NH is a typical alkaline gaseous pollutant widely derived from industrial production and poses great risks to humans and other biota. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have excellent adsorption capacities relative to materials traditionally used to adsorb NH. However, in practice, applications of MOFs as adsorbents are restricted because of its powder form. We prepared a polyamide (PA) macroporous polyester substrate using an emulsion template method and modified the surface with polyethylenimine (PEI) to improve the MOF growth efficiency on the substrate. The difficulty of loading the MOF because of the fast nucleation rate inside the PA macroporous polyester substrate was solved using a stepwise impregnation layer-by-layer (LBL) growth method, and a PA-PEI-MOF303(Al) hierarchical pore composite that very efficiently adsorbed NH was successfully prepared. The PA-PEI-MOF303(Al) adsorption capacity for NH was 16.07 mmol·g at 298 K and 100 kPa, and the PA-PEI-MOF303(Al) could be regenerated repeatedly under vacuum at 423 K. The NH adsorption mechanism was investigated by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and by performing two-dimensional correlation analysis. Unlike for the MOF303(Al) powder, the formation of multi-site hydrogen bonds between Al-O-Al/C-OH, N-H, -OH, C=O, and NH in PA-PEI-MOF303(Al) was found to be an important reason for efficient NH adsorption. This study will provide a reference for the preparation of other MOF-polymer composites.

Increasing the efficiency of visible-light-driven water splitting systems will require improvements in the charge separation characteristics and redox reaction kinetics associated with narrow-bandgap photocatalysts. Although the traditional approach of loading a single cocatalyst on selective facets provides reaction sites and reduces the reaction overpotential, pronounced surface charge carrier recombination still results in limited efficiency increases. The present study demonstrates a significant improvement in the hydrogen evolution activity of the layered single-crystal photocatalyst YTiOS.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
H3K27 dimethylation dynamics reveal stepwise establishment of facultative heterochromatin in early mouse embryos.

Laboratory for Epigenome Inheritance, RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences, Yokohama, Japan.
Facultative heterochromatin is formed by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-deposited H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and PRC1-deposited H2AK119 mono-ubiquitylation (H2AK119ub1). How it is newly established after fertilization remains unclear. To delineate the establishment kinetics, here we profiled the temporal dynamics of H3K27 dimethylation (H3K27me2), which represents the de novo PRC2 catalysis, in mouse preimplantation embryos.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and oocyte retrieval (OR) in prepubertal and peripubertal patients who are seeking oocyte cryopreservation.
- Researchers reviewed data from 20 patients aged approximately 15, assessing ovarian function through hormone levels and follicle counts, and found no complications related to the procedures.
- Results showed a mean retrieval of 5 oocytes, with a maturation rate of 75%, and highlighted the positive relationship between antral follicle count and the number of retrieved oocytes.
Comparative influence of inappropriate gestational weight gain on pregnancy outcomes in IVF-conceived and spontaneously conceived twin pregnancies.

Objective: To investigate the influence of inappropriate gestational weight gain (GWG) on pregnancy outcomes in twin pregnant women with in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 2992 twin pregnant women and categorized the participants as follows: (i) they were classified into spontaneous conception (SC) or IVF groups based on whether they received IVF treatment, and (ii) they were categorized into inadequate, optimal, or excessive GWG groups according to the International Organization for Migration Twin Pregnancy Guidelines. Initially, the study investigated the separate effects of IVF treatment and different levels of GWG on the outcomes of twin pregnancies.
