The mediating and moderating effects of resilience on the relationship between sleep quality and psychological distress in Chinese women with infertility.

Background: Research has widely indicated that the psychological distress experienced by infertile patients during fertility treatments may have a negative effect on the results of assisted reproduction. Although numerous studies have shown that psychological resilience and sleep quality are important influencing factors for psychological distress, the mediating mechanisms of psychological resilience in the relationship between sleep quality and psychological distress for Chinese women in particular remain unclear. Therefore, the current study investigates the association between sleep quality, resilience, and psychological distress in Chinese women with infertility and examines the mediating and moderating roles of resilience on the relationship between sleep quality and psychological distress.

Schiff Base Complexes with Covalently Anchored Luminophores: Self-Enhanced Electrochemiluminescence Detection of Neomycin.

A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) amplification strategy was established aiming to overcome the inherent shortcomings of the current oxygen (O) coreactant ECL systems. Macrocyclic Schiff base Fe complexes were rationally designed as a novel integrated ECL emitter by iminium linkage between -(4-aminobutyl)--ethylisoluminol (ABEI) and 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarbaldehyde (PDL) and postmetalation of the macrocyclic Schiff base. Covalently combining luminophore ABEI with a catalytic center endowed the novel ECL emitter with both remarkable redox electrocatalytic properties and significantly enhanced ECL efficiency.

Rational Design of a Highly Dispersed Fe-N-C Nanosheet with 1,10-Phenanthroline-2,9-Dicarboxylic Acid as a Preorganized Ligand: Boosted Electrochemiluminescence Detection of Tetracycline.

In view of the shortcomings of the current coreactant electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and inspired by natural oxygen (O) reduction metalloenzymes, a novel ECL amplification strategy was established. A pyrolytic iron- and nitrogen-doped (Fe-N-C) nanosheet rich in singly ionized oxygen vacancy (V) defects was rationally designed by destroying the highly saturated coordination with a preorganized ligand 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (PDA). Extraordinary catalytic activity for O activation was obtained via screening a special pyrolysis temperature using spectroscopic and electrochemical methods.

Fe-MOGs-based enzyme mimetic and its mediated electrochemiluminescence for in situ detection of HO released from Hela cells.

Enzyme mimetics have attracted wide interest due to their inherent enzyme-like activity and unique physicochemical properties, as well as promising applications in disease diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. Inspired by the attributes of nonheme iron enzymes, synthetic models were designed to mimic their capability and investigate the catalytic mechanisms. Herein, metal-organic gels (Fe-MOGs) with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) like Fe-N structure were successfully synthesized though the coordination between iron and 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (PDA) and exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity.

Increased risk of maternal and neonatal complications in hormone replacement therapy cycles in frozen embryo transfer.

Background: The endometrial preparation during frozen embryo transfer (FET) can be performed by natural cycle (NC), hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle and cycle with ovulation induction (OI). Whether different FET preparation protocols can affect maternal and neonatal outcomes is still inconclusive.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that included 6886 women who delivered singleton live birth babies after 28 weeks of pregnancy underwent FET from January, 2015 to July, 2018.

Uniform and Easy-To-Prepare Glycopolymer-Brush Interface for Rapid Protein (Anti-)Adhesion Sensing.

Glycopolymers have emerged as powerful and versatile glycan analogues for the investigation of cellular signal transduction. In this study, a layer of the glycopolymer-brush (GlyB) interface was functionalized on the surface of gold substrates. In order to enhance the capability and accessibility of this transducer interface, a combined protocol of copper(0)-mediated living radical polymerization (Cu(0)-LRP) with subsequent "CuAAC" click reaction was utilized to synthesize a set of novel glycopolymer precursors with a tunable scaffold structure and pyranose ligands.
