Directed synthesis of high-efficiency visible photoinduced Baeyer-Villiger oxidation catalysts is of primary significance. Here, the isopolymolybdate anion [β-MoO] is for the first time encapsulated with the photosensitive metalloligand [Ru(bpy)(Hdcbpy)] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; Hdcbpy = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) to synthesize polyoxometalate@metal-organic frameworks, {(CdDMF)[Ru(bpy)(dcbpy)]([β-MoO])}·5DMF (Ru-Mo). The composite photocatalyst Ru-Mo not only has a light absorption of 700 nm but also shortens the photogenerated electron transfer distances and accelerates charge and proton transfer.

The rising of MXenes not only enriches the two-dimensional material family but also brings more opportunities for diverse functional applications. However, the controllable synthesis of MXenes is still unsatisfied via the common liquid-solid etching route, considering the unsolved problems like safety risk, time cost and easy oxidation. Herein, a facile yet efficient gas-solid (G-S) reaction methodology is devised by using hydrogen fluoride gas derived from fluorinated organics as the MAX etchant toward high-efficiency fabrication of multiple MXenes and their derivatives.

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a prevalent cause of endocrine hypertension characterized by an excess of aldosterone that can induce proinflammatory, prooxidant and profibrotic effects on the heart. Emerging evidence indicates a heightened incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with PA, suggesting a significant association between the two conditions. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

An S-shaped 8-Ti-containing polyoxomolybdate (NH)CsNaH[Ti(GeMoO)(GeMoO)]·44HO () has been prepared under the one-pot hydrothermal method and further characterized. According to single-crystal X-ray, compound consists of two {GeMoO} and two {GeMoO} segments, which are linked with a {TiO} cluster. Moreover, the {GeMoO} fragment is rare and the first discovery, which enriches the lacunary Keggin-type family and offers the possibility of obtaining new structures.

Objectives: Research on the distribution of and the variation in coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) in the Chinese osteoarthritis population is limited. We aimed to establish the CPAK classification based on the characteristics of lower limb alignment in the Chinese osteoarthritis population. We also investigated variations in lower limb alignment parameters and CPAK phenotypes based on gender, body mass index (BMI), and age.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study involving 405 Han Chinese and 373 Uyghur participants on statins assessed their blood lipid levels before and after treatment, while examining specific SNPs (rs17671591 and rs3761740) to understand their influence on lipid levels.
  • * Findings revealed that in the Uyghur population, certain genetic models significantly correlated with LDL-C levels both before and after statin use, while similar correlations were not evident in the Han population for the same SNPs, emphasizing different genetic impacts on

Background And Aims: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) presented overall muscle weakness and reduced physical performance. Previous study focused on the impact of muscle weakness on outcomes of established PAD, however the relationship between compromised muscle function and incident PAD remained unclear.

Methods: A prospective study involving 430,886 participants aged 40-69 y from UK biobank was conducted.

Article Synopsis
  • * In a study involving 58 patients who underwent bilateral AAE, results showed significant reductions in blood pressure at 1, 3, and 6 months post-procedure, with a majority experiencing notable improvement in blood pressure control.
  • * The procedure was generally safe, resulting in improvements in hormone levels without major changes in cortisol and ACTH levels, and with most side effects, like flank pain, resolving quickly; no long-term side effects were observed after six months.

Radiotherapy is a curative arsenal for prostate cancer (PCa), but radioresistance seriously compromises its effectiveness. Dysregulated RNA splicing factors are extensively involved in tumor progression. Nonetheless, the role of splicing factors in radioresistance remains largely unexplored in PCa.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are involved in the development of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). The present study aimed to reveal the role of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), an oxidative sensor, in CI-AKI. Trpa1 mice with Trpa1 conditionally knocked out in renal proximal tubular (PT) cells, Trpa1 overexpression mice (Trpa1-OE), and TRPA1 agonists and antagonists were used to study its function in a mouse model of iohexol-induced CI-AKI.

Lymph node (LN) metastasis is the dominant cause of death in bladder cancer (BCa) patients, but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. In recent years, accumulating studies have confirmed that bidirectional mitochondria-nucleus communication is essential for sustaining multiple function of mitochondria. However, little has been studied regarding whether and how the translocation of mitochondrial proteins is involved in LN metastasis.

α-synuclein (α-syn) pathologies are central to the development of synucleinopathies including Parkinson's disease (PD). Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of α-syn pathologies is one strategy to facilitate the diagnosis, understanding, and treatment of synucleinopathies, but has been restricted by the lack of specific α-syn PET probes. In this work, we identified 2,6-disubstituted imidazo[2,1-][1,3,4]thiadiazole (ITA) as a new α-syn-binding scaffold.
