RESUMEN
Chinese diesel trucks are the main contributors to NOx and particulate matter (PM) vehicle emissions. An increase in diesel trucks could aggravate air pollution and damage human health. The Chinese government has recently implemented a series of emission control technologies and measures for air quality improvement. This paper summarizes recent control technologies and measures for diesel truck emissions in China and introduces the comprehensive application of control technologies and measures in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding regions. Remote online monitoring technology has been adopted according to the China VI standard for heavy-duty diesel trucks, and control measures such as transportation structure adjustment and heavy pollution enterprise classification control continue to support the battle action plan for pollution control. Perspectives and suggestions are provided for promoting pollution control and supervision of diesel truck emissions: adhere to the concept of overall management and control, vigorously promote the application of systematic and technological means in emission monitoring, continuously facilitate cargo transportation structure adjustment and promote new energy freight vehicles. This paper aims to accelerate the implementation of control technologies and measures throughout China. China is endeavouring to control diesel truck exhaust pollution. China is willing to cooperate with the world to protect the global ecological environment.

The cGAS-STING-mediated antiviral response plays an important role in the defense against DNA virus infection. Tripartite motif protein 35 (TRIM35), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, was identified as a positive regulator of RLR-mediated antiviral signaling in our previous study, but the effect of TRIM35 on the cGAS-STING signaling pathway has not been elucidated. Herein, we showed that TRIM35 negatively regulates the cGAS-STING signaling pathway by directly targeting STING. TRIM35 overexpression significantly inhibited the cGAMP-triggered phosphorylation of TBK1 and IRF3, attenuating IFN-ß expression and the downstream antiviral response. Mechanistically, TRIM35 colocalized and directly interacted with STING in the cytoplasm. TRM35 removed K63-linked ubiquitin from STING through the C36 and C44 sites in the RING domain, which impaired the interaction of STING with TBK1 or IKKε. In addition, we demonstrated that the RING domain is a key region for the antiviral effects of TIRM35. These results collectively indicate that TRIM35 negatively regulates type I interferon (IFN-I) production by targeting and deubiquitinating STING. TRIM35 may be a potential therapeutic target for controlling viral infection.
RESUMEN
Rapid and accurate diagnostic tests are fundamental for improving patient outcomes and combating infectious diseases. The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) Cas12a-based detection system has emerged as a promising solution for on-site nucleic acid testing. Nonetheless, the effective design of CRISPR RNA (crRNA) for Cas12a-based detection remains challenging and time-consuming. In this study, we propose an enhanced crRNA design system with deep learning for Cas12a-mediated diagnostics, referred to as EasyDesign. This system employs an optimized convolutional neural network (CNN) prediction model, trained on a comprehensive data set comprising 11,496 experimentally validated Cas12a-based detection cases, encompassing a wide spectrum of prevalent pathogens, achieving Spearman's ρ = 0.812. We further assessed the model performance in crRNA design for four pathogens not included in the training data: Monkeypox Virus, Enterovirus 71, Coxsackievirus A16, and Listeria monocytogenes. The results demonstrated superior prediction performance compared to the traditional experiment screening. Furthermore, we have developed an interactive web server (https://crispr.zhejianglab.com/) that integrates EasyDesign with recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) primer design, enhancing user accessibility. Through this web-based platform, we successfully designed optimal Cas12a crRNAs for six human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes. Remarkably, all the top five predicted crRNAs for each HPV subtype exhibited robust fluorescent signals in CRISPR assays, thereby suggesting that the platform could effectively facilitate clinical sample testing. In conclusion, EasyDesign offers a rapid and reliable solution for crRNA design in Cas12a-based detection, which could serve as a valuable tool for clinical diagnostics and research applications.
RESUMEN
Silage is an excellent method of feed preservation; however, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide produced during fermentation are significant sources of agricultural greenhouse gases. Therefore, determining a specific production method is crucial for reducing global warming. The effects of four temperatures (10 °C, 20 °C, 30 °C, and 40 °C) on silage quality, greenhouse gas yield and microbial community composition of forage sorghum were investigated. At 20 °C and 30 °C, the silage has a lower pH value and a higher lactic acid content, resulting in higher silage quality and higher total gas production. In the first five days of ensiling, there was a significant increase in the production of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. After that, the output remained relatively stable, and their production at 20 °C and 30 °C was significantly higher than that at 10 °C and 40 °C. Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the predominant silage microorganisms at the phylum level. Under the treatment of 20 °C, 30 °C, and 40 °C, Lactobacillus had already dominated on the second day of silage. However, low temperatures under 10 °C slowed down the microbial community succession, allowing, bad microorganisms such as Chryseobacterium, Pantoea and Pseudomonas dominate the fermentation, in the early stage of ensiling, which also resulted in the highest bacterial network complexity. According to random forest and structural equation model analysis, the production of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide is mainly affected by microorganisms such as Lactobacillus, Klebsiella and Enterobacter, and temperature influences the activity of these microorganisms to mediate gas production in silage. This study helps reveal the relationship between temperature, microbial community and greenhouse gas production during silage fermentation, providing a reference for clean silage fermentation.
