Triglyceride-glucose index and health outcomes: an umbrella review of systematic reviews with meta-analyses of observational studies.

BACKGROUND: Numerous meta-analyses have explored the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and diverse health outcomes, yet the comprehensive assessment of the scope, validity, and quality of this evidence remains incomplete. Our aim was to systematically review and synthesise existing meta-analyses of TyG index and health outcomes and to assess the quality of the evidence. METHODS: A thorough search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases was conducted from their inception through to 8 April 2024. We assessed the quality of reviews using A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) and the certainty of the evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD: 42024518587). RESULTS: Overall, a total of 95 associations from 29 meta-analyses were included, investigating associations between TyG index and 30 health outcomes. Of these, 83 (87.4%) associations were statistically significant (P < 0.05) according to the random effects model. Based on the AMSTAR tool, 16 (55.2%) meta-analyses were high quality and none was low quality. The certainty of the evidence, assessed by the GRADE framework, showed that 6 (6.3%) associations were supported by moderate-quality evidence. When compared with the lowest category of the TyG index, the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) [relative risk (RR) = 2.25, 95%CI 1.82, 2.77], the risk of stroke in patients with diabetes mellitus (RR = 1.26, 95%CI 1.18, 1.33) or with acute coronary syndrome disease (RR = 1.56, 95%CI 1.06, 2.28), the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD)-non-fatal MI (RR = 2.02, 95%CI 1.32, 3.10), and the severity of CAD including coronary artery stenosis (RR = 3.49, 95%CI 1.71, 7.12) and multi-vessel CAD (RR = 2.33, 95%CI 1.59, 3.42) increased with high TyG index. CONCLUSION: We found that the TyG index was positively associated with many diseases including the risk of CIN and stroke, the prognosis of CAD, and the severity of CAD which were supported by moderate-quality evidence. TyG index might be useful to identify people at high-risk for developing these diseases.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Asymmetric Deuteration of α-Amidoacrylates for Stereoselective Synthesis of α,ß-Dideuterated α-Amino Acids.

A cobalt-catalyzed deuteration of amidoacrylates using deuterated methanol afforded α,ß-dideuterio-α-amino esters in excellent enantiomeric ratios (mostly >95 : 5) and almost complete deuteration (99 %). The new protocol was used to prepare dideuterio-α-amino acid fragments in some drugs. Furthermore, the stereoselective deuteration was applied in a concise synthesis of dideuterio l-DOPA.

Body Weight-Supported Treadmill Training Ameliorates Motoneuronal Hyperexcitability by Increasing GAD-65/67 and KCC2 Expression via TrkB Signaling in Rats with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury.

Spasticity is a typical consequence after spinal cord injury (SCI). The critical reasons are reducing the synthesis of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), glycine and potassium chloride co-transporter 2 (KCC2) inside the distal spinal cord. The current work aimed to test whether exercise training could increase the expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65/67 (GAD-65/67, the key enzymes in GABA synthesis) and KCC2 in the distal spinal cord via tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) signaling. The experimental rats were randomly assigned to the following five groups: Sham, SCI/phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), SCI-treadmill training (TT)/PBS, SCI/TrkB-IgG, and SCI-TT/TrkB-IgG. After that, the model of T10 contusion SCI was used, then TrkB-IgG was used to prevent TrkB activity at 7 days post-SCI. Body weight-supported treadmill training started on the 8th day post-SCI for four weeks. The Hmax/Mmax ratio and the rate-dependent depression of H-reflex were used to assess the excitability of spinal motoneuronal networks. Western blotting and Immunohistochemistry techniques were utilized for measuring the expression of GAD-65, GAD-67, and KCC2. The findings revealed that exercise training could reduce motoneuronal excitability and boost GAD-65, GAD-67, and KCC2 production in the distal region of the spinal cord after SCI. The effects of exercise training were decreased after the TrkB signaling was inhibited. The present exploration demonstrated that exercise training increases GAD-65, GAD-67, and KCC2 expression in the spinal cord via TrkB signaling and that this method could also improve rats with motoneuronal hyperexcitability and spasticity induced by incomplete SCI.

