Controllable Synthesis of Porphyrin-Based 2D Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks with Thickness- and Metal-Node-Dependent Photocatalytic Performance.

Synthesizing 2D metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) in high yields and rational tailoring of the properties in a predictable manner for specific applications is extremely challenging. Now, a series of porphyrin-based 2D lanthanide MOFs (Ln-TCPP, Ln=Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, TCPP=tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin) with different thickness were successfully prepared in a household microwave oven. The as-prepared 2D Ln-TCPP nanosheets showed thickness-dependent photocatalytic performances towards photooxidation of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (1,5-DHN) to synthesize juglone.

[Primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction induced by left main artery occlusion or severe stenosis].

Objective: The effects of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) induced by left main (LM) artery occlusion were analyzed retrospectively in this study.

Methods: A total of 1343 consecutive AMI patients who underwent primary PCI between January 1995 and December 2004 were retrospectively studied.

Results: LM occlusion or severe stenosis were found in 11 patients [all male, mean age (56.

[The safety and efficacy of Cypher drug-eluting stent: results from a six months follow-up study in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of Cypher drug-eluting stent implanted after the emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods: From Nov. 2002 to Dec.

Apolipoprotein E gene polymorphisms and risk for coronary artery disease in Chinese Xinjiang Uygur and Han population.

Objective: To examine the relationship between apolipoprotein E (Apo E) gene polymorphism and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), analyzing association of polymorphism with classical risk factors.

Methods: A total of 124 patients (including 84 Han population and 40 Uygur population) with angiographically verified CAD or myocardial infarction were prospectively evaluated. Data referring to hypertension, diabetes, and tobacco consumption were recorded.
