RESUMO
We present a novel approach to induce charge density waves (CDWs) in metallic MA2Z4 materials, resembling the behavior observed in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). This method leverages the intercalating architecture to maintain the same crystal field and Fermi surface topologies. Our investigation reveals that CDW instability in these materials arises from electron-phonon coupling (EPC) between the d band and longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonons, mirroring TMDC's behavior. By combining α-MA2Z4 with 1H-MX2 materials in a predictive CDW phase diagram using critical EPC constants, we demonstrate the feasibility of extending CDW across material families with comparable crystal fields and reveal the crucial role in CDW instability of the competition between ionic charge transfer and electron correlation. We further uncover a strain-induced Mott transition in ß2-NbGe2N4 monolayer featuring star-of-David patterns. This work highlights the potential of intercalating architecture to engineer CDW materials, expanding our understanding of CDW instability and correlation physics.
RESUMO
Spatial transcriptomics technology has been an essential and powerful method for delineating tissue architecture at the molecular level. However, due to the limitations of the current spatial techniques, the cellular information cannot be directly measured but instead spatial spots typically varying from a diameter of 0.2 to 100 µm are characterized. Therefore, it is vital to apply computational strategies for inferring the cellular composition within each spatial spot. The main objective of this review is to summarize the most recent progresses to estimate the exact cellular proportions for each spatial spot, and to prospect the future directions of this field.
RESUMO
Exploring the spatiotemporal dynamic evolution of local climate zones (LCZ) associated with changes in land surface temperature (LST) can help urban planners deeply understand urban climate. Firstly, we monitored the evolution of 3D urban spatial form in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China from 2010 to 2020, used the ordinary least squares model to fit the dynamic correlation (DR) between the changes in urban spatial patterns and changes in LST, and revealed the changes of urban spatial patterns closely related to the rise in LST. Secondly, the spatiotemporal patterns of LST were examined by the integration of the Space-Time Cube model and emerging hotspot analysis. Finally, a prediction model based on curve fitting and random forest was integrated to simulate the LST of study area in 2025. Results show the following: the evolution of the urban spatial form consists of three stages: initial incremental expansion, midterm incremental expansion and stock renewal, and late stock renewal and ecological transformation. The influence of the built environment on the rise of LST is greater than that of the natural environment, and the building density has a greater effect than the building height. The overall LST shows a warming trend, and the seven identified LST spatiotemporal patterns are dominated by oscillating and new hotspots patterns, accounting for 51.99 and 11.44% of the study area, respectively. The DR between urban spatial form and LST varies across different time periods and built environment types, whereas the natural environment is always positively correlated with LST. The thermal environment of the city will warm up in the future, and the area affected by the heat island will shift to the central of the city.

The bicarbonate-activated hydrogen peroxide (BAP) system is widely studied for organic pollutant degradation in wastewater treatment. Ca2Co2O5, a heterogeneous catalyst containing multivalent cobalt including Co(II) and Co(III), was herein investigated as a BAP activator, and Acid Orange 7 (AO7) was used as a model pollutant. Ca2Co2O5 exhibited good activation performance. The degradation rate and the initial rate constant of the Ca2Co2O5-activated BAP system were 5.4 and 11.2 times as high as the BAP system, respectively. The removal rate of AO7 reached 90.9% in 30 min under optimal conditions (AO7 20 mg/L, Ca2Co2O5 0.2 g/L, H2O2 1 mM, NaHCO3 5 mM, pH 8.5, 25â). The Ca2Co2O5 catalyst exhibited good stability and recyclability, retaining 85% of AO7 removal rate in the fifth run. Compared to the BAP system, a lower dosage of H2O2 was required and a higher initial concentration of pollutants allowed for effective degradation in the Ca2Co2O5-BAP system. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to analyze the catalytic mechanism. The analysis showed that the good catalytic performance of Ca2Co2O5 attributes to its high proportion of oxygen vacancies and Co(III) species, and the presence of Ca. The active species O2â¢-, â¢OH, and 1O2 are responsible for the degradation, as indicated by the quenching experiments. The degradation mechanism of AO7 was speculated based on UV-Vis spectral analysis and the identification of degradation intermediates. The azo form, naphthalene and benzoic rings in the AO7 structure are destroyed in the decomposition. This research provides a feasible approach to designing effective and reusable BAP activators for pollutant degradation in wastewater treatment.

Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a foodborne pathogen with high morbidity and mortality rates, necessitating rapid detection methods. Current techniques, while reliable, are labor-intensive and not amenable to on-site testing. We report the design and synthesis of a novel imprinted upconversion fluorescence probe through Pickering emulsion polymerization for the specific detection of L. monocytogenes. The probe employs trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate and divinylbenzene as cross-linkers, acryloyl-modified chitosan as a functional monomer, and the bacterium itself as the template. The developed probe demonstrated high specificity and sensitivity in detecting L. monocytogenes, with a limit of detection of 72 CFU/mL. It effectively identified the pathogen in contaminated salmon and chicken samples, with minimal background interference. The integration of molecular imprinting and upconversion fluorescence materials presents a potent and reliable approach for the rapid and specific detection of L. monocytogenes, offering considerable potential for on-site food safety testing.
RESUMO
Research advances over the past 30 years have confirmed a critical role for genetics in the etiology of dilated cardiomyopathies (DCMs). However, full knowledge of the genetic architecture of DCM remains incomplete. We identified candidate DCM causal gene, C10orf71, in a large family with 8 patients with DCM by whole-exome sequencing. Four loss-of-function variants of C10orf71 were subsequently identified in an additional group of492 patients with sporadic DCM from 2 independent cohorts. C10orf71 was found to be an intrinsically disordered protein specifically expressed in cardiomyocytes. C10orf71-KO mice had abnormal heart morphogenesis during embryonic development and cardiac dysfunction as adults with altered expression and splicing of contractile cardiac genes. C10orf71-null cardiomyocytes exhibited impaired contractile function with unaffected sarcomere structure. Cardiomyocytes and heart organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells with C10orf71 frameshift variants also had contractile defects with normal electrophysiological activity. A rescue study using a cardiac myosin activator, omecamtiv mecarbil, restored contractile function in C10orf71-KO mice. These data support C10orf71 as a causal gene for DCM by contributing to the contractile function of cardiomyocytes. Mutation-specific pathophysiology may suggest therapeutic targets and more individualized therapy.

OBJECTIVES: To identify risk factors associated with falls in older people in rural China. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted across 27 villages in the rural areas of Ningxia, China. After excluding individuals younger than 60 years, a total of 758 out of the initial 822 participants were ultimately included for the collection of baseline information. Participants were followed up through telephone calls or face-to-face interviews at 3rd, 6th and 12th months following the baseline investigation. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to examine risk factors of falls. RESULTS: A total of 758 participants underwent baseline information surveys, and all samples were included in the Cox model analysis. The study found that being woman (RR=1.879, 95% CI: 1.313 to 2.668), smoking (RR=1.972, 95% CI: 1.238 to 3.143), use of painkillers (RR=1.700, 95% CI: 1.226 to 2.356) and higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) (RR=1.081, 95% CI: 1.013 to 1.154) were associated with higher risk of falls among the elderly in rural China. After excluding those who were lost to follow-up or deceased, 738 participants completed the follow-up. There were 341 men (46.2%) and 397 women (53.8%), with an average age of 66.8±5.0 years. The fall rate in study area was 23.8% during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: The fall rate among the elderly in rural China was higher than other areas. Our findings revealed that being woman, smoking, medication usage, elevated SBP and people with a higher body mass index were risk factors for developing falls.
RESUMO
In the last 40 years, there has been a notable rise in the occurrence of diabetes within China, leading to the country now having the highest number of individuals affected by this condition globally. This prospective observational study examined the effect of different baseline relative leukocyte telomere length (RTL) and the combined effect of baseline RTL and plasma phospholipid fatty acid (PPFA) on the risk of developing diabetes. Adults from Ningxia Province who underwent baseline and follow-up surveys were included in the study. The correlation between the baseline RTL and PPFA was investigated using a multiple linear regression model. The combined effects of baseline RTL and PPFA levels on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were investigated using a Cox regression model with time as the covariate. A total of 1461 study subjects were included in this study. According to the diagnostic criteria of the Chinese Diabetes Society, 141 subjects developed T2DM during the follow-up period. The baseline age was negatively correlated with RTL. After adjustment for age, C16:0, C18:1 n-9, C20:4 n-6, C20:3 n-3, and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) concentrations were negatively correlated with RTL. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that C16:0 and MUFA concentrations influenced RTL. Subjects with shorter RTL at baseline had a higher risk of developing diabetes than those with longer RTL. Subjects with shorter RTL and higher C16:0 and MUFA concentrations at baseline had a higher risk of developing T2DM than those with longer RTL and lower C16:0 and MUFA concentrations. Our findings indicated that PPFA affects changes in RTL. In addition, RTL and PPFA are associated with the occurrence of T2DM.
RESUMO
Histamine is a biogenic amine with various physiological functions. However, excessive consumption of histamine can lead to various symptoms, and pose a threat to human lives. A ratiometric fluorescent test strip for visual detection of histamine was developed based on CB-Ni2+@CDs probes. As the concentration of histamine increases, the test strips exhibit a transition in fluorescence signal from yellow-green to blue. The RGB values were extracted from the images, and used for quantitative analysis of histamine. The method had a linear range of 0-1.0 mM, with a detection limit of 0.086 mM. The test strips were employed for the detection of histamine, and the recovery rate was found to be in the range of 88.3% to 104.69%, indicating a high level of accuracy. The uniqueness of the test strips lies in their ability to be produced simply by mixing CB, Ni2+ on a suitable polyvinyl alcohol/wood cellulose fiber substrate.
RESUMO
A high-performance fluorescent "turn-on" aptasensor (Eu-MOFs@SMZ-Apt) for sulfamethazine (SMZ) determination was designed using dual-emitting europium metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) as a signal transducer and an amplifier. Eu-MOFs featuring dual emission peaks (430 nm and 620 nm) were first prepared via a facile self-assembly strategy employing Eu (III) ions and 2-aminoterephthalic acid as precursors. The high-affinity aptamer was bonded with Eu-MOFs to form Eu-MOFs@SMZ-Apt through the amidation reaction. Benefiting from the integration of inherent virtues from Eu-MOFs and aptamer, the Eu-MOFs@SMZ-Apt-based sensor allowed sensitive and selective determination of SMZ with good linear relationships in a range of 1.4-40 ng mL-1 and a low detection line (0.379 ng mL-1). This sensor was successfully applied to the determination of trace SMZ in real samples with satisfactory recoveries (86.47-113.52%) and a relative standard deviation (<6.51). Consequently, the Eu-MOFs@SMZ-Apt ratiometric fluorescence sensor furnishes new possibilities for the accurate detection of various pollutants in food.