Highly Sensitive Near-Infrared Imaging of Peroxynitrite Fluxes in Inflammation Progress.

Inflammation is an important protection reaction in living organisms associated with many diseases. Since peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is engaged in the inflammatory processes, illustrating the key nexus between ONOO- and inflammation is significant. Due to the lack of sensitive ONOO- in vivo detection methods, the research still remains at its infancy. Herein, a highly sensitive NIR fluorescence probe DDAO-PN for in vivo detection of ONOO- in inflammation progress was reported. The probe responded to ONOO- with significant NIR fluorescence enhancement at 657 nm (84-fold) within 30 s in solution. Intracellular imaging of exogenous ONOO- with the probe demonstrated a 68-fold fluorescence increase (F/F0). Impressively, the probe can in vivo detect ONOO- fluxes in LPS-induced rear leg inflammation with a 4.0-fold fluorescence increase and LPS-induced peritonitis with an 8.0-fold fluorescence increase The remarkable fluorescence enhancement and quick response enabled real-time tracking of in vivo ONOO- with a large signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. These results clearly denoted that DDAO-PN was able to be a NIR fluorescence probe for in vivo detection and high-fidelity imaging of ONOO- with high sensitivity and will boost the research of inflammation-related diseases.

Activatable Two-Photon Near-Infrared Fluorescent Probe Tailored toward Peroxynitrite In Vivo Imaging in Tumors.

A malignant tumor remains one of the leading causes of deaths across the world. Thus, diagnosis of tumor development with noninvasive visualizing methods is significant for tumor therapy. Herein, an activatable two-photon NIR fluorescent probe DHQ-Rd-PN for in vivo imaging of peroxynitrite in a tumor was elaborately designed. The probe demonstrated an increased NIR emission in response to peroxynitrite in vitro, which ensured that the probe detects ONOO- in cell and in vivo. Cellular imaging results disclosed that the probe was competent to detect adscititious ONOO- level change in HeLa cells, as well as endogenous ONOO- concentration in lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and IFN-γ-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Additionally, zebrafish in vivo imaging revealed that the probe accumulated in the pancreas and was lightened up by the addition of ONOO-. Remarkably, the probe can be harnessed to image an ONOO- production profile in xenograft 4T1 tumor mice by both one-photon and two-photon in vivo fluorescence imaging. Benefiting with the two-photon excitable properties and NIR emissive properties, the probe can be used for noninvasive in vivo imaging of ONOO- in the onset and development of tumors for the first time. This work provided a noninvasive and efficient detection method for ONOO- in a tumor, which would find more applications in tumor diagnosis and therapies.

A highly specific probe for the imaging of inflammation-induced endogenous nitric oxide produced during the stroke process.

In this study, a turn-on two-photon fluorescent probe (Lyso-TP-NO) for nitric oxide (NO) was developed. It was synthesized using 4-ethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide as the two-photon fluorophore and N-methylaniline moiety as the reaction site. The probe and fluorophore were tested under one- and two-photon modes. The fluorescence intensity of the system was enhanced 23.1-fold after reacting with NO in the one-photon mode. However, the maximal two-photon action cross-section value of 200 GM was obtained under excitation at 840 nm. The probe exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity over other reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), with a detection limit as low as 3.3 nM. The two-photon fluorescence imaging of living cells and mouse brain tissues can capture inflammation-induced endogenous NO production in lysosomes during stroke occurrence.

Effect of melatonin on regeneration of cortical neurons in rats with traumatic brain injury.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of melatonin on regeneration of cortical neurons in rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats (n=36) were randomly divided into sham, TBI+vehicle and TBI+melatonin groups. Cerebral blood flow and cognitive function were observed via laser Doppler flowmetry and by Morris water maze testing, respectively. The serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were used to assess oxidative stress. Immunofluorescence and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling assay was used to observe the newborn neurons and apoptotic cells. RESULTS: Cerebral blood flow in the TBI+melatonin group was higher than that of the TBI+vehicle group at one, 12, 24 and 48 h post-injury, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The cognitive function of the rats was better in the TBI+melatonin group than the TBI+vehicle group (P.

