[Research progress in quality control of Bufonis Venenum in preparations].

Bufonis Venenum, an animal medicinal material, is widely used for treating cardiovascular diseases and pain induced by rheumatics or malignant tumors. In view of the high activity and high toxicity, it is of great significance to pay attention to the quality control of Bufonis Venenum to ensure the safety and effectiveness of its preparations. China's drug standards involve 102 preparations(474 batch numbers) containing Bufonis Venenum approved for sale, including 14 preparations in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020 edition) and 68 preparations in the standards issued by the Ministry of Health Drug Standard of the People's Republic of China.

Mixed-Metal-Cluster Strategy for Boosting Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution Reaction of Robust Metal-Organic Frameworks.

Rational construction of mixed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been proved to be an effective way to heighten the electrocatalytic performance for MOFs, while the function of mixed metal clusters in MOFs to the electrocatalytic activity has not been known. For the first time, we present a mixed-metal-cluster strategy to boost electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance for MOFs. Heterometal clusters (FeM(μ-O) (CHCOO)(HO), denoted as FeM (M: Co or Ni)), were chosen as the metal source to construct two bimetal PCN-250-FeM.

AMP-activated protein kinase α1 serves a carcinogenic role via regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor expression in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

AMP-activated protein kinase α1 (AMPK α1) is involved in the tumorigenesis of various cancer types. However, the role of AMPK α1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. In the present study, 99 NSCLC tumor tissues and paired normal tissues were obtained.

[Characteristics of Chemical Components in PM₂.₅ from the Coal Dust of Power Plants].

The ashes under dust catcher of typical power plants in Yangquan was collected and the contents of elements, irons, EC (elemental carbon) and OC (organic carbon) were measured in PM₂. The characteristics of its chemical composition was studied and the degree of similarity of coal dust's source profiles of PM₂.₅ between Yangquan and other cities were compared using the coefficient of divergence method.
