Impact of Thermal Power Plant Waste Products on Corrosion Dynamics of Pipeline Carbon Steel Alloy in Soil Aqueous Solutions by Camila Porporatti Rosso, Eduardo Ceretta Moreira, Matheus Henrique Baesso, André Gündel, Alexandre Ferreira Galio

“…Adding desulfurization by-products to soil solutions (DBS) created a transpassive layer during potentiostatic polarization, with a passive current density of about 10μA.cm-2. EIS measurements showed a substantial increase in polarization resistance, with the DBS exhibiting nearly 700 times higher resistance than the standard soil solution (SSS) at 0V (OCP). …”

Shifting of Distribution and Changing of Antibiotic Resistance in Gram-Positive Bacteria from Bile of Patients with Acute Cholangitis by Hao Y, Li L, Du W, Lu J

“…Yuqi Hao,1 Lianxin Li,2 Wenting Du,1 Jinshuai Lu1 1Department of General Internal Medicine, People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People’s Republic of China; 2Endoscopy Center, People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Jinshuai Lu, Department of General Internal Medicine, People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People’s Republic of China, Email lujinshuai@xjrmyy.comBackground: Gram-negative bacteria are the predominant pathogens responsible for biliary infections; however, the prevalence of Gram-positive bacteria is currently increasing. Investigating the bacterial spectrum and evolving antibiotic resistance patterns of Gram-positive bacteria is crucial for optimizing the management of acute cholangitis, particularly in the context of the global rise in antibiotic resistance.Methods: This retrospective analysis focused on Gram-positive bacteria isolated from the bile of patients undergoing biliary drainage with acute cholangitis at our hospital from January 1, 2018, to March 31, 2024. …”

Cost-effectiveness of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib as first-line therapy in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in the US and Chinese setting: a modelling compa... by Lei Wang, Lulu Liu, Yiling Ding, Qilin Zhang, Yamin Shu

“…In scenario analyses, the atezolizumab plus bevacizumab treatment becomes favourable when the cost of atezolizumab decreases to 67.85% and 18.45% of its original price in the USA and China, respectively.Conclusions The atezolizumab plus bevacizumab is unlikely to be cost-effective compared with sorafenib for patients with unresectable HCC in the context of the USA and China. …”

From Imbalance to Synergy: The Coupling Coordination of Digital Inclusive Finance and Urban Ecological Resilience in the Yangtze River Economic Belt by Xi Chen, Xuan Huang, Tonghui Yu, Yu Zhang, Xufeng Cui

“…The results show that (1) The CCD between DIF and UER in the YREB has increased annually from 2011 to 2020. However, there are persistent imbalances, with an overall low level of coordination and uneven spatial development, and a trend of “higher coordination in the east and lower coordination in the west”. (2) The overall CCD of the YREB has reached at least the primary coordination level, with the coupling enhancement speed ranked as “downstream > midstream > upstream”, and regional differences decreasing. (3) The decoupling analysis reveals a predominant decoupling trend between DIF and UER, indicating that the digitization of financial services has not concurrently increased ecological pressures. (4) The obstacle degree analysis identifies resilience and digitalization as major barriers hindering CCD. …”
