Anti‐icing Performance of Superhydrophobic Surfaces with Periodic Micro‐nano Structures Directly Induced by Femtosecond Laser

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study provides a femtosecond laser etching method for preparing superhydrophobic anti‐icing surfaces, which directly induces periodic micro‐nano structures on the laser scanning path, eliminating the complicated steps of designing hydrophobic patterns.

Serum Cistatin C in patients with delayed graft function [PDF]

Makedonsko Farmacevtski Bilten, 2006
Despite recent studies showing that serum Cystatin C(CysC) is a better marker for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than the ubiquitously used creatinine, the clinical utility of this remains to be evaluated.

Manufacture of 3D Compact Graphene Oxide Macrostructures

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This article discusses methods to manufacture 3D graphene oxide‐based compact macrostructures, including molding, origami and kirigami, stimuli‐responsive deformation, and 3D printing. The compact morphology makes the graphene oxide‐based structures achieve high mechanical stiffness and strength to satisfy applications that need excellent mechanical ...

Penalized Variable Selection for Multi-center Competing Risks Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
We consider variable selection in competing risks regression for multi-center data. Our research is motivated by deceased donor kidney transplants, from which recipients would experience graft failure, death with functioning graft (DWFG), or graft survival. The occurrence of DWFG precludes graft failure from happening and therefore is a competing risk.

3D Printing of Photocrosslinked Alginate Dialdehyde‐Gelatin Hydrogels Reinforced with Cobalt‐Containing Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles for Developing Skin Wound Dressings

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Bioactive multi‐crosslinked hydrogels are prepared from gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), methacrylate‐functionalized alginate dialdehyde (ADAMA), and Cobalt‐doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Co‐MBGNs), demonstrating optimized elasticity, cytocompatibility, and wound healing potential.

The Canadian Experience Using the Expanded Criteria Donor Classification for Allocating Deceased Donor Kidneys for Transplantation

Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease, 2016
Background: Although the outcomes of transplantation with expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidneys are inferior to non-ECD transplants in the USA, the impact of the ECD classification on Canadian kidney transplant recipients is not known.

Many-Chain Effects on the Co-nonsolvency of Polymer Brushes in a Good Solvent Mixture [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Polymer brushes normally swell in a good solvent and collapse in a poor solvent. An abnormal response of polymer brushes, so-called co-nonsolvency, is the phenomenon where the brush counter-intuitively collapses in a good solvent mixture. In this work, we employed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structural properties of the grafted ...

Multiplexed Bio‐detection on an Interferometric Optical Waveguide Assembly

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Multiplexed remote bio‐detection is demonstrated through an image conduit composed of 3012 individual cores and coated with interferometric layers. The proof of concept of biodetection is performed through the kinetic monitoring of two complementary DNA strands hybridization paving the way for applications in multiplex in situ biosensing, and ...

Current Advances of Antibacterial Biomaterials for Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Effective treatment of infectious bone defects requires not only robust bone regeneration, but also the elimination of bacterial infection. This review highlights current cutting‐edge concepts and innovations in synthetic bone repair biomaterials and antibacterial bone repair materials, aiming to promote clinical translation and inspire broader ...
