How Can Gender‐Related SDP Programmes Enhance Gender Inclusion? A Scoping Review
Zhang, Wanmeng; Zhang, Qi; Li, GenSince the emergence of Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) programmes in the early 21st century, these initiatives have become a global effort to leverage sport in addressing social challenges and advancing the SDGs, with the promotion of gender equality (Goal 5) being one of their key objectives. In male‐dominated sports environments, both women and sexual and gender minorities (SGM) face persistent barriers...
Unveiling challenges and opportunities in silicon-based all-solid-state batteri...
Zhao, Mingcai; Zhang, Juan; Costa, Carlos Miguel Silva; Lanceros-Mendez, S.; Zhang, Qi; Wang, WeiLi-metal and silicon are potential anode materials in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSBs) due to high specific capacity. However, both materials form gaps at the interface with solid electrolytes (SEs) during charging/discharging, resulting in increased impedance and uneven current density distribution. In this perspective, the different mechanisms of formation of these gaps are elaborated in detail. For L...
Recycling procedures for energy storage devices in the scope of the electric ve...
Costa, Carlos Miguel Silva; Wang, Yifeng; Goikolea, Eider; Zhang, Qi; Castro, Hélder; Gonçalves, Renato Ferreira; Lanceros-Mendez, S.The growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market is leading to an increasing demand for batteries and the corresponding environmental issues must be urgently considered. The global battery market is dominated by lithium-ion batteries, given their excellent properties. Taking this growth into account, it will result in an increasing demand for materials for their production and, in order to minimize the environmen...
Global chronic total occlusion crossing algorithm: JACC state-of-the-Art review
Wu, Eugene B.; Brilakis, Emmanouil S.; Mashayekhi, Kambis; Tsuchikane, Etsuo; Alaswad, Khaldoon; Araya, Mario; Avran, Alexandre; Azzalini, LorenzoThe authors developed a global chronic total occlusion crossing algorithm following 10 steps: 1) dual angiography; 2) careful angiographic review focusing on proximal cap morphology, occlusion segment, distal vessel quality, and collateral circulation; 3) approaching proximal cap ambiguity using intravascular ultrasound, retrograde, and move-the-cap techniques; 4) approaching poor distal vessel quality using th...

ELISA and chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for sensitive and specific determ...
Xu, Long; Suo, Xiao-yi; Zhang, Qi; Li, Xin-ping; Chen, Chen; Zhang, Xiao-yingLead is a heavy metal with increasing public health concerns on its accumulation in the food chain and environment. Immunoassays for the quantitative measurement of environmental heavy metals offer numerous advantages over other traditional methods. ELISA and chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA), based on the mAb we generated, were developed for the detection of lead (II). In total, 50% inhibitory concen...
Guiding principles for chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary interventi...
Brilakis, Emmanouil S.; Mashayekhi, Kambis; Tsuchikane, Etsuo; Abi Rafeh, Nidal; Alaswad, Khaldoon; Araya, Mario; Avran, Alexandre; Azzalini, LorenzoOutcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have improved because of advancements in equipment and techniques. With global collaboration and knowledge sharing, we have identified 7 common principles that are widely accepted as best practices for CTO-PCI. 1. Ischemic symptom improvement is the primary indication for CTO-PCI. 2. Dual coronary angiography and in-depth and s...
Analysis of crucial molecules involved in herniated discs and degenerative disc...
Qu, Zhigang; Miao, Weiwei; Zhang, Qi; Wang, Zhenyu; Fu, Changfeng; Han, Jinhua; Liu, YiOBJECTIVES: Herniated discs and degenerative disc disease are major health problems worldwide. However, their pathogenesis remains obscure. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms of these ailments and to identify underlying therapeutic targets. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Using the GSE23130 microarray datasets downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, differentially co-expressed genes and li...
