Exploring the Analgesic Efficacy and mechanisms of low-dose esketamine in pregnant women undergoing cesarean section: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Postoperative pain is a prevalent concern following a cesarean section. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of low-dose (0.1 mg/kg) esketamine on postoperative pain management in pregnant women undergoing cesarean sections, specifically in cases where both patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) and patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) were employed.

Discovering Facet-Dependent Formation Kinetics of Key Intermediates in Electrochemical Ammonia Oxidation by a Electrochemiluminescence Active Probe.

Facile evaluation of formation kinetics of key intermediate is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of electrochemical ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) mechanisms and the design of efficient electrocatalysts. Currently, elucidating the formation kinetics of key intermediate associated with rate-determining step is still challenging. Herein, 4-phtalamide-N-(4'-methylcoumarin) naphthalimide (CF) is developed as a molecular probe to detect NH intermediate during AOR via electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and further investigated the formation kinetics of NH on Pt catalysts with different crystal planes.

Energy controllable steep pulse (ECSP) treatment suppresses tumor growth in rats implanted with Walker 256 carcinosarcoma cells through apoptosis and an antitumor immune response.

Electrochemotherapy has been widely used for the treatment of solid tumors, although the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of energy controllable steep pulse (ECSP) on the regulation of tumor growth and apoptosis in rats implanted with Walker 256 carcinosarcoma cells. A rat tumor model was established by injection of Walker 256 carcinosarcoma cells into the inguinal area.

[Synthesis and anti-active oxygen properties of water-soluble metal porphyrins].

Aim: To synthesize four water-soluble metal porphyrins [5, 10, 15, 20-tetra[4-(4'-pyridine-1) butyloxy phenyl] metalloporphyrins bromide, metal = Zn (I), Cu (II), Mn (III) and Co (IV)] as analogous enzyme having two anti-active oxygen functions.

Methods: The first function, scavenging O2-, has been proved by using riboflavine-methionine photoreduction methods. The second function, scavenging H2O2, has been demonstrated by using the oxidating Vit C.
