Abstract
TiO2 nanostructures were prepared by hydrothermal corrosion of Ti sheets for various heating temperatures and times. Their change from thick and short nanorods to thin and long nanowires by increasing these processing parameters led to improved photocatalytic properties.

Abstract
Besides its theoretical interest, the attention currently aroused by proton-coupled electron transfers (PCET reactions) has two main motives. One is a better understanding of biological processes in which PCET reactions are involved, Photosystem II as well as a myriad of other natural systems. The other is directed toward synthetic processes, many of which are related to global energy challenges. Until recently, the analyses of the mechanism and reactivity of PCET reactions have focused on outersphere transfers, those in which no bond between heavy atoms (all atoms with the exception of H) is concomitantly formed or broken. Conversely, reactions in which electron transfer triggers the breaking of a heavy-atom bond with no proton transfer have been extensively analyzed, both theoretically and experimentally. In both cases, strategies have been developed to distinguish between stepwise and concerted pathways. In each case, kinetic models have been devised, allowing the relation between activation and thermodynamic driving force to be established by means of parameters pertaining to the initial and final state. Although many natural and artificial processes include electron transfer, proton transfer, and heavy-atom bond breaking (/formation), no means were offered until recently to analyze the mechanism of such reactions, notably to establish the degree of concertedness of the three constitutive events. Likewise, no kinetic models were available to describe reactions where the three events are concerted. In this Account, we discuss the strategies to distinguish stepwise, partially concerted (when two of the three events are concerted), and totally concerted pathways in these reactions that include electron transfer, proton transfer, and heavy-atom bond breaking. These mechanism analysis methods are illustrated and validated by three examples. First we describe the electrochemical cleavage of an O-O bond in an aliphatic peroxide molecule with a pendant carboxylic acid group that can serve as proton donor for electron transfer and bond breaking. In the second example, we examine the breaking of one of the C-O bonds of CO2 within a multistep process where the reduction of CO2 into CO is catalyzed by an electrogenerated iron(0) porphyrin in the presence of various Brönsted acids. In this case, an intramolecular electron transfer triggers proton transfer and bond cleavage. In the first two examples, all three events are concerted. The third example also involves catalysis. It describes the cleavage of a cobalt-carbon bond in the reduction of chloroacetonitrile catalyzed by an electrogenerated cobalt(I) porphyrin. It illustrates the rather common case where the intermediate formed by the reaction of a transition metal complex with the substrate has to be cleaved to close the catalytic cycle. In the first two examples, all three events are concerted, whereas, in the last case, a partially concerted pathway takes place: proton transfer and bond-breaking (Co-C cleavage) are concerted after an initial electron transfer step. The all-concerted cases require a model that connects the kinetics to the thermodynamic driving force of the reaction. Starting from previous models of outersphere electron transfer, concerted proton-electron transfer, and concerted dissociative electron transfer, we describe a model for all-concerted proton-electron-bond breaking reactions. These pathways skip the high-energy intermediates that occur in stepwise pathways, but could introduce kinetic penalties. The all-concerted model allows one to assess these penalties and the way in which they can be fought by the supplement of driving force offered by concerted proton transfer.

Abstract
Management of patients with a benign hepatocellular tumor relies largely on imaging data; the diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) must be made with certainty using MRI, because no other clinical or laboratory data can help diagnosis. It is also essential to identify adenomas to manage them appropriately. The radiological report in these situations is therefore of major importance. However, there are diagnostic traps. The aim of this paper is to present the keys to the diagnosis of benign lesions and to warn of the main diagnostic pitfalls.

