3D Porous Fibers with Spatial Traps and Excellent Zn2+ Transport Kinetics Enable Stable Zn-Based Aqueous Battery.

Adverse side reactions and uncontrolled Zn dendrites growth are the dominant factors that have restricted the application of Zn ion batteries. Herein, a 3D self-supporting porous carbon fibers (denoted as PCFs) host is developed with "trap" effect to adjust the Zn deposition. The unique open structural design of N-doped carbon can act as the zincophilic sites to induce uniform deposition and inhibit adverse side reactions. More importantly, the porous hollow PCFs host with "trap" effect can induce Zn deposition in the fiber by adjusting the local electric field and current density, thereby increasing the specific energy density of the battery and inhibiting dendrite growth. In addition, the 3D open frameworks can regulate Zn2+ flux to enable outstanding cycling performance at ultra-high current densities. As expected, the PCFs framework guarantees the uniform Zn plating and stripping with an outstanding stability over 6000 cycles at the current density of 40 mA cm-2. And the Zn@PCFs||MnO2 full battery shows an excellent lifespan over 1300 cycles at 2000 mA g-1.

Comparison of Mitral Valve Repair Versus Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Commissurotomy for Patients With Rheumatic Heart Disease: A Single-Centre Study.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy (PMBC) is the standard treatment option for patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS), according to current guidelines. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of rheumatic mitral valve repair (rMVR) and PMBC in this patient population. METHODS: Baseline, clinical, and follow-up data from 703 patients with rheumatic heart disease who underwent PMBC or rMVR at the current centre were collected and analysed. A 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching method was used to balance the differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. The primary outcome was mitral valve reoperation, and the secondary outcome was all-cause mortality. RESULTS: Propensity score matching generated 101 patient pairs for comparison. In the matched population, there were no significant differences in the early clinical outcomes between the groups. The median follow-up time was 40.9 months. Overall, patients in the rMVR group had a statistically significantly lower risk of mitral valve reoperation than those in the PMBC group (HR 0.186; 95% CI 0.041-0.835; p=0.028). Regarding all-cause mortality, no statistically significant differences were observed between the rMVR and PMBC groups (HR 4.065; 95% CI 0.454-36.374; p=0.210). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with PMBC, rMVR has more advantages for the correction of valve lesions; therefore, it may offer a better prognosis than PMBC in select patients with rheumatic MS. However, this finding needs to be verified in future studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods.

Enantioselective Aminosilylation of Alkenes by Palladium/Ming-Phos-Catalyzed Tandem Narasaka-Heck/Silylation Reaction.

A Pd-catalyzed enantioselective aminosilylation of alkenes via tandem Aza-Heck/silylation reaction under Pd/Sadphos catalysis is disclosed. A wide array of oxime esters and silicon reagents are tolerated, furnishing the chiral pyrrolines bearing one quaternary or two contiguous stereocenters in good yield with high enantioselectivity. Not only terminal alkenes but also tri-substituented internal alkenes successfully participate in the reaction, delivering vicinal stereocenters in complete diastereoselectivity and high enantioselectivity. DFT study is conducted to probe the reaction pathway and the origin of the enantioselectivity, which revealed that the stereoinduction arises from the weak interaction between the aromatic ring of the substrate fragment and naphthyl group in the ligand.

What enlightenment has the development of lung cancer bone metastasis brought in the last 22 years.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer bone metastasis (LCBM) is a disease with a poor prognosis, high risk and large patient population. Although considerable scientific output has accumulated on LCBM, problems have emerged, such as confusing research structures. AIM: To organize the research frontiers and body of knowledge of the studies on LCBM from the last 22 years according to their basic research and translation, clinical treatment, and clinical diagnosis to provide a reference for the development of new LCBM clinical and basic research. METHODS: We used tools, including R, VOSviewer and CiteSpace software, to measure and visualize the keywords and other metrics of 1903 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection. We also performed enrichment and protein-protein interaction analyses of gene expression datasets from LCBM cases worldwide. RESULTS: Research on LCBM has received extensive attention from scholars worldwide over the last 20 years. Targeted therapies and immunotherapies have evolved into the mainstream basic and clinical research directions. The basic aspects of drug resistance mechanisms and parathyroid hormone-related protein may provide new ideas for mechanistic study and improvements in LCBM prognosis. The produced molecular map showed that ribosomes and focal adhesion are possible pathways that promote LCBM occurrence. CONCLUSION: Novel therapies for LCBM face animal testing and drug resistance issues. Future focus should centre on advancing clinical therapies and researching drug resistance mechanisms and ribosome-related pathways.

