RESUMEN
We describe the confining instabilities of a proposed quantum spin liquid underlying the pseudogap metal state of the hole-doped cuprates. The spin liquid can be described by a SU(2) gauge theory of Nf = 2 massless Dirac fermions carrying fundamental gauge charges-this is the low-energy theory of a mean-field state of fermionic spinons moving on the square lattice with π-flux per plaquette in the â¤2 center of SU(2). This theory has an emergent SO(5)f global symmetry and is presumed to confine at low energies to the Néel state. At nonzero doping (or smaller Hubbard repulsion U at half-filling), we argue that confinement occurs via the Higgs condensation of bosonic chargons carrying fundamental SU(2) gauge charges also moving in π â¤2-flux. At half-filling, the low-energy theory of the Higgs sector has Nb = 2 relativistic bosons with a possible emergent SO(5)b global symmetry describing rotations between a d-wave superconductor, period-2 charge stripes, and the time-reversal breaking "d-density wave" state. We propose a conformal SU(2) gauge theory with Nf = 2 fundamental fermions, Nb = 2 fundamental bosons, and a SO(5)f×SO(5)b global symmetry, which describes a deconfined quantum critical point between a confining state which breaks SO(5)f and a confining state which breaks SO(5)b. The pattern of symmetry breaking within both SO(5)s is determined by terms likely irrelevant at the critical point, which can be chosen to obtain a transition between Néel order and d-wave superconductivity. A similar theory applies at nonzero doping and large U, with longer-range couplings of the chargons leading to charge order with longer periods.
RESUMEN
The development of highly efficient catalysts for formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation is of significant interest for the improvement of indoor air quality. Up to 400 works relating to the catalytic oxidation of HCHO have been published to date; however, their analysis for collective inference through conventional literature search is still a challenging task. A machine learning (ML) framework was presented to predict catalyst performance from experimental descriptors based on an HCHO oxidation catalysts database. MnOx, CeO2, Co3O4, TiO2, FeOx, ZrO2, Al2O3, SiO2, and carbon-based catalysts with different promoters were compiled from the literature. Notably, 20 descriptors including reaction catalyst composition, reaction conditions, and catalyst physical properties were collected for data mining (2263 data points). Furthermore, the eXtreme Gradient Boosting algorithm was employed, which successfully predicted the conversion efficiency of HCHO with an R-square value of 0.81. Shapley additive analysis suggested Pt/MnO2 and Ag/Ce-Co3O4 exhibited excellent catalytic performance of HCHO oxidation based on the analysis of the entire database. Validated by experimental tests and theoretical simulations, the key descriptor identified by ML, i.e., the first promoter, was further described as metal-support interactions. This study highlights ML as a useful tool for database establishment and the catalyst rational design strategy based on the importance of analysis between experimental descriptors and the performance of complex catalytic systems.

Ground-level ozone (O3) pollution has emerged as a significant concern due to its detrimental effects on human health and the ecosystem. Catalytic removal of O3 has proven to be the most efficient and cost-effective method. However, its practical application faces substantial challenges, particularly in relation to its effectiveness across the entire humidity range. Herein, we proposed a novel strategy termed "dual active sites" by employing graphitized carbon-loaded core-shell cobalt catalysts (Co@Co3O4-C). Co@Co3O4-C was synthesized via the pyrolysis of a Co-organic ligand as the precursor. By utilizing this approach, we achieved a nearly constant 100% working efficiency of the Co@Co3O4-C catalyst for catalyzing O3 decomposition across the entire humidity range. Physicochemical characterization coupled with density functional theory calculations elucidates that the presence of encapsulated metallic Co nanoparticles enhances the reactivity of the cobalt oxide capping layer. Additionally, the interface carbon atom, strongly influenced by adjacent metallic Co nuclei, functions as a secondary active site for the decomposition of O3 decomposition. The utilization of dual active sites effectively mitigates the competitive adsorption of H2O molecules, thus isolating them for adsorption in the cobalt oxide capping layer. This optimized configuration allows for the decomposition of O3 without interference from moisture. Furthermore, O3 decomposition monolithic catalysts were synthesized using a material extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, which demonstrated a low pressure drop and exceptional mechanical strength. This work provides a "dual active site" strategy for the O3 decomposition reaction, realizing O3 catalytic decomposition over the entire humidity range.

