The results showed that HC1, H2SO4, H3BO3, H3PO4, and HNO3 had negligible effect, while all the tungstic compounds imposed inhibiting effects on the hydrogenation of glucose over Ru/C catalyst, and the suppressing effect followed the order of H2WO4〉HPW〉WO3〉AMT〉HSiW. This order is the same as the order of ethylene glycol （EG） yields in the one-pot conversion of glucose to EG, suggesting the important role of competition between glucose hydrogenation and retro-aldol condensation in controlling the selectivity of EG.展开更多

Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the prognostic value of PD-L1 expression in CRC patients.Methods All eligible studies related to evaluation of PD-L1 expression and survival of CRC patients were searched in PubMed, Medline, Cochrane library, and the EMBASE database. Hazard ratios(HRs) and 95% confidence intervals(CI) of overall survival(OS) were examined to assess the effect of PD-L1 expression on the survival of CRC patients. The outcomes of this meta-analysis were synthesized based on randomeffects model. Subgroup analyses were also performed. Results Seven studies, wherein OS data were stratified according to the expression status of PD-L1, were analyzed. CRC patients showing positive PD-L1 expression were associated with significantly poorer prognoses in terms of overall survival, compared with those displaying negative PD-L1 expression(HR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.07–1.92; P = 0.02). In the subgroup analyses, H-scores as well as the percentage of stained cells indicated that PD-L1 expression was significantly associated with poor prognosis(HR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.38–2.62, P < 0.01; HR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.08–3.03, P = 0.02). Immunohistochemical staining, utilizing a rabbit anti-PD-L1 antibody, revealed significantly superior survival in the PD-L1 negative group compared with the PD-L1 positive expression group(HR = 1.92; 95% CI, 1.40-2.63; P < 0.01). Moreover, PD-L1 expression was significantly associated with poor prognosis when polyclonal antibodies were used(HR = 1.84; 95% CI, 1.30–2.61; P < 0.01). Conclusion Our meta-analysis indicated that PD-L1 expression status is a significant prognostic factor for CRC patients. Positive PD-L1 expression was associated with worse CRC survival. Evaluation via different immunohistochemistry based techniques may partly account for the contradictory results. Therefore, further investigative studies using larger sample sizes are felt to be needed to elucidate the prognostic value of PD-L1 expression in CRC patients.展开更多

However, few studies have focused on the safety and efficacy of combined targeted therapy against those of a single inhibition therapy of EFGR or VEGF. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the anti-tumor activity of the combined inhibition therapy and single inhibition therapy in patients with mCRC. Methods We searched PubMed, Medline, the Cochrane library, Embase, and annual meeting proceedings for relevant clinical trials. Objective response rate(ORR), progression-free survival(PFS), overall survival(OS), and adverse events were extracted and calculated.Results Nine trials comprising 3977 patients were selected for the analysis. The combined inhibition therapy showed a 3.7% improvement in ORR compared with single inhibition, and this difference was statistically significant [hazard ratio(HR) = 1.33; 95% confidence interval(CI), 1.01–1.74; P = 0.04]. Subgroup analysis showed that the combined EGFR and VEGF inhibitor therapy had an 11.65% improvement in ORR compared with VEGF inhibitor therapy(OR = 2.14; 95% CI, 1.34–3.40; P = 0.001). EGFR and VEGF inhibitor therapy and chemotherapy had an 18.08% improvement in ORR compared with chemotherapy(OR = 2.21; 95% CI, 1.05–4.64; P = 0.04). Moreover, EGFR and VEGF inhibitor therapy significantly improved PFS compared with VEGF inhibitor therapy(OR = 0.82; 95% CI, 0.69–0.97; P = 0.02). VEGF inhibitor therapy and chemotherapy significantly improved PFS compared with EGFR and VEGF inhibitor therapy and chemotherapy(OR = 1.20; 95% CI, 1.11–1.30; P = 0.00). In addition, EGFR and VEGF inhibitor therapy showed improved OS compared with VEGF inhibitor therapy(HR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.65–0.94; P = 0.008). Finally, the combined inhibition therapy showed an obviously increased risk of cutaneous and mucosal effects(RR = 6.45; 95% CI: 2.71–15.36; P < 0.01), diarrhea/abdominal pain(RR = 1.97; 95% CI: 1.45–2.68; P < 0.01), fatigue/asthenia(RR = 1.60; 95% CI: 1.10–2.32; P = 0.01), dehydration or electrolyte disturbance(RR = 2.78; 95% CI: 1.48–5.21; P < 0.01), nail disorder(RR = 8.23; 95% CI: 1.52–44.57; P = 0.01), and dizziness/headache(RR = 3.43; 95% CI: 1.89–6.23; P < 0.01) compared with single inhibition therapy.Conclusion Compared with single inhibition therapy, the combined inhibition therapy significantly improved ORR, PFS, and OS in the treatment of mCRC patients. Compared with a single-targeted agent, the combined therapy of anti-EGFR and anti-VEGF drug provided an efficacy advantage, although it led to greater toxicity.展开更多

