Association between vitamin D serum levels and insulin resistance assessed by HOMA-IR among non-diabetic adults in the United States: Results from NHANES 2007–2014 by Xin Yin, Xin Yin, Jia-Yu Chen, Xiang-Jie Huang, Jia-Hong Lai, Chang Huang, Wang Yao, Nan-Xi Li, Wei-Chao Huang, Xu-Guang Guo, Xu-Guang Guo, Xu-Guang Guo, Xu-Guang Guo, Xu-Guang Guo

“…Linear regression models were performed to evaluate the association between serum 25(OH)D concentration and HOMA-IR, and a negative association was observed, which remained significant following the adjustment for age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, the season of examination, current smoking, hypertension, the use of drugs which can influence insulin resistance, serum bicarbonates, triglycerides, and calcium and phosphorus levels. Only in non-Hispanic Blacks was this inverse association between vitamin D and HOMA-IR not observed in the fully adjusted model. …”

Divergent Response of the Supply Capacity and Turnover of Inorganic Nitrogen to Pitaya Cultivation in the Subtropical Karst Region of Southwest China by Lin Yang, Xuebin Zhang, Jinxia Liu, Dongni Wen, Lei Meng, Tongbin Zhu

“…The conversion of woodland to pitaya plantations significantly decreased the content of soil organic carbon (SOC), total N, calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg), along with the soil pH and cation-exchange capacity (CEC), but significantly increased the content of available potassium, available phosphorus, iron, and aluminum, in a more pronounced fashion with the increasing length of pitaya cultivation. …”

Atomic metal–non-metal catalytic pair drives efficient hydrogen oxidation catalysis in fuel cells by Wang, Qilun, Wang, Huawei, Cao, Hao, Tung, Ching-Wei, Liu, Wei, Hung, Sung-Fu, Wang, Weijue, Zhu, Chun, Zhang, Zihou, Cai, Weizheng, Cheng, Yaqi, Tao, Hua Bing, Chen, Hao Ming, Wang, Yang-Gang, Li, Yujing, Yang, Hongbin, Huang, Yanqiang, Li, Jun, Liu, Bin

“…Here we report atomically dispersed iridium–phosphorus (Ir–P) catalytic pairs with strong electronic coupling that integratively facilitate HOR kinetics, in which the reactive hydroxyl species adsorbed on the more oxophilic P site induces an alternative thermodynamic pathway to facilely combine with H* on the adjacent Ir atom, whereas isolated single-atom Ir catalysts are inactive. …”