Typically, SO2 unavoidably deactivates catalysts in most heterogeneous catalytic oxidations. However, for Pt-based catalysts, SO2 exhibits an extraordinary boosting effect in propane catalytic oxidation, but the promotive mechanism remains contentious. In this study, an in situ-formed tactful (Pt-S-O)-Ti structure was concluded to be a key factor for Pt/TiO2 catalysts with a substantial SO2 tolerance ability. The experiments and theoretical calculations confirm that the high degree of hybridization and orbital coupling between Pt 5d and S 3p orbitals enable more charge transfer from Pt to S species, thus forming the (Pt-S-O)-Ti structure with the oxygen atom dissociated from the chemisorbed O2 adsorbed on oxygen vacancies. The active oxygen atom in the (Pt-S-O)-Ti active structure is a robust site for C3H8 adsorption, leading to a better C3H8 combustion performance. This work can provide insights into the rational design of chemical bonds for high SO2 tolerance catalysts, thereby improving economic and environmental benefits.

Particulate matter, represented by soot particles, poses a significant global environmental threat, necessitating efficient control technology. Here, we innovatively designed and elaborately fabricated ordered hierarchical macroporous catalysts of Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 (OM CZO) integrated on a catalyzed diesel particulate filter (CDPF) using the self-assembly method. An oxygen-vacancy-enriched ordered macroporous Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 catalyst (VO-OM CZO) integrated CDPF was synthesized by subsequent NaBH4 reduction. The VO-OM CZO integrated CDPF exhibited a markedly enhanced soot oxidation activity compared to OM CZO and powder CZO coated CDPFs (T50: 430 vs 490 and 545 °C, respectively). The well-defined OM structure of the VO-OM CZO catalysts effectively improves the contact efficiency between soot and the catalysts. Meanwhile, oxygen vacancies trigger the formation of a large amount of highly reactive peroxide species (O22-) from molecular oxygen (O2) through electron abstraction from the three adjacent Ce3+ (3Ce3+ + Vö + O2 â 3Ce4+ + O22-), contributing to the efficient soot oxidation. This work demonstrates the fabrication of the ordered macroporous CZO integrated CDPF and reveals the importance of structure and surface engineering in soot oxidation, which sheds light on the design of highly efficient PM capture and removal devices.

BACKGROUND: The prognostic value of cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21 - 1) and Ki67 in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) remains to be explored. METHODS: In this study, 983 primary NSCLC patients from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Finally, 117 advanced NSCLC patients with wild-type EGFR and 37 patients with EGFR mutation were included and prognostic value of CYFRA 21 - 1 and Ki67 were also identified. RESULTS: The patients age, smoking history and the Eastern Corporative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scores were significantly different between CYFRA21-1 positive and negative groups (p < 0.05), while no significant differences were found in Ki67 high and low groups. The results of over survival (OS) demonstrated that patients with CYFRA21-1 positive had markedly shorter survival time than CYFRA21-1 negative (p < 0.001, For whole cohorts; p = 0.002, For wild-type EGFR). Besides, patients with wild-type EGFR also had shorter survival times than Ki67 high group. Moreover, In CYFRA 21 - 1 positive group, patients with Ki67 high had obviously shorter survival time compared to patients with Ki67 low (median: 24vs23.5 months; p = 0.048). However, Ki67 could not be used as an adverse risk factor for patients with EGFR mutation. Multivariate cox analysis showed that age (HR, 1.031; 95%CI, 1.003 ~ 1.006; p = 0.028), Histopathology (HR, 1.760; 95%CI,1.152 ~ 2.690; p = 0.009), CYFRA 21 - 1 (HR, 2.304; 95%CI,1.224 ~ 4.335; p = 0.01) and Ki67 (HR, 2.130; 95%CI,1.242 ~ 3.652; p = 0.006) served as independent prognostic risk factor for advanced NSCLC patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our finding indicated that CYFRA 21 - 1 was an independent prognostic factor for advanced NSCLC patients and Ki67 status could be a risk stratification marker for CYFRA 21 - 1 positive NSCLC patients with wild-type EGFR.