    Abstract Porous metals are widely used in filtration and separation, flame retardant explosion-proof, biomedical application, etc. Compared with its corresponding dense metal, the presence of porous structures also leads to different corrosive performances in porous metal. Some studies have utilized the weight loss method, electrochemical impedance to evaluate porous metal corrosion behavior; however, the influence of pore structure on metal corrosion is still ambiguous, and present methods used for analyses of porous metal corrosion are statistical averages of the corrosion behavior of the entire porous material, which cannot accurately reflect the corrosion behavior inside the pores. Herein, we prepare the porous copper samples with 0, 24, 72, and 96 pores using a mechanical process, and employ scanning Kelvin probe combined with electrochemical polarization and impedance spectroscopy to test the corrosion performance of the porous copper in static and dynamic NaCl solutions. The relevant results indicate that in the static solution, the corrosion resistance of the samples gradually increases with the rise in the number of pores. By contrast, in the dynamic solution, the 24-pore sample is more susceptible to corrosion than the sample without the pore.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic sciatic neurolysis for treating deep gluteal syndrome (DGS) and to analyse the application value of high-frequency ultrasound during perioperative period.
    Methods: Between June 2020 and February 2022, 30 patients with DGS who underwent failed conservative treatment were retrospectively analysed. Lateral arthroscopic exploration of the deep gluteal space and sciatic neurolysis were performed. In addition to pelvic X-ray, lumbar disc and hip magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography of the sciatic nerve was also performed in all patients. The visual analogue scale pain score (VAS), modified Harris hip score (mHHS) and Benson symptom-rating scale were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy. The correlation between preoperative sciatic nerve ultrasound and arthroscopic findings was analysed.
    Results: The median follow-up for these patients was 13 months (range,12-21 months). Preoperative ultrasonography showed precise morphological changes in 26 sciatic nerves of patients. The VAS score decreased from 5.0 (4.0, 6.0) preoperatively to 0.5 (0, 1.0) postoperatively (p < 0.001), and the mHHS increased from 64.0 (57.0, 67.0) preoperatively to 95.0 (93.0, 97.0) postoperatively (p < 0.001). The Benson symptom score was excellent in 15 cases, good in 12 cases, fair in 2 cases, poor in 1 case; thus, the score was excellent or good in 90% of the cases. Preoperative ultrasound diagnosis and intra-operative findings matched up in all cases. There were four cases of transient numbness in the posterior thigh.
    Conclusions: Arthroscopic sciatic neurolysis is a safe and effective treatment option for DGS patients who fail conservative treatment. Ultrasound diagnosis matched the arthroscopic findings perfectly. Preoperative Doppler ultrasound can assist surgical decision-making, guide intraoperative release.

    Abstract The S protein of the SARS-CoV-2 is a Type I membrane protein that mediates membrane fusion and viral entry. A vast amount of structural information is available for the ectodomain of S, a primary target by the host immune system, but much less is known regarding its transmembrane domain (TMD) and its membrane-proximal regions. Here, we determined the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structure of the S protein TMD in bicelles that closely mimic a lipid bilayer. The TMD structure is a transmembrane α-helix (TMH) trimer that assembles spontaneously in membrane. The trimer structure shows an extensive hydrophobic core along the 3-fold axis that resembles that of a trimeric leucine/isoleucine zipper, but with tetrad, not heptad, repeat. The trimeric core is strong in bicelles, resisting hydrogen-deuterium exchange for weeks. Although highly stable, structural guided mutagenesis identified single mutations that can completely dissociate the TMD trimer. Multiple studies have shown that the membrane anchor of viral fusion protein can form highly specific oligomers, but the exact function of these oligomers remain unclear. Our findings should guide future experiments to address the above question for SARS coronaviruses.

    Abstract The epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway has been proposed to benefit non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. In this manuscript, we investigated the modification of 2-aryl-4-aminoquinazoline, the classical backbone of the fourth-generation EGFR inhibitors, in addition to obtaining a series of novel 2-aryl-4-aminothienopyrimidine derivatives (A1~A45), we also gained further understanding of the modification of this framework. Derivatives were tested for cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines (cervical cancer cell line Hela, lung cancer cell lines A549, H1975, and PC-9, Ba/F3-EGFR
