Synthesis of δ-MnO2 via ozonation routine for low temperature formaldehyde removal.

Nowadays, it is still a challenge to prepared high efficiency and low cost formaldehyde (HCHO) removal catalysts in order to tackle the long-living indoor air pollution. Herein, δ-MnO2 is successfully synthesized by a facile ozonation strategy, where Mn2+ is oxidized by ozone (O3) bubble in an alkaline solution. It presents one of the best catalytic properties with a low 100% conversion temperature of 85°C for 50 ppm of HCHO under a GHSV of 48,000 mL/(g·hr). As a comparison, more than 6 times far longer oxidation time is needed if O3 is replaced by O2. Characterizations show that ozonation process generates a different intermediate of tetragonal ß-HMnO2, which would favor the quick transformation into the final product δ-MnO2, as compared with the relatively more thermodynamically stable monoclinic γ-HMnO2 in the O2 process. Finally, HCHO is found to be decomposed into CO2 via formate, dioxymethylene and carbonate species as identified by room temperature in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy. All these results show great potency of this facile ozonation routine for the highly active δ-MnO2 synthesis in order to remove the HCHO contamination.

Nickel-Nitrogen Doped MnO2 as Oxygen Reduction Reaction Catalyst for Aluminum Air Batteries.

Aluminum-air battery has the advantages of high energy density, low cost and environmental protection, and is considered as an ideal next-generation energy storage conversion system. However, the slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in air cathode leads to its unsatisfactory performance. Here, we report an electrode made of N and Ni co-doped MnO2 nanotubes. In alkaline solution, Ni/N-MnO2 has higher oxygen reduction activity than undoped MnO2, with an initial potential of 1.00 V and a half-wave potential of 0.75 V. This is because it has abundant defects, high specific surface area and sufficient Mn3+ active sites, which promote the transfer of electrons and oxygen-containing intermediates. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that MnO2 doped with N and Ni atoms reduces the reaction overpotential and improves the ORR kinetics. The peak power density and energy density of the  Ni/N-MnO2 air electrode increased by 34.03 mW·cm-2 and 316.41 mWh·g-1, respectively. The results show that N and Ni co-doped MnO2 nanotubes are a promising air electrode, which can provide some ideas for the research of aluminum-air batteries.

Establishing Neuron-Specific Enolase Reference Intervals: A Comparative Analysis of Partitioned Approach- and Gender-Based Continuous Age- and Season-Related Models.

Background/Objectives: Static reference intervals (RIs) fail to capture the dynamic changes in bioanalytes. This study aimed to develop gender-based continuous age- and season-related RIs for neuron-specific enolase (NSE) using real-world data and to compare them with partitioned RIs. Methods: The NSE results from 4097 individuals were included after rigorous screening. Partitioned RIs were determined using the Hoffmann method. Generalized additive models for location, scale and shape (GAMLSS) were selected to develop continuous RIs. Results: The partitioned RIs are as follows: <16.4 µg/L for males aged ≥19 years; <14.47 µg/L for females aged 19-49 years; and <17.25 µg/L for females aged ≥50 years. For continuous RIs, NSE levels in males remain stable with age, while in females, NSE levels evidently increase around the age of 50. Although less impactful than age, seasonal changes still affect NSE levels. Dynamic changes and continuous RIs for NSE are visualized in this study. Conclusions: We developed gender-based continuous age- and season-integrated RIs for NSE in North China, highlighting the variation in NSE levels in females with age and season. Compared to static RIs, continuous RIs are more responsive to NSE, potentially enhancing the precision and individualization of health assessments.

Cepharanthine-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibits Notch1 via binding GRP78 for suppressing hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis.

