Precise Measurement of the e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} Cross Section at Center-of-Mass Energies from Threshold to 4.95 GeV.

Using the e^{+}e^{-} collision data collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, at center-of-mass energies from the threshold to 4.95 GeV, we present precise measurements of the cross section for the process e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} using a single-tag method. The resulting cross section line shape exhibits several new structures, thereby offering an input for a future coupled-channel analysis and model tests, which are critical to understand vector charmonium-like states with masses between 4 and 5 GeV.

Low folate biomarker concentrations are associated with increase the risk and severity of periodontitis in adults: A cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2014.

We sought to test the hypothesis that adult folate biomarker concentrations are negatively associated with the risk and severity of periodontitis. Data were pooled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009 to 2014. A total of 9252 dentate adult subjects aged 30 years and older who received a periodontal examination and had complete folate biomarker data were included in the analysis.

The lean body mass to visceral fat mass ratio is negatively associated with cardiometabolic disorders: a cross-sectional study.

The literature has documented conflicting and inconsistent associations between muscle-to-fat ratios and metabolic diseases. Additionally, different adipose tissues can have contrasting effects, with visceral adipose tissue being identified as particularly harmful. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the ratio of the lean mass index (LMI) to the visceral fat mass index (VFMI) and cardiometabolic disorders, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes, as previous research on this topic is lacking.

High-throughput and sustainable B vitamins analysis in nutritional supplements, vegetables, and fruits via 2D carbon microfiber fractionation system coupled with mass spectrometry.

B vitamins are essential for energy metabolism, nervous health, blood production, and the immune system. Their quantification in nutritional supplements and food is mandatory to manage a correct daily intake and dosage. In this study, a fast and sustainable method for the analysis of 8 B vitamins (VB, VB, VB, nicotinamide, VB, VB, VB, VB) in real samples using a 2D-carbon microfiber fractionation system combined with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (2DμCFs-QqQ-MS/MS) is presented.

Vertical Gradient of Nitryl Chloride and Implications for Atmospheric Photochemistry in Pearl River Delta, China, during Wintertime.

Nitryl chloride (ClNO) is a key precursor of chlorine radicals, influencing atmospheric oxidation and secondary pollutants formation. Few studies have examined the ClNO chemistry from the perspective of the planetary boundary layer. Here, we conducted a vertically resolved investigation of ClNO at six heights (ranging from 5 to 335 m) on a 356 m tower in the Pearl River Delta, China, during winter 2021.
