Semiconductive coordination polymers (CPs) have recently garnered a significant amount of attention due to their widespread application in many areas. The "through-space" approach has emerged as the most versatile strategy for constructing semiconductive CPs. However, this approach often leads to the formation of unidirectional charge transport paths, resulting in anisotropic electrically conductive performance and low average conductivities in pressed pellets, thus presenting significant challenges for the practical application of semiconductive CPs. Consequently, there is a strong desire to explore simpler and more versatile strategies for designing semiconductive CPs with dual or multiple charge transport paths. Herein, we report on two semiconductive potassium hydroxamate coordination polymers, denoted as [K(HONDI)(H2O)2]n (1) and [K(HONDI)]n (2). Both compounds theoretically possess dual charge transport paths, occurring internally and externally within the π-π stacking columns of the ligands. Conductivity measurements revealed that compounds 1 and 2 both exhibit semiconductive properties, with their electrical conductivities reaching 2.3 × 10-6 and 1.9 × 10-7 S/cm, respectively, at 30 °C. Their electrically conductive performance could be attributed to theoretically biaxial "band-like" charge transport inside crystals and "hopping" charge transport between grain boundaries.

Multi-View 3D object detection (MV3D) has made tremendous progress by leveraging multiple perspective features through surrounding cameras. Despite demonstrating promising prospects in various applications, accurately detecting objects through camera view in the 3D space is extremely difficult due to the ill-posed issue in monocular depth estimation. Recently, Graph-DETR3D [12] presents a novel graph-based 3D-2D query paradigm in aggregating multi-view images for 3D object detection and achieves competitive performance. Although it enriches the query representations with 2D image features through a learnable 3D graph, it still suffers from limited depth and velocity estimation abilities due to the adoption of a single-frame input setting. To solve this problem, we introduce a unified spatial-temporal graph modeling framework to fully leverage the multi-view imagery cues under the multi-frame inputs setting. Thanks to the flexibility and sparsity of the dynamic graph architecture, we lift the original 3D graph into the 4D space with an effective attention mechanism to automatically perceive imagery information at both spatial and temporal levels. Moreover, considering the main latency bottleneck lies in the image backbone, we propose a novel dense-sparse distillation framework for multi-view 3D object detection, to reduce the computational budget while sacrificing no detection accuracy, making it more suitable for real-world deployment. To this end, we propose Graph-DETR4D, a faster and stronger multi-view 3D object detection framework, built on top of Graph-DETR3D. Extensive experiments on nuScenes and Waymo benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of Graph-DETR4D. Notably, our best model achieves 62.0% NDS on nuScenes test leaderboard.

The significant role of the cathodic binder in modulating mass transport within the catalyst layer (CL) of fuel cells is essential for optimizing cell performance. This investigation focuses on enhancing the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) through the utilization of a short-side-chain perfluoro-sulfonic acid (SSC-PFSA) ionomer as the cathode binder, referred to as SSC-MEA. This study meticulously visualizes the distinctive interpenetrating networks of ionomers and catalysts, and explicitly clarifies the triple-phase interface, unveiling the transport-friendly microstructure and transport mechanisms inherent in SSC-MEA. The SSC-MEA exhibits advantageous microstructural features, including a better-connected ionomer network and well-organized hierarchical porous structure, culminating in superior mass transfer properties. Relative to the MEA bonded by long-side-chain perfluoro-sulfonic acid (LSC-PFSA) ionomer, noted as LSC-MEA, SSC-MEA exhibits a notable peak power density (1.23 W cm-2), efficient O2 transport, and remarkable proton conductivity (65% improvement) at 65 °C and 70% relativity humidity (RH). These findings establish crucial insights into the intricate morphology-transport-performance relationship in the CL, thereby providing strategic guidance for developing highly efficient MEA.

