The preparation of Pt/cerium oxide and highly ordered mesoporous carbon (Pt/CeO/OMC) nanohybrids is reported. CeO can be used as an active material that enhances the electrocatalytic properties of Pt nanoparticles. OMC exhibits excellent electrical conductivity and large specific surface area, which makes it a highly promising electrocatalyst support. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of the catalytic performance of Pt/CeO and excellent conductivity of OMC supports, the new nanocomposite of Pt/CeO/OMC are able to create novel features of electrocatalytic activities. Pt/CeO/OMC tri-component composite was used as an excellent sensing platform for the determination of adrenaline. The developed sensor exhibited excellent activity and convincing analytical performance towards adrenaline, such as wide linear range, high sensitivity, low limit of detection, and low limit of quantification. In addition, the recoveries ranging from 93.4 to 103.6% were obtained in human serum samples. The successful preparation of Pt/CeO/OMC tri-component composite may promote the development of novel electrocatalyst and facilitate the design of new electrochemical sensors.

: Despite the prevalence of impaired renal function in acute heart failure (AHF) patients, the intricate relationship between glomerular, tubular, and metabolic renal function remains unexplored. We aimed to investigate the co-occurrence of glomerular, tubular, and metabolic renal dysfunction in AHF and their impact on prognosis. : eGFR, spot urine sodium, and HCO were measured in 243 patients hospitalized for AHF.

Composite hydrogels containing apatite-like particles can act as scaffolds for osteoblast proliferation, with applications in bone tissue engineering. In this respect, porous biocompatible hydrogels were obtained from chitosan, oxidized pullulan, and PVA in different ratios. The stability of the hydrogels was ensured both by covalent bonds between aldehyde groups of oxidized pullulan and free amino groups of chitosan, and by physical bonds formed during freeze-thaw cycles and lyophilization.

In this study, a tri-component composite named Zr/SiW/GO was meticulously prepared through an ultrasonic-assisted method. This composite incorporates zirconium nanoparticles (Lewis acid), a negatively charged Keggin type polyoxometalate, and graphene oxide, and serves as a remarkable heterogeneous catalyst. The Keggin component plays multiple roles as reducing, encapsulating, and bridging agents, resulting in a cooperative effect among the three components that significantly enhances the catalytic activity.

Hydrogel based matrices and titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles (NPs) are well established materials in bone tissue engineering. Nevertheless, there is still a challenge to design appropriate composites with enhanced mechanical properties and improved cell growth. Progressing in this direction, we synthesized nanocomposite hydrogels by impregnating TiO NPs in a chitosan and cellulose-based hydrogel matrix containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), to enhance the mechanical stability and swelling capacity.
