Titanium-based catalysts are needed to achieve electrocatalytic N reduction to NH with a large NH yield and a high Faradaic efficiency (FE). One of the cheapest and most abundant metals on earth, iron, is an effective dopant for greatly improving the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) performance of TiO nanoparticles in ambient N -to-NH conversion. In 0.5 m LiClO , Fe-doped TiO catalyst attains a high FE of 25.6 % and a large NH yield of 25.47 μg h  mg at -0.40 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode. This performance compares favorably to those of all previously reported titanium- and iron-based NRR electrocatalysts in aqueous media. The catalytic mechanism is further probed with theoretical calculations.

Background: Despite the insights into the role of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1) in various liver diseases, the expression and its prognostic significance in patients with hepatitis E virus-related acute liver failure (HEV-ALF) remain unclear. This study delved into the assessment of serum exosome-derived ALDH1A1 expression and its prognostic implications for HEV-ALF patients.

Methods: Between January 2018 and December 2023, a total of 226 individuals with acute hepatitis E (AHE) and 210 patients with HEV-ALF were recruited from member units of Chinese Consortium for the Study of Hepatitis E.

Background: Care transitions are complex and can make patients vulnerable to adverse events. Poor communication among clinicians, patients, and their caregivers is a critical gap during these periods of transition. Technology solutions such as platform-based patient-clinician digital health interventions (DHIs) can provide support and education to patients.

Efficient analysis of active ingredient in complex natural products is crucial for drug discovery, but developing a simple method for this is challenging. The discovery of drugs against bacterial resistance is urgent because drug-resistant bacteria produce β-lactamases, which inactivate antibiotics and increase infection risks, particularly the AmpC β-lactamase. Here, an integrated analytical model based on colorimetric sensing and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) affinity chromatography was developed for screening AmpC β-lactamase inhibitors.
