Advancing In-Depth N-Terminomics Detection with a Cleavable 2-Pyridinecarboxyaldehyde Probe.

Proteolysis, an irreversible post-translational modification catalyzed by proteases, plays a crucial role in various biological processes. Exploring abnormally hydrolyzed proteins in pathological tissues is a valuable approach for elucidating the mechanisms underlying disease development. Herein, we have developed a cleavable 2-pyridinecarboxyaldehyde probe (2PCA-Probe) that enables efficient and in-depth N-terminomics detection, addressing limitations of previous methods. Furthermore, we unexpectedly discovered a new marker capable of identifying N-terminal chemical labeling with the 2PCA-Probe and elucidated the reaction mechanism. Using this probe, we identified 4686 N-terminal peptides in colorectal cancer and adjacent tissues, significantly expanding the depth of the N-terminome and revealing the potential role of abnormal protein hydrolysis in colorectal cancer development.

Efficient and accurate registration with BWPH descriptor for low-quality point clouds.

Point cloud registration based on local descriptors plays a crucial role in 3D computer vision applications. However, existing methods often suffer from limitations such as low accuracy, a large memory footprint, and slow speed, particularly when dealing with 3D point clouds from low-cost sensors. To overcome these challenges, we propose an efficient local descriptor called Binary Weighted Projection-point Height (BWPH) for point cloud registration. The core idea behind the BWPH descriptor is the integration of Gaussian kernel density estimation with weighted height characteristics and binarization components to encode distinctive information for the local surface. Through extensive experiments and rigorous comparisons with state-of-the-art methods, we demonstrate that the BWPH descriptor achieves high matching accuracy, strong compactness, and feasibility across contexts. Moreover, the proposed BWPH-based point cloud registration successfully registers real datasets acquired by low-cost sensors with small errors, enabling accurate initial alignment positions.

Structural design of an improved SPIDER optical system based on a multimode interference coupler.

The Segmented Planar Imaging Detector for Electro-Optical Reconnaissance (SPIDER) is a small volume, lightweight, low energy consumption, and high-resolution system expected to replace traditional large aperture telescopes for long-distance detection. In this paper, an improved SPIDER system is proposed, which uses a multimode interference (MMI) coupler instead of an orthogonal detector, and successfully doubles the space spectrum coverage. We present a three-point configuring method to configure lenslets, calculate spatial spectrum values from the output currents obtained by MMI. By comparing the performance of the MMI-SPIDER and SPIDER systems through simulations, we demonstrate that the former has more complete spatial spectrum coverage, resulting in better image restoration quality.

Deciphering the Influence of Anionic Electrons of Surface-Functionalized Two-Dimensional Electrides in Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

Using transition metal compounds as sulfur hosts is regarded as a promising approach to suppress the polysulfide shuttle and accelerate redox kinetics for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Herein, we report that a new kind of compound, electrides (exotic ionic crystalline materials in which electrons serve as anions), is efficient sulfur hosts for Li-S batteries for the first time. Based on the first-principles calculations, we found that two-dimensional (2D) electrides M2C (M = Sc, Y) exhibit unprecedentedly strong binding strength toward sulfur species and surface functionalization is necessary to passivate their activity. The 2D electrides modified with the F-functional group exhibit the best performance in terms of the adsorption energy and sulfur reduction process. A comparative study with a nonelectride reveals that the anionic electrons (AEs) of electrides aid in anchoring the soluble polysulfides. These results open an avenue for the application of electrides in Li-S batteries.

MInet: A Novel Network Model for Point Cloud Processing by Integrating Multi-Modal Information.

Three-dimensional LiDAR systems that capture point cloud data enable the simultaneous acquisition of spatial geometry and multi-wavelength intensity information, thereby paving the way for three-dimensional point cloud recognition and processing. However, due to the irregular distribution, low resolution of point clouds, and limited spatial recognition accuracy in complex environments, inherent errors occur in classifying and segmenting the acquired target information. Conversely, two-dimensional visible light images provide real-color information, enabling the distinction of object contours and fine details, thus yielding clear, high-resolution images when desired. The integration of two-dimensional information with point clouds offers complementary advantages. In this paper, we present the incorporation of two-dimensional information to form a multi-modal representation. From this, we extract local features to establish three-dimensional geometric relationships and two-dimensional color relationships. We introduce a novel network model, termed MInet (Multi-Information net), which effectively captures features relating to both two-dimensional color and three-dimensional pose information. This enhanced network model improves feature saliency, thereby facilitating superior segmentation and recognition tasks. We evaluate our MInet architecture using the ShapeNet and ThreeDMatch datasets for point cloud segmentation, and the Stanford dataset for object recognition. The robust results, coupled with quantitative and qualitative experiments, demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed method in point cloud segmentation and object recognition tasks.

