Late Endovascular Treatment for Ischemic Stroke with Moderate to Large Infarct Volume is Associated with a Better Clinical Prognosis.

Objective: The concept of "time is brain" is crucial for the reperfusion therapy of ischemic stroke. However, the Infarct Growth Rate (IGR) varies among individuals, which is regarded as a more powerful factor than the time when determining infarct volume and its association with clinical outcomes. For stroke patients with a similar infarct volume, a longer time from stroke Onset to Imaging (OTI) correlates with a lower IGR, which may indicate a better prognosis.

Unlocking High-Throughput Plasma-Catalytic Low-Temperature Oxidation of -Hexane over Single-Atom Ag/MnO Catalysts.

The total oxidation of -hexane, a hazardous volatile organic compound (VOC) emitted by the pharmaceutical industry, presents a significant environmental challenge due to limited catalyst activity at low temperatures and poor stability at high temperatures. Here, we present a novel approach that overcomes these limitations by employing single-atom Ag/MnO catalysts coupled with nonthermal plasma (NTP). This strategy achieves exceptional performance in -hexane oxidation at low temperatures, demonstrating 96.

Coal fly ash-derived zeolite for efficient ammoniacal nitrogen removal from freshwater pearl farming wastewater.

Freshwater pearl farming in China generates wastewater high in ammoniacal nitrogen (NH₃-N) posing environmental threats. This study explores the use of coal fly ash (CFA), an industrial waste, to synthesize A-type zeolite for effective NH₃-N removal from pearl farming wastewater. The zeolite was prepared via pickling pretreatment and hydrothermal methods, resulting in a material with favorable adsorption properties, including cubic and spherical microstructures, a specific surface area of 17.

Impact of sleep disruptions on gray matter structural covariance networks across the Alzheimer's disease continuum.

Background: This study explores the impact of sleep disturbances on gray matter structural covariance networks (SCNs) across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum.

Methods: Amyloid-negative participants served as controls, whereas amyloid positive (A+) individuals were categorized into six groups based on cognitive status and sleep quality. SCNs for the default mode network (DMN), salience network (SN), and executive control network (ECN) were derived from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images.

Lipid Metabolic Heterogeneity during Early Embryogenesis Revealed by Hyper-3D Stimulated Raman Imaging.

Studying embryogenesis is fundamental to understanding developmental biology and reproductive medicine. Its process requires precise spatiotemporal regulations in which lipid metabolism plays a crucial role. However, the spatial dynamics of lipid species at the subcellular level remains obscure due to technical limitations.

Prognostic Value of Postpercutaneous Coronary Intervention Murray-Law-Based Quantitative Flow Ratio: Post Hoc Analysis From FLAVOUR Trial.

Background: Coronary physiology measured by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is superior to angiography for assessing the efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Yet, the clinical adoption of post-PCI FFR is limited. Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio (μQFR) may represent a promising alternative, as it can quickly compute FFR from a single angiographic view.

Mendelian randomization studies of risk and protective factors for osteoporosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Mendelian randomization is believed to attenuate the biases inherent in observational studies, yet a meta-analysis of Mendelian randomization studies in osteoporosis has not been conducted thus far. This study aims to evaluate the connection between potential causal factors and the risk of osteoporosis by synthesizing evidence from Mendelian randomization studies.

Methods: The databases PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were systematically searched for Mendelian randomization studies investigating factors influencing osteoporosis up to May 2024.

Factors influencing glycocalyx degradation: a narrative review.

A bibliometric study on the impact of gut microbiota on the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer patients: analysis of the top 100 cited articles.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed oncological treatment by modulating immune responses against tumors. However, their efficacy is subject to inter-patient variability and is associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The human gut microbiota, a complex microbial ecosystem, is increasingly implicated in modulating responses to ICIs.

ATP Binding and Inhibition of Intrinsically Disordered Protein Interactions.

Recent studies have shown that ATP at high physiological concentrations (>5 mM) can inhibit liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) driven by interactions between intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). However, the mechanism underlying such inhibitory effect still remains elusive. Here, we used all-atom molecular dynamics simulation to study the interaction of ATP with two typical IDPs (i.

However, the biogeochemical mechanism underlying the geographic distribution of microbial communities harboring methylating genes () remains unclear. Herein, we revealed significant ( = 0.

Photolytic and Thermal Reactions of [CH(PPh)(μ-N)] and Its Lewis Acid Adducts: N-N Bond Cleavage and Liberation of N.

The known species (PhP)N was previously described as two phosphine donors associated with a doubly Lewis acidic N-unit based on its thermal liberation of N. Herein, we prepare the related species [CH(PPh)(μ-N)] , where the chelation of the N fragment facilitates both N liberation and N-N bond cleavage reactions. In addition, these reactions can be achieved selectively via thermolysis of a Lewis acid adduct of or by direct photolysis, respectively.

Investigating Solvent Effects on the Stability of the Diethylnitroxyl Radical via Electron Paramagnetic Resonance.

Operando electron paramagnetic resonance is used to monitor the light-initiated generation of the diethylnitroxyl radical from diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) and its decay kinetics, thereby unveiling solvent effects on both the electronic structure and stability of the nitroxyl radical. The observed trends in hyperfine coupling constants ( and ) across different solvents align with previously reported values of the 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidoxyl radical (ATEMPO). Regarding the stability of the DEHA radical in various solvents, the obtained decay-kinetic constants () correlated more strongly with than with the permittivity of the solvents.

Effectiveness of inactivated influenza vaccine against laboratory-confirmed influenza in elderly Chinese patients with diabetes: A test-negative design case-control study.

Vaccination coverage for influenza among diabetic populations remains suboptimal. Various factors contribute to this low vaccination rate, with a prominent issue being skepticism among potential vaccine recipients regarding vaccine effectiveness. We conducted a retrospective test-negative case-control study among diabetic patients aged 60 years and older in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China, spanning for four influenza seasons from 2018-19 to 2021-22.

Adiponectin as a potential mediator of the pro-cognitive effects of physical exercise on Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is the primary cause of dementia and imposes a significant socioeconomic burden globally. Physical exercise, as an effective strategy for improving general health, has been largely reported for its effectiveness in slowing neurodegeneration and increasing brain functional plasticity, particularly in aging brains. However, the underlying mechanisms of exercise in cognitive aging remain largely unclear.

A risk prediction model for adult patients with difficult intravenous access.

Background: The challenges posed by difficult intravenous access (DIVA) in clinical treatment are not only related to technical difficulties but also have the potential to affect the quality of patient care and overall experience. It is crucial to adopt effective strategies to address difficult intravenous access. Currently, the assessment of difficult veins largely relies on individual perception and experience, which introduces a significant degree of subjectivity.

Biomimetic polydopamine loaded with janus kinase inhibitor for synergistic vitiligo therapy via hydrogel microneedles.

Background: Both oxidative stress and autoimmune responses play crucial roles in the development of vitiligo. Under oxidative stress, the apoptotic melanocytes expose self-antigens and release high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), triggering autoimmune activation and recruiting CD8 T cells. This process further leads to the destruction of melanocytes, resulting in the lack of melanin granules.
