The formation of volatile products during the reaction of As(III: ), As(V: ), MeAsO(OH)(2), and Me(2)AsO(OH) with aqueous NaBH(4) has been investigated, and the formation of arsanes, diarsanes, and triarsanes has been detected. The presence of triarsanes is reported here for the first time. Diarsanes and triarsanes are likely formed in condensation cascade reactions, whereas trimethylarsane arises via the transfer of a methyl group. The formation of volatile by-products is considerably reduced by increasing the acidity of the medium and the concentration of NaBH(4) or by the addition of thiols, such as cysteine. A reaction scheme is proposed which reconciles the evidence reported herein and elsewhere in the literature that is valid for both analytical (trace analysis) and non-analytical reaction conditions.

Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) significantly impact Earth's climate and human health. Although the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been recognized as the major contributor to the atmospheric SOA budget, the mechanisms by which this process produces SOA-forming highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) remain unclear. A major challenge is navigating the complex chemical landscape of these transformations, which traditional hypothesis-driven methods fail to thoroughly investigate.

Studies have shown that gut microbiota (GM) and its metabolites, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), are associated with the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). This study explored the clinical and laboratory evidence of the relationship of GM and SCFAs to PMO and attempted to determine the potential mechanism of action. 18 patients (Collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University between January 2021 and August 2021) were included in this retrospective study, including 10 PMO women and 8 healthy young women as the healthy control (HC) group from Guangzhou, China.

This work is focused on the synthesis and performance of Ni(PO)-based catalysts doped with Cu, Co, Mn, Ce, Zr, and Mg for the complete oxidation of ethanol, aiming at reducing emissions from ethanol-blended gasoline. Nickel phosphate was prepared via the co-precipitation method, followed by impregnation with the specified dopants. The catalysts were thoroughly characterized by XRD, N-physisorption, XRF, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, FESEM, NH-TPD, CO-TPD, and H-TPR to explain their performance.

Polyglucosans are glycogen molecules with overlong chains, which are hyperphosphorylated in the neurodegenerative Lafora disease (LD). Brain polyglucosan bodies (PBs) cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases including Lafora disease and adult polyglucosan body disease (ABPD), for which treatments, biomarkers, and good understanding of their pathogenesis are currently missing. Mutations in the genes for the phosphatase laforin or the E3 ubiquitin ligase malin can cause LD.
