However, affected by drug dosage and individual differences in the course of medication, patients will have different degrees of adverse reactions, which will cause damage to the patient’s body once they occur. This paper retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with severe allergic reactions such as fecal incontinence and numbness of hands and feet caused by the use of paclitaxel liposome during postoperative chemotherapy in a case of ovarian cancer admitted to our hospital. The causes and corresponding treatment measures were analyzed, in order to provide the reference for medical staff to take effective countermeasures in advance in the future.展开更多

文摘Anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers(AEMWEs)for green hydrogen production have received intensive attention due to their feasibility of using earth-abundant NiFe-based catalysts.By introducing a third metal into NiFe-based catalysts to construct asymmetrical M-NiFe units,the d-orbital and electronic structures can be adjusted,which is an important strategy to achieve sufficient oxygen evolution reaction(OER)performance in AEMWEs.Herein,the ternary NiFeM(M:La,Mo)catalysts featured with distinct M-NiFe units and varying d-orbitals are reported in this work.Experimental and theoretical calculation results reveal that the doping of La leads to optimized hybridization between d orbital in NiFeM and 2p in oxygen,resulting in enhanced adsorption strength of oxygen intermediates,and reduced rate-determining step energy barrier,which is responsible for the enhanced OER performance.More critically,the obtained NiFeLa catalyst only requires 1.58 V to reach 1 A cm^(−2) in an anion exchange membrane electrolyzer and demonstrates excellent long-term stability of up to 600 h.
文摘Three efficient methods for the synthesis of a series of Cu(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅰ) complexes based on imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives were developed.These methods include the following:(ⅰ)Cu(Ⅱ) salts were used as metal sources and N,N-dimethylformamide was employed as a solvent as well as a reductant to produce Cu(Ⅰ) complexes.(ⅱ) An iodide-containing compound was utilized as a ligand and iodide source to prepare complexes.An in situ metalligand reaction occurred and an iodide-bridged copper complex was generated.(ⅲ) A series of aldehydes were added to the reaction systems to induce in situ metal-ligand reactions between the aldehydes and the imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives,producing polydentate ligand scaffolds.Eight complexes were prepared and characterized.The catalytic activities of these complexes toward the ketalization of ketones by ethylene glycol were investigated.With the exception of complex4,the remaining seven complexes all showed high catalytic activity.The lower activity of 4 may be due to the larger radius of bridging iodide ions and the shorter Cu(Ⅰ)…Cu(Ⅰ) distance.CCDC:2357696,1·2CH_(2)Cl_(2);2357697,2;2018292,3;2092192,4;2092190,5;2155557,6;2406155,7;2406156,8·EtOH.
文摘An efficient visible-light induced nickel-catalyzed reductive Heck reaction of alkenes by using mild organic reductant Hantzsch ester(HEH)instead of traditional metal reductants or hydride reagents was developed.The reductive hydroarylation of acrylates with aryl halides was successfully achieved without requiring exogenous photoredox catalysts.This reaction is highlighted by the simple and mild conditions,good functional group tolerance,thus providing a complementary approach for alkenes reductive Heck reaction.
文摘Chiral carbonyl compounds frequently occur in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, they serve as important intermediates in organic synthesis. Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric carbonylative cross-coupling reactions are among the most straightforward and effective methods for synthesizing chiral carbonyl compounds, including esters, amides, and ketones. The advances in asymmetric carbonylative cross-coupling reactions using various O-, N-, C-, and S-containing nucleophiles or electrophiles over the past decade are summarized.
文摘A novel method for synthesis of quinazoline through the hydrogen transfer/annulation reaction using 2-nitrobenzyl alcohol and benzylamine as starting materials is presented.The reaction is catalyzed by a ruthenium(II)complex bearing a N-heterocyclic carbene nitrogen phosphine(CNP)ligand.The pronouncedα-donating capacity of the carbene within the CNP ligand of the catalyst plays a crucial role in stabilizing the catalytically active species.Additionally,the hemilability of the nitrogen facilitates the creation of coordination vacancies,which are essential for the activation of reaction substrate molecules.The synergistic interplay between these two functionalities markedly enhances catalytic efficiency.This catalytic system shows the significant catalytic activity and selectivity,along with a broad substrate adaptability.All substrates yield the target product in good to excellent yields with the maximum yield reaching 95%.Control experiments have substantiated that benzaldehyde and phenylmethanimine may serve as intermediates in the reaction,thereby reinforcing the role of benzylamine as both a hydrogen donor and a nitrogen source in the process.
文摘Paclitaxel is one of the commonly used drugs in postoperative chemotherapy for ovarian cancer patients. However, affected by drug dosage and individual differences in the course of medication, patients will have different degrees of adverse reactions, which will cause damage to the patient’s body once they occur. This paper retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with severe allergic reactions such as fecal incontinence and numbness of hands and feet caused by the use of paclitaxel liposome during postoperative chemotherapy in a case of ovarian cancer admitted to our hospital. The causes and corresponding treatment measures were analyzed, in order to provide the reference for medical staff to take effective countermeasures in advance in the future.

