Linear aerobic training periodisation (LP) is recommended in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the effects of training periodisation on right heart mechanics in CHD patients have never been examined. This study aimed to explore the effects of LP and non-linear periodisation (NLP) on right heart mechanics.

We prospectively randomised CHD patients to 12 weeks aerobic training with LP or NLP. Whereas there was a weekly increase in energy expenditure with LP, there was a steeper increase during the first 3 weeks followed by a decrease the fourth week with NLP. Echocardiography at baseline and after the training period was performed to assess right ventricular free wall (RVFW) and right atrial strain.

Thirty CHD patients were included (NLP, n=16; LP, n=14). Traditional right and left heart parameters showed no significant time effect. There was a decrease of RVFW strain with time in both groups (+1.3±0.9% with NLP, and +1.5±0.8% with LP; p=0.033). Mid-ventricular RVFW strain changed signifs result in right ventricular strain decrements with time, particularly in the mid-ventricular segment • Traditional right and left heart parameters, and right atrial strain showed no significant time effect in both 12 weeks aerobic training periodisation programs.The food security crisis and disproportionately high burden of dietary related disease amongst northern Indigenous populations in Canada continues to be a troubling reality with little sign of improvement. The Government of Canada is responding by developing programs to support local food initiatives for northern isolated communities. While such investments appear commendable, the impact of local food harvesting to improve food security has yet to be determined. While there are clear nutritional and cultural benefits to traditional food sources, communities face considerable barriers acquiring it in sufficient amounts because of historically imposed lifestyle changes that have increased food insecurity rates. This study responds by providing a novel multidisciplinary approach that draws from firsthand experiences working with First Nations community members in a remote subarctic region in northwestern, Ontario to estimate their community's total food requirement and the amount of wild animal food sources needed to sustain yearly food intake. This transferrable energy demand approach will be critical for policy makers to put into perspective the amount of wild food needed to have an impact on food security rates and ultimately improve dietary related diseases. Novelty • It will provide government policy makers information about current harvest yields in a remote northern First Nation to understand the potential contribution of traditional food to improve local food security • Provides Indigenous communities a means to assess local food resources to measure the caloric contributions of traditional foods toward household food security.A cryptand derivative, H6L, which has three H2saloph arms connected by two benzene ring bridgeheads, was synthesized and converted into the trinuclear metallocryptand, LNi3. The nonmetalated host, H6L, was found to bind to alkali metal ions (Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+; logKa = 3.37-6.67) in its well-defined cavity in DMSO/chloroform (19). The binding affinity was enhanced by 1-2 orders of magnitude upon the conversion into the metallocryptand, LNi3, which can be explained by the more polarized phenoxo groups in the [Ni(saloph)] arms. The guest binding affinity of Na+ less then K+ less then Rb+ ≈ Cs+ was clearly demonstrated by the 1H NMR competition experiments. NX-2127 The DFT calculations suggested that the Rb+ ion most suitably fit into the benzene-benzene spacing with a cation-π interaction and that only the largest Cs+ ion can almost equally interact with all six phenoxo oxygen donor atoms. The metallocryptand, LNi3, also showed a strong binding affinity to Ag+ by taking advantage of cation-π interactions, which was confirmed by spectroscopic titrations and crystallographic analysis as well as DFT calculations. Thus, the well-defined three-dimensional cavity of LNi3 was found to be suitable for strong binding with alkali metal ions as well as Ag+.Estimating the binding energies of small molecules to RNA could help uncover their molecular recognition characteristics and be used to rationally design RNA-targeting chemical probes. Here, we leveraged the ability of the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method to provide detailed pairwise energetic information to examine the interactions between the aptamer domain of the flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-responsive riboswitch and small-molecule ligands. After developing an efficient protocol for executing high-level FMO calculations on RNA-ligand complexes, we applied our protocol to nine FMN-aptamer-ligand complexes. We then used the results to identify "hot-spots" within the aptamer and decomposed pairwise interactions between the hot-spot residues and the ligands. Interestingly, we found that several of these hot-spot residues interact with the ligands via atypical CH···O hydrogen bonds and anion-π contacts, as well as (face-to-edge) T-shaped π-π interactions. We envision that our results should pave the way for the wider and more prominent use of FMO calculations to study structure-energy relationships in diverse RNA-ligand systems, which in turn may provide a basis for dissecting the molecular recognition characteristics of RNAs.Accurately monitoring mercury