Electrochemical Sensor Based on Co-MOF for the Detection of Dihydromyricetin in <i>Ampelopsis grossedentata</i> by Xiaojing Si, Yue Huang, Mei Han, Liqiang Luo

“…The results showed that, in comparison to the bare GCE, the electro-oxidation peak current of DMY was considerably increased by the Co-MOF/GCE. The detection limit was 0.07 μM, and the peak current demonstrated two linear relationships in the ranges of 0.2−20 μM and 20−100 μM, with the linear equations of Ip (μA) = 0.4729c (μM) + 1.0822 (R² = 0.9913) and Ip (μA) = 0.0939c (μM) + 8.4178 (R² = 0.9971), respectively. …”

Causal relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and sex: a Mendelian randomization study by Kaiwen Wang, Yu Lou, Shunjie Tian, Zhihui Tao, Zhihui Tao

“…We used inverse variance weighting (IVW), weighted median, weighted mode, and MR-Egger to assess bidirectional causality between sex hormones and IBD.ResultsThere was no causal relationship between sex hormones and IBD in women (P &gt; 0.05), and there was a causal and positive correlation between SHBG and testosterone and IBD in men.The OR for SHBG was 1.22 (95% CI: 1.09-1.37, P = 0.0004), and for testosterone was 1.20 (95% CI: 1.04-1.39, P = 0.0145).IBD did not significantly interact with female sex hormones but resulted in a decrease in SHBG (OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.00-1.04, P = 0.0195) and testosterone (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00 -1.02, P = 0.0200) in men.ConclusionThere is no causal relationship between female sex hormones and IBD, but male SHBG and testosterone are positively correlated with the risk of IBD and IBD promotes elevated levels of SHBG and testosterone in males, suggesting that sex hormones play different roles in IBD patients of different sexes.…”

Separation of infrared and bulk in thermal QCD by The χQCD collaboration and the CLQCD collaboration, Xiao-Lan Meng, Peng Sun, Andrei Alexandru, Ivan Horváth, Keh-Fei Liu, Gen Wang, Yi-Bo Yang

“…An important aspect of our results is that, while at T = 234 MeV we find a dimensional jump between zero modes and lowest near-zero modes very close to unity (d IR = 3 to d IR ≃ 2), similar to the IR phase of pure-glue QCD, at T = 187 MeV we observe a continuous λ-dependence. This suggests that thermal states just above the chiral crossover are non-analytically (in T) connected to thermal state at T = 234 MeV, supporting the key original proposition that the transition into the IR regime occurs at a temperature strictly above the chiral crossover.…”
