A Versatile Metalloporphyrinic Framework Platform for Highly Efficient Bioinspired, Photo- and Asymmetric Catalysis.

Even though numerous bioinspired catalysts have been developed, there remain huge gaps between the artificial and natural catalysts, because it is very difficult to imitate simultaneously the complicated constituents, structures, and synergistic effect of enzymes. We report herein a versatile metalloporphyrinic framework platform, which exhibits high efficiency in bioinspired catalysis, photocatalysis, and asymmetric catalysis. The catalytic properties are highly dependent on the tunable constituents and their cooperation, and are significantly superior to the corresponding molecular catalyst systems which lack the synergistic effects.

Assembly of a Metalloporphyrin-Polyoxometalate Hybrid Material for Highly Efficient Activation of Molecular Oxygen.

Organic metalloporphyrins and inorganic polyoxometalates (POMs) are two kinds of efficient molecular catalysts to prompt a variety of chemical reactions. They have been used as active moieties for the synthesis of porous materials to realize highly efficient heterogeneous catalysis. Both of them are regarded as the organic/inorganic equivalent counterparts to complement the individual features.

[Establishment and application of spatio-temporal model of schistosomiasis japonica in a county in marshland region].

Objective: To develop a spatio-temporal model of schistosomiasis japonica based on Bayesian model, and to analyze the spatio-temporal pattern of schistosomiasis, as well as to evaluate the impact of environment changes on schistosomiasis endemic.

Methods: Different Bayesian models were established by employing the data of the periodical surveillance on schistosomiasis during 1996-2005 period by taking into account of the uncertainty in sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic test, then the best fitness model was selected to analyze the spatio-temporal pattern of schistosomiasis and evaluate the impact of environment changes on schistosomiasis.

Results: The model with space-time interaction was a better fitting model.

[Validity of inquiry in screening chronic schistosomiasis japonica].

Objective: To study the indicators and validity of inquiry in the screening of chronic schistosomiasis japonica.

Methods: 51 villages of Hanshou county were selected at random in Hunan Province and the whole resident (>6 months/year) population aged 5 years and above was eligible for inclusion in the study. Inquiry through questionnairing, serological test (ELISA) and B type ultrasonography were applied respectively to screen chronic cases and evaluate morbidity due to schistosome infection.