A highly specific and ultrasensitive probe for the imaging of inflammation-induced endogenous hypochlorous acid.

A turn-on two-photon fluorescent probe HCA-Green for hypochlorous acid (HOCl) was synthesized using 4-methylamino-1,8-naphthalimide (MNA) as a two-photon fluorophore and p-hydroxyaniline as a leaving-recognition domain. Both the probe and the fluorophore were investigated under one- and two-photon excitation modes. The fluorescence intensity of the probe was enhanced by ∼229-fold and ∼193-fold under one-photon and two-photon excitation, respectively, after reacting with HOCl. A maximal two-photon action cross-section of 50 GM was obtained under excitation at 810 nm. The probe exhibited high sensitivity with a detection limit of 42.3 nM, as well as high selectivity, low cytotoxicity, and good photostability. Two-photon microscopy (TPM) was conducted to visualize HOCl levels in living cells and tissues. The production of endogenous HOCl induced by lipopolysaccharide-mediated inflammation was successfully monitored with this probe.

Simultaneous voltammetric determination of acetaminophen and dopamine using a glassy carbon electrode modified with copper porphyrin-exfoliated graphene.

Graphene nanosheets (GSs) were prepared via liquid-phase non-covalent exfoliation of graphite powder in N,N-dimethylformamide under the assistance of copper(II) meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin tetrasodium salt Na4(CuTCPP). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with a film of such GSs which, due to the good electrical conductivity of graphene and the electrocatalytic properties of Na4(CuTCPP), is capable of simultaneous determination of acetaminophen (AC) and dopamine (DA). The peak currents, best measured at voltage of 0.2 V (for DA) and 0.4 V (for AC; both vs. SCE), increase linearly in the 0.0024-3.6 µM and 0.004-7.6 µM concentration ranges, respectively. The detection limits are 0.8 nM for DA and 0.7 nM for AC. The sensor was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of AC and DA in pharmaceutical preparations and spiked human serum. The results were in good agreement with those obtained for the same samples by HPLC. Graphical abstract Graphene nanosheets were prepared via a facile liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite with the assistance of copper(II) meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin tetrasodium salt. A graphene nanosheet-film modified glassy carbon electrode was fabricated to determine acetaminophen and dopamine through a simple and effective strategy.

Development of a Silicon-Rhodamine Based Near-Infrared Emissive Two-Photon Fluorescent Probe for Nitric Oxide.

Two-photon (TP) fluorescent probes are potential candidates for near-infrared (NIR) imaging which holds great promise in biological research. However, currently, most TP probes emit at wavelength <600 nm, which impedes their practical applications. In this work, we explored the TP properties of a silicon-rhodamine (SiR) derivative and hence developed the first SiR scaffold based "NIR-to-NIR" TP probe (SiRNO) for nitric oxide (NO). SiRNO exhibited high sensitivity and specificity, as well as fast response for NO detection. It was able to track the subtle variation of intracellular NO content in live cells. Owing to the NIR excitation and emission, SiRNO enabled the detection of NO in situ in the xenograft tumor mouse model, revealing the NO generation during the tumor progression. This work indicates that SiR can be an ideal platform for the development of NIR emissive TP probe and may thus promote the advancement of NIR imaging.

Expression of Sam68 Associates with Neuronal Apoptosis and Reactive Astrocytes After Spinal Cord Injury.

