The prevalence and risk factors of intraoperative hypothermia in patients with hip/knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Intraoperative hypothermia (IOH) is common among patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) of the lower extremities. Evaluating the risk factors for IOH is critical for the success of preventive interventions. This study aims to systematically assess the prevalence and risk factors of IOH in TJA patients.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of ACS and ACO gene family in Ziziphus jujuba mill during fruit ripening.

The jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) cultivar 'Dongzao' is globally popular as a fresh fruit but faces challenges with shelf life, which is positively associated with ethylene production. The two key enzymes involved in ethylene biosynthesis, 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic acid Synthase (ACS) and 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic acid Oxidase (ACO), are encoded by ACS and ACO gene families, respectively.

Hydrogen-Bonding Network and OH Stretch Vibration of Cellulose: Comparison of Computational Modeling with Polarized IR and SFG Spectra.

Hydrogen bonds play critical roles in noncovalent directional interactions determining the crystal structure of cellulose. Although diffraction studies accurately determined the coordinates of carbon and oxygen atoms in crystalline cellulose, the structural information on hydrogen atoms involved in hydrogen-bonding is still elusive. This could be complemented by vibrational spectroscopy; but the assignment of the OH stretch peaks has been controversial.

Hydration control of the mechanical and dynamical properties of cellulose.

The mechanical and dynamical properties of cellulose, the most abundant biomolecule on earth, are essential for its function in plant cell walls and advanced biomaterials. Cellulose is almost always found in a hydrated state, and it is therefore important to understand how hydration influences its dynamics and mechanics. Here, the nanosecond-time scale dynamics of cellulose is characterized using dynamic neutron scattering experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation.
