Rapid charge recombination and slow water oxidation kinetics are key drawbacks that limit the photoelectrochemical water splitting efficiency of Fe2O3. In this work, we designed and fabricated for the first time that a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived p-Cu2O/n-Ce-Fe2O3 nanorod array photoanode for the photogenerated charge effectively separated and transported at the Cu2O/Ce-Fe2O3 p-n heterojunction interface through a built-in electric field. In addition, the MOF-derived porous Cu2O nanoparticles have a large surface area, and thus, can offer more surface active sites for water oxidation. As anticipated, the novel structure Cu2O/Ce-Fe2O3 photoanode showed superior photocurrent density (3.2 mA cm-2), excellent bulk charge separation efficiency (38.4%), and surface charge separation efficiency (77.2%). After further modification with the FeOOH cocatalyst, the photocurrent density of the FeOOH/Cu2O/Ce-Fe2O3 photoanode reached 4.2 mA cm-2 at 1.23 VRHE (V vs reversible hydrogen electrode), having a low onset potential of 0.63 VRHE.Si is being intensively developed as a safe and high-performance anode for next-generation Li-ion batteries (LIBs); however, its battery application still remains challenging because of its low cycling Coulombic efficiency. To address this issue, we chose a conjugated polymer, polynaphthalene, as a carbon precursor and a low-cost commercial ferrosilicon (Fe-Si) alloy as the active phase to prepare a Fe-Si/C nanocomposite with a core-shell-like architecture through sand milling-assisted covalent-bonding method, followed by a carbonization reaction, thus forming a covalently bonded carbon coating on the surfaces of Fe-Si alloy nanoparticles. Benefitting from the greatly reduced volumetric expansion of Fe-Si alloy cores in the lithiation process and the stable interface provided by the outer carbon shell, the thus-prepared Fe-Si/C nanocomposite exhibits a high structural stability in repeated charge/discharge cycles. The experimental results reveal that the Fe-Si/C composite anode can demonstrate a high reversible capacity of 1316.2 mA h g-1 with an active mass utilization of 82.6%, a long-term cycle stability of more than 1000 cycles even at a considerably high current rate of 2.0 A g-1, and, in particular, a high cycling Coulombic efficiency of 99.7%, showing great prospect for application in practical LIBs.The transcallosal approach is commonly used for surgery of lateral and third ventricle lesions. Cognitive deficits due to the transcallosal approach still remain controversial. Even if enormous efforts have been made in order to understand specific functions of the corpus callosum, still little is known. The present study was aimed to evaluate the neuropsychological results and the functionality of the corpus callosum in transferring visual, auditory and tactile information between the two hemispheres in a group of patients who were treated using the transcallosal approach. The study evaluated the neuropsychological status of five selected patients presenting low-grade lesions of lateral ventricles that had not previously undergone surgical treatments and that did not receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy. All patients were administered an extensive neuropsychological testing postoperatively and the interhemispheric transfer of visual, auditory and tactile information was also evaluated. Two patients were tested preoperatively. Incisions of 2.4 cm maximum of the corpus callosum length were operated. The postoperative cognitive profile was normal. JTZ-951 cell line In some patients, a postoperative subnormal performance in memory functions was found but it cannot be attributable to the surgical approach given that it was altered even pre-surgically. Small incisions of the corpus callosum preserved the integrity of this anatomical structure in transferring lateralized information between the two hemispheres. The transcallosal approach is a safe surgical route to lateral ventricles lesions and the neuropsychological evaluation of these cases could give new insights in the comprehension of corpus callosum functions.Background The usefulness of adapted small-side games (SSGs) in improving cardiac function in subjects with T2DM is still debated. Here we evaluated the effects of 18weeks Indoor Muscular Activation training (6 wks; IMA) followed by adapted SSGs football training (12wks) on cardiac function, muscular fitness, Body Composition and adiponectin expression in sedentary T2DM volunteers. Methods 6 T2DM patients underwent IMA protocol of 6 wks, 2/wk followed by 12 wks SSGs (5vs5; once a wk) training. Glucose, lipid profile and serum homocysteine concentration, Body Composition (BC), bone mineral density (DEXA), were determined at baseline and after 18wks (IMA+SSGs). VO2max and muscular fitness were recorded at baseline and after IMA (6wks) and SSGs (12 wks), respectively. Results No significant differences were found for VO2max and muscular fitness after 6wks of IMA. After 18wks (6 wks IMA+ 12 wks SSGs) of training, significant improvements were found in the following parameters work capacity, VO2peack, Ventilation (VEpeack), breathing reserve consumption and oxygen uptake efficiency (OUES) (p less then 0.05); leg fitness (p less then 0.05), BC (p less then 0.05), vertebral column T-score (p less then 0.01) and adiponectin (total and High Molecular Weight, HMW; p less then 0.05). Compared to baseline, a reduction in serum homocystein (Hcy) occurred after 18 wks of training (p less then 0.05). Conclusions We evidenced that weekly adapted SSGs friendly football matches for 12 weeks improve cardiorespiratory capacity and the expression of independent markers associated with cardiovascular risk in T2DM patients, suggesting an overall reduced CVD-risk in these patients. These preliminary data encourage us to test the efficacy of this type of exercise in a larger population.Background Radiomic features are increasingly utilized to evaluate tumor heterogeneity in PET imaging but to date its role has not been investigated for Cho-PET in prostate cancer. The potential application of radiomics features analysis using a machine-learning radiomics algorithm was evaluated to select 18F-Cho PET/CT imaging features to predict disease progression in PCa. Methods We retrospectively analyzed high-risk PCa patients who underwent restaging 18F-Cho PET/CT from November 2013 to May 2018. 18F-Cho PET/CT studies and related structures containing volumetric segmentations were imported in the "CGITA" toolbox to extract imaging features from each lesion. A Machine-learning model has been adapted using NCA for feature selection, while DA was used as a method for feature classification and performance analysis. Results 106 imaging features were extracted for 46 lesions for a total of 4876 features analyzed. No significant differences between the training and validating sets in terms of age, sex, PSA values, lesion location and size (p > 0.