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in patients progresses rapidly and can cause multiple organ failures associated with high mortality. We aimed to train a machine learning (ML) model and establish a nomogram that could identify SAP, early in the course of acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS: In this retrospective study, 631 patients with AP were enrolled in the training cohort. For predicting SAP early, five supervised ML models were employed, such as random forest (RF), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), and naive Bayes (NB), which were evaluated by accuracy (ACC) and the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The nomogram was established, and the predictive ability was assessed by the calibration curve and AUC. They were externally validated by an independent cohort of 109 patients with AP. RESULTS: In the training cohort, the AUC of RF, KNN, and NB models were 0.969, 0.954, and 0.951, respectively, while the AUC of the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP), Ranson and Glasgow scores were only 0.796, 0.847, and 0.837, respectively. In the validation cohort, the RF model also showed the highest AUC, which was 0.961. The AUC for the nomogram was 0.888 and 0.955 in the training and validation cohort, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggested that the RF model exhibited the best predictive performance, and the nomogram provided a visual scoring model for clinical practice. Our models may serve as practical tools for facilitating personalized treatment options and improving clinical outcomes through pre-treatment stratification of patients with AP.

We introduce a general framework to study moiré structures of two-dimensional Van der Waals magnets using continuum field theory. The formalism eliminates quasiperiodicity and allows a full understanding of magnetic structures and their excitations. In particular, we analyze in detail twisted bilayers of Néel antiferromagnets on the honeycomb lattice. A rich phase diagram with noncollinear twisted phases is obtained, and spin waves are further calculated. Direct extensions to zigzag antiferromagnets and ferromagnets are also presented. We anticipate the results and formalism demonstrated to lead to a broad range of applications to both fundamental research and experiments.
RESUMEN
Catalytic ozone (O3 ) decomposition at high relative humidity (RH) remains a great challenge due to the catalysts poison and deactivation under high humidity. Here, we firstly elaborate the role of water activation and the corresponding mechanism of the promoted O3 decomposition over the three-dimensional monolithic molybdenum oxide/graphdiyne (MoO3 /GDY) catalyst. The O3 decomposition over MoO3 /GDY reaches up to 100 % under high humid condition (75 % RH) at room temperature, which is 4.0 times as high as that of dry conditions, significantly surpasses other carbon-based MoO3 materials(≤7.1 %). The sp-hybridized carbon in GDY donates electrons to MoO3 along the C-O-Mo bond, facilitating water activation to form hydroxyl species. As a result, hydroxyl species dissociated from water act as new active sites, promoting the adsorption of O3 and the generation of new intermediate species (hydroxyl â OH and superoxo â O2 - ), which significantly lowers the energy barriers of O3 decomposition (0.57â eV lower than dry conditions).
