Summary: The aim of this research was to explore the diagnostic value of circDENND4C in EOC and the corresponding mechanism. The expression of circDENND4C and miR-200b/c in tissues, serum, and cell lines of EOC were analyzed. It was found that circDENND4C was lowest while miR-200b/c was highest in EOC tissues and serums. Furthermore, circDENND4C was involved in the malignant progression of EOC by suppressing cell proliferation and stimulating apoptosis through downregulating miR-200b/c. Serum circDENND4C showed a higher specificity and accuracy than serum CA125 or HE4 in EOC diagnosis.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
