an areal capacity of 2.30 mAh cm-2 , even under a high mass loading of 19.7 mg cm-2 and a low content of 10 wt% conductive agent. These results might boost the development of polymer cathodes for RABs.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the feasibility of the modified gasless trans-subclavian approach endoscopic thyroidectomy for lateral neck dissection (LND) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods: The clinical data of 31 patients with PTC who underwent modified gasless trans-subclavian approach endoscopic LND in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Run Run Shaw Hospital, from January to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 2 males and 29 females, aged (32.6±8.3) years (range: 17 to 55 years). The maximum diameter of the primary thyroid lesion (M(IQR)) was 1.06 (1.16) cm (range: 0.53 to 2.44 cm), and the maximum diameter of the metastatic lymph node was (1.04±0.37) cm (range: 0.44 to 1.88 cm). Operation time, postoperative hospital stay, number of lymph nodes dissected, and postoperative complications were recorded. Outpatient follow-up was conducted until November 30, 2022. Results: All operations were successfully completed with the endoscopy approach without conversion to open surgery. The operation time was 160 (20) minutes (range: 100 to 215 minutes), and the postoperative hospital stay was 4 (2) days (range: 2 to 14 days). The number of lymph nodes obtained by dissection in the central and lateral compartment of the neck was 11 (12) (range: 0 to 37) and 34.7±14.8 (range: 15 to 69), respectively. Temporary hypoparathyroidism occurred in 4 cases and all recovered within 1 month after the operation. One case suffered from recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (continuing followed up to assess whether it is a temporary injury). The complication of LND included 1 case of chylous leakage that was recovered with conservative treatment, 1 case of Horner syndrome returned to normal 3 months after surgery. During follow-up, there was no residual tumor or recurrence. Conclusion: The modified gasless trans-subclavian approach endoscopic LND for PTC is feasible, with a thorough dissection and concealed incision.

Abstract
Conjugated microporous polymer (CMP) photocatalysts with donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) or donor-acceptor (D-A) structures have garnered great attention for solar-driven hydrogen generation because of their inherent charge separation nature and high surface area. Herein, we design a series of D-π-A-A-type CMP photocatalysts to uncover the influence of the content of the dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-S-S-dioxide (BTDO) acceptor on the photocatalytic activity. The results demonstrate that the acceptor content in the D-π-A-A-type CMP photocatalysts affects the electronic structure, the availability of reaction sites, and the separation between light-generated electrons and holes, which mainly determine the photocatalytic performance for H2 release. Benefiting from the synergy of light absorption, hydrophilicity, and active sites, the bare polymer PyT-BTDO-2 with an optimized BTDO content exhibits a high H2 production rate of 230.06 mmol h-1 g-1 under simulated sunlight, manifesting that the strategy of D-π-A-A structural design is efficacious for boosting the photocatalytic performance of CMP photocatalysts.

Abstract
We report here 4,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-silolo[3,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene (SiDT) as an electron donor to construct a donor-acceptor type conjugated polymer (PSiDT-BTDO) photocatalyst with a narrow band gap by employing dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-S,S-dioxide as an electron acceptor. The resulting polymer PSiDT-BTDO could realize a high hydrogen evolution rate of 72.20 mmol h-1 g-1 under ultraviolet-visible light with a Pt co-catalyst, due to the enhanced hydrophilicity as well as the decreased recombination rate of photo-induced holes/electrons and the dihedral angles of the polymer chains. The high photocatalytic activity of PSiDT-BTDO reveals the promising application of the SiDT donor in designing high-performance organic photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
Recently, the development of cathode materials is becoming an important issue for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Compared with inorganic cathodes, the organic cathodes are developing rapidly, ascribing to their distinct merits in light weight, low cost, massive organic resources and high capacity. In this paper, a cost-efficiency naphthaldiimide (NDI) based derivative, 2,7-bis(2-((2-hydroxyethyl) amino) ethyl) benzo[lmn] [3,8] phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H, 7H)-tetraone (NDI-NHOH), was used as organic cathode in LIBs. The NDI-NHOH was synthesized easily via one-step process, and it showed very high thermal stability. Through mixing NDI-NHOH with acetylene black and polyvinylidene fluoride (weight ratio of 6:3:1) as composite cathode in lithium-metal based LIBs, the NDI-NHOH presented versatile electrochemical properties. From cyclic voltammetry (CV) test, it exhibited two reversible peaks for oxidation and reduction in the first cycle, respectively. Notably, the oxidation and reduction peaks were located at 2.54, 3.22 and 2.14, 2.32 V vs. Li+/Li, respectively. By employing NDI-NHOH as cathode, it demonstrated a specific capacity of about 80 mAh g-1 in the range of 1.5-3.5 V, where the batteries retained a capacity retention of 50% over 20 cycles. According to the LIBs study, it suggests that the NDI-NHOH-based derivative shows a potentially promising candidate as efficient organic cathode materials for high-performance metal-ions batteries.

