Fever in cancer patients is often due to the following causes: evil qi and toxity stagnancy, disorders of qi and blood, deficiencies of zang and fu organs, and the disorder of yin and yang. The treatments given to cancer patients with a fever are according to five: (a) Excessive inner heat and toxicants: remove heat and the toxicant, induce purgation. We use Cheng-Qi-Tang plus Qing-Wen-Bai-Du-Yin. (b) Tangle of damp and heat, and qi stagnancy: remove damp and heat, smooth the qi channel. We use Gan-Lu-Xiao-Du-Dan or San-Ren-Tang. (c) Obvious blood and heat stagnancy: remove heat and blood stasis. We use Xue-Fu-Zhu-Yu-Tang. (d) Deficiency of spleen qi, inner heat caused by a yin deficiency: nourish spleen qi and yin to remove the inner heat. We use Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang or Xiao-Jian-Zhong-Tang. (e) Prominent yin deficiency and hectic fever: replenish yin and remove inner heat. We use Qing-Hao-Bie-Jia-Tang or Chai-Qian-Mei-Lian-San. The pathogenesis of fever in cancer patients is complicated. We can see both deficiency and excess in one differentiation. Therefore, we must make sure of it, then we can get the most effective treatment.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Cobalt sulfides have attracted tremendous attention as promising anodes for lithium-and sodium-ion batteries. However, the delivery of a high capacity with good cycle life conferred by carbon-free cobalt sulfides is a still challenge. In this work, carbon-free CoS<SUB>x</SUB> hollow nanospheres have been prepared and investigated as an advanced anode material for both lithium- and sodium-ion batteries. The resultant material features a unique nano-architecture with hollow core and porous shell. Based on time-dependent experiments, an Ostwald ripening process is proposed to describe the formation of the hierarchical hollow structure. By virtue of its appealing structure and conversion electrochemical reaction mechanism, remarkable electrochemical performances (e.g., high Li/Na-storage capacity, excellent cycling stability, and good rate capability) are achieved when this material is utilized as the anode materials in rechargeable batteries. For instance, a high Li/Na-storage capacity (1012.1mAhg<SUP>−1</SUP> and 572.0mAhg<SUP>−1</SUP>) can be delivered after 100 cycles at 500mAg<SUP>−1</SUP>, corresponding to satisfied capacity retentions, suggesting the great promise of this material for application in rechargeable batteries.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> A uniform carbon-free CoS<SUB>x</SUB> hollow structure has been prepared through an Ostwald ripening process. </LI> <LI> Remarkable cycling stability rate capability have been achieved using the designed CoS<SUB>x</SUB> anodes. </LI> <LI> The designed anode displays competitive electrochemical performance compared to carbon-contained counterparts. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

The Application of Metal Sulfides in Sodium Ion Batteries

Xiao, Ying,Lee, Seon Hwa,Sun, Yang-Kook Wiley Blackwell (John Wiley Sons) 2017 Advanced energy materials Vol.7 No.3

<P>The high demand for clean and renewable energy has fueled the exploration of advanced energy storage systems. As a potential alternative device for lithium ion batteries, sodium ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted extraordinary attention and are becoming a promising candidate for energy storage due to their low cost and high efficiency. Recent progress has demonstrated that metal sulfides (MSs) are very promising electrode candidates for efficient Na-storage devices, because of their excellent redox reversibility and relatively high capacity. In this review, recent developments of MSs as anode materials for NIBs are presented. The corresponding electrochemical mechanisms are briefly discussed. We also present critical issues, challenges, and perspectives with the hope of providing a fuller understanding of the associated electrochemical processes. Such an understanding is critical for tailoring and designing metal sulfides with the desired activity and stability.</P>

Involvement of the Ca2+ signaling pathway in osteoprotegerin inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and maturation

Ying-Xiao Fu,Jian-Hong Gu,Yi Wang,Yan Yuan,Xue-Zhong Liu,Jian-Chun Bian,Zong-Ping Liu 대한수의학회 2015 Journal of Veterinary Science Vol.16 No.2

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Ca2+ signaling pathway is involved in the ability of osteoprotegerin (OPG) to inhibit osteoclast differentiation and maturation. RAW264.7 cells were incubated with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) + receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) to stimulate osteoclastogenesis and then treated with different concentrations of OPG, an inhibitor of osteoclast differentiation. The intracellular Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i and phosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in the different treatment groups were measured by flow cytometry and Western blotting, respectively. The results confirmed that M-CSF + RANKL significantly increased [Ca2+]i and CaMKII phosphorylation in osteoclasts (p < 0.01), and that these effects were subsequently decreased by OPG treatment. Exposure to specific inhibitors of the Ca2+ signaling pathway revealed that these changes varied between the different OPG treatment groups. Findings from the present study indicated that the Ca2+ signaling pathway is involved in both the regulation of osteoclastogenesis as well as inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and activation by OPG.
