Humidity Induced Proton-Electron Conducting Metal-Organic Frameworks of M(Hexaiminobenzene) (M = Ni, Cu, Fe) for Highly Sensitivity Drug Precursor Chemicals Gases Detection.

Exploiting high-performance gas sensors is desirable for the on-site and accurate detection of drug precursor chemical gases. Here, the electron-proton conductivity metal-organic frameworks M(HIB) were designed to discriminate typical drug precursor chemical gases. The strong d-π conjugation and substantial HO ligands in M(HIB) generate conducting pathways for electrons and protons, which contribute to novel gas-sensing properties.

Gas Sensing Properties of Indium-Oxide-Based Field-Effect Transistor: A Review.

Excellent stability, low cost, high response, and sensitivity of indium oxide (InO), a metal oxide semiconductor, have been verified in the field of gas sensing. Conventional InO gas sensors employ simple and easy-to-manufacture resistive components as transducers. However, the swift advancement of the Internet of Things has raised higher requirements for gas sensors based on metal oxides, primarily including lowering operating temperatures, improving selectivity, and realizing integrability.

Association between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to tuberculosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Previous studies have reported that TB susceptibility can be caused by vitamin D deficiency, which is affected by polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor () gene. However, these results have been inconsistent.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and prognostic nutritional index in predicting composite endpoint of early safety following transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Background: The incidence of composite endpoint of early safety (CEES) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been a topic of focus within the cardiovascular field due to its impact on long-term patient outcomes. Timely prophylactic interventions are crucial for patients identified as high risk for CEES through preoperative risk stratification.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the connection between inflammatory and nutritional markers, specifically the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and CEES occurrence.

Enhancing Lithium-Ion Battery Health Predictions by Hybrid-Grained Graph Modeling.

Predicting the health status of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for ensuring safety. The prediction process typically requires inputting multiple time series, which exhibit temporal dependencies. Existing methods for health status prediction fail to uncover both coarse-grained and fine-grained temporal dependencies between these series.

Advances in Synthesis and Applications of Single-Atom Catalysts for Metal Oxide-Based Gas Sensors.

As a stable, low-cost, environment-friendly, and gas-sensitive material, semiconductor metal oxides have been widely used for gas sensing. In the past few years, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have gained increasing attention in the field of gas sensing with the advantages of maximized atomic utilization and unique electronic and chemical properties and have successfully been applied to enhance the detection sensitivity and selectivity of metal oxide gas sensors. However, the application of SACs in gas sensors is still in its infancy.

Pulsatile flow increases METTL14-induced m 6 A modification and attenuates septic cardiomyopathy: an experimental study.

Introduction: Septic cardiomyopathy is a sepsis-mediated cardiovascular complication with severe microcirculatory malperfusion. Emerging evidence has highlighted the protective effects of pulsatile flow in case of microcirculatory disturbance, yet the underlying mechanisms are still elusive. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A) modification in the alleviation of septic cardiomyopathy associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-generated pulsatile flow.

Association between Weight-Adjusted Waist Index and depressive symptoms: A nationally representative cross-sectional study from NHANES 2005 to 2018.

Background: Depressive symptoms are strongly associated with the development of various diseases and are one of the leading causes of disability in the world. However, the relationship between weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and depressive symptoms has not been studied. This study aimed to assess the relationship between depressive symptoms and WWI.

Progress of epigenetic modification of SATB2 gene in the pathogenesis of non-syndromic cleft lip and palate.

Non-syndromic Cleft Lip and Palate (NSCLP) is one of the most common congenital craniofacial malformations. However, there is no enough knowledge about its mechanism, even through many relevant studies verify that cleft lip and palate is caused by interactions between environmental and genetic factors. SATB2 gene is one of the most common candidate genes of NSCLP, and the development of epigenetics provides a new direction on pathogenesis of cleft lip and palate.

Higher weight-adjusted waist index is associated with increased likelihood of kidney stones.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and the prevalence of kidney stones among adults in the United States.

Methods: The cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning the years 2007-2018. A total of 31,344 participants were categorized into two groups: those with kidney stones and those without.

Case report: Surgical strategies of a giant thrombus from the ascending aorta to the arch.

Large mural thrombi in the relatively normal ascending aorta are extremely uncommon conditions that may lead to major adverse cardiovascular events due to new embolism. Because of their changeable variations, the management of these unstable thrombi is challenging and controversial. The size, morphology, location, embolic involvement, and patients' conditions are all crucial for therapeutic decision-making.

Progression of bilateral morning glory syndrome associated with unilateral persistent fetal vasculture: A case report of long term follow-up in an infant.

Purpose: To describe a case of Bilateral Morning Glory Syndrome (MGS) associated with Unilateral Persistent Fetal Vasculature (PFV) in a 3-day old neonate.

Observations: A 3-day-old neonate was found bilateral retinal abnormalities due to neonatal eye screening. Dilated fundus exam showed bilateral optic disc dysplasia with the persistent hyaloid vessels in right eye at first.

Characterization of neuroendocrine regulation- and metabolism-associated molecular features and prognostic indicators with aid to clinical chemotherapy and immunotherapy of patients with pancreatic cancer.

The worldwide prevalence of pancreatic cancer has been rising in recent decades, and its prognosis has not improved much. The imbalance of substance and energy metabolism in tumour cells is among the primary causes of tumour formation and occurrence, which is often controlled by the neuroendocrine system. We applied Cox and LASSO regression analysis to develop a neuroendocrine regulation- and metabolism-related prognostic risk score model with three genes (GSK3B, IL18 and VEGFA) for pancreatic cancer.

EEG Emotion Recognition Applied to the Effect Analysis of Music on Emotion Changes in Psychological Healthcare.

Music therapy is increasingly being used to promote physical health. Emotion semantic recognition is more objective and provides direct awareness of the real emotional state based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Therefore, we proposed a music therapy method to carry out emotion semantic matching between the EEG signal and music audio signal, which can improve the reliability of emotional judgments, and, furthermore, deeply mine the potential influence correlations between music and emotions.