Abstract
Redox-active carbonyl-containing compounds have received extensive attention as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of their excellent attributes, including elemental sustainability, high theoretical capacity, diverse structures, and tunable properties. However, the storage of Na+ in most carbonyl-based cathode materials is plagued by the low capacity, unsatisfying rate performance, and short cycling life. Herein, we develop a series of anthraquinone-based conjugated polymer cathodes consisting of anthraquinone and benzene with different linking patterns. It reveals that the linkage sites on benzene ring could affect the electronic structures of the resulting polymers and thus their charge-storage capabilities. The 1,2,4,5-linkage on benzene leads to a high surface area, a narrow band gap, and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital for the resulting polymer PBAQ-3. As a cathode for SIBs, it delivers a high capacity of around 200 mAh g-1 and excellent rate performance (105 mAh g-1 at 200 C) as well as stable cycling with a capacity retention of 95.8% after 1000 cycles at 0.05 A g-1 and 83.1% after 40000 cycles at 3 A g-1. Our findings highlight the influence of linking patterns of the building blocks on the electrochemical performance of organic electrodes.

Abstract
Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with donor-acceptor (D-A) molecular structure show high photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution due to the efficient light-induced electron/hole separation, which is mostly determined by the nature of electron donor and acceptor units. Therefore, the selection of electron donor and acceptor holds the key point to construct high performance polymer photocatalysts. Herein, two dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-S,S-dioxide (BTDO) containing CMP photocatalysts using tetraphenylethylene (TPE) or dibenzo[g,p]chrysene (DBC) as the electron donor to investigate the influence of the geometry of electron donor on the photocatalytic activity are design and synthesized. Compared with the twisted TPE donor, DBC has a planar molecular structure with extended π-conjugation, which promotes the charges transmission and light-induced electron/hole separation. As a result, the polymer DBC-BTDO produced from DBC donor shows a remarkable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 104.86 mmol h-1 g-1 under full arc light (λ > 300 nm), which is much higher than that of the polymer TPE-BTDO (1.80 mmol h-1 g-1 ), demonstrating that DBC can be an efficient electron donor for constructing D-A polymer photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the value of renal color Doppler ultrasound examination and clinical indicators in evaluating the severity and prognosis of acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP) complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI) . Methods: In November 2019, 86 AOPP patients complicated by AKI who were admitted from May 2018 to May 2019 were selected as the observation group, and they were divided into AKI stage 1 group (n=37) , AKI stage 2 group (n=32) and AKI stage 3 group (n=17) . 40 healthy people were selected as the control group. The differences in power Doppler ultrasound (PDU) score, renal interlobular artery resistance index (RI) value and related clinical indicators of each group were measured and analyzed, and the correlations between the indicators were analyzed. At the same time, binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of death in AOPP patients complicated by AKI. Results: There were statistically significant differences in Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱscore, mean arterial pressure (MAP) , serum creatinine (SCr) and the length of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) between different groups (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the APACHE Ⅱscores and SCr of patients in the AKI stage 2 and resistance index AKI stage 3 groups increased, while the MAP decreased (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, AKI stage 1 group and AKI stage 2 group, the PDU score of patients in the AKI stage 3 group was significantly decreased, and the renal interlobular artery RI value was significantly increased (P<0.05) . SCr was positively correlated with the RI value of renal interlobular arteries and CRRT days (r=0.435, 0.713, P<0.05) , and was negatively correlated with renal PDU score (r=-0.643, P<0.05) . The renal PDU score was negatively correlated with the RI value of renal interlobular arteries and CRRT days (r=-0.350, -0.556, P<0.01) . Binary logistic regression analysis showed that SCr (OR=1.017, 95%CI: 1.004-1.041) and APACHE Ⅱ score (OR=1.289, 95%CI: 1.019-1.827) were risk factors for death in patients with AOPP complicated by AKI (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Both PDU score and the RI value of renal interlobular artery can reflect the severity and stage of patients with AOPP complicated by AKI to a certain extent, but neither of them is a key factor affecting the death of patients.