RESUMEN
Chitosan (CS) is commonly used as an adsorbent for removing Cu(II) from water, but it has drawbacks such as solubility in dilute acid, difficulty in recycling in powder form, and short service life. This study utilized sodium alginate (SA) as a gel carrier to encapsulate CS, combined with silicon dioxide (SiO2) to improve mechanical stability. The preparation of CS/SA/SiO2 (SSC1.0) involved physical blending, CaCl2 cross-linking, and freeze-drying. Characterization methods such as SEM-EDS, FTIR, BET, and XRD were used to analyze the structural composition of SSC1.0. The material exhibited a folded surface, porous internal cross-section, nitrogen/oxygen-containing functional groups, and thermal stability in high temperatures and various aqueous environments. The adsorption performance of SSC1.0 on Cu(II) was evaluated under different conditions, showing a maximum adsorption capacity of 47.50 mg/g. The material maintained a removal rate above 70 % after 5 cycles. SSC1.0 also showed the highest removal rate of Cu(II) when applied to mine wastewater treatment. Adsorption modeling indicated that the process was driven by chemical reactions and was spontaneous and heat-absorbing.'
RESUMEN
AIMS: Androgen receptor inhibitors (ARIs) have become an effective treatment for advanced prostate cancer (PC). However, it is unknown which ARI is the most helpful and safe for men with advanced PC. Our aim is to help physicians make clinical decisions and provide medication guidelines for patients with advanced PC to avoid potential risks when using ARIs for treatment. METHODS: We systematically searched the following databases: PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library, with a literature publication deadline of February 2023. The primary efficacy outcomes were 18-month overall survival (OS), treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), hypertension and fatigue. The network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed by Stata 15.1, and Revman 5.3 was used to assess the included studies' risk of bias. RESULTS: The analysis included 26 trials with 26 263 people. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) concluded that enzalutamide (86.8%) showed the best effect in prolonging the OS of patients. Flutamide led to the highest risk of TEAEs (29.9%) and AEs leading to discontinuation (12.8%). Apalutamide (13.4%) led to the highest risk of grade ≥3 TEAEs. Enzalutamide had the highest risk of hypertension (0.2%), grade ≥3 hypertension (4.5%) and fatigue (5.2%). CONCLUSIONS: This NMA indicates there is no one ARI to reach both the most effective and safe therapy aims for treating advanced PC and that there is a compromise between the efficacy and safety of ARIs in the treatment of advanced PC. Physicians should weigh the risks to safety against the anticipated benefits when prescribing these drugs to patients with PC.
RESUMEN
Reconstructing the visible spectra of real objects is critical to the spectral camouflage from emerging spectral imaging. Electrochromic materials exhibit unique superiority for this goal due to their subtractive color-mixing model and structural diversity. Herein, a simulation model is proposed and a method is developed to fabricate electrochromic devices for dynamically reproducing the visible spectrum of the natural leaf. Over 20 kinds of pH-dependent leuco dyes have been synthesized/prepared through molecular engineering and offered available spectra/bands to reconstruct the spectrum of the natural leaf. More importantly, the spectral variance between the device and leaf is optimized from an initial 98.9 to an ideal 10.3 through the simulation model, which means, the similarity increased nearly nine-fold. As a promising spectrum reconstruction approach, it will promote the development of smart photoelectric materials in adaptive camouflage, spectral display, high-end encryption, and anti-counterfeiting.