Howeve...Two-dimensional(2D) nanomaterials have attracted great attention in next generation electronic and optoelectronic technologies due to the unique layered structure and excellent physical and chemical properties. However, the mechanism of transmission along the vertical direction of 2D semiconductor materials has not been investigated. Here, we use first-principles calculations to explore the bandgap energies along different directions, and fabricate a vertical, a lateral and a mixture-structured black phosphorus field effect transistor(BPFET) to study the electrical characteristics along different directions under variable temperatures. The variable temperature test indicates that the mixture-structured device performs more like a lateral device, while the conductance along the vertical direction is hard to be tuned by temperature and electrical field. The unchanged conductance under electric field and variable temperatures allows the vertical device to act as a fixed resistor, promising possible application for the prospective electronic and optoelectronic devices.展开更多

The physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts were investigated by X-ray fluorescence （XRF）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） analyses, etc. The effects of Mn loading, reaction temperature and individual flue gas components on denitration and Hg0 removal were examined. The results indicated that the optimal MrgTi molar ratio was 0.8 and the best working temperature was 240℃for NO conversion. 02 and a proper ratio of [NH3]/[NO] are essential for the denitration reaction. Both NO conversion and Hg0 removal efficiency could reach more than 80% when NO and Hg0 were removed simultaneously using Mn0.8Ti at 240℃. Hg0 removal efficiency slightly declined as the Mn content increased in the catalysts. The reaction temperature had no significant effect on Hg0 removal efficiency. 02 and HCI had a promotional effect on Hg0 removal. SO2 and NH3 were observed to weaken Hg0 removal because of competitive adsorption. NO first facilitated Hg0 removal and then had an inhibiting effect as NO concentration increased without 02, and it exhibited weak inhibition of Hg0 removal efficiency in the presence of 02. The oxidation of Hg0 on MnOx/ TiO= follows the Mars-Maessen and Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanisms.展开更多

