Postsynthetic modification of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has proven an effective method of synthesizing architectures that have proven challenging to produce via classic solvothermal means. Herein we report the anion-cation assisted solid-state transformation of a three-dimensional MOF (ATF-1) to a series of two-dimensional structures (YCM-21-Z) via treatment with quaternary ammonium halides. It is important to note that this reaction requires no exogoneous building blocks (inorganic cation and/or organic linker) for conversion to occur. This reaction led to the synthesis of a chemically unique framework YCM-21-Bnpy in which phase-pure synthesis cannot be achieved by solvothermal means. The mechanism of transformation was studied with data supporting a nucleophilic halide (Br, Cl, or F) mediated de-intercalation and cation-assisted flattening of the In secondary building unit as the key mechanistic steps.

Article Synopsis
- Luteolin is a natural flavonoid found in various plants and has properties that lower uric acid and act as an antioxidant, but its exact mechanism for treating hyperuricemia nephropathy (HN) is not completely understood.
- This study investigates the effects of luteolin in HN using mouse models and cell cultures, finding that it helps protect kidney tissue and improve renal functions by reducing specific harmful proteins and activating beneficial pathways.
- The results indicate that luteolin aids in kidney injury recovery by enhancing urate excretion and antioxidant activity while also inhibiting xanthine oxidase in the liver, suggesting it could be a potential treatment for HN.

Background: Grapholita molesta is an important and harmful fruit pest worldwide, with widespread feeding hosts. Trypsin, an indispensable hydrolytic digestive protease in the insect gut, is crucial in digestion, growth and development. We analyzed the characteristics of the trypsin-encoding genes, screened for the optimal dose of RNAi mediated by nanocarriers, and investigated various indices of larval growth and development of G.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) and citrinin (CIT) are nephrotoxins found co-occurring in various human/animal food/feed and recognized as a health threat. However, most studies investigate individual effects and neglect their combined nephrotoxic effects in mammals. Previous studies have indicated that organic anion/cation transporters (OATs/OCTs) localized in renal proximal tubules mediate the transport of OTA and CIT.

Here, we report a new state-diagram for aqueous solutions based on concentration-dependent glass-transition temperatures of concentrated and ice freeze-concentrated solutions. Different from the equilibrium phase diagram, this new state-diagram can provide comprehensive information about the hydration numbers of solutes, nonequilibrium vitrification/cold-crystallization, and vitrification/devitrification processes of aqueous solutions in three distinct concentration zones separated by two critical water-content points of only functions of the hydration number. Based on this new state-diagram, we observe the comparable hydration ability of LiTFSI to LiCl and an atypical concentration-dependent cold-crystallization behavior of the LiTFSI-HO system.

Classical Poisson-Boltzmann theory represents a mean-field description of the electric double layer in the presence of only Coulomb interactions. However, aqueous solvents hydrate ions, which gives rise to additional hydration-mediated ion-ion interactions. Experimental and computational studies suggest damped oscillations to be a characteristic feature of these hydration-mediated interactions.
