Revisiting the Environment Effect on Mass Transfer for Heterogenized Pd Ru Metal-Organic Cage Photocatalyst Confined within 3D Matrix.

Artificial light-driven splitting of water into hydrogen involves multiple links to emulate natural photosynthesis, including light absorption, electron or energy transfer, surface catalysis et al., in which, the mass transportation of sacrificial reagent and reactant is always ignored. Metal-organic cage (MOC) of Pd Ru (MOC-16), assembling multiple photosensitive Ru and catalytic Pd concomitant with directional electron transfer between them, provides an opportunity to explore the environmental effects from the view point of mass transportation without disturbance of other links.

Risk factors for the mortality of hemodialysis patients with COVID-19: A multicenter study from the overall hemodialysis population in Wuhan.

Introduction: Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients are highly threatened in the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, but evidence of risk factors for mortality in this population is still lacking.

Methods: We followed outcomes of the overall MHD population of Wuhan, including 7154 MHD patients from 65 hemodialysis centers, from January 1 to May 4, 2020. Among them, 130 were diagnosed with COVID-19.

Bed-sided short-duration renal replacement therapy provide a possible option to treat non-critical coronavirus disease 2019 in maintenance hemodialysis patients in public health crisis.

HD care may experience great stress with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A modified HD modality named bed-sided short-duration renal replacement therapy (BSRRT) was used in noncritical maintenance HD (MHD) patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Wuhan due to extreme situation. To determine the safety and efficacy as a substitution for intermittent HD (IHD), we conducted this study.

Serologic Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Infections in Hemodialysis Centers: A Multicenter Retrospective Study in Wuhan, China.

Rationale & Objective: Patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) are highly vulnerable to infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The current study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection based on both nucleic acid testing (NAT) and antibody testing in Chinese patients receiving MHD.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Clinical Characteristics of and Medical Interventions for COVID-19 in Hemodialysis Patients in Wuhan, China.

Background: Reports indicate that those most vulnerable to developing severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are older adults and those with underlying illnesses, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease, which are common comorbidities among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. However, there is limited information about the clinical characteristics of hemodialysis patients with COVID-19 or about interventions to control COVID-19 in hemodialysis centers.

Methods: We collected data retrospectively through an online registration system that includes all patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis at 65 centers in Wuhan, China.

Association of Serum Uric Acid Concentration and Its Change with Cardiovascular Death and All-Cause Mortality.

Objective: There is no consensus on the role of abnormal uric acid (UA) levels in the prognosis of patients undergoing hemodialysis. We therefore aimed to investigate the effects of changes in UA concentration on the risk of all-cause death and cardiac death in such patients.

Method: In this retrospective cohort study, patients admitted to two hemodialysis centers performing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) in Wuhan First Hospital and Fourth Hospital Hemodialysis Center from January 1, 2007, to October 31, 2017, were included.

Heterogenization of Photochemical Molecular Devices: Embedding a Metal-Organic Cage into a ZIF-8-Derived Matrix To Promote Proton and Electron Transfer.

Application of a molecular catalyst in artificial photosynthesis is confronted with challenges such as rapid deactivation due to photodegradation or detrimental aggregation in harsh conditions. In this work, a metal-organic cage [Pd(RuL)] (MOC-16), characteristic of a photochemical molecular device (PMD) concurrently integrating eight Ru light-harvesting centers and six Pd catalytic centers for efficient homogeneous H production, is successfully heterogenized through incorporation into a metal-organic framework (MOF) of ZIF-8 and then transformed into a carbonate matrix of Zn(MeIm)(CO) (CZIF), leading to hybridized MOC-16@CZIF. This MOC@MOF integrated photocatalyst inherits a highly efficient and directional electron transfer in the picosecond domain of MOC-16 and possesses one order increased microsecond magnitude of the triplet excited-state electron in comparison to that of the primitive MOC-16.

Salen supported Al-O-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]P and Ga-P[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]O complexes.

The first OCP adducts of aluminium and gallium are reported. The complexes are supported by sterically encumbered salen ligands and reveal a selective binding to O and P, respectively. Their reactivity with diazaphosphenium Lewis acids and N-heterocyclic carbene Lewis bases is described, in addition to cycloaddition reactions with s-tetrazines.

Simple Synthesis of Functionalized 2-Phosphanaphthalenes.

A simple synthesis of sodium 2-phosphanaphthalene-3-olate (1) based on the extrusion of N from phthalazine using Na[OCP] is reported. This heterocycle can be readily functionalized at the negatively charged oxygen center using a variety of electrophilic substrates. The coordination chemistry of both 1 and its neutral derivatives was explored, revealing their facile use as P-donor ligands for late-transition-metal complexes.

Renal tuberculosis and iliopsoas abscess: Two case reports.

The urinary system is the second most commonly affected site of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Due to the diverse and atypical clinical manifestations of urinary TB, the disease is easy to misdiagnose. In the present study, two cases of renal TB are reported, which had completely different clinical manifestations.

[Transurethral prostatectomy with the bipolar plasmakinetic technique for benign prostate hyperplasia: a report of 712 cases].
