Article Abstract
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a life-saving therapy for patients with intestinal failure, but it carries the risk of complications, including an increase in liver enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) after long-term use. Patients receiving chronic TPN are also exposed to metabolic stress from both the underlying disease and parenteral nutrition. The aim of this study was to compare the concentration of liver transaminases AST and ALT in relation to the rate of oxygen consumption in platelet mitochondria in patients receiving long-term TPN with the degree of oxidative stress induced by lipid emulsions, and to explain their role in cellular energy metabolism and changes in the liver based on the percentage of genomic DNA damage. The study group consisted of 86 TPN patients, while the control group consisted of 86 healthy volunteers who were fed only orally. The results of the study showed that the percentage of molecular oxygen depended on the type of lipid emulsion supplied. Analyzing time on TPN as a factor, we observed a decrease in percentage genomic DNA damage and an increase in percentage molecular oxygen in cells. It remains unclear whether TPN has a direct effect on genomic DNA damage and the level of molecular oxygen in cells during the course of treatment. In conclusion, this study provides important insights into the potential effects of TPN on liver enzymes and cellular metabolism. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and to develop strategies to minimize the risk of complications associated with TPN.

Nickel-iron-based catalysts are recognized for their high efficiency in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions, yet the underlying mechanisms that drive their superior performance remain unclear. Herein, we revealed the molecular OER mechanism and the structure-intermediate-performance relationship of OER on a phosphorus-doped nickel-iron nanocatalyst (NiFeP). NiFeP exhibited exceptional activity and stability with an overpotential of only 210 mV at 10 mA cm in 1 M KOH and a cell voltage of 1.

Type-I photosensitizers (PSs) are among the most potential candidates for photodynamic therapy (PDT), as their low dependence on oxygen endow them with many advantages for treating hypoxic tumor. However, most of the reported type-I PSs have a contingency of molecular design, because electron transfer (ET) reaction is more difficult to achieve than energy transfer (EET) process. Therefore, it is urgent to understand molecular design mechanisms for type-I PSs.

Artificial photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (HO) from ambient air, water, and sunlight has attracted considerable attention recently. Despite being extremely challenging to synthesis, sp carbon-conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can be powerful and efficient materials for the photosynthesis of HO due to desirable properties. Herein, we report the designed synthesis of an sp carbon-conjugated COF, BTD-spc-COF, from benzothiadiazole and triazine units with high crystallinity and ultralarge mesopores (∼4 nm).

The adsorption of (X = Ni, Pd, and Pt) nanoclusters is simulated by using first-principles methods on MgO(100) and on a MgO monolayer supported on Ag(100), considering the presence of interfacial oxygen. On both the free-standing MgO surface and MgO/Ag, all clusters exhibit robust adhesion and negative charge transfer. molecular dynamics calculations at 200 K demonstrate the stability of the nanoparticles on the MgO/Ag support.

Chitosan is a nontoxic biopolymer with many potential biomedical and material applications due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial properties. Here, fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations and enhanced sampling methods have been used to study the adsorption mechanism of chitosan oligomers on a silica surface from an aqueous solution. The free energy of adsorption of chitosan on a silica surface was calculated to be 0.
