    In conclusion, catastrophizing was an important predictor of subsequent SIB due to its effect on increasing depression among patients with chronic nonmalignant pain receiving long-term opioid therapy. Future research should explore the extent to which targeting catastrophizing reduces subsequent depression and suicide risk. Since the middle of December 2019, human-to-human transmission of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has occurred among close contacts. At the same time, greater attention should be paid to psychological crisis intervention (PCI) among affected populations, for the timely prevention of inestimable damage from a secondary psychological crisis. PCI has been initiated via remote (telephone and internet) and onsite medical services to help medical workers, patients, and others affected to overcome any psychological difficulties. This paper outlines experiences based on the work of the Shanghai Medical Team. HYPOTHESIS We test the validity of the Young-Laplace equation and Henry’s law for sub-micron bubble suspensions, which has long been a questionable issue. Application of the two theories allows characterization of bubble diameter and gas molecule partitioning between gaseous and dissolved phases using two easily measurable variables total gas content (CT) and bubble volume concentration (BVC). EXPERIMENTS We measure CT and BVC for sub-micron bubble suspensions generated from three pure gases, which allows calculation of bubble diameter for each suspension using the Young-Laplace equation and Henry’s law. Uncertainties involved in the experimental measurements are assessed. Bubble size for each suspension is also directly measured using a dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique for comparison. FINDINGS Applying the two theories we calculate that the bubble diameters are in the range of 304-518 nm, which correspond very well with the DLS-measured diameters. Sensitivity analyses demonstrate that the correspondence of the calculated and DLS-measured bubble diameters should take place only if the two theories are valid. The gas molecule partitioning analysis shows that >96% of gas molecules in the suspension exist as dissolved phase, which suggests the significance of the dissolved phase for applications of the bubble suspensions. Extensive exposure to antibiotics could potentially be harmful to the environment and human health. TRAM-34 in vitro The development of effective and convenient technologies to remove residual antibiotics from water is imperative. Herein, we successfully developed a facile method via pyrolysis of Fe-MIL-88B_NH2 to synthesize magnetic nanocomposites (MNC) as potential adsorbents, which exhibited cluster-shape structure and excellent magnetic response. Magnetic nanocomposites carbonized at 700 °C showed high efficiency for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) adsorption (73.53 mg/g). Some experimental conditions including solution pH, ionic strength, coexisting ions and SMX concentration were systematically investigated. The adsorption isotherm and kinetic followed Langmuir and the pseudo-second-order models, and the adsorption process was dependent on the solution pH. The adsorption mechanism hypothesis was pore filling effect, π-π EDA and electrostatic interactions. Moreover, MNC-700 exhibited good reusability and magnetic separation properties, being reused six times without significant loss in adsorption capacity. In this work, a conformally interfacial nanocoating strategy is introduced to enhance the lithium ion storage performance of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO). Stable cycling of LNMO is achieved through La2O3 coating at both room and elevated temperatures. A series of La2O3-coated LNMO composites with various coating contents ranging from 0 to 3 wt% is prepared, and their electrochemical behaviors are systematically investigated. Among them, the 2 wt% La2O3-coated LNMO cathode presents the best comprehensive lithium ion storage performance; for instance, it retains more than 75% capacity retention after 500 cycles at room temperature and 93% capacity retention after 50 cycles at an elevated temperature of 55 °C with 1C rate. Moreover, the modified samples show more stable plateau potential than the pristine one during the cycling process. It is believed that the introduction of the La2O3 nanocoating layer can effectively suppress side reactions between electrode and electrolyte, thus maintaining stable structure of electrode material and reducing polarization during cycling. Our work provides an effective approach to improve the electrochemical stability of LNMO high-potential cathode for future large-scale applications of enhanced lithium ion batteries with high energy density and long cycle life. Cu2O is widely used in the visible-light photocatalytic field, but its photocatalytic activity and stability still need to be further enhanced. Thus, searching for an efficient method to inhibit photocorrosion of Cu2O and boost its photogenerated charge carriers’ separation is very important and challenging. Herein, Cu2O@CuS core-shell hexapetalous flowers were synthesized by hydrothermal and in-situ chemical vapor deposition (CVD) strategy. The Cu2O hexapetalous flowers were firstly obtained through hydrothermal procedure, and then CuS in-situ grew on Cu2O to form core-shell structure by CVD, which effectively inhibited the photocorrosion of Cu2O. Meanwhile, Cu2O@CuS core-shell structure could extend their light absorption ranges from 200 to 1500 nm; promote the separation of electrons and holes in photocatalytic system. Thus, under the wide-spectral region, Cu2O@CuS exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of tetracycline at 91% with good cycling ability, resulting from the effective separation of photogenerated charges, more free radicals such as OH and O2-, increases of utilization rate of visible-light. These results indicate that in-situ CVD strategy is a feasible method to improve visible-light photocatalytic activity and stability of Cu2O. Polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) are a versatile category of materials due to their ability to modify surface properties for applications ranging from protective coatings to improved cell adhesion. Polyelectrolyte choice, including its structure and molecular weight (MW), is known to greatly influence PEM assembly and surface properties. In this work, poly(acrylic acid)/poly-l-lysine PEMs using three pairs of MWs (1.8k/15-30k, 100k/120k, and 250k/275k) were studied to determine the effects of their MWs on PEM assembly, topography and surface energy. PEMs assembly was monitored in a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, resulting in masses of 3.90 ± 0.87 µg/cm2, 10.80 ± 4.189 µg/cm2, and 30.04 ± 13.68 µg/cm2 for 10 bilayers of low, medium, and high MW pairs, respectively. The low MW PEM was more rigid. Low and high MW PEMs exhibited higher roughness than medium MW, caused by polyelectrolyte stripping. Surface energy remained constant with bilayer count in the low and high MW PEMs, but steadily increased in the medium MW PEM.
