In proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE), catalysts for acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) that demonstrate high current density and stability are essential. Herein, we synthesized La-doped RuO (La-RuO@TM) nanorod composite catalysts in situ on titanium mesh (TM) using a one-step low-temperature pyrolysis method. La-RuO@TM displays excellent catalytic performance (1.

In this study, we focused on the hydrogenation reaction of naphthalene and employed density functional theory calculations to investigate the specific influence of electronic effects triggered by the coregulation of Ni and sulfur edge engineering on the hydrogenation performance of Ni-doped MoS at different edge sulfur coverages (Ni-MoS-X-θ). Our findings reveal that the interaction between Ni and S in the catalyst matrix material modifies the local electronic structure surrounding the sulfur atoms in the active site.

Objectives: The authors aimed to specifically examine outcomes in the complex angiographic lesions subgroup.
Methods: From the original trial population (N = 2,487), high-risk patients without complex angiographic lesions were excluded (n = 514).
The solvent deasphalting (SDA) process is widely recognized as a significant technology in processing inferior oil. However, de-oiled asphaltene (DOA), which accounts for about 30% of feedstocks, is not well utilized in conventional processing methods to date. Considering its complicated structure and high heteroatom and metal contents, DOA is suitable for preparing amorphous carbon.

Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to investigate the properties and mechanisms of the analgesia of PPⅥ by using neuropathic pain (NPP) mice.
Materials And Methods: The potential targets and mechanisms of PPⅥ in alleviating NPP were excavated based on the network pharmacology.
Tri-Circulator (TC) is a product comprising coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Panax notoginseng. Individually, each of these constituents has demonstrated protective effects on myocardial injury. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the protective efficacy of TC on heart function and compare the differential effects between CoQ10 and TC.

Materials And Methods: Data of thirty-three patients with AVB and HCC undergoing emergent TIPS creation from January 2016 to January 2022 were enrolled and were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcomes were the safety of emergent TIPS creation, the bleeding control rate, and the rebleeding rate.
Graphite is nowadays commonly used as the main component of anode materials of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). It is essential to deeply investigate the fundamentals of artificial graphite to obtain excellent anode, especially crystal structure and electronic properties. In this report, a series of graphite with different crystal structure were synthesized and used for anodes of LIBs.

Although multiple proteases and enzymes involved in post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins regulate leukocyte recruitment, an unbiased functional screen of enzymes regulating inflammatory leukocyte recruitment has yet to be undertaken. Here, using a zebrafish tail fin amputation (TFA) model to screen a chemical library consisting of 295 compounds that target proteases and PTM enzymes, we identified multiple histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors that modulate inflammatory neutrophil recruitment.

Background: BCR-ABL1-based resistance to imatinib, mainly resulting from BCR-ABL1 mutations, is largely solved after second- and third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are discovered. Nonetheless, imatinib resistance without BCR-ABL1 mutations, including intrinsic resistance induced by stem cells within chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), remains the major clinical challenge for many patients.
Purpose: To study the key active ingredients and corresponding target proteins in Huang-Lian-Jie-Du-Tang (HLJDT) against BCR-ABL1-independent CML resistance to therapeutics, and then explore its mechanism of against CML drug resistance.
A large proportion of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML; 20%-50%) develop resistance to imatinib in a BCR-ABL1-independent manner. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies for use in this subset of imatinib-resistant CML patients are urgently needed. In this study, we used a multi-omics approach to show that was targeted by miR-181a.
