RESUMO
mRNA incorporated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) became a new class of vaccine modality for induction of immunity against COVID-19 and ushered in a new era in vaccine development. Here, we report a novel, easy-to-execute, and cost effective engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs)-based combined mRNA and protein vaccine platform (EVX-M+P vaccine) and explore its utility in proof-of-concept immunity studies in the settings of cancer and infectious disease. As a first example, we engineered EVs to contain ovalbumin mRNA and protein (EVOvaM+P) to serve as cancer vaccine against ovalbumin-expressing melanoma tumors. EVOvaM+P administration to mice with established melanoma tumors resulted in tumor regression associated with effective humoral and adaptive immune responses. As a second example, we generated engineered EVs, natural nanoparticle carriers shed by all cells, that contain mRNA and protein Spike (S) protein to serve as a combined mRNA and protein vaccine (EVSpikeM+P vaccine) against SARS-CoV-2 infection. EVSpikeM+P vaccine administration in mice and baboons elicited robust production of neutralizing IgG antibodies against RBD (receptor binding domain) of S protein and S protein specific T cell responses. Our proof-of-concept study describes a new platform with an ability for rapid development of combination mRNA and protein vaccines employing EVs for deployment against cancer and other diseases.
RESUMO
Nitrogen, as an essential nutrient, largely contributes to the coastal eutrophication. However, the accurate depiction and evaluation of how external loadings, hydrodynamics, and biogeochemical reactions mediate the occurrence, transport, and transformation of nitrate (NO3-) within coastal embayment still pose ongoing challenges to date. In this study, we took advantage of dual isotopes of NO3- to track external NO3- loadings, radium and dual isotopes of H2O to characterize the influences of hydrodynamic on NO3- transport, δ18O-NO3- and δ18O-H2O along with microbial analysis to explore major NO3- biogeochemical reactions in Tolo Harbour, Hong Kong. The multiple isotopic evidence showed that NO3- in surface harbour water was predominantly contributed by precipitation in wet season and its impact was strengthened by stratification. In dry season, NO3- in the surface harbour water became largely influenced by benthic input and biogeochemical reactions due to intensified vertical mixing. Based on NO3- mass balance model, biogeochemical reaction, especially nitrification, was found to be the major process to secure the closure of NO3- budget and increase NO3- inventory from wet to dry season. Hydrodynamics redistributed the external NO3- loadings and mediated nitrogen biogeochemical reactions, both of which further synergistically regulated the fate of NO3- in the embayment.
RESUMO
Defective carbon nitride (DCN-x) was synthesized through a dual-surface engineering process consisting of nitric acid treatment followed by high-temperature calcination. This process endowed DCN-x with a porous structure and a larger surface area than that of pure graphite carbon nitride (CN), enhancing its visible light absorption and reducing the electron-hole recombination rate. Consequently, DCN-x demonstrated a significantly more efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, with the optimum sample, DCN-600, achieving an activity 55.9 times greater than that of pure CN, while maintaining excellent photocatalytic stability. Furthermore, the presence of tri-s-triazine (heptazine) structures within the CN's in-plane structure was identified as a critical factor for band gap optimization, suggesting new avenues for the synthesis of carbon nitride variants with enhanced photocatalytic performance.
RESUMO
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals heterostructures that embody the electronic characteristics of each constituent material have found extensive applications. Alloy engineering further enables the modulation of the electronic properties in these structures. Consequently, we envisage the construction and modulation of composition-dependent antiambipolar transistors (AATs) using van der Waals heterostructures and alloy engineering to advance multivalued inverters. In this work, we calculate the electron structures of SnSe2(1-x)S2x alloys and determine the energy band alignment between SnSe2(1-x)S2x and 2H-MoTe2. We present a series of vertical AATs based on the SnSe2(1-x)S2x/MoTe2 type-III van der Waals heterostructure. These transistors exhibit composition-dependent antiambipolar characteristics through the van der Waals heterostructure, except for the SnSe2/MoTe2 transistor. The peak current (Ipeak) decreases from 43 nA (x = 0.25) to 0.8 nA (x = 1) at Vds = -2 V, while the peak-to-valley current ratio (PVR) increases from 4.5 (x = 0.25) to 6.7 × 103 (x = 1) with a work window ranging from 30 to 47 V. Ultimately, we successfully apply several specific SnSe2(1-x)S2x/MoTe2 devices in binary and ternary logic inverters. Our results underscore the efficacy of alloy engineering in modulating the characteristics of AATs, offering a promising strategy for the development of multivalued logic devices.