RESUMEN
Activation of O2 is a crucial step in oxidation processes. Here, the concept of sp-hybridized C≡C triple bonds as an electron donor is adopted to develop highly active and stable catalysts for molecular oxygen activation. We demonstrate that the neighboring sp-hybridized C and Cu sites on the interface of the sub-nanocluster CuO/graphdiyne are the key structures to effectively modulate the O2 activation process in the bridging adsorption mode. The as-prepared sub-nanocluster CuO/graphdiyne catalyst exhibited the highest CO oxidation activity and readily converted 50% CO at around 133 °C, which is 34 and 94 °C lower than that for CuO/graphene and CuO/active carbon catalysts, respectively. In situ diffused reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and density functional theory calculation results proved that the neighboring sp-hybridized C is more favorable to promote the rapid dissociation of carbonate than sp2-hybridized C without overcoming any energy barrier. The gaseous CO directly reacts with the active molecular oxygen and tends to proceed through the E-R mechanism with a relatively low energy barrier (0.20 eV). This work revealed that sp-hybridized C of graphdiyne-based materials could effectively improve the O2 activation efficiency, which could facilitate the low-temperature oxidation processes.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Recaticimab (SHR-1209, a humanized monoclonal antibody against PCSK9) showed robust LDL-C reduction in healthy volunteers. This study aimed to further assess the efficacy and safety of recaticimab in patients with hypercholesterolemia. METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1b/2 trial, patients receiving stable dose of atorvastatin with an LDL-C level of 2.6 mmol/L or higher were randomized in a ratio of 5:1 to subcutaneous injections of recaticimab or placebo at different doses and schedules. Patients were recruited in the order of 75 mg every 4 weeks (75Q4W), 150Q8W, 300Q12W, 150Q4W, 300Q8W, and 450Q12W. The primary endpoint was percentage change in LDL-C from the baseline to end of treatment (i.e., at week 16 for Q4W and Q8W schedule and at week 24 for Q12W schedule). RESULTS: A total of 91 patients were enrolled and received recaticimab and 19 received placebo. The dose of background atorvastatin in all 110 patients was 10 or 20 mg/day. The main baseline LDL-C ranged from 3.360 to 3.759 mmol/L. The least-squares mean percentage reductions in LDL-C from baseline to end of treatment relative to placebo for recaticimab groups at different doses and schedules ranged from -48.37 to -59.51%. No serious treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred. The most common TEAEs included upper respiratory tract infection, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased blood glucose, and increased gamma-glutamyltransferase. CONCLUSION: Recaticimab as add-on to moderate-intensity statin therapy significantly and substantially reduced the LDL-C level with an infrequent administration schedule (even given once every 12 weeks), compared with placebo.

INTRODUCTION: An extrafine formulation of the inhaled corticosteroid beclometasone dipropionate (BDP) plus the long-acting ß2-agonist formoterol fumarate (FF) has been available for years via a pressurised metered-dose inhaler for the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. More recently, the same extrafine BDP/FF formulation has become available in a multidose dry-powder inhaler (DPI) called the NEXThaler. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of BDP/FF via this DPI have previously been evaluated in a Caucasian population. The current study aimed to evaluate the PK profile of BDP/FF via DPI in healthy Chinese volunteers. The results were then compared to previous Caucasian data. METHODS: This open-label parallel group study randomised subjects to single-dose BDP/FF 200/12, 400/24, or 800/48 µg via DPI. Blood samples were taken up to 24 h post-dose for PK evaluation of BDP, beclometasone 17-monopropionate (B17MP, active metabolite of BDP) and formoterol. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the PK of BDP/FF (BDP, B17MP and formoterol). The study is registered on the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ChiCTR1900021899). RESULTS: Of 36 subjects randomised, all completed the study. Following inhalation of all three doses, plasma concentration of formoterol and BDP increased rapidly, with peak mean values at the first post-dose timepoint (5 min), then rapidly decreasing; B17MP reached peak concentration slightly later. Plasma exposure to formoterol, BDP and B17MP increased broadly in a dose-proportional manner to BDP/FF dose, with tmax values similar across the dose range. All BDP/FF doses were generally well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: Therapeutic and supra-therapeutic doses of BDP/FF administered via DPI resulted in approximately dose-proportional plasma exposure in healthy Chinese subjects, with PK profiles that were comparable to previous data from Caucasian subjects.

