Planning for Offshore Integrated Energy Islands with Electricity-Carbon-Hydrogen-Methanol Synergy by Chuanbo XU, Peiyao LI, Wenzuo ZHANG, Qingwei LI, Yan WEI

“…[Result] The results show that: (1) For a typical 700 MW off-grid floating offshore wind farm, the integrated energy island requires a 235 MW/470 MWh electrochemical energy storage, 44 tons of hydrogen storage tanks, and a 264 MW PEM electrolysis to stabilize opera-tion of methanol synthesis system; (2) The current green methanol production cost is 12.36 CNY/kg, exceeding the market price of 5.95 CNY/kg; (3) The integrated energy island achieves an annual green methanol production of 221.6 kilotons, sufficient to power large methanol-fueled container ships for 800000 nautical miles while reducing CO2 emissions by 980 kilotons annually. …”

Warming Yang,Promoting Blood Circulation and Inducing Diuresis in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy:a meta-analysis by WANG Lan, WANG Xiao-qin

“…Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ’Warming Yang,Promoting Blood Circulation and Inducing Diuresis’ in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods The used electronic databases contained foreign databases such as PubMed,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,and Chinese databases such as CNKI,SinoMed,Wanfang Data,CQVIP.The clinical data of "Warming Yang,Promoting Blood Circulation and Inducing Diuresis" in treatment of DN were collected comprehensively.The literature retrieval ended on April 1,2016,and the meta analysis of appropriate literature was processed by RevMan 5.3 software.Results The cases of randomized controlled trials totaled16 and the cases of DN patients totaled 1 107.The results of Meta analysis showed that compared to western medicine control group,the experimental group of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine,based on "Warming Yang and Benefiting Qi,Promoting Blood Circulation and Inducing Diuresis",perfonned better in the significant efficiency and total efficiency of the treatment of DN(RR=1.97,95%CI 1.50~2.59,Z = 4.86,P<0.01;RR=1.48,95%CI 1.35~1.62,Z=8.58,P<0.01),in the decrease of the serum creatinine(MD=-32.33,95%CI-58.20~-6.47,Z =2.45,P= 0.01),in the increase of high density lipoprotein(MD= 0.16,95%CI 0.09~0.23,Z =4.33,P<0.01),in the decrease of cholesterol,triglyceride,low density lipoprotein(MD=-0.82,95%CI 1.28~-0.36,Z = 3.49,P = 0.0005;MD=-0.40,95%CI-0.53~-0.26,Z=5.95,P<0.01;MD=-0.49,95%CI-0.76~-0.21,Z=3.46,P = 0.000 5),in the decrease of urinary protein(MD=-0.46,95%I-0.61~-0.31,Z=6.01,P<0.01),in the control of fasting blood glucose(MD=-0.34,95%CI-0.57~-0.12,Z = 3.00,P = 0.003),and performed the same in the decrease of the levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha(P= 0.33).Conclusions The current limited evidence suggests that the efficacy and safety of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the treatment of DN is better than the traditional protocols alone.…”

Avoiding laser therapy for tattoos exhibiting allergic reactions: Risks and clinical considerations by Nicole Werpachowski, BS, Kelly Frasier, DO, MS, Arielle Radparvar, BS, Andrew Pugliese, MSc, Alyssa Forsyth, BS, Rachel Marciano, MS

“…This review explores clinical and immunological reasons why laser therapy should be avoided in tattoos manifesting allergic reactions, focusing on the exacerbation of symptoms, potential systemic hypersensitivity, and increased risk of severe adverse effects. Tattoo inks, particularly those containing red pigments, are known to induce delayed hypersensitivity reactions, driven by the body’s immune response to the injected foreign substances. …”
