Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory phloroglucinols from tropic Rhodomyrtus tomentosa.

Four previously undescribed phloroglucinols, including three pairs of enantiomers, (±)-rhodotomentodimer F, (±)-rhodotomentodimer G, and (±)-rhodotomentomonomer E, and one phloroglucinol-sesquiterpene meroterpenoid, rhodotomentodione E, together with one previously reported congener, (±)-rhodomyrtosone A, were obtained from the leaves of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa. The structures including absolute configurations of previously undescribed isolates were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis (HRESIMS and NMR), ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. (±)-Rhodotomentodimer F is a rare phloroglucinol derivative conjugated by a ß-triketone moiety and an unprecedented resorcinol unit via the formation of a rare bis-furan ring system, whereas (±)-rhodotomentomonomer E shares a rearranged pentacyclic scaffold. Pharmacologically, (±)-rhodotomentomonomer E showed the strongest human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 1.04 ± 0.05 µM. Molecular formula studies revealed that hydrogen bonds formed between hAChE residues Glu202, Ser203, Ala204, Gly121, Gly122, Tyr337, and His447 and (±)-rhodotomentomonomer E played crucial roles in its observed activity. These findings indicated that the leaves of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa can supply a rich source of hAChE inhibitors. These inhibitors might potentially be utilized in the therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease, offering promising candidates for further research and development.

Analysis of risk factors for weaning failure from mechanical ventilation in critically ill older patients with coronavirus disease 2019.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing weaning failure from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in critically ill older patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: We enrolled critically ill older patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) and received IMV between December 2022 and June 2023. Results: We included 68 critically ill older patients with COVID-19 (52 male [76.5 %] and 16 female individuals [23.5 %]). The patients' median age (interquartile range) was 75.5 (70.3-82.8) years. The median length of ICU stay was 11.5 (7.0-17.8) days; 34 cases (50.0 %) were successfully weaned from IMV. The successfully weaned group had a higher proportion of underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [6 (17.6 %) vs. 0, P = 0.033] and fewer cases of diabetes [7 (20.6 %) vs. 16 (47.1 %), P = 0.021] compared with the weaning failure group. Serum lactate levels [1.5 (1.2-2.3) vs. 2.6 (1.9-3.1) mmol/L, P < 0.001], blood urea nitrogen [8.2 (6.3-14.4) vs. 11.4 (8.0-21.3) mmol/L, P = 0.033], Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score [19.0 (12.0-23.3) vs. 22.5 (16.0-29.3), P = 0.014], and hospitalization days before endotracheal intubation [1.0 (0.0-5.0) vs. 3.0 (0.0-11.0), P = 0.023] were significantly decreased in the successfully weaned group, whereas PaO2/FiO2 [148.3 (94.6-200.3) vs. 101.1 (67.0-165.1), P = 0.038] and blood lymphocyte levels [0.6 (0.4-1.0) vs. 0.5 (0.2-0.6) 109/L, P = 0.048] were significantly increased, compared with the weaning failure group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes (OR= 3.413, 95 %CI 1.029-11.326), P = 0.045), APACHE II Score (OR = 1.089, 95 % CI 1.008-1.175), P = 0.030), and hospitalization days before endotracheal intubation (OR = 1.137, 95 % CI 1.023-1.264), P = 0.017) were independent risk factors for weaning failure. Conclusion: In critically ill older patients with COVID-19 with diabetes, higher APACHE II Score, and longer hospitalization days before endotracheal intubation, weaning from IMV was more challenging. The study could help develop strategies for improving COVID-19 treatment.

Sandwiched-structure fabric-based high-performance moisture-enabled electricity generators for the power supply of small electronics.

In response to the energy crisis caused by the exhaustion of fossil energy sources, as well as to combat global warming and achieve carbon neutrality, a sandwiched-structure fabric-based moisture-enabled electricity generator (SMEG) has been developed. Cotton fabric coated with MWCNT and PEDOT: PSS solution is used as the upper and bottom electrodes, while the acid-treated cotton fabric with coating PVA and HCl hydrogel electrolyte serves as the middle layer. A single SMEG can generate a maximum open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.44 V and a maximum short-circuit current (Isc) of 30 µA. When a drop of LiCl is dripped on one side of SMEGs, the maximum Voc and Isc increases to 0.57 V and 66 µA, respectively. The decline in output performance slows down when LiCl is applied. The Voc increases almost linearly in series and reaches 3.55 V when six SMEGs are connected, while the Isc increases linearly in parallel and reaches 204 µA when six SMEGs are connected. The maximum power density of a single SMEG yields 0.29 µW/cm2 with an external resistance of 1 kΩ. The series connection of six SMEGs successfully lit an LED and a calculator under ambient humidity conditions, demonstrating their potential application in small electronics.

