AbstractINTRODUCTIONThe contribution of neuropsychological assessments to risk assessment for incident dementia is underappreciated.METHODSWe analyzed neuropsychological testing results in dementia‐free participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. We examined associations of index domain–specific neuropsychological test performance with incident dementia using cumulative incidence curves and Cox proportional hazards models.RESULTSAmong 5296 initially dementia‐free participants (mean [standard deviation] age of 75.8 [5.1] years; 60.1% women, 22.2% Black) over a median follow‐up of 7.9 years, the covariate‐adjusted hazard ratio varied substantially depending on the pattern of domain‐specific performance and age, in an orderly manner from single domain language abnormalities (lowest risk) to single domain executive or memory abnormalities, to multidomain abnormalities including memory (highest risk).DISCUSSIONBy identifying normatively defined cognitive abnormalities by domains based on neuropsychological test performance, there is a conceptually orderly and age‐sensitive spectrum of risk for incident dementia that provides valuable information about the likelihood of progression.HighlightsDomain‐specific cognitive profiles carry enhanced prognostic value compared to mild cognitive impairment.Single‐domain non‐amnestic cognitive abnormalities have the most favorable prognosis.Multidomain amnestic abnormalities have the greatest risk for incident dementia.Patterns of domain‐specific risks are similar by sex and race.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONThe entorhinal cortex (EC) and perirhinal cortex (PC) are vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease. A triggering factor may be the interaction of vascular dysfunction and tau pathology.METHODSWe imaged post mortem human tissue at 100 μm3 with 7 T magnetic resonance imaging and manually labeled individual blood vessels (mean = 270 slices/case). Vessel density was quantified and compared per EC subfield, between EC and PC, and in relation to tau and TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43) semiquantitative scores.RESULTSPC was more vascularized than EC and vessel densities were higher in posterior EC subfields. Tau and TDP‐43 strongly correlated with vasculature density and subregions with severe tau at the preclinical stage had significantly greater vessel density than those with low tau burden.DISCUSSIONThese data impact cerebrovascular maps, quantification of subfield vasculature, and correlation of vasculature and pathology at early stages. The ordered association of vessel density, and tau or TDP‐43 pathology, may be exploited in a predictive context.Highlights
Vessel density correlates with phosphorylated tau (p‐tau) burden in entorhinal and perirhinal cortices.
Perirhinal area 35 and posterior entorhinal cortex showed greatest p‐tau burden but also the highest vessel density in the preclinical phase of Alzheimer's disease.
We combined an ex vivo magnetic resonance imaging model and histopathology to demonstrate the 3D reconstruction of intracortical vessels and its spatial relationship to the pathology.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to explore the pathogenesis of CLCN6‐related disease and to assess whether its Cl−/H+‐exchange activity is crucial for the biological role of ClC‐6.MethodsWe performed whole‐exome sequencing on a girl with development delay, intractable epilepsy, behavioral abnormities, retinal dysfunction, progressive brain atrophy, suggestive of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). We generated and analyzed the first knock‐in mouse model of a patient variant (p.E200A) and compared it with a Clcn6−/− mouse model. Additional functional tests were performed with heterologous expression of mutant ClC‐6.ResultsWe identified a de novo heterozygous p.E200A variant in the proband. Expression of disease‐causing ClC‐6E200A or ClC‐6Y553C mutants blocked autophagic flux and activated transcription factors EB (TFEB) and E3 (TFE3), leading to autophagic vesicle and cholesterol accumulation. Such alterations were absent with a transport‐deficient ClC‐6E267A mutant. Clcn6E200A/+ mice developed severe neurodegeneration with typical features of NCLs. Mutant ClC‐6E200A, but not loss of ClC‐6 in Clcn6−/− mice, increased lysosomal biogenesis by suppressing mTORC1‐TFEB signaling, blocked autophagic flux through impairing lysosomal function, and increased apoptosis. Carbohydrate and lipid deposits accumulated in Clcn6E200A/+ brain, while only lipid storage was found in Clcn6−/− brain. Lysosome dysfunction, autophagy defects, and gliosis were early pathogenic events preceding neuron loss.InterpretationCLCN6 is a novel genetic cause of NCLs, highlighting the importance of considering CLCN6 mutations in the diagnostic workup for molecularly undefined forms of NCLs. Uncoupling of Cl− transport from H+ countertransport in the E200A mutant has a dominant effect on the autophagic/lysosomal pathway. ANN NEUROL 2024;96:608–624

