RESUMO

Photocatalytic ozonation is considered to be a promising approach for the treatment of refractory organic pollutants, but the design of efficient catalyst remains a challenge. Surface modification provides a potential strategy to improve the activity of photocatalytic ozonation. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were first performed to check the interaction between O3 and TiO2-OH (surface hydroxylated TiO2) or TiO2-F (surface fluorinated TiO2), and the results suggest that TiO2-OH displays better O3 adsorption and activation than does TiO2-F, which is confirmed by experimental results. The surface hydroxyl groups greatly promote the O3 activation, which is beneficial for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Importantly, TiO2-OH displays better performance towards pollutants (such as berberine hydrochloride) removal than does TiO2-F and most reported ozonation photocatalysts. The total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency reaches 84.4% within two hours. This work highlights the effect of surface hydroxylation on photocatalytic ozonation and provides ideas for the design of efficient photocatalytic ozonation catalysts.

RESUMO

Light-driven oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) for multi-carbon (C2+) product evolution is a promising approach toward the sustainable production of value-added chemicals, yet remains challenging due to its low intrinsic activity. Here, we demonstrate the integration of bismuth oxide (BiOx) and gold (Au) on titanium dioxide (TiO2) substrate to achieve a high conversion rate, product selectivity, and catalytic durability toward photocatalytic OCM through rational catalytic site engineering. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the lattice oxygen in BiOx is effectively activated as the localized oxidant to promote methane dissociation, while Au governs the methyl transfer to avoid undesirable overoxidation and promote carbon─carbon coupling. The optimal Au/BiOx-TiO2 hybrid delivers a conversion rate of 20.8 millimoles per gram per hour with C2+ product selectivity high to 97% in the flow reactor. More specifically, the veritable participation of lattice oxygen during OCM is chemically looped by introduced dioxygen via the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism, endowing superior catalyst stability.

RESUMO

Solar-driven CO2 reduction into value-added C2+ chemical fuels, such as C2H4, is promising in meeting the carbon-neutral future, yet the performance is usually hindered by the high energy barrier of the C─C coupling process. Here, an efficient and stabilized Cu(I) single atoms-modified W18O49 nanowires (Cu1/W18O49) photocatalyst with asymmetric Cu─W dual sites is reported for selective photocatalytic CO2 reduction to C2H4. The interconversion between W(V) and W(VI) in W18O49 ensures the stability of Cu(I) during the photocatalytic process. Under light irradiation, the optimal Cu1/W18O49 (3.6-Cu1/W18O49) catalyst exhibits concurrent high activity and selectivity toward C2H4 production, reaching a corresponding yield rate of 4.9 µmol g-1 h-1 and selectivity as high as 72.8%, respectively. Combined in situ spectroscopies and computational calculations reveal that Cu(I) single atoms stabilize the *CO intermediate, and the asymmetric Cu─W dual sites effectively reduce the energy barrier for the C─C coupling of two neighboring CO intermediates, enabling the highly selective C2H4 generation from CO2 photoreduction. This work demonstrates leveraging stabilized atomically-dispersed Cu(I) in asymmetric dual-sites for selective CO2-to-C2H4 conversion and can provide new insight into photocatalytic CO2 reduction to other targeted C2+ products through rational construction of active sites for C─C coupling.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a novel biomarker associated with atherosclerosis, and an important risk factor for atherosclerosis, but its relation with cardiovascular prognosis in prediabetic patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) is still uncertain. METHODS: This study included 1096 prediabetic patients with UAP who were subjected to follow-up for a maximum of 30 months, with cardiac death, refractory angina, and non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) being the primary cardiovascular endpoints. RESULTS: A significantly increased AIP was observed for the group with primary cardiovascular endpoints. Kaplan-Meier curves corresponding to these endpoints revealed pronounced differences between these two AIP groups (Log-rank P < 0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses highlighted AIP as being independent related to this primary endpoint (HR 1.308, 95% CI: 1.213-1.412, P < 0.001). AIP addition to the baseline risk model improved the prediction of the primary endpoint (AUC: baseline model, 0.622, vs. baseline model + AIP, 0.739, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: AIP could be used to predict cardiovascular events in prediabetic individuals with UAP.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: In the Chinese healthcare system, where there is overcrowding in hospitals, especially in tertiary care centres, adoption of same-day discharge (SDD) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) could potentially lead to significant savings of healthcare resources and costs. This study is a non-inferiority trial examining whether post-PCI SDD is feasible in China. The primary hypothesis is that patient outcomes in post-urgent PCI SDD patients are non-inferior to regular discharge patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Post-Urgent PCI Same-DaY is an investigator-initiated multicentre randomised unblinded clinical non-inferiority trial, with 1:1 centralised randomisation to the SDD or usual care (UC) group. Based on sample size calculations, 1296 patients from at least three hospitals, with mild to moderate myocardial infarction, will be included, and acute coronary syndrome patients will be excluded. All patients will receive UC while patients assigned to the SDD group will be discharged on the same day or within 12 hours post-PCI. The primary outcome is major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events 30 days after discharge. The secondary outcomes are all-cause mortality, bleeding and access site complications. The outcome rates will be compared between groups with the absolute risk difference with a 95% CI. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study protocol V.2.0 has been approved on 21 January 2022 by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University (approval number: 2021 KLSD No. 23). The outcomes of this study will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed journal and presented at international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR 2200057065; China Clinical Trial Registration.

