Evidence was obtained in vitro for the participation of lecithin-cholesterol acyl transferase in redistribution of subfractions of high density lipoproteins (HDLP) in blood plasma of newborn children. Content of some HDLP subfractions (HDLP 2c and HDLP 2b) was decreased and content of the other subfractions (HDLP 2a) was increased after incubation of blood plasma of the newborn children with lecithin-cholesterol acyl transferase preparation purified 100-fold.

In the pursuit of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs), the development of stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is critical to address issues such as lithium dendrite growth and low Coulombic efficiency. Herein, we propose a facile strategy for the in-situ fabrication of a LiCl-rich artificial SEI layer on Li surfaces through reaction of MoCl5 with Li (Li@MoCl5). The resulting artificial SEI significantly enhances the uniformity of Li deposition, effectively suppresses dendrite formation, and improves electrochemical performance.

The advancement of photocatalytic technology for solar-driven hydrogen (H2) production remains hindered by several challenges in developing efficient photocatalysts. A key issue is the rapid recombination of charge carriers, which significantly limits the light-harvesting ability of materials like BiOCl and Cu2SnS3 quantum dots (CTS QDs), despite the faster charge mobility and quantum confinement effect, respectively. Herein, a BiOCl/CTS (BCTS) heterostructure was synthesized by loading CTS QDs onto BiOCl 2D nanosheets (NSs), that demonstrated excellent photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation.

Lipid-lowering drugs have been used in clinics widely. It is unclear whether the drugs have an effect on renal failure. We chose high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ieu-b-109), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ieu-a-300), triglyceride (ieu-b-111), and total cholesterol (ebi-a-GCST90038690) as exposures.

Objectives: Positive resection margins after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) most often demands a repeat surgery. To preoperatively identify patients at risk of positive margins, a multivariable model has been developed that predicts positive margins after BCS with a high accuracy. This study aimed to externally validate this prediction model to explore its generalizability and assess if additional preoperatively available variables can further improve its predictive accuracy.

Background: Multiple meta-analyses (MAs) have demonstrated that six pharmacotherapies, including orlistat, liraglutide, phentermine/topiramate, naltrexone/bupropion, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, improve weight loss and weight maintenance. However, few studies have synthesized and evaluated the quality of this evidence.
Objective: To identify the relevant MAs of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that explored the association between the six pharmacotherapies and obesity-related health outcomes and adverse events (AEs).
