RESUMO

High tap density electrodes play a vital role in developing rechargeable batteries with high volumetric capacities, however, developing advanced electrodes with satisfied capacity, excellent structural stability, and achieving the resulted batteries with a high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and good rate capability with long lifespan simultaneously, are still an intractable challenge. Herein, an ultrahigh ICE of 94.1% and stable cycling of carbon-free iron selenides anode is enabled with a high tap density of 2.57 g cm-3 up to 4000 cycles at 5 A g-1 through strain-modulating by constructing a homologous heterostructure. Systematical characterization and theoretical calculation show that the self-adaptive homologous heterointerface alleviates the stress of the iron selenide anodes during cycling processes and subsequently improves the stability of the assembled batteries. Additionally, the well-formed homologous heterostructure also contributes to the rapid Na+ diffusion kinetic, increased charge transfer, and good reversibility of the transformation reactions, endowing the appealing rate capability of carbon-free iron selenides. The proposed design strategy provides new insight and inspiration to aid in the ongoing quest for advanced electrode materials with high tap densities and excellent stability.

RESUMO

The widespread use of copper and tetracycline as growth promoters in the breeding industry poses a potential threat to environmental health. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, the potential adverse effects of copper and tetracycline on the gut microbiota remain unknown. Herein, mice were fed different concentrations of copper and/or tetracycline for 6 weeks to simulate real life-like exposure in the breeding industry. Following the exposure, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), potential pathogens, and other pathogenic factors were analyzed in mouse feces. The co-exposure of copper with tetracycline significantly increased the abundance of ARGs and enriched more potential pathogens in the gut of the co-treated mice. Copper and/or tetracycline exposure increased the abundance of bacteria carrying either ARGs, metal resistance genes, or virulence factors, contributing to the widespread dissemination of potentially harmful genes posing a severe risk to public health. Our study provides insights into the effects of copper and tetracycline exposure on the gut resistome and potential pathogens, and our findings can help reduce the risks associated with antibiotic resistance under the One Health framework.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that predominantly affects exocrine glands. Previous studies have demonstrated that upregulated interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in SS triggers ferroptosis in salivary gland epithelial cells (SGECs), resulting in impaired salivary gland secretion. However, the immune cells responsible for secreting IFN-γ remain unclear. Therefore, this study conducted bioinformatics analysis and molecular validation to identify the origin of IFN-γ in SS salivary gland. METHODS: The 'limma' package in R software was utilized to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the human SS dataset. Subsequently, the identified DEGs were compared with the ferroptosis database and screened through Cytoscape to determine candidate genes. The cellular localization and expression patterns of candidate genes were further confirmed in the salivary gland single-cell RNA sequence (scRNA-seq) data set from healthy control and SS mice. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo studies were performed to analyze the effect of CD4 T-secreted IFN-γ on SGECs' ferroptosis and functions. RESULTS: Upregulated TLR4, IFNG, and IL33 were screened as candidates ferroptosis ferroptosis-inducing genes in SS salivary glands. The association of IFNG and IL33 with CD4 T cells was established through immune infiltration analysis. The expression of IFN-γ on CD4 T cells was robustly higher compared with that of IL33 as evidenced by scRNA-seq and immunofluorescence co-localization. Subsequent experiments conducted on candidate genes consistently demonstrated the potent ability of IFN-γ to induce SGECs' ferroptosis and inhibit AQP5 expression. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that CD4 T cell-secreted IFN-γ in SS induces SGECs' ferroptosis and inhibits AQP5 expression.

RESUMO

The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is one of the most fascinating transport properties in condensed matter physics. However, the AHE magnitude, which mainly depends on net spin polarization and band topology, is generally small in oxides and thus limits potential applications. Here, we demonstrate a giant enhancement of AHE in a LaCoO3-induced 5d itinerant ferromagnet SrIrO3 by hydrogenation. The anomalous Hall resistivity and anomalous Hall angle, which are two of the most critical parameters in AHE-based devices, are found to increase to 62.2 µΩ·cm and 3%, respectively, showing an unprecedentedly large enhancement ratio of ∼10000%. Theoretical analysis suggests the key roles of Berry curvature in enhancing AHE. Furthermore, the hydrogenation concomitantly induces the significant elevation of Curie temperature from 75 to 160 K and 40-fold reinforcement of coercivity. Such giant regulation and very large AHE magnitude observed in SrIrO3 could pave the path for 5d oxide devices.