[Spatiotemporal Distribution Characteristics of Co-pollution of PM2.5 and Ozone over BTH with Surrounding Area from 2015 to 2021].

PM2.5 and ozone co-pollution, which are harmful to not only human health but also the social economy, has become the pivotal issue in air pollution prevention and synergistic control, especially in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas and "2+26" cities. It is necessary to analyze the correlation between PM2.5 and ozone concentration and explore the mechanism of PM2.5 and ozone co-pollution. In order to study the characteristics of PM2.5 and ozone co-pollution in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei with its surrounding area, ArcGIS and SPSS software were used to analyze the correlation between air quality data and meteorological data of the "2+26" cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas from 2015 to 2021. The results indicated:① PM2.5 pollution constantly decreased from 2015 to 2021, and the pollution was concentrated in the central and southern parts of the region; ozone pollution showed a trend of fluctuation and presented a pattern of "low in the southwest and high in the northeast" spatially. In terms of seasonal variation, PM2.5concentration was mainly in the order of winter>spring ≈ autumn>summer, and O3-8h concentration was in the order of summer>spring>autumn>winter. ② In the research area, days with PM2.5 exceeding the standard continued to decline, whereas days with ozone exceeding the standard fluctuated, and days with co-pollution decreased significantly; there was a strong positive correlation between PM2.5 and ozone concentration in summer, with the highest correlation coefficient of 0.52, and a strong negative correlation in winter. ③ Comparing the meteorological conditions of typical cities during the ozone pollution period with that of the co-pollution period, the co-pollution occurred under the temperature range of 23.7-26.5℃, humidity of 48%-65%, and S-SE wind direction.

Insights into Photoinduced Carrier Dynamics and Overall Water Splitting of Z-Scheme van der Waals Heterostructures with Intrinsic Electric Polarization.

Using first-principles calculations in combination with nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD), we propose novel heterostructures of carbon nitride (C7N6) and the Janus GaSnPS monolayer as promising direct Z-scheme photocatalysts for solar-driven overall water splitting. The out-of-plane electric field due to the electric polarization which is dependent on the stacking pattern alters the band alignment and catalytic activity of the heterostructures. The relatively strong interfacial nonadiabatic coupling and long quantum coherence time accelerate the interlayer carrier recombination, enabling a direct Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism. More importantly, the redox ability of the remanent photogenerated carriers in the Z scheme is strong enough to trigger both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen reduction reaction (OER) simultaneously without the help of sacrificial agents. Our work reveals a fundamental understanding of ultrafast charge carrier dynamics at vdW heterointerfaces as well as new design prospects for highly efficient direct Z-scheme photocatalysts.

Specific interaction of insulin receptor and GLP-1 receptor mediates crosstalk between their signaling.

Both GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and insulin receptor (IR) transmit signals for insulin release and/or cellular metabolism although using distinct sets of transducing molecules and separate pathways. We proposed a possible association of IR and GLP-1R, since they are coexpressed in diverse tissues including the pancreatic ß-cells and crosstalk between their signaling was frequently reported. We showed a specific interaction between GLP-1R and IR which was independent of intracellular receptor domains and not responsive to ligand binding. In signaling, the IRS-1 was coupled more to GLP-1R and less to IR in the receptor complex at IR activation, with subsequent IRS-1 degradation suppressed rather than its activation inhibited. The Gsα recruitment to the activated GLP-1R was inhibited in the GLP-1R/IR complex, with the signaling in cAMP pathway suppressed at IR activation. Therefore, the identified GLP-1R/IR complex recruits their signaling molecules which are differentially modified, leading to a crosstalk between their signaling.

