In Situ X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Study of the Deactivation Mechanism of a Ni-SrTiO3 Photocatalyst Slurry Active in Water Splitting

We used in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to investigate the composition–performance correlation of Ni-SrTiO3 photocatalysts active for water splitting. After preparation and exposure to ambient conditions, the Ni particles on SrTiO3 consist of Ni(0) and Ni(II) phases, with a 4:1 at % ratio, in a metal/oxide core/shell configuration, as confirmed by XPS and TEM-EDX. In situ XAS experiments using an aqueous slurry of the Ni-SrTiO3 photocatalyst and simultaneous continuous exposure to...

Mismatch Repair Deficiency as a Predictive and Prognostic Biomarker in Endometrial Cancer: A Review on Immunohistochemistry Staining Patterns and Clinical Implications

: Among the four endometrial cancer (EC) TCGA molecular groups, the MSI/hypermutated group represents an important percentage of tumors (30%), including different histotypes, and generally confers an intermediate prognosis for affected women, also providing new immunotherapeutic strategies. Immunohistochemistry for MMR proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2) has become the optimal diagnostic MSI surrogate worldwide. This review aims to provide state-of-the-art knowledge on MMR deficiency/MSI in ...

Pink-on-pink: hepatocellular carcinoma metastatic to oncocytic carcinoma of the thyroid

: Hepatocellular carcinoma typically metastasizes within the liver and may involve extrahepatic sites such as the lungs, adrenal glands, and bones at advanced stages. However, hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis to the thyroid is very uncommon and tumor-to-tumor metastasis from a hepatocellular cancer to a thyroid neoplasm is extremely rare. In this report, we present a case of a 70-year-old man with a hepatocellular carcinoma metastasizing to oncocytic thyroid carcinoma, emphasizing the impo...
