RESUMO

The development of new recyclable and inexpensive electrochemically active species for water oxidation catalysis is the most crucial step for future utilization of renewables. Particularly, transition metal complexes containing internal multiple, cooperative metal centers to couple with redox catalysts in the inorganic Keggin-type polyoxometalate (POM) framework at high potential or under extreme pH conditions would be promising candidates. However, most reported Ni-containing POMs have been highly unstable towards hydrolytic decomposition, which precludes them from application as water oxidation catalysts (WOCs). Here, we have prepared new tri-Ni-containing POMs with variable oxidation states by charge tailored synthetic strategies for the first time and developed them as recyclable POMs for water oxidation catalysts. In addition, by implanting corresponding POM anions into the positively charged MIL-101(Cr) metal-organic framework (MOF), the entrapped Ni2+/Ni3+ species can show complete recyclability for water oxidation catalysis without encountering uncontrolled hydrolysis of the POM framework. As a result, a low onset potential of approximately 1.46 V vs. NHE for water oxidation with stable WOC performance is recorded. Based on this study, rational design and stabilization of other POM-electrocatalysts containing different multiple transition metal centres could be made possible.

RESUMO

Unraveling the catalyst surface structure and behavior during reactions is essential for both mechanistic understanding and performance optimization. Here we report a phenomenon of facet-dependent surface restructuring intrinsic to ß-Ni(OH)2 catalysts during oxygen evolution reaction (OER), discovered by the correlative ex situ and operando characterization. The ex situ study after OER reveals ß-Ni(OH)2 restructuring at the edge facets to form nanoporous Ni1-xO, which is Ni deficient containing Ni3+ species. Operando liquid transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy further identify the active role of the intermediate ß-NiOOH phase in both the OER catalysis and Ni1-xO formation, pinpointing the complete surface restructuring pathway. Such surface restructuring is shown to effectively increase the exposed active sites, accelerate Ni oxidation kinetics, and optimize *OH intermediate bonding energy toward fast OER kinetics, which leads to an extraordinary activity enhancement of ∼16-fold. Facilitated by such a self-activation process, the specially prepared ß-Ni(OH)2 with larger edge facets exhibits a 470-fold current enhancement than that of the benchmark IrO2, demonstrating a promising way to optimize metal-(oxy)hydroxide-based catalysts.

RESUMO

Plastic crystals as barocaloric materials exhibit the large entropy change rivalling freon, however, the limited pressure-sensitivity and large hysteresis of phase transition hinder the colossal barocaloric effect accomplished reversibly at low pressure. Here we report reversible colossal barocaloric effect at low pressure in two-dimensional van-der-Waals alkylammonium halides. Via introducing long carbon chains in ammonium halide plastic crystals, two-dimensional structure forms in (CH3-(CH2)n-1)2NH2X (X: halogen element) with weak interlayer van-der-Waals force, which dictates interlayer expansion as large as 13% and consequently volume change as much as 12% during phase transition. Such anisotropic expansion provides sufficient space for carbon chains to undergo dramatic conformation disordering, which induces colossal entropy change with large pressure-sensitivity and small hysteresis. The record reversible colossal barocaloric effect with entropy change ΔSr ~ 400 J kg-1 K-1 at 0.08 GPa and adiabatic temperature change ΔTr ~ 11 K at 0.1 GPa highlights the design of novel barocaloric materials by engineering the dimensionality of plastic crystals.

RESUMO

Designing high-performance thermal catalysts with stable catalytic sites is an important challenge. Conventional wisdom holds that strong metal-support interactions can benefit the catalyst performance, but there is a knowledge gap in generalizing this effect across different metals. Here, we have successfully developed a generalizable strong metal-support interaction strategy guided by Tammann temperatures of materials, enabling functional oxide encapsulation of transition metal nanocatalysts. As an illustrative example, Co@BaAl2O4 core@shell is synthesized and tracked in real-time through in-situ microscopy and spectroscopy, revealing an unconventional strong metal-support interaction encapsulation mechanism. Notably, Co@BaAl2O4 exhibits exceptional activity relative to previously reported core@shell catalysts, displaying excellent long-term stability during high-temperature chemical reactions and overcoming the durability and reusability limitations of conventional supported catalysts. This pioneering design and widely applicable approach has been validated to guide the encapsulation of various transition metal nanoparticles for environmental tolerance functionalities, offering great potential to advance energy, catalysis, and environmental fields.

