Background: Integrated cardiovascular disease (CVD) and HIV (CVD-HIV) care interventions are being adopted to tackle the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) but there is a paucity of studies on the feasibility of these interventions in LMICs. This scoping review aims to present evidence of the feasibility of integrated CVD-HIV care in LMICs, and the alignment of feasibility reporting in LMICs with the existing implementation science methodology.
Methods: A systematic search of published articles including systematic and narrative reviews that reported on integrated CVD-HIV care was conducted, using multiple search engines including PubMed/Medline, Global Health, and Web of Science. Read More

Four 3-(tetrazol-5-yl)-5-(pyrid-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (H2TPT) based complexes of [Co2(TPT)2(H2O)2] (1), [Mn2(TPT)2(H2O)2] (2), [Mn(TPT)(H2O)2]n (3) and [Cu(TPT)]n (4) have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. Complexes 1 and 2 display isostructural dinuclear structures, while complex 3 exhibits a 1D zigzag chain structure. The structural difference for 2 and 3 may be caused by 100 and 160 °C temperature-controlled conditions. Read More

Benzene derivatives are seriously harmful to environment and human health, and sensitively detecting these compounds is of great significance but is a challenge. Hence, we designed and synthesized two luminescent lanthanide-organic frameworks, [{Ln(SIP)(H2O)4}]n, [Ln = Tb (1), Eu (2)], with high solvent and pH stability, which can be used as luminescent probes to detect toluene and benzaldehyde among various reagents, and the detection limit can reach up to 10-7 mol L-1 for toluene, and 10-6 mol L-1 for benzaldehyde. Regenerated experimental results indicate that both 1 and 2 can be used for at least five cycles with high precision. Read More

Multiplex proteome quantification with high accuracy is urgently required to achieve a comprehensive understanding of dynamic cellular and physiological processes. Among the existing quantification strategies, fragment ion-based methods can provide highly accurate results, but the multiplex capacity is limited to 3-plex. Herein, we developed a multiplex pseudo-isobaric dimethyl labeling (m-pIDL) method to extend the capacity of the fragment ion-based method to 6-plex by one-step dimethyl labeling with several millidalton and dalton mass differences between precursor ions and enlarging the isolation window of precursor ions to 10 m/z during data acquisition.

A unique penta-coordinate nickel complex [{1,2-C6H4(SiMe2)(SiH)}2Ni(PEt3)(depe)] (6) that generates two new Si-Si single bonds has been prepared exclusively by the reaction of a chelating silyl hydride 1-(dimethylsilyl)-2-silylbenzene (4) and Ni(depe)(PEt3)2 (depe = Et2PCH2CH2PEt2) in a 2 : 1 ratio. Complex 6 is the first example of mononuclear silyl nickel complexes containing a Si-Si single bond formed in situ. Interestingly, framework 6 exhibits reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations upon the removal and rebinding of the coordinating PEt3 molecule, which give rise to a PEt3-free complex [{1,2-C6H4(SiMe2)(SiH)}2Ni(depe)] (6'), concomitant with the alteration of the coordination geometry of central metal atoms.

The mechanisms and origins for ligand-controlled non-decarbonylative and decarbonylative conversions of acyl fluorides catalyzed by palladium catalysts with different ligands tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3) and 1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (DCPE) have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In the case of the DCPE ligand, the favorable catalytic cycle contains four steps, oxidative addition, decarbonylation, transmetallation and reductive elimination. In the case of the PCy3 ligand, the favorable catalytic cycle proceeds by three steps, oxidative addition, transmetallation and reductive elimination. Read More

A Schiff base ligand resulting from the reaction of ovanillin and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane allows the preparation of hetero-dinuclear [Ni-Ln]3+ or -trinuclear [Ni-Ln-Ni]3+ complexes. Although empirical parameters for rationalizing the strength of the ferromagnetic Ni-Gd interaction have already been discussed in several papers, no systematic study has been devoted to the control of the nuclearity of such complexes. With the help of structural determinations, we demonstrate the role of solvent and of the nature of ancillary ligands, linked to the Ln ions, in nuclearity. Read More

Catalytic ethylene oligomerization proceeds under mild conditions with high activity using porous or non-porous nickel-based coordination polymers/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts. The role of MOFs as catalyst precursors and the crucial impact of metal coordination on the catalyst activity and leaching are elucidated by comparing MOFs constructed from different clusters and linkers. The stronger the coordination bond of organic linkers to the Ni center, the lower the catalytic activity of the MOF, as shown for CPO-27(Ni). Read More

Combination therapy is a fast-growing strategy to maximize therapeutic benefits to patients. Co-formulation of two or more therapeutic proteins has advantages over the administration of multiple medications, including reduced medication errors and convenience for patients. Characterization of co-formulated biologics can be challenging due to the high degree of similarity in the physicochemical properties of co-formulated proteins, especially at different concentrations of individual components.