Soil selenium enhanced the resistance of oilseed rape to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by optimizing the plant microbiome.

Plant can recruit beneficial microbes to enhance their ability to resist disease. Selenium is well established as a beneficial element in plant growth, but its role in mediating microbial disease resistance remained poorly understood. Here, we investigated the correlation between selenium, oilseed rape rhizosphere microbes and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Soil application of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg selenium significantly increased the resistance of oilseed rape to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum compared with no selenium application, and the disease inhibition rate was higher than 20%. The disease resistance of oilseed rape was related to rhizosphere microorganisms, and beneficial bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere inhibited Sclerotinia stem rot. Burkholderia cepacia, and synthetic community enhanced plant disease resistance through transcriptional regulation and activated plant-induced systemic resistance to protect plants. Besides, inoculation of isolated bacteria optimized the bacterial community structure of leaves and enriched beneficial microorganisms such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Sphingomonas. Bacillus isolated from the leaves were sprayed on the detached leaves, and it also performed a significant inhibition effect on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Overall, our results suggested that selenium drive plant rhizosphere microorganisms to increase resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in oilseed rape.

Photo-thermal Catalytic Hydrogenation of Halogenated Nitrobenzenes over Ni/P25 Catalyst.

As haloanilines (HANs) are important organic intermediates and fine chemicals, their preparation over non-noble-metal-based catalysts by catalytic hydrogenation has attracted wide attention. However, the reaction suffers from relatively harsh conditions. Herein, we found that a 3.5%Ni/P25 catalyst exhibited superior photo-thermal catalytic activity with a TOFs of 5207 h-1 for hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) to p-chloroaniline under a 300 W full spectrum, which was much higher than that of photo- and thermal catalysis alone. Moreover, the 3.5%Ni/P25 catalyst could be recycled 4 times and was effective for the hydrogenation of various halonitrobenzenes (HNBs) with superior selectivity. Furthermore, the kinetic research showed that the excellent catalytic performance could be attributed to the better activation and dissociation of H2 by photo-thermal catalysis and the hydrogenation of p-CNB obeyed the condensation routine by ionic hydrogenation over 3.5%Ni/P25.

Iron-Nickel synergistic catalysis growth of (Fe,Ni)9S8/Ni3S2@N,S codoped carbon bridged nanowires enhanced oxygen evolution reaction performance.

Improving the conductivity of the electrocatalyst itself is essential for enhancing its performance. In this work, N, S-rich 6-thioguanine (TG) is selected as the ligand to synthesize a Fe, Ni bimetallic porous coordination polymer (PCP), which is then derived to fabricate N,S codoped carbon (NSC)-coated (Fe,Ni)9S8/Ni3S2 bridged nanowires. The (Fe,Ni)9S8/Ni3S2@NSC bridged nanowires obtained through bimetallic synergistic catalysis and self-sulfurization processes not only introduced additional electrocatalytic active sites but also significantly enhance the overall conductivity of the catalyst due to the interconnected nanowire structure. The resulting (Fe,Ni)9S8/Ni3S2@NSC demonstrates remarkable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance, exhibiting an overpotential as low as 252 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. This work proposes a novel strategy for enhancing the overall conductivity of catalysts by growing bridged nanowires, providing valuable insights and inspiration for the design and preparation of advanced transition metal sulfide electrocatalysts.

Antitumor effects of Cypaliuruside F from Cyclocarya paliurus on HepG2 cells.

An undescribed dammarane triterpenoid saponin Cypaliuruside F was isolated from the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus in our preliminary study. The MTT assay, flow cytometry, cell scratch, and DAPI staining were used to detect the antitumor effects of Cypaliuruside F on HepG2 cells. Subsequently, network pharmacology and molecular docking analysis were used to analyse the key targets of Cypaliuruside F against HCC. In addition, a Western blot was performed to determine the effects of Cypaliuruside F on the expression of key proteins in HepG2 cells. The experimental results indicated that the damarane triterpenoid saponin Cypaliuruside F from Cyclocarya paliurus inhibits the proliferation of HepG2 cells by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. These changes may promote the apoptosis of HepG2 cells by inhibiting the expression of mTOR, STAT3, and Bcl-2 while activating Bax.

Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer Nanofibrous Cation Exchange Chromatographic Membranes with a Gradient Porous Structure for Lysozyme Separation.