RESUMEN
In recent years, physical literacy (PL) has gained a great deal of attention in global academia. Children's physical activity (PA) participation is severely underrepresented today, and students' participation in PA and PL level development is strongly dependent on the PL levels of PE teachers. This study aims to offer information for PE teachers to improve their PL levels and for the future development of tools to assess the PL of PE teachers through a systematic review of studies assessing PL of PE teachers. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) was used to conduct a comprehensive and systematic search in six databases-Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, ProQuest; and SportDiscus, and a total of 671 papers were retrieved, but after removing duplicates, article identification, and screening only eight papers met the inclusion criteria. This study's results indicate a paucity of research related to PL among PE teachers, focusing on children, students, older adults, and children with disabilities. PE teachers performed poorly in the physical competence domain and better in the cognitive and affective domains, with a moderate level of overall PL. Only one instrument is currently available to assess PE teachers' (perceived) PL, and other studies have used instrument components. Therefore, it was concluded that the current PE teachers' PL level is not high. Also, because the concept of PL among PE teachers has not been standardized, no tool has been developed to evaluate the PL of PE teachers comprehensively and systematically. The CPD (continuing professional development) is considered an effective means of enhancing PL among PE teachers, and research should prioritize the development of CPD programs and tools that are specifically tailored to assess PL among PE teachers in the future.

In this study, a fresh three-dimensional microsphere adsorbent (CATP@SA3) was successfully synthesized by Attapulgite (ATP) and combining Chitosan (CS), incorporating them into a Sodium alginate (SA) solution, and crosslinking them in a CaCl2 solution. Multiple analyses, including XRD, TGA, FTIR, XPS, SEM-EDS, and BET were utilized to comprehensively characterize the structural makeup of CATP@SA3. These analyses revealed the presence of beneficial functional groups like hydroxyl, amino, and carboxyl groups that enhance the adsorption efficiency in adsorption procedures. CATP@SA3 was evaluated by studying different factors, including material ratio, contact time, dosage, solution pH, Pb(II) concentration, temperature, ionic strength, and aqueous environment. Three adsorption models, including kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic, were fitted to the experimental data. The findings demonstrated that the maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity of CATP@SA3 was 1081.36 mg/g, with a removal rate that exceeded 70 % even after 5 cycles of use. Furthermore, correlation adsorption models revealed that the adsorption process of Pb(II) with CATP@SA3 was driven by a chemical predominantly reaction.
RESUMEN
Inherited non-hemolytic anemia is a group of rare bone marrow disorders characterized by erythroid defects. Although concerted efforts have been made to explore the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms of these diseases, the understanding of the causative mutations are still incomplete. Here we identify in a diseased pedigree that a gain-of-function mutation in toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) is implicated in inherited non-hemolytic anemia. TLR8 is expressed in erythroid lineage and erythropoiesis is impaired by TLR8 activation whereas enhanced by TLR8 inhibition from erythroid progenitor stage. Mechanistically, TLR8 activation blocks annexin A2 (ANXA2)-mediated plasma membrane localization of STAT5 and disrupts EPO signaling in HuDEP2 cells. TLR8 inhibition improves erythropoiesis in RPS19+/- HuDEP2 cells and CD34+ cells from healthy donors and inherited non-hemolytic anemic patients. Collectively, we identify a gene implicated in inherited anemia and a previously undescribed role for TLR8 in erythropoiesis, which could potentially be explored for therapeutic benefit in inherited anemia.

Despite the extensive development of non-noble metals for the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols, the exploitation of catalysts with high selectivity, activity, and stability still faces challenges. The controllable modification of single-atom sites through asymmetric coordination with a second heteroatom offers new opportunities for enhancing the intrinsic activity of transition metal single-atom catalysts. Here, we prepared the asymmetric N/P hybrid coordination of single-atom Co1-N3P1 by absorbing the Co-P complex on ZIF-8 using a concise impregnation-pyrolysis process. The catalyst exhibits ultrahigh activity and selectivity in the N-alkylation of aniline and benzyl alcohol, achieving a turnover number (TON) value of 3480 and a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 174-h. The TON value is 1 order of magnitude higher than the reported catalysts and even 37-fold higher than that of the homogeneous catalyst CoCl2(PPh3)2. Furthermore, the catalyst maintains its high activity and selectivity even after 6 cycles of usage. Controlling experiments and isotope labeling experiments confirm that in the asymmetric Co1-N3P1 system, the N-alkylation of aniline with benzyl alcohol proceeds via a transfer hydrogenation mechanism involving the monohydride route. Theoretical calculations prove that the superior activity of asymmetric Co1-N3P1 is attributed to the higher d-band energy level of Co sites, which leads to a more stable four-membered ring transition state and a lower reaction energy barrier compared to symmetrical Co1-N4.
