Neurogenic inflammation.
<p>A. SBF changes caused by 10 Hz CES. An increase of SBF occurred 10 min after CES. Thereafter it declined. No difference was found between the two sessions. B. ST changes caused by 10 Hz CES. ST was found to be declined along the observation period when this decline was temporarily stopped 10 min and 20 min into the postconditioning period. No difference was found between sessions.</p
Homotopic effect of 10 Hz CES on pain perception.
<p>A. Pain intensity evoked by SES. No changes were found after 10 Hz CES for the perception intensity of SES. No differences were found between the two sessions. B. HPT assessment. The HPT increased after 10 Hz CES (10 min and 20 min in the post conditioning period) then gradually returned to the baseline. The HPT in session one was higher than in session two.</p
Pain experience induced by CES.
<p>A. Temporal changes during the conditioning process. The highest pain rating in each 10 s was chosen to compare the two sessions. The pain intensities declined in both sessions. B. Depiction of SF-MPQ scores for CES. The SF-MPQ scores and PPI were not found significantly different between the two sessions. PPI: present pain intensity; S: sensory; A: affective; E: evaluative overall intensity of total pain experience.</p
Experimental setup.
<p>(A) 10 Hz conditioning electrical stimulation was applied at the volar forearm 7 cm distal to the cubital fossa via a circular array of pin electrodes in two sessions. The single electrical stimulation was applied at the conditioned site by the same pin electrodes and the light stroking and pinprick stimuli were applied in the surrounding skin area. (B) Test stimulation series including SBF, ST, pain perception rating to pinprick and light-stroking stimuli, HPT and pain perception rating to SES was assessed with 10 min intervals three times before (pre-conditioning period) and six times after the CES (post-conditioning period). SBF: superficial blood flow; ST: skin temperature; HPT: heat pain threshold; SES: single electrical stimulation.</p
Bland-Altman plots for the effects after 10 Hz CES.
<p>Assessments were performed on the SBF, homotopic pain perception to SES, and heterotopic pain perception to light-stroking and pinprick stimulation (294 mN). The dashed line indicates the bias between sessions, whereas the dotted lines indicate the limits of agreement calculated as ±1.96×the standard deviation (SD) of the differences between measurements for the two sessions. Shaded areas indicate the confidence intervals of mean difference and limits of agreement.</p
New Insights into Electrochemical Lithiation/Delithiation Mechanism of α‑MoO<sub>3</sub> Nanobelt by in Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy
The α-MoO<sub>3</sub> nanobelt
has great potential for application as anode of lithium ion batteries
(LIBs) because of its high capacity and unique one-dimensional layer
structure. However, its fundmental electrochemical failure mechanism
during first lithiation/delithiation process is still unclear. Here,
we constructed an electrochemical setup within α-MoO<sub>3</sub> nanobelt anode inside a transmission electron microscope to observe
in situ the mircostructure evolution during cycles. Upon first lithiation,
the α-MoO<sub>3</sub> nanobelt converted into numerous Mo nanograins
within the Li<sub>2</sub>O matrix, with an obvious size expansion.
Interestingly, α-MoO<sub>3</sub> nanobelt was found to undergo
a two-stage delithiation process. Mo nanograins were first transformed
into crystalline Li<sub>1.66</sub>Mo<sub>0.66</sub>O<sub>2</sub> along
with the disappearance of Li<sub>2</sub>O and size shrink, followed
by the conversion to amorphous Li<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>3</sub>. This
irreversible phase conversion should be responsible for the large
capacity loss in first cycle. In addition, a fully reversile phase
conversion between crystalline Mo and amorphous Li<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>3</sub> was revealed accompanying the formation and disapperance
of the Li<sub>2</sub>O layer during the subsequent cycles. Our experiments
provide direct evidence to deeply understand the distinctive electrochemical
lithiation/delithiation behaviors of α-MoO<sub>3</sub> nanobelt,
shedding light onto the development of α-MoO<sub>3</sub> anode
for LIBs
Visible-Light Self-Powered Photodetector and Recoverable Photocatalyst Fabricated from Vertically Aligned Sn<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Nanoflakes on Carbon Paper
Self-powered
photodetectors (SPPDs) are promising candidates for
high-sensitivity and high-speed applications because they do not require
batteries as an external power source. It is a challenge to fabricate
visible-light photodetectors. Herein, vertically aligned two-dimensional
(2D) Sn<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoflakes on carbon fiber paper
were prepared by a modified hydrothermal approach and used as a self-powered
photoelectrochemical cell-type visible-light detector. The detector
exhibits reproducible and flexible properties as well as an enhanced
photosensitive performance. The improved photoresponse was attributed
to the synergistic effects of the vertically grown Sn<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoflakes and carbon fiber paper substrate; the former provided
efficient active sites, as it exposed more catalytic sites to the
electrolyte and absorbed more light scattered among the nanoflakes,
and the latter benefited charge transport. The photocatalytic activity
of the three-dimensional (3D) Sn<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> hierarchal
structure on rhodamine B under visible-light irradiation was investigated
and shown to have a degradation rate constant of 3.2 × 10<sup>–2</sup> min<sup>–1</sup>. The advantage over ordinal
materials for use in an SPPD device is that this material is flexible
and easily recoverable as a photocatalyst
Nanoplate-Built ZnO Hollow Microspheres Decorated with Gold Nanoparticles and Their Enhanced Photocatalytic and Gas-Sensing Properties
Hierarchical porous ZnO microspheres
decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were successfully synthesized
by a facile solvothermal route. The hierarchical ZnO superstructure
was constructed of interconnected nanoplates with numerous voids.
Photoluminescence, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron
paramagnetic resonance measurements demonstrated that the main defects
were oxygen vacancies (<i>V</i><sub>O</sub><sup>•</sup>) with minor interstitial oxygen (O<sub>i</sub><sup>–</sup>) in the hierarchical ZnO hollow microspheres. The as-prepared hierarchical
ZnO hollow microspheres and the AuNPs used to decorate them were examined
for their photocatalytic degradation ability and as gas sensors. The
photodegradation results demonstrated that the degradation rate constant
on rhodamine B for undecorated ZnO microspheres was 0.43 min<sup>–1</sup>, which increased to 1.76 min<sup>–1</sup> for AuNP-decorated
ZnO microspheres. The AuNP-functionalized ZnO microspheres displayed
superior sensing properties, with a 3-fold enhancement in their gas
response to 1 ppb of dibutyl phthalate