Abstract
Solar-driven electrochemical transformations of small molecules, such as water splitting and CO2 reduction, pertinent to modern energy challenges, require the assistance of catalysts preferably deposited on conducting or semiconducting surfaces. Understanding mechanisms and identifying the factors that control the functioning of such systems are required for rational catalyst optimization and improved performance. A methodology is proposed, in the framework of rotating disk electrode voltammetry, to analyze the current responses expected in the case of a semigeneral reaction scheme involving a proton-coupled catalytic reaction associated with proton-coupled electron hopping through the film as rate controlling factors in the case where there is no limitation by substrate diffusion. The predictions concern the current density vs overpotential (Tafel) plots and their dependence on buffer concentration (including absence of buffer), film thickness and rotation rate. The Tafel plots may have a variety of slopes (e.g., F/RT ln 10, F/2RT ln 10, 0) that may even coexist within the overpotential range of a single plot. We show that an optimal film thickness exists beyond which the activity of the film plateaus. Application to water oxidation by films of a cobalt-based oxidic catalyst provides a successful test of the applicability of the proposed methodology, which also provides further insight into the mechanism by which these cobalt-based films catalyze the oxidation of water. The exact nature of the kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics that have been derived from the analysis is discussed as well as their use in catalyst benchmarking.

Abstract
Most of the electrocatalytic processes of interest in the resolution of modern energy challenges are associated with proton transfer. In the cases where heavy atom bond cleavage occurs concomitantly, the question arises of the exact nature of its coupling with proton-electron transfer within the catalytic cycle. The cleavage of a C-O bond in the catalyzed electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CO offers the opportunity to address this question. Electrochemically generated iron(0) porphyrins are efficient, specific, and durable catalysts provided they are coupled with Lewis or Brönsted acids. The cocatalyst properties of four Brönsted acids of increasing strength, water, trifluoroethanol, phenol, and acetic acid, have been systematically investigated. Preparative-scale electrolyses showed that carbon monoxide is the only product of the catalytic reaction. Methodic application of a nondestructive technique, cyclic voltammetry, with catalyst and CO2 concentrations, as well as H/D isotope effect, as diagnostic parameters allowed the dissection of the reaction mechanism. It appears that the key step of the reaction sequence consists of an electron transfer from the catalyst concerted with the cleavage of a C-O bond and the transfer of one proton. This is the second example, and an intermolecular version of such a concerted proton-electron bond-breaking reaction after a similar electrochemical process involving the cleavage of O-O bonds has been identified. It is the first time that a proton-electron transfer concerted with bond breaking has been uncovered as the crucial step in a catalytic multistep reaction.

Abstract
A new hepatitis B virus (HBV) protein, hepatitis B splice-generated protein (HBSP), has been detected in liver biopsy specimens from patients with chronic active hepatitis. The aim of this study was to characterize the phenotype and functions of peripheral HBSP-specific T cells and to determine whether these T-cell responses may be implicated in liver damage or viral control. Two groups of patients were studied: HBV-infected patients with chronic active hepatitis and HBV-infected patients who were inactive carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen. HBSP-specific T-cell responses were analysed ex vivo and after in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Soluble cytokines and chemokines were analysed in sera and in cell culture supernatants. Few HBSP- or capsid-specific T-cell responses were detected in patients with chronic active hepatitis whereas frequency of HBV-specific T cells was significantly higher in inactive carrier patients. HBSP activated CD8+ and CD4+ T cells that recognized multiple epitopes and secreted inflammatory cytokines. The IL-12 level was significantly lower in sera from asymptomatic carrier patients compared to patients with chronic active hepatitis. IL-12 and IP-10 levels in the sera were significantly and independently correlated with both alanine amino transferase and HBV DNA levels. Our results show that the HBSP protein activates cellular immune responses in HBV-infected patients but has probably no prominent role in liver damage. The pattern of cytokines and chemokines in sera was linked to HBV viral load and was consistent with the level of inflammation during chronic hepatitis.

Abstract
Electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) to carbon monoxide (CO) is a potentially useful step in the desirable transformation of the greenhouse gas to fuels and commodity chemicals. We have found that modification of iron tetraphenylporphyrin through the introduction of phenolic groups in all ortho and ortho' positions of the phenyl groups considerably speeds up catalysis of this reaction by the electrogenerated iron(0) complex. The catalyst, which uses one of the most earth-abundant metals, manifests a CO faradaic yield above 90% through 50 million turnovers over 4 hours of electrolysis at low overpotential (0.465 volt), with no observed degradation. The basis for the enhanced activity appears to be the high local concentration of protons associated with the phenolic hydroxyl substituents.
