    Abstract: To propose and evaluate a metric for quantifying hospital‐specific disparities in health outcomes that can be used by patients and hospitals. Data Sources/Study Setting Inpatient admissions for Medicare patients with acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, or pneumonia to all non‐federal, short‐term, acute care hospitals during 2012‐2015. Study Design Building on the current Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services methodology for calculating risk‐standardized readmission rates, we developed models that include a hospital‐specific random coefficient for either patient dual eligibility status or African American race. These coefficients quantify the difference in risk‐standardized outcomes by dual eligibility and race at a given hospital after accounting for the hospital's patient case mix and proportion of dual eligible or African American patients. We demonstrate this approach and report variation and performance in hospital‐specific disparities. Principal Findings Dual eligibility and African American race were associated with higher readmission rates within hospitals for all three conditions. However, this disparity effect varied substantially across hospitals. Conclusion Our models isolate a hospital‐specific disparity effect and demonstrate variation in quality of care for different groups of patients across conditions and hospitals. Illuminating within‐hospital disparities can incentivize hospitals to reduce inequities in health care quality.

    Abstract: In optimizing perovskites with ionic liquid (IL), the comparative study on Lewis acid‐base (LAB) and hydrogen‐bonding (HB) interactions between IL and perovskite is lacking. Herein, methyl is substituted for hydrogen on 2‐position of imidazolium ring of N ‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) type IL IdH to weaken HB interactions, and the resulting N ‐heterocyclic olefin (NHO) type IL IdMe with softer Lewis base character is studied in both hybrid quasi‐2D (Q‐2D) and 3D perovskites. It is revealed that IdMe participates in constructing high‐quality Q‐2D perovskite (n = 4) and provides stronger passivation for 3D perovskite compared with IdH. Power conversion efficiency (PCE) of Q‐2D PEA 2 MA 3 Pb 4 I 13 perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) is boosted to 17.68% from 14.03%. PCE and device stability of 3D PVSCs enhances simultaneously. Both theoretical simulations and experimental results show that LAB interactions between NHO and Pb 2+ take the primary optimization effects on perovskite. The success of engineering LAB interactions also offers inspiration to develop novel ILs for high‐performance PVSCs.

    Abstract: Ultra‐small Pd nanoparticles (UNPs) represent a distinctive type of nanomaterial making them very attractive for a range of applications. Herein, chiral sugar‐substituted N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with various lengths of alkyl chain (sugar‐NHCs‐ n C n H 2 n +1 ) were first used to prepare water‐soluble Pd@NHCs‐sugar UNPs via an efficient ligand‐exchange strategy, which can be handled under air and are stable over 10 months. The Pd@NHCs‐sugar UNPs were highly monodisperse, with tunable core diameters from 1.7 to 2.1 nm, and an effect of the particle size on the N‐substituted aliphatic chains was observed. To investigate the accessibility of the surface, the Pd@NHCs‐sugar UNPs were studied as catalysts for C–C coupling reaction in eco‐friendly ethanol aqueous solution without any precipitation of metallic Pd. The presence of the longest aliphatic group in the Pd@NHCs‐sugar UNPs imparts to them the highest catalyst activity (turnover number and turnover frequency up to 196 000 and 3 920 000 h −1 ).

    Abstract: The influence of ring size ( 5 or 6 ), chain length ( 1 , 2 or 3 ) and bulkiness of N ‐aryl substituents in amine‐bridged bis(phenol) ligands ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) on palladium‐catalyzed aqueous C‐C coupling reactions were revealed. The homocoupling of arylboronic acid can be completed in neat water with the aid of a catalytic amount of p ‐toluenesulfonyl chloride (TsCl) in a very short time under anaerobic or aerobic conditions. Interestingly, the same catalytic system was efficient for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction in aqueous acetone under aerobic conditions in the absence of TsCl. The crystal structures of ligand 1 and three unsymmetrical fluorine‐substituted biaryl derivatives were also reported. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Abstract: Heart failure (HF) progression can be prevented by an inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin and an autophagy enhancer rapamycin. This current study aimed to investigate the effect of rapamycin on HF progression and myocardial cells apoptosis. Methods HF rats were injected with low‐, middle‐, and high‐dose rapamycin. Echocardiography, hematoxylin‐eosin staining, plasma brain natriuretic peptide, myocardial cells apoptosis, and Akt activation in rapamycin‐treated rats were detected. Results HF rats showed reduced cardiac functions, destructive pathological changes in the myocardium, enhanced Akt activation and myocardial cells apoptosis. However, rapamycin reversed all the changes in a dose‐dependent manner. Cardiac functions were enhanced by rapamycin. Myocardial cells apoptotic percentage, Akt expression, and pathological changes of the myocardium in HF rats were inhibited by rapamycin administration. Conclusions Rapamycin protected against myocardial hypertrophy and myocardial cells apoptosis in HF rats in a dose‐dependent manner.