The removal of toxic heavy metal ions from wastewater is of great significance in the protection of the environment and human health. Poly(gamma-glutamic acid) (PGA) is a non-toxic, biodegradable, and highly water-soluble polymer possessing carboxyl and imino functional groups. Herein, water-insoluble PGA-based hydrogels were prepared, characterized, and investigated as heavy metal adsorbents. The prepared hydrogels were recyclable and exhibited good adsorption effects on heavy metal ions including Cu2+, Cr6+, and Zn2+. The effects of adsorption parameters including temperature, solution pH, initial concentration of metal ions, and contact time on the adsorption capacity of the hydrogel for Cu2+ were investigated. The adsorption was a spontaneous and exothermic process. The process followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, implying a physical and monolayer adsorption. The adsorption mechanisms investigation exhibited that Cu2+ adsorbed on the hydrogel via electrostatic interactions with anionic carboxylate groups of PGA in addition to the coordination interactions with the -NH groups. Importantly, the PGA hydrogel exhibited good reusability and the adsorption capability for Cu2+ remained high after five consecutive cycles. The properties of PGA hydrogel make it a potential candidate material for heavy metal ion removal in wastewater treatment.
RESUMO
There are numerous studies on the application of soybean whey protein in three-dimensional (3D) printing. In this study, the effects of soybean meal particles (5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, and 10%) and oil-phase concentrations (70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, and 78%) on the stability and 3D-printing performance of a soybean-meal-based high-internal-phase emulsion were investigated. The results showed that the particle size of the emulsion decreased with increasing soybean meal particle concentration, and that increasing the concentration of the oil phase improved the viscoelasticity of the emulsion. Rheological tests further showed that the higher storage modulus of the emulsion indicated better support and stability. The emulsion with 8% soybean meal-particles and 76% oil-phase concentration exhibited the best printing effect. This study provides an effective solution for the preparation of stabilized high-internal-phase emulsions of soybean meal particles suitable for 3D printing.

