The landmark discovery of gold catalysts has aroused substantial interest in heterogeneous catalysis, yet the catalytic mechanism remains elusive. For carbon monoxide oxidation on gold nanoparticles (NPs) supported on ceria surfaces, it is widely believed that carbon monoxide adsorbs on the gold particles, while the reaction occurs at the gold/ceria interface. Here, we have investigated the dynamic changes of supported gold NPs with various sizes in a carbon monoxide oxidation atmosphere using deep potential molecular dynamics simulations.

This study employed the methods of serum chemistry, in vivo drug distribution analysis, and network pharmacology to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of Bufei Pills on respiratory disorders and decipher the underlying mechanisms. For the in vivo distribution study, rats were administrated with Bufei Pills, and the absorbed components were analyzed by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The results showed that 56 components were present in the rat serum, including neocyclomorusin, asterinin A, neoisostegane, goimisin R, and frehmaglutoside H.

Cerebral small vessel disease encompasses a group of neurological disorders characterized by injury to small blood vessels, often leading to stroke and dementia. Due to its diverse etiologies and complex pathological mechanisms, preventing and treating cerebral small vessel vasculopathy is challenging. Recent studies have shown that the glymphatic system plays a crucial role in interstitial solute clearance and the maintenance of brain homeostasis.

Mumefural (MF), the primary functional ingredient of prunus mume extract that enhances blood fluidity, is produced by boiling the prunus mume juice for 24-48 h in a traditional one-step concentration process. Low MF yields and long processing time are two disadvantages of this process. This study introduced microwaves into the traditional one-step concentration process of prunus mume extract for increasing MF content.

Urban topsoil is not only an essential part of the urban ecosystem, but also a powerful carrier of pollutants in the urban environment. In this paper, 130 topsoil samples from urban area of Xinyang in central-eastern China were selected, the aim is to quantitatively investigate the concentrations, pollution levels, and sources apportionment of 8 heavy metals (HMs, encompassing arsenic (As), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), vanadium (V), and zinc (Zn)) via geochemical method. The main conclusions are as follows.

Background: The association between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score and all-cause mortality in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remains unknown.

Methods: This population-based prospective cohort study analyzed data of participants aged 20-79 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2018, with linked mortality information until 2019. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between different cardiovascular health (CVH) scores and all-cause mortality in participants with MASLD.

  • Extragenital Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are common among men who have sex with men (MSM), and self-sampling may provide easier access to testing for those hesitant to visit health clinics.
  • A study conducted in China compared the diagnostic accuracy of self-collected specimens to clinician-taken specimens, analyzing samples from 325 participants at six STI clinics.
  • The findings demonstrated high agreement and sensitivity of self-sampling for both CT and NG infections, with 62% of MSM showing a preference for self-sampling, indicating it’s an acceptable alternative to traditional clinician-based testing.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is currently the second most common degenerative neurological disorder globally, with aspiration pneumonia caused by difficulty swallowing being the deadliest complication. The patient's subjective experience and the safety of swallowing have been the main focus of previous evaluations and treatment plans. The effectiveness of treatment may be attributed to the brain's ability to adapt and compensate.

During endosomal recycling, Sorting Nexin 17 (SNX17) facilitates the transport of numerous membrane cargo proteins by tethering them to the Retriever complex. Despite its importance, the mechanisms underlying this interaction have remained elusive. Here, we provide biochemical, structural, cellular, and proteomic analyses of the SNX17-Retriever interaction.