RESUMO

In this paper, we propose a two-timescale projection neural network (PNN) for solving optimization problems with nonconvex functions. We prove the convergence of the PNN with sufficiently different timescales to a local optimal solution. We develop a collaborative neurodynamic approach with multiple such PNNs to search for global optimal solutions. In addition, we develop a collaborative neurodynamic approach with multiple PNNs connected via a directed graph for distributed global optimization. We elaborate on four numerical examples to illustrate the characteristics of the approaches.

RESUMO

Researchers have been exploring alternative methods for bone tissue engineering, as current management of critical bone defects may be a significant challenge for both patient and surgeon with conventional surgical treatments associated with several potential complications and drawbacks. Recent studies have shown mesenchymal stem cell sheets may enhance bone regeneration in different animal models. We investigated the efficacy of implanted scaffold-free bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) sheets on bone regeneration of a critical bone defect in a weight-bearing rat model. BMSCs were isolated from the femora of male Sprague-Dawley rats 5-6 weeks of age and cell sheets were produced on temperature-responsive culture dishes. Nine male Sprague-Dawley rats 6-8 weeks of age were utilized. A bilateral femoral critical bone defect was created with a bridge plate serving as internal fixation. One side was randomly selected and BMSC sheets were implanted into the bone defect (BMSC group), with the contralateral side receiving no treatment (control). Rats were anesthetized and radiographs were performed at 2-week intervals. At the 8-week time point, rats were euthanized, femurs harvested, and microcomputed tomography and histological analysis was performed. We found a statistically significant increase in new bone formation and bone volume fraction compared with the control. Histomorphometry analysis revealed a larger percent of newly formed bone and a higher total histological score. Our results suggest that scaffold-free BMSC sheets may be used in the management of large weight-bearing bone defects to complement a different surgical technique or as a standalone approach followed by internal fixation. However, further research is still needed.

RESUMO

【Objective:】 To understand the moral dilemma, coping style of frontline nurses and their correlation during the COVID -19. 【Methods:】 From March to April, 2021, 651 nurses working in designated hospitals for COVID -19 were selected by convenient sampling, and the Chinese version of Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R) and Chinese version of Coping Style Questionnaire (CSQ) were used for investigation. 【Results:】 Frontline nurses’ MDS-R score was 91.0, "value conflicts" was the moral dilemma with the highest frequency and intensity, more than half (51.0%) of the respondents had considered leaving their position because of moral dilemma. "Problem solving" and "seeking for help" were the major coping strategies adopted by the nurses. Nurses who directly provide medical services for COVID -19 patients, dissatisfied with hospital-related training and adopted negative coping strategies had higher moral dilemmas than other nurses. 【Conclusion:】 The moral dilemma of frontline nurses is at a high level during the period of epidemic prevention and control. Nursing managers should pay attention to guiding and helping nurses to establish positive coping styles and improve their ability to respond to major public health emergencies.

RESUMO

We report a theoretical investigation of X-ray back diffraction at grazing incidence. Based on the framework of the dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction, the grazing incidence for Si (12 4 0) back diffraction is taken as an example to resolve the eigenvalue problem inside the crystal. The dispersion surface and the resulting diffraction intensities are strongly affected by the miscut angle as well as the diffraction geometry of grazing incidence. The kinematical relationship between the incident angle and the miscut angle is well explained by Snell's law. While only the two-beam diffraction is considered, our treatment can be further extended to include the cases for multiple diffractions as well.

RESUMO

High-entropy alloy (HEA) nanoparticles (NPs) have been emerging with superior compositional tunability and multielemental synergy, presenting a unique platform for material discovery and performance optimization. Here we report a synthetic approach utilizing hollow-carbon confinement in the ordinary furnace annealing to achieve the nonequilibrium HEA-NPs such as Pt0.45Fe0.18Co0.12Ni0.15Mn0.10 with uniform size ∼5.9 nm. The facile temperature control allows us not only to reveal the detailed reaction pathway through ex situ characterization but also to tailor the HEA-NP structure from the crystalline solid solution to intermetallic. The preconfinement of metal precursors is the key to ensure the uniform distribution of metal nanoparticles with confined volume, which is essential to prevent the thermodynamically favored phase separation even during the ordinary furnace annealing. Besides, the synthesized HEA-NPs exhibit remarkable activity and stability in oxygen reduction catalysis. The demonstrated synthetic approach may significantly expand the scope of HEA-NPs with uncharted composition and performance.