The proportion of HIV disclosure to sexual partners among people diagnosed with HIV in China: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Sexual behavior is one of the main routes of HIV/AIDS spread. HIV disclosure to sexual partners has been confirmed to be an important strategy for HIV/AIDS prevention and control. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to pool proportions and characteristics of HIV disclosure to sexual partners among people diagnosed with HIV in China. Methods: We searched eight databases and extracted the data on HIV disclosure to partners. Heterogeneity of the data was tested with I 2. Published bias subjectively and objectively analyzed through the funnel plot and Egger's regression test. Subgroup analyses were performed to explore the variation in the proportion by sexual partnership types (unclassified, regular, casual sexual partners), whether being men who have sex with men (MSM), and when to diagnose. The sources of heterogeneity were analyzed. Sensitivity analysis was carried out to evaluate the stability of the results. Results: Out of 3,698 studies, 44 were included in the review; 11 targeted on MSM. The pooled proportion of HIV disclosure to sexual partners was 65% (95% CI: 56%-75%; 34 studies). Sub-group analyses indicated the proportions of HIV disclosure to regular, casual and unclassified sexual partners were 63% (95% CI: 45%-81%; 31 studies), 20% (95% CI: 8%-33%; nine studies), and 66% (95% CI: 59%-73%; 14 studies), respectively. Fifty-seven percent (95% CI: 45%-69%; three studies) disclosed on the day of diagnosis, 62% (95% CI: 42%-82%; four studies) disclosed within 1 month, and 39% (95% CI: 2%-77%; four studies) disclosed 1 month later. Among MSM, the disclosure to regular male partners, regular female sexual partners, spouses, and casual partner were 47% (95% CI: 29%-65%; six studies), 49% (95% CI: 33%-65%; three studies), 48% (95% CI: 18%-78%; seven studies), and 34% (95% CI: 19%-49%; four studies), respectively. Conclusions: The disclosure prevalence of people diagnosed with HIV to sexual partners still need improving in China, and it varies among partner types, key populations, and time being diagnosed. HIV disclosure strategies and procedures need to be developed more detailed and tailored based on the pain points of disclosure status, so as to ultimately prevent HIV transmission through sexual contact.

HBO1 catalyzes lysine benzoylation in mammalian cells.

Lysine benzoylation (Kbz) is a newly discovered protein post-translational modification (PTM). This PTM can be stimulated by benzoate and contributes to gene expression. However, its regulatory enzymes and substrate proteins remain largely unknown, hindering further functional studies. Here we identified and validated the lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) HBO1 as a "writer" of Kbz in mammalian cells. In addition, we report the benzoylome in mammalian cells, identifying 1747 Kbz sites; among them at least 77 are the HBO1-targeted Kbz substrates. Bioinformatics analysis showed that HBO1-targeted Kbz sites were involved in multiple processes, including chromatin remodeling, transcription regulation, immune regulation, and tumor growth. Our results thus identify the regulatory elements of the Kbz pathway and reveal the non-canonical enzymatic activity and functions of HBO1 in cellular physiology.

Rational Design of Black Phosphorus-Based Direct Z-Scheme Photocatalysts for Overall Water Splitting: The Role of Defects.

Black phosphorus (BP) has received increasing interest as a promising photocatalyst for water splitting. Nevertheless, exploring the underlying hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) mechanism and improving the water oxidizing ability remains an urgent task. Here, using first-principles calculations, we uncover the role of point defects in improving the HER activity of BP photocatalysts. We demonstrate that the defective phosphorene can be effectively activated by the photoinduced electrons under solar light, exhibiting high HER catalytic activity in a broad pH range (0-10). Besides, we propose that the direct Z-scheme in the defective BP/SnSe2 heterobilayer is quite feasible for photocatalytic overall water splitting. This mechanism could be further verified based on the excited state dynamics method. The role of point defects in the photocatalytic mechanism provides useful insights for the development of BP photocatalysts.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production and storage in carbon nanotubes: a first-principles study.

As it is a promising clean energy source, the production and storage of hydrogen are crucial techniques. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we proposed an integral strategy for the production and storage of hydrogen in carbon nanotubes via photocatalytic processes. We considered a core-shell structure formed by placing a carbon nitride nanowire inside a carbon nanotube to achieve this goal. Photo-generated holes on the carbon nanotube surface promote water splitting. Driven by intrinsic electrostatic field in the core-shell structures, protons produced by water splitting penetrate the carbon nanotube and react with photo-generated electrons on the carbon nitride nanowire to produce hydrogen molecules in the carbon nanotube. Because carbon nanotubes have high hydrogen storage capacity, this core-shell structure can serve as a candidate system for photocatalytic water splitting and safe hydrogen storage.

