61-3.99, along as methanol tolerance and superior long-term stability. Comprehensive studies have shown that there is a positive correlation between the total amount of pyrrolic-N and quaternary-N and the catalytic performance of ORR.

GH N-C materials with tunable nitrogen configuration were synthesized by a two-step method base on graphene hydrogel. Benefiting from the 3D hydrogel structure, rich defects and optimized chemical properties, GH N-C-900 prepared by NH3 pyrolysis at 900 °C exhibits an excellent electrocatalytic performance toward ORR, with the onset potential of 0.947 ± 0.013 V versus RHE, half-wave potential of 0.830 ± 0.010 V versus RHE, electron transfer number of 3.61-3.99, along as methanol tolerance and superior long-term stability. Comprehensive studies have shown that there is a positive correlation between the total amount of pyrrolic-N and quaternary-N and the catalytic performance of ORR.The aim of this study was to detect the postmortem serum total IgE levels in frozen corpses and identify whether the death incident caused by an anaphylaxis in forensic medicine. Autopsy cases with pathological death (total, n = 106; 4-214 h postmortem) include cardiac disease (n = 15), pulmonary infection (n = 12), central nervous system disorder (n = 6), pulmonary emboliszn (n = 7), hapetic disease (n = 5), kidney disease (n = 6), enteric disease (n = 10), necrotizing pancreatitis (n = 7), diffuse peritonitis (n = 6), MODS (n = 6), toxicosis (n = 5), anaphylactic shock (n = 7), bronchial asthma (n = 8) and other disease (n = 6) were examined. Results showed that there was no significant difference between serum IgE levels and ages, postmortem intervals (PMIs), gender as well as survival time. Serum IgE levels of deaths due to anaphylactic shock and bronchial asthma were higher than that of other groups. Forensic pathology examination results showed the main pathology changes of bronchial asthma were mucous congestion in bronchial lumen and eosinophils infiltration in bronchial mucosa. The main pathological features of anaphylactic shock were laryngeal edema and eosinophils infiltration in multiple organs (lung and spleen). This research proved that there was a great significance for IgE to infer whether the individual died due to an anaphylaxis even for a long PMI in frozen corpses. Furthermore, we can also preliminarily determine the type of allergic death combined with the examination of forensic pathology. These findings further verify the feasibility of postmortem serum IgE in the diagnosis of forensic causes of death and broaden the application scope of this marker.The present paper is a case-based review on rare complications of illegal abortion, i.e., necrotizing fasciitis missed early by the treating gynecologists which landed up into a negligence tort against the physicians. The common complications of the abortion like incomplete abortion, haemorrhage, sepsis, etc. are usually handled successfully by the gynecologists; however, early detection often missed when a rare complication like necrotising fasciitis occurs. Eventually leading to litigations in case of death of the patient. The newer techniques have reduced the complications in medically terminated pregnancies (MTP); however, the deaths due to illegal abortions carried out by the clandestine abortion practitioners (CAP) poses a challenge, especially in rural areas. A 30-year-old woman went for an illegal abortion from a CAP to avoid social stigma. She developed sepsis & necrotising fasciitis (NF) of right lower limb due to intra-vaginal use of abortifacient herbs prescribed by the CAP. She was succumbed to the complications of necrotising fasciitis allegedly due to delayed diagnosis by the gynecologists. This led to a negligence tort filed by her family members against the treating gynecologists. The prudent medicolegal and medical steps are discussed here, that could have prevented such sequel.

Intermittent systemic anti-cancer therapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (aCRC) may improve quality of life without compromising overall survival (OS). We aimed to use individual patient data meta-analysis (IPDMA) from multiple randomised controlled trials evaluating intermittent strategies to inform clinical practice. We also aimed to validate whether thrombocytosis as a predictive biomarker identified patients with significantly reduced OS receiving a complete treatment break.

An IPDMA of intermittent strategy impact on survival was undertaken, including all relevant trials in which data were available. Doxorubicin ic50 Intermittent strategies were classified into two groups a planned stopping of all therapy ("treatment break strategy"; 6 trials; 2,907 patients) or to the same treatment omitting oxaliplatin ("maintenance strategy"; 3 trials; 1,271 patients). The primary analysis sample was of patients successfully completing induction therapy. Additionally, a pre-planned analysis of the predictive value of eline platelet count and does not result in inferior OS compared to continuous chemotherapy.

The highest levels of evidence from this IPDMA indicate no detriment in survival for patients receiving an intermittent therapy strategy, either for maintenance or complete break strategies. Although, thrombocytosis is confirmed as a marker of poor prognosis, it is not predictive of poor outcome for patients treated with intermittent therapy. An intermittent chemotherapy strategy can therefore be applied irrespective of baseline platelet count and does not result in inferior OS compared to continuous chemotherapy.The 7Li (p,p'γ)7Li reaction cross section and photon yield from a thick lithium target at proton energies from 0.7 to 1.85 MeV have been measured with a HPGe gamma-ray spectrometer. The spectrometer is calibrated on total and relative sensitivity by reference radionuclide sources of photon radiation. The measurement results are compared with those presented in the EXFOR nuclear reaction database and with other data published in open sources. The reliability of the results of previous studies is analyzed.Anaerobic digesters have been widely used to treat wastewaters in livestock farms. With the increasing risk of antibiotic resistance originated from livestock husbandry, removal of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via anaerobic digesters deserved more attention. Here we investigated the removal of antibiotics and ARGs in swine wastewater by three on-farm full-scale anaerobic digesters, including buried biogas digester (BBD), up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and high density polyethylene covered biogas digester (HDPE-BD). Variations of antibiotic resistome in swine wastewater were further revealed by metagenomic sequencing. Results showed the removal efficiencies for antibiotics, ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) varied in the three digesters, ranging from 65.1% to 98.1%, 3.5%-71.0% and 26.9%-77.2%, respectively. In general, UASB and HDPE-BD showed better removal efficiencies than BBD. However, enrichment of metal resistance genes (MRGs) was noted in UASB. Pathogens could not be effectively removed by all of the three digesters.