PURPOSE: It has been reported that exhaustive exercise (EE) causes myocyte injury, and eventually damages the function of the myocardia. Albiflorin (AF) has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptosis effects. In this study, we determined whether AF could mitigate the EE-induced myocardial injury and research the potential mechanisms. METHODS: The rat model of EE was built by forced treadmill running method. Rats were intraperitoneally injected with AF before EE once daily for one week. The relative factors levels were examined by commercial kits. The apoptosis was appraised using a TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay kit. The ACSL4, GPX4, Nrf2, pAKT/AKT, and HO-1 contents were assessed by western blot. RESULTS: AF lessened EE-induced cardiac myocytes ischemic/hypoxic injury and reduced the contents of myocardial injury biomarkers in the serum. AF lessened EE-induced cardiac myocyte apoptosis, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis in myocardial tissues. However, the influences of AF were overturned by the co-treatment of AF and LY294002. AF activated the AKT/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in myocardial tissues in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: AF could curb cardiac myocytes ferroptosis, thus diminishing the EE-induced myocardial injury through activating the AKT/Nrf2/HO-1 cascade.

Glioma, a complex and aggressive brain tumor, is characterized by dysregulated immune responses within the tumor microenvironment (TME). We conducted a comprehensive analysis to elucidate the roles of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in glioma progression and their impact on the immune landscape. Using transcriptome data, we stratified glioma samples based on MDSC and Treg levels, revealing significant differences in patient survival probabilities. LASSO regression identified a gene panel associated with glioma prognosis, yielding a patient-specific risk score. Multivariate Cox regression confirmed the risk score's correlation with overall survival. An ISS (immune suppressive score) system assessed the immune landscape's impact on glioma progression and therapeutic response. Functional validation showed MDSC and Treg infiltration's relevance in glioma progression and immune modulation. Hub genes in the black module, including CCL2, LINC01503, CXCL8, CLEC2B, TIMP1, and RGS2, were identified through MCODE analysis. RGS2 expression correlated with immune cell populations and varied in glioma cells. This study sheds light on MDSCs' and Tregs' roles in glioma pathogenesis, suggesting their potential as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for personalized immunotherapeutic strategies in glioma treatment.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate whether exercise adherence and positive mental character significantly affect subjective well-being among Chinese college students during the COVID-19 pandemic and whether positive mental character plays a mediating role. Methods: The study employed questionnaires, including the Exercise Adherence Scale, the Positive Mental Character Scale, and the Subjective Well-Being Scale, which were administered to students across seven universities in Henan Province, China. A total of 1,001 participants were analyzed in the final sample. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 for descriptive statistics, independent samples T-test, correlation, and regression analyses. Furthermore, structural equation model with AMOS was conducted to examine the potential mediating effect of positive mental characteristics on the relationship between exercise adherence and subjective well-being. Results: The results indicated significant differences in exercise adherence, positive mental character, and subjective well-being between male and female participants, with males scoring higher in all three domains. Among Chinese university students during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant correlation among exercise adherence, positive mental character, and subjective well-being. Exercise adherence was found to have a significant and positive impact on both positive mental character and subjective well-being. Additionally, it was found that positive mental character had a significant positive association with subjective well-being. The mediating role of positive mental character in the relationship between exercise adherence and subjective well-being was partially supported. Discussion: Exercise adherence among Chinese college students had a significant positive association on both positive mental character and subjective well-being throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The exercise adherence can directly or indirectly enhance subjective well-being through its association with positive mental character. Therefore, positive mental and subjective well-being can be enhanced by consistent physical activity even during a pandemic.

INTRODUCTION: We aim to compare the safety and effectiveness of the KangDuo (KD)-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system and the da Vinci (DV) system for robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RARNU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted between March 2022 and September 2023. Group 1 included 29 patients undergoing KD-RARNU. Group 2 included 29 patients undergoing DV-RARNU. Patient demographic and clinical characteristics, perioperative data, and follow-up outcomes were collected prospectively and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in patient baseline demographic and preoperative characteristics between the two groups. The success rates in both groups were 100% without conversion to open or laparoscopic surgery or positive surgical margins. No significant difference was observed in docking time [242 (120-951) s vs 253 (62-498) s, P = 0.780], console time [137 (55-290) min vs 105 (62-220) min, P = 0.114], operative time [207 (121-460) min vs 185 (96-305) min, P = 0.091], EBL [50 (10-600) mL vs 50 (10-700) mL, P = 0.507], National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index scores, and postoperative serum creatinine levels between the two groups. None of the patients showed evidence of distant metastasis, local recurrence, or equipment-related adverse events during the four-week follow-up. One (3.4%) patient in Group 2 experienced postoperative enterovaginal and enterovesical fistulas (Clavien-Dindo grade III). CONCLUSIONS: The KD-SR-01 system is safe and effective for RARNU compared to the DV Si or Xi system. Further randomized controlled studies with larger sample sizes and longer durations are required.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production driven by solar energy has received enormous attention due to its high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness characteristics. Searching for new photocatalytic materials for H2O2 production is one of the most important targets. In this work, a new three-dimensional (3D) uranyl-organic framework material was constructed with mixed ligands via a solvothermal reaction and used for photocatalytic H2O2 production. The mixed ligand strategy not only benefits the construction of a 3D uranyl-organic framework but also introduces strong photon absorption groups into the framework. The thiophene and pyridine rings in the framework enhance photon absorption and carrier transfer. In addition, with the assistance of the hydrogen abstraction reaction of uranyl centers, the H2O2 production rate reaches 345 µmol h-1 g-1. This study provides a new blueprint for exploring the artificial photosynthesis of H2O2 through uranium-based metal-organic frameworks.