Abstract
Recently, great progress has been achieved in the design and preparation of conjugated organic polymer photocatalysts for hydrogen generation. However, it is still challenging to develop an organic polymer photocatalyst with high photoconversion efficiency. Rational structure design of organic polymer photocatalysts holds the key point to realize high photocatalytic performance. Herein, a series of donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) conjugated organic copolymer photocatalysts is developed using statistical copolymerization by tuning the feed molar ratio of pyrene (donor) to dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide (acceptor) units. It reveals that the photocatalytic activity of the resulting copolymers is significantly dependent on the molar ratio of donor to acceptor, which efficiently changes the polymer structure and component. When the monomer feed ratio is 25:75, the random copolymer PyBS-3 of 10 mg with Pt cocatalyst shows a high hydrogen evolution rate of 1.05 mmol h-1 under UV/Vis light irradiation using ascorbic acid as the hole-scavenger, and an external quantum efficiency of 29.3% at 420 nm, which represents the state-of-the-art of organic polymer photocatalysts. This work demonstrates that statistical copolymerization is an efficient strategy to optimize the polymer structure for improving the photocatalytic activity of conjugated organic polymer catalysts.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the effect of interleukin-6 (IL-6) on the phenotype and function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and explore the role of IL-6 in the process of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Methods: The experimental research method was used. Fresh umbilical cord discarded after normal maternal delivery was collected. On the second day of the primary cell isolation and cultivation, the cell morphology was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope. HUVECs of the 4th passage were identified by immunofluorescence method, and 2 batches of HUVECs ofthe 3rd to 5th passages were used for the subsequent experiments. The first batch of cells were divided into 6 groups according to the random number table (the same below): blank control group, 5 ng/mL IL-6 group, 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, 25 ng/mL IL-6 group, 50 ng/mL IL-6 group, and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group. The second batch of cells were divided into 4 groups: blank control group, 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, 25 ng/mL IL-6 group,and 50 ng/mL IL-6 group; the cells in blank control group was cultured with complete culture medium only, while the cells in the other groups were added with IL-6 of the corresponding final mass concentrations.Cells from the 1st batch were cultured for 72 hours after grouping, the morphology of HUVECS in the 6 groups was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope. At 72 h after grouping culture, the positive expressions of coagulation factor Ⅷ and α vascular smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in HUVECs in the 6 groups were detected by immunofluorescence method, and the ratio of the number of double positive cells to the number of coagulation factor Ⅷ positive cells (the ratio of double positive cells for short) was calculated, with 6 samples per group; mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial cadherin and α-SMA of HUVECs in 6 groups were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, with 3 samples per group.Cells from the 2nd batch were cultured 72 hours after grouping, the protein expression levels of vascular endothelial cadherin, α-SMA, and type Ⅰ collagen in the 4 groups were detected by Western blotting, with 3 samples per group. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni correction. Results: On the 2nd day after isolation and cultivation, the primary cells were in short spindle shape or polygon, cells of the 4th passage were identified as HUVECs by immunofluorescence method. At 72 hours of culture after grouping, the cells from the 1st batch in the 6 groups changed to long spindle shape morphologically along with the increase of IL-6 concentration, the intercellular connections decreased or disappeared with the gap between cells becoming larger.