Effective of different industrial disinfection in subzero cold-chain environment.

Effective disinfection methods are crucial in the cold chain transportation process of food due to the specificity of temperature and the diversity of contaminated flora. The objective of this study was to investigate the sanitizing effect of different disinfectants on various fungi at - 20 °C to achieve accurate disinfection of diverse bacterial populations. Peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium bisulfate were selected as low-temperature disinfectants and were combined with antifreeze. The sanitizing effect of these cryogenic disinfectants on pathogens such as Bacillus subtilis black variant spores (ATCC9372), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Candida albicans (ATCC 10231), Escherichia coli (8099), and poliovirus (PV-1) was sequentially verified by bactericidal and virus inactivation experiments. After a specified time of disinfection, a neutralizing agent was used to halt the sanitizing process. The study demonstrates that different disinfectants exhibit selective effects during the low-temperature disinfection process. Peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium monopersulfate are suitable for the low-temperature environmental disinfection of bacterial propagules, viruses, and fungal contaminants. However, for microorganisms with strong resistance to spores, a low-temperature disinfectant based on peracetic acid should be chosen for effective disinfection treatment. Our results provide a valuable reference for selecting appropriate disinfectants to sanitize various potential pathogens in the future.

Up-regulating GABA transporter-3 in the zona incerta prevents surgery-induced memory impairment in mice.

Clinical surgery can lead to severe neuroinflammation and cognitive dysfunctions. It has been reported that astrocytes mediate memory formation and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), however, the thalamic mechanism of astrocytes in mediating POCD remains unknown. Here, we report that reactive astrocytes in zona incerta (ZI) mediate surgery-induced recognition memory impairment in male mice. Immunostaining results showed that astrocytes are activated with GABA transporter-3 (GAT-3) being down-expressed, and neurons were suppressed in the ZI. Besides, our work revealed that reactive astrocytes caused increased tonic current in ZI neurons. Up-regulating the expression of GAT-3 in astrocytes ameliorates surgery-induced recognition memory impairment. Together, our work demonstrates that the reactive astrocytes in the ZI play a crucial role in surgery-induced memory impairment, which provides a new target for the treatment of surgery-induced neural dysfunctions.

Stable detection of diazinon residues in vegetables by an electrochemiluminescent aptasensor based on the in-situ production of H2O2 from dual-catalytic glucose.

Stable detection of diazinon (DZN) residues in vegetables is important for food safety. In this work, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor with dual-catalytic glucose in-situ production of H2O2 was constructed for the stable detection of DZN in vegetables. Firstly, MWCNTs@MB was prepared using π-π stacking interactions between methylene blue (MB) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to enhance the loading of MB on an electrode and thus catalyze the generation of H2O2 from glucose. Secondly, Cu2O@AuNPs was formed by loading AuNPs on the surface of Cu2O through spontaneous reduction reaction, which improved the interfacial charge transfer, Cu2O nano-enzyme had glucose oxidase mimicking activity and could further catalyze the production of more H2O2 from glucose. MWCNTs@MB and Cu2O@AuNPs played a key role in the in-situ generation of co-reacting reagent H2O2, which solved the problem of unstable detection caused by the easy decomposition of the H2O2 solution added to the luminescence system. In addition, the aptamer was immobilized on the electrode surface by forming Au-S bonds with Cu2O@AuNPs. As a result, the ECL aptasensor performed good linearity in 1.00 pg mL-1-1.00 µg mL-1 and a low limit of detection (LOD) to 0.39 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). This work provided an effective method for the accurate and stable detection of DZN residues in vegetables, which was of great significance in ensuring food safety and assessing the environmental risk of DZN.

Synthesis and crystal structure of the cluster (Et4N)[(Tp*)MoFe3S3(µ3-NSiMe3)(N3)3].