BACKGROUND: The metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) leads to a poor prognosis, wherein the activation of Notch1 is an essential contributor. Cepharanthine (Cep) has been identified for its effective antiviral function and versatile intracellular targets. Our previous study has only reported the anti-cancer efficacy of Cep in lung cancer, without an in-depth exploration. Herein, the present study aims to investigate the anti-metastasis effect in HCC, the target involved, and the molecular mechanism of Cep. METHODS: Stable over-expression of Notch1-N1ICD yielded C5WN1 cells compared with C5WBF344 cells. The C5WN1 cells and C5WN1 cell-bearing mice were applied as the HCC model. The bioinformatics analysis, RNA sequencing, molecular docking, cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS), microscale thermophoresis (MST), and transient knockdown techniques were carried out to identify the underlying target. The apoptosis assay, immunofluorescent staining, qRT-PCR, Western blots, Elisa, flow cytometry, migration and scratching experiments, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and histopathological experiments were conducted to assay the anti-HCC efficacy, functions, and mechanism. RESULTS: Notch1 had an increased expression in HCC and contributed to metastasis thereupon. Surprisingly, Cep (2 µg/ml in vitro, 5 mg kg-1in vivo) presented potent Notch1 signaling pathway inhibitory effect and anti-metastasis efficacy in C5WN1 cells and in situ mice models as evidenced by reduced Notch1/MMP-2/MMP-9 expression, TGF-ß release, decreased cell migration, diminished pulmonary metastases, and prolonged survival. RNA sequencing showed that the differential gene of Cep-treated HCC cells was positioned in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Molecular docking, CETSA, DARTS, and MST further identified that the possible target of Cep was GRP78, which was distributed in the ER. As expected, Cep (2 µg/ml) up-regulated the critical molecules of ER stress such as GRP78, induced ß-amyloid accumulation, and promoted calcium burst in HCC. In contrast, suppression of GRP78 attenuated Cep-induced ER stress. Furthermore, inhibition of ER stress abated Cep-induced Notch1 inactivation and HCC cells' migration. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the present study finds that Cep possesses excellent anti-metastasis of HCC, wherein the GRP78 could be directly bound and activated by Cep, leading to ER stress and Notch1 blockage. This study reveals for the first time the effect, critical target, and mechanism of the Cep-mediated anti-cancer effect, providing novel insights into the molecular target therapy by phytomedicine.

Treatment of silicosis with quercetin depolarizing macrophages via inhibition of mitochondrial damage-associated pyroptosis.

Macrophage polarization facilitates the inflammatory response and intensified fibrosis in the silicosis microenvironment by a mechanism related to macrophage pyroptosis, although the upstream target remains poorly defined. Currently, there are few reports on the development of drugs that alleviate macrophage polarization by dampening pyroptosis. The present study aims to explore the mechanics of silica mediating macrophage polarization and to investigate whether quercetin (Que) can depolarize macrophages with this mechanism. Silica processing led to prominent M1 polarization of macrophages. Additionally, significant macrophage polarization could be detected in the lung tissue of mice with airway-perfused silica. Further investigation turned out that pronounced mitochondria damage, mtDNA cytoplasmic ectomy, and pyroptosis occurred in response to silica. Nevertheless, Que treatment could effectively attenuate silica-induced mitochondria damage and pyroptosis as demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. Further exploration presented Que could bind to TOM70 and restore silica-induced mitochondrial damage. More importantly, the M1 polarization of macrophage was depressed with the co-treatment of Que and silica, wherein the inflammatory response and pulmonary fibrosis were also mitigated without obvious damage to vital organs. In conclusion, these findings proved that silica leads to mitochondrial damage, thereby evoking pyroptosis and promoting macrophage M1 polarization. Que could bind to TOM70 and restore its function, suppressing mitochondrial damage and pyroptosis, and depolarizing macrophages to reduce fibrosis, which provides a promising strategy for silicosis treatment in the future.

Nonreciprocal Acoustic Devices with Asymmetric Peierls Phases.

Nonreciprocity in acoustics is of paramount importance in many practical applications and has been experimentally realized using nonlinear media, moving fluids, or time modulation, which regrettably suffer from large volumes and high-power consumption, difficulty in integration, and inevitable vibrations or phase noise. In modern Hamiltonian theory, the violation of system's reciprocity can be achieved via asymmetric Peierls phases, which typically involves with non-Hermiticity or time-reversal symmetry breaking. Here, we propose a framework for designing nonreciprocal acoustic devices based on the asymmetric Peierls phases that can be fully controlled via active acoustic components. The fully controlled Peierls phases enable various high-performance acoustic devices, including non-Hermitian extensions of isolators, gyrators, and circulators, which are otherwise impossible in previous approaches that are bound by Hermiticity or passivity. We reveal that the transmission phases in isolators are equivalent to the Peierls phase plus a constant. The nonreciprocal phase delay in gyrators and the unirotational transmission behavior in circulators result from the gauge-invariant Aharonov-Bohm phases determined by Peierls phases. Our work not only uncovers multiple intriguing physics related to Peierls phases but also provides a general approach to compact, integratable, nonreciprocal acoustic devices.

