In recent years, researchers have devoted considerable effort to the study of high crystalline titanium‐oxo clusters (TOCs), because TOCs are considered to be the molecular analogs of TiO2 nanoparticles and have the potential to be utilized as effective cleaning and catalytic materials. Two new tartrate‐anchored tetranuclear TOCs functionalized with chromophore ligand of p‐nitrobenzoate (NB)/p‐toluenesulfonate (TS), namely, [Ti4(TA)(NB)2(OiPr)10] (1, H4TA = tartaric acid) and [Ti4(TA)(TS)2(OiPr)10] (2), were synthesized and their structures were characterized by various methods. The molecular structure analyses indicated that 1 and 2 are all tetranuclear {Ti4} TOCs, in which tartrate appears as a hexadentate μ4‐bridging ligand while p‐nitrobenzoate/p‐toluenesulfonate acts as a bidentate μ2‐bridging ligand. TOCs 1 and 2 are of good thermal and solvent stability. Furthermore, their photocurrent responses and photocatalytic degradation activities towards methylene blue (MB) were also investigated. In the presence of H2O2, the photocatalytic degradation efficiencies of MB by 1 and 2 are about 84.43% and 71.00%, respectively, at room temperature under visible light irradiation for 60 min. These findings shed light on designing efficient polycarboxylate‐based TOCs photocatalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion refers to a blockage in the blood flow of one of the major blood vessels in the anterior (front) part of the brain. Acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion can lead to a range of symptoms, including sudden headache, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, weakness or numbness on one side of the body and loss of vision in one eye. According to relevant data, mechanical thrombectomy in the treatment of the large vessel recanalization rate can reach 70%. However, hemorrhage is one of the serious complications after mechanical thrombectomy, and it is the main factor leading to the deterioration of neurological function and death of patients after large blood vessels. Therefore, the risk factors of bleeding in patients were analyzed before surgery, and effective prevention during and after surgery had positive significance for patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy. This study uses regression analysis to analyze the correlation between bleeding factors and FPE and NLR after mechanical thrombectomy for acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion. We retrospectively analyzed 81 patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion who underwent mechanical embolization in our hospital from September 2019 to January 2022 and separated them into a bleeding group (46 patients) and a non-bleeding group (35 patients) based on the presence or absence of bleeding after surgery.
