The Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) was embedded in the metal-organic framework, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), and applied in the enzymatic synthesis of L-ascorbic acid palmitate (ASP) for the first time. The obtained CALB@ZIF-8 achieved the enzyme loading of 80 mg g with 11.3 U g (dry weight) unit activity, 59.

- Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) helps protect the kidneys from damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), although the exact mechanisms are still not fully understood.* -
- In a study with male Sprague-Dawley rats, different treatment groups were established to assess how IPC affects renal function, blood flow, and key nitric oxide synthase levels following vascular clamping.* -
- Results showed that IPC significantly improved kidney function and blood flow, linked to increased levels of endothelial and inducible nitric oxide synthase (eNOS/iNOS) and nitric oxide (NO), though these benefits were negated when nitric oxide production was inhibited.*
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effect of high-dose erythropoietin (EPO) on kidney graft function after transplantation, aiming to clarify its efficacy due to inconclusive findings from previous trials.
- A meta-analysis of 4 randomized controlled trials involving 356 patients showed a trend towards reduced delayed graft function in the EPO group, but it wasn't statistically significant.
- The results suggest that while high-dose EPO might help protect kidney function, it does not significantly raise the risk of adverse events compared to placebo.
Article Synopsis
- Human cancers rely on vascularization for growth, invasion, and metastasis, with endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) playing a key role in this process.
- Recent studies show an increase in circulating EPCs (CEPCs) in cancer patients, linking their levels to clinical outcomes and making them a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis.
- The review emphasizes the need for improved detection methods and more extensive clinical research to better understand the role and significance of CEPCs in cancer treatment and outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the situation of realizing schistosomiasis transmission control in Jiangxi Province.
Methods: The situation of reaching the criteria of schistosomiasis transmission control was evaluated by using the method of field surveys combined with retrospective investigations.
Results: The schistosome infection in human was kept at a stable low level, and the infection rate in residents was below 1% in 90.
