Gastrozymin differed from secretin in several chromatographic and solubility characteristics. However, it showed a spectrum of activities which resembled those of secretin, including stimulation of pepsin, hepatic bile secretion, and pancreatic bicarbonate secretion. This study revealed differences in the quantitative ratios of these activities when induced by secretin or gastrozymin. In particular, if the ratio of the stimulation of pepsin secretion to that of pancreatic juice bicarbonate was 1:1 for secretin, it was 4:1 for gastrozymin. Further purification will show whether all these effects are induced by one molecule or by several peptides. It will also determine whether there is a structural relationship between gastrozymin and secretin or its precursor(s).

Developing highly efficient deep-blue multi-resonance thermal activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials for ultra-high-definition organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) displays that meet the stringent BT.2020 standard remains a significant challenge. In this study, we present a strategy to achieve high-performance deep-blue MR-TADF emitters by integrating a large π-conjugated double-boron-embedded MR skeleton with strategically positioned peripheral steric hindrance groups.

Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and its prevalence is estimated at 1% worldwide. The home environment can influence activities and roles for autistic individuals, however there are limited assessments that focus on the home environment for this population.
Purpose: To identify existing assessment tools of home environment for autistic individuals in the literature.

Autistic individuals often display social-communicative differences affecting aspects of daily living. The present study assessed the feasibility and potential efficacy of a dance-based exergame for enhancing autistic children's social-communication skills. A mixed method, within-subject, pre-test/post-test study design was employed.

Rationale: COVID-19-associated acute-respiratory distress syndrome (C-ARDS) results from a direct viral injury associated with host excessive innate immune response mainly affecting the lungs. However, cytokine profile in the lung compartment of C-ARDS patients has not been widely studied, nor compared to non-COVID related ARDS (NC-ARDS).
Objectives: To evaluate caspase-1 activation, IL-1 signature, and other inflammatory cytokine pathways associated with tissue damage using post-mortem lung tissues, bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF), and serum across the spectrum of COVID-19 severity.

An interesting approach of including an upconverter in the MoS counter electrode can yield broadband light harvesting Pt-free DSSC assembly. Here different upconverter (UC) nanoparticles (Yb, Er incorporated NaYF, YF, CeO & YO) were synthesized and loaded in MoS thin film by hydrothermal method. The inclusion of UCs in MoS films exposed without any secondary formation of upconverters and the uniform deposition of the films are confirmed through XRD and FESEM analysis respectively.
