Hematoma growth (HG) affects the prognosis of patients with spontaneous intracranial hematoma (ICH), but there is still a lack of evidence about the effects of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) on HG in patients with severe ICH. This study retrospectively analyzed patients with severe ICH who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 1, 2015, and July 31, 2019. Severe ICH patients were divided into ASA group and nASA groups according to ASA usage, and the incidence of HG between the groups was compared. Univariate analysis was performed by the Mann–Whitney U test, chi-square test, or Fisher exact test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the impact of ASA on HG and to screen for risk factors of HG. In total, 221 patients with severe ICH were consecutively enrolled in this study. There were 72 (32.6%) patients in the ASA group and 149 patients in the nASA group. Although the incidence of HG in the nASA group was higher than that in the ASA group (34.9% VS 22.2%, p?=?0.056), ASA did not significantly affect the occurrence of HG (p?=?0.285) after adjusting for initial hematoma volume, high blood pressure at admission, coronary heart disease, and GCS at admission. In addition, we found that high blood pressure at admission was a risk factor for HG. Prior ASA does not increase the incidence of HG in severe ICH patients, and high blood pressure at admission is a risk factor for HG.
Herein, different amounts of ZrO2-coated LiMn2O4 materials are successfully prepared by one-time sintering ZrO2-coated Mn3O4 and Li2CO3. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy results confirm that the ZrO2 coating layer on the surface of Mn3O4 can still be maintained on the surface of the final LiMn2O4 particles even after long-term high-temperature heat-treatment. Three key factors to realize ZrO2-coated LiMn2O4 materials via the one-time sintering process are as follows: (i) the Mn3O4 precursor is coated by ZrO2 in advance; (ii) the ionic radius of Zr4+ is much larger than those of Mn3+ and Mn4+; (iii) the pre-calcination temperature is set in the reaction temperature range between Li2CO3 and Mn3O4 and lower than that between Li2CO3 and ZrO2. The 3 wt% ZrO2-coated LiMn2O4 material exhibits excellent electrochemical properties with an initial specific discharge capacity of 118.8 mA h g−1 and the capacity retention of 90.1% after 400 cycles at 25 °C and 88.9% after 150 cycles at 55 °C. Compared with the conventional coating method, the one-time sintering process to synthesize ZrO2-coated LiMn2O4 materials is very simple, low-cost, environmentally friendly, and easy to scale up for large-scale industrial production, which also provides a valuable reference for preparing other coating-type cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.A facile one-time sintering process was used to synthesize ZrO2-coated LiMn2O4 to greatly enhance its cycling performance.相似文献
