Electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose on carbon nanotube/nanocrystalline TiO2 film loaded Pt complex electrode

Electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose on carbon nanotube/nanocrystalline TiO2 film loaded Pt (CNT/nanoTiO(2)/Pt) complex electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry. The results indicated that CNT/nano-TiO2/Pt complex electrode has high catalytic activity to the electrochemical oxidation of glucose in alkaline media, and the peak current density of oxidation of glucose is up to 13 mA/cm(2), which is one time higher than that on a platinum electrode. The complex electrode performance is stable, and it is strong resistant to poisoning and difficult to oxidize oscillatory. It is a highly catalytic electrode for using in glucose fuel cell and glucose sensor

Electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol on Pt/nanoTiO(2)-CNT complex catalysts

Pt/nanoTiO(2)-CNT complex catalysts were prepared by direct hydrolysis of Ti(OEt)(4) and electrochemical scan electrodepositing method. The results of XRD and SEM showed that the nanoTiO(2) (anatase) and Pt nanoparticles (size about 5 similar to 10 nm) were dispersed uniformly on CNT film surface. The electrocatalytic activity of Pt/nanoTiO(2)-CNT electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiogram. The results indicated that Pt/nanoTiO(2)- CNT electrode (Pt loading was 0.32 mg . cm(-2)) exhibited high electrochemical activity surface area (51.8 m2. g(-1)) and very high electrocatalytic activity and stability for the electro-oxidation of ethanol at room temperature in atmosphere pressure. The oxidation peak potentials of ethanol were 0.59, 0.96, and 0.24 V, and the corresponding oxidation peak current sdensities were - 115, -113, and -75 mA . cm(-2). The high electrocatalytic activity and good stability can be attributed to the synergistic catalytic effect among nanocomposite

An Update on Anti-CD137 Antibodies in Immunotherapies for Cancer

The selective expression of CD137 on cells of the immune system (e.g., T and DC cells) and oncogenic cells in several types of cancer leads this molecule to be an attractive target to discover cancer immunotherapy. Therefore, specific antibodies against CD137 are being studied and developed aiming to activate and enhance anti-cancer immune responses as well as suppress oncogenic cells. Accumulating evidence suggests that anti-CD137 antibodies can be used separately to prevent tumor in some cases, while in other cases, these antibodies need to be co-administered with other antibodies or drugs/vaccines/regents for a better performance. Thus, in this work, we aim to update and discuss current knowledge about anti-cancer effects of anti-CD137 antibodies as mono- and combined-immunotherapies

The global burden of cancer attributable to risk factors, 2010-19 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Background Understanding the magnitude of cancer burden attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors is crucial for development of effective prevention and mitigation strategies. We analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 to inform cancer control planning efforts globally. Methods The GBD 2019 comparative risk assessment framework was used to estimate cancer burden attributable to behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risk factors. A total of 82 risk-outcome pairs were included on the basis of the World Cancer Research Fund criteria. Estimated cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in 2019 and change in these measures between 2010 and 2019 are presented. Findings Globally, in 2019, the risk factors included in this analysis accounted for 4.45 million (95% uncertainty interval 4.01-4.94) deaths and 105 million (95.0-116) DALYs for both sexes combined, representing 44.4% (41.3-48.4) of all cancer deaths and 42.0% (39.1-45.6) of all DALYs. There were 2.88 million (2.60-3.18) risk-attributable cancer deaths in males (50.6% [47.8-54.1] of all male cancer deaths) and 1.58 million (1.36-1.84) risk-attributable cancer deaths in females (36.3% [32.5-41.3] of all female cancer deaths). The leading risk factors at the most detailed level globally for risk-attributable cancer deaths and DALYs in 2019 for both sexes combined were smoking, followed by alcohol use and high BMI. Risk-attributable cancer burden varied by world region and Socio-demographic Index (SDI), with smoking, unsafe sex, and alcohol use being the three leading risk factors for risk-attributable cancer DALYs in low SDI locations in 2019, whereas DALYs in high SDI locations mirrored the top three global risk factor rankings. From 2010 to 2019, global risk-attributable cancer deaths increased by 20.4% (12.6-28.4) and DALYs by 16.8% (8.8-25.0), with the greatest percentage increase in metabolic risks (34.7% [27.9-42.8] and 33.3% [25.8-42.0]). Interpretation The leading risk factors contributing to global cancer burden in 2019 were behavioural, whereas metabolic risk factors saw the largest increases between 2010 and 2019. Reducing exposure to these modifiable risk factors would decrease cancer mortality and DALY rates worldwide, and policies should be tailored appropriately to local cancer risk factor burden.

Heterogeneous electrocatalytic reduction of p-nitrobenzoic acid on nanocrystalline TiO2 film modified electrode

Redox behavior and electrocatalytic activities of the Ti/nano-TiO2 electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and bulk electrolysis. The results indicate that there are two pairs of well-defined redox peaks for Ti/nano-TiO2 film electrode in the 1 mol/L H2SO4 and 1 mol/L NaOH at 0.1 V/s corresponding to TiO2/Ti2O3 and T2O3/Ti(OH)(3) reversible electrode process. In 1 mol/L NaOH medium the peak potential evidently shift to the negative value with E-1/2 being -1.38 and -1.72 V (vs. SCE), and the heterogeneous electrocatalytic reduction activities of TiO2/Ti2O3 redox for p-nitrobenzoic acid (PNA) is very high. The indirect electroreduction of PNA to p-aminobenzoic acid (PAA) by Ti-N/Ti-N redox system on nanocrystalline TiO2 film surface was found, and the electrode reaction mechanism is called electrocatalytic(EC) mechanism. In the preparative electrolysis, the current efficiency was over 90%
