Low-platinum-group metal (low-PGM) catalysts play a crucial role in reducing the cost of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Dual-atomic catalysts offer valuable solutions due to their exceptional performance. This work explores the application of axial Cl-coordinated Pt─Co dual atoms on N-doped graphitic carbon (PtCo/NC─Cl) catalysts utilizing PtCo dual-atomic catalysts, demonstrating their ability to significantly enhance the acidic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic performance of conventional PtCo catalysts. The half-wave potential (E) reaches 0.841 V in a 0.1 M HClO solution, and only a reduction of 12 mV in E is observed after 5000 cycles. Axial Cl proves to be resistant to removal during the electroreduction reaction. Consequently, the use of heteroatom-modulated asymmetric structures can greatly improve the performance of Pt-based catalysts. Incorporating nonmetallic synergistic Pt-group metals presents a promising solution for achieving high-performance Low-PGMs.

This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of Sini Decoction on a murine model of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and to explore its potential mechanisms of action related to mitochondrial autophagy and M1 macrophage polarization. A total of 36 specific-pathogen-free Kunming mice were used to establish a PAD model and were randomly assigned into four groups: the experimental group (EG, administered Sini Decoction via gavage), the control group (CG, administered rapamycin via gavage), the model group (MG, administered 0.9% sodium chloride solution via gavage), and the normal group (NG, administered 0.

Background: Intensive language-action therapy treats language deficits and depressive symptoms in chronic poststroke aphasia, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in blood oxygenation level-dependent signals indicate persistence in brain activity patterns and may relate to learning and levels of depression. This observational study investigates blood oxygenation level-dependent LRTC changes alongside therapy-induced language and mood improvements in perisylvian and domain-general brain areas.

The surface structure of an electrocatalyst plays a crucial role in determining the activity. As a model system, gold has been widely investigated as an electro-oxidation catalyst, although there has been much less research on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the potential region of gold oxidation. Here, we combine voltammetric scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), at different spatial and angular resolutions, respectively, to correlate the local crystallographic structure of polycrystalline goldfocusing on grains close to (113), (011), (114), and (111) orientationswith the electrocatalytic behavior for the OER.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a prevalent complication of diabetes, leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and amputation rates. Chronic non-healing DFU often result from peripheral neuropathy, microvascular issues, and infection, with poor blood and oxygen supply being critical factors in delayed healing. The development of new treatments to promote blood supply and accelerate ulcer healing is a significant area of research for DFU management.
