A coupled oxygen evolution mechanism (COM) during reaction (OER) has been reported in nickel oxyhydroxides (NiOOH)-based materials by realizing eg* band (3d electron states with eg symmetry) broadening and light irradiation. However, the link between extent COM-based OER activities remains unclear. Here, Ni1-xFexOOH (x = 0, 0.05, 0,2) are prepared to investigate underlying governing activities. It is revealed that low potential region, stronger could facilitate *OH deprotonation. Meanwhile,...
Abstract A comprehensive understanding of surface reconstruction was critical to developing high performance lattice oxygen oxidation mechanism (LOM) based perovskite electrocatalysts. Traditionally, the primary determining factor process believed be vacancy formation energy. Hence, most previous studies focused on optimizing composition reduce energy, which in turn facilitated process. Here, for first time, we found that adding oxyanions (SO 4 2− , CO 3 NO − ) into electrolyte could...
Studies have shown that maternal blood pressure level is associated with neonatal birthweight, but the results are not exactly consistent. As most common hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, mechanism of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia affect fetal growth remain unclear. Our objective was to examine association risk low birthweight (LBW) small-for-gestational-age (SGA). Data were obtained from China-US Collaborative Project for Neural Tube Defects Prevention, a large...
Exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors (EDCs) may lead abnormal glucose metabolism and, potentially, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We investigated the association between five endocrine-disrupting heavy metals (EDHMs), i.e., arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), (Pb), mercury (Hg), and tin (Sn), in maternal hair risk of GDM. conducted a nested case-control study including 335 GDM cases 343 controls without based on prospective birth cohort established Beijing, China. Concentrations...
To investigate the impact of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia on preterm birth.
Trace elements have various physiochemical functions in humans and are associated with the occurrence of preterm birth (PB). However, their mixed effects on PB risk rarely been studied. We aimed to investigate associations between hair levels trace among pregnant women. A nested case-control study a prospective cohort was conducted Beijing City, China. included 82 women who had [total (tPB)] as cases [including 40 spontaneous (SPB)] 415 term delivery controls. Hair concerned were measured...
Releasing epitaxial perovskite oxide films from their native substrates produces high quality, 2D-material-like monocrystalline freestanding membranes, as potential key components for the next-generation electronic devices. Two major obstacles still limit practical applications: macroscopic material defects (mainly cracks) that lowers uniformity and yield, cost of consumed substrates. Here, a two-step film transfer method substrate recycling enable repetitive fabrication millimeter-scale,...
Few studies have explored the effects of multiple types metals/metalloids on spontaneous preterm birth (SPB). A nested case-control study was conducted in Shanxi Province to investigate associations between maternal exposure 41 during early pregnancy and risk SPB, clarify underlying mechanisms oxidative stress DNA methylation.A total 74 controls with full-term delivery cases SPB were included study. The serum adducts peripheral blood cell determined using ICP-MS UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS, respectively....
Abstract Some research indicates that soil seed banks can promote species coexistence through storage effects. However, the bank mechanism maintains plant assembly and its role in degraded grassland restoration are still not clear. We collected samples from early, mid late secondary successional stages of an abandoned subalpine meadow on Tibetan Plateau, each stage were exposed to full (i.e., natural), mid, low light treatments field represent availability at bottom/understory (soil surface)...
The poor prognosis of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) often leads to amputation and high mortality rates, becoming a heavy economic burden on the healthcare system. Several clinical studies have been conducted investigate risk factors for DFU provide guidance better prevention control mortality. We used R organize data patients with DFU, collected from NHANES database during 1994-2004 period, along three kidney function indicators including Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (ACR), estimated Glomerular...
This work presents a new method of catalyst surface modification by using oxygen plasma to change the oxidation state active sites in metal oxide catalysts.
Less is known about the impact of maternal preconception anemia on birth outcomes. We aimed to examine associations between hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations with risk low weight (LBW) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA). This study was from a large population-based prospective cohort in China included 124,725 women singleton live births delivered at gestational ages 28-45 weeks who were registered before pregnancy. Maternal Hb measured during registration, other health-related information...
Titanium (Ti) is commonly used in additives the form of titanium dioxide (TiO2). However, our understanding effect Ti on reproductive health remains limited. This nested case-control study, performed a mining exposure field, investigated association between maternal blood concentration and risk low birth weight (LBW), as well potential biological mechanism. A total 45 women who delivered LBW infants (cases) 352 with normal (controls) were included. We collected peripheral samples first or...
Rare earth elements (REEs) are emerging contaminants. Previous studies reported the association between REEs and active smoking, but little is known about effects of passive smoking on this condition. In China, female widespread, particularly in rural areas.
Background: Increasing evidence has shown that active smoking can increase the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but effect passive is still unknown. Women in pregnancy are vulnerable to secondhand smoke. This study explored association with GDM China. Method: A total 3083 nonsmoking pregnant women living Beijing were recruited into a prospective cohort study. Sociodemographic and data collected structured questionnaires during face-to-face interviews. Glucose levels measured by...
We performed this study to clarify the dynamic changes in maternal manganese (Mn) concentration during pregnancy and its association with spontaneous preterm birth (SPB). A nested case-control was conducted based on Beijing Birth Cohort Study (BBCS) from 2018 2020. Singleton women aged 18-44 (n = 488) were involved study, including 244 cases of SPB controls. All participants provided blood samples twice (in their first third trimesters). Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)...
Parental exposure to rare earth elements (REEs) could increase the risk of premature rupture membranes, a major cause spontaneous preterm birth (SPB). In addition, different subtypes SPB, such as labor (SPL) and membranes (PPROM), may have susceptibility environmental exposure. Therefore, we investigated potential associations between REE in trimesters SPB its subtypes.A nested case-control study was performed. We included 244 women with cases full-term delivery controls. The plasma...