文摘Chromium released during municipal solid waste incineration(MSWI)is toxic and carcinogenic.The removal of chromium from simulated MSWI flue gas by four sorbents(CaO,bamboo charcoal(BC),powdered activated carbon(PAC),and Al_(2)O_(3))and the effects of four oxides(SiO_(2),Al_(2)O_(3),Fe_(2)O_(3),and CaO)on chromium speciation transformationwere investigated.The results showed that the removal rates of total Cr by the four sorbents were Al_(2)O_(3)<CaO<PAC<BC,while the removal rates of Cr(Ⅵ)by the four sorbents were Al_(2)O_(3)<PAC<BC<CaO.CaO had a strong oxidizing effect on Cr(Ⅲ),while BC and PAC had a better-reducing effect on Cr(Ⅵ).SiO_(2)was better for the reduction of Na_(2)CrO_(4)and K_(2)CrO_(4)above 1000℃due to its strong acidity,and the addition of CaO significantly inhibited the reduction of Cr(Ⅵ).MgCrO_(4)decomposed above 700℃to form MgCr_(2)O_(4),and the reaction between MgCrO_(4)and oxides also existed in the form of a more stable trivalent spinel.Furthermore,when investigating the effect of oxides on the oxidation of Cr(Ⅲ)in CrC_(l3),it was discovered that CaO promoted the conversion of Cr(Ⅲ)to Cr(Ⅵ),while the presence of chlorine caused chromium to exist in the form of Cr(V),and increasing the content of CaO and extending the heating time facilitated the oxidation of Cr(Ⅲ).In addition,silicate,aluminate,and ferrite were generated after the addition of SiO_(2),Al_(2)O_(3),and Fe_(2)O_(3),which reduced the alkalinity of CaO and had an important role in inhibiting the oxidation of Cr(Ⅲ).The acidic oxides can not only promote the reduction of Cr(Ⅵ)but also have an inhibitory effect on the oxidation of Cr(Ⅲ)ascribed to alkali metals/alkaline earth metals,and the proportion of acidic oxides can be increased moderately to reduce the generation of harmful substances in the hazardous solid waste heat treatment.

文摘Heterogeneous agglomeration (HA) is a very potential technology for coal-fired flue gas treatment.In this paper,the distribution and migration mechanisms of trace elements (TEs such as Se,As and Pb in CFPPs were studied on a 30,000 m^(3)/hr pilot-scale experimental plat form.The influences of HA on the removal efficiency of gaseous and particulate TEs were well analyzed.The results showed that Se,As and Pb were enriched in fly ash,and their sen sitivity to particle size is quite different.The content of Se was the highest in PM1,reaching193.04 mg/kg at the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) outlet.The average particle size of the total dust before ESP increased significantly from 21.686 to 62.612μm after injecting the heterogeneous agglomeration adsorbent,conducive to its further removal by ESP.In addi tion,the concentrations of gaseous Se,As and Pb in the flue gas decreased after adsorben spray,and accordingly,their contents in the hierarchical particles increased,indicating tha the adsorbent could effectively promote the adsorption of gaseous trace elements in fly ash and reduce the possibility of their escape to the atmosphere.Total concentrations of Se,As and Pb emitted by wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) are 0.223,0.668 and 0.076μg/m^(3)which decreased by 59.98%,47.69%and 90.71%,respectively.Finally,a possible HA mecha nism model was proposed,where chemical adsorption,physical condensation and collision agglomeration of gaseous TEs and fine particles with adsorbent droplets occurred to form larger agglomerates.

文摘Designing highly reliable and practical microwave absorbers is one of the most important research directions in the microwave absorbing field.Many absorbents suffer from concentration-sensitivity and environmental-sensitivity dilemmas in practical applications.Here,sea urchin-like aggregates of MnO_(2)nanotubes were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method,which exhibit an outstanding impedance matching characteristic.The composites based on sea urchin-like aggregates of MnO_(2)nanotubes show excellent microwave absorption performance in a wide concentration domain from 20 wt.%to 70 wt.%,corresponding to electrical conductivities from 1.86×10^(−7)to 1.85×10^(−5)S/m.Such a wide concentration range of absorbent for excellent microwave absorption is mainly attributed to the beneficial impedance matching properties of sea urchin-like aggregates of hollow nanotubes.A competitive absorption bandwidth of 3.36 GHz is achieved at 1 mm thickness,which can be broadened to 13.4 GHz by structural design.This work shows a new scheme for designing reliable and practical microwave absorbers benefit from the wide absorbent concentration domain.

文摘Titanium dioxides have been extensively investigated as promising anodes for Lithium ion batteries(LIBs)because of the high–rate capacity and cyclability,as well as the improved safety over graphite anode(1,2)However,as a typical insertion–type anode,anatase TiO2 exhibits low conductivity(10–12S cm-1 for electron conductivity[3]and 10–17–10–10 cm2 s1 for Li+ion diffusion coefficient[4])and poor specific capacity(only accommodate<0.5 Li per bulk TiO2 unit[5]),severely limiting its practical applications.

