The oxygen dissociation curve is a critical concept in understanding how oxygen is transported in the blood and delivered to tissues. In anaesthesia, inhaled anaesthetic agents are the fundamental tools for managing anaesthesia during surgical procedures. These agents, such as desflurane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane, are known for effects on the central nervous system and cardiovascular stability. However, their impact on haemoglobin's oxygen-binding capacity, represented by shifts in the oxygen dissociation curve, can have significant effects on patient care. This discussion explores the interactions between inhaled anaesthetic agents and the oxygen dissociation curve, focusing on how these drugs alter haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen and the potential clinical consequences of such interactions. Clinical implications: oxygen dissociation curve shifts are crucial in patient management, especially in populations with compromised pulmonary function or those undergoing extensive surgeries. Anaesthesia providers must consider these effects when optimising oxygen delivery and anaesthetic depth.

Recombinant human haemoglobin (rHb) is a tetramer protein with heme as cofactors, which have extensive applications in the fields of biomaterials and biomedical therapeutics. However, due to the poor structural stability, the dissociation of heme, weak oxygen transport efficiency, and lower activity, the utilisation of rHb is severely limited in artificial oxygen carriers. Herein, based on the novel developed high-throughput screening strategies and semi-rational design, the engineered rHb mutant with strong stability and heme-binding ability was obtained.

Background And Objective: Carboxytherapy (CXT) is a minimally invasive procedure based on percutaneous or subcutaneous microinjections of carbon dioxide. Due to the Bohr effect, it influences the hemoglobin dissociation curve, improving tissue oxygenation, angiogenesis, facilitating vascular perfusion, and lymphatic drainage. Recent evidence suggests unconventional applications in dermatologic surgery and aesthetic medicine; these are focused with the present review.

Protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) should exhibit high performance at intermediate temperatures in the range of 400-600 °C. To reduce the operating temperature, more active air electrodes (positrodes) are needed. In the present work, BaCoFeMgYO (BCFMY) is investigated as a positrode material for application in PCFCs as well as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).

Alkaline water electrolysis represents a pivotal technology for green hydrogen production yet faces critical challenges including limited current density and high energy input. Herein, a heterostructured bimetallic nitrides supported RuNi alloy (RuNi/ZrNiN) is developed through in situ epitaxial growth under ammonolysis, achieving exceptional bifunctional activity and durability for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 m KOH electrolyte. The RuNi/ZrNiN exhibits a HER current density of -2 A cm at an overpotential of 392.

The efficient mineralization of phenol and its derivatives in wastewater remains a great challenge. In this study, the bimetallic CuCeO-BTC was screened from a series of MOFs-derived MCeO-BTC (M = La, Cu, Co, Fe, and Mn) catalysts, and the influence of the Cu/Ce ratio on phenol removal by catalytic ozonation was carefully examined. The results indicate that CuCeO-BTC was the best among the CuCeO-BTC (x = 0, 1, 2, and 3) catalysts, with a phenol mineralization efficiency reaching close to 100 % within 200 min, approximately 30.