RESUMO
In this paper, tiger nut oil-loaded microcapsules (TNOMs) were prepared by complexation soybean protein isolate (SPI) and maltodextrin (MD) as wall materials using the spray drying method with tiger nut oil (TNO) as the core material, and its physicochemical properties and stabilities were characterized and analyzed. Under the optimum conditions, the encapsulation efficiency (EE) of TNOMs could reach up to 91.23%. Of note, after 60 days of storage at 60 °C, the peroxide value (PV) of TNO was almost 21.8 times as much as that of TNO encapsulated. Furthermore, TNOMs had good thermal stability below 200 °C and are sufficient for the general food processing needs. By fitting Arrhenius oxidation kinetics model, it was predicted that the shelf life of the product stored at 25 °C was 352.48 d. Therefore, it is promised to be applied to the development of high oleic acid food in the future. This study offered a theoretical framework for utilization and broadening the range of applications of TNO in the food industry.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To investigate the impact of the tumor microenvironment (TME) on the responsiveness to chemotherapy in ovarian cancer (OV). METHODS: We integrated single cell RNA-seq datasets of OV containing chemo-response information, and characterize their clusters based on different TME sections. We focus on analyzing cell-cell communication to elaborate on the mechanisms by which different components of the TME directly influence the chemo-response of tumor cells. RESULTS: scRNA-seq datasets were annotated according to specific markers for different cell types. Differential analysis of malignant epithelial cells revealed that chemoresistance was associated with the TME. Notably, distinct TME components exhibited varying effects on chemoresistance. Enriched SPP1+ tumor-associated macrophages in chemo-resistant patients could promote chemoresistance through SPP1 binding to CD44 on tumor cells. Additionally, the overexpression of THBS2 in stromal cells could promote chemoresistance through binding with CD47 on tumor cells. In contrast, GZMA in the lymphocytes could downregulate the expression of PARD3 through direct interaction with PARD3, thereby attenuating chemoresistance in tumor cells. CONCLUSION: Our study indicates that the non-tumor cell components of the TME (e.g. SPP1+ TAMs, stromal cells and lymphocytes) can directly impact the chemo-response of OV and targeting the TME was potentially crucial in chemotherapy of OV.
RESUMO
Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase 2 (ROCK2) is classified as a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family and has been identified as a key driver of the development of various forms of cancer. The cause of ROCK2's impact on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is still unknown. We found that ROCK2 expression was higher in AML patients, leading to lower complete response rates and worse overall survival. Additionally, ROCK2 expression was elevated in the doxorubicin-resistant leukemia cell line HL-60/ADM when compared to their individual parent cells. Moreover, the suppression or inhibition of ROCK2 leads to enhanced drug sensitivity in both AML cell lines and primary AML specimens, along with a notable decrease in downstream signaling pathways. Furthermore, the suppression of ROCK2 caused disruption of cellular energy production pathways by directly affecting the functionality of proteins within the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Finally, we discovered that TRIM26, a specific E3 ligase, is capable of ubiquitylating ROCK2, and the upregulation of TRIM26 within HL-60/ADM cells resulted in heightened sensitivity to the drug and reduced resistance. Thus, our study presents a new strategy for overcoming drug resistance in AML through targeting ROCK2/AKT/MAPK signaling pathway.
RESUMO
To investigate the clinical effects and application value of self-made disseminating and descending breathing exercises on home rehabilitation of patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Seeking to generate concepts for creating novel, convenient, and efficient COPD prognosis rehabilitation exercises aimed at enhancing the well-being and rehabilitation confidence of both COPD patients and their families. A total of 70 COPD patients admitted to our outpatient department from July 2019 to September 2021 were randomly divided into the exercise group (n = 35) and the control group (n = 35). The control group received routine breathing training, while the exercise group was treated with self-made disseminating and descending breathing exercises. The respiratory function, including pulmonary function (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC) and respiratory muscle strength (MIP, MEP), exercise tolerance (6-min walking distance, 6MWT), Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC, Borg), COPD quality of life score (CAT, SGRQ), anxiety and depression scores (HAMA, HAMD) were compared between the two groups after 12-week exercise. After 12-week training, the FEV1, MIP, and MEP in the exercise group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.001), and the 6MWT was significantly increased in the exercise group compared to the control group (p < 0.001); while the mMRC, Borg score, the scores of CAT, SGRQ, HAMA, and HAMD were found significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.001). The self-made disseminating and descending breathing exercises can improve respiratory function and reduce symptoms of dyspnea in COPD patients, while enhancing exercise tolerance and relieving anxiety and depression, and are worthy of clinical application.