RESUMO

Photoconversion of CO2 and H2 O into ethanol is an ideal strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the production of ethanol with high activity and selectivity is challenging owing to the less efficient reduction half-reaction involving multi-step proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), a slow C-C coupling process, and sluggish water oxidation half-reaction. Herein, a two-dimensional/two-dimensional (2D/2D) S-scheme heterojunction consisting of black phosphorus and Bi2 WO6 (BP/BWO) was constructed for photocatalytic CO2 reduction coupling with benzylamine (BA) oxidation. The as-prepared BP/BWO catalyst exhibits a superior photocatalytic performance toward CO2 reduction, with a yield of 61.3 µmol g-1 h-1 for ethanol (selectivity of 91 %).In situ spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculations reveal that S-scheme heterojunction can effectively promote photogenerated carrier separation via the Bi-O-P bridge to accelerate the PCET process. Meanwhile, electron-rich BP acts as the active site and plays a vital role in the process of C-C coupling. In addition, the substitution of BA oxidation for H2 O oxidation can further enhance the photocatalytic performance of CO2 reduction to C2 H5 OH. This work opens a new horizon for exploring novel heterogeneous photocatalysts in CO2 photoconversion to C2 H5 OH based on cooperative photoredox systems.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Several studies have proved the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in reducing the occupational hazards of interventionists while achieving precision medicine. However, an independently developed robot-assisted system for PCI in China has not yet emerged. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a robot-assisted system for elective PCI in China. METHODS: This preclinical trial included 22 experimental pigs and preliminarily supported the safety and feasibility of the ETcath200 robot-assisted system for PCI. Then, eleven patients with coronary heart disease who met the inclusion criteria and had clinical indications for elective PCI were enrolled. PCI was performed using a robot-assisted system. The primary outcomes were clinical success (defined as visual estimated residual stenosis < 30% after PCI and no major adverse cardiovascular events during hospitalization and within 30 days after PCI) and technical success (defined as the ability to use the robot-assisted system to complete PCI successfully without conversion to the traditional manual PCI). RESULTS: Eleven patients were included in this clinical trial. A drug-eluting stent with a diameter of 3 mm (interquartile range: 2.75-3.5 mm) and a length of 26 mm (interquartile range: 22-28 mm) was deployed in all patients. The clinical success rate was 100%, with no PCI-related complications and no in-hospital or 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events, and the technical success rate was 100%. CONCLUSIONS: The results strongly suggest that the use of the independently developed robot-assisted system in China for elective PCI is feasible, safe, and effective.

RESUMO

Photocatalytic CO2 cycloaddition is a promising approach for CO2 value-added processes. However, the efficiency of plasmon-assisted CO2 cycloaddition still needs to be improved and the reaction mechanism is unclear. Herein, g-C3N4/Ag (ACN-Ag) hybrids exhibited superior activity of CO2 cycloaddition by coupling a semiconductor into the plasmonic system, in which the ACN grafting amino group by the formation of carbon vacancies can enhance CO2 chemisorption; meanwhile, photo-generated electrons from ACN transfer to Ag to form high-energy electrons, which can activate propylene oxide, accelerating the ring-opening step. Importantly, photo-generated electron injection from ACN to Ag and the interaction between Ag nanoparticles and ACN were confirmed by single-particle photoluminescence spectroscopy. The wavelength-dependent activity demonstrated that the plasmon excitation is crucial for the reaction. Moreover, in situ single-particle PL quenching caused by propylene oxide and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance verified the activation of propylene oxide by ACN-Ag. This work is conducive to an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of CO2 cycloaddition at the single-particle level and provides guidance for the organic synthesis.