The planting area of high-quality indica rice varieties has been growing rapidly in China. However, the storage characteristics of these varieties remains unclear. In this research, different moisture contents (13.5, 14.5, and 15.5%) of high-quality rice (variety Xiadao No.1) were stored at different temperatures (15, 20, 25, and 30°C) for 360 d, and then evaluated for lipid metabolism, redox enzyme activities, fatty acid composition, and sensory attributes. With the prolongation of storage, rice displayed an upward trend in fatty acid value, malondialdehyde content, and cooked rice hardness and a downward trend in contents of total fat and non-starch lipid, peroxidase and catalase activities, and sensory score of cooked rice. The change trends of these quality parameters were aggravated by elevating storage temperature and moisture content. Linoleic acid content of rice generally decreased with prolonged storage. After 300 d of storage, rice with initial moisture content of 13.5% at 30°C showed a fatty acid value of higher than 30 mg KOH/100 g, while rice of other two initial moisture contents reached similar level at 25°C. After the whole storage period, only rice with initial moisture contents of 13.5 and 14.5% stored at 15°C had a sensory score of higher than 60. These results suggested that the aging process of high-quality rice can be inhibited by decreasing the storage temperature and initial moisture content. These results can provide reference for grain storage enterprises to select proper storage condition to store high-quality rice.
RESUMO
In this study, amine vapor-sensitive films with ratiometric fluorescence attributes were developed. The pH-sensitive fluorescein 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid trisodium salt (HPTS) and its tetraphenylethylene derivative (TPB) were selected as ratiometric indicators and incorporated into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix to produce HPTS/TPB-PVA films. The films responded well to amine vapors, and the interference of aromatic vapors did not substantially affect the fluorescence signals of the films. Under UV light at a wavelength of 365â¯nm, the fluorescence of the films changed from dark pink to light pink and finally to yellow when the freshness of the fish was visually checked during storage. In addition, the color difference values of the films showed a positive correlation with the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), ranging from 12.7 to 24.8â¯mg/100â¯g at 25⯰C and 8.4 to 25.6â¯mg/100â¯g at 4⯰C, respectively. This indicates that fluorescent films have good potential for quantifying fish freshness in the near future when connected to an automatic data processing system based on color differences.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the burden of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) in patients with thalassemia and related risk factors. METHODS: The clinical data and MRI of patients with thalassemia were retrospectively analyzed, and non-thalassemia controls with matched sex and age were selected. The modified MRI burden of CSVD included recent small subcortical infarct, presumed vasogenic white matter hyperintensity, presumed vasogenic lacunae, perivascular space (PVS), and brain atrophy. RESULTS: This study included 110 patients in each of the thalassemia and control groups. There was no significant difference in sex, age, and common cerebrovascular disease risk factors between the 2 groups. The patients with thalassemia had a higher red blood cell count and lower content of hemoglobin. The PVS and modified MRI burden scores in the thalassemia group were higher than in the control group. With the increase in age, patients with thalassemia have a more severe CSVD burden. CONCLUSION: Patients with thalassemia have a heavier modified MRI burden of CSVD than non-thalassemia patients, particularly PVS, and aging is an important risk factor for CSVD changes.

Quantum dot nanobeads (QBs) were used as signal source to develop competitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for the detection of chloramphenicol (CAP). The quantitative detection of CAP was achieved by calculating the total color difference (∆E) values of the test line (T line) using the images of test strips. QB-based LFIA (QBs-LFIA) allowed the effective dynamic linear detection of CAP in the range of 0.1-1.5 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) was 3.0 ng/mL, which was 50 and 667 times lower than those achieved for two different brands of colloidal gold kits. The recoveries of CAP during real-sample detection were 82.82-104.91% at spiked levels of 0.1, 0.7, and 1.5 ng/mL. These results indicate that the developed QBs-LFIA facilitates the sensitive detection of CAP.

This study aimed to determine the association of blood lipid and insulin levels with the development of prediabetes. In this prospective cohort study, we collected and analyzed data related to demographic characteristics, lipid profiles, and insulin parameters at baseline (2008-2012) and at follow-up (2019-2020). A total of 1205 participants were included. The study found that maintained or elevated Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMO-IR) score and elevated triglyceride (TG) levels from baseline to follow-up were associated with an increased risk of prediabetes. However, the interaction between blood lipids and insulin had no significant effect on the risk of prediabetes. Our findings indicate that elevated TG or HOMA-IR levels are associated with an increased risk of prediabetes. These findings emphasize the need to formulate initiatives that can help reduce dyslipidemia to prevent the onset of prediabetes and diabetes.

Neoadjuvant immune-checkpoint blockade therapy only benefits a limited fraction of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Thus, targeting other immunomodulators on myeloid cells is an attractive therapeutic option. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics of patients with GBM treated with neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy. We identified unique monocyte-derived tumor-associated macrophage subpopulations with functional plasticity that highly expressed the immunosuppressive SIGLEC9 gene and preferentially accumulated in the nonresponders to anti-PD-1 treatment. Deletion of Siglece (murine homolog) resulted in dramatically restrained tumor development and prolonged survival in mouse models. Mechanistically, targeting Siglece directly activated both CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells through antigen presentation, secreted chemokines and co-stimulatory factor interactions. Furthermore, Siglece deletion synergized with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment to improve antitumor efficacy. Our data demonstrated that Siglec-9 is an immune-checkpoint molecule on macrophages that can be targeted to enhance anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapeutic efficacy for GBM treatment.