Moderate-to-large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been linked to increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), while lung ultrasound score (LUS) has been demonstrated to accurately predict BPD. We aimed to investigate the correlation of LUS as a marker of interstitial pulmonary edema and the severity of the ductal shunt in predicting future BPD development in very preterm infants. This secondary analysis of a prospective study recruited preterm infants with gestational age < 30 weeks. LUS on postnatal days 7 and 14, and echocardiographic data [PDA diameter and left atrium-to-aortic root ratio (LA/Ao)] near LUS acquisition were collected. Correlation coefficient, logistics regression analysis, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) procedure were used. A statistically significant and positive correlation existed between LUS and PDA diameter (ρ = 0.415, ρ = 0.581, and p < 0.001) and LA/Ao (ρ = 0.502, ρ = 0.743, and p < 0.001) at postnatal days 7 and 14, respectively, and the correlations of LUS and echocardiographic data were generally stronger in the non-BPD group. In the prediction of BPD, LUS incorporating echocardiographic data at postnatal days 7 obtained significantly higher predictive performance compared to LUS alone (AUROC 0.878 [95% CI 0.801-0.932] vs. AUROC 0.793 [95% CI 0.706-0.865]; Delong test, p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS: There is a statistically significant correlation between LUS and echocardiographic data, suggesting their potential role as early predictors for respiratory outcomes in very preterm infants. WHAT IS KNOWN: ⢠Lung ultrasound score (LUS) has shown good reliability in predicting bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) development. ⢠Some echocardiographic data that characterized ventricular function was reported to be used to predict severe BPD. WHAT IS NEW: ⢠There is a positive and statistically significant correlation between LUS and echocardiographic data at postnatal days 7 and 14. ⢠The integrated use of LUS and echocardiographic data may have potential value in predicting BPD.

In recent years, wearable electrocardiograms have risen in popularity as a solution for personal monitoring of heart activity. However, this technology has limitations in diagnostic capability and structural function monitoring. Meanwhile, auscultation of the heart remains a fundamental tool for physicians in diagnosis and monitoring of heart disease largely unaddressed in a convenient wearable format. The present work outlines a promising system currently under investigation, allowing user-initiated 10-second chest-sound recordings to be transmitted over Bluetooth-Low-Energy, with an innovative package design providing inherent noise reduction and a high signal-to-noise ratio. The device has been tested on healthy individuals, and system response has been validated against calibrated electrocardiogram recording equipment to analyze signal capture fidelity.

Practical application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is severely impeded by the random shuttling of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), sluggish sulfur redox kinetics, and uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites, particularly under high sulfur loading and lean electrolyte conditions. Here, nitrogen-doped bronze-phase TiO2(B) nanosheets with oxygen vacancies (OVs) grown in situ on MXenes layers (N-TiO2- x(B)-MXenes) as multifunctional interlayers are designed. The N-TiO2- x(B)-MXenes show reduced bandgap of 1.10 eV and high LiPSs adsorption-conversion-nucleation-decomposition efficiency, leading to remarkably enhanced sulfur redox kinetics. Moreover, they also have lithiophilic nature that can effectively suppress dendrites growth. The cell based on the N-TiO2- x(B)-MXenes interlayer under sulfur loading of 2.5 mg cm-2 delivers superior cycling performance with a high specific capacity of 690.7 mAh g-1 over 600 cycles at 1.0 C. It still has a notable areal capacity of 6.15 mAh cm-2 after 50 cycles even under a high sulfur loading of 7.2 mg cm-2 and a low electrolyte-to-sulfur (E/S) ratio of 6.4 µL mg-1. The Li-symmetrical battery with the N-TiO2- x(B)-MXenes interlayer showcases a low over-potential fluctuation with 21.0 mV throughout continuous lithium plating/stripping for 1000 h. This work offers valuable insights into the manipulation of defects and heterostructures to achieve high-energy Li-S batteries.