RESUMO

As a high energy density power system, lithium-carbon dioxide (Li-CO2 ) batteries play an important role in addressing the fossil fuel crisis issues and alleviating the greenhouse effect. However, the sluggish transformation kinetic of CO2 and the difficult decomposition of discharge products impede the achievement of large capacity, small overpotential, and long life span of the batteries, which require exploring efficient catalysts to resolve these problems. In this review, the main focus is on the hot spot regulation strategies of the catalysts, which include the modulation of the active sites, the designing of microstructure, and the construction of composition. The recent progress of promising catalysis with hot spot regulated strategies is systematically addressed. Critical challenges are also presented and perspectives to provide useful guidance for the rational design of highly efficient catalysts for practical advanced Li-CO2 batteries are proposed.

RESUMO

Designing a broad-spectrum gas sensor capable of identifying gas components in complex environments, such as mixed atmospheres or extreme temperatures, is a significant concern for various technologies, including energy, geological science, and planetary exploration. The main challenge lies in finding materials that exhibit high chemical stability and wide working temperature range. Materials that amplify signals through non-chemical methods could open up new sensing avenues. Here, we present the discovery of a broad-spectrum gas sensor utilizing correlated two-dimensional electron gas at a delta-doped LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface with LaFeO3. Our study reveals that a back-gating on this two-dimensional electron gas can induce a non-volatile metal to insulator transition, which consequently can activate the two-dimensional electron gas to sensitively and quantitatively probe very broad gas species, no matter whether they are polar, non-polar, or inert gases. Different gas species cause resistance change at their sublimation or boiling temperature and a well-defined phase transition angle can quantitatively determine their partial pressures. Such unique correlated two-dimensional electron gas sensor is not affected by gas mixtures and maintains a wide operating temperature range. Furthermore, its readout is a simple measurement of electric resistance change, thus providing a very low-cost and high-efficient broad-spectrum sensing technique.

RESUMO

Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease in middle and old-aged women with a dry mucosal surface, which is caused by the dysfunction of secretory glands, such as the oral cavity, eyeballs, and pharynx. Pathologically, Sjogren's syndrome are characterized by lymphocyte infiltration into the exocrine glands and epithelial cell destruction caused by autoantibodies Ro/SSA and La/SSB. At present, the exact pathogenesis of Sjogren's syndrome is unclear. Evidence suggests epithelial cell death and the subsequent dysfunction of salivary glands as the main causes of xerostomia. This review summarizes the modes of salivary gland epithelial cell death and their role in Sjogren's syndrome progression. The molecular mechanisms involved in salivary gland epithelial cell death during Sjogren's syndrome as potential leads to treating the disease are also discussed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Restoration of salivary gland function in Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is still a challenge. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) derived exosomes had shown anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, immunomodulatory, and tissue function restorative abilities. However, the salivary gland function restoration potential of DPSCs-derived exosomes (DPSC-Exos) during SS has not been investigated yet. METHODS: DPSC-Exos was isolated by ultracentrifugation methods and characterized. Salivary gland epithelial cells (SGEC) were treated with interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) to mimic SS in vitro and cultured with or without DPSC-Exos. SGEC survival and aquaporin 5 (AQP5) expression were analyzed. mRNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed in IFN-γ vs. DPSC-Exos+ IFN-γ treated SGEC. Non-obese diabetic (NOD)/ltj female mice (SS model), were intravenously administered with DPSC-Exos, and salivary gland functions and SS pathogenicity were analyzed. Furthermore, the mRNA sequencing and bioinformatics predicted mechanism of the therapeutic effect of DPSC-Exos was further investigated both in vitro and in vivo using RT-qPCR, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, flowcytometry analysis. RESULTS: DPSC-Exos partially rescued IFN-γ triggered SGEC death. IFN-γ inhibited AQP5 expression in SGEC and DPSC-Exos reversed this effect. Transcriptome analysis showed GPER was the upregulated DEG in DPSC-Exos-treated SGEC with a positive correlation with salivary secretion-related DEGs. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were mainly attributed to estrogen 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity, extracellular exosome function, cAMP signaling, salivary secretion, and estrogen signaling. Intravenous injection of DPSC-Exos in NOD/ltj mice alleviated the SS syndrome as indicated by the increased salivary flow rate, attenuated glandular inflammation, and increased AQP5 expression. GPER was also upregulated in the salivary gland of DPSC-Exos-treated NOD/ltj mice compared with the PBS-treated NOD/ltj mice. IFN-γ+DPSC-Exos-treated SGEC showed higher expression of AQP5, p-PKA, cAMP, and intracellular Ca2+ levels compared with IFN-γ-treated SGEC. These effects were reversed by the inhibition of GPER. CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that DPSC-Exos revitalize salivary gland epithelial cell function during SS via the GPER-mediated cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway suggesting the possible therapeutic potential of DPSC-Exos in SS-treatment.

