+ and Br− ions are linked into a zigzag chain along the b axis by C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, and weak C—H⋯π interactions involving the benzene ring of a screw-related cation
1-[Bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1(6),2,4-trien-3-yl]-3-[bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1(6),2,4-trien-3-ylmethyl]imidazolium hexafluorophosphate

−, the two benzocyclobutene units are essentially planar and they form dihedral angles of 38.0 (2) and 72.7 (2)°, with the central imidazolium ring. In the crystal structure, weak C—H⋯π and π-–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.742 (2) Å] contribute to the stability of the crystal structure. The PF6
− ion is disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.869 (9) and 0.131 (9)
Genetic Variations rs859, rs4646, and rs372883 in the 3′-Untranslated Regions of Genes Are Associated with a Risk of IgA Nephropathy
Background: Previous studies indicate that genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). To evaluate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of genes and IgAN risk, we performed a case-control study in a Chinese Han population. Materials: Twelve SNPs were selected and genotyped in 384 IgAN patients and 357 healthy controls. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by logistic regression adjusted for age and gender. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to analyze the interaction of SNP-SNP with IgAN risk. Results: Our study demonstrated that IL-16 rs859 (OR = 0.75, p = 0.040) and CYP19A1 rs4646 (OR = 2.58, p = 0.017) polymorphism were related to the risk of IgAN. In stratified analyses by gender, CYP19A1 rs4646 (OR = 2.96, p = 0.015) and BACH1 rs372883 (OR = 1.81, p = 0.038) polymorphisms conferred susceptibility to IgAN in males. Besides, rs372883 reduced IgAN risk in females (OR = 0.44, p = 0.042). We also found rs859 polymorphism was correlated with grade I-II (OR = 0.42, p = 0.028) in subgroup analysis of Lee’s classification. Additionally, we found rs4646 polymorphism was correlated with serum creatinine (p = 0.035). Conclusion: Our results suggested that the IL-16 rs859, CYP19A1 rs4646, and BACH1 rs372883 polymorphisms have potential roles in the genetic susceptibility to IgAN in Chinese Han population

Opinions and clinical practice of functional movement disorders: a nationwide survey of clinicians in China.
BACKGROUND: There is rare reports about opinions and clinical practice of functional movement disorders (FMD) in China. The present survey aimed to investigate the views of FMD in Chinese clinicians. METHODS: The Chinese version survey of FMD were conducted in nationwide practitioners by means of an online questionnaire. RESULTS: Four hundred and thirty-four Chinese clinicians completed a 21-item questionnaire probing diagnostic and management issues in FMD. More than 80% of respondents considered that atypical movement disorder, multiple somatizations, and emotional disturbance were essential or absolutely necessary for clinically definite diagnosis of FMD. About three quarters of respondents requested standard neurological investigations to rule out organic causes. Over half believed that prior diagnosis of an organic disorder (59.9%), lack of associated non-physiologic deficits (51.8%), and evidence of physical injury (50.0%) were 'very influential' or 'extremely influential' for a non-FMD diagnosis. The majority (77.4%) of the respondents may refer patients to a neuropsychiatrist or psychiatrist experienced in FMD, followed by psychologist or psychotherapist experienced in FMD (53.2%). However, lack of guidelines, physician knowledge, and training often limited clinicians' ability in managing patients with FMD. Early diagnosis of FMD, identification and management of concurrent psychiatric disorder, and acceptance of the diagnosis by the patient were considered most important for predicting a favorable prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Opinions and clinical practice of Chinese practitioners not only varied among Chinese neurologists, but also differed from international peers. Combined efforts are needed to promote related research and establish practice guidelines in China in the future
Proton-Boron Fusion Yield Increased by Orders of Magnitude with Foam Targets
A novel intense beam-driven scheme for high yield of the tri-alpha reaction
11B(p,{\alpha})2{\alpha} was investigated. We used a foam target made of
cellulose triacetate (TAC, C_9H_{16}O_8) doped with boron. It was then heated
volumetrically by soft X-ray radiation from a laser heated hohlraum and turned
into a homogenous, and long living plasma. We employed a picosecond laser pulse
to generate a high-intensity energetic proton beam via the well-known Target
Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) mechanism. We observed up to 10^{10}/sr
{\alpha} particles per laser shot. This constitutes presently the highest yield
value normalized to the laser energy on target. The measured fusion yield per
proton exceeds the classical expectation of beam-target reactions by up to four
orders of magnitude under high proton intensities. This enhancement is
attributed to the strong electric fields and nonequilibrium thermonuclear
fusion reactions as a result of the new method. Our approach shows
opportunities to pursue ignition of aneutronic fusion

电子邮件地址: [email protected]; [email protected] paper reports the facile synthesis of a unique interleaved expanded graphite-embedded sulphur nanocomposite (S-EG) by melt-diffusion strategy. The SEM images of the S-EG materials indicate the nanocomposites consist of nanosheets with a layer-by-layer structure. Electrochemical tests reveal that the nanocomposite with a sulphur content of 60% (0.6S-EG) can deliver the highest discharge capacity of 1210.4 mAh g(-1) at a charge-discharge rate of 280 mA g(-1) in the first cycle, the discharge capacity of the 0.6S-EG remains as high as 957.9 mAh g(-1) after 50 cycles of charge-discharge. Furthermore, at a much higher charge-discharge rate of 28 A g(-1), the 0.6S-EG cathode can still deliver a high reversible capacity of 337.5 mAh g(-1). The high sulphur utilization, excellent rate capability and reduced over-discharge phenomenon of the 0.6S-EG material are exclusively attributed to the particular microstructure and composition of the cathode.NSFC 2093110426
