Ceramides (CERs) in the stratum corneum (SC) are thought to play a key role in cutaneous barrier function. It has been reported that human SC contains 11 free CER classes and that their profiles are altered in humans with atopic dermatitis (AD). Although decreased proportions of free CERs or quantities of protein-bound CERs in the SC have been reported in dogs with AD, the overall profile of CERs in the canine SC has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was thus to investigate the profile of free CERs in the canine SC and to identify alterations in the CER profiles in dogs with AD. Normal-phase liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry indicated 11 clusters of peaks for free CER classes, similar to those recognized in the human SC. The fractions of free SC CER in dogs with AD and in breed- and age-matched healthy dogs were quantitatively compared using high-performance thin-layer chromatography. CER[EOS], CER[EOP] and CER[NP], which are known to be decreased in the skin of humans with AD, were also decreased in the skin of dogs with AD. These findings highlight canine AD as a spontaneous animal model for investigating the disruption of CER-associated cutaneous barrier functions in the corresponding human disease.

Background The prognostic value of coronary CT angiography (CTA)-derived quantitative flow ratio (CT-QFR) remains unknown. Purpose To determine the prognostic value of CT-QFR in predicting the long-term outcomes of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in comparison with invasive coronary angiography (ICA)/SPECT and to determine the influence of prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on the prognostic value of CT-QFR. Materials and Methods In this secondary analysis of the prospective international CORE320 study, 379 participants who underwent coronary CTA and SPECT within 60 days before ICA between November 2009 and July 2011 were included for follow-up.

The chlor-alkali process is crucial in the modern chemical industry, yet it is highly energy-intensive, consuming about 4 % of global electricity due to the significant overpotential and low selectivity of existing chlorine evolution reaction (CER) electrocatalysts. Although advanced electrocatalysts have reduced the energy demands of the chlor-alkali process, they typically incorporate precious metals. Here, we introduce a novel precious metal-free electrocatalyst, (CoZn)VO@C, with a hollow nanocube structure that exhibits outstanding CER performance.

The chlorine evolution reaction (CER) is a crucial solution for treating chlorine-containing wastewater, a type of wastewater generated during the chemical production process. Electrocatalysts applied are mainly dimensionally stable anodes (DSAs) such as precious metals and their oxides. In order to reduce the amounts of rare metals in the catalysts and to improve the catalytic performance, a hydrogen-passivated transition metal site strategy based on a metal-organic framework, TM(THT) (TM = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Re, Os, Ir, Pt), was proposed to force the CER to proceed at the sulfur (S) site.
