    Abstract This study used monoethanolamine (MEA) as an amine-based solvent, which was blended with secondary amines (DIPA), tertiary amines, stereo amines, and piperazine (PZ) to prepare mixed amines at the required concentrations, which were used as the test solvents. To search for the best-mixed amines, a continuous bubble-column scrubber was adopted to explore the performance of mixed solvents presented in this study. The solvent regeneration test was also carried out at different temperatures. The selected factors included the type of mixed amine (A), the ratio of mixed amines (B), the liquid feed flow (C), the gas flow rate (D), the concentration of mixed amines (E), and the liquid temperature (F), each having five levels. Using the Taguchi experimental design, the conventional experimental number could be reduced from 15,625 to 25, saving much time and cost. The absorption efficiency (E F ), absorption rate (R A ), overall mass-transfer coefficient ( K G a ), and absorption factor (ϕ) were estimated as the indicators. After the Taguchi analysis, E, D, and C were found to play important roles in the capture of CO 2 gas. Verifications of optimum conditions were found to be 100%, 19.96 × 10 −4 mole/s·L, 1.2312 1/s, and 0.6891 mol-CO 2 /L·mol-solvent for E F , R A , K G a , and ϕ, respectively. The evaluated indexes suggested that MEA + PZ was the best-mixed amine, followed by MEA and MEA + DIPA. The solvent regeneration tests for the scrubbed solutions performed at different optimum conditions showed that the heat of the regeneration sequence was in the order of MEA > MEA + PZ > MEA + DIPA with minimum energy required at 110 °C. The individual energy required was also analyzed here.

    Abstract In this study, indium oxide nanowires of high-density were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) through a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism without carrier gas. The indium oxide nanowires possess great morphology with an aspect ratio of over 400 and an average diameter of 50 nm; the length of the nanowires could be over 30 μm, confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Characterization was conducted with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence spectrum (PL). High-resolution TEM studies confirm that the grown nanowires were single crystalline c-In

    Abstract (1) Background: The Fassier–Duval (FD) nail was developed for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The aim of this study was to review the results of OI patients treated with the FD nail at our institution and discuss a surgical strategy to decrease the FD nail revision rate; (2) Methods: We retrospectively reviewed OI patients treated at our institution between 2015 and 2020. OI patients treated with FD nail insertion in the long bones of the lower extremities were included, and those with a follow-up duration <1 year or incomplete radiographs were excluded. Data on the type of OI, age, sex, use of bisphosphonate treatment, and nail failure were recorded; (3) Results: The final cohort consisted of seven patients (three females and four males) with ten femurs and ten tibiae involved. Six of the patients had type III OI, and one had type IV OI. An exchange of implant was required in 11 limbs. The average interval between previous FD nail insertion and revision surgery was 2.4 years; (4) Discussion: The main reasons for revision surgery were migration of the male/female component, refracture/nail bending, and delayed union. In the femur, migration of the female component or nail bending were common reasons for failure, while migration of the male component and delayed union were common in the tibia; (5) Conclusions: Surgery for OI patients is challenging, and physicians should aim to minimize complications and the need for revision. Sufficient depth of purchase, center–center nail position, and adequate osteotomy to correct bowing are the key factors when using the FD nail.

    Abstract Purpose: Bioinformatics methods were used to identify the key genes associated with the immune microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to construct an immune risk prognostic model (IRPM) and to study the correlation between IRPM's risk groups and immune characteristics of patients with HCC.
    Methods: HCC transcriptome sequencing information was searched for immune-related genes (IRGs) that were regularly expressed in cancer tissues. The IRGs, which were strongly linked to overall survival were screened; the prognostic characteristics model was constructed using Cox regression analysis. IRPM's independent prognostic value was explored; Kaplan-Meier survival and receiver-operating characteristic curves were used to determine the model prediction ability in the led-to queue.
    Results: Patients in the high-risk group (HRG) showed significantly poor outcomes. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed factors involved in both the HRG and low risk group. Immune-related hub genes (IRHGs) and drug sensitivity expression levels revealed that all IRHGs were correlated with drug sensitivity for certain chemotherapy drugs.
    Conclusion: The study results may serve as a reference for improving prognosis, early screening, and immunotherapy in patients with HCC.

