Replacing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) in conjunction with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) offers a feasible and environmentally friendly approach for handling urea-rich wastewater and generating energy-saving hydrogen. However, the deactivation and detachment of active sites in powder electrocatalysts reported hitherto present significant challenges to achieving high efficiency and sustainability in energy-saving hydrogen production. Herein, a self-supported bimetallic nickel manganese metal-organic framework (NiMn-MOF) nanosheet and its derived heterostructure composed of NiMn-MOF decorated with ultrafine Pt nanocrystals (Pt/NiMn-MOF) are rationally designed.

Utilizing network pharmacology and bioinformatics methods, this research aims to provide modern medical evidence for the theory of treating different diseases with the same method in traditional Chinese medicine.
Methods: Omnibus from Swiss Target Prediction, TCMSP, SuperPred, SEA, HIT, CTD, TCMIP and Gene Expression Disease datasets for resveratrol related genes, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease were obtained from the GEO database.
Aim: To develop an autophagy-gene-based signature that could help to anticipate the therapeutic effects of Colorectal Cancer (CRC).
Methods: We downloaded the gene expression profiles of CRC samples from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. Genes with significant prognostic value in CRC were screened through univariate Cox regression analysis, while the LASSO Cox regression method was applied to screen optimal genes to construct the autophagy-related prognostic signature.
MicroRNA (miRNA) exerts an important part in colon cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. Meanwhile, the dysregulation of some miRNAs is detected in colon cancer cells. However, it remains unclear about the underlying mechanism of their effects on tumor pathogenesis.

Differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified between metastatic CRC and non-metastatic CRC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas Database (TCGA) using the edgeR package. The differentially expressed lncRNAs with prognosis of patients with CRC metastasis were identified by univariate Cox regression analysis, followed by a stepwise multivariate Cox regression model.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are ubiquitous transcripts that play key roles in regulating gene expression at the levels of transcription, RNA processing, and translation. Aberrant expression and mutations of lncRNAs represent a driving force behind oncogenesis and development of tumours. However, most of the lncRNAs are still being undiscovered, and conclusive experimental evidence for their functional relevance continues to be lacking for most malignancies.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently emerged as important biomarkers of cancer progression. Here, we proposed to develop a lncRNA-based signature with a prognostic value for colorectal cancer (CRC) overall survival (OS). Through mining microarray datasets, we analyzed the lncRNA expression profiles of 122 patients with CRC from Gene Expression Omnibus.
