Tau Aggregation-Dependent Lipid Peroxide Accumulation Driven by the hsa_circ_0001546/14-3-3/CAMK2D/Tau Complex Inhibits Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Peritoneal Metastasis.

Intraperitoneal dissemination is the main method of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) metastasis, which is related to poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of endogenous RNAs with covalently closed loop structures that are implicated in the regulation of tumor development. In this study, hsa_circ_0001546 is downregulated in EOC primary and metastatic tissues vs. control tissues and this phenotype has a favorable effect on EOC OS and DFS. hsa_circ_0001546 can directly bind with 14-3-3 proteins to act as a chaperone molecule and has a limited positive effect on 14-3-3 protein stability. This complex recruits CAMK2D to induce the Ser324 phosphorylation of Tau proteins, changing the phosphorylation status of Tau bound to 14-3-3 and ultimately forming the hsa_circ_0001546/14-3-3/CAMK2D/Tau complex. The existence of this complex stimulates the production of Tau aggregation, which then induces the accumulation of lipid peroxides (LPOs) and causes LPO-dependent ferroptosis. In vivo, treatment with ferrostatin-1 and TRx0237 rescued the inhibitory effect of hsa_circ_0001546 on EOC cell spreading. Therefore, based on this results, ferroptosis caused by Tau aggregation occurs in EOC cells, which is not only in Alzheimer's disease- or Parkinson's disease-related cells and this kind of ferroptosis driven by the hsa_circ_0001546/14-3-3/CAMK2D/Tau complex is LPO-dependent rather than GPX4-dependent is hypothesized.

Nodal staging score for adequacy of nodal staging in cervical cancer.

Background: Cervical cancer remains the fourth most common female malignancy with increasing newly cases around the world. It is of clinical value to precisely evaluate whether false negative nodal existed and develop a nodal staging model in cervical cancer. Materials and methods: Clinical data of cervical cancer patients was retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Probability of missing nodal disease and nodal staging score (NSS) was computed to assess the nodal status of each individual.Prognostic value of NSS was assessed. Results: A total of 9056 individuals were in this study, with 5115 squamous cell carcinoma, 2791 adenocarcinoma, 512 adenosquamous carcinoma, and 638 other type individuals. A beta-binomial model was used to compute the probability of nodal disease in four histological types, respectively. False negative probability drastically decreased as more nodes examined. To reach 0.05 of false negative probability, it required at least 17 lymph nodes in squamous cell carcinoma patients,18 in adenocarcinoma, 12 in adenosquamous carcinoma patients and 14 in other types. To reach 0.95 of NSS, it took 10 lymph nodes in squamous cell carcinoma, 6 in adenocarcinoma, 10 in adenosquamous carcinoma and 7 in other types. Significant prognostic values of NSS quartiles subsets were found in all four histological sets. Conclusion: NSS tool enables adequate nodal staging of cervical cancer with significant prognostic value. Exact number of lymph nodes required for surgery in cervical cancer is specified based on histologic type.

Interaction between XRCC2 gene polymorphism and abdominal obesity on risk of endometrial carcinoma.

AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within X-Ray Repair Cross Complementary Group 2 (XRCC2) gene and additional gene- abdominal obesity (AO) interaction with endometrial carcinoma (EC) risk. METHODS: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was tested for all participants by using SNPstats (online software: http://bioinfo.iconcologia.net/SNPstats). The best SNP-SNP and gene-AO interaction combination among three SNPs within XRCC2 gene and AO was screened using generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR). RESULTS: We employed the logistic regression analysis showed that rs718282-T allele is associated with increased EC risk, adjusted ORs (95%CI) were 1.67 (1.23-2.04). However, we did not find statistical association between rs3218536, and rs3218384 and EC susceptibility. GMDR analysis was used for SNP-SNP- and gene-abdominal obesity analysis. The cross-validation consistency and the testing accuracy for the interaction were calculated. The two-locus model between rs718282 and AO had a testing accuracy of 60.11%, which was significant at the p < .001 level, and this two- locus model was considered as the best model. It provided statistical evidence for rs718282 gene-AO interaction effects. The results indicated that AO influenced the EC risk depending on the rs718282 genotypes. Compared with non- AO subjects with rs718282-CC genotype, AO subjects with rs718282-CT or TT genotype had the highest EC risk, OR (95%CI) was 2.83 (1.67 - 4.02), after covariates adjustment. CONCLUSIONS: Both the rs718282- T allele, and its interaction with AO were associated with increased EC risk.

The systemic immune-inflammation index is significantly associated with the severity of silicosis: a 9-year retrospective study in Beijing.

