In the present study we report on the linear and nonlinear optical properties of C(60)-triphenylamine (TPhA) hybrids. The synthesized materials were prepared following the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides onto the skeleton of C(60) forming the TPhA-based monoadduct, equatorial bis-adduct and dumbell C(60). Complementary spectroscopic techniques, such as NMR, MALDI-TOF-MS, and ATR-IR are applied for the structural characterization of the hybrid materials, while intermolecular electronic interactions are investigated by UV-Vis measurements. In all considered cases, C(60) serves as an acceptor while the triphenylamine unit is chosen as a donor. In order to investigate the dependence of the second-order hyperpolarizability on the architecture of the systems (D-A, A-D-A) we use a Z-scan technique employing 532 nm, 35 ps laser pulses. We have found that the total second-order hyperpolarizability of the C(60)-TphA-C(60) system is several times larger than that of TPhA-C(60). The results of experimental measurements are supported by quantum-chemical calculations.

Section of Young Adult Hip Surgery, Division of Sports Medicine, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Background: Many studies have examined the prevalence of acetabular version (AV) and femoral version (FV) abnormalities and their effect on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), but few have explored the prevalence and influence of combined version (CV) abnormalities.
Purpose: To (1) describe the distribution of AV, FV, and CV in the largest cohort to date and (2) determine the relationship between AV, FV, and CV and PROs after hip arthroscopy for FAIS.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Time-resolved coherent Raman spectroscopy (CRS) is a powerful non-linear optical technique for quantitative, in-situ analysis of chemically reacting flows, offering unparalleled accuracy and exceptional spatiotemporal resolution. Its application to large polyatomic molecules, crucial for understanding reaction dynamics, has thus far been limited by the complexity of their rotational-vibrational Raman spectra. Progress in developing comprehensive spectral codes for these molecules, a longstanding goal, has been hindered by prohibitively long computation times required for their spectral synthesis.

Tangerine peel is a traditional Chinese herb and has been widely applied in foods and medicine for its multiple pharmacological effects. Erythropoietin receptor (EPOR), a member of the cytokine receptor family, is widely expressed in multiple tissues in especial kidney and plays protective effects in adverse physiological and pathological conditions. We hypothesized that it might be EPOR agonists existing in Tangerine peel bring such renal benefits.

Objectives: To characterize individuals with a diminished salivary cortisol response to mental stress, assess its association with all-cause mortality, and quantify the mediating effects of the most relevant and modifiable factors to identify potential target for prevention.
Methods: Data from MIDUS II study with a 16-year follow-up, were used to categorize 1129 participants as responders or non-responders based on the existence of increase in salivary cortisol under mental stress. LASSO-logistics analysis identified the most relevant factors.

Background: Prior research indicates a potential link between dyslipidemia and endometriosis (EMs). However, the relationship between remnant cholesterol (RC) and EMs has not been thoroughly investigated. Consequently, looking into and clarifying the connection between RC and EMs was the primary goal of this study.
