Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) materials have emerged as a promising alternative to meet the high-temperature energy storage requirements of concentrated solar power plants. However, most of the energy storage materials are facing challenges in redox kinetics and cyclic stability. Iron-doped manganese oxide attracts raising attention due to its non-toxicity, low cost, and high energy capacity over 800 °C. However, there are few investigations on the reversibility enhancement of the redox reaction from the microstructural-evolution-mechanism point of view. Herein, bixbyite-type (Mn0.8 Fe0.2 )2 O3 is synthesized and extruded into honeycomb units, which can maintain an 85% initial capacity after 100 redox cycles. It is also found that a self-assembled core-shell MnFe2 O4 @Mn2.7 Fe0.3 O4 structure forms during the reduction step, and then transforms into a homogeneous solid solution of (Mn0.8 Fe0.2 )2 O3 in the following oxidation step. During the reduction step, shells are formed spontaneously from the Mn2.7 Fe0.3 O4 with the MnFe2 O4 as cores due to the lower surface energy, which facilitates the oxygen adsorption and dissociation during subsequent oxidation step. Through the density functional theory calculation, it is revealed that the lower formation energy of oxygen vacancies in the shell contributes to the improvement of oxygen diffusion rate. This study can provide a guideline to design prospective materials for high-temperature TCES.<br /><br /> The incidence of end-stage organ disease in people living with HIV (PLWH) is increasing, as people live longer due to potent, tolerable antiretroviral therapy. Consequently, the number of PLWH who would benefit from solid organ transplant (SOT) is rising. Solid organ transplantation experience in PLWH in Australia remains limited. The aim of this study was to retrospectively review the outcomes for SOT in PLWH in Victoria, Australia.<br /><br /> A retrospective cohort study of PLWH undergoing SOT over a 15-year period was performed. Adult PLWH over 18 years of age were eligible and identified from the Victorian HIV Service database. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise baseline demographics and clinical data, and outcomes following SOT.<br /><br /> Nine virologically-suppressed PLWH underwent SOT from HIV-negative donors; 5 kidneys, 2 livers, and 2 bilateral sequential lung transplants. All patients were male, with a median age of 57.3 years (IQR 54.3-60.1), CD4 count of 485 (IQR 342-835) at transplantation, and comorbidities were common at baseline. After a median follow up of 3.9 years (IQR 2.7-7.6), 8 (89%) patents were alive, 7 (78%) had functioning grafts, though 5 (56%) experienced organ rejection. Infections were common. Two patients required modification to their antiretroviral therapy due to significant drug-drug interactions, prior to transplant, while 5 (56%) had modifications post-SOT. No patients experienced HIV virologic failure.<br /><br /> PLWH with end-stage organ disease experience good clinical and functional outcomes, and should be considered for SOT where indicated. However, multidisciplinary planning and care is essential to optomise care in this patient group. This article is protected by copyright.

Allerdings müssen die Limitationen solcher Systeme vor flächendeckendem klinischem Einsatz bekannt sein. Daher haben wir den Einfluss des "dunklen Rand-Artefakts" (engl. dark corner artefact; DCA) in dermatoskopischen Bildern auf die diagnostische Leistung eines CNN mit Marktzulassung zur Klassifikation von Hautläsionen untersucht.<br /><br /> Ein Datensatz aus 233 Bildern von Hautläsionen (60 maligne und 173 benigne) ohne DCA (Kontrolle) wurde digital so modifiziert, dass kleine, mittlere oder große DCA zu sehen waren. Alle 932 Bilder wurden dann mittels CNN mit Marktzulassung (Moleanalyzer-Pro<br /><br /> , FotoFinder Systems) auf Malignitätsscores hin analysiert. Das Spektrum reichte von 0-1; ein Score von &gt;0,5 wurde als maligne klassifiziert.<br /><br /> In der Kontrollserie ohne DCA erreichte das C kleinen oder mittleren DCA nicht beeinträchtigt, das System zeigte jedoch Schwächen bei großen DCA. Wenn Ärzte solche Bilder zur Klassifikation mittels CNN einreichen, sollten sie sich dieser Grenzen der Technologie bewusst sein.Med-ORF10, a single-domain protein with unknown function encoded by a gene located in a gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of a novel antitumour antibiotic medermycin, shares high homology to a group of small proteins widely distributed in many aromatic polyketide antibiotic pathways. This group of proteins contain a nuclear transport factor-2 (NTF-2) domain and appear to undergo an evolutionary divergence in their functions. Gene knockout and interspecies complementation suggested that Med-ORF10 plays a regulatory role in medermycin biosynthetic pathway. Overexpression of med-ORF10 in its wild-type strain led to significant increase of medermycin production. It was also shown by qRT-PCR and Western blot that Med-ORF10 controls the expression of genes encoding tailoring enzymes involved in medermycin biosynthesis. Transcriptome analysis and qRT-PCR revealed that Med-ORF10 has pleiotropic effects on more targets. However, there is no similar conserved domain available in Med-ORF10 compared to those of mechanistically known regulatory proteins; meanwhile, no direct interaction between Med-ORF10 and its target promoter DNA was detected via gel shift assay.
