Two-dimensional SnSe (X = 1, 2) has emerged as a promising candidate for a NO chemiresistive sensor due to a remarkable affinity to NO gas adsorption. Although their gas sensing mechanism primarily relies on direct charge transfer, the underlying mechanisms of SnSe and SnSe remain unclear, despite various reported successes in phase engineering of SnSe. Here, we investigate phase engineering of SnSe in a hydrothermal route via 1-dodecanethiol (1-DDT), which served as a phase stabilizer, and comprehensively demonstrate phase-dependent NO detection properties.

Article Synopsis
  • Polyethylene is durable but doesn't break down easily due to its simple hydrocarbon structure; biodegradation needs oxidation to begin.
  • Galleria mellonella, a type of insect, can oxidize polyethylene on its own, and researchers have identified two candidate enzymes (CYP6B2-GP04 and CYP6B2-13G08) from its midgut that efficiently facilitate this process.
  • The study revealed that the Phe118 residue in CYP6B2-GP04 is crucial for hydrocarbon interaction, and enhanced versions of this enzyme show promise for improving polyethylene biodegradation and reducing plastic waste.

Aims: Considerable debate exists regarding the association between coffee consumption and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and the shape of this association. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between coffee consumption and CRP levels.

Data Synthesis: We searched PubMed and Web of Science databases and conducted a hand search as of June 27, 2023.

Background/objectives: Studies examining the association between coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome (MetS), considering different coffee types, have reported inconsistent results. We investigated the relationship between coffee consumption and MetS, taking into account coffee types, using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted from 2016 to 2021 among 14,631 adults aged 19-64 years.

Subjects/methods: We used a 24-h dietary recall method to assess diet, including the type and quantity of coffee consumed.
