This metal could theoretically provide negative discharge potential and exhibit large capacity during the discharge process. However, when the magnesium anode is adopted for practical applications, several issues, such as the discharge products adhered to the electrode surface, the self-discharge occurring on the anode material, and the detachment of metallic particles, adversely affect its inherently good discharge performance. In this work, the types of chemical power sources using magnesium as anodes were elaborated, and the approaches to enhance its anode performance were analyzed.展开更多

Total numbers of the microbial population (bacteria, fungi, and actinomyces) along with urease activities in the macrophytic root zones were determined. In addition, the relationships between microbial populations and urease activities as well as the wastewater purification efficiencies of total phosphorus (TP), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), biochemical oxygen demand in 5 days (BOD5), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were also analyzed. The results showed that there was a highly significant positive correlation (r = 0.9772, P < 0.01) between the number of bacteria in the root zones and BOD5 removal efficiency and a significant negative correlation (r = -0.9092, P < 0.05) between the number of fungi and the removal efficiency of TKN. Meanwhile, there was a significant positive correlation (r -- 0.8830, P < 0.05) between urease activities in the root zones and the removal efficiency of TKN. Thus, during wastewater treatment in a constructed wetland system,microorganism and urease activities in the root zones were very important factors.展开更多

METHODS The data from 113 patients with breast cancer of the same pathologic type in Stage Ⅱ,during the period of 1995 to 2001,were analyzed retrospectively.Among the patients,47 were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy,and 66 received no adjuvant therapy before surgery(control group).After the patients of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group had received 2 courses of chemotherapy with the CMF regimen,the surgical procedure was conducted. RESULTS Complete remission(CR)was attained in 9 of the 47 cases receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and partial remission(PR)was reached for 22 cases.The rate of breast-conserving surgery was enhanced from 22.73%to 46.81%(P〈0.05)in the neoadjuvant treatment group. There was no difference in the 5-year overall survival(OS)and disease-free survival(DFS)rate between the two groups(P〉0.05),but the 5-year OS and DFS of the cases with clinical tumor remission was higher compared to the control group(P〈0.05). CONCLUSION Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can enhance the rate of breast conservation for Stage Ⅱ breast cancer and may improve the prognosis of the cases with clinical remission.展开更多

Zn O with lotus-rootlike structures was first prepared through a hydrothermal process. We also investigated the effects of various Au contents on the photocatalytic activities in detail. Notably, compared to the pure Zn O component, these resulting lotus-root-like Au-Zn O nanostructures with the appropriate amounts of Au content exhibited better photocatalytic efficiency.展开更多

The photocatalytic efficiency of the obtained multilayer film increases along with the decrease of pH and salt concentration of the incubation solution. The results show that MO can be almost re- moved in pH 2.0 solution without salt addition in the first 60 min incubation when MO concentration is lower than 15 mg/L. Different salts show an apparent inhibitory effect on photocatalytic degradation of MO with the order of ZnC12〉KCI〉 NaC1〉LiCI. The TiO2/SiW12 multilayer film maintains photocatalytic activity even after five degradation cycles. The reaction of MO photodegradation accords with an apparent first-order dynamics.展开更多

However, the superior examples of TSF-OLEDs are still limited up to now.Herein, a trade-off strategy is presented for designing efficient TADF materials and achieving highperformance TSF-OLEDs via the construction of a new type of triazolotriazine(TAZTRZ) acceptor. The enhanced electron-withdrawing ability of TAZTRZ acceptor, fused by triazine(TRZ) and triazole(TAZ)together, enables TADF luminogens with small singlet-triplet energy gap(ΔE_(ST)) values. Meanwhile, the increased planarity from the TRZ-phenyl linkage(6:6 system) to the TAZ-phenyl linkage(5:6 system)can compensate the decrease of oscillator strength(f) while lowing ΔE_(ST), thus achieving a trade-off between small ΔE_(ST) and high f. As a result, the related TSF-OLED achieved an extremely low turn-on voltage of 2.1 V, an outstanding maximum external quantum efficiency(EQEmax) of 23.7% with small efficiency roll-off(EQE1000 of 23.2%;EQE5000 of 20.6%) and an impressively high maximum power efficiency of 82.1 lm W^(-1), which represents the state-of-the-art performance for yellow TSF-OLEDs.展开更多
