Enhanced Photoluminescence Emission and Thermal Stability in Pt1Ag31 nanocluster from Introduced Secondary Phosphine Oxide Functionalized ligand.

Surface ligands significantly influence the optical properties and stability of metal nanoclusters. In this study, we synthesized [Pt1Ag31(S-Adm)16(DPPM)3(DPPMO)Cl3](SbF6)4 (Pt1Ag31-DPPMO). Compared to [Pt1Ag31(S-Adm)16(DPPM)3Cl3](SbF6)4 (Pt1Ag31), the introduction of secondary phosphine oxide ligand, DPPMO, results in Pt1Ag31-DPPMO exhibiting enhanced photoluminescent properties in both solution and solid states, as well as improved stability and electron-withdrawing ability.

Ten-year retrospective study on medico-legal risk of family physicians providing anaesthesia care in Canada, 2013-2022.

Introduction: Anaesthesiologist medico-legal risk is well reported in the literature, however, there is little data regarding the medico-legal risk of family practice anaesthetists (FPAs) in Canada. We aimed to describe the expert criticisms from medico-legal cases involving family physicians providing care within the scope of anaesthesia.

Methods: Medico-legal cases involving FPAs providing anaesthesia-related care were identified from a national repository at the Canadian Medical Protective Association.

Steering the Product Selectivity of CO2 Electroreduction by Single Atom Switching in Isostructural Copper Nanocluster Catalysts.

Even single atom manipulation can cause drastically changes in catalytic activity and selectivity, especially in atomic-level catalysts. However, it is challenging to accurately elucidate the influence of specific atom on performance due to the intertwined factors in catalysts. Atomically precise isostructural nanoclusters (NCs) can serve as ideal platforms to uncover the impact of individual atom on catalytic property.

Dynamic-Memory Protocol-Based Synchronization for Semi-Markov Jump Reaction-Diffusion CDNs.

This study investigates the synchronization of reaction-diffusion complex dynamical networks (CDNs) based on semi-Markov switching topology and an event-triggered protocol. The investigated model is rendered more practical via the introduction of a semi-Markov process for stochastic jump CDNs. Based on the internal dynamic variable history information, a dynamic-memory event-triggered strategy is proposed, wherein the primary novelty lies in its prior transmitted packets to enhance the control performance.

p53-dependent chromatin relaxation is required for DNA double-strand break repair.

The tumor suppressor p53, an indispensable nuclear transcription factor, plays a central role in orchestrating cellular responses when DNA damage occurs. In this study, we demonstrate that in the initial phases of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, p53 is rapidly recruited to sites of damage and the surrounding chromatin, where it enhances DSB repair efficiency. This enhancement occurs through the modulation of chromatin dynamics and the promotion of a more relaxed chromatin configuration, a process influenced by p53 in response to DSB-inducing factors such as etoposide, ultraviolet radiation, and nucleases.

Exploring the phytotoxicity mechanisms of PET nanoplastics and 6:2 FTSA in water hyacinth under individual and combined exposure scenarios.

Due to its similarity in hydrophobic properties to perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid (6:2 FTSA) has emerged as a key substitute for PFOS. Its presence in aquatic environments, along with the coexistence of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), may impact the growth of aquatic plants and ecosystem stability. This study explored the changes in antioxidant defense, photosynthetic system, and metabolic responses of water hyacinths (Eichhornia crassipes) under individual and combined exposure conditions.

Mitochondrial autophagy-related gene signatures associated with myasthenia gravis diagnosis and immunity.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a common autoimmune disorder that causes skeletal muscle weakness. Most patients presented with skeletal muscle weakness and endurance decline. Mitophagy refers to removing and interpreting aging or damaged mitochondria in cells.

The efficacy of treatments for temporomandibular disorders with occlusal splints versus other conservative therapies: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: Temporomandibular joint disorders can significantly impact individuals' physical and mental health. Conservative treatments are often recommended in the initial stage of the treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of occlusal splints compared with other conservative treatments.

Identification of novel hub gene and biological pathways associated with ferroptosis in In-Stent restenosis.

Background: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is one of the most significant complications following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Ferroptosis is a novel cell death mode characterized by iron overload and lipid peroxidation. However, the role of ferroptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) regulating neointimal formation during restenosis remains unclear.

Chronic implantable flexible serpentine probe reveals impaired spatial coding of place cells in epilepsy.

The development of minimally invasive and reliable electrode probes for neural signal recording is crucial for advancing neuroscience and treating major brain disorders. Flexible neural probes offer superior long-term recording capabilities over traditional rigid probes. This study introduces a parylene-based serpentine electrode probe for stable, long-term neural monitoring.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy of FeH to aid its identification in astrochemical environments.

We present the first absorption spectrum of the unperturbed diatomic molecular ion FeH in any wavelength range. The cryogenic X-ray absorption spectrum at the L and L edge is consistent with an iron 3d occupation of 6.24e.

Combination of inorganic nitrate and vitamin C prevents collagen-induced arthritis in rats by inhibiting pyroptosis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by synovial inflammation, cartilage damage, and bone loss. Although effective treatments are currently lacking, early interventions hold promise for alleviating RA symptoms. Inorganic nitrates and vitamin C (VC) are essential bioactive substances abundant in fruits and vegetables.

Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and Electronic Structure Analysis of F-type Superatomic Molecules.

The investigation of bonding interactions between superatoms continues to be a largely unexplored area of study. In this study, we present the synthesis and characterization of two F-type superatomic molecules [AuAg(CHNOS)(DPPB)] and [AuAg(CHNS)(DPPM)] ( and for short, respectively). The overall structures were confirmed via X-ray crystallography, revealing the horizontal expansion of the biicosahedral AuAg yielding [AuAg(CHNOS)(DPPB)] and vertical expansion of the biicosahedral AuAg yielding [AuAg(CHNS)(DPPM)].

Dynamic aroma characteristics of jasmine tea scented with single-petal jasmine "Bijian": A comparative study with traditional double-petal jasmine.

This study investigated the dynamic changes in jasmine tea during the scenting process and explored the differences in the aroma characteristics of jasmine tea scented with single-petal jasmine "Bijian" and traditional double-petal jasmine "Shuangban." Twenty-one key volatile compounds were identified from jasmine tea by headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Compared with the intensely floral and sweet fragrance characteristic of jasmine tea scented with double-petal jasmine "Shuangban," the tea scented with single-petal jasmine "Bijian" exhibited a fresher aroma, which can be attributed to the accumulation of methyl benzoate.

Citizens play a crucial role in attaining the United Nations 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGs). There is growing awareness of the importance of understanding citizen perspectives on environmental issues, in relation to developing and maintaining sustainable lifestyles, and in addressing perceived threats to protection and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity. This analysis sought to understand people's attitudes towards environmental conservation, how they relate to perceived threats to the countryside, and to determine how attitudes and perceived threats vary demographically and between countries.

Symmetry reduction induced by argon tagging gives access to low-lying excited states of FeH in the overtone region of the Fe-H stretching mode.

Iron is the most abundant transition metal in the interstellar medium (ISM), and is thought to be involved in a variety of astrochemical processes.