Spautin-1 is a well-known macroautophagy/autophagy inhibitor via suppressing the deubiquitinases USP10 and USP13 and promoting the degradation of the PIK3C3/VPS34-BECN1 complex, while its effect on selective autophagy remains poorly understood. Mitophagy is a selective form of autophagy for removal of damaged and superfluous mitochondria via the autophagy-lysosome pathway. Here, we report a surprising discovery that, while spautin-1 remains as an effective autophagy inhibitor, it promotes PINK1-PRKN-dependent mitophagy induced by mitochondrial damage agents. Mechanistically, spautin-1 facilitates the stabilization and activation of the full-length PINK1 at the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) via binding to components of the TOMM complex (TOMM70 and TOMM20), leading to the disruption of the mitochondrial import of PINK1 and prevention of PARL-mediated PINK1 cleavage. Moreover, spautin-1 induces neuronal mitophagy in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) in a PINK-1-PDR-1-dependent manner. Functionally, spautin-1 is capable of improving associative learning capability in an Alzheimer disease (AD) C. elegans model. In summary, we report a novel function of spautin-1 in promoting mitophagy via the PINK1-PRKN pathway. As deficiency of mitophagy is closely implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, the pro-mitophagy function of spautin-1 might suggest its therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative disorders such as AD.Abbreviations: AD, Alzheimer disease; ATG, autophagy related; BafA1, bafilomycin A1; CALCOCO2/NDP52, calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2; CCCP, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone; COX4/COX IV, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4; EBSS, Earle's balanced salt; ECAR, extracellular acidification rate; GFP, green fluorescent protein; IA, isoamyl alcohol; IMM, inner mitochondrial membrane; MAP1LC3/LC3, microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MMP, mitochondrial membrane potential; mtDNA, mitochondrial DNA; nDNA, nuclear DNA; O/A, oligomycin-antimycin; OCR, oxygen consumption rate; OMM, outer mitochondrial membrane; OPTN, optineurin; PARL, presenilin associated rhomboid like; PINK1, PTEN induced kinase 1; PRKN, parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; p-Ser65-Ub, phosphorylation of Ub at Ser65; TIMM23, translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 23; TOMM, translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane; USP10, ubiquitin specific peptidase 10; USP13, ubiquitin specific peptidase 13; VAL, valinomycin; YFP, yellow fluorescent protein.

BACKGROUND: Some challenges still exist with single-target B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies due to variable or negative BCMA expression, although they have yielded remarkable efficacy in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. We developed anti-BCMA/GPRC5D bispecific CARs to mitigate the limitations and potentiate the functions of CAR T cells. METHODS: This single-arm, phase 1 trial was conducted at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University (Xuzhou, China). The trial enrolled patients aged 18-75 years with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-3. Anti-BCMA/GPRC5D bispecific CAR T cells were administered at 0·5 × 106, 1·0 × 106, 2·0 × 106, and 4·0 × 106 CAR T cells per kg in the dose-escalation phase, with additional patients included at the dose selected for the dose-expansion phase. The primary endpoint was safety, which included dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose. Activity was also evaluated as a secondary endpoint. The maximum tolerated dose was chosen for the dose-expansion phase. Safety and activity analyses were done in all patients who received anti-BCMA/GPRC5D bispecific CAR T cells as defined in the protocol. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05509530) and is complete. FINDINGS: Between Sept 1, 2022, and Nov 3, 2023, 24 patients were enrolled and underwent apheresis. Three patients were excluded after apheresis (two patients discontinued due to rapid disease progression and one patient was withdrawn because of failed manufacture of CAR T cells), so 21 patients were infused with anti-BCMA/GPRC5D bispecific CAR T cells. Median follow-up was 5·8 months (IQR 5·2-6·7). Median age was 62 years (IQR 56-67). Eight (38%) patients were male, and 13 (62%) female. All patients were Chinese. At the 4·0 × 106 CAR T cells per kg dose, two patients had dose-limiting toxicities, of whom one died of subarachnoid haemorrhage (which was not considered to be related to the study treatment). The maximum tolerated dose was identified as 2·0 × 106 CAR T cells per kg. The most common grade 3 or worse adverse events were haematological toxicities in 19 (90%) patients (except lymphopenia). 15 (71%) patients had cytokine release syndrome, of which all cases were grade 1 or 2. One case of grade 1 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) was observed in a patient who received 4·0 × 106 CAR T cells per kg. No ICANS or grade 3 or worse organ toxicities were observed in patients who received 0·5-2·0 × 106 CAR T cells per kg. The overall response rate was 86% (18 of 21 patients), with 13 (62%) patients having a complete response or better, and 17 (81%) patients having measurable residual disease negativity. Of the 12 patients who received 2·0 × 106 CAR T cells per kg (three in the dose-escalation phase and an addition nine in the dose-expansion phase), the overall response rate was 92% (11 of 12 patients) with nine (75%) patients having a complete response or better. INTERPRETATION: Anti-BCMA/GPRC5D bispecific CAR T cells show a good safety profile and encouraging activity in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

