Effect of electroacupuncture of "Zusanli" (ST36) combined with capeOX on apoptosis and ferroptosis in nude mice with colorectal cancer.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of combined treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) with electroacupuncture (EA) and capeOX (combined administration of fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and capecitabine) on the tumor volume, weight, spleen coefficient, apoptosis and ferroptosis of tumor tissue, and liver and kidney functions in nude mice with CRC, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying inhibiting CRC and alleviating toxic reactions of capeOX.

Methods: Female Balb/c nude mice were randomly assigned to 3 groups：model, capeOX, and EA+capeOX, with 8 nude mice in each group. The CRC model was established by subcutaneous injection of colon cancer cells at the right inguinal region.

Nickel-Catalyzed Atroposelective C-H Alkylation Enabled by Bimetallic Catalysis with Air-Stable Heteroatom-Substituted Secondary Phosphine Oxide Preligands.

The catalytic asymmetric construction of axially chiral C-N atropisomers remains a formidable challenge due to their low rotational barriers and is largely reliant on toxic, cost-intensive, and precious metal catalysts. In sharp contrast, we herein describe the first nickel-catalyzed atroposelective C-H alkylation for the construction of C-N axially chiral compounds with the aid of a chiral heteroatom-substituted secondary phosphine oxide (HASPO)-ligated Ni-Al bimetallic catalyst. A wide range of alkenes, including terminal and internal alkenes, were well compatible with the reaction, providing a variety of benzimidazole derivatives in high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 97:3 e.

Novice nurses' transition shock and professional identity: The chain mediating roles of self-efficacy and resilience.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the association between transition shocks and professional identity and the mediating roles of self-efficacy and resilience among Chinese novice nurses.

Electrocatalyzed direct arene alkenylations without directing groups for selective late-stage drug diversification.

Electrooxidation has emerged as an increasingly viable platform in molecular syntheses that can avoid stoichiometric chemical redox agents. Despite major progress in electrochemical C-H activations, these arene functionalizations generally require directing groups to enable the C-H activation. The installation and removal of these directing groups call for additional synthesis steps, which jeopardizes the inherent efficacy of the electrochemical C-H activation approach, leading to undesired waste with reduced step and atom economy.

Reaction performance prediction with an extrapolative and interpretable graph model based on chemical knowledge.

Accurate prediction of reactivity and selectivity provides the desired guideline for synthetic development. Due to the high-dimensional relationship between molecular structure and synthetic function, it is challenging to achieve the predictive modelling of synthetic transformation with the required extrapolative ability and chemical interpretability. To meet the gap between the rich domain knowledge of chemistry and the advanced molecular graph model, herein we report a knowledge-based graph model that embeds the digitalized steric and electronic information.

Data-driven design of new chiral carboxylic acid for construction of indoles with C-central and C-N axial chirality via cobalt catalysis.

Challenging enantio- and diastereoselective cobalt-catalyzed C-H alkylation has been realized by an innovative data-driven knowledge transfer strategy. Harnessing the statistics of a related transformation as the knowledge source, the designed machine learning (ML) model took advantage of delta learning and enabled accurate and extrapolative enantioselectivity predictions. Powered by the knowledge transfer model, the virtual screening of a broad scope of 360 chiral carboxylic acids led to the discovery of a new catalyst featuring an intriguing furyl moiety.
