Conformational Landscape of NADH and Ion Binding in Water/DMSO Mixtures via P NMR Spectroscopy.

This study reports on the conformational states of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) in water/DMSO mixtures and examines the influence of ion binding. We observe evidence of conformational changes through a series of NMR techniques, including P NMR relaxation ( and ), chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST), and diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) experiments. The observed variation of the conformational states is indicative of the solvent's influence on NADH's structural flexibility.

Relationships between disease severity, psychological stress, and health-related quality of life among patients with acute coronary syndrome: mediation of illness perception.

Aims: Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) often experience reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL), which may be attributable to the disease severity and psychological stress. While illness perception is speculated to be a potential pathway underlying these relationships, evidence supporting this mechanism remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between disease severity, psychological stress, and HRQOL and whether these relationships are mediated by illness perception in patients with ACS.

Depressive and anxiety symptoms and illness perception among patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Aims: To evaluate the features of depressive and anxiety symptoms and illness perception and their associations in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Design: Secondary analysis of data from a cross-sectional study and baseline data from a randomized controlled trial.

Methods: From June to July 2019 and June to September 2020, patients with ACS in four public hospitals in China completed measurements of depressive and anxiety symptoms, illness perception, and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.

Vasomotor symptoms, cardiovascular risk factors, and cardiovascular disease risk among Chinese postmenopausal women in Hong Kong.

Vasomotor symptoms are frequently reported by postmenopausal women and linked with unfavorable changes in cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting a likely association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of and associations between vasomotor symptoms, cardiovascular risk factors, and CVD risk among Chinese postmenopausal women. From March 2018 to August 2019, a convenience sample of 288 postmenopausal women who experienced natural menopause for ≥12 months were recruited from district centers of women associations in Hong Kong.

Reversible Diels-Alder Addition to Fullerenes: A Study of Dimethylanthracene with H@C.

The study of isolated atoms or molecules inside a fullerene cavity provides a unique environment. It is likely to control the outer carbon cage and study the isolated species when molecules or atoms are trapped inside a fullerene. We report the Diels-Alder addition reaction of 9,10-dimethyl anthracene (DMA) to H@C while H NMR spectroscopy is utilized to characterize the Diels-Alder reaction of the DMA with the fullerene.

Aged landfill leachate enhances anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is considered as a sustainable pathway to recover energy from organic wastes, but the digestive efficiency for waste activated sludge (WAS) is not as expected due to the limitations in WAS hydrolysis. This study proposes an effective strategy to simultaneously treat WAS and landfill leachate, aiming to promote WAS hydrolysis and enhance organics converting to methane. The effects of landfill leachate on the four stages (i.

Co-digestive performance of food waste and hydrothermal pretreated corn cob.

Anaerobic co-digestion of lignocellulosic biomass and food waste (FW) has been extensively applied. However, whether hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP) of lignocellulosic biomass can enhance the performance in co-digestion deserves further investigation. In this study, corn cob (CC) was adopted as a typical lignocellulosic biomass for co-digestion with FW at different VS ratios of 1:3 (S1-S4) and 1:6 (S5-S8), attempting to evaluate the effect of HTP of CC at different temperature gradients (125, 150 and 175 °C) on the co-digestion performance.