Abstract
The rational design of advanced electrocatalysts and energy-saving electrolysis strategies is highly desirable for achieving high-efficiency electrochemical H2 generation yet challenging. In this work, we report highly branched Pd hydride nanodendrites (PdH-NDs) formed by a very facial solvothermal method and a succedent chemical H intercalation method in N,N-dimethylformamide. The electrocatalytic performance of PdH-NDs is experimentally and theoretically correlated with the morphology and composition, which has demonstrated substantially enhanced electrochemical activity and stability for formate oxidation reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline electrolyte compared with Pd nanodendrites. Density functional theory calculations suggest a downshift of the Pd d-band center of PdH-NDs due to the dominant Pd-H ligand effects that weaken the binding energies of the intermediate catalytic species and toxic carbon monoxide. The asymmetric formate electrolyzer based on bifunctional PdH-ND electrocatalysts is first constructed, which only requires a low voltage of 0.54 V at 10 mA cm-2 for continuous H2 generation. This study reveals significant insights about the morphology/composition-performance relationship for palladium hydrides with bifunctional electroactivity.

Abstract
Liver is a unique organ in displaying a reparative and regenerative response after acute/chronic damage or partial hepatectomy, when all the cell types must proliferate to re-establish the liver mass. The NADPH oxidase NOX4 mediates Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) actions, including apoptosis in hepatocytes and activation of stellate cells to myofibroblasts. Aim of this work was to analyze the impact of NOX4 in liver regeneration by using two mouse models where Nox4 was deleted: 1) general deletion of Nox4 (NOX4-/-) and 2) hepatocyte-specific deletion of Nox4 (NOX4hepKO). Liver regeneration was analyzed after 2/3 partial hepatectomy (PH). Results indicated an earlier recovery of the liver-to-body weight ratio in both NOX4-/- and NOX4hepKO mice and an increased survival, when compared to corresponding WT mice. The regenerative hepatocellular fat accumulation and the parenchyma organization recovered faster in NOX4 deleted livers. Hepatocyte proliferation, analyzed by Ki67 and phospho-Histone3 immunohistochemistry, was accelerated and increased in NOX4 deleted mice, coincident with an earlier and increased Myc expression. Primary hepatocytes isolated from NOX4 deleted mice showed higher proliferative capacity and increased expression of Myc and different cyclins in response to serum. Transcriptomic analysis through RNA-seq revealed significant changes after PH in NOX4-/- mice and support a relevant role for Myc in a node of regulation of proliferation-related genes. Interestingly, RNA-seq also revealed changes in the expression of genes related to activation of the TGF-β pathway. In fact, levels of active TGF-β1, phosphorylation of Smads and levels of its target p21 were lower at 24 h in NOX4 deleted mice. Nox4 did not appear to be essential for the termination of liver regeneration in vivo, neither for the in vitro hepatocyte response to TGF-β1 in terms of growth inhibition, which suggest its potential as therapeutic target to improve liver regeneration, without adverse effects.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of conjugated semiconducting polymers for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution have engendered intense recent interest. However, most reported organic polymer photocatalysts show a relatively broad band gap with weak light absorption ability in the visible light region, which commonly leads to a low photocatalytic activity under visible light. Herein, we synthesize three novel dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene-S,S-dioxide (DTDO) containing conjugated polymer photocatalysts by a facile C-H arylation coupling polymerization reaction. The resulting polymers show a broad visible light absorption range up to 700 nm and a narrow band gap down to 1.81 eV due to the introduction of the DTDO unit. Benefiting from the donor-acceptor polymer structure and the high content of the DTDO unit, the three-dimensional polymer PyDTDO-3 without the addition of a Pt co-catalyst shows an attractive photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 16.32 mmol h-1 g-1 under visible light irradiation, which is much higher than that of most reported organic polymer photocatalysts under visible light.

