Article Synopsis
  • Research found that Tmem74 mice displayed behaviors related to both autism and anxiety, linked to increased activity in certain brain cells called pyramidal neurons (PNs) in the prelimbic cortex (PL).
  • Chemogenetic techniques showed that restoring Tmem74 or inhibiting PNs reversed these behaviors, suggesting a potential treatment avenue.
  • Alterations in specific connections from the PL to other brain areas influenced the hyperactivity of these PNs, revealing distinct circuits that contribute to autism-like and anxiety-like behaviors.

Purpose: Problem solving has been defined as "a goal-directed sequence of cognitive and affective operations as well as behavioural responses to adapting to internal or external demands or challenges. Studies have shown that some nurses lack rational thinking and decision-making ability to identify patients' health problems and make clinical judgements, and have poor cognition and response to some clinical problems, easy to fall into problem-solving dilemma. This study aimed to understand the influencing factors of clinical nurses' problem solving dilemma, to provide a basis for developing training strategies and improving the ability of clinical nurses in problem solving.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant tumor originating from intrahepatic bile ducts. Surgical therapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are taken to treat this disease, but it is prone to recurrence and metastasis, with poor prognosis. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore new targets and molecular mechanisms for the development of cholangiocarcinoma cells.

Mo-Ni coatings were prepared on Ni alloy by electrodeposition method. The properties of microhardness, wear weight loss and friction coefficients, and thermal expansion of the coatings were investigated, respectively. Mo-Ni coatings were characterized with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), energy-dispersive analyses of X-ray (EDAX), scanning electron microcopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques, respectively.

Curcumin, a phenolic antioxidant compound derived from the rhizome of the turmeric plant Curcuma longa, has proven to be a modulator of intracellular signaling pathways that control cancer cell growth, inflammation, invasion and apoptosis, revealing its anticancer potential. In this study, a Glycyrrhetinic Acid-Modified Curcumin-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (Cur-GA-PEG-NLC) was prepared by the film ultrasound method to improve the tumor-targeting ability. The drug content was detected by an UV spectrophotometry method.

In the title complex, [Pr(C(9)H(4)N(2)O(4))(C(2)H(3)O(2))(H(2)O)](n), the Pr(III) ion is coordinated by five O atoms and one N atom from four benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxyl-ate ligands, two O atoms from an acetate ligand and one water mol-ecule, giving a tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. The benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxyl-ate and acetate ligands connect the Pr(III) ions, forming a layer in the ac plane; the layers are further linked by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking inter-actions between neighboring pyridine rings [the centroid-centroid distance is 3.467 (1) Å], assembling a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.

In the title compound, C(10)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(16)H(9)O(8) (-)·2H(2)O, both the cation and anion possess crystallographically imposed centres of symmetry, causing the nitro-gen-bound H atom in the 4-(4-pyrid-yl)pyridinium cation and the acidic H atom of the carboxyl-ate groups at the 3 and 3' positions in the anion to be disordered over two positions with equal occupancies. In the crystal packing, the cations, anions and water mol-ecules are connected by O-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (20). These layer are further connected into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water mol-ecules as H-atom donors and by weak π-π stacking inter-actions between neighbouring benzene and pyridine rings, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.