Lysozyme, a common antimicrobial agent, is widely used in the food, biopharmaceutical, chemical, and medicine fields. Rapid and effective isolation of lysozymes is an everlasting topic. In this work, ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer nanofibrous membranes with a gradient porous structure used for lysozyme adsorption were prepared through layer-by-layer nanofiber wet-laying and a cost-efficient ultraviolet (UV)-assisted graft-modification method, where benzophenone was used as an initiator and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid as a modifying monomer. As indicated in the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectric energy spectrometer (XPS) investigation, sulfonic acid groups were introduced on the surface of the modified nanofibrous membrane, which possessed the ability to adsorb lysozyme. Compared with membranes with homogenous porous structures, membranes with a gradient porous structure present higher static (335 mg/g) and dynamic adsorption capacities (216.3 mg/g). Meanwhile, the adsorption capacity remained high after five cycles of the adsorption-desorption process. The results can be attributed to the gradient porous structure rather than the highest porosity and specific surface area. This suggests that the membrane with comprehensive separation performance can be designed from the view of the transmembrane porous structure, which is of significance for the development of next-generation advanced chromatographic membranes.

Biomimetic Design of 3D Fe3O4/V-EVOH Fiber-Based Self-Floating Composite Aerogel to Enhance Solar Steam Generation Performance.

An interfacial solar steam generation evaporator for seawater desalination has attracted extensive interest in recent years. Nevertheless, challenges still remain in relatively low evaporation rate, unsatisfactory energy conversion efficiency, and salt accumulation. Herein, we have demonstrated a biomimetic bilayer composite aerogel consisting of bottom hydrophilic and vertically aligned EVOH channels and an upper hydrophobic conical Fe3O4 array. Thanks to the design merits, the 3D Fe3O4/V-EVOH evaporator exhibits a high evaporation rate of ∼2.446 kg m-2 h-1 and an impressive solar energy conversion efficiency of ∼165.5% under 1 sun illumination, which is superior to those of state-of-the-art evaporators reported so far. Moreover, the asymmetrical wettability not only allows the evaporator to self-float on the water but also facilitates the salt ion diffusion in the channels; thus, the evaporator shows no salt crystals on its surface and only a 6% decrease in evaporation performance even after the salt concentration increases from 0 to 10.0 wt %.

Comparison of prevalence estimates of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 deletions in Plasmodium falciparum determined by conventional PCR and multiplex qPCR and implications for surveillance and monitoring.

OBJECTIVES: The accuracy of malaria rapid diagnostic tests is threatened by Plasmodium falciparum with pfhrp2/3 deletions. This study compares gene deletion prevalence determined by multiplex real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and conventional polymerase chain reaction (cPCR) using existing samples with clonality previously determined by microsatellite genotyping. METHODS: Multiplex qPCR was used to estimate prevalence of pfhrp2/3 deletions in three sets of previously collected patient samples from Eritrea and Peru. The qPCR was validated by multiplex digital polymerase chain reaction. Sample classification was compared with cPCR, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the optimal ΔCq threshold that aligned the results of the two assays. RESULTS: qPCR classified 75% (637 of 849) of samples as single, and 212 as mixed-pfhrp2/3 genotypes, with a positive association between clonality and proportion of mixed-pfhrp2/3 genotype samples. The sample classification agreement between cPCR and qPCR was 75.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 68.6-80.7%) and 47.8% (95% CI 38.9-56.9%) for monoclonal and polyclonal infections. The qPCR prevalence estimates of pfhrp2/3 deletions showed almost perfect (κ = 0.804, 95% CI 0.714-0.895) and substantial agreement (κ = 0.717, 95% CI 0.562-0.872) with cPCR for Peru and 2016 Eritrean samples, respectively. For 2019 Eritrean samples, the prevalence of double pfhrp2/3 deletions was approximately two-fold higher using qPCR. The optimal threshold for matching the assay results was ΔCq = 3. CONCLUSIONS: Multiplex qPCR and cPCR produce comparable estimates of gene deletion prevalence when monoclonal infections dominate; however, qPCR provides higher estimates where multi-clonal infections are common.

RU-SLAM: A Robust Deep-Learning Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) System for Weakly Textured Underwater Environments.

Accurate and robust simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems are crucial for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to perform missions in unknown environments. However, directly applying deep learning-based SLAM methods to underwater environments poses challenges due to weak textures, image degradation, and the inability to accurately annotate keypoints. In this paper, a robust deep-learning visual SLAM system is proposed. First, a feature generator named UWNet is designed to address weak texture and image degradation problems and extract more accurate keypoint features and their descriptors. Further, the idea of knowledge distillation is introduced based on an improved underwater imaging physical model to train the network in a self-supervised manner. Finally, UWNet is integrated into the ORB-SLAM3 to replace the traditional feature extractor. The extracted local and global features are respectively utilized in the feature tracking and closed-loop detection modules. Experimental results on public datasets and self-collected pool datasets verify that the proposed system maintains high accuracy and robustness in complex scenarios.