Abstract
Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have been heralded as promising energy-storage materials with advantages such as chemical flexibility, porous structure, and environmentally friendliness. Herein, a novel conjugated microporous polymer was synthesized by integrating triazine, thiophene, and benzothiadiazole into a polymer skeleton, and the Li+ -storage performance for the as-synthesized polymer anode in Li-ion batteries (LIBs) was investigated. Benefiting from the inherent large surface area, plentiful redox-active units, and hierarchical porous structure, the polymer anode delivered a high Li+ storage capacity up to 1599 mAh g-1 at a current rate of 50 mA g-1 with an excellent rate behavior (363 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ) and a long-term cyclability of 326 mAh g-1 over 1500 cycles at 5 A g-1 , implying that the newly developed polymer anode offers a great prospect for next-generation LIBs.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers show great potential in the application of photocatalysis, particularly for the photoreduction reaction of water to generate hydrogen. Molecular structure design is a key part for building a high-performance organic photocatalyst. Herein, two bisulfone-containing conjugated polymer photocatalysts were constructed with 1D or 3D polymer structures, and the effect of polymer geometry on photocatalytic activity was studied. It was found that the linear polymer PySEO-1 exhibited increased photocatalytic performance compared with the 3D polymer network PySEO-2 because the enhanced coplanarity of the polymeric chain in PySEO-1 promoted the photogenerated charge-carrier transmission along the 1D main chain. As a result, an attractive hydrogen generation rate of 9477 μmol h-1 g-1 was obtained with PySEO-1 under broadband light irradiation. PySEO-1 also exhibited a high external quantum efficiency of 4.1 % at an incident light wavelength of 400 nm, demonstrating that the bisulfone-containing polymers are attractive as organic photocatalysts for hydrogen production.

Abstract
In this work, a range of g-C3N4/MnO composites were constructed using g-C3N4 nanosheets modified with MnO, and the photocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution was evaluated by using these as-prepared g-C3N4/MnO composites as photocatalysts. It was found that the photocatalytic activity of the g-C3N4/MnO composites for hydrogen evolution is significantly enhanced compared with that of pristine g-C3N4 since the formation of heterojunctions between the MnO nanoparticles and g-C3N4 nanosheets through coordination covalent bonds promotes the charge carrier transfer and separation abilities of the composites. The loading mass of MnO also has a large influence on the photocatalytic activity of the g-C3N4/MnO composites. Particularly, the g-C3N4/MnO-5 composite with 5 wt% MnO shows superior photocatalytic activity with a hydrogen evolution rate of 559 μmol h-1 g-1 under visible light, which is about 9 times that of the bulky g-C3N4. These findings demonstrate that the combination of metal oxides and g-C3N4 to construct composite photocatalysts is an effective method to improve the photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) with a high conversion efficiency are quite promising candidates for energy conversion devices. Herein, we have successfully synthesized PdCo alloy nanocubes supported on carbon nanobowl (denoted as Pd2Co1/CNB) nanohybrids by using the cyanogel auto-reduction method at high temperature. The morphology, composition and structure of Pd2Co1/CNB nanohybrids are characterized in detail, revealing that PdCo nanocubes have a high alloying degree and special {110} facets. In cyclic voltammetry measurements, Pd2Co1/CNB nanohybrids show a mass activity of 1089.0 A g Pd-1 and a specific activity of 40.03 mA cm-2 for ethanol electrooxidation at peak potential, which are much higher than that of the commercial Pd/C electrocatalyst (278.2 A gPd-1 and 8.22 mA cm-2). Additionally, chronoamperometry measurements show that Pd2Co1/CNB nanohybrids have excellent durability for ethanol electrooxidation. A high alloying degree, special {110} facets and the CNB supporting material contribute to the high activity and durability of Pd2Co1/CNB nanohybrids, making them a highly promising Pt-alternative electrocatalyst for ethanol electrooxidation in DEFCs.

Abstract
Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with π-conjugated skeletons show great potential as energy storage materials due to their porous structure and tunable redox nature. However, CMPs and the structure-performance relationships have not been well explored for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs). Here, we report the structure-engineered CMP anodes with tunable electronic structures for high-performance KIBs. The results demonstrate that the electronic structure of the CMPs plays an important role in enhancing potassium storage capability, including the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) distribution, LUMO energy level, and band gap, which can be finely tuned by synthetic control. It was revealed that the poly(pyrene- co-benzothiadiazole) (PyBT) with optimized structure delivers a high reversible capacity of 428 mAh g-1 and shows an excellent cycling stability over 500 cycles. Our findings provide a fundamental understanding in the design of CMP anode materials for high-performance potassium-organic energy storage devices.