Src-associated in mitosis (Sam68; 68 kDa) is a novel RNA-binding protein that belongs to the signal transduction and activation of RNA family involved in various biological processes. However, the expression and roles of Sam68 in the central nervous system remain unknown. In the present study, we performed a spinal cord injury (SCI) model in adult rats and found a significant increase of Sam68 protein levels in this model, which reached a peak at day 3 and then gradually returned to normal levels at day 14 after SCI. We use immunohistochemistry analysis revealing a widespread distribution of Sam68 in the spinal cord. In addition, double-immunofluorescence staining showed that Sam68 immunoreactivity was found predominantly in neurons and astrocytes. Moreover, colocalization of Sam68/active caspase-3 has been respectively detected in neuronal nuclei, and colocalization of Sam68/PCNA has been detected in glial fibrillary acidic protein. In vitro, we found that depletion of Sam68 by short interfering RNA inhibits neuronal apoptosis and astrocyte proliferation and decreases cyclin D1 protein levels. In conclusion, this is the first study to find the Sam68 expression in SCI. Our results suggest that Sam68 might be illustrated in the apoptosis of neurons and proliferation of astrocytes after SCI. This research will provide new drug targets for clinical treatment of SCI.

[Protective effects of LBP on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in mice and mechanism of inhibiting NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1ß].

To observe the protective effects of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in mice and explore its mechanism. Common carotid artery thread was used to cause middle cerebral artery ischemia, and the thread was taken out after 2 h ischemia to achieve cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in mice. Therefore, the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) models were established to observe the effects of LBP (25,50, 100 mg•kg⁻¹) on neurological outcome, infarct size and water contents. HE staining was used to observe its effects on neurocytes of cerebral tissues in mice. Western blotting was used to evaluate the protein expression levels of NF-κB p65. ELISA was used to evaluate the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1ß in the serum. According to the results, LBP markedly improved neurologic deficits, and decreased infarct size and water contents at 24 h after reperfusion in mice. Pathological section of brain tissues also proved its protective effects on neurocytes. Western blot analysis indicated that LBP markedly down-regulated the protein level of NF-κB p65. ELISA indicated that LBP decreased the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1ß in the serum 24 h after reperfusion.In conclusion, LBP has protective effects on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in mice, and this effect may be associated with inhibiting NF-κB and inflammatory reactions.

Particulate Matter Facilitates C6 Glioma Cells Activation and the Release of Inflammatory Factors Through MAPK and JAK2/STAT3 Pathways.

It has been widely accepted that astrocytes, play a role in regulating almost every physiological system. In the present study, we investigated the role of particulate matter (PM) in regulating activation of astrocytes. The glial cell strain C6 was cloned from a rat glioma which was induced by N-nitrosomethylurea. The C6 cells were plated at a density of 5 × 10(6) cells/10 cm diameter dish and incubated with different concentrations (0, 12, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 400 µg/mL) of PM for 24 h and different time (0, 1, 3, 6, 8,12, and 24 h) with 100 µg/mL at 37 °C. The study revealed that PM stimulated the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) as well as the production of IL-1ß in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, activation of JAK2/STAT3 and p38/JNK/ERK MAPKs was found in astrocytes following PM treatment. Blockage of JAK and p38/JNK/ERK MAPKs with their specific inhibitors, AG490, SB202190, SP600125 and U0126 significantly reduced PM-induced iNOS expression and IL-1ß production. In addition, it was demonstrated that inhibition of p38, JNK and JAK prevented STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation induced by PM, while blocking ERK did not. MAPKs (p38 and JNK) could regulate tyrosine STAT3 phosphorylation, which suggested that the JAK2/STAT3 pathway might be the downstream of p38/JNK MAPK pathways.

MEKK1 Associated with Neuronal Apoptosis Following Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

The JNKs have been implicated in a variety of biological functions in mammalian cells, including apoptosis and the responses to stress. However, the physiological role of these pathways in the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we identified a MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK), MEKK1, may be involved in neuronal apoptosis in the processes of ICH through the activation of JNKs. From the results of western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, we obtained a significant up-regulation of MEKK1 in neurons adjacent to the hematoma following ICH. Increasing MEKK1 level was found to be accompanied with the up-regulation of p-JNK 3, p53, and c-jun. Besides, MEKK1 co-localized well with p-JNK in neurons, indicating its potential role in neuronal apoptosis. What's more, our in vitro study, using MEKK1 siRNA interference in PC12 cells, further confirmed that MEKK1 might exert its pro-apoptotic function on neuronal apoptosis through extrinsic pathway. Thus, MEKK1 may play a role in promoting the brain damage following ICH.