RÉSUMÉ
The effectiveness, tolerance, and safety of pesticides must be established before their scientific or rational. This study evaluates the field control efficacy of broflanilide, tetraniliprole, and chlorantraniliprole in combating Spodoptera frugiperda in maize crops, as well as the resistance of S. frugiperda to these three diamide pesticides after exposure. By assessing field control efficiency, toxicity, effects on development and reproduction, and detoxification enzyme activity of these diamide pesticides on S. frugiperda, highlights broflanilide's significant insecticidal potential. A highly sensitive and efficient method using QuEChERS/HPLCMS/MS was developed to simultaneously detect residues of these three pesticides on maize. Initial concentrations of broflanilide, tetraniliprole, and chlorantraniliprole ranged from 2.13 to 4.02â¯mg/kg, with their respective half-lives varying between 1.23 and 1.51 days. Following foliar application, by the time of harvest, the terminal residue concentrations of these pesticides were all under 0.01â¯mg/kg. Chronic dietary intake risk assessments and cumulative chronic dietary exposure for three pesticides indicated that the general population's terminal residue concentration was within acceptable limits. Not only does this research provide valuable insights into field control efficiency, insecticidal effects, resistance, residues, and risk assessment results of broflanilide, tetraniliprole, and chlorantraniliprole on maize, but additionally, it also paves the way for setting suitable Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) values based on pre-harvest interval values, rational dosage, and application frequency.

Background: MIL62, a novel glycoengineered type â ¡ anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, with a nearly completely afucosylated N-glycans in Fc region, has demonstrated superior activity compared with rituximab and obinutuzumab in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Methods: This multicentre, single-arm, phase 1b/2 trial aimed to explore the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of MIL62 combined with lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Eligible patients included those who had histopathologically confirmed CD20 positive FL (grade 1-3a) or MZL and failed to be treated with rituximab. Patients received intravenously infused MIL62 1000 mg (cycle 1: day 1, 15; cycles 2-8: day 1, cycles 10 and 12: day 1) combined with oral lenalidomide (once a day, days 2-22, the initial dose was 10 mg, and the maximum dose was 20 mg) for 12 cycles, 28 days as a cycle. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigator per Lugano 2014 criteria every 3 cycles. This study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04110301). Findings: Between November 22, 2019 and December 22, 2020, 54 patients were enrolled from 11 hospitals in China and received study treatment. Fifty patients were included in the efficacy analysis set, and 43 patients (86%, 95% CI: 73, 94) achieved objective response, meeting the pre-specified primary endpoint. Disease control rate was 96% (48/50, 95% CI: 86, 100), proportion of patients with duration of response (DoR) > 6 months was 77% (33/43). The median follow-up for survival was 12.3 months (IQR 12.0-12.6). The 1-year progression-free survival rate was 72% (95% CI: 57, 83), 9-month DoR rate was 74% (95% CI: 58, 85), and 1-year overall survival rate was 98% (95% CI: 85, 100). Most common TRAEs were neutropenia (93%, 50/54), leukopenia (85% 46/54), thrombocytopenia (61% 33/54), lymphopenia (32% 17/54), and alanine aminotransferase increased (20% 11/54). Interpretation: MIL62 combined with lenalidomide showed promising efficacy in patients with R/R FL and MZL. A multicentre, randomized, open-label, phase â ¢ trial of MIL62 combined with lenalidomide versus lenalidomide in anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody refractory FL patients is ongoing (NCT04834024).

