The synthesis, characterization, and cyclopropanation activity of tetrahedral copper(I) complexes with bipyridine- and phenanthroline-based ligands containing strongly coordinated tetraphenylborate anions are reported. Cu(I)(bpy)(BPh(4)), Cu(I)(phen)(BPh(4)), and Cu(I)(3,4,7,8-Me(4)phen)(BPh(4)) complexes are the first examples in which the BPh(4)(-) counterion chelates a transition metal center in bidentate fashion through eta(2) pi interactions with two of its phenyl rings.

Zinc is an important physiological cation, and its misregulation is implicated in various diseases. It is therefore important to be able to image zinc by non-invasive methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In this work, we have successfully synthesized a novel Gd3+-based complex specifically for Zn2+ sensing by MRI.

Cisplatin-based platinum compounds are important clinical chemotherapeutic agents that participate in most tumor chemotherapy regimens. Through density-functional theory calculations, the formation and stability of the inorganic oxide carrier, the mechanisms of the hydrolysis reaction of the activated platinum compound, and its binding mechanism with DNA bases can be studied. The higher the oxidation state of Pt (II to IV), the more electrons transfer from the magnesia-gold composite material to the platinum compound.

The local application of broad-spectrum antibiotics via polymeric drug delivery systems is a promising alternative to their systemic administration in wound healing, prevention and treatment of infections associated with surgical implants. However, low and poorly controlled loading efficiency and 100% burst release are common problems for the materials with weak physical interaction between antibiotics and polymeric matrices. Here, we report a new multifunctional carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) cryogel, which efficiently prevents bacterial adhesion to the surface, kills bacteria in the solution via controlled release of ciprofloxacin (CIP), and promotes fibroblast proliferation.

Enhanced Ammonia Capture for Adsorption Heat Pumps Using a Salt-Embedded COF Aerogel Composite.

November 2024

School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52828, Republic of Korea.

Adsorption heat pumps (AHPs) have garnered significant attention due to their efficient use of low-grade thermal energy, eco-friendly nature, and cost-effectiveness. However, a significant challenge lies in developing adsorbent materials that can achieve a high uptake capacity, rapid adsorption rates, and efficient reversible release of refrigerants, such as ammonia (NH). Herein, we developed and synthesized a novel salt-embedded covalent organic framework (COF) composite material designed for enhanced NH capture.

FSH/LH co-stimulation in Advanced Maternal Age (AMA) and hypo-responder patients - Arabian gulf delphi consensus group.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

December 2024

The Fertility Clinic, Skive Regional Hospital, Skive, Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Skive, Denmark.

Background: In a global effort to assess expert perspectives on the use of recombinant gonadotropins, recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-hLH) and recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH), a consensus meeting was held in Dubai. The key aim was to address three critical questions: What are the factors that influence follicle response to gonadotropins? Which categories of patients are most likely to benefit from LH supplementation? And what are the optimal management strategies for these patients?

Methods: A panel of thirty-six experts reviewed and refined the initial statements and references proposed by the Scientific Coordinator. Consensus was defined as agreement or disagreement by more than two-thirds (66%) of the panel members for each statement.
