Immunoglobulin D (IgD) multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare subtype of MM and commonly occurs in younger subjects but at a later stage of the International Staging System (ISS) when admitted. As a special type of IgD myeloma, IgD-λ/λ biclonal MM is rarer. Its serum protein electrophoresis and serum immuno-fixation electrophoresis (IFE) might find no anomalies even if the bone marrow (BM) examination is...
An association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and gut microbiota is well established, but the results of related studies are inconsistent. The purpose of this investigation is to elucidate the characteristics of the gut microbiota in T2DM and non-diabetic subjects. Forty-five subjects were recruited for this study, including 29 T2DM patients and 16 non-diabetic subjects. Biochemical param...
Co doped BaSnO3 films [BaSn1 − xCoxO3(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.50), id est, BSCO] have been grown on MgO single-crystal substrates via pulsed laser deposition. Effects of the Co-doping level on the crystallinity, the microstructure, and optical properties of the BSCO films are investigated. All the BSCO films are of high crystallinity and grown epitaxially on MgO substrates. The lattice parameter of the (200) pl...
