In-hospital prescriptions of secondary-prevention medications for post-acute coronary syndrome patients in South Korea

Abstract

In Korea, there is room for improvement in the prescription rates of secondary-prevention medications in post-ACS patients, particularly for β-blockers and ACEIs/ARBs. .

Bacteria‐Assisted Selective Photothermal Therapy for Precise Tumor Inhibition

“…Supramolecular complex CPPDI was prepared by the host–guest complexation between a PDI derivative (PPDI) and cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) according to the literature report (Figure S1, Supporting Information) . CB[7] was introduced to prevent the membranolysis of bacteria triggered by PPDI and avoid the quenching of PDI RAs.…”

“…Afterward, the in vitro photothermal conversion effect of CPPDI + E. coli solutions after incubated in hypoxia and normoxia was evaluated. CRAs were reported to present good photothermal conversion ability due to the molecular vibrations under NIR laser irradiation . In this study, CPPDI with different concentrations (0, 10, 15, and 30 × 10 −6 m ) were incubated with E. coli (10 8 CFU) for 12 h in hypoxia or normoxia.…”

“…Owing to the presence of electron‐withdrawing imide fragments, PDIs could be easily reduced to delocalized radical anions (RAs) with a typical redshift absorption toward the NIR region, which can act as effective PTAs for PTT . Recently, CPPDI, a supramolecular complex based on PDI derivative was reported to be reduced by E. coli to produce CPPDI RAs (CRAs) for bacteria balance regulation via PTT . In view of the good potential of E. coli for specific tumor targeting and the favorable photothermal conversion ability of CRAs, utilizing E. coli to trigger CPPDI to CRAs in tumor might be a feasible way for precise tumor thermal ablation.…”

Enzyme–Metal Hybrid Catalysts for Chemoenzymatic Reactions

“…Because the MNPs were formed in the interstitial spaces of multiple enzyme molecules, the precipitated nanohybrids were composed of MNPs dispersed on enzyme aggregates with mesoporous amorphous suprastructure (Figure d). Another example was reported by Cheng and co‐workers, in which ultrasmall platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) were synthesized in the interior of enzymes such as glucoamylase (GA), glucose oxidase (GOD), catalase (CAT), and proteinase K (ProK). To fabricate enzyme‐Pt NP conjugate (GA‐Pt, GOD‐Pt, CAT‐Pt, or ProK‐Pt), the enzyme (GA (0.1 mg), GOD (0.1 mg), CAT (0.1 mg), and ProK (0.01 mg)) was complexed with chloroplatinic acid (0.5 mL, 38.6 × 10 −3 m ) and followed by in situ reduction of Pt using sodium borohybride (NaBH 4, 0.25 mL, 0.5 m ) in 10 mL phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS, pH = 7.5), respectively.…”

High Areal Capacity Na0.67CoO2 Bundle Array Cathode Tailored for High‐Performance Sodium‐Ion Batteries

“…Accordingly, layered Na x CoO 2 has been extensively investigated due to their relatively prominent cyclic stability in repeated charge‐discharge stages ,. Up to now, however, the investigations centered on layered Na x CoO 2 mainly fall on modulating the electrochemical performance via doping methodology, few reports concerned on constructing Na x CoO 2 with ordered architecture for SIBs. In practice, the hurdles restricting the electrochemical performance of Na x CoO 2 are mainly assignable to the complicated phase transitions during sodiation/desodiation, caused by lager Na + ions in conjunction with charge ordering and Na + /vacancy‐ordering .…”
