Described herein is an imidazole ring formation strategy for the synthesis of axially chiral N‐arylbenzimidazoles by means of chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. Two sets of conditions were developed ...to transform two classes of 2‐naphthylamine derivatives into structurally diverse N‐arylbenzimidazole atropisomers with excellent chemo‐ and regioselectivity as well as high levels of enantiocontrol. It is worth reflecting on the unique roles played by the nitroso group in this domino reaction. It functions as a linchpin by first offering an electrophilic site (N) for the initial C−N bond formation while the resulting amine performs the nucleophilic addition to form the second C−N bond. Additionally, it could facilitate the final oxidative aromatization as an oxidant. The atropisomeric products could be conveniently elaborated to a series of axially chiral derivatives, enabling the exploitation of N‐arylbenzimidazoles for their potential utilities in asymmetric catalysis.

Functionalization of arenes represents the most efficient approach for constructing a core backbone of important aryl compounds. Compared with the well-developed electrophilic aromatic substitution ...and transition-metal-catalyzed C–H activation, nucleophilic aromatic substitution remains challenging because of the lack of a convenient route for rapid conversion of the σH adduct to other stable and versatile intermediates in situ. Guided by computational design, we were able to realize asymmetric nucleophilic aromatic substitution by introducing a nitroso group on naphthalene via chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. This strategy enables efficient construction of atropisomeric indole-naphthalenes and indole-anilines with excellent stereocontrol. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide further insights into the origins of enantioselectivity and the reaction mechanisms. The successful application in the synthesis of NOBINs (2-amino-2′-hydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl) extends the utility of this strategy.

Highly efficient conversion of inexpensive and readily available arene materials into high-value-added chiral molecules is of great importance in modern synthetic chemistry given the enormous potential of such structures in functional materials, pharmaceuticals, and other relevant chemical industries. Organocatalytic nucleophilic aromatic substitution enabled by an azo group offers an effective approach to enantioselective functionalization of naphthalene C–H bonds featuring an intramolecular oxidation of an unstabilized σH adduct. Premised on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, nitroso has emerged as another promising activating and oxidative group, whose synthetic potential is substantiated in the atroposelective synthesis of several groups of representative biaryl atropisomers processed by a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst. The success of this reaction explicitly exemplifies the ability of computational tools to streamline organic synthesis with intensified robustness in the disclosed strategy.
Guided by computational design, Tan and colleagues disclose a chiral phosphoric-acid-catalyzed asymmetric functionalization of naphthalenes with nitroso as the activating and directing group. This nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction allows divergent access to two types of axially chiral arylindole frameworks with wide substrate generality under excellent enantiocontrol and, more importantly, offers a facile approach to the privileged NOBIN (2-amino-2′-hydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl) structures. DFT calculations illustrate the plausible reaction pathway and provide additional insights into the origins of enantioselectivity.

AIM： To clarify the incidence and nature of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia in patients after modern extracorporeal circulation, to analyze possible perioperative risk factors, and to elucidate the ...clinical significance of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia associated mortality and morbidity. METHODS： Between March 2005 and May 2006, three hundred and eighty six consecutive patients undergoing extracorporeal circulation surgery due to a variety of cardiac lesions were investigated prospectively. The incidence of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia was defined as a serum total bilirubin concentration of more than 51 μmol/L. Several perioperative parameters were compared by logistic regression between hyperbilirubinemia and non-hyperbilirubinemia patients to determine possible risk factors contributing to postoperative hyperbilirubinemia and mortality. RESULTS： Overall incidence of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia was 25.3% （98/386）. In patients with postoperative hyperbilirubinemia, 56.2% reached peak total bilirubin concentration on the first postoperative day, 33.5% on the second day, and 10.3% on the seventh day. Eighty percent of the increase of total bilirubin resulted from an increase of both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin. Development of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia was associated with a higher mortality （P 〈 0.01）, longer duration of mechanical ventilation （P 〈 0.05） and longer ICU stay time （P 〈 0.05）. Preoperative total bilirubin concentration, preoperative right atrium pressure, numbers of valves replaced and of blood transfusion requirement were identified as important predictors for postoperative hyperbUirubinemia. CONCLUSION： Early postoperative hyperbilirubinemia after modern extracorporeal circulation is mainly caused by an increase in both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin, and is associated with a high mortality. Important contributing factors are the preoperative total bilirubin concentration, preoperative severity of right atrial pressure, numbers of valve replacement procedures, and the amount of blood transfusion requirement during and shortly after surgery. We suggest that postoperative hyperbilirubinemia is a multifactorial process, which is caused by,both the impaired liver function of bilirubin transport and the increased production of bilirubin from haemolysis.
The purpose of crowd counting is to accurately predict the number, distribution and density of crowds in real scenes. However, crowd counting often suffers from some problems such as complex ...background, diverse target scales, and cluttered crowd distribution, which strongly affects the precision of counting. To solve these problems, a channel and spatial attention-based encoder-decoder network for crowd counting (CSANet) is proposed. It uses a multi-level encoder-decoder network to extract multi-scale semantic features, and fully integrates spatial context information to solve the problem of pedestrian scale changes and messy distribution in complex scenes. To reduce the impact of complex background on counting performance, channel and spatial attention are introduced in the process of feature fusion to improve the quality of crowd density map by increasing the feature weights of crowd regions to highlight regions of interest, and decreasing the feature weights of weakly correlated background regions to suppr
Accurate segmentation of multiple gliomas from multimodal MRI is a prerequisite for many precision medical procedures. To effectively use the characteristics of glioma MRI and im-prove the ...segmentation accuracy, we proposes a multi-Dice loss function structure and used pre-experiments to select the good hyperparameters (i.e. data dimension, image fusion step, and the implementation of loss function) to construct a 3D full convolution DenseNet-based image feature learning network. This study included 274 segmented training sets of glioma MRI and 110 test sets without segmentation. After grayscale normalization of the image, the 3D image block was extracted as a network input, and the network output used the image block fusion method to obtain the final segmentation result. The proposed structure improved the accuracy of glioma segmentation compared to a general structure. In the on-line assessment of the open BraTS2015 data set, the Dice values for the entire tumor area, tumor core area, and enhanced tumor are
Feed-water valves (FWVs) are used to regulate the flow rate of water entering steam generators, which are very important devices in nuclear power plants. Due to the working environment of relatively ...high pressure and temperature, there is strength failure problem of valve body in some cases. Based on the thermo-fluid-solid coupling model, the valve body stress of the feed-water valve in the opening process is investigated. The flow field characteristics inside the valve and temperature change of the valve body with time are studied. The stress analysis of the valve body is carried out considering mechanical stress and thermal stress comprehensively. The results show that the area with relatively high-velocity area moves gradually from the bottom of the cross section to the top of the cross section with the increase of the opening degree. The whole valve body reaches the same temperature of 250 ℃ at the time of 1894 s. The maximum stress of the valve body meets the design requirements by stress assessment. This work can be referred for the design of FWVs and other similar valves.