RESUMO

Selective CO2 photoreduction to hydrocarbon fuels such as CH4 is promising and sustainable for carbon-neutral future. However, lack of proper binding strengths with reaction intermediates makes it still a challenge for photocatalytic CO2 methanation with both high activity and selectivity. Here, low-coordination single Au atoms (Au1 -S2 ) on ultrathin ZnIn2 S4 nanosheets was synthesized by a complex-exchange route, enabling exceptional photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance. Under visible light irradiation, Au1 /ZnIn2 S4 catalyst exhibits a CH4 yield of 275 µmol g-1 h-1 with a selectivity as high as 77 %. As revealed by detailed characterizations and density functional theory calculations, Au1 /ZnIn2 S4 with Au1 -S2 structure not only display fast carrier transfer to underpin its superior activity, but also greatly reduce the energy barrier for protonation of *CO and stabilize the *CH3 intermediate, thereby leading to the selective CH4 generation from CO2 photoreduction.

RESUMO

In this work, a Bi-based metal-organic framework (MOF; Bi-MMTAA) with 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5-thiazoleacetic acid (MMTAA) as the organic ligand is synthesized. The crystal structure of Bi-MMTAA was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Theoretical calculations reveal that Bi-MMTAA is a p-type semiconductor, and electrons can delocalize through the π-conjugation when excited by a photon with an energy higher than the Bi-MMTAA band gap, which is beneficial to charge separation and transfer. The photoelectrical properties suggest that free electrons can be produced over Bi-MMTAA under light irradiation. The photocatalytic results suggest that Bi-MMTAA can decolorize rhodamine B (RhB) and oxidize phenylboronic acid to phenol under visible light (λ > 420 nm), with superoxide radicals being the main reactive oxygen species. Our results enrich the family of Bi-based MOFs and may inspire further exploration of Bi-based MOFs, including both synthesis and potential applications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: although an association between metabolic syndrome (MS) and cardiovascular disease risk has been documented, the relationship in patients with complex calcified coronary lesions undergoing rotational atherectomy (RA) and drug-eluting stent(DES) insertion remains controversial. Here, the influence of MS on outcomes was assessed. METHODS AND RESULTS: we retrospectively included 398 patients who underwent RA and DES insertion for complex calcified coronary lesions in our institution between June 2015 and January 2019. The modified Adult Treatment Plan III was used to diagnose MS. The endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), comprising mortality from all causes, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization (TVR). In all, 173 (43.5%) patients had MS. MS was significantly associated with MACE over the 28.32 ± 6.79-month follow-up period (HR 1.783, 95% CI from 1.122 to 2.833) even after adjustment for other possible confounders. CONCLUSION: MS was frequently observed in patients treated with RA with DES insertion for complex calcified coronary lesions. MS independently predicted MACE in these patients.

