[Translational Research on Pre-eclampsia with Existing Drugs Targeting Antioxidant Molecules].

Pre-eclampsia, a type of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), is characterized by hypertension and organ dysfunction that develops or worsens after 20 weeks of gestation. Although symptomatic management using antihypertensive medications has been adopted, definitive treatments other than pregnancy termination remain unavailable to halt disease progression. Research on heme oxygenase (HO)-1, a molecule with anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, has shown that a pharmacological increase in placental HO-1 expression and activity may ameliorate this condition; therefore, HO-1 is a promising therapeutic target for this disorder.

Animacy processing by distributed and interconnected networks in the temporal cortex of monkeys.

Animacy perception, the ability to discern living from non-living entities, is crucial for survival and social interaction, as it includes recognizing abstract concepts such as movement, purpose, and intentions. This process involves interpreting cues that may suggest the intentions or actions of others. It engages the temporal cortex (TC), particularly the superior temporal sulcus (STS) and the adjacent region of the inferior temporal cortex (ITC), as well as the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC).

Spontaneous theory of mind in autism: are anticipatory gaze and reaction time biases consistent?

Background: Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit persistent deficits in social interaction and communication in adulthood. Pioneering studies have suggested that these difficulties arise from a lack of immediate, spontaneous mentalizing (i.e.

Ultrafast Luminescence Detection with Selective Adsorption of Carbon Disulfide in a Gold(I) Metal-Organic Framework.

Although a widely used and important industrial chemical, carbon disulfide (CS) poses a number of hazards due to its volatility and toxicity. As such, the development of multifunctional materials for the selective capture and easy recognition of CS is one of the crucial issues. Herein, we demonstrate completely selective CS adsorption among trials involving HO, alcohols, volatile organic compounds (including thiol derivatives), N, H, O, CH, CO, NO, and CO.

Synthesis of substituent-free dioxadiaza[8]circulene to investigate intermolecular interactions and photophysical properties.

Peripherally unsubstituted dioxadiaza[8]circulene, as the first example of structurally identified pristine hetero[8]circulene, was synthesized by the substituent detachment reactions. The solid-state structures and photophysical properties were analysed to elucidate intermolecular interactions. Herzberg-Teller type emission was considered to explain the optical behavior.