BACKGROUND: Celiac disease (CeD) is a primary malabsorption syndrome with no specific therapy, which greatly affects the quality of life. Since the pathogenesis of CeD remains riddled, based on multiple transcriptome profiles, this study aimed to establish an immune interaction network and elucidated new mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of CeD, providing potentially new evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of CeD. METHODS: Three microarray and three RNA sequencing datasets of human duodenal tissue with or without CeD were included in Gene Expression Omnibus and respectively merged into derivation and validation cohorts. Differential expression gene and functional enrichment analysis were developed, then pyroptosis enrichment score (PES) model was established to quantify pyroptosis levels. Immune infiltration and co-expression network were constructed based on Xcell database. Protein-protein interaction and weighted gene co-expression network analysis were determined to identify pyroptosis relative hub genes, whose predictive efficiency were tested using a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model. CeD animal and in vitro cell line models were established to verify the occurrence of pyroptosis and molecules expression employing immunofluorescence, western blotting, cell counting kit-8 assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Analysis of single-cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) was performed using "Seurat" R package. RESULTS: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (137) were identified in derivation cohort whose function was mainly enriched in interferon response and suppression of metabolism. Since an enrichment of pyroptosis pathway in CeD was unexpectedly discovered, a PES model with high efficiency was constructed and verified with two external databases, which confirmed that pyroptosis was significantly upregulated in CeD epithelia. γδT cells exhibited high expression of IFN-γ were the most relevant cells associated with pyroptosis and occupied a greater weight in the LASSO predictive model of CeD. An accumulation of GSDMD expressed in epithelia was identified using scRNAseq, while animal model and in vitro experiments confirmed that epithelium cells were induced to become "pre-pyroptotic" status via IFN-γ/IRF1/GSDMD axis. Furthermore, gluten intake triggered pyroptosis via caspase-1/GSDMD/IL-1ß pathway. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that pyroptosis was involved in the pathogenesis of CeD, and elucidated the novel role of γδT cells in mediating epithelial cell pyroptosis.

Members of the Sarbecovirus subgenus of Coronaviridae have twice caused deadly threats to humans. There is increasing concern about the rapid mutation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has evolved into multiple generations of epidemic variants in 3 years. Broad neutralizing antibodies are of great importance for pandemic preparedness against SARS-CoV-2 variants and divergent zoonotic sarbecoviruses. Here, we analyzed the structural conservation of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) from representative sarbecoviruses and chose S2H97, a previously reported RBD antibody with ideal breadth and resistance to escape, as a template for computational design to enhance the neutralization activity and spectrum. A total of 35 designs were purified for evaluation. The neutralizing activity of a large proportion of these designs against multiple variants was increased from several to hundreds of times. Molecular dynamics simulation suggested that extra interface contacts and enhanced intermolecular interactions between the RBD and the designed antibodies are established. After light and heavy chain reconstitution, AI-1028, with five complementarity determining regions optimized, showed the best neutralizing activity across all tested sarbecoviruses, including SARS-CoV, multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants, and bat-derived viruses. AI-1028 recognized the same cryptic RBD epitope as the parental prototype antibody. In addition to computational design, chemically synthesized nanobody libraries are also a precious resource for rapid antibody development. By applying distinct RBDs as baits for reciprocal screening, we identified two novel nanobodies with broad activities. These findings provide potential pan-sarbecovirus neutralizing drugs and highlight new pathways to rapidly optimize therapeutic candidates when novel SARS-CoV-2 escape variants or new zoonotic coronaviruses emerge. IMPORTANCE The subgenus Sarbecovirus includes human SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and hundreds of genetically related bat viruses. The continuous evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has led to the striking evasion of neutralizing antibody (NAb) drugs and convalescent plasma. Antibodies with broad activity across sarbecoviruses would be helpful to combat current SARS-CoV-2 mutations and longer term animal virus spillovers. The study of pan-sarbecovirus NAbs described here is significant for the following reasons. First, we established a structure-based computational pipeline to design and optimize NAbs to obtain more potent and broader neutralizing activity across multiple sarbecoviruses. Second, we screened and identified nanobodies from a highly diversified synthetic library with a broad neutralizing spectrum using an elaborate screening strategy. These methodologies provide guidance for the rapid development of antibody therapeutics against emerging pathogens with highly variable characteristics.
