Two porous, chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Ca(l-lactate)(acetate)(CHOH)(HO) (MOF-1201) and Ca(l-lactate)(acetate)(HO) (MOF-1203), are constructed from Ca ions and l-lactate [CHCH(OH)COO], where Ca ions are bridged by the carboxylate and hydroxyl groups of lactate and the carboxylate group of acetate to give a three-dimensional arrangement of Ca(-COO, -OH) polyhedra supporting one-dimensional pores with apertures and internal diameters of 7.8 and 9.6 Å (MOF-1201) and 4.6 and 5.6 Å (MOF-1203), respectively. These MOFs represent the first examples of extended porous structures based on Ca and lactate. They show permanent porosity of 430 and 160 m g, respectively, and can encapsulate an agriculturally important fumigant, cis-1,3-dichloropropene. MOF-1201 shows a 100 times lower release rate compared with liquid cis-1,3-dichloropropene under the same test conditions (25 °C, air flow rate of 1 cm min). The hydrolysis of MOF-1201 in water makes it the first example of a degradable porous solid carrier for such fumigants.

Objective: To develop and validate a predictive model of 28-day mortality in sepsis based on lactate dehydrogenase-to-albumin ratio (LAR).

Methods: Sepsis patients diagnosed in the department of intensive care medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from August 1, 2017 to September 1, 2022 were retrospective selected. Clinical data, laboratory indicators, disease severity scores [acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA)] were collected.

Patients with diabetes mellitus show an elevated prevalence of psychiatric disorders such as anxiety. We have reported that fear memory, a model related to anxiety as reflected in the freezing response, is enhanced in diabetic mice and was ameliorated by an AMPA receptor antagonist. The present study investigated whether functions of AMPA receptors in the amygdala and hippocampus are altered in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice.