The title compound, tetra-ethyl-ammonium tri-azido-tri-µ3-sulfido-[µ3-(tri-methyl-sil-yl)aza-nediido][tris-(3,5-di-methyl-pyrazol-1-yl)hydro-borato]triiron(+2.33)molybdenum(IV), (C8H20N)[Fe3MoS3(C15H22BN6)(C3H9NSi)(N3)3] or (Et4N)[(Tp*)MoFe3S3(µ3-NSiMe3)(N3)3] [Tp* = tris-(3,5-di-methyl-pyrazol-1-yl)hydro-bor-ate(1-)], crystallizes as needle-like black crystals in space group P . In this cluster, the Mo site is in a distorted octa-hedral coordination model, coordinating three N atoms on the Tp* ligand and three µ3-bridging S atoms in the core. The Fe sites are in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination model, coordinating two µ3-bridging S atoms, one µ3-bridging N atom from Me3SiN2-, and another N atom on the terminal azide ligand. This type of heterometallic and heteroleptic single cubane cluster represents a typical example within the Mo-Fe-S cluster family, which may be a good reference for understanding the structure and function of the nitro-genase FeMo cofactor. The residual electron density of disordered solvent mol-ecules in the void space could not be reasonably modeled, thus the SQUEEZE [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9-18] function was applied. The solvent contribution is not included in the reported mol-ecular weight and density.

Molecular and structural basis of an ATPase-nuclease dual-enzyme anti-phage defense complex.

Coupling distinct enzymatic effectors emerges as an efficient strategy for defense against phage infection in bacterial immune responses, such as the widely studied nuclease and cyclase activities in the type III CRISPR-Cas system. However, concerted enzymatic activities in other bacterial defense systems are poorly understood. Here, we biochemically and structurally characterize a two-component defense system DUF4297-HerA, demonstrating that DUF4297-HerA confers resistance against phage infection by cooperatively cleaving dsDNA and hydrolyzing ATP. DUF4297 alone forms a dimer, and HerA alone exists as a nonplanar split spiral hexamer, both of which exhibit extremely low enzymatic activity. Interestingly, DUF4297 and HerA assemble into an approximately 1 MDa supramolecular complex, where two layers of DUF4297 (6 DUF4297 molecules per layer) linked via inter-layer dimerization of neighboring DUF4297 molecules are stacked on top of the HerA hexamer. Importantly, the complex assembly promotes dimerization of DUF4297 molecules in the upper layer and enables a transition of HerA from a nonplanar hexamer to a planar hexamer, thus activating their respective enzymatic activities to abrogate phage infection. Together, our findings not only characterize a novel dual-enzyme anti-phage defense system, but also reveal a unique activation mechanism by cooperative complex assembly in bacterial immunity.

Inhibiting the self-discharging process of quantum batteries in non-Markovian noises.

One of the main challenges in developing high-performance quantum batteries is the self-discharging process, where energy is dissipated from a quantum battery into the environment. In this work, we investigate the influence of non-Markovian noises on the performance of a quantum battery. Our results demonstrate that adding auxiliary qubits to a quantum battery system can effectively suppress the self-discharging process, leading to an improvement in both the steady-state energy and extractable work. We reveal that the physical mechanism inhibiting the self-discharging process is the formation of system-environment bound states, rather than an increase in non-Markovianity. Our results could be of both theoretical and experimental interest in exploring the ability of quantum batteries to maintain long stored energy in the environment.

Visualization of Acrolein Upregulation during Ferroptosis by a Ratiometric Fluorescent Probe.

Ferroptosis is a pattern of cell death caused by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides and is closely associated with the occurrence and development of multiple diseases. Acrolein (ACR), one of the final metabolites of lipid peroxidation, is a reactive carbonyl species with strong biotoxicity. Effective detection of ACR is important for understanding its role in the progression of ferroptosis and studying the specific mechanisms of ferroptosis-mediated diseases. However, visualization detection of ACR during ferroptosis has not yet been reported. In this work, the first ratiometric fluorescent probe (HBT-SH) based on 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) was designed for tracing endogenous ACR with an unprecedented regiospecific ACR-induced intramolecular cyclization strategy, which employs 2-aminoethanethiol as an ACR-selective recognition receptor. The experimental results showed that HBT-SH has excellent selectivity, high sensitivity (LOD = 0.26 µM) and good biocompatibility. More importantly, the upregulation of ACR levels was observed during ferroptosis in HeLa cells and zebrafish, indicating that ACR may be a specific active molecule that plays an essential biological role during ferroptosis or may serve as a potential marker of ferroptosis, which has great significance for studying the pathological process and treatment options of ferroptosis-related diseases.

