Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), which is made by replacing all natural coarse and fine aggregates with recycled aggregate, plays a significant role in improving the recycling rate of construction materials, reducing carbon emissions from construction, and alleviating ecological degradation issues. However, due to its low strength and significant shrinkage and deformation problems, RAC has limited application. The effort of fiber type, fiber admixture, and fiber hybridization on autogenous shrinkage were studied to improve the structural safety of building materials and broaden the application of RAC.

Background: Severe in-stent restenosis (ISR) following the implantation of drug-eluting stent (DES) can lead to recurrent angina pectoris or even acute myocardial infarction, thereby necessitating target lesion revascularization (TLR). Prior studies have confirmed the correlation between the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) and ISR after DES implantation. The potential of MHR to predict TLR following DES implantation remains an area of ongoing research and may have significant clinical implications.

Pullorum disease is a bacterial disease caused by in chickens, which is characterized by gastrointestinal infection and diarrhea. In traditional perspectives, research on pullorum disease primarily focused on clinical symptoms, epidemiological characteristics, and the pathogenic sites. This study, however, approaches the subject from the standpoint of host genetic basis and gut microbiota.

Bilirubin exists as albumin-bound complexes in the bloodstream of patients with hyperbilirubinemia. Developing adsorbents with high removal efficiency for albumin-bound bilirubin and excellent hemocompatibility is essential for effective hemoperfusion therapy. Herein, microfibrillated cellulose-reinforced polyethyleneimine cryogels (PEI/MFC) with robust mechanical properties were fabricated through cryo-induced chemical crosslinking, using bis(vinylsulphonyl)methane (BVSM) as chemical cross-linker.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an interesting class of inorganic/organic hybrid materials with a wide scope of applications. Although manganese is an abundant metal, the synthesis of Mn(III)-containing MOFs has not been widely studied due to the relative redox sensitivity of this species. We therefore investigated the self-oxidation of manganese(II) nitrate in the presence of aromatic dicarboxylic linkers in alcohols, discovering a series of new Mn(III)-MOFs.

Background: Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in pregnant people and have been associated with significant complications and morbidities for both pregnant people and their offspring. Despite this, the management of sleep issues during pregnancy remains suboptimal. There is an urgent need to explore novel treatment approaches that are safe, feasible, and widely implementable in daily routines.

Background And Objective: In the phase 3 IPATential150 trial, ipatasertib addition to abiraterone significantly reduced the risk of disease progression in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with PTEN loss on immunohistochemistry (IHC), but not in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population. Here we report the final overall survival (OS) analysis and present results for prespecified and exploratory biomarker analyses.

Methods: Patients were randomized to receive ipatasertib (400 mg once daily) or placebo.

Electrocatalytic dehalogenative deuteration is a sustainable method for precise deuteration, whereas its Faradaic efficiency (FE) is limited by a high overpotential and severe D evolution reaction (DER). Here, Cu site-adjusted adsorption and crown ether-reconfigured interfacial DO are reported to cooperatively increase the FE of dehalogenative deuteration up to 84% at -100 mA cm. Cu sites strengthen the adsorption of aryl iodides, promoting interfacial mass transfer and thus accelerating the kinetics toward dehalogenative deuteration.

Air conditioning systems are widely used to provide thermal comfort in hot and humid regions, but they also consume a large amount of energy. Therefore, accurate and reliable load demand forecasting is essential for energy management and optimization in air conditioning systems. Within the current paper, a novel model on the basis of machine learning has been presented for dynamic optimal load demand forecasting in air conditioning systems.

Objective: The survival benefit of venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for the management of acute high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) remains unclear. This meta-analysis combines data from comparative studies to assess the risk of mortality after ECMO vs standard care in the management of acute high-risk PE.

Methods: Databases of PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched from 01 January 2000 to 24 March 2023 for comparative studies with at least 10 patients/group comparing ECMO vs standard treatment.

The methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process has the potential to bridge future gaps in the supply of sustainable lower olefins. Promoting the selectivity of propylene and ethylene and revealing the catalytic role of active sites are challenging goals in MTO reactions. Here, we report a novel heteroatomic silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) zeolite, SAPO-34-Ta, which incorporates active tantalum(V) sites within the framework to afford an optimal distribution of acidity.

Electrochemical reductive deuteration of nitriles is a promising strategy for synthesizing deuterated amines with DO as the deuterated source. However, this reaction suffers from high overpotentials owing to the sluggish DO dissociation kinetics and high thermodynamic stability of the C≡N triple bond. Here, low-coordinated copper (LC-Cu) is designed to decrease the overpotential for the electrosynthesis of the precursor of Melatonin-d, 5-methoxytryptamine-d, by 100 mV with a 68 % yield (Faradaic efficiency), which is 4 times greater than that of high-coordinated copper (HC-Cu).

Article Synopsis
  • Starch has important industrial uses, but its performance is limited by issues like retrogradation and fast digestion.
  • By hydrolyzing native starch with β-amylase, β-limit dextrin (β-LD) and maltose are produced, with β-LD having a stable structure that helps avoid retrogradation and enhances solubility.
  • The review discusses ways to improve the production of β-LD, explore its additional benefits, and expand its applications in food and pharmaceuticals, offering valuable insights for its commercial use.

The neuropeptide F (NPF) signaling, comprising NPF and neuropeptide F receptor (NPFR), role in regulating insect behaviors and physiological processes. We cloned the genes encoding NPF and NPFR from Plutella xylostella, a notorious pest of cruciferous crops. Notably, the NPF gene produced two splicing variants, Px-NPF1 and Px-NPF2, with distinct expression patterns.

Ultrathin polymer membranes on porous substrates exhibit excellent gas and ion permeability and have important applications in many fields, such as membrane separation and batteries. However, there is still a lack of facile and general methods for the direct preparation of ultrathin polymer membranes on porous substrates, especially from polymer solutions. Within this work, a new strategy to fabricate centimeter-size ultrathin polymer membranes (thickness down to 16 nm) is presented directly on porous supports by using the liquid-liquid interfacial spin-coating technique.
