To improve the NO-CO low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitration rate, finding new effective denitration catalysts has become the focus of the denitration field. A vanadium-substituted molecular sieve AM-6 was synthesized by hydrothermal method, the performance of AM-6 molecular sieve was improved by surfactant-assisted synthesis. The effect of different amounts of CTAB on the morphology, composition and the catalytic reduction performance was studied. These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the addition of CTAB does not introduce other impurity elements. When the ratio of CTAB to V is 1:4, AM-6(1/4CTAB) has more regular surface morphology, better crystalline formability, well-balanced ratio of V5+/V4+, and the denitrification activity reaches 81.54% at 150℃, which is reduced by 50℃ than the temperature at which the denitrification activity of AM-6 reaches 80%.

PurposeMethodsResultsConclusionsCurrent study aimed to understand the distribution and determinants of anterior chamber angle (ACA) and anterior chamber volume (ACV) in Chinese young adults, which can help fill current data gaps and aid in early detection and intervention for high-risk population of primary angle closure glaucoma.This cross-sectional study utilized data from 2014 participants who completed questionnaire and eye examination in September 2021. ACV and ACA were measured using a Pentacam tomographer. Spherical equivalent (SE) was evaluated by autorefractor without cycloplegia. Central corneal thickness (CCT) and biomechanically corrected intraocular pressure (bIOP) were evaluated using Corvis-ST. Axial length (AL), corneal radius (CR), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and white to white were assessed using the IOL Master.A total of 1635 students were included in the analysis. The mean ACV and AVA were 194.74 ± 32.30 μL and 38.81 ± 4.84°, respectively. Males have a larger ACV and wider ACA than females. ACV was positively correlated with ACA (r = 0.24, p < 0.001), and the correlation was stronger for non-myopic students than for myopic students. Multivariable linear regression model showed that AL (β = 2.41), CR (β = –4.12), CCT (β = –0.11), ACD (β = 97.93), and bIOP (β = 0.40) were associated with ACV, and CCT (β = –0.01), CR (β = 0.38), and ACD (β = 7.41) were associated with ACA (all p < 0.05). Random forest model indicated that ACD was the most critical predictor of both ACV and ACA.This study reported the distribution and determinants of ACA and ACV. Deeper ACD was associated with larger ACV and wider ACA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Java thread mechanisms, such as Thread and Executor, are different in the thread management pattern, code and the performance. To implement the automated refactoring between different thread mechanism and help programmers to choose the right thread mechanism, an automated refactoring method was proposed for Java thread mechanism able refactoring between Thread and Executor. To test the validity of the method, an automated refactoring tool named Rethreader was developed in Eclipse JDT. In the experimentation, several programs in the Java Grande Form (JGF) were tested, including Series, Crypt, Lufact, Sparsematmult and montecarlo. The experimental results show that the Rethreader can successfully implement the automatic refactoring from Thread to Executor within 1 s. INSET: 1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Dermoscopy is a useful technique for improving the diagnostic accuracy of various types of skin disorders. In China, dermoscopy has been widely accepted, and domestic researchers have made tremendous progress in the field of dermoscopy. The main purpose of this review is to summarize the current status of dermoscopy in China and identify its future directions., Data Sources: Articles included in this review were obtained by searching the following databases: Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, and the Web of Science. We focused on research published before 2019 with keywords including dermoscopy, dermoscopic, dermoscope and trichoscopy., Study Selection: A total of 50 studies were selected. Of these studies, 20 studies were in Chinese and 30 in English, research samples of all the studies were collected from Chinese populations., Results: Since 2000, more than 380 articles about dermoscopy have been published in domestic or foreign journals. Dermoscopy can improve the diagnostic accuracy of neoplastic diseases, evaluating the therapeutic effect of treatment, and determining the treatment endpoint, and it can also assist in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory diseases and in the assessment of the severity of the disease. In addition, researches about the applications of dermoscopy during surgical treatment have been published. Training courses aiming to improve the diagnostic ability of dermatologists, either face-to-face or online, have been offered. The Chinese Skin Image Database, launched in 2017 as a work platform for dermatologists, has promoted the development of dermoscopy in China. Computer-aided diagnostic systems based on the Chinese population are ready for use. In the future, cooperation, resource sharing, talent development, image management, and computer-aided diagnosis will be important directions for the development of dermoscopy in China., Conclusion: Dermoscopy has been widely used and developed in China, however, it still needs to address more challenges in the future.

Aim: To build a clinical diagnostic model of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) using the normal probability chart of frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT)., Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Total 133 eyes from 133 healthy subjects and 99 eyes from 99 early POAG patients were included in the study. The retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness parameters of optic nerve head (ONH) and RNFL3.45 scan were measured in one randomly selected eye of each subject using RTVue-100 FD-OCT. Then, we used these parameters to establish the diagnostic models. Four different diagnostic models based on two different area partition strategies on ONH and RNFL3.45 parameters, including ONH traditional area partition model (ONH-T), ONH new area partition model (ONH-N), RNFL3.45 traditional area partition model (RNFL3.45-T) and RNFL3.45 new area partition model (RNFL3.45-N), were built and tested by cross-validation., Results: The new area partition models had higher area under the receiver operating characteristic (AROC; ONH-N: 0.990; RNFL3.45-N: 0.939) than corresponding traditional area partition models (ONH-T: 0.979; RNFL3.45-T: 0.881). There was no statistical difference among AROC of ONH-T, ONH-N, and RNFL3.45-N. Nevertheless, ONH-N was the simplest model., Conclusion: The new area partition models had higher diagnostic accuracy than corresponding traditional area partition models, which can improve the diagnostic ability of early POAG. In particular, the simplest ONH-N diagnostic model may be convenient for clinical application.

The study aims to develop a rapid, specific and sensitive method for quantitative analysis of trace impurities in levofloxacin formulation using LC-MS/MS. The quality of the different formulations from 19 plants was evaluated in the contents of the impurities. The results indicated that there were 5 impurities in the samples, and the content was different in the products with same formulation by different plants. The products of 3 plants were in good quality with impurities level under 0.01%. Levofloxacin N(4’)-methyl quaternary impurity was first reported as the formulation impurity. The impurities were tightly correlated to the reservation of drug, process control of formulation and storage during transportation. The results suggest that our method is sensitive and specific to detect the trace impurities in formulation, and can be used to monitor the quality of commercial drug product.
