S-vacancy-assisted fast charge transport and oriented ReS growth in twin crystal ZnCdS: an atomic-level heterostructure for dual-functional photocatalytic conversion.

The achievement of dual-functional photocatalytic technology requires a photocatalyst with accelerated charge flow and purposeful active-site arrangement. In this study, we developed an oriented embedding strategy to induce ReS growth at the S vacancy in twin-crystal ZnCdS solid solution (-ZCS), obtaining an atomic-level heterostructure (ReS/-ZCS). The electronic structure calculations demonstrate that the charge density of the Zn atom around the S vacancy is higher than for other Zn atoms and the introduced S vacancy establishes a high-speed channel for electron transport formed Zn-S-Re bonds at the interface between ReS and -ZCS.

Investigation of the Clinical Effect of New Shoulder Joint Abduction Frame in Humeral Fracture Patients after Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery.

Objective: This work is organized to analyze the clinical effects of new shoulder joint abduction frame on the bone metabolic markers, shoulder joint function, and visual analogue scale (VAS) of humeral fracture patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery.

Methods: 118 patients with humeral fracture who planned to undergo shoulder surgery in our hospital from November 2018 to June 2021 were selected as the study objects and were divided into two groups according to the random number method, with 59 patients in each group. The patients in the two groups were subjected to arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Effects of Multimodal Analgesia Combined with Auricular Point Therapy on Physical and Mental Stress and Rehabilitation Quality of Patients with Meniscus Injury during the Perioperative Period.

Objective: To investigate the effect of multimodal analgesia combined with auricular point therapy on physical and mental stress and rehabilitation quality of patients with meniscus injury during the perioperative period.

Methods: 148 patients in our hospital from October 2019 to October 2021 who were scheduled to undergo meniscus surgery were selected and grouped according to the order of file establishment, with 74 cases in each. The control group was given routine analgesia, and the observation group was given multimodal analgesia combined with auricular point therapy.

Syntheses, characterization and properties of two new dodeca-niobates presenting unprecedented features.

Two new dodeca-niobate materials, K3[Nb2O2][H7SiNb12O40]·16H2O (1) and [Cu(en)2]9[(VNb12V1.69Nb0.31O42en0.

Collective excitation of plasmon-coupled Au-nanochain boosts photocatalytic hydrogen evolution of semiconductor.

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) offers a valuable opportunity to improve the efficiency of photocatalysts. However, plasmonic enhancement of photoconversion is still limited, as most of metal-semiconductor building blocks depend on LSPR contribution of isolated metal nanoparticles. In this contribution, the concept of collective excitation of embedded metal nanoparticles is demonstrated as an effective strategy to enhance the utilization of plasmonic energy.

Guanidine -methylation by BlsL Is Dependent on Acylation of Beta-amine Arginine in the Biosynthesis of Blasticidin S.

The peptidyl nucleoside blasticidin S (BS) produced by was the first non-mercurial fungicide used to prevent rice blast and increasingly used as a selection reagent in transgenic study. Acylation by addition of a leucine residue at the beta amine group of arginine side chain of demethylblasticidin S (DBS) has been proposed as a novel self-resistance to the cytotoxic biosynthetic intermediate. But the resultant product leucyldemethylblasticidin S (LDBS) has not been isolated as a metabolite, and LDBS synthetase activity remained to be demonstrated in .

Spatial separation of the hydrogen evolution center from semiconductors using a freestanding silica-sphere-supported Pt composite.

Spatial separation of the reduction center (photosystem I) and oxidation center (photosystem II) is an obvious characteristic of natural photosynthesis. Enlightened by this natural process, a simple material based on silica-sphere-supported Pt nanoparticles (SSP) was designed as a freestanding hydrogen evolution center for semiconductor photocatalysts. In situ photoluminescence characterization showed that the radiation recombination of electron-hole pairs in semiconductors (i.

Plasmonic Au nanoparticles embedding enhances the activity and stability of CdS for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

The activity and stability of CdS for visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution could be significantly enhanced by embedding plasmonic Au nanoparticles. The plasmon resonance energy field of Au nanoparticles could increase the formation rate and lifetime of e(-)/h(+) pairs in CdS semiconductors.

The standalone aminopeptidase PepN catalyzes the maturation of blasticidin S from leucylblasticidin S.

The peptidyl nucleoside blasticidin S (BS) isolated from Streptomyces griseochromogenes was the first non-mercurial fungicide used on a large scale to prevent rice blast. In the biosynthesis of BS, leucylblasticidin S (LBS) was suggested as the penultimate metabolite with 20-fold less inhibitory activity than the final product BS. Incomplete conversion of LBS to BS at a variable efficiency ranging from 10% to 90% was observed either in the native strain S.
