Sandwiched ReS(2) nanocables with dual carbon coating for efficient K(+)/Na(+) storage performance
J Colloid Interface Sci. 2024 May 10;669:825-834. doi: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.063. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this work, the nanocables of few-layered ReS2 nanosheets sandwiched between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nitrogen-doped amorphous carbon (NC) coating (i.e., CNT@ReS2@NC) are synthesized as high-performance anodes of both potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The CNT@ReS2@NC nanocables with dual carbon modifications have the several advantages for efficient K+/Na+ storage. The few-layered ReS2 nanosheets with a wide interlayer spacing of 0.64 nm contribute to accelerated reaction kinet...

Alumina - Stabilized SEI and CEI in Potassium Metal Batteries
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 May 14:e202402214. doi: 10.1002/anie.202402214. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanopowder is spin-coated onto both sides of commercial polypropene separator to create artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and artificial cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) in potassium metal batteries (KMBs). This significantly enhances the stability, including of KMBs with Prussian Blue (PB) cathodes. For example, symmetric cells are stable after 1,000 cycles at 0.5 mA/cm2 - 0.5 mAh/cm2 and 3.0 mA/cm2 - 0.5 mAh/cm2. Alumina modified separators promote electrolyte wetting and increa...

Multifunctional laser-induced graphene circuits and laser-printed nanomaterials toward non-invasive human kidney function monitoring
Biosens Bioelectron. 2024 May 13;259:116386. doi: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116386. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFaced with the increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), portable monitoring of CKD-related biomarkers such as potassium ion (K+), creatinine (Cre), and lactic acid (Lac) levels in sweat has shown tremendous potential for early diagnosis. However, a rapidly manufacturable portable device integrating multiple CKD-related biomarker sensors for ease of sweat testing use has yet to be reported. Here, a portable electrochemical sensor integrated with multifunctional laser-induced graphene (LIG) circuits and l...

Efficacy and safety of potassium-competitive acid inhibitors in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that potassium-competitive acid inhibitors is non-inferior to PPIs as therapy for patients with GERD. The safety outcomes for potassium-competitive acid inhibitors are similar to those for PPIs.PMID:38741565 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2349638 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

The Monitoring of Accumulations of Elements in Apple, Pear, and Quince Fruit Parts
In this study, the distribution of biogenic macro and micro element contents in the peel, pulp, and seeds of some cultivated fruits was observed. The element concentrations of these fruits, which have high commercial value and consumption in the world, were analyzed with ICP-OES. In the "Golden" and "Starking" apple varieties, the lowest and highest calcium amounts were detected in the pulp and seed parts of the fruits, respectively. Additionally, the lowest and highest calcium amounts of pear and quince fruits were found in the seed and pulp and peel and seed parts of the fruits, respectively. Potassium amounts of "Golden...

Biocatalysis with in-situ product removal improves p-coumaric acid production
Chembiochem. 2024 May 14:e202400178. doi: 10.1002/cbic.202400178. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNatural and pure p-coumaric acid has valuable applications, and it can be produced via bioprocessing. However, fermentation processes have so far been unable to provide sufficient production metrics, while a biocatalytic process decoupling growth and production historically showed much promise. This biocatalytic process is revisited in order to tackle product inhibition of the key enzyme tyrosine ammonia lyase. In situ product removal is proposed as a possible solution, and a polymer/salt aqueous two-phase system is identified a...

The Role of Astrocytes in Migraine with Cortical Spreading Depression: Protagonists or Bystanders? A Narrative Review
AbstractCortical spreading depression (CSD) is a slow wave of cortical depolarization closely associated with migraines with an aura. Previously, it was thought that CSD depolarization was mainly driven by neurons, with characteristic changes in neuronal swelling and increased extracellular potassium (K+) and glutamate. However, the role of astrocytes, a member of the neurovascular unit, in migraine with CSD has recently received increasing attention. In the early stages of CSD, astrocytes provide neurons with energy support and clear K+ and glutamate from synaptic gaps. However, in the late stages of CSD, astrocytes relea...

Efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation and laparoscopic adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism: a meta ‑analysis
ConclusionWhile grossly comparable in efficacy as treatment options for PA, RFA may allow for shorter operative time and hospital stay, less intraoperative blood loss, and lower hospitalization costs. However, LA has better diastolic blood pressure control. Even so, we still need larger prospective studies, specifically with comparative hypertension response (short and long term) and number of post-procedural antihypertensive medication requirement.

Molecular features and prognostic factors of locally advanced microsatellite instability-high gastric cancer
ConclusionsThe molecular features and prognostic factors of locally advanced MSI-H gastric cancer were clarified. S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy appears to be beneficial, and the T cell-inflamed gene expression signature and histopathological type are prognostic factors in MSI-H tumors. (Source: Gastric Cancer)