Supramolecular materials have been assembled using a wide range of interactions, including the hydrophobic effect, DNA base-pairing, and hydrogen bonding. Specifically, DNA amphiphiles with a hydrophobic building block self-assemble into diverse morphologies depending on the length and composition of both blocks. Herein, we take advantage of the orthogonality of different supramolecular interactions - the hydrophobic effect, Watson-Crick-Franklin base pairing and RNA kissing loops - to create hierarchical self-assemblies with controlled morphologies on both the nanometer and the micrometer scales. Assembly through base-pairing leads to the formation of hybrid, multi-phasic hydrogels with high stiffness and self-healing properties. Assembly via hydrophobic core interactions gives anisotropic, discrete assemblies, where DNA fibers with one sequence are terminated with DNA spheres bearing different sequences. This work opens new avenues for the bottom-up construction of DNA-based materials, with promising applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and the creation of complex DNA structures from a minimum array of components.
RESUMO
Cholestatic liver disease is a group of diseases in which bile acid accumulates in the liver for various reasons, resulting in abnormal liver biochemical indicators and histological damage. Cholestasis can be divided into intrahepatic cholestasis and extrahepatic cholestasis, which will contribute to liver damage and progress to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis are the two most typical cholestatic liver diseases. Ursodeoxycholic acid is currently the first-line treatment for PBC, while obeticholic acid, budesonide and fibrates have also shown good potential in the treatment of PBC. There are currently no official drugs approved to treat primary sclerosing cholangitis, and the use of ursodeoxycholic acid may have certain clinical benefits. At present, progress has been made in new treatment directions for cholestatic liver disease, including fibroblast growth factor 19, cholestyramine, S-adenosyl-L-methionine, steroid drugs, farnesoid X receptor agonists, and more. Considerable progress has been made in the management of cholestatic liver disease but there are still many opportunities and challenges. In this review, we summarized the recommended guidelines for the management of cholestatic disease and the progress of new drug research and development, in order to provide an important reference for the clinical practice of cholestatic liver disease.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has gained extensive application in the treatment of lymphoma and multiple myeloma (MM). Plenty of studies demonstrate that peripheral blood indicators could be considered potential predictive biomarkers for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) collection efficiency, including white blood cell count (WBC), monocyte count (Mono), platelet count (PLT), hematocrit, and hemoglobin levels. Currently, clinically practical predictive models based on these peripheral detection indicators to quickly, conveniently, and accurately predict collection efficiency are lacking. METHODS: In total, 139 patients with MM and lymphoma undergoing mobilization and collection of ASCT were retrospectively studied. The study endpoint was successful collection of autologous HSCs. We analyzed the effects of clinical characteristics and peripheral blood markers on collection success, and screened variables to establish a prediction model. We determined the optimal cutoff value of peripheral blood markers for predicting successful stem cell collection and the clinical value of a multi-marker prediction approach. We also established a prediction model for collection efficacy. RESULTS: Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that the mobilization regimen, Mono, PLT, mononuclear cell count (MNC), and peripheral blood CD34+ cell count (PB CD34+ counts) were significant predictors of successful collection of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). Two predictive models were constructed based on the results of multivariate logistic analyses. Model 1 included the mobilization regimen, Mono, PLT, and MNC, whereas Model 2 included the mobilization regimen, Mono, PLT, MNC, and PB CD34+ counts. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the PB CD34+ counts, Model 1, and Model 2 could predict successful HSCs collection, with cutoff values of 26.92 × 106/L, 0.548, and 0.355, respectively. Model 1 could predict successful HSCs collection with a sensitivity of 84.62%, specificity of 75.73%, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.863. Model 2 could predict successful HSCs collection with a sensitivity of 83.52%, specificity of 94.17%, and AUC of 0.946; thus, it was superior to the PB CD34+ counts alone. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the combination of the mobilization regimen, Mono, PLT, MNC, and PB CD34+ counts before collection has predictive value for the efficacy of autologous HSCs collection in patients with MM and lymphoma. Using models based on these predictive markers may help to avoid over-collection and improve patient outcomes.