RESUMO

Production of more than 20 million tons of epoxides per year from olefins suffers from low atom economy due to the use of oxidants and complex catalysts with unsatisfactory selectivity, leading to huge environmental and economic costs. We present a proof-of-concept application of electron-rich RuO2 nanocrystals to boost the highly selective epoxidation of cyclooctene via direct oxygen transfer from water as the sole oxygen source under mild conditions. The enhanced electron enrichment of RuO2 nanocrystals via the Schottky effect with nitrogen-doped carbons largely promotes the capture and activation of cyclooctene to give a high turnover frequency (260 h-1 ) of cyclooctene oxide, far surpassing the reported values (<20 h-1 ) of benchmarked catalysts at room temperature with oxidants. Our electron-rich RuO2 electrocatalysts enable efficient and durable hydrogen production (Faradaic efficiency >90 %) on the cathode without impacting on the selectivity to epoxide (>99 %) on the anode.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pericardial Effusion (PEf) can occur with Acute Heart Failure (AHF). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of PEf size on the prognosis of patients with AHF. METHODS: According to the maximum size of PEf, all patients were divided into five groups. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The independent effect of PEf size was determined by binary logistic regression analysis. The curve in line with the overall trend was drawn by local weighted regression (Lowess). RESULTS: We included 192 patients with AHF complicated by PEf. As PEf size increased, in-hospital mortality increased significantly (Group 5 vs. Group 1: 34.8 vs. 8.9% p=0.042). After adjusting for confounders, there was no significant association between PEf groups and in-hospital mortality (Group 5 vs. Group 1: odd ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.72, 0.41-18.22, p=0.298). However, when PEf size was analysed as a continuous variable, an independent association between increased risk of inhospital mortality and PEf size was observed (OR, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.00-1.16, p=0.037). The Lowess curve showed a positive relationship between PEf size and in-hospital mortality. Furthermore, as PEf groups increased, the length of hospital stay (Group 5 vs. Group 1 median and interquartile range: 16, 14-21 vs. 13, 8-17 days, p<0.001) was significantly prolonged. An association between PEf size with acute kidney injury (AKI) was not observed. CONCLUSION: The PEf size was independently associated with the increased risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with AHF.

RESUMO

It is crucial to design and synthesize a catalyst that can catalyze the production of cyclic carbonates from CO2 and epoxide under mild conditions. Herein, we successfully synthesized a two-dimensional metal organic framework FeTPyP, which displays an outstanding capability to catalyze the CO2 cycloaddition reaction under light irradiation with a yield of styrene carbonate as high as 106.13 mmol/(g h). Characterizations suggests that the major reason is due to (1) the synergistic effect between photocatalysis and thermocatalysis and (2) ultraviolet light can promote the ring-opening reaction of styrene oxide. This work provides an alternative approach to further design efficient heterogeneous catalysts for photo-induced CO2 cycloaddition reaction via coupling thermocatalysis and photocatalysis.

RESUMO

Solar-driven production of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), as an important industrial chemical oxidant with an extensive range of applications, from oxygen reduction is a sustainable alternative to mainstream anthraquinone oxidation and direct hydrogenation of dioxygen methods. The efficiency of solar to hydrogen peroxide over semiconductor-based photocatalysts is still largely limited by the narrow light absorption to visible light. Here, the authors proposed and demonstrate the proof-of-concept application of light-generated hot electrons in a graphene/semiconductor (exemplified with widely used TiO2 ) dyad to largely extend visible light spectra up to 800 nm for efficient H2 O2 production. The well-designed graphene/semiconductor heterojunction has a rectifying interface with a zero barrier for the hot electron injection, largely boosting excited hot electrons with an average lifetime of ≈0.5 ps into charge carriers with a long fluorescent lifetime (4.0 ns) for subsequent H2 O2 production. The optimized dyadic photocatalyst can provide an H2 O2 yield of 0.67 mm g-1  h-1 under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 400 nm), which is 20 times of the state-of-the-art noble-metal-free titanium oxide-based photocatalyst, and even achieves an H2 O2 yield of 0.14 mm g-1  h-1 upon photoexcitation by near-infrared-region light (≈800 nm).

