Serum levels of IL-8 (a), IL-10 (b), and IL-18 (c) relationship with CRP.

<p>Significant relationships were found between IL-8 levels and CRP levels, as well as between IL-18 levels and CRP levels, although no significant relationship was found between IL-10 and CRP levels.</p

IL-8 (a), IL-10 (b) and IL-18 (c) levels in non-asthmatic patients with severe <i>M</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> pneumonia (group 1) and mild <i>M</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> pneumonia (group 2), and in asthmatic patients with <i>M</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> pneumonia (group 3).

<p>Serum IL-10 and IL-18 levels were significantly higher in patients infected by <i>M</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> without asthma than those in group 3. However, IL-8 levels were not significantly different. Serum IL-10 levels were significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2, while IL-18 levels were significantly higher in group 1; IL-8 levels were not significantly different.</p

Table_1_Porous Hollow Superlattice NiMn2O4/NiCo2O4 Mesocrystals as a Highly Reversible Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries.docx

<p>As a promising high-capacity anode material for Li-ion batteries, NiMn₂O₄ always suffers from the poor intrinsic conductivity and the architectural collapse originating from the volume expansion during cycle. Herein, a combined structure and architecture modulation is proposed to tackle concurrently the two handicaps, via a facile and well-controlled solvothermal approach to synthesize NiMn₂O₄/NiCo₂O₄ mesocrystals with superlattice structure and hollow multi-porous architecture. It is demonstrated that the obtained NiCo_1.5Mn_0.5O₄ sample is made up of a new mixed-phase NiMn₂O₄/NiCo₂O₄ compound system, with a high charge capacity of 532.2 mAh g⁻¹ with 90.4% capacity retention after 100 cycles at a current density of 1 A g⁻¹. The enhanced electrochemical performance can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the superlattice structure and the hollow multi-porous architecture of the NiMn₂O₄/NiCo₂O₄ compound. The superlattice structure can improve ionic conductivity to enhance charge transport kinetics of the bulk material, while the hollow multi-porous architecture can provide enough void spaces to alleviate the architectural change during cycling, and shorten the lithium ions diffusion and electron-transportation distances.</p

Monomer Symmetry-Regulated Defect Engineering: In Situ Preparation of Functionalized Covalent Organic Frameworks for Highly Efficient Capture and Separation of Carbon Dioxide

Developing crystalline porous materials with highly efficient CO2 selective adsorption capacity is one of the key challenges to carbon capture and storage (CCS). In current studies, much more attention has been paid to the crystalline and porous properties of crystalline porous materials for CCS, while the defects, which are unavoidable and ubiquitous, are relatively neglected. Herein, for the first time, we propose a monomer-symmetry regulation strategy for directional defect release to achieve in situ functionalization of COFs while exposing uniformly distributed defect-aldehyde groups as functionalization sites for selective CO2 capture. The regulated defective COFs possess high crystallinity, good structural stability, and a large number of organized and functionalized aldehyde sites, which exhibit one of the highest selective separation values of all COF sorbing materials in CO2/N2 selective adsorption (128.9 cm3/g at 273 K and 1 bar, selectivity: 45.8 from IAST). This work not only provides a new strategy for defect regulation and in situ functionalization of COFs but also provides a valuable approach in the design and preparation of new adsorbents for CO2 adsorption and CO2/N2 selective separation