Published: June 2024

AbstractEnhancing the energy density of layered oxide cathode materials is of great significance for realizing high‐performance sodium‐ion batteries and promoting their commercial application. Lattice oxygen redox at high voltage usually enables a high capacity and energy density. But the structural degradation, severe voltage decay, and the resultant poor cycling performance caused by irreversible oxygen release seriously restrict the practical application. Herein we introduce a novel fence‐type superstructure (2a×3a type supercell) into O3‐type layered cathode material Na0.9Li0.1Ni0.3Mn0.3Ti0.3O2 and achieve a stable cycling performance at a high voltage of 4.4 V. The fence‐type superstructure effectively inhibits the formation of the vacancy clusters resulting from out‐of‐plane Li migration and in‐plane transition metal migration at high voltage due to the wide d‐spacing, thereby significantly reducing the irreversible release of lattice oxygen and greatly stabilizing the crystal structure. The cathode exhibits a high energy density of 545 Wh kg−1, a high rate capability (112.8 mAh g−1 at 5 C) and a high cycling stability (85.8 %@200 cycles with a high initial capacity of 148.6 mAh g−1 at 1 C) accompanied by negligible voltage attenuation (98.5 %@200 cycles). This strategy provides a distinct spacing effect of superstructure to design stable high‐voltage layered cathode materials for Na‐ion batteries.

AbstractGiven her unrivalled proficiency in the synthesis of all molecules of life, nature has been an endless source of inspiration for developing new strategies in organic chemistry and catalysis. However, one feature that remains thus far beyond chemists’ grasp is her unique ability to adapt the productivity of metabolic processes in response to triggers that indicate the temporary need for specific metabolites. To demonstrate the remarkable potential of such stimuli‐responsive systems, we present a metabolism‐inspired network of multicatalytic processes capable of selectively synthesising a range of products from simple starting materials. Specifically, the network is built of four classes of distinct catalytic reactions—cross‐couplings, substitutions, additions, and reductions, involving three organic starting materials—terminal alkyne, aryl iodide, and hydrosilane. All starting materials are either introduced sequentially or added to the system at the same time, with no continuous influx of reagents or efflux of products. All processes in the system are catalysed by a multifunctional heteronuclear PdII/PtII complex, whose performance can be controlled by specific additives and external stimuli. The reaction network exhibits a substantial degree of orthogonality between different pathways, enabling the controllable synthesis of ten distinct products with high efficiency and selectivity through simultaneous triggering and suppression mechanisms.

AbstractIn this work, six benzothioxanthene‐based oxime esters were employed as photoinitiators for photopolymerization under visible light (LED) and sunlight. Their abilities to behave as Type I photoinitiators by mean of a photocleavage mechanism of oxime esters but also in multicomponent photoinitiating systems with an iodonium salt (through an electron transfer mechanism) were both explored with the different structures. Due to their broad absorption spectra tailing up 600 nm, photoinitiating properties of the benzothioxanthene‐based oxime esters were systematically tested under excitation with low‐intensity LED light at wavelengths of 405 nm and 450 nm. Additionally, parallel to the polymerization tests done under artificial light, the different benzothioxanthene‐based oxime esters were also investigated as solar photoinitiators and displayed a high reactivity in France (Western Europe) even in winter conditions. For the best candidates i.e. the most reactive structures, direct laser write experiments were carried out, evidencing the interest of these structures.