Abstract
Rationally designing and manipulating composition and morphology of precious metal-based bimetallic nanostructures can markedly enhance their electrocatalytic performance, including selectivity, activity, and durability. We herein report the synthesis of bimetallic PtRh alloy nanodendrites (ANDs) with tunable composition by a facile complex-reduction synthetic method under hydrothermal conditions. The structural/morphologic features, formation mechanism, and electrocatalytic performance of PtRh ANDs are investigated thoroughly by various physical characterization and electrochemical methods. The preformed Rh crystal nuclei effectively catalyze the reduction of Pt2+ precursor, resulting in PtRh alloy generation due to the catalytic growth and atoms interdiffusion process. The Pt atoms deposition distinctly interferes in Rh atoms deposition on Rh crystal nuclei, resulting in dendritic morphology of PtRh ANDs. For the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), PtRh ANDs display the chemical composition and solution pH co-dependent electrocatalytic activity. Because of the alloy effect and particular morphologic feature, Pt1Rh1 ANDs with optimized composition exhibit better reactivity and stability for the EOR than commercial Pt nanocrystals electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of picroside Ⅱ on the expression of mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) in rats after cerebral ischemiareperfusion. Methods: A total of 70 Wistar rats models with middle cerebral artery occlusionreperfusion (MCAO/R) were randomly divided into the sham group, model group, picroside (Picr) group, ruthenium red (RuR) group, RuR+ Picr group, Spermine (Sper) group, Sper+ Picr group (n=10 per group). Modified neurological severity scale (mNSS) was used to evaluated the neurobehavioral function, the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in brain tissues were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the morphology of brain tissues was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, the apoptotic cells were counted by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay (TUNEL), and the expressions of VDAC1 and endonuclease G (EndoG) were determined by immunohistochemical assay and Western blot. Results: Compared with the shame group, the mNSS scores (9.6±1.9), the expression of ROS[(47.6±2.7)U/ml], the apoptosis of neuron(23.8±2.8), and the expressions of VDAC1(0.94±0.06) and EndoG in cytoplasm (0.76±0.06) and nuclei(0.75±0.06)were enhanced in the model group (all P<0.05). The Picr group had obviously decreased mNSS scores (5.7±0.9), ROS expression[(35.6±2.2)U/ml], number of apoptotic cells (14.5±2.1), VDAC1 (0.63±0.06) and EndoG in cytoplasm (0.34±0.05) and nuclei (0.31±0.06)expressions compared to the model group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Picroside Ⅱ could attenuate cerebral I/R injury by down-regulating the expression of VDAC1 and inhibiting the EndoG release from mitochondria into cytoplasm.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the detection of endometrial carcinoma and to correlate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value with Ki-67 expression. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two patients with invasive cancer who underwent pelvic MRI were prospectively evaluated using DWI with b-values of 0 and 1000 s/mm2.The ADC values from standard DWI were measured. The expression of Ki-67 in histological specimens was analysed using immunohistochemistry. The ADC values of endometrial carcinoma and normal endometrial parenchyma were compared. Relationships between ADC values and Ki-67 expression were determined using Wilcoxon's signed rank test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS Endometrial carcinoma was detected at DWI as a hyperintense area in 92.3% (48/52) of patients. There was a significant difference in the mean ADC values between endometrial carcinoma and normal endometrial parenchyma (1.39±0.27×10-3 versus 0.93±0.21×10-3 mm2/s, p<0.001). The mean ADC values of grade 1 patients were significantly higher than those of grade 3 patients (1.01±0.16×10-3 versus 0.83±0.21×10-3 mm2/s, p<0.05). The mean ADC values of stage IB patients were significantly lower than those of stage IA patients (0.86±0.16×10-3 versus 1.04±0.21×10-3 mm2/s, p<0.01). The mean ADC values of high Ki-67 expression patients were significantly lower than those of low Ki-67 expression patients (0.82±0.12×10-3 versus 1.16±0.12×10-3 mm2/s, p<0.001). There was a significant negative correlation between the mean ADC value and Ki-67 expression (r=-0.82, p<0.001). CONCLUSION The ADC value was a helpful parameter for detecting the tumour grade, stage, and proliferation of endometrial carcinoma, and may further improve patient prognosis and contribute to the development of more effective treatment programmes.

