Desulfurization of diesel joint adsorption and extraction using a porous liquid derived from ZIF-8 and a phosphonium-type ionic liquid.

A type-III porous liquid based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and an ionic liquid trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([THTDP][BTI]) was synthesized and used for the desulfurization of model diesel. The desulfurization effect by ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] combined both the adsorptive desulfurization by ZIF-8 and the extraction desulfurization by [THTDP][BTI]. The removal of the three chosen aromatic organic sulfides by the ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] porous liquid followed the order of dibenzothiophene (73.

The Controllable Mechanical Properties of Coiled Carbon Nanotubes with Stone-Wales and Vacancy Defects.

Coiled carbon nanotubes (CCNTs) as a promising nanometer scale spring are investigated for the effect of the defects on the tensile mechanical properties of CCNTs by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Six samples of defective CCNTs are constructed by introducing the defects in the different positions. The results show an obvious decrease in the spring constant and elastic limit of defective CCNTs, which results in the lower energy storage ability during the elastic range compared with the perfect CCNTs.

Changes of adrenocorticotropic hormone rhythm and cortisol circadian rhythm in patients with depression complicated with anxiety and their effects on the psychological state of patients.

: This work was to explore the rhythm of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol in patients with depression and anxiety and their effects on mental state. In this work, with depression complicated with anxiety patients as the A-MDD group ( = 21), and depression without anxiety symptoms as the NA-MDD group ( = 21). Firstly, data features were extracted according to the electroencephalo-graph (EEG) data of different patients, and a DR model was constructed for diagnosis.

Changes in sucrose metabolism patterns affect the early maturation of Cassava sexual tetraploid roots.

Background: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important multiuse crop grown for economic and energy purposes. Its vegetative organs are storage roots, in which the main storage material is starch. The accumulation characteristics of starch in cassava roots can directly affect the yield, starch content and maturation of cassava storage roots.

Yaobitong capsules reshape and rebalance the gut microbiota and metabolites of arthritic rats: An integrated study of microbiome and fecal metabolomics analysis.

Yaobitong capsule (YBTC), a Chinese medicine compound preparation, has been demonstrated to affect multiple pathways associated with inflammation and exhibit potential anti-arthritis effect. In this study, an integrated omic approach based on UHPLC-Q-TOF MS and 16S rRNA sequencing analyses was proposed to reveal the anti-arthritis effect and possible mechanism of YBTC. The AIA rat model showed that YBTC significantly alleviated the typical symptoms of AIA rats such as weight, spleen index and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Integrative serum metabolomic analysis for preventive effects of Yaobitong capsule in adjuvant-induced rheumatoid arthritis rat based on RP/HILIC-UHPLC-Q-TOF MS.

Yaobitong capsule (YBTC) has been used for the prevention and treatment of inflammation-related lumbago and leg pain. However, its intervention mechanism still remains unclear. This study was aimed to evaluate the control efficiency of YBTC on adjuvant-induced rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats by metabonomic method and to explore its possible anti-arthritis mechanism.

Efficacy of simplified-cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia(S-CBTI) among female COVID-19 patients with insomnia symptom in Wuhan mobile cabin hospital.

Background: The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) caused great psychological distress often with comorbid insomnia. Insomnia is common in patients with COVID-19 admitted to mobile cabin hospitals. Insomnia may lead to immune dysfunction, a condition not conducive to recovery from COVID-19.

Deployment experiences of military nurses: A systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis.

Aims: The purpose of this systematic review is to explore military nurses' preparation, deployment and reintegration experiences in order to provide recommendations for effective management of the nursing team.

Background: Nurses provide health care in different settings including community, hospital and the disaster site. Military nurses have a long history of deploying for global health.

Systematically characterized mechanism of treatment for lumbar disc herniation based on Yaobitong capsule ingredient analysis in rat plasma and its network pharmacology strategy by UPLC-MS/MS.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Yaobitong capsule (YBTC) was a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and it had clinically used to treat lumbar disc degeneration (LDH) for a long time. However, the active ingredients of YBTC absorption into the plasma and its pharmacological mechanism of treatment for LDH still remained unclear.

Aim Of The Study: In this study, our research committed to identify the absorbed active ingredients of YBTC in rat plasma, and it may be a potential mechanism of action on LDH by the biological targets regulating related pathways.

The association between polymorphism of norepinephrine transporter G1287A and major depressive disorder, antidepressant response: a meta-analysis.

Objectives: Massive research has examined the cause of major depressive disorder (MDD) and accumulating evidence has revealed that the gene for the norepinephrine transporter (NET) is involved in MDDs etiology as well as the antidepressant response. The G1287A (rs5569, GRCh38, Chromosome 16, 55697923) is located in the exon 9 region of the SLC6A2 gene. It was found to be connected with MDD and antidepressant response in people of different genetic ancestries.

UPLC-MS/MS simultaneous determination of seven active ingredients of Yaobitong capsule in rat plasma and its integrated pharmacokinetic application.

A reliable and sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method was first established and validated for the simultaneous determination of seven active ingredients of Yaobitong capsule in rat plasma: ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside Rb1, osthole, tetrahydropalmatine, paeoniflorin, albiflorin, and ferulic acid. And this method was further applied for the integrated pharmacokinetic study of Yaobitong capsule in rats after oral administration. Plasma samples (100 μL) were precipitated with 300 μL of methanol using carbamazepine as internal standard.

A meta-analysis of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) use during prenatal depression and risk of low birth weight and small for gestational age.

Background: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) act as the first-line antidepressants prescribed for the treatment of prenatal depression. Evidence from previous studies has suggested that the use of SSRIs treatment for prenatal depression has adversely affected fetal growth. However, these results are inconsistent and inconclusive.