RESUMO
Rising ocean temperatures, a consequence of anthropogenic climate change, are increasing the frequency, intensity, and magnitude of extreme marine heatwaves (MHWs). These persistent anomalous warming events can have severe ecological and socioeconomic impacts, threatening ecologically and economically vital organisms such as bivalves and the ecosystems they support. Developing robust environmental and social frameworks to enhance the resilience and adaptability of bivalve aquaculture is critical to ensuring the sustainability of this crucial food source. This review synthesizes the current understanding of the physiological and ecological impacts of MHWs on commercially important bivalve species farmed globally. We propose an integrated risk assessment framework that encompasses environmental monitoring, farm-level preparedness planning, and community-level social support systems to safeguard bivalve aquaculture. Specifically, we examine heatwave prediction models, local mitigation strategies, and social programs that could mitigate the impacts on bivalve farms and vulnerable coastal communities economically dependent on this fishery. At the farm level, adaptation strategies such as selective breeding for heat-tolerant strains, optimized site selection, and adjustments to culture practices can improve survival outcomes during MHWs. Robust disease surveillance and management programs are essential for early detection and rapid response. Furthermore, we highlight the importance of stakeholder engagement, knowledge exchange, and collaborative governance in developing context-specific, inclusive, and equitable safeguard systems. Proactive measures, such as advanced forecasting tools like the California Current Marine Heat Wave Tracker developed by NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center, enable preemptive action before losses occur. Coordinated preparation and response, underpinned by continuous monitoring and adaptive management, promise to protect these climate-vulnerable food systems and coastal communities. However, sustained research, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration are imperative to navigate the challenges posed by our rapidly changing oceans.

The implementation of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) raises concerns regarding their potential toxic effects on human health. Although more and more researches have confirmed the toxic effects of ZnO NPs, limited attention has been given to their impact on the early embryonic nervous system. This study aimed to explore the impact of exposure to ZnO NPs on early neurogenesis and explore its underlying mechanisms. We conducted experiments here to confirm the hypothesis that exposure to ZnO NPs causes neural tube defects in early embryonic development. We first used mouse and chicken embryos to confirm that ZnO NPs and the Zn2+ they release are able to penetrate the placental barrier, influence fetal growth and result in incomplete neural tube closure. Using SH-SY5Y cells, we determined that ZnO NPs-induced incomplete neural tube closure was caused by activation of various cell death modes, including ferroptosis, apoptosis and autophagy. Moreover, dissolved Zn2+ played a role in triggering widespread cell death. ZnO NPs were accumulated within mitochondria after entering cells, damaging mitochondrial function and resulting in the over production of reactive oxygen species, ultimately inducing cellular oxidative stress. The N-acetylcysteine (NAC) exhibits significant efficacy in mitigating cellular oxidative stress, thereby alleviating the cytotoxicity and neurotoxicity brought about by ZnO NPs. These findings indicated that the exposure of ZnO NPs in early embryonic development can induce cell death through oxidative stress, resulting in a reduced number of cells involved in early neural tube closure and ultimately resulting in incomplete neural tube closure during embryo development. The findings of this study could raise public awareness regarding the potential risks associated with the exposure and use of ZnO NPs in early pregnancy.

Objective: The current study aimed to assess the relationships between oxidative balance score (OBS) and OBS subclasses (dietary and lifestyle OBS) with risks of hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout among American adults. Methods: Participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2018 were initially recruited and then the final sample was restricted to adults without missing values about serum uric acid, gout, OBS, and covariates. Rao-Scott adjusted chi-square test and analysis of variance were utilized to compare the baseline characteristics in adults of different quartiles of OBS, while the weighted stepped logistic regression models were used to explore the associations of overall, dietary, and lifestyle OBS with the risks of HUA and gout. Weighted restricted cubic spline analyses were conducted to explore the nonlinear dose-response associations. Results: The final sample consisted of 22,705 participants aged 20 years and older, which was representative of approximately 197.3 million non-institutionalized American adults. HUA and gout prevalence decreased with OBS quartiles. Compared with adults in the first quartile of OBS, those in the second (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.72-0.99), third (OR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.58-0.85), and fourth (OR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.38-0.61) quartiles of OBS had reduced risks of hyperuricemia. Similarly, adults in the second (OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.51-0.97) quartile of OBS was associated with lower gout risk in comparison to adults in the lowest quartile. Regarding OBS subclasses, dietary and lifestyle OBS were both negatively correlated with the risk of HUA, and only higher lifestyle OBS was significantly associated with lower gout risk. Furthermore, the subgroup analyses and interaction effects also substantiated similar effects. Significant nonlinear dose-response relationships were observed between overall, dietary, and lifestyle OBS with HUA risk as well as that of lifestyle OBS with gout risk. Conclusion: This study strongly suggests the significant negative associations of OBS with HUA and gout in American adults and provides a dietary and lifestyle guideline to reduce the risks.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hesperidin on the liver and kidney dysfunctions induced by nickel. The mice were divided into six groups: nickel treatment with 80 mg/kg, 160 mg/kg, 320 mg/kg hesperidin groups, 0.5% CMC-Na group, nickel group, and blank control group. Histopathological techniques, biochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and the TUNEL method were used to study the changes in structure, functions, oxidative injuries, and apoptosis of the liver and kidney. The results showed that hesperidin could alleviate the weight loss and histological injuries of the liver and kidney induced by nickel, and increase the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (GPT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) in liver and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr) and N-acetylglucosidase (NAG) in kidney. In addition, hesperidin could increase the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the liver and kidney, decrease the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and inhibit cell apoptosis. It is suggested that hesperidin could help inhibit the toxic effect of nickel on the liver and kidney.
