Regio- and stereoselective intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of aromatic alkynols: an access to dihydroisobenzofurans under transition-metal-free conditions
An efficient, transition-metal-free method to synthesize dihydroisobenzofuran derivatives via intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of aromatic alkynols with the promotion of cesium carbonate has been developed. Th...

Association between SNPs and haplotypes in the METTL21C gene and peak bone mineral density and body composition in Chinese male nuclear families
The methyltransferase-like 21C gene (METTL21C), which is mainly expressed in muscle, can promote the differentiation of myoblasts to myotubes and reduce glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of osteocytes. The purpose...

Open AccessGenetically Low Vitamin D Levels, Bone Mineral Density, and Bone Metabolism Markers: a Mendelian Randomisation Study
Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) is associated with osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture, but it remains uncertain whether these associations are causal. We conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) stud...

BMP7 gene polymorphisms are not associated with bone mineral density or osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal Chinese women
A previous study shows that bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) gene polymorphisms are associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in 920 European Americans. To determine the association of BMP7 polymorphisms a...

First-principle studies of the electronic structure and reflectivity of LaTiO3 and Sr doped LaTiO3 (La1-xSrxTiO3)
The electronic structures and optical properties of pure and Sr doped LaTiO3 were studied using the first-principle density functional theory (DFT). The results show that the Fermi surface of LaTiO3 lies in its c...
