The transformation of Mn(II) glycolates (glc) between the three-dimensional coordination polymer [Mn(glc)2]n (1) and discrete mononuclear phase [Mn(glc)2 (H2O)2] (2) can be reversibly switched by water molecules, which dramatically change the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Mn(II) glycolates from the maximum of 6.9 J kg(-1) K(-1) in 1 to 60.3 J kg(-1) K(-1) in 2. This case example reveals that the effect of magnetic coupling on MCE plays a dominant role over that of other factors such as magnetic density for 3d-type magnetic refrigerants.

: Postoperative abdominal adhesion is a prevalent complication following abdominal surgery, with the incidence of adhesion reaching up to 90%, which may precipitate a range of adverse outcomes. Although fibrous membranes loaded with various anti-inflammatory or other drugs have been proposed for anti-adhesion, most of them suffer from drug-induced adverse effects. : In this study, a lecithin-based electrospun polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibrous membrane (L/P-NM) was developed for the prevention of postoperative abdominal adhesion, utilizing the hydration lubrication theory.

Background: Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) are widely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to enhance image contrast by interacting with water molecules, thus improving diagnostic capabilities. However, understanding the residual accumulation of GBCA in tissues after administration remains an area of active research. This highlights the need for advanced analytical techniques capable of investigating interactions between GBCAs and biopolymers, such as type I collagen, which are abundant in the body.

This study introduces a novel method for the fabrication of concave microwells involving water vapor permeation through polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). This method leverages the exceptional water vapor permeability of PDMS to enable a scalable and cost-effective fabrication process, addressing the limitations of existing techniques such as photolithography that are resource-intensive and complex. PDMS is more permeable to water vapor than to other gas molecules, resulting in the formation of microwells.

As a small-molecule gelator used as a stabilizer in gel emulsions, it has numerous advantages, such as low dosage, independence from phase ratios, and ease of control. In this study, a cholesterol derivative (CSA) was designed and synthesized to be used as a stabilizer for gel emulsions. Gelation experiments demonstrated that this small molecule could gelate various organic solvents, including linear alkanes, toluene, isoamyl alcohol, and acetone.

Studies on radiosensitization of biological damage by O began about a century ago and it remains one of the most significant subjects in radiobiology. It has been related to increased production of oxygen radicals and other reactive metabolites, but only recently to the action of the numerous low-energy electrons (LEEs: 0-30 eV) produced by ionizing radiation. We provide the first complete set of G-values (yields of specific products per energy deposited) for all conformational damages induced to plasmid DNA by LEEs (G (O)) and 1.