Chiral Supramolecular Self-Assembly Catalysts with Enhanced Metal Ion Interaction for Higher Enantioselectivity.

Understanding the interaction between metal ions as catalytic centers and supramolecular scaffolds as chiral substrates plays an important role in developing chiral supramolecular catalysts with high enantioselectivity. Herein, we found that compared with l-norleucine chiral amphiphile (l-NorC16), l-methionine chiral amphiphile (l-MetC16) with the only heteroatom of S site difference in the hydrophilic group can form a similar supramolecular chiral nanoribbon (NR) with the bilayer structure through the self-assembly approach; yet, the interaction between the Cu(II) ion catalytic centers and supramolecular scaffolds is reinforced, favoring the chirality transfer and therefore enhancing their catalytic enantioselectivity of Diels-Alder reaction from 23% [l-NorC16-NR-Cu(II)] to 78% [l-MetC16-NR-Cu(II)]. Our work demonstrates a new strategy from the perspective of strengthening the metal ion-supramolecular scaffold interaction for the preparation of chiral supramolecular catalysts with good catalytic enantioselectivity.

Hydrolysis of Nerve Agent Simulants Accelerated by Stimuli-Responsive Dinuclear Catalysts.

The ability to control the catalytic activity of enzymes in chemical transformations is essential for the design and development of artificial catalysts. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of functional ligands featuring two 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane units linked by an azobenzene group and their corresponding dinuclear Zn(II) complexes. We show that the configuration switching (E/Z) of the azobenzene spacer in the ligands and their dinuclear Zn(II) complexes is reversibly controlled by irradiation with UV and visible light. The Zn(II)-metal complexes are light-responsive catalysts for the hydrolytic cleavage of nerve agent simulants, i.e., p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate and methyl paraoxon. The catalytic activity of the Z-isomers of the dinuclear Zn(II) complexes outperformed that of the E-counterparts. Moreover, combining the less active E-isomers with gold nanoparticles induced an enhancement in the hydrolysis rate of p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate. Kinetic analysis has shown that the catalytic site appears to involve a single metal ion. We explain our results by considering the different desolvation effects occurring in the catalyst's configurations in the solution and the catalytic systems involving gold nanoparticles.

Mitochondria-localizing triphenylphosphine-8-hydroxyquinoline Ru complexes induce ferroptosis and their antitumor evaluation.

Ruthenium complexes are one of the most promising anticancer drugs and ferroptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death, the study on the effect of Ru complexes on ferroptosis is helpful to find more effective antitumor drugs. Here, the synthesis and characterization of two Ru complexes containing 8-hydroxylquinoline and triphenylphosphine as ligands, [Ru(L1) (PPh3)2Cl2] (Ru-1), [Ru(L2) (PPh3)2Cl2] (Ru-2), were reported. Complexes Ru-1 âˆ¼ Ru-2 showed good anticancer activity in Hep-G2 cells. Researches indicated that complexes Ru-1 âˆ¼ Ru-2 could be enriched and appear as red fluorescence in the mitochondria, arouse dysfunction of mitochondria, induce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation (LPO), while the morphology of nuclei and cell apoptosis had no significant change. Further experiments proved that GPX4 and Ferritin were down-regulated, which eventually triggered ferroptosis in Hep-G2 cells. Remarkably, Ru-1 showed high inhibitory activity against xenograft tumor growth in vivo (TGIR = 49%). This study shows that the complex Ru-1 could act as a novel drug candidate by triggering cell ferroptosis.

Crystal Facet Controlled Metal-Support Interaction in Uricase Mimics for Highly Efficient Hyperuricemia Treatment.