RESUMO
The Sm3+ doped SrO-Nb2O5-Al2O3-Ga2O3-SiO2 glasses in this work were prepared using the conventional melt quenching method. The effects of Al2O3/Ga2O3 ratio on the structure and orange light emission properties were studied by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, spectrophotometer and J-O theory, respectively. With the increase of Al2O3 content, the absorption coefficient of the glass sample gradually increases, which might be attributed to an increase in non-bridged oxygen bonds caused by a change in the glass network structure. Under 403 nm excitation, the emission spectra show clear peaks at 602 nm and 649 nm, representing the 4G5/2 â 6H7/2, and 4G5/2 â 6H9/2 transitions, respectively. When the Al2O3/Ga2O3 ratio is 0.25, the sample luminescence intensity is the highest, and the emission cross section of A2 glass sample is 4.34 × 10-22 cm2. The CIE color coordinates, color purity, and color temperature values of all samples were determined, and they were all located in the orange-red light region. The experiments results reveal that the prepared silica-aluminum-gallium glasses has a potential application prospect in orange-red LEDs, solid state lasers and other fields.
RESUMO
(1) Background: Mitochondrial genomes are important markers for the study of phylogenetics and systematics. Triozidae includes some primary pests of Populus euphratica. The phylogenetic relationships of this group remain controversial due to the lack of molecular data. (2) Methods: Mitochondria of Egeirotrioza Boselli were sequenced and assembled. We analyzed the sequence length, nucleotide composition, and evolutionary rate of Triozidae, combined with the 13 published mitochondrial genomes. (3) Results: The evolutionary rate of protein-coding genes was as follows: ATP8 > ND6 > ND5 > ND2 > ND4 > ND4L > ND1 > ND3 > APT6 > CYTB > COX3 > COX2 > COX1. We reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of Triozidae based on 16 triozid mitochondrial genomes (thirteen ingroups and three outgroups) using the maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) approaches. The phylogenetic analysis of the 16 Triozidae mitochondrial genomes showed that Egeirotrioza was closely related to Leptynoptera. (4) Conclusions: We have identified 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 1 control region (CR) of all newly sequenced mitochondrial genomes, which were the mitochondrial gene type in animals. The results of this study provide valuable genomic information for the study of psyllid species.

Protein materials gain new functions and applicability through redesigns in protein structure and engineering confer. However, the application and development of proteins for use in flexible devices that fit in flexible devices that fit the surface of human skin is hindered by their poor wet stability. Here, we described the design of wet-stable materials based on the reconstruction of silk fibroin (SF). The combination of polyamide-amine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) was used as a traction rope to bring SF molecular chains closer to each other, to facilitate the self-assembly of SF through branching and lengthening of molecular chains, and change its crystalline structure. SF/PAE composite films that exhibited huge improvement in ductility and wet stability were combined with flexible SF substrates via patterning and ion sputtering to prepare flexible sensors. In addition, the SF/PAE sensing system equipped with a microprocessor and Bluetooth module enabled the real-time remote acquisition of human health signals such as vocal cords, joints, pulse and meridians. This reconfiguration of the SF structure will advance the systematic exploration of protein structures and the development of protein materials for intelligent device applications.
