Summary: Two zinc complexes with NHC ligands were synthesized and studied for their behavior in the Ring-Opening Polymerization of lactides, showing efficiency as initiators with molecular weights dependent on cocatalysts. Microstructural analysis revealed enriched heterotactic PLA, with kinetic parameters compared between different conditions and reactions showing pseudo-first-order dependence on monomer concentration. Reactivity studies aimed to uncover the active species in polymerization processes with different catalytic systems, including zinc complexes alone or in combination with neutral or ionic cocatalysts.

Summary: The reaction between (Z)-4-aryliden-2-(2-acetoxyphenyl)-5(4H)oxazolones and H2SO4 results in the formation of (Z)4-aryliden-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5(4H)oxazolones. These oxazolones can act as potential C,N,O-tridentate ligands towards transition metals, and the resulting complexes exhibit high stability.

Summary: This study proposes a new approach to tolerate stereoerrors in the polymer by crowding them in a stereogradient copolymer. A zirconium complex of an amine tris(phenolate) ligand is used as a catalyst for the ring opening polymerization of meso-lactide at room temperature, and stereogradient copolymers are formed in the polymerization of mixtures of meso-lactide/L-lactide at 180 degrees C. These stereogradient copolymers exhibit enhanced crystallinities compared to stereorandom copolymers obtained with tin octanoate.

Summary: Unprecedented metal-free complete o-phenylenebridged N (4)-cyclophanes (M1 and M2) were synthesized via sequential palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig N-arylation reactions. These cyclophanes can be considered as aromatic analogues of aliphatic group-spaced N (4)-macrocycles. Physicochemical characterization techniques and single crystal X-ray structure determination were used to fully characterize them. Their redox and spectral properties were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis spectro-electrochemistry, fluorescence spectral studies, and DFT calculations. These studies revealed rich redox, spectral, and photophysical properties, making both M1 and M2 potential candidates for various applications.

Summary: A bulky tridentate bis(3-methyl-5-arylhydroxyphenyl)phenylphosphine ligand 1 was synthesized and reacted with TiCl3(THF)3 to obtain bis{Tipp[O, P, O] titanium(THF)0.59(Et2O)0.41(mu-chloro)} 2. Reduction of 2 with KC8 in toluene or C6D6 yielded two arene-bridged dititanium complexes {Tipp[O, P, O]}2 titanium (mu-eta 6:eta 6-C6H5Me) 3 and {Tipp[O, P, O]}2 titanium (THF)0.58(Et2O)0.42(mu-eta 6:eta 6-C6D6) 4, respectively. The structures of complexes 3 and 4 featured an inverted sandwich-type structure with distorted aromatic rings. Density functional theory calculations provided insights into the loss of aromaticity in the distorted aromatic rings.

Summary: The complexation behavior of trivalent actinides and lanthanides with functional ligands was investigated. The results showed that the binding strength of Am(III) with DMAPA is slightly stronger than Nd(III). The complexation of Nd(III) with DMAPA is mainly entropy-driven, while the complexation of Am(III) with DMAPA is influenced by covalency.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biological effects of cancer stem cells (CSCs) irradiated by charged particle, including proliferation, invasion, migration, and changes in the molecular level. The results showed that CSCs have obvious radio-resistance compared with non-CSCs, and charged particle irradiation or in combination with drugs could overcome this resistance, specifically manifested in inhibiting CSCs' proliferation, invasion, migration, and causing more and harder to repair DNA double-stranded breaks (DSB) of CSCs.

Summary: Through a systematic review and meta-analysis of 37 cohort studies, it was found that an increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) per 250 mL/day was associated with a higher risk of breast, colorectal, biliary tract, and prostate cancer. Increased consumption of artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) per 250 mL/day was associated with a higher risk of leukemia. Increased consumption of 100% fruit juice per 250 mL/day was associated with a higher risk of overall cancer, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and thyroid cancer. There were linear dose-response associations between SSBs consumption and breast and kidney cancer, and between ASBs and fruit juices consumption and pancreatic cancer.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of head-of-bed elevation on patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). The results showed that elevating the head of the bed by 30 degrees can significantly reduce intracranial pressure (ICP), but did not have statistical differences on cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and disability at 90 days. Therefore, head-of-bed elevation of 30 degrees may be an effective noninvasive nursing practice for the prognosis and rehabilitation of ABI patients.

Summary: This study reviewed the effectiveness of intraoperative peritoneal lavage (IOPL) with saline in patients with intra-abdominal infections (IAIs). The findings suggest that IOPL with saline does not significantly reduce the risk of mortality, intra-abdominal abscess, incisional surgical site infection, postoperative complication, reoperation, and readmission when compared to non-IOPL. Therefore, routine use of IOPL with saline in patients with IAIs is not supported.

Summary: The CYP76 subfamily, which belongs to the CYP superfamily, is crucial for phytohormone biosynthesis and response to environmental stresses in plants. Genome-wide analysis of the CYP76 subfamily in seven AA genome species revealed three groups, with Group 1 having the largest number of members. Analysis of cis-acting elements showed a high number of elements related to jasmonic acid and light response. Gene duplication analysis indicated expansion mainly through SD/WGD and tandem forms, with strong purifying selection during evolution. Expression pattern analysis showed that OsCYP76s exhibit restricted expression patterns in leaves and roots. qRT-PCR analysis of CYP76s under abiotic stresses revealed specific response patterns and functional divergence between japonica and indica rice. These findings provide valuable insights into the functional diversity and evolution of the CYP76 subfamily and have implications for improving stress tolerance and agronomic traits in rice.

However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