Mitochondrial disruption resulting from Cepharanthine-mediated TOM inhibition triggers ferroptosis in colorectal cancer cells.

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) urgently needs low-toxicity and highly effective phytomedicine. Cepharanthine (Cep) shown to have multiple anti-tumor effects, including colorectal cancer, whose pivotal mechanisms are not fully understood. Herein, the present work aims to reveal the impact of Cep on the mitochondrial and anti-injury functions of CRC cells. METHODS: The TOM70/20 expression was screened by bioinformatic databases. SW480 cells were utilized as the colorectal cancer cell model. The expression of TOM70/20 and the downstream molecules were measured by western blots (WB). The ferroptosis was analyzed using Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), C11-BODIPY, PGSK, and DCFH-DA probes, wherein the detection was performed by flow cytometry and laser confocal microscopy. The anti-cancer efficacy was conducted by CCK-8 and Annexin-V/PI assay. The rescue experiments were carried out using Fer-1 and TOM70 plasmid transfection. RESULTS: Bioinformatic data identified TOM20 and TOM70 were highly expressed in colorectal cancer, which could be down-regulated by Cep. Further findings disclosed that Cep treatment destroyed the mitochondria and inactivated the NRF2 signaling pathway, an essential pathway for resistance to ferroptosis, thereby promoting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in CRC cells. As a result, prominent ferroptosis could be observed in CRC cells in response to Cep, which thereby led to the reduced cell viability of cancer cells. On the contrary, recovery of TOM70 dampened the Cep-elicited mitochondria damage, ferroptosis, and anti-cancer efficacy. CONCLUSION: In summary, Cep-mediated TOM inhibition inactivates the NRF2 signaling pathway, thereby triggering ferroptosis and achieving an anti-colorectal cancer effect. The current study provides an innovative chemotherapeutic approach for colorectal cancer with phytomedicine.

Novel mechanism of MicroRNA408 in callus formation from rice mature embryo.

Mature embryos are the main explants of tissue culture used in rice transgenic technology. However, the mechanism of mature embryo callus formation remains unclear. In this study, a microRNA-mediated gene regulatory network of rice calli was established using degradome sequencing. We identified a microRNA, OsmiR408, that regulates the formation of the callus derived from the mature rice embryo. OsUCLACYANIN 30 (OsUCL 30), a target gene of OsmiR408, was the most abundant cleavage mRNA in rice callus. OsUCL17 was verified as a target gene of OsmiR408 using RNA ligase-mediated 5'-RACE. In analysis of the OsmiR408 promoter reporter line and pri-miR408 transcript level, the promoter activity and transcript level of MIR408 were increased dramatically during callus formation. In phenotypic observations, OsmiR408 knockout caused severe defects in mature embryo callus formation, whereas OsmiR408 overexpression promoted callus formation. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated that OsUCLs and certain genes related to the plant hormone signal transduction and phenylpropanoid-flavonoid biosynthesis pathway had different differential expression patterns between OsmiR408 knockout and overexpression calli. Thus, OsmiR408 may regulate callus formation mainly by affecting plant hormone signal transduction and phenylpropanoid-flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. Our findings provide insight into OsmiR408/UCLs module function in callus formation.

Clinical and laboratory characteristics of asymptomatic and symptomatic neurosyphilis in HIV-infected patients: A retrospective study in China.

There are high rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Treponema pallidum coinfection, HIV can increase the incidence and disability rate of neurosyphilis. However, there is a lack of data about the risk factors associated with the development of symptomatic neurosyphilis (SNS). We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of inpatients with concurrent syphilis and HIV infection who underwent a lumbar puncture and completed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination. Sixty inpatients were consecutively enrolled from Beijing Ditan Hospital between January 2015 and March 2023. The clinical and laboratory features were evaluated between the SNS and asymptomatic neurosyphilis (ANS) groups. All patients were male, 25% (15/60) patients were diagnosed with ANS, and 75% (45/60) patients were diagnosed with SNS. Meningovascular neurosyphilis was the most prevalent clinical form in this study. Age, CD4 cell count, highly active antiretroviral therapy use, and serum HIV viral load showed no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups. The SNS group lacked early detection of syphilis (P < .001) and did not get previous adequate therapy for syphilis (P < .001) than the ANS group, as well as a higher initial serum toluidine red unheated serum test (TRUST) titer, current serum TRUST titer, CSF white blood cell count (WBC), protein concentration, and CSF TRUST titer (P = .014, P = .042, P = .01, P = .007, and P = .007, respectively). In multivariable logistic regression, high CSF WBC count (odds ratio = 1.08; P = .032) and previous treatment of syphilis (odds ratio = 0.01; P = .049) related to the SNS. Lack of antisyphilis treatment in the early stage of syphilis and a higher CSF WBC count are related risk factors for SNS in HIV-infected patients. Meningovascular neurosyphilis should get more attention in young patients with cryptogenic stroke.