RESUMO

Edible seaweed consumption is an essential route of human exposure to complex organoarsenicals, including arsenosugars and arsenosugar phospholipids. However, the effects of gut microbiota on the metabolism and bioavailability of arsenosugars in vivo are unknown. Herein, two nori and two kelp samples with phosphate arsenosugar and sulfonate arsenosugar, respectively, as the predominant arsenic species, were administered to normal mice and gut microbiota-disrupted mice treated with the broad-spectrum antibiotic cefoperazone for 4 weeks. Following exposure, the community structures of the gut microbiota, total arsenic concentrations, and arsenic species in excreta and tissues were analyzed. Total arsenic excreted in feces and urine did not differ significantly between normal and antibiotic-treated mice fed with kelp samples. However, the total urinary arsenic of normal mice fed with nori samples was significantly higher (p < 0.05) (urinary arsenic excretion factor, 34-38 vs 5-7%), and the fecal total arsenic was significantly lower than in antibiotic-treated mice. Arsenic speciation analysis revealed that most phosphate arsenosugars in nori were converted to arsenobetaine (53.5-74.5%) when passing through the gastrointestinal tract, whereas a large portion of sulfonate arsenosugar in kelp was resistant to speciation changes and was excreted in feces intact (64.1-64.5%). Normal mice exhibited greater oral bioavailability of phosphate arsenosugar from nori than sulfonate arsenosugar from kelp (34-38 vs 6-9%). Our work provides insights into organoarsenical metabolism and their bioavailability in the mammalian gut.

RESUMO

The phyllosphere is a fluctuant micro-environment habitat that harbors diverse microbial communities that have the potential to influence plant growth through their effect on host fitness. However, we know little about the driving factors of phyllosphere microbial functional traits, e.g., genes related to nutrient cycling and microbial community structure under anthropic disturbance. Here, we characterized phyllosphere microbial communities and the abundance of genes related to nutrient cycling from diverse plant species between urban and natural habitats. We measured leaf functional traits to investigate the potential drivers of the phyllosphere microbial profile. Results indicated that phyllosphere microbial communities differed significantly between urban and natural habitats, and that this variation was dependent upon plant species. Host plant species had a greater influence on the abundance of genes involved in nutrient cycling in the phyllosphere than habitat. In addition, phyllosphere microbial diversity and functional gene abundance were significantly correlated. Furthermore, host leaf functional traits (e.g., specific leaf area and nutrient content) were potential driving factors of both phyllosphere microbial community structure and the abundance of genes involved in nutrient cycling. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the phyllosphere microbiome and its biotic and abiotic controlling factors, which improves our understanding of plant-microbe interactions and their ecosystem functions under anthropic disturbance.

RESUMO

Although online health communities are popular in supporting mental health, factors leading to the helpfulness of mental health information are still under-investigated. Based on the elaboration likelihood model and motivation theory, we incorporate two types of health information-related constructs, i.e., information quality (central route) and responders' effort (peripheral route), and adopt reputation as an extrinsic motivation to build our model. We crawl data from a Chinese online mental health community and extract 11 key variables, and then analyze the model with negative binomial regression. The empirical results indicate that the effect of the length of health information on its helpfulness votes is positively significant, while the effect of readability of health information on its helpfulness votes is relatively negative. In terms of responders' effort, both the timelines of the response and interactive feedback have a significant positive impact on helpfulness of health information votes, while these effects are negatively moderated by the online reputation of responders. This study contributes to the literature on information evaluation mechanisms in online health communities.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of exocrine glands, resulting in dry mouth and eyes. Currently, there is no effective treatment for SS, and the mechanisms associated with inadequate salivary secretion are poorly understood. METHODS: In this study, we used NOD mice model to monitor changes in mice's salivary secretion and water consumption. Tissue morphology of the submandibular glands was examined by H&E staining, and Immunohistochemical detected the expression of AQP5 (an essential protein in salivary secretion). Global gene expression profiling was performed on submandibular gland tissue of extracted NOD mice model using RNA-seq. Subsequently, a series of bioinformatics analyses of transcriptome sequencing was performed, including differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identification, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis, PPI network construction, hub gene identification, and the validity of diagnostic indicators using the dataset GSE40611. Finally, IFN-γ was used to treat the cells, the submandibular gland tissue of NOD mice model was extracted, and RT-qPCR was applied to verify the expression of hub genes. RESULTS: We found that NOD mice model had reduced salivary secretion and increased water consumption. H&E staining suggests acinar destruction and basement membrane changes in glandular tissue. Immunohistochemistry detects a decrease in AQP5 immunostaining within acinar. In transcriptome sequencing, 42 overlapping DEGs were identified, and hub genes (REN, A2M, SNCA, KLK3, TTR, and AZGP1) were identified as initiating targets for insulin signaling. In addition, insulin signaling and cAMP signaling are potential pathways for regulating salivary secretion and constructing a regulatory relationship between target-cAMP signaling-salivary secretion. CONCLUSION: The new potential targets and signal axes for regulating salivary secretion provide a strategy for SS therapy in a clinical setting.

