A polyacrylamide gel method has been used to synthesize a variety of polyvalent-transition-metal-doped Ni position of high entropy spinel oxides (NiZnMgCuCo)AlO-800 °C (A) on the basis of NiAlO, and the catalytic activity of A is studied under the synergistic action of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation and simulated sunlight. The A containing polyvalent transition metals (Ni, Cu, and Co) can effectively activate PMS and efficiently degrade levofloxacin (LEV) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) under simulated sunlight irradiation. After 90 min of light exposure, the degradation percentages of LEV (50 mg L) and TCH (100 mg L) degrade by the A/PMS/vis system reach 87.0% and 90.2%, respectively. The superoxide radicals, photoinduced holes, and singlet oxides dominate the catalytic process, while hydroxyl radicals and sulfate radicals play only a small role. The adsorption energy and charge density difference between different systems and PMS are calculated by density functional theory, and the activation efficiency of PMS is studied by combining with the change of the length of the O─O bond of the PMS after adsorption. The catalytic mechanism of A/PMS/vis system is proposed, which provides a new idea and method for the study of high entropy oxides in the field of catalysis.

Introduction: Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that affects millions globally each year. In recent years, research into the potential production of recombinant antivenoms, formulated using mixtures of highly defined anti-toxin monoclonal antibodies, has rapidly moved from a theoretical concept to demonstrations of practical feasibility.
Areas Covered: This article examines the significant practical advancements in transitioning recombinant antivenoms from concept to potential clinical translation.

Flexible wearable potentiometric ion sensors for continuous monitoring of electrolyte cations have made significant advances in bioanalysis for personal healthcare and diagnostics. However, less attention is paid to the most abundant extracellular anion, chloride ion (Cl) as a mark of electrolyte imbalance and an important diagnostic indicator of cystic fibrosis, which has important significance for accurate monitoring in complex biological fluids. An all-solid-state Cl-selective electrode is constructed utilizing oxygen vacancies reinforced vanadium oxide with a nitrogen-doped carbon shield as the solid contact (VO@NC/Cl-ISE).

Objective: Identifying factors influencing cannabidiol (CBD) exposure can optimize treatment efficacy and safety. We aimed to describe the population pharmacokinetics of CBD in children with drug-resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) and assess the influence of environmental, pharmacological, and clinical characteristics on CBD systemic exposure.
Methods: Data from two pharmacokinetic studies of patients aged 2-18 years with DEEs were included (N = 48 patients).

Most processes of life are the result of polyvalent interactions between macromolecules, often of heterogeneous types and sizes. Frequently, the times associated with these interactions are prohibitively long for interrogation using atomistic simulations. Here, we study the recognition of N6-methylated adenine (mA) in RNA by the reader domain YTHDC1, a prototypical, cognate pair that challenges simulations through its composition and required timescales.