The effect of strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) has never been systematically studied in the field of nanozyme-based catalysis before. Herein, by coupling two different Pd crystal facets with MnO2, i.e., (100) by Pd cube (Pdc) and (111) by Pd icosahedron (Pdi), we observed the reconstruction of Pd atomic structure within the Pd-MnO2 interface, with the reconstructed Pdc (100) facet more disordered than Pdi (111), verifying the existence of SMSI in such coupled system. The rearranged Pd atoms in the interface resulted in enhanced uricase-like catalytic activity, with Pdc@MnO2 demonstrating the best catalytic performance. Theoretical calculations suggested that a more disordered Pd interface led to stronger interactions with intermediates during the uricolytic process. In vitro cell experiments and in vivo therapy results demonstrated excellent biocompatibility, therapeutic effect, and biosafety for their potential hyperuricemia treatment. Our work provides a brand-new perspective for the design of highly efficient uricase-mimic catalysts.

Clinical outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by intracardiac echocardiography for Chinese atrial fibrillation patients: a single-center, retrospective study.

Background: Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a novel technology with certain advantages in treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), yet there is limited research on the use of ICE in radiofrequency ablation for AF treatment in China. The aim of this study was to investigate the total fluoroscopy time and dose, safety, and effectiveness of ICE guided vs. traditional fluoroscopy (non-ICE) guided radiofrequency ablation for AF in China. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of patients who underwent ICE or traditional fluoroscopy-guided radiofrequency ablation for AF. The primary endpoint of this study was total fluoroscopy time, and the secondary endpoints included total fluoroscopy dose, acute surgery failure, transseptal puncture time, ablation time, total procedure time, and 6-month surgery success (no AF recurrence or atrial flutter). As an exploratory analysis, outcomes of interest by different types of AF were examined. Results: A total of 97 patients were included in the analysis. Forty-eight were in the ICE group and 49 were in the non-ICE group with comparable demographic and clinical characteristics at the baseline. None of patients experienced acute surgery failure with no major procedure-related complications occurred. The fluoroscopic time and dose were significantly lower in the ICE group compared to the non-ICE group (0.00 vs. 9.67±4.88 min, P<0.001; 0.00 vs. 77.10±44.28 mGy/cm2, P<0.001, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences in transseptal puncture time, ablation time and total procedure time between the two groups. There were two AF recurrences observed during the 6-month follow-up in each group (P>0.99). Conclusions: ICE significantly reduced the fluoroscopic time and dose for radiofrequency catheter ablation in AF patients. There were no significant differences in safety or effectiveness outcomes between the ICE and non-ICE groups.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction: A Roadmap for Understanding and Tackling Cardiovascular Aging.

Cardiovascular aging is a progressive remodeling process constituting a variety of cellular and molecular alterations that are closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. Therefore, gaining a deeper understanding of the changes in mitochondrial function during cardiovascular aging is crucial for preventing cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac aging is accompanied by fibrosis, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, metabolic changes, and infiltration of immune cells, collectively contributing to the overall remodeling of the heart. Similarly, during vascular aging, there is a profound remodeling of blood vessel structure. These remodeling present damage to endothelial cells, increased vascular stiffness, impaired formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), the development of arteriosclerosis, and chronic vascular inflammation. This review underscores the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiac aging, exploring its impact on fibrosis and myocardial alterations, metabolic remodeling, immune response remodeling, as well as in vascular aging in the heart. Additionally, we emphasize the significance of mitochondria-targeted therapies in preventing cardiovascular diseases in the elderly.

The upregulation and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of Extra spindle pole bodies like 1 in bladder cancer: An immunohistochemistry and high-throughput screening Evaluation.