Burden of Submicroscopic Plasmodium Infections and Detection of kelch13 Mutant Parasites in Military and Civilian Populations in Papua New Guinea.

Malaria remains a major public health problem in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and an important force health protection issue for both PNG and Australian Defence Forces. To investigate the malaria burden in the military and civilians residing on military bases, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in April 2019 at three military bases in Wewak, Manus Island, and Vanimo, PNG. A total of 1,041 participants were enrolled; 235 military personnel from three bases and 806 civilians from Wewak and Vanimo. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed an overall high prevalence of Plasmodium infection in both the military and civilians. Among the military, the infection prevalence was significantly higher in Wewak (35.5%) and Vanimo (33.3%) bases than on Manus Island (11.8%). Among civilians, children (<16 years old) had significantly higher odds of being PCR positive than adults (≥16 years old). At Wewak and Vanimo, Plasmodium vivax accounted for 85.4%, 78.2%, and 66.2% of infections in military, children, and adult populations. Overall, 87.3%, 41.3%, and 61.3% of Plasmodium infections in the military, children, and adults, respectively, were detected only by PCR, not by microscopy (submicroscopic [SM] infections). Children had a significantly lower proportion of SM infections than adults and Papua New Guinea Defence Force personnel. Infection status was not associated with hemoglobin levels in these populations at the time of the survey. Mutant kelch13 (C580Y) parasites were identified in 5/68 Plasmodium falciparum-infected individuals. The survey results indicate extensive malaria transmission on these bases, especially in Wewak and Vanimo. More intensified interventions are required to reduce malaria transmission on PNG military bases.

Profiles of phenolics and their synthetic pathways in Asparagus officinalis L.

The synthetic pathways of some phenolics compounds in asparagus have been reported, however, the diversified phenolics compounds including their modification and transcription regulation remains unknown. Thus, multi-omics strategies were applied to detect the phenolics profiles, contents, and screen the key genes for phenolics biosynthesis and regulation in asparagus. A total of 437 compounds, among which 204 phenolics including 105 flavonoids and 82 phenolic acids were detected with fluctuated concentrations in roots (Rs), spears (Ss) and flowering twigs (Fs) of the both green and purple cultivars. Based on the detected phenolics profiles and contents correlated to the gene expressions of screened synthetic enzymes and regulatory TFs, a full phenolics synthetic pathway of asparagus was proposed for the first time, essential for future breeding of asparagus and scaled healthy phenolics production using synthetic biological strategies.

Facet-Dependent Photocatalytic Behavior of Rutile TiO2 for the Degradation of Volatile Organic Compounds: In Situ Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory Investigations.

In this study, a custom rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst with a single exposed surface was utilized to investigate the facet-dependent photocatalytic mechanism of toluene. The degradation of toluene was dynamically monitored using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) technology coupled with theoretical calculations. The findings demonstrated that the photocatalytic degradation rate on the TiO2 (001) surface was nearly double that observed on the TiO2 (110) surface. This remarkable enhancement can be attributed to the heightened stability in the adsorption of toluene molecules and the concurrent reduction in the energy requirement for the ring-opening process of benzoic acid on the TiO2 (001) surface. Moreover, the TiO2 (001) surface generated a greater number of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby promoting the separation of photogenerated charge carriers and concurrently diminishing their recombination rates, amplifying the efficiency of photocatalysis. This research provides an innovative perspective for a more comprehensive understanding of the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of TiO2 and presents promising prospects for significant applications in environmental purification and energy fields.

Prognostic value and distribution pattern of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and their subsets in distant metastases of advanced breast cancer.