AbstractAlthough Ru‐based materials are among the outstanding catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the instability issue still haunts them and impedes the widespread application. The instability of Ru‐based OER catalysts is generally ascribed to the formation of soluble species through the over‐oxidation of Ru and structural decomposition caused by involvement of lattice oxygen. Herein, an effective strategy of selectively activating the lattice oxygen around Ru site is proposed to improve the OER activity and stability. Our synthesized spinel‐type electrocatalyst of Ru and Zn co‐doped Co3O4 showed an ultralow overpotential of 172 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a long‐term stability reaching to 100 hours at 10 mA cm−2 for alkaline OER. The experimental results and theoretical simulations demonstrated that the lattice oxygen site jointly connected with the octahedral Ru and tetrahedral Zn atoms became more active than other oxygen sites near Ru atom, which further lowered the reaction energy barriers and avoided generating excessive oxygen vacancies to enhance the structural stability of Ru sites. The findings hope to provide a new perspective to improve the catalytic activity of Ru‐incorporated OER catalysts and the stability of lattice‐oxygen‐mediated mechanism.

AbstractRenal clearable nanoparticles have been drawing much attention as they can avoid prolonged accumulation in the body by efficiently clearing through the kidneys. While much effort has been made to understand their interactions within the kidneys, it remains unclear whether their transport could be influenced by other organs, such as the liver, which plays a crucial role in metabolizing and eliminating both endogenous and exogenous substances through various biotransformation processes. Here, by utilizing renal clearable IRDye800CW conjugated gold nanocluster (800CW4‐GS18‐Au25) as a model, we found that although 800CW4‐GS18‐Au25 strongly resisted serum‐protein binding and exhibited minimal accumulation in the liver, its surface was still gradually modified by hepatic glutathione‐mediated biotransformation when passing through the liver, resulting in the dissociation of IRDye800CW from Au25 and biotransformation‐generated fingerprint message of 800CW4‐GS18‐Au25 in urine, which allowed us to facilely quantify its urinary biotransformation index (UBI) via urine chromatography analysis. Moreover, we observed the linear correlation between UBI and hepatic glutathione concentration, offering us a noninvasive method for quantitative detection of liver glutathione level through a simple urine test. Our discoveries would broaden the fundamental understanding of in vivo transport of nanoparticles and advance the development of urinary probes for noninvasive biodetection.

AbstractOrganic‐chemical literature encompasses large numbers of catalysts and reactions they can effect. Many of these examples are published merely to document the catalysts’ scope but do not necessarily guarantee that a given catalyst is “optimal”—in terms of yield or enantiomeric excess—for a particular reaction. This paper describes a Machine Learning model that aims to improve such catalyst‐reaction assignments based on the carefully curated literature data. As we show here for the case of asymmetric magnesium catalysis, this model achieves relatively high accuracy and offers out of‐the‐box predictions successfully validated by experiment, e.g., in synthetically demanding asymmetric reductions or Michael additions.

AbstractAlthough carbanions, which are usually regarded as reactive species and powerful metalation reagents, can be stabilized through choice of the substitution pattern, they have rarely been considered for the design of weakly coordinating anions (WCA). Here, we report on an evaluation of the potential of a series of differently substituted carbanions to serve as WCA by computational methods. This led us to the synthesis of the water‐ and air‐stable allyl anion 1 with triflyl and 3,5‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl (ArF) moieties, which can be isolated in high yields even on a gram‐scale. Single crystal X‐ray crystallography and NMR studies confirmed the weak coordination ability of the anion by showing negligible or only weak interactions with different cations. This property enabled the application of 1 in the stabilization of reactive group 14 and 15 cations. In addition to the crystallization of a phosphenium cation, the first all‐carbon salt with a non‐aromatic carbanion is reported, which revealed to be a convenient reagent for hydride abstraction such as from silanes. Overall, this work demonstrates the so far untapped potential of carbanions as WCA, that are accessible with a variety of different cations for various applications.

AbstractCeO2‐supported noble metal clusters are attractive catalytic materials for several applications. However, their atomic dispersion under oxidizing reaction conditions often leads to catalyst deactivation. In this study, the noble metal cluster formation threshold is rationally adjusted by using a mixed CeO2‐Al2O3 support. The preferential location of Pd on CeO2 islands leads to a high local surface noble metal concentration and promotes the in situ formation of small Pd clusters at a rather low noble metal loading (0.5 wt %), which are shown to be the active species for CO conversion at low temperatures. As elucidated by complementary in situ/operando techniques, the spatial separation of CeO2 islands on Al2O3 confines the mobility of Pd, preventing the full redispersion or the formation of larger noble metal particles and maintaining a high CO oxidation activity at low temperatures. In a broader perspective, this approach to more efficiently use the noble metal can be transferred to further systems and reactions in heterogeneous catalysis.