RESUMO

The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) limits the commercialization of oxygen electrochemistry, which plays a key role in renewable energy technologies such as fuel cells and electrolyzers. Herein, a facile and practical strategy is developed to successfully incorporate Ir single atoms into the lattice of transition metal oxides (TMOs). The chemical environment of Ir and its neighboring lattice oxygen is modulated, and the lattice oxygen provides lone-pair electrons and charge balance to stabilize Ir single atoms, resulting in the enhancement of both OER activity and durability. In particular, Ir0.08 Co2.92 O4 NWs exhibit an excellent mass activity of 1343.1 A g-1 and turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.04 s-1 at overpotentials of 300 mV. And this catalyst also displays significant stability in acid at 10 mA cm-2 over 100 h. Overall water splitting using Pt/C as the hydrogen evolution reaction catalyst and Ir0.08 Co2.92 O4 NWs as the OER catalyst takes only a cell voltage of 1.494 V to achieve 10 mA cm-2 with a perfect stability. This work demonstrates a simple approach to produce highly active and acid-stable transition metal oxides electrocatalysts with trace Ir.

RESUMO

Investigation on structures in the high-harmonic spectrum has provided profuse information of molecular structure and dynamics in intense laser fields, based on which techniques of molecular ultrafast dynamics imaging have been developed. Combining ab initio calculations and experimental measurements on the high-harmonic spectrum of the CO_{2} molecule, we find a novel dip structure in the low-energy region of the harmonic spectrum which is identified as fingerprints of participation of deeper-lying molecular orbitals in the process and decodes the underlying attosecond multichannel coupling dynamics. Our work sheds new light on the ultrafast dynamics of molecules in intense laser fields.

RESUMO

The recyclable utilization of waste biomass is increasingly important for the development of a sustainable society. Here, the sawdust-derived activated carbon (SD-AC) has been prepared via a convenient H3PO4-based activation method and further trialed as an electrode for use as a high-performance symmetric supercapacitor. The as-prepared SD-AC possesses a hierarchically porous structure with micropores (0.55 nm) and mesopores (2.58 nm), accounting for its high specific surface area of 621 m2 g-1, with a pore volume of 0.35 cm3 g-1. Such a hierarchically porous structure can offer a favorable pathway for fast ion penetration and transportation, enhancing its electrochemical performance. As a result, the SD-AC electrode exhibits a maximum specific capacitance of up to 244.1 F g-1 at 1.0 A g-1, a high rate capability (129.06 F g-1 at 20 A g-1), and an excellent cycling performance, with 87% retention over 10,000 cycles at 10 A g-1. Of particular note is that the SD-AC-based symmetric supercapacitor achieves a maximum energy density of 19.9 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 650 W kg-1, with a long-term cycle lifespan. This work showcases the recyclable utilization of waste biomass for the preparation of high-value activated carbon for efficient energy storage.

RESUMO

To reduce the corrosion of Q235 steel, environment-friendly and efficient N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were synthesized using 4-amino salicylic acid (4-ASA) and l-histidine (l-His) as precursors. The corrosion inhibition behavior of N-CDs for Q235 steel in 1 M HCl solution was systematically investigated using a weight-loss experiment, an electrochemical test, and corrosion morphology. Results showed that N-CDs could effectively inhibit the corrosion of Q235 steel, and the inhibitory efficiency reached 93% at 50 mg L-1. Quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics were used to study the inhibition mechanism of N-CDs. The results demonstrated that N-CDs exhibited a strong adsorption force on metal and the adsorption process followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, indicating physical/chemical mixed adsorption.