Immunogenicity of a cell culture-derived inactivated vaccine against a common virulent isolate of grass carp reovirus.

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) hemorrhagic disease, caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV), is emerging as a serious problem in grass carp aquaculture. There is no available antiviral therapy and vaccination is the primary method of disease control. In the present study, the immunological effects and protective efficacy of an inactivated HuNan1307 vaccine in grass carp were evaluated. The GCRV isolate HuNan1307 was produced by replication onto the grass carp PSF cell line, and inactivated with 1% ß-propiolactone for 60 h at 4 °C. Grass carp were injected with inactivated GCRV vaccine, followed by challenge with the isolate HuNan1307. The results showed that the minimum dosage of the inactivated vaccine was 10(5.5) TCID50/0.2 mL to induce immune protection. All grass carp immunized with the inactivated vaccine produced a high titer of serum antibodies and GCRV-specific neutralizing antibody. Moreover, the inactivated vaccine injection increased the expression of 6 immune-related genes in the spleen and head kidney, which indicated that a immune response was induced by the HuNan1307 vaccine. In addition, grass carp immunized with the inactivated vaccine showed a survival rate above 80% after the viral challenge, equal to that of grass carp immunized with a commercial attenuated vaccine, and the protection lasted at least for one year. The data in this study suggested that the inactivated HuNan1307 vaccine may represent an efficient method to induce immunity against GCRV infection and the induced disease in grass carp.

Protective Effect of Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) in Rat Model of Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) has invoked considerable interest because of its presence in foods, antioxidant properties, cofactor of dehydrogenase, and amine oxidase. Protective roles of PQQ in central nervous system diseases, such as experimental stroke and spinal cord injury models have been emerged. However, it is unclear whether intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), as an acute devastating disease, can also benefit from PQQ in experimental conditions. Herein, we examined the possible effect of PQQ on neuronal functions following ICH in the adult rats. The results showed that rats pretreated with PQQ at 10 mg/kg effectively improved the locomotor functions, alleviated the hematoma volumes, and reduced the expansion of brain edema after ICH. Also, pretreated rats with PQQ obviously reduced the production of reactive oxygen species after ICH, probably due to its antioxidant properties. Further, we found that, Bcl-2/Bax, the important indicator of oxidative stress insult in mitochondria after ICH, exhibited increasing ratio in PQQ-pretreated groups. Moreover, activated caspase-3, the apoptotic executor, showed coincident alleviation in PQQ groups after ICH. Collectively, we speculated that PQQ might be an effective and potential neuroprotectant in clinical therapy for ICH.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and human health outcomes: An umbrella review of systematic reviews with meta-analyses of observational studies.

BACKGROUND: Although evidence on the association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and human health outcomes has grown exponentially, specific health outcomes and their potential associations with PFASs have not been conclusively evaluated. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive search through the databases of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to February 29, 2024, to identify systematic reviews with meta-analyses of observational studies examining the associations between the PFASs and multiple health outcomes. The quality of included studies was evaluated using the A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) tool, and credibility of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) criteria. The protocol of this umbrella review (UR) had been registered in PROSPERO (CRD 42023480817). RESULTS: The UR identified 157 meta-analyses from 29 articles. Using the AMSTAR measurement tool, all articles were categorized as of moderate-to-high quality. Based on the GRADE assessment, significant associations between specific types of PFASs and low birth weight, tetanus vaccine response, and triglyceride levels showed high certainty of evidence. Moreover, moderate certainty of evidence with statistical significance was observed between PFASs and health outcomes including lower BMI z-score in infancy, poor sperm progressive motility, and decreased risk of preterm birth as well as preeclampsia. Fifty-two (33%) associations (e.g., PFASs and gestational hypertension, cardiovascular disease, etc) presented low certainty evidence. Additionally, eighty-five (55%) associations (e.g., PFASs with infertility, lipid metabolism, etc) presented very low certainty evidence. CONCLUSION: High certainty of evidence supported that certain PFASs were associated with the incidence of low birth weight, low efficiency of the tetanus vaccine, and low triglyceride levels.

