Due to the complex series of elementary steps involved, achieving deep photoreduction of CO to multielectron products such as CH remains a challenging task. Therefore, it is crucial to strategically design catalysts that facilitate the controlled formation of the crucial intermediates and provide precise control over the reaction pathway. Herein, we present a pioneering approach by employing polyhydroxy fullerene (PHF) molecules to modify the surface of Ni(OH), creating stable and effective synergistic sites to enhance the formation of CH from CO under light irradiation.

Background: Splenic hamartoma (SH) is a rare, benign vascular proliferation that is often found incidentally. It may be misdiagnosed as a splenic aneurysm or splenic malignancy.

Case Summary: A 21-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of an incidentally discovered asymptomatic splenic space-occupying lesion for 2 wk.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between microsatellite polymorphism in the Heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) gene promoter and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) in Han Chinese.

Methods: Eighty-three construction workers who developed HAPE 2 to 7 days after arrival at Yushu (3800 m) in Qinghai, China, and 145 matched healthy subjects were included in this study. The amplification and labeling of the polymerase chain reaction products for capillary electrophoresis were performed to identify HMOX1 genotype frequency.

Article Synopsis
  • The review summarizes research on cryptosporidiosis in cattle in China, focusing on the epidemiology, genetic diversity, and distribution of Cryptosporidium species, essential for assessing its economic and public health impact.
  • It reports a total infection rate of 11.9% in cattle, with the highest rates observed in preweaned calves (19.5%), and identifies C. parvum and C. andersoni as the dominant species across different age groups.
  • The study highlights the zoonotic potential of certain Cryptosporidium species found in cattle, indicating risks of transmission to humans, and notes significant variations in prevalence and species among different cattle breeds and geographic areas.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the expression of a novel estrogen receptor, G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) and its correlation with matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Ovary tissues were obtained from 39 female patients, including 30 cases of EOC and 9 cases of benign ovarian tumor. Four normal ovary tissues were used as control.
