SBA-15-loaded RuCo alloy nanoparticle catalysts (RuCo/S15-SU) for the efficient catalysis of hydrogen storage by various liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) were prepared via strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA)-ultrasonic in-situ reduction (UR) technology. The above prepared catalysts were subjected to a series of characterization, such as XPS, H-TPD/TPR, N adsorption-desorption, ICP, CO-chemisorption, FT-IR, XRD and TEM. Ru and Co were evenly anchored on the surface of SBA-15 by SEA, and ultrafine RuCo alloy nanoparticles were formed by UR without any chemical reducing or stabilizing agents.

Histologically, melanoma tissues had fewer positive cells percentage of pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs), GZMA, GSDMB, NLRP1, IL18, and CHMP4A in epidermal than in normal skin. Pyroptosis, a new frontier in cancer, affects the tumor microenvironment and tumor immunotherapy. Nevertheless, the role of pyroptosis remains controversial, which reason is partly due to the heterogeneity of the cellular composition in melanoma.

N-ethylcarbazole (NEC) is an ideal liquid organic hydrogen storage carrier. The development of efficient hydrogen storage catalysts can promote the large-scale application of this process. In this paper, SBA-15 supported Ru nanocatalysts (Ru/S15-SU) were synthesized by strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA)-ultrasonic in situ reduction method (UR).

Introduction: Socio-economic inequalities in smoking and related health problems are a public health concern worldwide. To support the development of effective tobacco control policies, this study examines trends in smoking rates according to socio-economic status (SES) in China.

Aims And Methods: We analyzed data from repeated cross-sectional China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) on adults aged ≥45 years for the years 2011 and 2018, which involved 16 471 participants in 2011 and 19 367 in 2018.

Sheng-Ji Hua-Yu (SJHY) formula has been proved to reduce the severity of diabetic wound healing without significant adverse events in our previous clinical trials. However, based on multi-target characteristics, the regulatory network among herbs, ingredients, and hub genes remains to be elucidated. The current study aims to identify the biomarkers of the SJHY formula for the treatment of diabetic wound healing.

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease that may markedly influence the patients' physical health and mental condition. According to animal models and clinical researches, it has been proved that Jueyin granules (JYG), a Chinese formula comprised of seven kinds of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a therapeutic agent for treating psoriasis, while the specific mechanisms of the anti-inflammation effects of JYG have not been fully elucidated.

Objective: To uncover the underlying mechanisms of the action of JYG on psoriasis by proteomics clues.

Objective: A proportional hazard model was applied to develop a large-scale prognostic model and nomogram incorporating clinicopathological characteristics, histological type, tumor differentiation grade, and tumor deposit count to provide clinicians and patients diagnosed with colon cancer liver metastases (CLM) a more comprehensive and practical outcome measure.

Methods: Using the Transparent Reporting of multivariable prediction models for individual Prognosis or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) guidelines, this study identified 14,697 patients diagnosed with CLM from 1975 to 2017 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 21 registry database. Patients were divided into a modeling group (n=9800), an internal validation group (n=4897) using computerized randomization.

As one of low-digestible proteins, tartary buckwheat protein (BWP) revealed a cholesterol-lowering activity. The relationship between the prevention of BWP on dyslipidemia and changes in the numbers of gut microbiota was investigated. The male C57BL/6 mice were separately fed on normal diet, high-fat diet (HFD) with casein, and HFD with BWP extract for 6 weeks.

The metabolite profiles and distributions of procyanidin B2 were qualitatively described using UPLC-DAD-ESI-IT-TOF-MS without help of reference standards, and a possible metabolic pathway was proposed in the present study. Summarily, 53 metabolites (24 new metabolites) were detected as metabolites of procyanidin B2, and 45 of them were tentatively identified. Twenty seven metabolites were assigned as similar metabolites of (-)-epicatechin by scission of the flavanol interflavanic bond C4-C8, including 16 aromatic metabolites, 5 conjugated metabolites, 3 ring-cleavage metabolites, and 2 phenylvalerolactone metabolites.