Expedient and divergent synthesis of unnatural peptides through cobalt-catalyzed diastereoselective umpolung hydrogenation.

The development of a reliable method for asymmetric synthesis of unnatural peptides is highly desirable and particularly challenging. In this study, we present a versatile and efficient approach that uses cobalt-catalyzed diastereoselective umpolung hydrogenation to access noncanonical aryl alanine peptides. This protocol demonstrates good tolerance toward various functional groups, amino acid sequences, and peptide lengths. Moreover, the versatility of this reaction is illustrated by its successful application in the late-stage functionalization and formal synthesis of various representative chiral natural products and pharmaceutical scaffolds. This strategy eliminates the need for synthesizing chiral noncanonical aryl alanines before peptide formation, and the hydrogenation reaction does not result in racemization or epimerization. The underlying mechanism was extensively explored through deuterium labeling, control experiments, HRMS identification, and UV-Vis spectroscopy, which supported a reasonable CoI/CoIII catalytic cycle. Notably, acetic acid and methanol serve as safe and cost-effective hydrogen sources, while indium powder acts as the terminal electron source.

Argon mitigates post-stroke neuroinflammation by regulating M1/M2 polarization and inhibiting NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.

Neuroinflammation plays a vital role in cerebral ischemic stroke (IS). In the acute phase of IS, microglia are activated toward the pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes. Argon, an inert gas, can reduce neuroinflammation and alleviate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, whether argon regulates M1/M2 polarization to protect against I/R injury as well as the underlying mechanism has not been reported. In this study, we analyzed the activation and polarization of microglia after I/R injury with or without argon administration and explored the effects of argon on NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammation in microglia in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that argon application inhibited the activation of M1 microglia/macrophage in the ischemic penumbra and the expression of proteins related to NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis in microglia. Argon administration also inhibited the expression and processing of IL-1ß, a primary pro-inflammatory cytokine. Thus, argon alleviates I/R injury by inhibiting pro-inflammatory reactions via suppressing microglial polarization toward M1 phenotype and inhibiting the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. More importantly, we showed that argon worked better than the specific NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor MCC950 in suppressing neuroinflammation and protecting against cerebral I/R injury, suggesting the therapeutic potential of argon in neuroinflammation-related neurodegeneration diseases as a potent gas inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.

Advanced aqueous sodium-ion capacitors based on Ni0.25Mn0.75O nanoparticles encapsulated in electrospinning carbon nanofibers.

Manganese oxides are promising cathode material candidates with appropriate positive potential windows for low-cost and safe aqueous sodium-ion capacitors (ASICs). However, their low electrical conductivity issue and the lack of advanced binder-free manganese oxide-based electrodes severely restrict their practical capacitance and application in flexible ASICs. Here, Ni0.25Mn0.75O (NMO) nanoparticles uniformly encapsulated in carbon nanofiber films with excellent flexibility are fabricated by electrospinning and subsequent carbonization. The uniformly amorphous carbon layer enhances the conductivity, avoids dissolution and alleviates the volume or stress change of NMO during ion intercalation or mechanical deformation. More importantly, compared with the flexible electrodes prepared by traditional methods, electrospinning materials can be directly used as binder-free electrodes, which can effectively simplify the process and improve the energy density. Finally, a 2.4 V flexible quasi-solid-state ASIC device is integrated, which exhibits a high energy density of 5.95 mWh cm-3, a high power density of 670 mW cm-3 and an outstanding stability of 1000 cycles. This work offers an effective materials engineering strategy for high-performance binder-free NMO-based cathodes and advanced flexible ASICs.
