Financial resource curse and firms' accessibility to financing in resource-based countries.

This study delves into the paradox of the financial resource curse, exploring how the abundance of natural resources in a country paradoxically constrains firms' accessibility to financing. Despite the potential economic boon natural resources represent, evidence suggests that they can lead to less diversified economies, making it challenging for firms outside the resource sector to access financing. Our research aims to dissect this phenomenon by analyzing microeconomic statistics on the financial accessibility of enterprises, juxtaposed with macroeconomic statistics across 170 countries, encompassing over 10,000 firms surveyed from 1990 to 2022.

Crystal structure and characterization of monascin from the extracts of Monascus purpureus-fermented rice.

We present a novel solid form of monascin, an azaphilonoid derivative extracted from Monascus purpureus-fermented rice. The crystal structure, CHO, was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and belongs to the orthorhombic space group P222. To gain insight into the electronic properties of the short contacts in the crystalline state of monascin, we utilized the Experimental Library of Multipolar Atom Model 2 (ELMAM2) database to transfer the electron density of monascin in its crystalline state.

Sensitivity enhancement of magneto-optical Faraday effect immunoassay method based on biofunctionalized γ-FeO@Au core-shell magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles for the blood detection of Alzheimer's disease.

In this work, we conducted a proof-of-concept experiment based on biofunctionalized magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles (MPNs) and magneto-optical Faraday effect for in vitro Alzheimer's disease (AD) assay. The biofunctionalized γ-FeO@Au MPNs of which the surfaces are modified with the antibody of Tau protein (anti-τ). As anti-τ reacts with Tau protein, biofunctionalized MPNs aggregate to form magnetic clusters which will hence induce the change of the reagent's Faraday rotation angle.

Effect of ErhBMP-2-loaded β-tricalcium phosphate on ulna defects in the osteoporosis rabbit model.

Purpose: Autografts, the gold standard treatment for large bone defects, present complications, especially in conditions with reduced bone-repair capacity, such as osteoporosis. -derived recombinant human bone morphogenesis protein-2 (ErhBMP-2), was used in this study to improve the osteoinductivity of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). This study evaluated the bone-repair capacity of ErhBMP-2-loaded β-TCP on osteoporosis rabbit model, relative to the sole use of autograft and β-TCP treatments.

ACE2 and Furin Expressions in Oral Epithelial Cells Possibly Facilitate COVID-19 Infection via Respiratory and Fecal-Oral Routes.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that mainly transfers from human to human via respiratory and gastrointestinal routes. The S-glycoprotein in the virus is the key factor for the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into the cell, which contains two functional domains: S1 is an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor binding domain, and S2 is necessary for fusion of the coronavirus and cell membranes. Moreover, it has been reported that ACE2 is likely to be the receptor for SARS-CoV-2.

Supramolecular structure, in vivo biological activities and molecular-docking-based potential cardiotoxic exploration of aconine hydrochloride monohydrate as a novel salt form.

Despite the high profile of aconine in WuTou injection, there has been no preparative technology or structural studies of its salt as the pharmaceutical product. The lack of any halide salt forms is surprising as aconine contains a tertiary nitrogen atom. In this work, aconine was prepared from the degradation of aconitine in Aconiti kusnezoffii radix (CaoWu).

Endovascular Repair for Retrograde Type A Intramural Haematoma with Intimal Tear in the Descending Thoracic Aorta.

Objective: The current treatment for acute retrograde type A intramural haematoma (IMH) remains challenging. Aortic remodelling in both the ascending aorta (AA) and descending thoracic aorta (DTA) was evaluated and the 30 day and mid term outcomes were determined in patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) for retrograde type A IMH with a primary intimal tear or ulcer like projection in the DTA METHODS: This was a retrospective, multicentre observational study. Clinical data, including post-operative mortality and adverse event, aorta related re-intervention, aortic remodelling, and the survival rate of 18 non-consecutive patients with acute retrograde type A IMH undergoing TEVAR between June 2006 and March 2018 were reviewed.

Constructing a Risk Prediction Model for Lung Cancer Recurrence by Using Gene Function Clustering and Machine Learning.

Objective: A significant proportion of patients with early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be cured by surgery. The distant metastasis of tumors is the most common cause of treatment failure. Precisely predicting the likelihood that a patient develops distant metastatic risk will help identify patients who can further intervene, such as conventional adjuvant chemotherapy or experimental drugs.

Endoscopic Harvest of Autogenous Gracilis and Semitendinosus Tendons.

The hamstring autograft is one of the most popular grafts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Although many techniques for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring autografts have been invented, hamstring harvest techniques have not been focused. Hamstrings are harvested using an open technique that requires a 2- to 5-cm skin incision.