RESUMEN
Dysregulated metabolism, cell death, and inflammation contribute to the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Pyroptosis, a recently identified form of programmed cell death, is closely linked to inflammation. However, the precise role of pyroptosis, particularly gasdermin-E (GSDME), in MASH development remains unknown. In this study, we observed GSDME cleavage and GSDME-associated interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß)/IL-18 induction in liver tissues of MASH patients and MASH mouse models induced by a choline-deficient high-fat diet (CDHFD) or a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet (HFHC). Compared with wild-type mice, global GSDME knockout mice exhibited reduced liver steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, lipotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction in CDHFD- or HFHC-induced MASH models. Moreover, GSDME knockout resulted in increased energy expenditure, inhibited intestinal nutrient absorption, and reduced body weight. In the mice with GSDME deficiency, reintroduction of GSDME in myeloid cells-rather than hepatocytes-mimicked the MASH pathologies and metabolic dysfunctions, as well as the changes in the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps and hepatic macrophage/monocyte subclusters. These subclusters included shifts in Tim4+ or CD163+ resident Kupffer cells, Ly6Chi pro-inflammatory monocytes, and Ly6CloCCR2loCX3CR1hi patrolling monocytes. Integrated analyses of RNA sequencing and quantitative proteomics revealed a significant GSDME-dependent reduction in citrullination at the arginine-114 (R114) site of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) during MASH. Mutation of Drp1 at R114 reduced its stability, impaired its ability to redistribute to mitochondria and regulate mitophagy, and ultimately promoted its degradation under MASH stress. GSDME deficiency reversed the de-citrullination of Drp1R114, preserved Drp1 stability, and enhanced mitochondrial function. Our study highlights the role of GSDME in promoting MASH through regulating pyroptosis, Drp1 citrullination-dependent mitochondrial function, and energy balance in the intestine and liver, and suggests that GSDME may be a potential therapeutic target for managing MASH.
RESUMEN
As-cast organic solar cells (OSCs) possess tremendous potential for low-cost commercial applications. Herein, five small-molecule acceptors (A1-A5) are designed and synthesized by selectively and elaborately extending the alkyl inner side chain flanking on the pyrrole motif to prepare efficient as-cast devices. As the extension of the alkyl chain, the absorption spectra of the films are gradually blue-shifted from A1 to A5 along with slightly uplifted lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels, which is conducive for optimizing the trade-off between short-circuit current density and open-circuit voltage of the devices. Moreover, a longer alkyl chain improves compatibility between the acceptor and donor. The in situ technique clarifies that good compatibility will prolong molecular assembly time and assist in the preferential formation of the donor phase, where the acceptor precipitates in the framework formed by the donor. The corresponding film-formation dynamics facilitate the realization of favorable film morphology with a suitable fibrillar structure, molecular stacking, and vertical phase separation, resulting in an incremental fill factor from A1 to A5-based devices. Consequently, the A3-based as-cast OSCs achieve a top-ranked efficiency of 18.29%. This work proposes an ingenious strategy to manipulate intermolecular interactions and control the film-formation process for constructing high-performance as-cast devices.
RESUMEN
In brief: SORBS2, an RNA-binding protein, is identified as a regulator of aerobic glycolysis, which is essential for trophoblast migration and placental development. Reduced SORBS2 expression in preeclampsia may impair trophoblast migration by affecting mRNA stability and glycolysis, suggesting its role in the disease's pathogenesis. Abstract: Insufficient trophoblast migration and impaired uterine spiral artery remodeling are implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, contributing to inadequate placentation. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains unclear. Aerobic glycolysis, which produces substantial lactate, is crucial for establishing a favorable microenvironment for early uterine preparation and supporting embryo implantation and trophoblast migration. In the present study, we have demonstrated that SORBS2, an RNA-binding protein, regulated aerobic glycolysis and significantly improved trophoblast migration in vitro. Our results showed that SORBS2 expression was significantly reduced in human PE placentas and trophoblasts during hypoxia. Overexpression of SORBS2 enhanced cell proliferation and migration, whereas knockdown of SORBS2 decreased these functions in HTR-8/SVneo cells. Mechanistic studies have demonstrated that SORBS2 directly interacts with the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of key glycolysis-related genes, specifically HK2. This interaction results in enhanced stability of HK2 and activation of glycolysis. Moreover, silencing HK2 abrogated the enhancement of proliferation and migration of HTR-8/SVneo cells induced by SORBS2. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the downregulation of SORBS2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia by regulating mRNA stability and inhibiting trophoblast migration during placentation.

