Aqueous stability is a critical property for the application of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials in humid conditions. The sampling of the free energy surface for a water reaction is challenging due to a lack of a reactive force field. Here, we developed a ReaxFF force field for simulating the reaction of zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) with water.

Objectives: Caspase-3 is one of the most important molecules in the apoptosis cascade, and the relationship between caspase-3 expression and prognosis has been reported in many types of malignancies. However, the involvement of caspase-3 in human gastric carcinoma is not fully understood. We evaluated caspase-3 expression in human gastric carcinoma to clarify the clinicopathological importance and investigated the apoptosis avoidance mechanism by an immunohistological method.
