Regulation of the two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) emission intensity and wavelength of metal-organic framework (MOF) crystals with similar constitutions presents a significant challenge. In this study, two MOFs, Zn-BTPPA and Cd-BTPPA, were constructed using tetrakis(1,1'-biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid)-1,4-benzenediamine (HBTPPA) as the organic ligand and mononuclear Zn and trinuclear Cd inorganic nodes, respectively. The incorporation of HBTPPA within the MOF structures enables effective TPEF emission in both Zn-BTPPA and Cd-BTPPA.

A stable lithium metal-organic framework, constructed using a redox-active ,,','-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine linker and Li cluster-based one-dimensional rod secondary building unit, exhibits good stability and reversible redox activity. The Li-MOF, which can be oxidized by AgNO, has the potential to function as an electrochromic device, thereby advancing the development of smart MOF materials.

Background: In China, the current status of clinical treatment of eLVO and the factors affecting its long-term prognosis are unclear.

Objective: This study aims to explore the predictive factors of functional outcomes at one year in patients of acute ischemic stroke with emergent large vessel occlusion (eLVO).

Methods: We retrospectively collected 536 patients who underwent treatments for eLVO.

Agonistic behaviour is common in an encounter between two crustaceans. It often causes limb disability and consumes a lot of energy, which is harmful for the growth and survival of commercially important crustaceans. In the present study, we mainly focused on the agonistic behaviour of the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, which is an important species of the aquaculture industry in China.

Photoperiod plays an important role in individual growth, development, and metabolism in crustaceans. The growth and reproduction of crabs are closely related to the photoperiod. However, as of yet, there are still no transcriptomic reports of eyestalk ganglions treated under different photoperiods in the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), which is a benthonic crab with high commercial value in Asia.

In the pond culture of juvenile , a high limb-impairment rate seriously affects the culture success. Therefore, it is particularly important to artificially promote limb regeneration. This study evaluated the effects of melatonin on cheliped regeneration, digestive ability, and immunity, as well as its relationship with the eyestalk.

Dopamine (DA) plays a modulatory role in numerous physiological processes such as light adaptation and food intake, and exerts these functions through DA receptors (DARs). This study presents, for the first time, isolation and characterization of the dopamine receptor 2(DA2 receptor) cDNA from the intestinal tissue of Eriocheir sinensis, an economically important freshwater aquaculture species in China. The DA2 receptor cDNA sequence, which was obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends, is 2369bp long, encode peptide of 589 amino acid, and is highly homologous to related sequences in crustaceans.

In the pond culture of juvenile Eriocheir sinensis, various factors have frequently led to a high rate of autotomy and limb impairments. This study evaluated the differential effects of cheliped loss with autotomy and ablation on the short-term cellular and biochemical parameters of juvenile E. sinensis.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HTGAP), and the molecular foundation contributing to hypertriglyceridemia in such patients.

Methods: Clinical data from 329 patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) were analyzed. The patients were divided into the HTGAP group, with fasting serum triglyceride (TG) levels ≥500 mg/dL (5.

This study investigated whether sleep duration and quality were related to life satisfaction (LS) among older Chinese adults and whether depression mediated those relationships. Cross-sectional data from the aging arm of the Rugao Longevity and Aging Study were used. Sleep duration, sleep quality, depression, LS and covariates were analyzed using logistic regressions.

Hox genes are characterized by a highly conserved peptide domain and contribute to antero-posterior axis patterning during embryogenesis. These genes have been widely studied in a variety of animal species due to their central role in evolutionary developmental biology. Based on the published genome assembly and unpublished re-sequencing project data, we present the first genome-wide characterization and comparative genomic analysis of the Hox gene family within Schistosoma japonicum.