X-ray detection is crucial across various sectors, but traditional techniques face challenges such as inefficient data transmission, redundant sensing, high power consumption, and complexity. The innovative idea of a retinomorphic X-ray detector shows great potential. However, its implementation has been hindered by the absence of active layers capable of both detecting X-rays and serving as memory storage. In response to this critical gap, our study integrates hybrid perovskite with hydrion-conductive organic cations to develop a groundbreaking retinomorphic X-ray detector. This novel device stands at the nexus of technological innovation, utilizing X-ray detection, memory, and preprocessing capabilities within a single hardware platform. The core mechanism underlying this innovation lies in the transport of electrons and holes within the metal halide octahedral frameworks, enabling precise X-ray detection. Concurrently, the hydrion movement through organic cations endows the device with short-term resistive memory, facilitating rapid data processing and retrieval. Notably, our retinomorphic X-ray detector boasts an array of formidable features, including reconfigurable short-term memory, a linear response curve, and an extended retention time. In practical terms, this translates into the efficient capture of motion projections with minimal redundant data, achieving a compression ratio of 18.06% and an impressive recognition accuracy of up to 98.6%. In essence, our prototype represents a paradigm shift in X-ray detection technology. With its transformative capabilities, this retinomorphic hardware is poised to revolutionize the existing X-ray detection landscape.
RESUMEN
Enhancing the aerobic stability of whole-plant corn silage is essential for producing high-quality silage. Our research assessed the effect of inoculation with Lactobacillus buchneri or Bacillus licheniformis and its modulation of the bacterial and fungal microbial community structure in an aerobic stage of whole-plant corn silage. Following treatment with a distilled sterile water control, Lactobacillus buchneri, and Bacillus licheniformis (2 × 105 cfu/g), whole-plant corn was ensiled for 60 days. Samples were taken on days 0, 3, and 7 of aerobic exposure, and the results showed that inoculation with Lactobacillus buchneri or Bacillus licheniformis improved the aerobic stability of silage when compared to the effect of the control (p < 0.05). Inoculation with Bacillus licheniformis attenuated the increase in pH value and the decrease in lactic acid in the aerobic stage (p < 0.05), reducing the filamentous fungal counts. On the other hand, inoculation with Lactobacillus buchneri or Bacillus licheniformis increased the diversity of the fungal communities (p < 0.05), complicating the correlation between bacteria or fungi, reducing the relative abundance of Acetobacter and Paenibacillus in bacterial communities, and inhibiting the tendency of Monascus to replace Issatchenkia in fungal communities, thus delaying the aerobic spoilage process. Due to the prevention of the development of aerobic spoilage microorganisms, the silage injected with Lactobacillus buchneri or Bacillus licheniformis exhibited improved aerobic stability.
RESUMEN
The nanoscale morphology of the photoactive layer notably impacts the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). Conventional methods to tune the morphology are typically chemical approaches that adjust the properties (such as solubility and miscibility) of the active components including donor, acceptor, and/or additive. Here, we demonstrate a completely different approach by applying an external electric field (EEF) on the active layer during the wet coating. The EEF-coating method is perfectly compatible with an ambient blade coating using environmentally friendly solvents, which are essential requirements for industrial production of OSCs. A record 18.6% efficiency is achieved using the EEF coating, which is the best value for open-air, blade-coated OSCs to date. Our findings suggest broad material applicability and attribute-enhanced performance to EEF-induced fiber formation and long-range ordering of microstructures of acceptor domains. This technique offers an effective method for producing high-performance OSCs, especially suited for industry OSC production based on open-air printing.
RESUMEN
Boron-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exhibit excellent optical properties, and regulating their photophysical processes is a powerful strategy to understand the luminescence mechanism and develop new materials and applications. Herein, an electrochemically responsive B-O dynamic coordination bond is proposed, and used to regulate the photophysical processes of boron-nitrogen-doped polyaromatic hydrocarbons. The formation of the B-O coordination bond under a suitable voltage is confirmed by experiments and theoretical calculations, and B-O coordination bond can be broken back to the initial state under opposite voltage. The whole process is accompanied by reversible changes in photophysical properties. Further, electrofluorochromic devices are successfully prepared based on the above electrochemically responsive coordination bond. The success and harvest of this exploration are beneficial to understand the luminescence mechanism of boron-nitrogen-doped polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and provide ideas for design of dynamic covalent bonds and broaden material types and applications.
