Three different nanostructures of CuO (wires, platelets, and spindles) have been synthesized by one precursor. First, Cu(OH) 2 nanowires have been prepared by a two-step, template-free, wet chemical approach. And then the transformation from the 1D Cu(OH) 2 nanostructures to a variety of novel CuO nanostructures has been realized by thermal dehydration of the as-prepared Cu(OH) 2 in solution. The electrochemical characters of the three different nanostructures are studied by their investigation of electrochemical impendance spectrum and cyclic voltammetry. A comparison of the three nanostructures showed us an attractive phenomenon, that is, the electron transfer ability of CuO nanospindles was stronger than that of CuO nanowires or nanoplatelets. We suggest the possible reason is the assembly of the nanostructrue. The electrochemical response of the as-prepared samples on H 2 O 2 is also investigated, and good application in electrochemical detecting of glucose is exhibited.

In rural West China, the risk of premature death is nearly 5 times higher in people with convulsive epilepsy than in the general Chinese population and especially high among young people. Accidental death, including drowning, and probable SUDEP are the leading putative causes of death in people with convulsive epilepsy in rural West China.

Menopause nearly adversely affects all components of MetS, and surgical menopause may lead to a higher incidence of MetS compared to natural menopause. HT with various preparations may have different effects on MetS components. These results may clarify the management of menopause-related MetS in clinical practice.
