Methyldioxorhenium (MDO)-catalyzed C-O bond cleavage of a variety of lignin β-O-4-model compounds yields phenolic and aldehydic compounds in homogeneous phase under mild reaction conditions. MDO is in situ generated by reduction of methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) and is remarkably stable under the applied reaction conditions allowing its reuse for least five times without significant activity loss. Based on the observed and isolated intermediates, 17 O- and 2 H-isotope labeling experiments, DFT calculations, and several spectroscopic studies, a reaction mechanism is proposed.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the biliary tract are extremely rare due to a paucity of Kulchitsky cells. While their preoperative diagnosis remains challenging due to the lack of specific diagnostic markers and imaging findings, there have been no detailed reports describing the diagnostic utility of various imaging modalities for bile duct NETs at the junction of the cystic and common hepatic ducts. We report a case of a woman in her 40s who presented with jaundice and elevated hepatobiliary enzymes.

Purpose: Nitrofurantoin (NITRO), a long-standing antibiotic to treat urinary tract infections, is activated by Nitro reductases. This activation mechanism has led to its exploration for repositioning applications in controlling and treating breast cancer, which express a Nitro reductase gene.
Methods: NITRO Cubosomes were developed using hot homogenization according to 2-full factorial design.

CVP-2 is a homogeneous polysaccharide extracted from the whole plant of Christia vespertilionis, with an average molecular weight of approximately 92,920 Da. Its main chain consists of repeating units of [3,5)-α-L-Araf-(1] → [5)-α-L-Araf-(1]→, with branches at the C-3 position: branch 1 is α-L-Araf-(1→, and branch 2 is α-L-Araf-(1 → 4)-. Additionally, the structure includes β-D-Gclp-(1 → [4)-β-D-Glap-(1] → 5)-α-L-Araf-(1→.

Objectives: The enormous burden that cardiovascular diseases put on individuals and societies warrants reliable biomarkers of disease risk to optimize disease prevention. We studied longitudinal movement (LMov) in arterial walls using ultrasound of the common carotid artery (CCA). We believe that LMov could be a sensitive biomarker of cardiovascular health and in this study, we evaluate the intra-observer repeatability and inter-observer precision of our method.

School of Materials and Energy, Yunnan University, Kunming, 650091, China.
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved impressive efficiency, but their commercialization is limited by issues like chemical homogeneity within the perovskite films, leading to defects and phase segregation, which severely compromise the stability and performance of PSCs. This study presents a novel approach to overcoming these barriers by employing N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a multifunctional crosslinking agent within the perovskite structure. MBA enhances chemical uniformity both laterally and vertically, improves crystallinity, and boosts overall film stability by forming a robust crosslinked network that regulates nucleation and growth dynamics during the pre-seeding process.
