Prediction of binding affinity and enthalpy of CB7 with alkaloids by attach-pull-release molecular dynamics simulations study.

Host-guest complex has attracted much attention because of their fantastic capability. Accurate prediction of their binding affinity and enthalpy is essential to the rational design of guest molecules. The attach-pull-release (APR) method proposed by Henriksen et al.

Correction: Enhanced photoluminescence stability and internal defect evolution of the all-inorganic lead-free CsEuCl perovskite nanocrystals.

Correction for 'Enhanced photoluminescence stability and internal defect evolution of the all-inorganic lead-free CsEuCl perovskite nanocrystals' by Yalei Gao , , 2022, , 18860-18867, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2CP01374F.

Enhanced photoluminescence stability and internal defect evolution of the all-inorganic lead-free CsEuCl perovskite nanocrystals.

Perovskite materials are prominent candidates for many high-performance optoelectronic devices. The rare-earth lead-free CsEuCl perovskite nanocrystals are extremely unstable, which makes it very difficult to study their physicochemical properties and applications. Herein, we improved the stability of rare-earth based CsEuCl nanocrystals by employing a silica-coating for the first time.

Assessment of risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction after coronary artery bypass surgery: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

To find out risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and to provide basis for clinical prevention of POCD. A total of 88 patients who underwent CABG were surveyed with Telephone Questionnaire (TICS-M) for their cognitive impairment after 3, 7, 21, 90, 180 days post-surgery. The occurrence of POCD was diagnosed by Neuropsychological Battery which included Vocabular Learning Test (VLT), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Trail Making Test (TMT) and Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT).

Chronic unpredictable stress exacerbates surgery-induced sickness behavior and neuroinflammatory responses via glucocorticoids secretion in adult rats.

Methods: Sprague-Dawley adult male rats (12-14 weeks old) were exposed to 14-day CUS and then subjected to partial hepatectomy 24 h after the last stress session. The rats were pretreated with an antagonist of the glucocorticoids (GCs) receptor RU486 (30 mg/kg, i.p.

Prior stressor exposure delays the recovery of surgery-induced cognitive impairment and prolongs neuroinflammation in aged rats.

Unlabelled: Increasing evidence indicates that stress potentiates pro-inflammatory response to a subsequent peripheral immune challenge. The present study investigated if prior exposure to inescapable tailshock (IS) delayed the recovery of surgery-induced spatial learning and memory impairment and prolonged hippocampus interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 expression.

Methods: A total of 192 aged rats were trained with Morris water-maze (MWM) for 6 consecutive days.