In the circulating water system of coastal power plants, various kinds of ions have a great influence on the formation and growth of CaCO3 scales. This paper focuses on investigating the influence of existing ions on the pulse electrodeposition behaviors of CaCO3 scales. Different concentrations of ions, such as Fe3+, Mg2+, PO43- and SiO32-, are introduced to simulate the actual seawater environment, and their influence on the CaCO3 scale deposition behaviors is assessed by linear sweep voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. The surface coverage of the CaCO3 scale layer is evaluated through the residual current density and polarization resistance values, while the crystal structure and surface compactness of the layer are confirmed by the scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer tests. Results indicate that high concentrations of Mg2+, Fe3+, and PO43- ions have the most significant inhibitory effect on the pulse electrodeposition of CaCO3 scales, among which the inhibition effect of Mg2+ ions is mainly reflected in the change of crystal morphology of CaCO3, that is, the crystallization growth process is inhibited. The inhibition effect of PO43- ions is mainly reflected in the gradually reduced coverage and density of CaCO3 crystals on the electrode surface, suggesting that the crystallization nucleation process is inhibited, while Fe3+ ions have a certain inhibition effect on both the crystallization nucleation and growth processes. Furthermore, lower concentrations of SiO32- ions also display a significant inhibition effect on the crystallization nucleation and growth process, and the inhibition effect weakens with increased concentration. This study provides a theoretical basis for exploring the removal of ions in the industrial water softening field.

Doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) has limited its clinical application. It is crucial to discover more effective substances to treat DIC. In this study, a zebrafish model is used to evaluate the inhibition of DIC in the lipids in American ginseng (AGL) compared with the lipids in soybeans (SOL) and in egg yolks (YOL). A lipidomics approach based on Q Exactive LC-MS/MS is employed to monitor, identify, and analyze the lipid composition of three lipid samples. The H9c2 cell was used to investigate the key lipid in AGL for its effect mechanism in alleviating DIC. The results showed that AGL alleviated DIC on zebrafish by increasing the stroke volume, heart rate, and fractional shortening compared to SOL and YOL. A total of 216 differential lipids were identified among the three types of lipids using lipidomics. Besides, a fatty acid with 18 carbons and four double bonds, FA (18:4) was the dominant proportion in AGL and possessed the highest variable importance of projection (VIP) value. FA (18:4) also showed significant bioactivity to alleviate DIC in zebrafish. Furthermore, FA (18:4) reduced the ferric ions and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, increased GPX4 expression, and relieved mitochondrial damage to inhibit Dox-induced ferroptosis in H9c2 cells. Therefore, the composition characteristic and anti-DIC effect of AGL were revealed; FA (18,4) was identified for the first time to be a novel active component of AGL against DIC by inhibiting ferroptosis. These results provide a new understanding of AG-derived bioactive lipids and their potential benefits for heart health.

Beta-1,3-glucuronosyltransferase (B3GAT3), overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and negatively correlated to prognosis, is a promising target for cancer therapy. Currently, no studies have reported small molecule inhibitors of B3GAT3. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of small-molecule inhibitors of B3GAT3 through virtual screening and structure optimization. The lead compound TMLB-C16 exhibited potent B3GAT3 inhibitory activity (KD = 3.962 µM) by effectively suppressing proliferation and migration, and inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MHCC-97H (IC50= 6.53 ± 0.18 µM) and HCCLM3 (IC50= 6.22 ± 0.23 µM) cells. Furthermore, compound TMLB-C16 demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetic properties with a relatively high bioavailability of 68.37%. It significantly inhibited tumor growth in both MHCC-97H and HCCLM3 xenograft tumor models without causing obvious toxicity. These results indicate that compound TMLB-C16 is an effective small molecule inhibitor of B3GAT3, providing a basis for the future development of B3GAT3-targeted drugs.