Self-assembly processes of three octahedron-shaped [Pd6L12]12+ cages were investigated by an NMR-based quantitative approach. As to the on-pathway of the Pd6L12 cage assembly, the final intramolecular ligand exchange in an incomplete cage, [Pd6L12Py*]12+ (Py*: 3-chloropyridine, which was used as a leaving ligand), is the rate-determining step in the self-assembly of all the three [Pd6L12]12+ cages. Contrary to the previous finding that the self-assembly of [PdmL2m]2m+ structures (m = 2, 3) and [Pd6L8]12+ capsules from rigid multitopic ligands efficiently takes place without the formation of kinetically trapped species under mild conditions, in the self-assembly of the [Pd6L12]12+ cages, even relatively rigid ditopic ligands co-produced 100 nm-sized kinetic traps through off-pathways, which would be because the energy landscape becomes more complicated by increasing the number of components in the final assembly.

A low-cost and facile method to synthesize highly crystallized VO2 (M1) particles is proposed, using carbon black as the reducing agent mixed with V2O5 nanopowders comparing two types of vacuum systems for the thermal activation. In a sealed vacuum system, CO gas is generated in the first reductive step, and continues to reduce the new born VO2, until all the V (+4) is reduced to V (+3), resulting in V2O3 formation at 1000 °C. In contrast, in a dynamic vacuum system, CO gas is ejected through pumping as soon as it is generated, leading to the formation of pure VO2 (M1) at high temperatures (i. Read More

Methylene bridged 2,2'-dipyridylamine (dpa) derivatives and their metal complexes possess outstanding properties due to their inherent structural flexibility. Synthesis of such complexes typically involves derivatization of dpa followed by coordination on metals, and may not always be very efficient. In this work, an alternative synthetic approach, involving the derivatization step after - rather than prior to - coordination of dpa on metal center, is proposed and applied to synthesis of a number of platinum(ii) complexes with substituted benzyldi(2-pyridyl)amines.

Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) are a subclass of MOFs known for their remarkable stability, especially in the presence of water. This makes them extremely attractive for practical applications, including CO2 capture from industrial emission sources; however, the CO2 adsorption capacity of Zr-MOFs is moderate compared to that of the best performing MOFs reported to date. Functionalization of Zr-MOFs with amino groups has been demonstrated to increase their affinity for CO2. Read More

The independent diffusion of the metal and nonmetal atoms led to a unique hexagonal lattice structure of the B4(HfMo2TaTi)C ceramic with alternating layers of metal atoms and C/B atoms. In addition, the classical differences in the crystal structures and lattice parameters among the utilized carbides were overcome. Read More

The reaction of [RhCl(COD)]2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with racemic PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO) and pyridine (py) led to the oxidative addition of the aldehyde, and a single geometric isomer of [RhHCl(PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CO))(py)2] (1), with hydride trans to chloride, was obtained as a mixture of two diastereomers in a 95 : 5 ratio; this was in agreement with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In a chloroform solution, the exchange of hydride by chloride yielded [RhCl2(PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CO))(py)2] (2) as a mixture of a kinetically preferred species, trans-py-2a, and two diastereomers, cis-Cl-2b' and cis-Cl-2b, with cis pyridines and a chloride trans to acyl; as predicted by the DFT calculations, the latter was the major species. Complex 1 reacted with racemic PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO) or PPh2(o-C6H4CHO) to afford [RhHCl(PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CO))(κ1-PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO))(py)] (3) or [RhHCl(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))(κ1-PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO))(py)] (4), respectively, both with a dangling alkylaldehyde.

Complexes of divalent ytterbium (1) and europium (2) with a dianionic o-amidophenolate ligand were prepared by both the direct reduction of 4,6-di-tert-butyl-N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-o-iminobenzoquinone (dpp-IQ) and the salt metathesis reaction of potassium o-amidophenolate with LnI2 (Ln = Yb, Eu). Oxidation of o-amidophenolates 1, 2 with one equivalent of dpp-IQ as well as the salt metathesis reaction of potassium o-iminosemiquinolate with LnI2 afforded ligand mixed-valent o-iminosemiquinonato-amidophenolato complexes of trivalent ytterbium (3) and europium (4). All novel complexes 1-4 were fully characterized, including the solid state structures of 1 and 2 determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Read More