ions (Hg2+) in food and agriculture-related matrixes (e.g., green tea) is of great significance to safeguard food safety. Here, we employed upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to engineer a cysteine (Cys)-assisted anti-Stokes luminescence sensing platform (UCNPs-AuNPs) for precisely detecting residual Hg2+ in green tea through the competition effect. Initially, AuNPs could effectively quench the luminescence of UCNPs through the luminescence resonance energy transfer process, which was then interrupted by Cys-triggered AuNP aggregation via Au-S, thereby restoring UCNP luminescence. Interestingly, owing to the competition effect with AuNPs toward Cys, Hg2+ could weaken the luminescence restoring efficiency, achieving a Hg2+ concentration-dependent luminescence change. On this basis, a facile, reliable, and sensitive upconversion luminescence sensing platform for monitoring residual Hg2+ in green tea was successfully established. This study offers a novel insight into integrating the competition effect and anti-Stokes luminescence for food- and agriculture-related contaminant monitoring.π-Allyl complexes play a prominent role in organometallic chemistry and have attracted considerable attention, in particular the π-allyl Pd(II) complexes which are key intermediates in the Tsuji-Trost allylic substitution reaction. Despite the huge interest in π-complexes of gold, π-allyl Au(III) complexes were only authenticated very recently. Herein, we report the reactivity of (P,C)-cyclometalated Au(III) π-allyl complexes toward β-diketo enolates. Behind an apparently trivial outcome, i.e. the formation of the corresponding allylation products, meticulous NMR studies combined with DFT calculations revealed a complex and rich mechanistic picture. Nucleophilic attack can occur at the central and terminal positions of the π-allyl as well as the metal itself. All paths are observed and are actually competitive, whereas addition to the terminal positions largely prevails for Pd(II). Auracyclobutanes and π-alkene Au(I) complexes were authenticated spectroscopically and crystallographically, and Au(III) σ-allyl complexes were unambiguously characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Nucleophilic additions to the central position of the π-allyl and to gold are reversible. Over time, the auracyclobutanes and the Au(III) σ-allyl complexes evolve into the π-alkene Au(I) complexes and release the C-allylation products. The relevance of auracyclobutanes in gold-mediated cyclopropanation was demonstrated by inducing C-C coupling with iodine. The molecular orbitals of the π-allyl Au(III) complexes were analyzed in-depth, and the reaction profiles for the addition of β-diketo enolates were thoroughly studied by DFT. Special attention was devoted to the regioselectivity of the nucleophilic attack, but C-C coupling to give the allylation products was also considered to give a complete picture of the reaction progress.Nanoscale device fabrication requires control over film growth at the atomic scale. Growth conditions must be tuned in consideration of interface parameters like chemical bonding, surface free energy, and lattice matching. In metals, electronic properties may also be utilized for control of physical parameters. Quantum size effects can induce metals to spontaneously form specific shapes and sizes according to their electronic structure. Unfortunately, such electronic growth is generally known only for a few systems and is typically only stable under cryogenic conditions. In this work, we explore a recently discovered class of electronic growth systems in which metal films are grown upon the relatively inert surfaces of van der Waals crystals. In this class of materials, the electronic growth is highly stable at room temperature and actually requires higher temperature annealing to achieve proper equilibrium. We work with the Au/MoS2 system, which shows excellent stability and can readily form discrete and atomically flat nanostructures. Here, we show how the electronic growth modes facilitate the formation of atomically flat films with nanometer scale thickness. The surface roughness of these films was found to be less than a single atom over several square microns, creating nearly perfect surfaces for studies of self-assembled monolayers or other applications.We have recently reported a series of ladder-type cyclobutane mechanophores, polymers of which can transform from nonconjugated structures to conjugated structures and change many properties at once. These multicyclic mechanophores, namely, exo-ladderane/ene, endo-benzoladderene, and exo-bicyclohexene-peri-naphthalene, have different ring structures fused to the first cyclobutane, significantly different free energy changes for ring-opening, and different stereochemistry. To better understand their mechanochemistry, we used single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) to characterize their force-extension behavior and measure the threshold forces. The threshold forces correlate with the activation energy of the first bond, but not with the strain of the fused rings distal to the polymer main chain, suggesting that the activation of these ladder-type mechanophores occurs with similar early transition states, which is supported by force-modified potential energy surface calculations. We further determined the stereochemistry of the mechanically generated dienes and observed significant and variable contour length elongation for these mechanophores both experimentally and computationally.
