The [5,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement is a less-studied reaction and may be strategically utilized to devise unique synthetic processes. Herein, we document a diboron-enabled [5,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement for practical synthesis of BINAM derivatives. Mechanistically, a concerted activation of azonaphthalenes by diboron creates a unique ten-membered transition state, which subsequently triggers a [5,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement.

Some inventories that were not available in China were obtained through foreign inventories combined with localized power conversion. The localized end-point destructive life cycle impact assessment method was used to calculate the environmental impact potential of the raw material acquisition, transportation, and hydrogen production stages of five hydrogen products.

While radical surgery has been a pivotal method for halting disease progression, it alone is insufficient for enhancing the quality of life for patients.
Aim: To investigate the correlation between ultrasound characteristic parameters of breast cancer lesions and clinical efficacy in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Background: Heart failure (HF), which is caused by cardiac overload and injury, is linked to significant mortality. Writers of RNA modification (WRMs) play a crucial role in the regulation of epigenetic processes involved in immune response and cardiovascular disease. However, the potential roles of these writers in the immunological milieu of HF remain unknown.

The stoichiometric characteristics of leaves can reflect environmental adaptation of plants, and thus the study of the relationship between them is helpful for exploring plant adaptation strategies. In this study, taking the national second-level key protection species, , as the research object, we set up 26 plots to collect samples, and measured the content of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and water use efficiency (WUE) of leaves. We analyzed the relationship between leaf stoichiometric characteristics and WUE, and quantified the contributions of soil, climate, and water use efficiency to the variations of leaf stoichiometry.

Complications frequently occur after neonatal enterostomy. Enterostomy formation is a common outcome following an emergency neonatal laparotomy. This study investigated whether the incidence of complications after enterostomy could be decreased with a drainage device (composed of foreskin cerclage staple, a condom, and a 0-Mersilk braided nonabsorbable suture) fixed in the proximal ostomy bowel tube to improve proximal enterostomy in newborns.