RESUMO

We present a new composite catalyst system of highly defective graphene quantum dots (HDGQDs)-doped 1T/2H-MoS2 for efficient hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). The high electrocatalytic activity, represented by an overpotential of 136.9 mV and a Tafel slope of 57.1 mV/decade, is due to improved conductivity, a larger number of active sites in 1T-MoS2 compared to that in 2H-MoS2, and additional defects introduced by HDGQDs. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize both the 1T/2H-MoS2 and GQDs components while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to identify the functional groups on the edge and defect sites in the HDGQDs. The morphology of the composite catalyst was also examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). All experimental data demonstrated that each component contributes unique advantages that synergistically lead to the significantly improved electrocatalytic activity for HER in the composite catalyst system.

RESUMO

The establishment of active sites as the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) has recently attracted much attention ranging from homogeneous to heterogeneous systems in the field of catalysis. Their unquenched reactivity of Lewis acid and base pairs in close proximity that are unable to form stable adducts has been shown to activate small molecules such as dihydrogen heterolytically. Herein, we show that grafted Ru metal-organic framework-based catalysts prepared via N-containing linkers are rather catalytically inactive for H2 activation despite the application of elevated temperatures. However, upon light illumination, charge polarization of the anchored Ru bipyridine complex can form a transient Lewis acid-base pair, Ru+-N- via metal-to-ligand charge transfer, as confirmed by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations to carry out effective H2-D2 exchange. FTIR and 2-D NMR endorse the formation of such reactive intermediate(s) upon light irradiation.

RESUMO

Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a hormone precursor, and has been reported to participate in domestication. However, its effects on feeding habit domestication in fish are poorly understood. Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) feeds solely on live prey fish since first-feeding. In the present study, the high expression of pomc in mandarin fish, both the pomc siRNA and MC4R inhibitor treatments increased the success rate of domestication from live prey fish to dead prey fish and food intake of dead prey fish, suggesting the role of pomc on the special feeding habit of live prey fish in mandarin fish. In addition, one c-fos binding site was identified in the region that from -1053 bp to -931 bp upstream of the transcription start site of pomc, and this region exhibited positive promoter activity. The mandarin fish brain cells treated with c-fos siRNA displayed suppressed pomc mRNA expression, indicating that c-fos positively regulated pomc expression. Furthermore, the mRNA expression of c-fos was higher in the mandarin fish which were more difficult to domesticate. The results of ChIP assay and inhibitor treatment confirmed that the activation of c-fos gene by histone H3K4me3 was catalyzed by Setd1b in mandarin fish. Three open peaks were found at the upstream regulatory region of setd1b by ATAC-seq, and the mRNA expression of setd1b was higher in the mandarin fish which were more difficult to domesticate. These results indicated that Setd1b could methylate histone H3K4 to activate the c-fos transcription, maintaining the high expression of pomc, which might contribute to the special feeding habit of mandarin fish.

RESUMO

Influenza is an infectious acute respiratory disease with complications and a high mortality rate; the effective medicines for influenza therapy are limited. "Huanglian" or Coptidis Rhizoma, Coptis chinensis Franch., Ranunculaceae, and "ganjiang" or Zingiberis Rhizoma, Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Zingiberaceae, combination is clinically used for treating respiratory diseases. HPLC was applied for the quantification of berberine hydrochloride (1.101 mg/ml) and 6-gingerol (38.41 µg/ml) in the H2O-soluble extract of the herbal formulation. In this study, the effect of "huanglian"- "ganjiang" extract on influenza virus H1N1-induced acute pulmonary inflammation was evaluated, in addition to the investigation of its anti-influenza mechanism in a mouse model. The analyzed herbal combination inhibited the expression of cytokine IL-6 and stimulated the expression of IL-2 in the serum of influenza virus-infected mice. Meanwhile, the herbal combination downregulated the gene and protein expression levels of TLR3, TLR7, MyD88, RIG-I, MAVS, TRAF3, and NF-κB p65, which are key targets of toll-like and RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathways in mice. In addition, the herbal combination could also promote the combination of intracellular autophagosomes and lysosomes in autophagosome-lysosome formation and improve impaired fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes by influenza virus. This study suggested that the "huanglian"- "ganjiang" extract may be a candidate therapeutic strategy for the treatment of H1N1 influenza.