Background: This study aimed to explore the expression level and transcriptional regulation mechanism of Extra Spindle Pole Bodies Like 1 (ESPL1) in bladder cancer (BC). Methods: A multicentre database of samples (n = 1391) was assayed for ESPL1 mRNA expression in BC and validated at the protein level by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of in-house samples (n = 202). Single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis and enrichment analysis explored ESPL1 distribution and their accompanying molecular mechanisms. ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq and Hi-C data from multiple platforms were used to investigate ESPL1 upstream transcription factors (TFs) and potential epigenetic regulatory mechanisms. Immune-related analysis, drug sensitivity and molecular docking of ESPL1 were also calculated. Furthermore, upstream microRNAs and the binding sites of ESPL1 were predicted. The expression level and early screening efficacy of miR-299-5p in blood (n = 6625) and tissues (n = 537) were examined. Results: ESPL1 was significantly overexpressed at the mRNA level (p < 0.05, SMD = 0.75; 95 % CI = 0.09, 1.40), and IHC staining of in-house samples verified this finding (p < 0.0001). ESPL1 was predominantly distributed in BC epithelial cells. Coexpressed genes of ESPL1 were enriched in cell cycle-related signalling pathways, and ESPL1 might be involved in the communication between epithelial and residual cells in the Hippo, ErbB, PI3K-Akt and Ras signalling pathways. Three TFs (H2AZ, IRF5 and HIF1A) were detected upstream of ESPL1 and presence of promoter-super enhancer and promoter-typical enhancer loops. ESPL1 expression was correlated with various immune cell infiltration levels. ESPL1 expression might promote BC growth and affect the sensitivity and therapeutic efficacy of paclitaxel and gemcitabine in BC patients. As an upstream regulator of ESPL1, miR-299-5p expression was downregulated in both the blood and tissues, possessing great potential for early screening. Conclusions: ESPL1 expression was upregulated in BC and was mainly distributed in epithelial cells. Elevated ESPL1 expression was associated with TFs at the upstream transcription start site (TSS) and distant chromatin loops of regulatory elements. ESPL1 might be an immune-related predictive and diagnostic marker for BC, and the overexpression of ESPL1 played a cancer-promoting role and affected BC patients' sensitivity to drug therapy. miR-299-5p was downregulated in BC blood and tissues and was also expected to be a novel marker for early screening.

Dinuclear gold-catalyzed divergent dechlorinative radical borylation of gem-dichloroalkanes.

The enormous and widespread use of organoboronic acids has prompted the development of innovative synthetic methodologies to meet the demands on structural diversity and functional group tolerance. The existing photoinduced defunctionalization radical borylation, typically focused on the conversion of one C-X bond (X= Br, I, or other leaving group) into only one C-B bond. Herein, we disclose a divergent radical dechloroborylation reaction enabled by dinuclear gold catalysis with visible light irradiation. A wide range of structurally diverse alkyl boronic, α-chloroboronic, and gem-diboronic esters can be synthesized in moderate to good yields (up to 92%). Its synthetic robustness is further demonstrated on a preparative scale and applied to late-stage diversification of complex molecules. The process hinges on a C-Cl bond relay activation in readily available gem-dichloroalkanes through inner-sphere electron transfer, overcoming the redox potential limits of unreactive alkyl chlorides.

Bioaccessibility and human health risks of arsenic from geological origin in lateritic red soil on construction land.

Current human health risk assessments of soil arsenic (As) contamination rarely consider bioaccessibility (IVBA), which may overestimate the health risks of soil As. The IVBA of As (As-IVBA) may differ among various soil types. This investigation of As-IVBA focused As from geological origin in a typical subtropical soil, lateritic red soil, and its risk control values. The study used the SBRC gastric phase in vitro digestion method and As speciation sequential extraction based upon phosphorus speciation extraction method. Two construction land sites (CH and HD sites) in the Pearl River Delta region were surveyed. The results revealed a high content of residual As (including scorodite, mansfieldite, orpiment, realgar, and aluminum arsenite) in the lateritic red soils at both sites (CH: 84.9%, HD: 91.7%). The content of adsorbed aluminum arsenate (CH: 3.24%, HD: 0.228%), adsorbed ferrum arsenate (CH: 8.55%, HD: 5.01%), and calcium arsenate (CH: 7.33%, HD: 3.01%) were found to be low. The bioaccessible As content was significantly positively correlated with the As content in adsorbed aluminum arsenate, adsorbed ferrum arsenate, and calcium arsenate. A small portion of these sequential extractable As speciation could be absorbed by the human body (CH: 14.9%, HD: 3.16%), posing a certain health risk. Adsorbed aluminum arsenate had the highest IVBA, followed by calcium arsenate, and adsorbed ferrum arsenate had the lowest IVBA. The aforementioned speciation characteristics of As from geological origin in lateritic red soil contributed to its lower IVBA compared to other soils. The oxidation state of As did not significantly affect As-IVBA. Based on As-IVBA, the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of soil As in the CH and HD sites decreased greatly in human health risk assessment. The results suggest that As-IVBA in lateritic red soil should be considered when assessing human health risks on construction land.
