https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gsk503.html The success of n-type doping has attracted strong research interest for exploring effective n-type dopants for Mg3Sb2 thermoelectrics. Herein, we experimentally study Gd and Ho as n-type dopants for Mg3Sb2 thermoelectrics. The synthesis, structural characterization, and thermoelectric properties of Gd-doped, Ho-doped, (Gd, Te)-codoped, and (Ho, Te)-codoped Mg3Sb2 samples are reported. It is found that Gd and Ho are effective n-type cation-site dopants showing a higher doping efficiency as well as a superior carrier concentration in comparison with anion-site doping with Te, consistent with the previous theoretical prediction. For n-type Mg3Sb2 samples doped with Gd or Ho, optimal thermoelectric figure of merit zT values of ∼1.26 and ∼0.94 at 725 K are obtained, respectively, in Mg3.5Gd0.04Sb2 and Mg3.5Ho0.04Sb2, which are superior to many reported Te-doped Mg3Sb2 without alloying with Mg3Bi2. By codoping with Gd (or Ho) and Te, reduced thermal conductivity and enhanced power factor values are achieved at high temperatures, which results in enhanced peak zT values well above unity at 725 K. This work reveals Gd and Ho as effective n-type dopants for Mg3Sb2 thermoelectric materials. Many medical therapies have been tested to deal with urinary stent-related symptoms (USRS). Several preventive and pharmaceutical methods have been already used for better compatibility of stents. However, the existing evidence for pharmacological treatment is still controversial. This study aims to evaluate the effects of pregabalin, solifenacin, and combination therapy on ureteral double-J stent-related symptoms following ureteroscopy and transureteral lithotripsy (TUL). In a randomized controlled clinical trial, from November 2017 to March 2019, 256 patients who underwent ureteroscopy were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided into four groups including group A received pregabalin 75mg BID (twice daily), group B received solifenacin 5m
