1 INTRODUCTION Biliary stones are located within the bile ducts' lumen, forming in association with cholestasis bile sludge,1 periampullary diverticula,2 bile duct infections3 and hormonal changes.4 In instances of small stone diameter, patients usually exhibit no obvious symptoms or only experience upper abdomen discomfort. Conversely, large stones obstruct the common bile duct, leading to jaundice, pancreatitis and cholangitis.

1 INTRODUCTION In recent years, the overall morbidity and mortality related to heart diseases have been on the rise year by year, which is not only a great danger to human health, but also a threat to the normal development and stability of society as a whole.1 It has been reported that the number of people who die suddenly due to heart disease in China exceeds 540 000 per year, which is equivalent to one person dying of heart disease every minute, and the number of deaths caused by heart...

Ba6In6Zn4Se19: A High Performance Infrared Nonlinear Optical Crystal with [InSe3]3- Trigonal Planar Functional Motifs An excellent nonlinear optical (NLO) material should satisfy many critical requirements simultaneously. How to balance all the requirements is a challenge, as those cause contradictory demands on structural attributes. Here, we use a high entropy strategy to integrate the advantages of ZnSe for a large NLO coefficient and planar [InSe3]3- functional motif for phase matching.
