An estimate of extravascular thermal volume (EVTV) calculated from a single thermal indicator (SI) sampled in the pulmonary artery and the femoral artery was compared with direct gravimetric measurements of extravascular lung water (EVLW) on 47 dogs and with simultaneous double indicator (DI) dilution measurements made on 62 dogs and 38 humans with heat as the diffusible indicator and green dye as the intravascular indicator. For the gravimetric measurements the relation was EVTV(SI) = 1.00 EVLW(grav) + 61 ml r = 0.91. When compared with double indicator dilution measurements, the results were EVTV(SI) = 1.10 EVTV(DI) + 17 ml r = 0.94 for dogs and EVTV(SI) = 0.89 EVTV(DI) + 66 ml r = 0.97 for humans. A total of 1880 measurements were made over a range of EVTV(DI) from 70 to 2150 ml. The single indicator measurements of EVTV agrees with the double indicator measurements of EVTV and with the direct gravimetric measurements of EVLW and can be performed with standard catheters and without the withdrawal of blood.

Magnesium ions regulate the Warburg effect to promote the differentiation of enteric neural crest cells into neurons.

Stem Cell Res Ther

January 2025

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, China.

Background: Understanding how enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) differentiate into neurons is crucial for neurogenesis therapy and gastrointestinal disease research. This study explores how magnesium ions regulate the glycolytic pathway to enhance ENCCs differentiation into neurons.

Materials And Methods: We used polymerase chain reaction, western blot, immunofluorescence, and multielectrode array techniques to assess magnesium ions' impact on ENCCs differentiation.

Synthesis of pillar-layered metal-organic frameworks with variable backbones through sequence control.

Nat Chem

January 2025

Engineering Research Center of Photoenergy Utilization for Pollution Control and Carbon Reduction, Ministry of Education, State Key Laboratory of Green Pesticide, College of Chemistry, Central China Normal University, Wuhan, China.

The properties and functions of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be tailored by tuning their structure, including their shape, porosity and topology. However, the design and synthesis of complex structures in a predictable manner remains challenging. Here we report the preparation of a series of isomeric pillar-layered MOFs, and we show that their three-dimensional topology can be controlled by altering the layer stacking.

Monoelemental calibration solutions are the most common reference in elemental analysis, linking measurement results to the International System of Units (SI). National Metrology Institutes (NMI) prepare these solutions as certified reference materials (CRM) and determine their elemental mass fraction with high accuracy. Characterization with high accuracy is one of the most critical steps in CRM production.

Tests for diagnosis of postpartum haemorrhage at vaginal birth.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev

January 2025

School of Medical Sciences, Department of Metabolism and Systems Science, WHO Collaborating Centre for Global Women's Health Research, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK.

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. Accurate diagnosis of PPH can prevent adverse outcomes by enabling early treatment.

Objectives: What is the accuracy of methods (index tests) for diagnosing primary PPH (blood loss ≥ 500 mL in the first 24 hours after birth) and severe primary PPH (blood loss ≥ 1000 mL in the first 24 hours after birth) (target conditions) in women giving birth vaginally (participants) compared to weighed blood loss measurement or other objective measurements of blood loss (reference standards)?