文摘Transparent glass has been identified as a vital medium for three-dimensional(3D)optical information storage and multi-level encryption.However,it has remained a challenge for directly writing 3D patterning inside a transparent glass using semiconductor blue laser instead of high-cost femtosecond laser.Here,we demonstrate that rare earth ions doped transparent glass can be used as 3D optical information storage and data encryption medium based on their reversible transmittance and photoluminescence manipulation.The color of tungsten phosphate glass doped with rare earth ions change reversibly from light yellow to blue upon alternating 473 nm laser illumination and temperature stimulation,resulting in the reversible luminescence modulation.The information data could be repeatedly written and erased in arbitrary 3D space of transparent glass,not only showing the ability of the excellent reproducibility and storage capacity,but also opening opportunities in information security.The present work expands the application fields of luminescent glass,and it is conducive to develop a novel 3D data storage and information encryption media.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D) nanomaterials have attracted great attention in next generation electronic and optoelectronic technologies due to the unique layered structure and excellent physical and chemical properties. However, the mechanism of transmission along the vertical direction of 2D semiconductor materials has not been investigated. Here, we use first-principles calculations to explore the bandgap energies along different directions, and fabricate a vertical, a lateral and a mixture-structured black phosphorus field effect transistor(BPFET) to study the electrical characteristics along different directions under variable temperatures. The variable temperature test indicates that the mixture-structured device performs more like a lateral device, while the conductance along the vertical direction is hard to be tuned by temperature and electrical field. The unchanged conductance under electric field and variable temperatures allows the vertical device to act as a fixed resistor, promising possible application for the prospective electronic and optoelectronic devices.

文摘A catalyst composed of manganese oxides supported on titania （MnOx/TiO2） synthesized by a sol-gel method was selected to remove nitric oxide and mercury jointly at a relatively low temperature in simulated flue gas from coal-fired power plants. The physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts were investigated by X-ray fluorescence （XRF）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） analyses, etc. The effects of Mn loading, reaction temperature and individual flue gas components on denitration and Hg0 removal were examined. The results indicated that the optimal MrgTi molar ratio was 0.8 and the best working temperature was 240℃for NO conversion. 02 and a proper ratio of [NH3]/[NO] are essential for the denitration reaction. Both NO conversion and Hg0 removal efficiency could reach more than 80% when NO and Hg0 were removed simultaneously using Mn0.8Ti at 240℃. Hg0 removal efficiency slightly declined as the Mn content increased in the catalysts. The reaction temperature had no significant effect on Hg0 removal efficiency. 02 and HCI had a promotional effect on Hg0 removal. SO2 and NH3 were observed to weaken Hg0 removal because of competitive adsorption. NO first facilitated Hg0 removal and then had an inhibiting effect as NO concentration increased without 02, and it exhibited weak inhibition of Hg0 removal efficiency in the presence of 02. The oxidation of Hg0 on MnOx/ TiO= follows the Mars-Maessen and Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanisms.

文摘Pristine and Bi-doped lanthanum titanium oxide(La_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7))nanosheets have been synthesized as photocatalysts for overall solar water splitting.The surface hole trap is a critical factor that limits the photocatalytic activity of pristine La_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7)-Deposition of cobalt phosphate(Co-Pi)and platinum(Pt)nanoparticles on La_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7) cannot remove the surface traps although they are essential for enabling the oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions.It is interesting that doping bismuth(Bi)into La_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7) nanosheets has eliminated the surface traps due to surface enrichment of Bi.The Co-Pi/Bi-La_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7)/Pt nanosheets exhibit increasing photocatalytic activity toward overall water splitting with increasing the Bi-dopant level up to 5 at.%.Further increasing the Bi-dopant level leads to the formation of localized states above the valence band,leading to the lifetime reduction of photogenerated charge-carriers,and jeopardizing the photocatalytic activity.This work proposes an effective strategy to address the surface trapping and surface catalysis issues in the nanostructured metal oxide photocatalysts.