RESUMO

We use a Wigner distribution-like function based on the strong field approximation theory to obtain the time-energy distributions and the ionization time distributions of electrons ionized by an XUV pulse alone and in the presence of an infrared (IR) pulse. In the case of a single XUV pulse, although the overall shape of the ionization time distribution resembles the XUV-envelope, its detail shows dependence on the emission direction of the electron and the carrier-envelope phase of the pulse, which mainly results from the low-energy interference structure. It is further found that the electron from the counter-rotating term plays an important role in the interference. In the case of the two-color pulse, both the time-energy distributions and the ionization time distributions change with varying IR field. Our analysis demonstrates that the IR field not only modifies the final electron kinetic energy but also changes the electron's emission time, which is attributed to the change of the electric field induced by the IR pulse. Moreover, the ionization time distributions of the photoelectrons emitted from atoms with higher ionization energy are also given, which show less impact of the IR field on the electron dynamics.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: LncRNAs are closely associated with many human major diseases, however, the roles of lncRNAs in sepsis-induced lung injury remain unclear. METHODS: High-throughput sequencing was used to detect the changes in lncRNA expression profile in alveolar macrophages after LPS stimulation. The BALF of patients with sepsis-induced lung injury was collected. Rats with CLP-induced septic lung injury were treated with sh-lncRNA-5657 via intravenous injection. NR8383 cells were transfected with lentiviral vectors expressing lncRNA-5657, lncRNA-5657 smart silencer, or si-spns2. The BALF cells expression levels of lncRNA-5657 and proinflammatory cytokines in BALF of patients and rats as well as in rat macrophages were measured. Changes in histopathologic score, lung wet/dry weight ratio, and spns2 expression in macrophages were examined. The relationship between lncRNA-5657 and its potential target gene spns2 was validated using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS: The lncRNA expression profile of LPS-stimulated macrophages demonstrated that lncRNA-5657 showed the greatest fold-change. The BALF cells of patients with sepsis-induced ARDS and the lung tissue of rats with CLP-induced sepsis had significantly increased lncRNA-5657 levels. LncRNA-5657 silencing alleviated CLP-induced lung inflammation in rats. In NR8383 cells, lncRNA-5657 overexpression enhanced, whereas lncRNA-5657 silencing attenuated the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and spns2. A dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that lncRNA-5657 interacted with the promoter of the spns2 gene. Spns2 silencing alleviated LPS-induced inflammatory response and blocked the proinflammatory function of lncRNA-5657 in alveolar macrophages. CONCLUSION: LncRNA-5657 is closely associated with sepsis-induce lung injury. In vitro and in vivo data demonstrated that LncRNA-5657 silencing alleviates sepsis-induced lung injury by inhibiting lung inflammatory response via suppressing spns2 expression.

RESUMO

Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) is a new member of Circovirus, which could cause various symptoms in infected pigs. It has been reported in many countries and detected from various animals. This study retrospectively analyzed serum samples that were randomly collected from 1,499 clinically healthy cattle in Shandong province from 2011 to 2018. The PCV3 DNA was detected in 28.95% (434/1,499) of samples. Twenty-seven cap genes of PCV3 were sequenced and compared with seventy reference sequences. They were in several different branches, but all belonged to PCV3b. The results indicated that PCV3 was prevalent in health cattle in Shandong province of China. Though infected cattle did not show any clinical symptoms, they could be a reservoir for the virus and probably transferred them back to pigs.

RESUMO

The beef cattle rumen is a heterogenous microbial ecosystem that is necessary for the host to digest food and support growth. The importance of the rumen microbiota (RM) is also widely recognized for its critical roles in metabolism and immunity. The level of health is indicated by a dynamic RM distribution. We performed high-throughput sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene to compare microbial populations between rumens in beef cattle with or without doxycycline treatment to assess dynamic microbiotic shifts following antibiotic administration. The results of the operational taxonomic unit analysis and alpha and beta diversity calculations showed that doxycycline-treated beef cattle had lower species richness and bacterial diversity than those without doxycycline. Bacteroidetes was the predominant phylum in rumen samples without doxycycline, while Proteobacteria was the governing phylum in the presence of doxycycline. On the family level, the top three predominant populations in group qlqlwy (not treated with doxycycline) were Prevotellaceae, Lachnospiraceae, and Ruminococcaceae, compared to Xanthomonadaceae, Prevotellaceae, and Rikenellaceae in group qlhlwy (treated with doxycycline). At the genus level, the top predominant population in group qlqlwy was unidentified_Prevotellaceae. However, in group qlhlwy, the top predominant population was Stenotrophomonas. The results revealed significant RM differences in beef cattle with or without doxycycline. Oral doxycycline may induce RM composition differences, and bacterial richness may also influence corresponding changes that could guide antibiotic use in adult ruminants. This study is the first to assess microbiota distribution in beef cattle rumen after doxycycline administration.
