Dickkopf-1 Is a Biomarker for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Active Lupus Nephritis by Jing Xue, Jiali Yang, Lijuan Yang, Shaolan Zhou, Chen Ji, Xuemei Wang, Nan Yu, Xiaoming Liu, Shuhong Chi

“…Intriguingly, concentrations of above examined proteins in SLE patients showed no correlation between serum and urine. Moreover, a combination of DKK-1 with anti-dsDNA and/or levels of complement C3 and C4 could not increase the specificity and/or sensitivity for identification of patients with LN diseases, but both ROC curve and multiple-factor nonconditional logistic regression analysis showed that serum DKK-1 was considered better positive biomarker for identification of LN in SLE patients. …”

Triplet-ground-state nonalternant nanographene with high stability and long spin lifetimes by Weixiang Zhou, Yiyang Fei, Yu-Shuang Zhang, Xiaohe Miao, Shang-Da Jiang, Junzhi Liu

“…Here, we report a straightforward synthetic and isolation method for synthesizing a nonalternant nanographene (1) with a triplet ground state. Moving beyond the classic m-xylylene scaffold for high-spin organic molecules, seven-five-seven (7–5–7)-membered rings are introduced to create stable high-spin diradicals with half-lives (t 1/2) as long as 101 days. …”

Existence of Pentatrichomonas hominis in Tibetan Antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) by Shuo Liu, Shuo Liu, Jing-Hao Li, Si-Yuan Qin, Jing Jiang, Zhen-Jun Wang, Tao Ma, Jun-Hui Zhu, Hong-Li Geng, Wei-Lan Yan, Nian-Yu Xue, Yan Tang, He-Ting Sun

“…IntroductionPentatrichomonas hominis is a conditional pathogen that parasitizes the intestines of vertebrates and has been detected in various wild animals. However, its infection rate in Tibetan antelopes has not been previously studied.MethodsIn this study, 503 fecal samples from Tibetan antelopes were analyzed to determine the prevalence and molecular characteristics of P. hominis.ResultsResults showed that 1.19% (6/503) of the samples tested positive, and although the prevalence was low, this finding underscores the importance of monitoring wild animals population as hosts of zoonotic pathogens. …”

Effective Passivation of Large Area Black Silicon Solar Cells by SiO2/SiNx:H Stacks by Zengchao Zhao, Bingye Zhang, Ping Li, Wan Guo, Aimin Liu

“…The investigation of internal quantum efficiency (IQE) suggests that the SiO2/SiNx:H stacks films decrease the Auger recombination through reducing the surface doping concentration and surface state density of the Si/SiO2 interface, and SiNx:H layer suppresses the Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination in the black silicon solar cell, which yields the best electrical performance of b-Si solar cells.…”
