A series of 1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole-incorporated amide derivatives have been designed and prepared. X-ray crystallographic and (1D and 2D) (1)H NMR studies reveal that these compounds fold into stable U-shaped conformations driven by three-center intramolecular C-H···O hydrogen-bonding formed between the triazole C-5 H atom and the two ether O atoms. Such folded structures make this 1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole skeleton a good candidate to be used as β-turn mimic. To prove this, the formation of a β-hairpin structure induced by this β-turn motif has been further demonstrated.

Rapid thrombolysis is very important to reduce complications caused by vascular blockage. A promising approach for improving thrombolysis efficiency is utilizing the permanent magnetically actuated locomotion of nanorobots. However, the thrombolytic drug transportation efficiency is challenged by in-plane rotating locomotion and the insufficient drug penetration limits further improvement of thrombolysis.

Background: Electrospun nanofiber scaffolds have been widely used in tissue engineering because they can mimic extracellular matrix-like structures and offer advantages including high porosity, large specific surface area, and customizable structure. In this study, we prepared scaffolds composed of aligned and random electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers capable of delivering basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in a sustained manner for repairing damaged tendons.
Results: Aligned and random PCL fiber scaffolds containing bFGF-loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles (BSA-bFGF NPs, diameter 146 ± 32 nm) were fabricated, respectively.

Background: This study explores the correlation between nutritional status, as determined by the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing gastric surgery.
Methods: Data were obtained from the MIMIC-IV 2.2 database for patients aged 18 years or older who underwent gastric surgery.

Vertebrates differ over 100,000-fold in responses to pro-inflammatory agonists such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), complicating use of animal models to study human sepsis or inflammatory disorders. We compared transcriptomes of resting and LPS-exposed blood from six LPS-sensitive species (rabbit, pig, sheep, cow, chimpanzee, human) and four LPS-resilient species (mice, rats, baboon, rhesus), as well as plasma proteomes and lipidomes. Unexpectedly, at baseline, sensitive species already had enhanced expression of LPS-responsive genes relative to resilient species.

Freshwater environments are biodiversity hotspots under multiple pressures, including pesticide exposure. S-metolachlor, a widely used herbicide, can induce genotoxic, cytotoxic and physiological effects in captive fish, but we have a limited understanding of the effects of exposure to S-metolachlor in free-living vertebrates. We carried out an original field experiment using integrative approaches across biological levels and temporal scales.