RESUMO

Abnormal blood pressure is common in critically ill stroke patients. However, the association between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and mortality of critically ill stroke patients remains unclear. We extracted eligible acute stroke patients from the MIMIC-III database. The patients were divided into three groups: a low MAP group (MAP ≤ 70 mmHg), a normal MAP group (70 mmHg < MAP ≤ 90 mmHg), and a high MAP group (MAP > 90 mmHg). The Cox proportional hazards model and restricted cubic splines were used to assess the association between MAP and mortality. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to investigate whether MAP had different effects on mortality in different subpopulations. A total of 2885 stroke patients were included in this study. The crude 7-day and 28-day mortality was significantly higher in the low MAP group than that in the normal MAP group. By contrast, patients in the high MAP group did not have higher crude 7-day and 28-day mortality than those in the normal MAP group. After multiple adjustments using the Cox regression model, patients with low MAP were consistently associated with higher 7-day and 28-day mortality than those with normal MAP in the following subgroups: age > 60 years, male, those with or without hypertension, those without diabetes, and those without CHD (p < 0.05), but patients with high MAP were not necessarily associated with higher 7-day and 28-day mortality after adjustments (most p > 0.05). Using the restricted cubic splines, an approximately L-shaped relationship was established between MAP and the 7-day and 28-day mortality in acute stroke patients. The findings were robust to multiple sensitivity analyses in stroke patients. In critically ill stroke patients, a low MAP significantly increased the 7-day and 28-day mortality, while a high MAP did not, suggesting that a low MAP is more harmful than a high MAP in critically ill stroke patients.

RESUMO

Exploring highly efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding filler is urgently desired for next-generation wireless communication and integrated electronics. In this regard, a series of heterogeneous MoO2/N-doped carbon (MoO2/NC) nanorods with tunable conductivity have been successfully synthesized by regulating the pyrolysis temperature within 600, 700 and 800 °C. Profiting from the rational design of heterointerface and low-dimensional structure, the MoO2/NC powder achieves stronger EMI shielding capacity with the incremental temperature. It is found that the MoO2/NC-800 nanorods exhibit the optimal average EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 57.2 dB at a thickness of ∼0.3 mm in the X band. Meanwhile, the corresponding shielding mechanisms of MoO2/NC nanorods are also elaborately explained. More interestingly, the increase of sintering temperature makes an obvious effect on absorption loss but has little influence on reflection loss, demonstrating that adjusting the pyrolysis temperature is an effective strategy to strengthen the electromagnetic energy dissipation.

RESUMO

Studies on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury suggest that exogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) are ideal candidates for stem cell therapy reperfusion injury. However, NSCs are difficult to obtain owing to ethical limitations. In addition, the survival, differentiation, and proliferation rates of transplanted exogenous NSCs are low, which limit their clinical application. Our previous study showed that neuregulin1ß (NRG1ß) alleviated cerebral I/R injury in rats. In this study, we aimed to induce human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into NSCs and investigate the improvement effect and mechanism of NSCs pretreated with 10 nM NRG1ß on PC12 cells injured by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Our results found that 5 and 10 nM NRG1ß promoted the generation and proliferation of NSCs. Co-culture of NSCs and PC12 cells under condition of OGD/R showed that pretreatment of NSCs with NRG1ß improved the level of reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, glutathione, superoxide dismutase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and mitochondrial damage in injured PC12 cells; these indexes are related to ferroptosis. Research has reported that p53 and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) play vital roles in ferroptosis caused by cerebral I/R injury. Our data show that the expression of p53 was increased and the level of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) was decreased after RNA interference-mediated knockdown of SLC7A11 in PC12 cells, but this change was alleviated after co-culturing NSCs with damaged PC12 cells. These findings suggest that NSCs pretreated with NRG1ß exhibited neuroprotective effects on PC12 cells subjected to OGD/R through influencing the level of ferroptosis regulated by p53/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.