Background: Silicosis shows an increasing trend with the development of new industries. However, the potential biomarkers for predicting the disease severity are lacking. A novel inflammatory marker, the systemic immune-inflammation Index (SII), has not been studied in silicosis. Methods: In this retrospective study, we used data from a big database platform of a tertiary general hospital in Beijing, which was established based on the electronic medical records of the hospital. The clinical data of adult patients diagnosed with silicosis at the Department of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology from 2013 to 2022 were collected. The data extracted from the database were in de-identified form. Only patients with a first diagnosis of silicosis and without conditions that might affect the parameters of routine blood tests were included in the analysis. Analyses were performed to assess the relationship between SII and the advanced stage of silicosis. Results: A total of 246 participants were included in the study. Most of the patients were exposed to silica particles during excavation and digging (n = 149, 60.6%). SII level was significantly higher in patients with advanced stages of silicosis. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a higher SII level was associated with the advanced stage of silicosis [odds ratio (OR) = 1.002; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.000-1.003, p < 0.001] after adjusting for all covariates. The best cutoff value of SII was 444.1. The results of the subgroup analysis also showed a significant correlation between SII level over 444.1 and the advanced stage of silicosis in groups stratified by gender, history of smoking, and duration of silica exposure. Moreover, our results showed a significant but weak negative correlation between the level of SII and some lung function parameters in silicosis. Conclusion: Higher SII is associated with the advanced stage of silicosis and impaired lung function. More long-term, large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Insights into enhanced oxidation of benzophenone-type UV filters (BPs) by ferrate(VI)/ferrihydrite: Increased conversion of Fe(VI) to Fe(V)/Fe(IV).

In this work, the oxidation performance of a new ferrate(VI)/ferrihydrite (Fe(VI)/Fh) system was systematically explored to degrade efficiently six kinds of benzophenone-type UV filters (BPs). Fe(VI)/Fh system not only had a superior degradation capacity towards different BPs, but also exhibited higher reactivity over a pH range of 6.0-9.0. The second-order kinetic model successfully described the process of BP-4 degradation by heterogeneous Fh catalyzed Fe(VI) system (R2 = 0.93), and the presence of Fh could increase the BP-4 degradation rate by Fe(VI) by an order of magnitude (198 M-1·s-1 v.s. 14.2 M-1·s-1). Remarkably, there are higher utilization efficiency and potential of Fe(VI) in Fe(VI)/Fh system than in Fe(VI) alone system. Moreover, characterization and recycling experiments demonstrated that Fh achieved certain long-term running performance, and the residual Fe content of solution after clarifying process meet World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for drinking water. The contributions of reactive species could be ranked as Fe(V)/Fe(IV) > Fe(VI) > â€¢OH. Fe(IV)/Fe(V) were the dominant species for the enhanced removal in the Fe(VI)/Fh system, whose percentage contribution (72 %-36 %) were much higher than those in Fe(VI) alone system (5 %-17 %). However, the contribution of Fe(VI) in oxidizing BP-4 should not be underestimated (20 %-56 %). These findings reasonably exploit available Fh resources to reduce the relatively high cost of Fe(VI), which offers a proper strategies for efficient utilization of high-valent iron species and may be used as a highly-efficient and cost-effective BPs purification method.

Metabolic Glycoengineering-Programmed Nondestructive Capture of Circulating Tumor Cells.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the "seeds" for malignant tumor metastasis, and they serve as an ideal target for minimally invasive tumor diagnosis. Abnormal glycolysis in tumor cells, characterized by glycometabolism disorder, has been reported as a universal phenomenon observed in various types of tumors. This provides a potential powerful tool for universal CTC capture. However, to the best of our knowledge, no metabolic glycoengineering-based CTC capture strategies have been reported. Here, we proposed a nondestructive CTC capture method based on metabolic glycoengineering and a nanotechnology-based proximity effect, allowing for highly specific, sensitive, and universal CTC capture. To achieve this goal, cells are first labeled with DNA tags through metabolic glycoengineering and then captured through a DNA tetrahedra-functionalized dual-tentacle magnetic nanodevice. Due to the difference in metabolic performance, only tumor cells are labeled with more densely packed DNA tags and captured through enhanced intermolecular interaction mediated by the proximity effect. In summary, we have constructed a versatile platform for nondestructive CTC capture, offering a novel perspective for the application of CTC liquid biopsy in tumor diagnosis and treatment.

The Prognostic Value of Blood Eosinophil Level in AECOPD is Influenced by Corticosteroid Treatment During Hospitalization.

Purpose: Blood eosinophil is a promising biomarker for phenotyping patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of eosinophil on short- and long-term outcomes stratified by corticosteroid treatment among AECOPD inpatients. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included patients hospitalized for AECOPD from July 2013 to June 2021 in Beijing, China. Clinical data were collected from electronic medical records. The blood eosinophil count was measured within 24h after admission. Eosinophilic AECOPD was defined as having an eosinophil percentage ≥ 2%. The study outcomes were length of stay (LOS), treatment failure, and AECOPD readmission risk within 3 years of discharge. Multivariable models were used to analyze the associations between blood eosinophil count and outcomes stratified by corticosteroid treatment during hospitalization. Results: A total of 2406 AECOPD patients were included. The median LOS of AECOPD patients was 10 (interquartile range: 8-14) days. The eosinophil percentage was negatively associated with LOS (P-trend=0.014). Compared with the non-eosinophilic AECOPD group, the eosinophilic group had a 58% lower risk of treatment failure (OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.20-0.89) in patients treated with systemic corticosteroids, but no association was observed in those treated with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) only (OR=0.95, 95% CI: 0.60-1.52). The eosinophilic group had an increased risk of 90-day re-admission in patients treated with ICS only (HR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.00-2.29), but not in patients treated with systemic corticosteroids during hospitalization (HR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.39-1.15). No statistically significant results were found for 180-day, 1-year, or 3-year readmission risk. Conclusion: Elevated blood eosinophils in AECOPD were associated with shorter length of stay and improved response to treatment with systemic corticosteroids, but not inhaled corticosteroids. Our study suggested that a therapeutic approach of using systemic corticosteroid may benefit patients present with eosinophilic AECOPD.

