Background: The mechanisms underlying the complex relationship between autoimmune hypothyroidism and neurological disorders remain unclear. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of associations between alternative splicing, transcriptomics, and proteomics data and autoimmune hypothyroidism.

Methods: Splicing-wide association studies (SWAS), proteome-wide association studies (PWAS), and transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) were used to identify genes and proteins that regulate autoimmune hypothyroidism within the brain axis.

Rationale And Objectives: Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used and offers an additional viewpoint for evaluating extrapulmonary symptoms, disease severity, and muscle atrophy. This study assessed whether the pectoralis muscle area (PMA) and pectoralis muscle density (PMD) are lower in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than in healthy controls and elucidated their relationships with these variables.

Materials And Methods: The participants were enrolled in the hospital outpatient clinic between October 2023 and May 2024.

The optimal combination of metal ions and ligands for sensing materials was estimated by using a data-driven model developed in this research. This model utilized advanced computational algorithms and a data set of 100,000 literature pieces. The semiconductor metal oxide (SMO) that is most suitable for detecting triethylamine (TEA) with the highest probability was identified by using the Word2vec model, which employed the maximum likelihood method.

The sluggish water oxidation process is a severe obstacle for solar-driven water splitting. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a suitable photocatalyst with reduced energy barrier for strong oxidation. In this study, a Z-scheme BiVO/NiCoO (BVO/NCO) heterojunction system was designed by decorating ultrathin nickel-cobalt (NiCoO) spinel nanosheets on BiVO as an efficient photocatalyst for water oxidation.

Herein, a 1D zinc coordination polymer [Zn(bibp)Cl] () was assembled from the reaction of 4,4'-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-biphenyl (bibp) with ZnCl. Through a calcination-thermolysis strategy, sponge-like highly porous carbon was prepared by employing the coralloid sample of as the precursor. For comparisons, a series of activated carbon () was obtained by the similar heating process on the mixture of bibp with ZnCl at different mass ratios.

In this study, we have introduced a facile, effective and low-cost process of in-situ vulcanization for preparing α-MnS@C composite via simple calcination-thermolysis of one manganese coordination polymer (CP-1-ZX). In this procedure, the 1D chain [-Mn-SO-] in CP-1-ZX is completely reduced into α-MnS by the as-synthesized carbon. So the in-situ vulcanization provides an atom-economy route to fabricate sulfides by using least synthetic steps and sulfur sources.

In this work, three Cu metal-organic framework samples with tunable rhombic, squama, and trucated bipyramid morphologies have been synthesized at 0, 25, and 60 °C, respectively, and further employed as precursors to initially prepare Cu@C composites by the calcination-thermolysis procedure. Then Cu@C composites have been etched with HCl and subsequently activated with KOH to obtain activated porous carbon (APC-0, -25, and -60). Interestingly, APC-25 presents a loose multilevel morphology of cabbage and possesses the largest specific surface area (1880.

Six isomorphous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with a 3D window-beam architecture have been synthesized from solvothermal reactions, and are named Zn, Cd, Ni, Co, Mn and Cu-MOF, respectively. The series of MOFs was utilized as precursors to synthesize MOF-derived carbon with different morphologies. Zn and Cd-MOFs lead to the derivation of porous carbons (PCs), which exhibit remarkable BET specific surface areas.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as an important kind of porous inorganic-organic hybrid materials with inherent outstanding physicochemistry characteristics, can be widely applied as versatile precursors for the facile preparation of functional MOF-derived materials. However, there are plenty of sophisticated factors during the synthetic process, which is far from reaching the goal of effectively controlling the nature of MOF-derived materials (such as the composition, morphology and surface area). Therefore, it is urgently necessary to develop regular protocols and concepts for controllable syntheses of MOF-derived materials.

A peculiar copper metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) was synthesized by a self-assembly method, which presents a 3-fold interpenetrating diamondoid net based on the square-planar Cu(II) node. Although it exhibits a high degree of interpenetration, the Cu-MOF still exhibits a one-dimensional channel, which provides a template for constructing porous materials through the "precursor" strategy. Furthermore, the explosive ClO4(-) ion, which resided in the channel, could induce the quick decomposition of organic ingredients and release a huge amount of gas, which is beneficial for the porosity of postsynthetic materials.