RESUMO

Objective:To explore the risk factors analysis and validation of anemia after triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and risk prediction model, to provide reference for reducing the incidence of anemia after TNBC-NAC.Methods:Retrospectively, 316 female TNBC-NAC patients in the breast department of our hospital from January 2016 to July 2021 were selected as the study subjects (modeling set), and the condition of anemia after the last chemotherapy was set as the observation group. In addition, 98 breast cancer patients in 2022 were selected for validation. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of Fukangning capsule on TNBC-NAC anemia. We established the risk nomogram prediction model and calibration curve of anemia after chemotherapy by using R software and conducted internal and external verification. Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the prediction deviation between the risk prediction value of the nomogram model and the actual observed value, and the ROC curve was used to evaluate the prediction effect of the model.Results:A total of 75 (23.73%) among 316 patients developed anemia. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that menopause [ OR (95% CI)=26.739 (5.063-141.227)], RBC [ OR (95% CI)=0.168 (0.098-0.286)], Hb level [ OR (95% CI)=0.952 (0.929-0.976)], and pathological stage Ⅲ[ OR (95% CI)=4.182 (1.759-9.946)] were independent risk factors for anemia after TNBC-NAC ( P<0.05). The nomogram prediction model established based on the above factors. Hosmer-Lemeshow test results showed that the difference between the risk prediction value and the actual observed value is ( χ2=3.68, P=0.885). The correction curve approaches to the ideal curve and the average absolute error was 0.012. The area under the ROC curve was 0.945, 95% CI was 0.918-0.972, sensitivity was 0.921 and specificity was 0.853, suggesting that the model has good differentiation and calibration degree. The external validation results showed that the nomogram predicted anemia with sensitivity of 88.7%, spectificity of 85.45% and accuracy of 86.73%. Conclusion:Menopausal status, RBC, Hb level before chemotherapy and pathological stage are independent risk factors for anemia after taking TNBC-NAC. The nomogram prediction model based on the above indicators had good discrimination and calibration, and accurately predicted the possibility of anemia after TNBC-NAC.

RESUMO

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with poor prognosis. This study aimed to depict the genetic landscape of Chinese PCNSLs. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on 68 newly diagnosed Chinese PCNSL samples, whose genomic characteristics and clinicopathologic features were also analyzed. Structural variations were identified in all patients with a mean of 349, which did not significantly influence prognosis. Copy loss occurred in all samples, while gains were detected in 77.9% of the samples. The high level of copy number variations was significantly associated with poor progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). A total of 263 genes mutated in coding regions were identified, including 6 newly discovered genes (ROBO2, KMT2C, CXCR4, MYOM2, BCLAF1, and NRXN3) detected in ⩾ 10% of the cases. CD79B mutation was significantly associated with lower PFS, TMSB4X mutation and high expression of TMSB4X protein was associated with lower OS. A prognostic risk scoring system was also established for PCNSL, which included Karnofsky performance status and six mutated genes (BRD4, EBF1, BTG1, CCND3, STAG2, and TMSB4X). Collectively, this study comprehensively reveals the genomic landscape of newly diagnosed Chinese PCNSLs, thereby enriching the present understanding of the genetic mechanisms of PCNSL.

RESUMO

Composite lymphoma (CL) involving B-cell lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma is extremely rare. Herein, we report three such cases using immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and the next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify the pathological and molecular characteristics of CL. In the first case, the patient was admitted to hospital for generalized pruritic maculopapular rash over the whole body. An excisional biopsy of the skin lesions showed T-cell lymphoma. At the same time, the staging bone marrow (BM) biopsy revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). After R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) therapies, the patient produced a good response with substantial dissipation of the rashes and relief of skin. The other two patients were admitted to hospital due to lymphadenopathy and were diagnosed with DLBCL and follicular lymphoma (FL) after core needle biopsy of lymph nodes, BM biopsy, BM aspiration, and flow cytometry. Following R-CHOP and R-COP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone) therapies, they achieved complete remission unconfirmed (CRu) and complete remission (CR). However, one or two years later, they suffered a relapse of lymphadenopathy. The shocking fact was that re-biopsy of lymphadenopathy revealed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). NGS findings identified DNA methyltransferase 3a (DNMT3a), isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2), Ras homolog gene family, member A (RHOA), splicing factor 3B subunit 1 (SF3B1), and tumor protein p53 (TP53) mutations. After immunochemotherapy, these patients achieved CRu and CR again. Nevertheless, they suffered a second relapse of T-cell lymphoma. Finally, they died due to progression of disease. We found that the occurrence of CL is associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection and DNMT3a, IDH2, and TP53 mutations, and the prognosis of the disease is closely related to the T-cell lymphoma components.
