dings underline the importance to assess mortality risk and manage anaemia among IHF patients according to the renal function status.Sodium and potassium are considered to be the most promising anode candidates due to their easy availability, low-cost and similar chemical properties to lithium. Here, novel 3D accordion-like fluorinated graphite nanosheets (FGNSs) are reported as cathodes for sodium primary batteries (SPBs) and potassium primary batteries (PPBs). The FGNSs-x cathode exhibits unprecedented power and energy density due to the impressive 3D structure, high F/C ratio (1.0), and more surface CC bonds (7.14%). UCL-TRO-1938 The FGNSs-1.0 exhibits very high specific capacities of 831.3 and 834.1 mAh g-1 for SPBs and PPBs, respectively, close to the theoretical capacity. Besides, the maximum energy density of FGNSs-1.0 in SPBs and PPBs are 1960.5 and 2144.6 Wh kg-1 , respectively. The maximum power density for Na/CFx and K/CFx batteries could reach up to 7076.8 and 6227.4 W kg-1 , respectively. The electrochemical performance of FGNSs-1.0 at extreme temperatures (-30 to 100 °C), long storage time (60 days), high mass loading (3.6 mg cm-2 ), and pouch-type cell is also evaluated for the first time. Surprisingly, FGNSs-1.0 has outstanding performance in these projects. Therefore, the new-type Na/CFx and K/CFx primary battery systems developed here have broad application prospects in high-energy applications that require high-power, low-cost, and normal use under extreme conditions.
This study aims to analyse the employment effect of reformed nurse staffing policy which is the "Integrated Nursing and Care Service" scheme that was introduced by the Korean government.

Economic evaluation study focusing on employment effect.

An input-output model was used to estimate the employment-inducing effect of the new staffing policy. The analysed data of 26,381 beds, of 400 hospitals that are participated in the Integrated Nursing and Care Service scheme were retrieved from the Korean National Health Insurance claims database.

The job-creation effect of the new staffing policy was estimated to be 48.5 persons per USD 1 million expenditure, which means 28,154 persons were employed when USD 580.15 million expenditures was paid to the hospitals by the National Health Insurance Service. In addition, the policy had an employment-inducing effect which is as high as 3.09~6.07 times higher than that of similar industries and all industries.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), and autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) are disorders characterized by immune-mediated destruction of hematopoietic cell lineages. A link between pediatric immune cytopenias and inborn errors of immunity (IEI) was established in particular in the combined and chronic forms.

Aim of this study is to provide clinical-immunological parameters to hematologists useful for a prompt identification of children with immune cytopenias deserving a deeper immunological and genetic evaluation.

We retrospectively collected 47 pediatric patients with at least one hematological disorder among which persistent/chronic ITP, AIHA, and AIN, aged 0-18 years at onset of immune cytopenias and/or immune-dysregulation. The cohort was divided into two groups (IEI+ and IEI-), based on the presence/absence of underlying IEI diagnosis. IEI+ group, formed by 19/47 individuals, included common variable immune deficiency (CVID; 9/19), autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (Ants with immune cytopenias through a wide focused clinical/immunophenotypical characterization, which identifies children worthy of IEI-related molecular analysis, favouring a genetic IEI diagnosis and potentially unveiling new targeted-gene variants responsible for IEI phenotype.
The synergy between hematologists and immunologists can improve and fasten diagnosis and management of patients with immune cytopenias through a wide focused clinical/immunophenotypical characterization, which identifies children worthy of IEI-related molecular analysis, favouring a genetic IEI diagnosis and potentially unveiling new targeted-gene variants responsible for IEI phenotype.Recent studies have identified microRNAs (miRNAs) as a compelling novel class of biomarker in colorectal cancer (CRC) development and metastasis. Here, we demonstrated that the level of plasma exosomal miR-140-3p in CRC patients was lower than that in healthy controls. The decreased miR-140-3p level was also observed in CRC patients with liver metastasis. The expression of miR-140-3p in CRC tissues were significantly lower than that in matched normal tissues. Functionally, miR-140-3p overexpression suppressed proliferation, migration, invasion, and β-catenin nuclear translocation, as well as promoted apoptosis in LoVo cells, while inhibition of miR-140-3p reversed these cellular processes in HCT 116 cells. Notably, BCL9 and BCL2 were recognized as direct targets of miR-140-3p. BCL9 knockdown abrogated miR-140-3p inhibitor-induced effects on HCT 116 cells with decreased proliferation, migration, and invasion. BCL2 knockdown increased apoptosis of miR-140-3p inhibitor-transfected HCT 116 cells. In vivo experiments revealed that miR-140-3p overexpression inhibited tumor growth in LoVo xenograft model and diminished metastatic nodules in nude mice liver. Taken together, this work supports that miR-140-3p exerts as a tumor suppressor in CRC progression via targeting BCL9 and BCL2, and suggests miR-140-3p-BCL9/BCL2 axis may be applied in miRNA-based therapy and prognostication of CRC.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a widely used solvent to dissolve hydrophobic substances for clinical uses and experimental in vivo purposes. While usually regarded safe, our prior studies suggest changes to behavior following DMSO exposure. We therefore evaluated the effects of a five-day, short-term exposure to DMSO on postnatal infant rats (P6-10).

DMSO was intraperitoneally injected for five days at 0.2, 2.0, and 4.0ml/kg body mass. One cohort of animals was sacrificed 24hr after DMSO exposure to analyze the neurometabolic changes in four brain regions (cortex, hippocampus, basal ganglia, and cerebellum) by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography. A second cohort of animals was used to analyze chronic alterations to behavior and pathological changes to glia and neuronal cells later in life (P21-P40).

164 metabolites, including key regulatory molecules (retinoic acid, orotic acid, adrenic acid, and hypotaurine), were found significantly altered by DMSO exposure in at least one of the brain regions at P11 (p<.
