In Situ Encapsulation of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters in Reticular Frameworks via Mechanochemical Synthesis.

The combination of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) and reticular frameworks is promising for generating component-specific nanocomposites with emergent properties. However, traditional liquid-phase synthesis often hampers this potential by damaging APNCs and limiting combination diversity. Here, mechanochemical synthesis to explore the encapsulation of diverse oil- and water-soluble APNCs within various reticular frameworks is employed, establishing a database of 21 unique APNC-framework combinations, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), and multivariate MOFs.

Stability and chemical bonding in a series of inverse sandwich actinide boride clusters (AnB) with δ bonding.

An inverse sandwich structure has been computationally predicted for uranium boride and extended to the series of actinide elements (An) from Th to Cm. The electronic structure and chemical bonding of these novel compounds have been analyzed using density functional theory and multireference wave-function based methods. We report the trends in electronic structure and bonding for AnB, and found that (d-π)π and (d-p)δ are the most important factors in the stability of AnB.

Intraoperative Vasoactive Medications and Perioperative Outcomes in Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analyses.

We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analyses evaluating the effects of different intraoperative vasoactive drugs on acute kidney injury (AKI) and other perioperative outcomes in adult liver transplant recipients. We searched multiple electronic databases using words from the "liver transplantation" and "vasoactive drug" domains. We included all randomized controlled trials conducted in adult liver transplant recipients comparing 2 different intravenous vasoactive drugs or 1 against a standard of care that reported AKI, intraoperative blood loss, or any other postoperative outcome.

Association between intraoperative fluid balance, vasopressors and graft complications in liver transplantation: A cohort study.

Introduction: Biliary complications following liver transplantation are common. The effect of intraoperative fluid balance and vasopressors on these complications is unknown.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a cohort study between July 2008 and December 2017.
