This study introduces two novel sandwich-type tungsten-oxygen cluster compounds synthesized by hydrothermal methods, H(CHNH){Na(HO)[Mn(HO)(GeWO)]} (Compound 1) and H(CHNH){Na(HO)[Co(HO)(GeWO)]}·17HO (Compound 2). The two compounds comprise cluster anions [GeWO] coordinated with transition metal atoms, either Mn or Co, and are stabilized by organic ligands. These compounds are crystallized in the hexagonal crystal system and P6/m space group.

Methods: A total of 94 stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients were recruited for the study．Plasma HS levels were measured using fluorescence probe. Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to measure HS synthase cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) mRNA and cystathionine-β-synthesis enzyme (CBS) mRNA.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often coexist, creating a condition known as overlap syndrome, which is linked to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH).
- A study involving 106 stable COPD patients evaluated the presence of OSA and its effects on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) using home monitoring and echocardiography.
- Results showed that patients with COPD and OSA had higher PAP compared to those without OSA, and factors like age and forced expiratory volume were significant contributors to PH development.
