Photo-responsive adsorption has emerged as a vibrant area because it provides a promising route to reduce the energy consumption of the traditional adsorption separation. However, the current methodology to fabricate photo-responsive sorbents is still subject to the photo-deforming molecular units. In this study, a new initiative of photo-dissociated electron-hole pairs is proposed to generate amazing adsorption activity, and prove its feasibility.

Nonadherence to direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) pharmacotherapy may increase the risk of thromboembolism or bleeding, and delayed or missed doses are the most common types of nonadherence. Current recommendations from regulatory agencies or guidelines regarding this issue lack evidence and fail to consider individual differences. This study aimed to develop individual remedial dosing strategies when the dose was delayed or missed for DOACs, including rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, and dabigatran etexilate.

Article Synopsis
  • Roxadustat is an oral medication used to treat renal anemia, but its pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves in the body) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with early posttransplant anemia (PTA) had not been previously studied.
  • A population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted with data from 52 Chinese KTRs, identifying factors like body weight and bilirubin levels that affect the drug’s clearance from the body.
  • The study successfully developed a dosing regimen for roxadustat, recommending it at 100 mg three times a week for most KTRs, with adjustments based on individual body weight and bilirubin levels.

Article Synopsis
  • Some people with a heart problem called myocardial infarction (MI) might actually have a small hole in their heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO) that lets dangerous clots pass through.
  • Doctors used a special test called optical coherence tomography (OCT) to study patients who had MI but normal heart arteries to see if they had any clots stuck in the PFO.
  • They found that in two out of three patients, there were signs of sticky clots inside the PFO, and after treating them, none of the patients felt chest pain again.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers found a rare case where a heart attack happened because of a small hole in the heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
  • They used a special camera called optical coherence tomography to see the clots (or thrombi) in the PFO channel.
  • The study suggests that these clots could be a reason for heart attacks in people with a PFO, not just the usual way clots travel in the body.

Background: Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB), known as the 'cancer' of cucurbits, is a seed-borne disease of melons caused by Acidovorax citrulli. Traditional chemical treatments for BFB are ineffective and adversely affect the environment. Using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) nanosecond-pulsed plasma technology, melon seeds were treated to promote germination and growth and to control BFB.

Energy-efficient separation of CH/CH is a great challenge, for which adsorptive separation is very promising. CH-selective adsorption has big implications, while the design of CH-sorbents with ideal adsorption capability, particularly with the CH/CH-selectivity exceeded 2.0, is still challenging.

Background: Pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) exhibit unique clinical features in terms of postpartum immune system reconstitution and recovery from pregnancy-related changes. However, current studies focus primarily on the outcomes of maternal-infant transmission and postpartum hepatitis flares. We aimed to evaluate the profiles of hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg) and pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) in pregnant women with CHB.

Solid base catalysts are widely used in the chemical industry owing to their advantages of environmental friendliness and easy separation. However, their application is limited by basic site aggregation and poor stability. In this study, we report the preparation of magnesium (Mg) single-atom catalysts with high activity and stability by a sublimation-trapping strategy.

Great efforts have been devoted to the study of photo-responsive adsorption, but its current methodology largely depends on the well-defined photochromic units and their photo-driven molecular deformation. Here, a methodology to fabricate nondeforming photo-responsive sorbents is successfully exploited. With C-fullerene doping in metalloporphyrin metal-organic frameworks (PCN-M, M = Fe, Co, or Ni) and intensively interacting with the metalloporphyrin sites, effective charge-transfer can be achieved over the metalloporphyrin-C architectures once excited by the light at 350 to 780 nm.

Photo-responsive metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs) have great potential in on-demand controllable adsorption processes under distinct light conditions, which is challenging to realize by conventional adsorbents with static frameworks and properties. Here, we report a new type of adsorbent with photo-responsive active sites for adsorptive desulfurization. Coumarin monomers were incorporated in MIL-101(Cr) to construct the photo-responsive adsorbents by coordinating with unsaturated chromium sites.

Porous liquids (PLs), a summation of porous hosts and bulky solvents bestowing permanent cavities, are the prominent emerging materials. Despite great efforts, exploration of porous hosts and bulky solvents is still needed to develop new PL systems. Metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) with discrete molecular architectures can be considered as porous hosts; however, many of them are insoluble entities.

The adjustment of the valence state of metal ions is crucial for various applications because peculiar activity originates from metal ions with specific valence. Cu can interact with molecules possessing unsaturated bonds like CO via π-complexation, while Cu doesn't have such ability. Meanwhile, Cu sites are easily oxidized to Cu , leading to the loss of activity.

The photo-responsive adsorption has emerged as a vibrant area, but its current methodology is limited by the well-defined photochromic units and their molecular deformation driven by photo-stimuli. Herein, a methodology of nondeforming photo-responsiveness is successfully exploited. With the exploiting agent of Cu-TCPP framework assembled on the graphite and strongly interacted with it, the sorbent generates two kinds of adsorption sites, over which the electron density distribution of the graphite layer can be modulated at the c-axis direction, which can further evolve due to photo-stimulated excited states.

Considerable evidence now indicates that cognitive impairment is primarily a vascular disorder. The depletion of smooth muscle 22 alpha (SM22α) contributes to vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) switching from contractile to synthetic and proinflammatory phenotypes in the context of inflammation. However, the role of VSMCs in the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment remains undetermined.

To compare the pancreatic proteomics and autophagy between Rehmanniae Radix-and Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata-treated mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). The T2DM mouse model was established by high-fat diet coupled with streptozotocin(STZ, intraperitoneal injection, 100 mg·kg~(-1), once a day for three consecutive days). The mice were then randomly assigned into a control group, low-(5 g·kg~(-1)) and high-dose(15 g·kg~(-1)) Rehmanniae Radix groups, low-(150 mg·kg~(-1)) and high-dose(300 mg·kg~(-1)) catalpol groups, low-(5 g·kg~(-1)) and high-dose(15 g·kg~(-1)) Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata groups, low-(150 mg·kg~(-1)) and high-dose(300 mg·kg~(-1)) 5-hydroxymethyl furfuraldehyde(5-HMF) groups, and a metformin(250 mg·kg~(-1)) group.

Stimuli-responsive porous materials have captured much attention due to the on-demand tunable properties. Most reported stimuli-responsive porous materials are based on molecule isomerism or host-guest interaction, and it is highly desired to develop new types based on different responsive mechanism. Herein, inspired by natural cells which have the ability to fuse and divide induced by external stimulation, we report a new type of stimuli-responsive porous material based on detachment mechanism.

Adsorption is a widely applied technique in producing high-purity chemicals with advantages of low energy consumption, high selectivity, and mild operating conditions. However, traditional adsorbents have inflexible properties and suffer from the trade-off between selective adsorption and efficient desorption. Recently, the emerging photoresponsive adsorbents have provided new avenues for adsorption techniques.
