Based on the nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) simulations and the first-principles calculations, we explore the overall water-splitting schemes and the photogenerated carrier dynamics for two configurations (CG and CG) of the CrS/GeSe van der Waals heterostructures. The photocatalytic direct Z-schemes and carrier migration pathways for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) are constructed based on the electronic properties. The solar-to-hydrogen efficiency (η' values) of the schemes can reach 10.

The elaborate configuration of the heterostructure is crucial and challenging to achieve high solar-to-hydrogen efficiency or CO reduction efficiency . Here, we predict two heterostructures composed of HfSe, ZrSe, and GaAs monolayers. The maximum of 42.

Background: Comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment of neurodevelopmental outcomes of high-risk neonates may have significant challenges in low- and middle-income countries, in addition to socio-cultural barriers. We aimed to compare the time to diagnosis of neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) and cerebral palsy (CP) in preterm neonates (<29 weeks) at a multidisciplinary assessment and care (MDAC) clinic with that of a conventional high-risk infant follow-up clinic in China.

Methods: All eligible surviving very preterm neonates born at <29 weeks gestation at the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital between January 2015 and December 2019 were followed up in conventional (2015-2017) and MDAC (2018-2020) clinics up to 2 years corrected age with clinical demographic information collected in a prospective database.

Post‑translational modification via small ubiquitin‑like modifier (SUMO) is involved in the regulation of various important cellular processes. SUMO modification can be regulated at the level of conjugation, and can also be reversed by the SUMO‑specific proteases (SENPs). However, current studies of the regulation and function of SENP in lung development remain limited.

Objective: To study the expression of SUMO-modified CCAAT enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) in preterm rat model of bronchopulmonary dysplasisa (BPD) induced by hyperoxia exposure and its role.

Methods: Eighteen preterm rats were randomly divided into an air group and a hyperoxia group (n=9 each). The model of BPD was prepared in preterm rats exposed to hyperoxia.