In aqueous media, the introduction of additional metal species into polyoxometalates (POMs) with multiple vacant sites, such as a hexavacant Dawson-type phosphotungstate, which is of interest for the synthesis of novel metal oxide clusters, is generally difficult because they easily undergo self-condensation and/or structural decomposition. In this study, we succeeded in developing a novel synthetic method to obtain metal-substituted γ-Dawson-type phosphotungstate monomers by introducing metal species into an organic solvent-soluble lacunary phosphotungstate, TBA4H10[α-P2W12O48] (I) (TBA = tetra-n-butylammonium), in organic media. The reaction of I, which possessed two types of vacant sites, i. Read More

The crystal structure of Bacillus subtilis SirB, which catalyses the insertion of Fe2+ into the substrate sirohydrochlorin (SHC) in siroheme biosynthesis, is reported herein as the last of the structures of class II chelatases. The structure of SirB with Co2+ showed that the active site of SirB is located at the N-terminal domain with metal-binding amino acid residues His10, Glu43, and His76, which was also predicted for CbiX, but is distinct from the C-terminal active sites of CbiK and HemH. The biosynthetic model reactions using SirB, Co2+ and uroporphyrin I or protoporphyrin IX as a SHC analogue revealed that SirB showed chelatase activity for uroporphyrin I, but not for protoporphyrin IX.

Intracellular ferritin stores iron as ferrihydrite and releases it for various cellular metabolic activities. The reductive approach, one of the possible mechanisms of iron mobilization from ferritin nanocages, requires electron transfer (ET) from reducing agent(s) to the protein encapsulated iron. In vitro, the rate of ET from the physiological reducing agent, NADH, to mineralized ferritin is very slow resulting in a smaller amount of iron release. Read More

We discuss the important, but greatly under-researched, topic of the social aspects of human wayfinding during navigation. Wayfinding represents the planning and decision-making component of navigation and is arguably among the most common, real-world domains of both individual and group-level decision making. We highlight the myriad ways that wayfinding by people is not a solitary psychological process but is influenced by the actions of other people, even by their mere presence. Read More

The Active Anthrax Detect (AAD) Rapid Test lateral flow immunoassay is a point-of-care assay that was under investigational use for detecting Bacillus anthracis capsular polypeptide (polyglutamic acid) in human blood, serum, and plasma. Small sample volumes, rapid results, and no refrigeration required allow for easy use in either the field or laboratory. Although the test was developed for use in suspect cases of human inhalation anthrax, its features also make it a potentially powerful tool for testing suspect animal cases. Read More

For the development of redox responsive MRI probes based on the MnIII/MnII couple, stable complexation of both reduced and oxidized forms of the metal ion and appropriate tuning of the redox potential in the biologically relevant range are key elements. The water soluble fluorinated Mn-porphyrin derivative Mn-3 satisfies both requirements. In aqueous solutions, it can reversibly switch between MnIII/MnII oxidation states. Read More

Anionic cyclometalated complexes (NBu4)[Pt(CNC)X] (X = Cl (1), CN (2), or S-2py (pyridine-2-thiolate) (3); -CNC- = 2,6-di(phen-2-ide)-pyridine) have been used as precursors in the synthesis of heteropolynuclear Pt-Ag or Pt-Tl complexes containing donor-acceptor metal-metal bonds. Their reaction with AgClO4 or [Ag(OClO3)(PPh3)] produces complexes in which the nuclearity and structure seem to be determined by the ability of the ligand X to form bridges between the metals. Thus, the characteristic linear bridging of the cyano ligand leads to the formation of an octanuclear [{Pt(CNC)(μ-CN)}4Ag4] (4) or tetranuclear [{Pt(CNC)(μ-CN)}2{Ag(PPh3)}2] (6) complex, with CN bridges between different "Pt-Ag" units.

Efficient and irreversible capture of radioactive nuclides is an important environmental protection task when disposing of nuclear wastewater. This paper uses an "ion trapping" concept to design an efficient adsorbent based on a metal-organic framework (MOF), for removal of radioactive strontium from nuclear wastewater. Two functionalized MOFs were achieved by the introduction of sulfate or oxalate into the pore structure of MOF-808, giving MOF-808-SO4 and MOF-808-C2O4, respectively. Read More

Previous studies on the neutral and cationic half-sandwich iridium(iii) and ruthenium(ii) complexes showed that the charge and the substitution pattern of the bidentate ligands, as well as the nature of the accompanying counteranion have a significant effect on their biological activities. In this contribution, a series of zwitterionic and cationic half-sandwich iridium(iii) and ruthenium(ii) complexes containing sulfonate groups have been prepared and characterized. The different locations of counteranions between these two kinds of complexes exert great influence on the cytotoxic activity towards cancer cells. Read More