Revealing the role of engineered surface oxygen vacancies in the catalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is of importance for the development of highly efficient catalysts. However, because of various structures of VOC molecules, the role of surface oxygen vacancies in different catalytic reactions remains ambiguous. Herein, a defective Pt/TiO2-x catalyst is proposed to uncover the different catalytic mechanisms of C3H6 and C3H8 combustion via experiments and theoretical calculations. The electron transfer, originated from the oxygen vacancy, facilitates the formation of reduced Pt0 species and simultaneously interfacial chemisorbed O2, thus promoting the C3H6 combustion via efficient CâC cleavage. The reduced Pt nanoparticles facilitate the robust chemisorption of bridging dimer O22- (Pt-O-O-Ti) species. This chemisorbed oxygen inhibits the C3H8 combustion by depressing C3H8 adsorption. This work offers insights for the rational design of highly efficient catalysts for activating the CâC bond in alkene or C-H bond in alkane.
RESUMEN
The in-depth mechanism on the simultaneous activation of O2 and surface lattice O2- on one active metallic site has not been elucidated yet. Herein, we report a strategy for the construction of abundant oxygen activation sites by rational design of Cu1 /TiO2 single atom catalysts (SACs). The charge transfer between isolated Cu and TiO2 support generates abundant CuI and 2-coordinated Olat sites in Cu1 -O-Ti hybridization structure, which facilitates the chemisorption and activation of O2 molecules. Simultaneously, the Cu1 -O-Ti induced TiO2 lattice distortion activate the adjacent surface lattice O2- , achieving the dual activation of O2 and surface lattice O2- . The Cu1 -O-Ti active site switches the CO oxidation mechanism from Eley-Rideal (80 °C) to Mars-van Krevelen route (200 °C) with the increase of reaction temperature. The dual activation of O2 and surface lattice O2- can by modulating the electron properties of SACs can boost the heterogeneous catalytic oxidation activity.
RESUMEN
High-current density (≥1 A cm-2) is a critical factor for large-scale industrial application of water-splitting electrocatalysts, especially seawater-splitting. However, it still remains a great challenge to reach high-current density due to the lack of active and stable intrinsic catalytic active sites in catalysts. Herein, we report an original three-dimensional self-supporting graphdiyne/molybdenum oxide (GDY/MoO3) material for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction via a rational design of "sp C-O-Mo hybridization" on the interface. The "sp C-O-Mo hybridization" creates new intrinsic catalytic active sites (nonoxygen vacancy sites) and increases the amount of active sites (eight times higher than pure MoO3). The "sp C-O-Mo hybridization" facilitates charge transfer and boosts the dissociation process of H2O molecules, leading to outstanding HER activity with high-current density (>1.2 A cm-2) in alkaline electrolyte and a decent activity and stability in natural seawater. Our results show that high-current density electrocatalysts can be achieved by interfacial chemical bond engineering, three-dimensional structure design, and hydrophilicity optimization.
RESUMEN
CONTEXT: Capsule of alkaloids from the leaf of Alstonia scholaris (L.) R.Br. (Apocynaceae) (CALAS) is a new investigational botanical drug (No. 2011L01436) for bronchitis, post-infectious cough and asthma. OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical safety and tolerability of CALAS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Subjects were assigned to eight cohorts, and each received randomly CALAS or placebo in one of single ascending dose (SAD) of 8, 40, 120, 240, 360, 480, or in one of multiple ascending dose (MAD) of 40 or 120 mg, three times daily for 7 days. Each cohort contained two placebo subjects. RESULTS: Sixty-two enrolled volunteers completed the study and no serious adverse events and clinically significant changes in vital signs, electrocardiography, and upper abdominal Doppler ultrasonography were observed. The ratios of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 11/46 (23.91%) of CALAS groups and 3/16 (18.75%) of the placebo group (p > 0.05), respectively, based on the results of SAD and MAD. All TEAEs were mild, transient, and disappeared without any intervention. The TEAEs possibly related to CALAS treatment were as followings: hiccups (4/46: 8%), dry mouth and nausea (3/46: 6%), increased sleep (2/46: 4%), abdominal distension (1/46: 2%), bilirubin elevated (1/46: 2%). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: CALAS is safe and well-tolerated with no unexpected or clinically relevant safety concerns up to a single dose of 360 mg and three times daily for 7 days up to 120 mg in healthy Chinese volunteers, supporting further Phase II studies.