BACKGROUND: There are significant correlations between the levels of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and the prognosis of primary breast cancer. While little is known about immunological mechanisms in the distant metastasis of advanced breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 106 patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer were enrolled in this study between 2016 and 2022. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the densities of stromal TILs (sTILs), intratumoral TILs (iTILs) and invasive marginal TILs (imTILs) and CD4+, CD8+, CD20+, FOXP3+ TILs in the primary tumor and metastasis (bone, lung, liver, and distant lymph node) of advanced breast cancer. RESULTS: Higher levels of sTILs at metastatic sites were associated with better progression-free survival (PFS), postmetastasis survival (PMS) and overall survival (OS) (p = .026, .001 and .005, respectively). The levels of iTILs were significantly lower than those of sTILs and imTILs in both primary tumor (p< .001, both) and metastasis (p< .001, both). The level of CD4+ T cells was higher than those of CD8+ T cells and CD20+ B cells in both primary tumor (p < .001) and metastasis (p < .001). The levels of sTILs (p=0. 001) and imTILs (p< .001) in the primary tumor were generally higher than those in the metastasis. CONCLUSION: The levels of TILs and their subsets can predict the survival and prognosis of patients with advanced breast cancer. The distributions of TILs and their subsets are similar between the primary tumor and metastasis. The metastases have a lower degree of lymphocytes infiltration than its corresponding primary tumor.

Limited threat of Plasmodium falciparum pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 gene deletion to the utility of HRP2-based malaria RDTs in Northern Uganda.

BACKGROUND: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) that detect Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein-2 (PfHRP2) are exclusively deployed in Uganda, but deletion of the pfhrp2/3 target gene threatens their usefulness as malaria diagnosis and surveillance tools. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at 40 sites across four regions of Uganda in Acholi, Lango, W. Nile and Karamoja from March 2021 to June 2023. Symptomatic malaria suspected patients were recruited and screened with both HRP2 and pan lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) detecting RDTs. Dried blood spots (DBS) were collected from all patients and a random subset were used for genomic analysis to confirm parasite species and pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 gene status. Plasmodium species was determined using a conventional multiplex PCR while pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 gene deletions were determined using a real-time multiplex qPCR. Expression of the HRP2 protein antigen in a subset of samples was further assessed using a ELISA. RESULTS: Out of 2435 symptomatic patients tested for malaria, 1504 (61.8%) were positive on pLDH RDT. Overall, qPCR confirmed single pfhrp2 gene deletion in 1 out of 416 (0.2%) randomly selected samples that were confirmed of P. falciparum mono-infections. CONCLUSION: These findings show limited threat of pfhrp2/3 gene deletions in the survey areas suggesting that HRP2 RDTs are still useful diagnostic tools for surveillance and diagnosis of P. falciparum malaria infections in symptomatic patients in this setting. Periodic genomic surveillance is warranted to monitor the frequency and trend of gene deletions and its effect on RDTs.

Identification of Cu(111) as Superior Active Sites for Electrocatalytic NO Reduction to NH3 with High Single-Pass Conversion Efficiency.

Opting for NO as an N source in electrocatalytic NH3 synthesis presents an intriguing approach to tackle energy and environmental challenges. However, blindly pursuing high NH3 synthesis rates and Faradaic efficiency (FE) while ignoring the NO conversion ratio could result in environmental problems. Herein, Cu nanosheets with exposed (111) surface is fabricated and exhibit a NO-to-NH3 yield rate of 371.89 µmol cm-2 h-1 (flow cell) and the highest FE of 93.19±1.99 % (H-type cell). The NO conversion ratio is increased to the current highest value of 63.74 % combined with the development of the flow cell. Additionally, Crystal Orbital Hamilton Population (COHP) clearly reveals that the "σ-π* acceptance-donation" is the essence of the interaction between the Cu and NO as also supported by operando attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IRAS) in observing the key intermediate of NO- . This work not only achieves a milestone NO conversion ratio for electrocatalytic NO-to-NH3 , but also proposes a new descriptor that utilizes orbital hybridization between molecules and metal centers to accurately identify the real active sites of catalysts.

Understanding the Poly (Triazine Imide) Crystals Formation Process: The Conversion from Heptazine to Triazine.

Poly (triazine imide) (PTI) generally obtained via ionothermal synthesis features extended π-conjugation and enhanced crystallinity. However, in-depth investigation of the polycondensation process for PTI is an onerous task due to multiple influencing factors and limited characterization techniques. Herein, to simplify the polymerization route and exclude non-essential factors, PTI was prepared by calcining only melamine and LiCl. This study aims to identify the pivotal role of LiCl in PTI formation, which can convert heptazine-based intermediates into more stable triazine-based PTI framework. Based on this discovery, we demonstrate the transformation process of the prepared samples from amorphous Bulk g-C3 N4 to regular PTI, and further prove that the reaction with LiCl causes disruption of heptazine covalent organic frameworks. Additionally, the PTI exhibits higher photocatalytic water splitting performance due to efficient charge carrier mobility and separation, as well as faster reaction kinetics. This discovery deepens understanding of the polycondensation process of PTI crystals and provides insights toward the rational design of crystalline carbon nitride-based semiconductors.
