Despite increasing use of prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs), there is little knowledge about the biochemical characterization of Chinese PCCs. Six Chinese PCCs were investigated and compared with PCCs (Octaplex®) from Europe. The levels of coagulation factors and inhibitors were detected. The presence of activated coagulation factors was assessed. Furthermore, their thrombin inhibitory capacities, specific activity and purity were assayed. All above parameters of biochemical properties were statistically analyzed. Chinese PCCs contained FⅡ, Ⅶ, Ⅸ and Ⅹ, protein C, S and Z, heparin and extremely low level antithrombin, as well as Octaplex®. The measured FⅨ activities were similar to those declared, however the measured potency of FⅡ, Ⅶ and Ⅹ greatly exceeded the labeled. Though all preparations were negative for activated coagulation factors in non-activated partial thromboplastin time test, the activated coagulation factor Ⅶ (FⅦa) remained in all PCCs and its content differed greatly. Overall, FⅦa content of Chinese PCCs was higher than that of Octaplex®. Further, Chinese PCCs were inferior to Octaplex® in the thrombin inhibitory capacities, specific activity and purity. In summary, compared with Octaplex®, Chinese PCCs' errors about the labeled activity of coagulation factors and probably high risks of thrombosis should be considered.

Background And Purpose: In this study, we aimed to develop and validate a novel nomogram model for predicting 90-day non-favorable clinical outcomes in patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion after endovascular treatment by integrating clinical and MRI features.
Materials And Methods: This multicenter retrospective study analyzed data from 181 patients with vertebrobasilar artery occlusion eligible for endovascular treatment from two Chinese stroke centers. We developed a predictive model for non-favorable clinical outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score >3) using the data of 125 patients from Stroke Center A (2019-2023).

Electrocatalytic synthesis of high-value chemicals has been attracting growing interest owing to its environmentally benign reaction pathways. Among these processes, the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate (NO ) to ammonia (NH), known as NORR, and the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMFOR) stand out as two cornerstone reactions; yet, their efficiency and selectivity pose ongoing challenges. In this study, we introduce a charge manipulation approach for the design of highly efficient electrocatalysts tailored for the simultaneous coupling of NORR and HMFOR.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers came up with a new method using special molecules called cell-penetrating peptide-induced chimera conjugates (cp-PCCs) to target a protein called DHHC3, which helps keep another protein, PD-L1, stable on cancer cells.
- By breaking down DHHC3, this method can reduce PD-L1 levels, making it easier for the immune system to fight tumors.
- In tests with mice, one specific cp-PCC called PCC16 was very effective at lowering PD-L1 and helped fight tumors without causing many side effects, showing promise for cancer treatment.

Aurantii Fructus Immaturus(AFI) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with multiple origins from Citrus aurantium and its legally cultivated variants. With advancements in agricultural biotechnology, many new cultivated varieties have sprung up,leading to an abundance of AFI adulterants and chaos in the herbal medicine markets. This study developed a specific identification method for AFI and its closely related adulterants by examining the appearance trait, content of extract, and multiple ingredients,involving indicators such as the ratio of pulp capsule to cross section diameter(Pc/Cs ratio), the content of extract, and the profile of 11 ingredients.

Post-modification of porous materials with molecular modulators has emerged as a well-established strategy for improving gas adsorption and separation. However, a notable challenge lies in maintaining porosity and the limited applicability of the current method. In this study, we employed the mechanochemical "Cage-on-MOF" strategy, utilizing porous coordination cages (PCCs) with intrinsic pores and apertures as surface modulators to improve the gas adsorption and separation properties of the parent MOFs.