RESUMO

Aims: To identify risk factors for cardiac death of elderly and severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: 1010 CAHD-CKD patients over 60 years old who had CKD stage 3 or above and underwent PCI were followed up for at least 3 years. Cases of cardiac death were divided into groups. After univariate analysis of all variables, the variables with P < .2 were selected for further logistic regression. Results: For logistic regression single-vessel disease (SVD) PCI OR = 0.612, 95%CI: 0.416-0.899, P = .012, it is the protective factor. There are four risk factors, stable angina pectoris (SAP) OR = 4.723, 95%CI: 1.098∼20.322, P = .037, combined with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (LEASO) OR = 2.631, 95%CI: 1.272∼5.440, P = .009, K > 4.285 mmol/L OR = 1.44, 95%CI: 1.002∼2.069, P = .049, without statins OR = 2.015, 95%CI: 1.072∼3.789, P = .030. Conclusion: In elderly and serious CAHD-CKD patients after PCI, SVD PCI was a protective factor against cardiac death. However, SAP, CAHD-CKD combined with LEASO, K > 4.285 mmol/L, and no statins were independent risk factors of cardiac death for elderly patients with severe CKD after PCI.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients that undergo renal transplantation (RT) often suffer from high rates of cardiovascular disease-related mortality, yet, most of the studies focus on coronary angiography performed as screening to entry in a waiting list and not, as for clinical indication, after renal transplantation. METHODS: This study examined coronary angiography findings from 45 patients with functional renal grafts for over 6 months that were analyzed in Anzhen Hospital (Beijing, China) from 2014-2019. For comparison purposes, we additionally examined coronary angiography findings from 45 age- and sex-matched patients undergoing chronic dialysis due to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We used the SYNTAX score to gauge coronary artery disease (CAD) severity. RESULTS: The duration of ESRD in patients in the RT group was significantly longer than for that of patients in the dialysis comparison group (19.31 ± 7.83 years vs. 11.43 ± 8.04 years, p < 0.001). The SYNTAX scores for patients in the dialysis and RT groups were 17.76 ± 7.35 and 12.57 ± 5.61, respectively (p < 0.01). We found that 64.4% and 28.9% of dialysis and RT patients, respectively, exhibited the presence of moderate or severe calcified lesions upon examination. In addition, the SYNTAX scores of RT patients were correlated with ESRD duration (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We observed less serious CAD in RT patients relative to long-term dialysis patients even though the former group exhibited a longer mean ESRD duration. Both groups exhibited high rates of calcification of the coronary artery, even following RT.

RESUMO

Merging existing catalysts together as a cascade catalyst may achieve "one-pot" synthesis of complex but functional molecules by simplifying multistep reactions, which is the blueprint of sustainable chemistry with low pollutant emission and consumption of energy and materials only when the smooth mass exchange between different catalysts is ensured. Effective strategies to facilitate the mass exchange between different active centers, which may dominate the final activity of various cascade catalysts, have not been reached until now, even though charged interfaces due to work function driven electron exchange have been widely observed. Here, we successfully constructed mass (reactants and intermediates) exchange paths between Pd/N-doped carbon and MoC/N-doped carbon induced by interfacial electron exchange to trigger the mild and cascade methylation of amines using CO2 and H2. Theoretical and experimental results have demonstrated that the mass exchange between electron-rich MoC and electron-deficient Pd could prominently improve the production of N,N-dimethyl tertiary amine, which results in a remarkably high turnover frequency value under mild conditions, outperforming the state-of-the-art catalysts in the literature by a factor of 5.9.

RESUMO

Background: Cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance are closely related. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is frequently used as an indicator of insulin resistance. However, there is scant information on the TyG index in the prediabetic population, nor is the prognostic significance of the index known for prediabetes and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Methods: The clinical endpoint was a major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCEs), including cardiac-related death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, and stroke. The TyG index was calculated as = ln [(triglyceride level, mg/dL) × (glucose level, mg/dL)÷2] under fasting conditions. Results: The study included 2,030 prediabetic patients with ACS. Patients were followed up for 2.5 years, during which the total incidence of MACCEs was 12%. After adjustment for covariates, the TyG index was found to be predictive of prediabetes with ACS (HR 4.942, 95%CI: 3.432-6.115, P<0.001). Using propensity score matching, 574 pairs were successfully matched, and the two groups were analyzed in terms of survival. This showed that there was a significantly greater incidence of MACCEs in patients with high TyG indices (HR 3.526, 95%CI: 2.618-4.749, P<0.001), mainly due to ischemia-driven revascularization and stroke. Conclusions: The TyG index independently predicts future MACCEs and may be an important prognostic indicator for patients with prediabetes and ACS.

RESUMO

AIM: There is no model for predicting the outcomes for coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). To develop and validate a model to predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with comorbid CKD and CHD undergoing PCI. METHODS: We enrolled 1714 consecutive CKD patients who underwent PCI from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2017. In the development cohort, we used least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression for data dimension reduction and feature selection. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis to develop the prediction model. Finally, we used an independent cohort to validate the model. The performance of the prediction model was evaluated with respect to discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness. RESULTS: The predictors included a positive family history of CHD, history of revascularization, ST segment changes, anemia, hyponatremia, transradial intervention, the number of diseased vessels, dose of contrast media >200 ml, and coronary collateral circulation. In the validation cohort, the model showed good discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.612; 95% confidence interval: 0.560, 0.664) and good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P = 0.444). Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the model was clinically useful.
