Cobalt-chromium layered double hydroxide (CoCr LDH), α- and β- Co(OH) and amorphous Cr(OH) have been synthesized under different reaction conditions. The obtained CoCr LDH was modified by stearic acid (SA) and sodium stearate (SS). The obtained samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Ultraviolet-visible- (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared- (FTIR) and Energy-dispersive X-ray- (EDX) spectroscopy. The influence of reaction conditions on product composition, structural and optical properties of the samples have been discussed in detail. The basal spacing of CoCr-LDH increased from 7.366 Å to 7.428 Å and 25.214Å after the intercalation by stearic acid and sodium stearate, respectively. The average particles size by SEM analyze was estimated to be approximately 100-150 nm and 30-50 nm for CoCr-LDH and CoCr-LDH/SS nanostructures, respectively. Mixed hydroxides like α- and β- Co(OH) have been obtained along with LDH at lower pH value (pH ∼ 7). The number of diffraction peaks corresponding to β-Co(OH) has increased with relatively decreasing of Co ions in the reaction medium. At high chromium concentrations (Co:Cr = 1:3 and 1:5), amorphous Cr(OH) were formed in the experiment.

Objectives: Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Studies have shown that gene polymorphism is associated with the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its role in DKD remains unclear. This study aims to analyze the distribution of alleles and genotypes of gene in patients with T2DM, and investigate the association between genetic polymorphism and DKD susceptibility in T2DM patients, which may provide new ideas for the pathogenesis of DKD.

The main purpose of this study is to characterize the nature of the low-energy singlet excited states of the anthranilic acid homodimer (AA) and their changes (symmetry breaking) caused by deformation of the centrosymmetric, ground state structure of AA towards the geometry of the S state. We employ both the correlated ab initio methods (approximate Coupled Clusters Singles and Doubles-CC2 and CASSCF/NEVPT2) as well as the DFT/TDDFT calculations with two exchange-correlation functionals, i.e.

The concept of non-trivial electronic structure combined with reduced dimensionality presents a promising strategy for advancing optical applications and energy harvesting technologies. Symmetry breaking in low dimensional system enables the emergence of non-linear optical responses, which are greatly amplified by the singular points of band inversion. Here, using first-principles calculations, the significant enhancement of the shift current in Bi nanotubes is investigated, driven by the combined effects of 1D geometry and non-trivial band order.

Article Synopsis
- * A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis were conducted, analyzing existing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these two drugs at Week 24.
- * The results indicated no significant difference in hair regrowth effectiveness between ritlecitinib and baricitinib, but highlighted the need for more research due to uncertainty and effect modifications found in the analysis.