AbstractBlending modification is used to improve the hemocompatibility of cellulose acetate (CA) dialysis membranes while endowing the CA membrane with endotoxin scavenging and antibacterial capabilities. First, polydopamine (PDA) and polyethylenimine (PEI) are used as negatively charged and positively charged moieties, respectively, together with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to construct mixed charge CNCs (PEI‐PDA@CNCs). Then PEI‐PDA@CNCs is blended with the CA casting solution, and the modified CA dialysis membrane is prepared through a phase inversion process. Through biocompatibility, adsorption, antibacterial, and filtration experiments, various properties of PEI‐PDA@CNCs modified CA membrane (PDCA) are systematically tested. The results show that the PDCA membrane exhibited good blood compatibility and noncytotoxicity. At the same time, the PDCA membrane has antibacterial properties and excellent endotoxin adsorption capacity. Compared with the CA membrane, the clearance rates of PDCA membrane for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli reach 54.0% ± 1.5% and 52.9% ± 5.9% respectively. In the dynamic adsorption experiment, the adsorption capacity of PDCA membrane for endotoxin increases to 2322.1 ± 45.9 EU/g. The research results indicate that PEI‐PDA@CNC‐modified multifunctional CA membrane with endotoxin adsorption and antibacterial properties has potential application prospects in the fields of hemodialysis and blood purification.

AbstractThe low toughness and high softening temperature of bismaleimide (BMI) resin limit its application in the field of electronic packaging. Herein, a series of flexible BMI resins with maleic anhydride terminated were synthesized via the imide reaction between dianhydrides and bio‐based 8,8′‐(4‐hexyl‐6‐octylcyclohexane‐1,3‐diyl)bis(octane‐1‐amine) (HOBOA). The degree of polymerization of these BMI resins was controlled to 1, 3, and 5 by adjusting the molar ratio of dianhydrides to HOBOA. These BMI resins show a low softening temperature below 100°C. These BMI resins were cured by the thermal procedure as follows: 145°C/2 h, 185°C/2 h, 225°C/2 h, and 275°C/2 h. The thermal decomposition temperature of cured resins is above 395°C. The tensile testing results demonstrated that cured resins exhibit a high elongation at break of around 60%. The dielectric constant of the cured resins is between 2.72 and 3.09 at room temperature. The water absorption rate of cured resins is less than 0.7% after being soaked in water for 30 days. After the cured resins were soaked separately in acid and alkali, the tensile strength retention rate reaches more than 90%. Additionally, the lap shear strength of cured resins coated on 7075 aluminum alloy exceeds 7.0 MPa.

AbstractPremiseCompetition from naturalized species and habitat loss are common threats to native biodiversity and may act synergistically to increase competition for decreasing habitat availability. We use Hawaiian dryland ferns as a model for the interactions between land‐use change and competition from naturalized species in determining habitat availability.MethodsWe used fine‐resolution climatic variables and carefully curated occurrence data from herbaria and community science repositories to estimate the distributions of Hawaiian dryland ferns. We quantified the degree to which naturalized ferns tend to occupy areas suitable for native species and mapped the remaining available habitat given land‐use change.ResultsOf all native species, Doryopteris angelica had the lowest percentage of occurrences of naturalized species in its suitable area while D. decora had the highest. However, all Doryopteris spp. had a higher percentage overlap, while Pellaea ternifolia had a lower percentage overlap, than expected by chance. Doryopteris decora and D. decipiens had the lowest proportions (<20%) of suitable area covering native habitat.DiscussionAreas characterized by shared environmental preferences of native and naturalized ferns may decrease due to human development and fallowed agricultural lands. Our study demonstrates the value of place‐based application of a recently developed correlative ecological niche modeling approach for conservation risk assessment in a rapidly changing and urbanized island ecosystem.