    Abstract Obesity is a prevalent metabolic disease that increases the risk of other diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. A meta-analysis of 11 randomized sham-controlled trials indicates that acupuncture had adjuvant benefits in improving simple obesity, and previous studies have reported that acupoint combinations were more useful than single-acupoint therapy. The Apriori algorithm, a data mining-based analysis that finds potential correlations in datasets, is broadly applied in medicine and business. This study, based on the Apriori algorithm-based association rule analysis, found the association rules of acupoints among 11 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). There were 23 acupoints extracted from 11 RCTs. We used Python to calculate the association between acupoints and disease. We found the top 10 frequency acupoints were Extra12, TF4, LI4, LI11, ST25, ST36, ST44, CO4, CO18, and CO1. We investigated the 1118 association rule and found that {LI4, ST36} ≥ {ST44}, {LI4, ST44} ≥ {ST36}, and {ST36, ST44} ≥ {LI4} were the most associated rules in the data. Acupoints, including LI4, ST36, and ST44, are the core acupoint combinations in the treatment of simple obesity.

    Abstract A new species, Takydromus yunkaiensis J. Wang, Lyu, & Y.Y. Wang, sp. nov. is described based on a series of specimens collected from the Yunkaishan Nature Reserve located in the southern Yunkai Mountains, western Guangdong Province, China. The new species is a sister taxon to T. intermedius with a genetic divergence of 8.0–8.5% in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, and differs from all known congeners by a combination of the following morphological characters: (1) body size moderate, SVL 37.8–56.0 mm in males, 42.6–60.8 mm in females; (2) dorsal ground color brown; ventral surface green to yellow-green, but light blue-green on chin and throat, posteriorly green in adult males; (3) dorsolateral lines paired, strikingly yellowish-white bordered by black above and below, invisible or indistinct in juveniles and adult females; (4) flanks of body blackish brown with light brown marks in adult males; (5) presence of four pairs of chin-shields; (6) four supraoculars on each side; (7) presence of a row of supracilary granules that separate supracilaries from supraoculars; (8) two postnasals; (9) enlarged dorsal scales in six longitudinal rows on trunk of body, with strong keel; (10) enlarged ventral scales in six longitudinal rows, strongly keeled in males, smooth but outermost rows weakly keeled in females; (11) enlarged and keeled lateral scales in a row above ventrals; (12) femoral pores 2–3 on each side; (13) subdigital lamellae 20–23 under the fourth finger, 23–30 under the fourth toe; and (14) the first 2–3 subdigital lamellae under the fourth toe divided. The discovery of Takydromus yunkaiensis sp. nov. brings the total number of species of this genus to 24, of which nine occur in mainland China.

    Abstract In this paper, we report the synthesis of iron silicide and β-iron disilicide nanowires with chemical vapor deposition; remarkably, the latter has drawn much attention but has seldom been achieved. We also propose the formation mechanisms for the two phases. To investigate the effects of the growth parameters on compositions and morphologies of the iron silicide nanowires, we changed and studied the reaction time, substrate temperature, position of samples, and pressure. The reaction concentration was found to be altered by all of the parameters; thus, we observed different nanowires in terms of morphologies and compositions with scanning electron microscopy. To confirm the growth direction and crystal structure of the nanowires, we conducted x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies. With the potential of being utilized as circuit elements in electronic devices for Schottky barriers, ohmic contacts, and interconnection among silicon-based transistors, the silicide work at nanoscale is beneficial for nanoelectronics. Understanding the effects of these growth parameters facilitates the control of nanowire growth with better quality.