Investigating response behavior through TF-IDF and Word2vec text analysis: A case study of PISA 2012 problem-solving process data.

The process data in computer-based problem-solving evaluation is rich in valuable implicit information. However, its diverse and irregular structure poses challenges for effective feature extraction, leading to varying degrees of information loss in existing methods. Process-response behavior exhibits similarities to textual data in terms of the key units and contextual relationships. Despite the scarcity of relevant research, exploring text analysis methods for feature recognition in process data is significant. This study investigated the efficacy of Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and Word to Vector (Word2vec) in extracting response behavior features and compared the predictive, analytical, and clustering effects of classical machine learning methods (supervised and unsupervised) on response behavior. An analysis of the PISA 2012 computer-based problem-solving dataset revealed that TF-IDF effectively extracted key response behaviors, whereas Word2vec captured effective features from sequenced response behaviors. In addition, in supervised machine learning using both methods, the random forest model based on TF-IDF performed the best, followed by the SVM model based on Word2vec. Word2vec-based models outperformed TF-IDF-based ones in the F1-score, accuracy, and recall (except for precision) across the logistic regression, k-nearest neighbor, and support vector machine algorithms. In unsupervised machine learning, the k-means algorithm effectively clustered different response behavior patterns extracted by these methods. The findings underscore the theoretical and methodological transferability of these text analysis methods in educational and psychological assessment contexts. This study offers valuable insights for research and practice in similar domains by yielding rich feature representations, supplementing fine-grained assessment evidence, fostering personalized learning, and introducing novel insights for educational assessment.

Poly-tannic acid coated PLGA nanoparticle decorated with antimicrobial peptide for synergistic bacteria treatment and infectious wound healing promotion.

Bacterial infections pose a great threat to human health. Therefore, the development of new antibacterial agents or methods is in urgent need. In this study, we prepared polytannic acid (pTA)-coated PLGA nanoparticles decorated with Dermaseptin-PP (Der), an antimicrobial peptide (AMP), on the surface to obtain PLGA-pTA-Der. This nanoplatform could combine AMPs with photothermal treatment (PTT) mediated by pTA to achieve synergistic bacterial killing. The results of in vitro experiments showed that the PLGA-pTA-Der nanoparticles could eliminate nearly 99 % of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) upon near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation (2.0 W·cm-2, 5 min), demonstrating excellent antibacterial properties. In addition, the results of atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that PLGA-pTA-Der with laser irradiation can greatly destroy the mechanical integrity of the bacterial outer membrane. And the presence of Der could exacerbate the heat damage caused by the PLGA-pTA NPs to the bacteria, which is helpful to reduce the critical temperature required for bacteria killing by PTT. In vivo experiments showed that PLGA-pTA-Der nanoparticles with laser irradiation significantly accelerated the wound healing process and inhibited the growth of bacterial. Moreover, it can achieve a strong photothermal antibacterial effect at a mild temperature (<45℃) and does not cause any obvious thermal damage to the surrounding normal skin tissues. Results of immunofluorescence staining showed that the expression of CD31 (a marker of new blood vessel formation) was significantly higher in the PLGA-pTA-Der + laser group than other groups, while the pro-inflammatory molecule TNF-α was significantly lower, indicating that PLGA-pTA-Der nanoparticles accelerated wound healing by enhancing angiogenesis and reducing the inflammatory response. In conclusion, PLGA-pTA-Der nanoparticles was a promising antimicrobial nanoplatform for treating bacterial infections and promoting wound healing.

Relaxin-2 promotes osteoblastic differentiation mediated by epidermal growth factor and epidermal growth factor receptor signaling.

