The synthetic research for building γ-butyrolactones is being developed due to the high value of lactone skeletons, commonly found in natural products, functional molecules, bioactive agents and pharmaceuticals. However, reported synthetic methods, including harsh conditions, reliance on volatile activating reagents, and using noble metals, remain challenging. In this work, we present an electro-oxidative (3+2) annulation of alkenes with 1,3-diesters, offering an efficient route to γ-butyrolactones.

Although the seasonal variability of GHG emissions from boreal lakes is crucial for improving global emission models, emissions during the freezing period have not received sufficient attention. Focusing on two representative boreal lakes in China-Ulansuhai and Daihai-this study investigated variations in GHG emissions during both the non-freezing and freezing periods.

However, available information about the dynamics of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) release during intact freeze-thaw cycles, especially in the sediment-porewater-water column continuum of lakes, is limited. This study collected the samples during ice-covered (January) and non-ice-covered (April, July, and October) periods.

Background: The larval zebrafish tail fin can completely regenerate in 3 days post amputation. mTOR, the main regulator of cell growth and metabolism, plays an essential role in regeneration. Lots of studies have documented the role of mTOR in regeneration.

Methods: The present study fabricated nanotubes arrays with varied topography under different constant voltage of electrochemical anodization in fluorine-containing electrolyte. Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) from extracted third molar were harvested and co-cultured with titanium disks with different nanotubes topography.
Tracing lacustrine groundwater discharge (LGD) is essential for understanding the hydrological cycle and water chemistry behaviour of lakes. LGD usually exhibits large spatial variability, but there are few reports on quantitatively revealing the spatial patterns of LGD at the whole lake scale. This study investigated the spatial patterns of LGD in Daihai Lake, a typical closed inland lake in northern China, based on the stable isotopes (δH and δO) of groundwater, surface water, and sediment pore water (SPW).

Purpose: To compare the clinical results of the DL versus EM repair techniques for delaminated rotator cuff tears using a meta-analysis.
Eutrophic lakes are a major source of the atmospheric greenhouse gas methane (CH), and CH ebullition emissions from inland lakes have important implications for the carbon cycle. However, the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of CH ebullition emission and its influencing factors in shallow eutrophic lakes of arid and semi-arid regions remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the mechanism of CH emission via eutrophication in Lake Ulansuhai, a large shallow eutrophic lake in a semi-arid region of China.

However, few studies have focused on the GHG dynamics of eutrophic saline lakes, thus preventing a comprehensive understanding of the carbon cycle. Here, we conducted four sampling analyses using a floating chamber in Daihai Lake, a eutrophication saline lake in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, to explore its carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH) emissions.

There is an urgent need for a safer method of performing esophageal-gastric anastomosis that reduces the risk of reflux after proximal gastrectomy. We hypothesize that a novel technique termed esophagogastric asymmetric anastomosis (EGAA) can prevent postoperative reflux in a safe and feasible manner.

The present investigation carried out a total of four sampling campaigns in Daihai Lake, which is a eutrophic saline lake situated in a semi-arid area of northern China. The aim of this study was to investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics of carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH) fluxes at the sediment-water interface and the influencing factors.

A novel perylene diimide/phthalocyanine iron (PDI/FePc) heterojunctions with strong π-π interaction were synthesized by a self-assembled method, which exhibited strong visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation activities of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). The TC removal rate over PDI/FePc was achieved three times and 87.