文摘Alloying transition metals with Pt is an effective strategy for optimizing Pt-based catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).Atomic ordered intermetallic compounds(IMC)provide unique electronic and geometrical effects as well as stronger intermetallic interactions due to the ordered arrangement of metal atoms,thus exhibiting superior electrocata-lytic activity and durability.However,quantitatively analyzing the ordering degree of IMC and exploring the correlation between the ordering degree and ORR activity remains extremely challenging.Herein,a series of ternary Pt_(2)NiCo interme-tallic catalysts(o-Pt_(2)NiCo)with different ordering degree were synthesized by annealing temperature modulation.Among them,the o-Pt_(2)NiCo which annealed at 800℃for two hours exhibits the highest ordering degree and the optimal ORR ac-tivity,which the mass activity of o-Pt_(2)NiCo is 1.8 times and 2.8 times higher than that of disordered Pt_(2)NiCo alloy and Pt/C.Furthermore,the o-Pt_(2)NiCo still maintains 70.8%mass activity after 30,000 potential cycles.Additionally,the ORR activity test results for Pt_(2)NiCo IMC with different ordering degree also provide a positive correlation between the ordering degree and ORR activity.This work provides a prospective design direction for ternary Pt-based electrocatalysts.

文摘Peng et al.in[Phys.Rev.Research,2020,2(3):033089,11 pp.]formulated one-way fluxes for a general chemical reaction far from equilibrium,with arbitrary complex mechanisms,multiple intermediates,and internal kinetic cycles.They defined the limit of the ratio of mesoscopic one-way fluxes and the volume of the tank reactor when the volume tends to infinity as macroscopic one-way fluxes,but a rigorous proof of existence of the limit is still awaiting.In this article,we fill this gap under a mild hypothesis:the Markov chain associated with the chemical master equation has finite states and any two columns in the stoichiometric matrices are not identical.In fact,an explicit expression of the limit is obtained.
文摘A blue light-induced formal insertion reaction ofα-siloxy carbene into the C—H bond of 1,3-diketones has been reported.Under the irradiation of blue light,acylsilane converts toα-siloxy carbene,which then undergoes formal C—H bond insertion reaction with the enol form of 1,3-diketone.This method uses readily available and relative stable acylsilane as car-bene precursor,which features a simple and metal-free approach under mild conditions.Moreover,the synthetic potential of this protocol has been demonstrated by performing the reaction on a gram scale with comparable high yield.
文摘By using a newly developed 4-hydroxy picolinohydrazide as the ligand,Cu-catalyzed coupling of(hetero)aryl chlorides with sodium aryl sulfonates proceeded smoothly at 130℃to give a series of biarylsulfones in 53%~96%yields.This represents the first metal-catalyzed coupling reaction of(hetero)aryl chlorides with sodium aryl sulfonates.Aryl and heteroaryl chlorides bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups were applicable for this coupling reaction.
文摘Through employing zeolitic imidazolate framework-67(ZIF-67)templates,the straightforward hydrother-mal and electrodeposition methods were applied to synthesize FeOOH@CoMoO_(4)heterostructure attached to the sur-face of nickel foam(NF).The specific structure of the as-prepared FeOOH@CoMoO_(4)/NF-400s provided pronounced porosity and extensive surface area,enhancing rapid electron transport and exposing abundant active sites to improve catalytic reactions.Furthermore,the introduction of FeOOH,which induces electron transfer from FeOOH to CoMoO_(4),confirms their strong electronic interaction,thereby leading to an accelerated surface catalytic reaction.Consequently,the constructed FeOOH@CoMoO_(4)/NF-400s heterostructure demonstrated exceptional oxygen evolu-tion reaction(OER)activity,requiring an overpotential of 199 mV to deliver the current density of 10 mA·cm^(-2),cou-pled with the superior Tafel slope value of 49.56 mV·dec^(-1)and outstanding stability over 20 h under the current densities of both 10 and 100 mA·cm^(-2).