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide and in China. For patients with more severe symptoms, initial treatment with long acting ß2-agonists and long-acting muscarinic antagonists combination therapy is recommended. Tiotropium + olodaterol fixed-dose combination (Tio + Olo FDC) is an aqueous solution of tiotropium bromide and olodaterol delivered by the RESPIMAT® Soft Mist™ inhaler for patients with moderate to very severe COPD. METHODS: This single site, open-label, phase Ib clinical study assessed the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profiles of once-daily Tio + Olo FDC (5 µg/5 µg) after single dose and at steady state in Chinese patients with moderate to severe COPD over 3 weeks. The PK and safety profiles of Japanese and Caucasian populations from 2 independent COPD studies were provided for comparison. RESULTS: A total of 12 Chinese patients received Tio + Olo FDC. After multiple inhaled administration of Tio + Olo FDC, tiotropium and olodaterol were rapidly absorbed and reached peak plasma concentration at about 5 and 25 min, respectively. The accumulation ratios after multiple administrations were 1.3 and 1.6 for tiotropium and olodaterol in Chinese patients. Tio + Olo FDC was well-tolerated; all AEs were mild. CONCLUSION: Tio + Olo FDC (5 µg/5 µg) was rapidly absorbed and had a good safety profile in Chinese patients with COPD.

Industrialization has resulted in the rapid increase of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which have caused serious issues to human health and the environment. In this study, an extensive Cu incorporating TiO2 induced nucleophilic oxygen structure was constructed in the CuTiOx catalyst, which exhibited superior low-temperature catalytic activity for C3H6 combustion. Thorough structural, surface characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the Cu-O-Ti hybridization induced nucleophilic oxygen initiates C3H6 combustion by abstracting the C-H bond. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) results indicated that incorporated copper species acted as the major adsorbent site for the propene molecule. In combination of the DRIFTS and DFT results, the promotion effect of the nucleophilic O on the C-H bond abstraction and CO2 formation pathway was proposed. The surface doping induced nucleophilic oxygen as strong Brønsted basic sites for low-temperature propene combustion exemplified an efficient strategy for rational design of next-generation environmental catalysts.

Deformation is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature. This process usually refers to the change in shape, size, and position of an object in the time and spatial domain under various loads. Under normal circumstances, during engineering construction, technicians are generally required to monitor the safe operation of structural facilities in the transportation field and the health of bridge, because monitoring in the engineering process plays an important role in construction safety. Considering the reliability risk of sensors after a long-time work period, such as signal drift, accurate measurement of strain gauges is inseparable from the value traceability system of high-precision strain gauges. In this study, two vibrating wire strain gauges with the same working principle were measured using the parallel method at similar positions. First, based on the principle of time series, the experiment used high-frequency dynamic acquisition to measure the thermometer strain of two vibrating wire strain gauges. Second, this experiment analyzed the correlation between strain and temperature measured separately. Under the condition of different prestress, this experiment studied the influencing relationship of temperature corresponding variable. In this experiment, the measurement repetitiveness was analyzed using the meteorology knowledge of single sensor data, focused on researching the influence of temperature and prestress effect on sensors by analyzing differences of their measurement results in a specified situation. Then, the reliability and stability of dynamic vibrating wire strain gauge were verified in the experiment. The final conclusion of the experiment is the actual engineering in the later stage. Onsite online meteorology in the application provides support.