Physical Activity and Cognition in Sedentary Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic evidence suggests that physical activity benefits cognition, but results from randomized trials in sedentary individuals are limited and inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of physical activity on cognition among sedentary older adults. OBJECTIVE: A systematic literature search for eligible studies published up to January 1, 2021, was performed on six international (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Sinomed, FMRS, and OVID) and three Chinese databases (Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and VIP). We estimated the effect of physical activity on the cognition of sedentary elderly by standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using a random-effects model. We evaluated publication bias using funnel plots and heterogeneity using I2 statistics. Subgroup analyses were conducted by baseline cognition, intervention duration, activity type, and country. RESULTS: Seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comprising 321 (experimental group, 164; control group, 157) sedentary older adults were included in the meta-analysis. Physical activity significantly improved cognition in sedentary elderly adults compared with controls (SMD: 0.50, 95% CI:0.09-0.92). Subgroup analyses showed significant effects of baseline cognition impairment (SMD: 9.80, 95% CI: 5.81-13.80), intervention duration > 12 weeks (SMD: 2.85, 95% CI: 0.73-4.96), aerobic exercise (SMD: 0.74, CI: 0.19-1.29), and countries other than the United States (SMD: 10.50, 95% CI: 7.08-13.92). CONCLUSION: Physical activity might have a general positive effect on the cognition of sedentary older adults. Intervention > 12 weeks and aerobic exercise can effectively delay their cognitive decline; however, more rigorous RCTs are needed to support our findings.

Exosomal hsa-miR-21-5p is a biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis.

PURPOSE: Breast cancer (BC) is characterized by concealed onset, delayed diagnosis, and high fatality rates making it particularly dangerous to patients' health. The purpose of this study was to use comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification to find a new biomarker for BC diagnosis. METHODS: We comprehensively analyzed microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and screened out differentially-expressed (DE) miRNAs and mRNAs. We used the miRNet website to predict potential DE-miRNA target genes. Using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), we performed Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses on overlapping potential target genes and DE-mRNAs. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was then established. The miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed using Cytoscape and the analysis results were visualized. We verified the expression of the most up-regulated DE-miRNA using reverse transcription and a quantitative polymerase chain reaction in BC tissue. The diagnostic value of the most up-regulated DE-miRNA was further explored across three levels: plasma-derived exosomes, cells, and cell exosomes. RESULTS: Our comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and experimental results showed that hsa-miR-21-5p was significantly up-regulated in BC tissue, cells, and exosomes. Our results also revealed that tumor-derived hsa-miR-21-5p could be packaged in exosomes and released into peripheral blood. Additionally, when evaluating the diagnostic value of plasma exosomal hsa-miR-21-5p, we found that it was significantly up-regulated in BC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis also confirmed that hsa-miR-21-5p could effectively distinguish healthy people from BC patients. The sensitivity and specificity were 86.7% and 93.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study's results showed that plasma exosomal hsa-miR-21-5p could be used as a biomarker for BC diagnosis.

Climate-induced range shifts shaped the present and threaten the future genetic variability of a marine brown alga in the Northwest Pacific.

Glaciation-induced environmental changes during the last glacial maximum (LGM) have strongly influenced species' distributions and genetic diversity patterns in the northern high latitudes. However, these effects have seldom been assessed on sessile species in the Northwest Pacific. Herein, we chose the brown alga Sargassum thunbergii to test this hypothesis, by comparing present population genetic variability with inferred geographical range shifts from the LGM to the present, estimated with species distribution modelling (SDM). Projections for contrasting scenarios of future climate change were also developed to anticipate genetic diversity losses at regional scales. Results showed that S. thunbergii harbours strikingly rich genetic diversity and multiple divergent lineages in the centre-northern range of its distribution, in contrast with a poorer genetically distinct lineage in the southern range. SDM hindcasted refugial persistence in the southern range during the LGM as well as post-LGM expansion of 18 degrees of latitude northward. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) analysis further suggested that the multiple divergent lineages in the centre-northern range limit stem from post-LGM colonization from the southern survived lineage. This suggests divergence due to demographic bottlenecks during range expansion and massive genetic diversity loss during post-LGM contraction in the south. The projected future range of S. thunbergii highlights the threat to unique gene pools that might be lost under global changes.

