Investigations on the Synthesis of Chiral Ionic-Liquid-Supported Ligands and Corresponding Transition-Metal Catalysts: Strategy and Experimental Schemes.

Ionic liquids have been utilized in numerous significant applications within the field of chemistry, particularly in organic chemistry, due to their unique physical and chemical properties. In the realm of asymmetric transition-metal-catalyzed transformations, chiral ionic-liquid-supported ligands and their corresponding transition-metal complexes have facilitated these processes in unconventional solvents, especially ionic liquids and water. These innovative reaction systems enable the recycling of transition-metal catalysts while producing optically active organic molecules with comparable or even higher levels of chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity compared to their parent catalysts.

A Comprehensive Unit-Based Safety Program to Enhance the Safe Management of Children in an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit.

BACKGROUND: The epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) is an independent unit for video electroencephalogram monitoring of epilepsy patients, with the aim of capturing typical seizure events. Because of the uncontrolled seizure frequency, there may be safety risks for patients, such as falling, trauma, aspiration, status epilepticus, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. This study aims to evaluate the application effect of comprehensive safety projects on safety management in a pediatric EMU.

Changes in the epidemiology of under-5 mortality in China from 2016 to 2022: an observational analysis of population-based surveillance data.

Background: Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.2 aims to end preventable deaths of newborns and children younger than 5 years. China's progress towards SDG 3.

A Case Report of Envafolimab in the Treatment of Microsatellite Stable (MSS) Metastatic Colon Cancer.

Envafolimab is a novel inhibitor for programmed cell death protein-ligand 1 (PD-L1) that can be administered subcutaneously. It has been found to be effective and safe in the treatment of advanced high microsatellite unstable (MSI-H) / mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) solid tumors. Currently, the efficacy of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) / programmed cell death protein-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors in the treatment of microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors is not clear.

Combining internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy and attention bias modification for reducing depressive symptoms in firefighters: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Firefighters are frequently exposed to traumatic events and stressful environments and are at particularly high risk of depressive symptoms.

Aims: The present study aimed to examine the impact of a combined internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) and attention bias modification (ABM) intervention to reduce depressive symptoms in firefighters.

Method: The study was a randomized controlled trial carried out in Kunming, China, and involved the recruitment of 138 active firefighters as participants.

Short term efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor and apatinib plus S-1 and oxaliplatin as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.

Surgical resection is the cornerstone of treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). Hence, downstaging of the tumor with neoadjuvant therapy is critical for R0 resection and prolongs the overall survival. Data from related studies are lacking, and the literature is scarce.

The transcription factor CaBBX10 promotes chlorophyll and carotenoid pigment accumulation in Capsicum annuum fruit.

Chlorophylls and carotenoids are two pivotal photosynthetic pigments directly influencing the economic value of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) fruits. However, the coordinated regulatory mechanisms governing the accumulation of both chlorophylls and carotenoids during pepper fruit development remain elusive.

Novel variants in DNAH9 are present in two infertile patients with severe asthenospermia.

Asthenospermia is a type of sperm that has malformed sperm with movement disorders that lead to male infertility. DNAH9 is a member of the dynein family and a central part of the outer dynein arm of cilia and flagella. DNAH9 gene defects are associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia and ultrastructural abnormalities in ciliary axial ultrastructure.

Ischemic Stroke and the Biological Hallmarks of Aging.

With the advent of an aging population, the study of aging and related research has been increasingly prominent, focusing on how to fully understand and delay aging-a key concern for contemporary medical professionals. Stroke is an acute focal neurological deficit. Globally, ischemic stroke accounts for only 60-70% of all strokes, meanwhile, it is the second leading cause of death.

Temporal trends in the prevalence of major birth defects in China: a nationwide population-based study from 2007 to 2021.

Background: Birth defects constitute a significant public health issue worldwide, yet there is a lack of comprehensive population-based data for the Chinese population.

Methods: We analyzed data from the China National Population-based Birth Defects Surveillance System from 2007 to 2021, we calculated the prevalence rates of selected birth defects, stratified by maternal residence, geographic region, maternal age, and infant sex. The Joinpoint regression model was utilized to assess trends and annual percent changes in prevalence.

Sex-Dependent Rhizosphere Microbial Dynamics and Function in through Floral and Fruit Development.

Male , which display distinct morphological and physiological traits, exhibit greater adaptability to stressful environments than females. However, the connection between this adaptability and rhizosphere processes remains unclear. Here, we investigate the differences in root bacterial community structures between male and female plants at different developmental stages, identifying bacterial strains associated with plant sex through functional predictions.

Mo-doped carbon-dots nanozyme with peroxide-like activity for sensitive and selective smartphone-assisted colorimetric S ion detection and antibacterial application.

Sulfur ion (S) plays a significant and considerable role in many living organisms and ecosystems, while its abnormal content can pose a serious hazard to human health and ecological environment. Hence, it is extremely meaningful to construct a highly sensitive and selective analytical platform for S detection in complex microenvironment, particularly in biological systems. In this study, phosphomolybdic acid and L-Arg were utilized to prepare a new molybdenum doped carbon-dots nanozyme (Mo-CDs) with great peroxidase-like activity by one-step hydrothermal approach.
