Efficacy of single-source rapid kV-switching dual-energy CT for characterization of non-uric acid renal stones: a prospective ex vivo study using ant…

2019

Purpose To investigate the accuracy of rapid kV-switching single-source dual-energy computed tomography (rsDECT) for prediction of classes of non-uric-acid stones. Materials and methods Non-uric-acid renal stones retrieved via percutaneous nephrolithotomy were prospectively collected between January 2017 and February 2018 in a single institution. Only stones >= 5 mm and with pure composition (i.e., >= 80% composed of one component) were included. Stone composition was determined using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The stones were scanned in 32-cm-wide anthropomorphic whole-body phantom using rsDECT. The effective atomic number (Zeff), the attenuation at 40 keV (HU40), 70 ke…

Role of Peripheral Immune Cells-Mediated Inflammation on the Process of Neurodegenerative Diseases

2020

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive loss of selectively vulnerable neuronal populations, which contrasts with selectively static loss of neurons due to toxic or metabolic disorders. The mechanisms underlying their progressive nature remain unknown. To date, a timely and well-controlled peripheral inflammatory reaction is verified to be essential for neurodegenerative diseases remission. The influence of peripheral inflammation on the central nervous system is closely related to immune cells activation in peripheral blood. The immune cells activation participated in the uncontrolled and prolonged inflammation that drives the chronic progression of neurodegenerative di…

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function

2016

Reduced glomerular filtration rate defines chronic kidney disease and is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), combining data across 133,413 individuals with replication in up to 42,166 individuals. We identify 24 new and confirm 29 previously identified loci. Of these 53 loci, 19 associate with eGFR among individuals with diabetes. Using bioinformatics, we show that identified genes at eGFR loci are enriched for expression in kidney tissues and in pathways relevant for kidney development and transmembrane transporter activity, kidney structure, and regulation o…

A High‐Capacity Negative Electrode for Asymmetric Supercapacitors Based on a PMo 12 Coordination Polymer with Novel Water‐Assisted Proton Channels

2020

The development of a negative electrode for supercapacitors is a critical challenge for the next-generation of energy-storage devices. Herein, two new electrodes formed by the coordination polymers [Ni(itmb)4 (HPMo12 O40 )]·2H2 O (1) and [Zn(itmb)3 (H2 O)(HPMo12 O40 )]·4H2 O (2) (itmb = 1-(imidazo-1-ly)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene), synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, are described. Compounds 1 and 2 show high capacitances of 477.9 and 890.2 F g-1 , respectively. An asymmetric supercapacitor device assembled using 2 which has novel water-assisted proton channels as negative electrode and active carbon as positive electrode shows ultrahigh energy density and power density of…