Abstract
The proton enrichment at an electrode/solution interface remarkably increases the onset reduction potential of the hydrogen evolution reaction.
The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a highly promising green method for sustainable and efficient hydrogen production. So far, Pt nanocrystals are still the most active electrocatalysts for the HER in acidic media, although a tremendous search for alternatives has been done in the past decade. In this work, we synthesize polyethyleneimine (PEI) functionalized Pt superstructures (Pt-SSs@PEI) with tetragonal, hierarchical, and branched morphologies with a facile wet chemical reduction method. A series of physical characterizations are conducted to investigate the morphology, electronic structure, surface composition, and formation mechanism of Pt-SSs@PEI. Impressively, the as-prepared Pt-SSs@PEI show an unprecedented onset reduction potential (+64.6 mV vs. reversible hydrogen electrode) for the HER in strong acidic media due to the protonation of –NH2 groups in the PEI adlayers on the Pt surface, and they outperform all currently reported HER electrocatalysts. The work highlights a highly effective interface-engineering strategy for improving the electrocatalytic performance of Pt nanocrystals for the HER.

Abstract
Objective: To understand correlation between maternal drug use and environmental exposure during pregnancy and delivery pattern and allergy in infants and toddlers, and provide theoretical bases for the early prevention and intervention of infantile allergies. Methods: Case control study based on cross-sectional investigation was conducted. Thirty-three cities were selected in China. Randomly cluster sampling method was used to select a community in each city as the study sample, the women with infants aged 0-24 months were interviewed in the form of face-to-face questionnaire survey. Infants and toddlers were divided into two groups: case group, including 2 113 children who had allergic symptoms and were diagnosed with allergic disease, and control group, including 6 303 children who never had symptoms of allergic disease. Results: Children whose parents had allergic disease histories were more likely to have allergic disease (OR=3.950) compared with the children whose mother or father had allergic disease histories (OR=2.277). Maternal use of antibiotics (OR=1.396), disinfector exposure (OR=1.386), smoking exposure (OR=1.301) during pregnancy and cesarean delivery (OR=1.255) were risk factors for allergic disease in infants and toddlers, the differences were significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: It is essential to conduct primary prevention of infant allergy during pregnancy, and it is necessary to avoid unnecessary cesarean delivery and irrational antibiotic use, disinfector and smoking exposures during pregnancy.

Abstract
Porous carbon nanotubes (PCNTs) have attracted considerable attention due to their large specific surface areas and unique one-dimensional (1D) structures. However, most of the reported synthetic strategies for PCNTs are complex and expensive. Herein, we present a self-templated, surfactant-free strategy for the synthesis of high-quality PCNTs with high surface area by direct carbonization of 1D hyper-cross-linked polymer nanotubes. The precursors of the 1D hyper-cross-linked polymer nanotubes were synthesized by FeCl3 catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons with formaldehyde dimethyl acetal. It was found that the monomer concentration and mechanical agitation play crucial roles in the formation of the 1D tubular hyper-cross-linked polymer precursor. The tube size of the resulting PCNTs could be finely controlled by the aromatic monomers with different molecular sizes. The excellent electrochemical performances of the supercapacitors fabricated from the PCNTs demonstrate that these PCNTs are promising for the electrode materials of high-performance supercapacitors. This work highlights that the facile synthetic strategy for PCNTs would open up new avenues of porous carbon nanotube materials with promising applications.

Abstract
Inspired by graphene, ultrathin two-dimensional nanomaterials with atomic thickness have attracted more and more attention because of their unique physicochemical properties and electronic structure. In this work, the atomically thick ultrathin Rh2O3 nanosheet nanoassemblies (Rh2O3-NSNSs) were obtained by oxidizing the atomically thick ultrathin Rh nanosheet nanoassemblies with HClO. For the first time, Rh-based nanostructures were used as the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst in an alkaline medium. Surprisingly, the as-prepared Rh2O3-NSNSs displayed extremely improved catalytic activity and durability for the OER compared with those of the commercial Ir/C catalyst and most recently reported Ir-based electrocatalysts. The result indicated Rh-based nanostructures that have great promise to become a potential candidate for efficient OER electrocatalyst because of the similarity of Rh and Ir prices. These experimental results demonstrated the reasonable morphological control of Rh2O3 nanostructures could significantly improve their catalytic activity and durability during heterogeneous catalysis.