Loss of osteogenic differentiation potential of osteoblasts has been associated with the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Thus, stimulation of osteoblastic differentiation is a therapeutic strategy for osteoporosis. Relaxin-2 is a peptide hormone with potent biological functions. However, the effects of Relaxin-2 in osteoblastic differentiation and osteoporosis have not been reported before. Here, we report a novel physiological role of Relaxin-2 in promoting osteoblastic differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. Our results indicate that exposure to Relaxin-2 upregulated the expression, and elevated the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) when MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium (OM). Additionally, Relaxin-2 upregulated the mRNA levels of osteocalcin (ocn), osteopontin (opn), and collagen type I alpha 1 (Col1a1). The alizarin red S staining assay revealed that Relaxin-2 promoted the mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. We also found that Relaxin-2 increased the expression of Runx-2 as well as the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Importantly, silencing of EGF abolished the effects of Relaxin-2 in osteoblastic differentiation and related gene expression. These findings suggest that Relaxin-2 stimulates osteogenic differentiation through activating EGF/EGFR signaling.

Wide Range Near-Zero Thermal Quenching of Orange-Yellow Phosphor via Impeding Self-Oxidation of Eu2+ for Versatile Optoelectronic Applications.

Li2SrSiO4:Eu2+ is a promising substitute for traditional Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce3+) owing to its strong orange-yellow emission of 4f-5d transition originating from Eu2+ dopant, covering the more red-light region. However, its inevitable luminescence thermal quenching at high temperatures and the self-oxidation of Eu2+ strongly impede their applications. Their remediation remains highly challenging. Herein, an anti-self-oxidation(ASO) concept of Eu2+ in Li2SrSiO4 substrate by adding trivalent rare-earth ions (A3+: A = La, Gd, Y, Lu) for highly efficient and stable orange-yellow light emission have been proposed. A significantly increased orange-yellow emission (202% improvement) from Li2Sr0.95A0.05SiO4:Eu2+ with a wide range near-zero thermal quenching is obtained, superior to other Eu2+ activated phosphors. The presence of A3+ ions with various radii modifies the ASO degree of Eu2+ ions, achieving the tunable chemical state, composition, electronic configuration, crystal-field strength, and luminescent characteristics of the developed phosphors. For the proof of the concept, a W-LED device and a PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) luminescent film are fabricated, endowing excellent luminescence performance and thermal stability and the huge application prospects of Li2SrSiO4:Eu2+ in lighting and display fields.

Gambogic acid and IR780 self-assembled nanoparticles for combined chemo-phototherapy.

Combined chemo-phototherapy has shown considerable advantages and potential in cancer treatment. For this purpose, self-assembled nanoparticles by gambogic acid (GA) and IR780 (referred to as GA-IR780 NPs) were prepared. Herein, GA, an active compound derived from Garcinia hanburyi Hook.f, was selected as a chemo-agent. IR780 was used as a photothermal agent as well as a photosensitizer, which could kill tumor cells via photothermal effect and photodynamic effect. The obtained GA-IR780 NPs were uniform spheres with particle size of ca. 50 nm. The drug loading efficiency of GA and IR780 was 38.42 % and 56.64 %, respectively. The GA-IR780 NPs exhibited excellent photothermal properties as well as photodynamic effect when irradiated by near infrared (NIR) light (808 nm, 2.0 W/cm2). Moreover, the GA-IR780 NPs showed enhanced cytotoxicity with NIR light activation. Results of animal experiments showed that GA-IR780 NPs had the most significant tumor inhibition when irradiated by laser, and the results of H&E, Ki-67 and TUNEL staining confirmed that the GA-IR780 NPs+Laser group caused the most severe tumor tissue damage. The above results indicated that GA-mediated chemotherapy combining with IR780-based phototherapy could significantly improve the anti-tumor efficacy.

Baicalein-modified chitosan nanofiber membranes with antioxidant and antibacterial activities for chronic wound healing.

Diabetic foot ulcers, burns and many other trauma can lead to the formation of skin wounds, which often remain open for a long period of time, seriously affecting the quality of patient's life. Oxidative stress and infection are the main factors affecting the healing of chronic wounds, so it is important to develop dressings with dual antioxidant and antimicrobial properties for wound management. In this study, functionalized chitosan was synthesized by modifying chitosan with antioxidant baicalein to enhance the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of chitosan. Then the obtained baicalein-modified chitosan was prepared into nanofibrous membranes by electrospinning. The membrane structures were characterized, and the antioxidant and antibacterial activities were evaluated by in vivo and in vitro experiments. The results showed that the prepared wound dressings had excellent antioxidant and antibacterial activities and significantly accelerated the wound process. This study provided a reference for the development of novel dressing materials to promote wound healing.