Highly Efficient Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction in Two-Dimensional Ferroelectric CuInP2S6 Bilayers.

Photocatalytic CO2 conversion into reproducible chemical fuels (e.g., CO, CH3OH, or CH4) provides a promising scheme to solve the increasing environmental problems and energy demands simultaneously. However, the efficiency is severely restricted by the high overpotential of the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) and rapid recombination of photoexcited carriers. Here, we propose that a novel type-II photocatalytic mechanism based on two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric multilayers would be ideal for addressing these issues. Using density-functional theory and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics calculations, we find that the ferroelectric CuInP2S6 bilayers exhibit a staggered band structure induced by the vertical intrinsic electric fields. Different from the traditional type-II band alignment, the unique structure of the CuInP2S6 bilayer not only effectively suppresses the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole (e-h) pairs but also produces a sufficient photovoltage to drive the CO2RR. The predicted recombination time of photogenerated e-h pairs, 1.03 ns, is much longer than the transferring times of photoinduced electrons and holes, 5.45 and 0.27 ps, respectively. Moreover, the overpotential of the CO2RR will decrease by substituting an S atom with a Cu atom, making the redox reaction proceed spontaneously under solar radiation. The solar-to-fuel efficiency with an upper limit of 8.40% is achieved in the CuInP2S6 bilayer and can be further improved to 32.57% for the CuInP2S6 five-layer. Our results indicate that this novel type-II photocatalytic mechanism would be a promising way to achieve highly efficient photocatalytic CO2 conversion based on the 2D ferroelectric multilayers.

Mechanism underlying Polygonum capitatum effect on Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis based on network pharmacology.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a common disease that can cause H. pylori-associated gastritis (HAG), peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. As a traditional Chinese medicine, Polygonum capitatum (PC) manifests its unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of complex diseases and chronic diseases, due to its ability to clear heat, detoxify and relieve pain, promote blood circulation, and remove blood stasis. In order to explore the molecular mechanism of PC for HAG, the study collected the predicted targets of active compounds, conducted functional analysis by the STRING database, collected HAG differential expression genes, and conducted KEGG enrichment analysis on the intersection of predicted targets and differential expression genes of gastritis by Cluego. The results show that PC works mainly by affecting phosphorylation of IκBα, NF-κB p65, p38MAPK, and ERK1/2 and nuclear transposition of NF-κB p65 and p-p38MAPK, which has been proved by in vivo and in vitro experiments. These results suggest that PC may act on HAG with multiple targets and pathways, and play a key role in the process of HAG treatment.

Monolayer Fe3GeX2 (X = S, Se, and Te) as Highly Efficient Electrocatalysts for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

The high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries enable them to be promising next-generation energy storage systems. However, the commercialization of Li-S batteries is presently hindered by the bottlenecks, such as the low conductivity of sulfur species, shuttle effect of polysulfides, and poor conversion efficiency in discharging/charging processes. Here, on the basis of first-principles calculations, we predicted that the two-dimensional magnetic Fe3GeX2 (X = S, Se, and Te) monolayers are quite promising to overcome the aforesaid problems. The Fe3GeX2 monolayer has metallic electronic structures and moderate binding strength to the soluble lithium polysulfides, which are expected to improve the overall electric conductivity of sulfur species and anchor the soluble lithium polysulfides to suppress the shuttle effect. Remarkably, Fe3GeX2 monolayers show bifunctional electrocatalytic activity to the S reduction reaction and the Li2S decomposition reaction, which improves the conversion efficiency in discharging and charging processes. This finding may open up an avenue for the development of high-performance Li-S batteries.

INTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease. In 2013, the International Diabetes Federation showed that the total number of diabetic patients aged 20 to 79 years in China was 89 million, and it is expected to increase to 143 million by 2035. The incidence of T2DM and its complications in patients with blood glucose is gradually increasing, and there are low awareness rate, low diagnosis rate and high disability rate, which has become a global public health problem.
