Unravelling intrinsic descriptors based on a two-stage activity regulation of bimetallic 2D c-MOFs for CORR.

The bimetallic 2D conductive MOFs of MPc-M-O, possessing dual metal sites to realize flexible molecular-level structural modification, are brilliant catalysts for electrochemical CO reduction. However, the bimetallic centers bring about the complex regulatory mechanism of catalytic activity and obscure principles for catalyst design. Herein, systematical theoretical investigation unravels intrinsic descriptors to design favorable MPc-M-O catalysts based on the discovered coarse-fine two-stage activity regulation mechanism.

microRNA-218 expression and its association with the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with cervical cancer.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of microRNA-218 (miRNA-218) in the serum and cervical tissue and its association with the clinicopathological features of cervical cancer (CC). The expression of miRNA-218 was detected in the serum and cervical tissue of 112 patients with CC and 50 age-matched hysteromyoma patients via the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The clinical data were collected and the association between the expression of miRNA-218 and the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients was analyzed.