    Abstract: Atherosclerosis is a complex pathological process involving macrophages, endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells that can lead to ischemic heart disease; however, the mechanisms underlying cell‐to‐cell communication in atherosclerosis are poorly understood. In this study, we focused on the role of exosomal miRNAs in crosstalk between macrophages and endothelial cells and explored the rarely studied molecular mechanisms involved. Our in vitro result showed that macrophage‐derived exosomal miR‐4532 significantly disrupted human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) function by targeting SP1 and downstream NF‐κB P65 activation. In turn, increased endothelin‐1 (ET‐1), intercellular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1) and decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression in HUVECs increased attraction of macrophages, exacerbating foam cell formation and transfer of exosomal miR‐4532 to HUVECs. MiR‐4532 overexpression significantly promoted endothelial injury and pretreatment with an inhibitor of miR‐4532 or GW4869 (exosome inhibitor) could reverse this injury. In conclusion, our data reveal that exosomes have a critical role in crosstalk between HUVECs and macrophages. Further, exosomal miR‐4532 transferred from macrophages to HUVECs and targeting specificity protein 1 (SP1) may be a novel therapeutic target in patients with atherosclerosis.

    Abstract: Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) may also suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the two conditions may interact to increase the risk of death. The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors contributing to in‐hospital mortality in patients with CHF and CKD and to develop a nomogram to predict the risk of in‐hospital mortality. Methods and results This retrospective study used data from the Marketplace for Medical Information in Intensive Care (MIMIC‐IV, version 1.0). Patients diagnosed with CHF and CKD in MIMIC‐IV were included in this study. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression is used to select risk variables for the nomogram model, and bootstrap is used for internal validation. Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) and Logistic Organ Dysfunction Score (LODS) were compared with the nomogram model by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA). A total of 4638 adult patients with CHF and CKD were included in the final cohort; of them, 707 (15.2%) died and 3931 (84.8%) survived during hospitalization. Our final model included the following 13 variables: age, acute kidney injury, myocardial infarction, anaemia, heart rate ≥ 100 b.p.m., systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg, anion gap (AG) ≥ 20 mEq/L, sodium ≥ 145 mEq/L, red blood cell distribution width (RDW) ≥ 15.5%, white blood cell count ≥ 10 K/μL, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers, and beta‐blocker. The corrected C‐statistic of the nomogram was 0.767, and the calibration curve indicating good concordance between the predicted and observed values. The nomogram demonstrated good accuracy for predicting the in‐hospital mortality with an AUC of 0.771 (95% CI: 0.752–0.790), while the AUC for SAPS II and LODS was 0.747 (95% CI: 0.726–0.767) and 0.752 (95% CI: 0.730–0.773), respectively. DCA found that when the threshold probability was 0.05 to 0.41, the nomogram model could provide a greater net benefit than SAPS II. Conclusions In this retrospective cohort analysis of patients with CHF and CKD, we identified 13 independent variables associated with in‐hospital mortality using LASSO logistic regression. RDW, AG, and CRRT were reported to play a significant role in in‐hospital mortality among patients with CHF and CKD for the first time. Based on a simplified model including 13 variables, a nomogram was drawn to predict the risk of in‐hospital mortality. In comparison with SAPS II and LODS, the nomogram model performed well.

    Abstract: Chemical reactions involving quantum mechanical tunneling (QMT) increasingly attract the attention of scientists. In contrast to the hydrogen‐tunneling as frequently observed in chemistry and biology, tunneling solely by heavy atoms is rare. Herein, we report heavy‐atom tunneling in trifluoroacetyl nitrene, CF 3 C(O)N. The carbonyl nitrene CF 3 C(O)N in the triplet ground state was generated in cryogenic matrices by laser (193 or 266 nm) photolysis of CF 3 C(O)N 3 and characterized by IR and EPR spectroscopy. In contrast to the theoretically predicted activation barriers ( 〉 10 kcal mol −1 ), CF 3 C(O)N undergoes rapid rearrangement into CF 3 NCO with half‐life times of less than 10 min and unprecedentedly large 14 N/ 15 N kinetic isotope effects (1.18–1.33) in solid Ar, Ne, and N 2 matrices even at 2.8 K. The tunneling disappearance of CF 3 C(O)N becomes much slower in the chemically active toluene and in 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran at 5 K.