A portable and partitioned DNA hydrogel chip for multitarget detection.

A DNA hydrogel, owing to its dual properties of liquid and solid, is considered to be an ideal material for constructing biosensors that can integrate the advantages of both wet chemistry and dry chemistry. Nevertheless, it has struggled to cope with the demands of high-throughput analysis. A partitioned and chip-based DNA hydrogel is a potential avenue to achieve this, but currently remains a formidable challenge. Here, we developed a portable and partitioned DNA hydrogel chip that can be used for multitarget detection. The partitioned and surface-immobilized DNA hydrogel chip was formed by inter-crosslinking amplification by incorporating target-recognizing fluorescent aptamer hairpins into multiple rolling circle amplification products, which can achieve portable and simultaneous detection of multiple targets. This approach expands the application of semi-dry chemistry strategies, which can realize high throughput and point of care testing (POCT) of different targets, improving the development of hydrogel-based bioanalysis and providing new potential solutions for biomedical detection.

Multicentre double-blind randomised controlled trial of systematic corticosteroid therapy in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease admitted to hospital with higher eosinophil levels: the ECHO protocol.

INTRODUCTION: Corticosteroid is one of the most commonly used medications in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). The increasing understanding of these side-effects of systematic corticosteroids and their better response to treatment among patients with COPD with higher blood eosinophil counts has led to an interest in a more targeted approach to systematic corticosteroid treatment. However, there is a lack of evidence from high-quality randomised controlled trial (RCT) studies about whether initial systematic corticosteroids should be given to patients with AECOPD with elevated eosinophilia. The aim of the present research was to test this hypothesis. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a multicentre, double-blind, superiority RCT in the respiratory departments of 12 general hospitals in China. It is anticipated that 456 patients with AECOPD with a blood eosinophil count >2% or >300 cells/µL at admission will be recruited. Eligible patients will be randomised (1:1) to the intervention group receiving 40 mg oral prednisone daily or identical-appearing placebo (control group) for five consecutive days. Follow-up visits are performed during hospitalisation, followed by clinic interviews on days 30, 60 and 90 after discharge. The primary outcome is treatment failure rates comprising requiring or receiving invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation, requiring or transferring to intensive care unit during the index hospitalisation, length of index hospitalisation longer than 14 days, death during the index hospitalisation or within 30 days after discharge and readmission with acute exacerbations of COPD within 30 days after discharge. The results of this trial will provide insight into the value of using blood eosinophil counts as a biomarker of eosinophilic exacerbation and initiating systematic corticosteroid treatment for patients with AECOPD with higher eosinophil levels. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Institutional Review Board (approval number: 2020-KE-544) and the main results and secondary results will be published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05059873.

The feedback loop of AURKA/DDX5/TMEM147-AS1/let-7 drives lipophagy to induce cisplatin resistance in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Platinum-taxane chemotherapy is the first-line standard-of-care treatment administered to patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and faces the major challenge of cisplatin resistance. Aurora Kinase A (AURKA) is a serine/threonine kinase, acting as an oncogene by participating in microtubule formation and stabilization. In this study, we demonstrate that AURKA binds with DDX5 directly to form a transcriptional coactivator complex to induce the transcription and upregulation of an oncogenic long non-coding RNA, TMEM147-AS1, which sponges hsa-let-7b/7c-5p leading to the increasing expression of AURKA as a feedback loop. The feedback loop maintains EOC cisplatin resistance via activation of lipophagy. These findings underscore the feedback loop of AURKA/DDX5/TMEM147-AS1/let-7 provides mechanistic insights into the combined use of TMEM147-AS1 siRNA and VX-680, which can help improve EOC cisplatin treatment. Our mathematical model shows that the feedback loop has the potential to act as a biological switch to maintain on- (activated) or off- (deactivated) status, implying the possible resistance of single use of VX-680 or TMEM147-AS1 siRNA. The combined use reduces both the protein level of AURKA using TMEM147-AS1 siRNA and its kinase activity using VX-680, showing more significant effect than the use of TMEM147-AS1 siRNA or VX-680 alone, which provides a potential strategy for EOC treatment.

Recent advances in tumor biomarker detection by lanthanide upconversion nanoparticles.

Early tumor diagnosis could reliably predict the behavior of tumors and significantly reduce their mortality. Due to the response to early cancerous changes at the molecular or cellular level, tumor biomarkers, including small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, exosomes, and circulating tumor cells, have been employed as powerful tools for early cancer diagnosis. Therefore, exploring new approaches to detect tumor biomarkers has attracted a great deal of research interest. Lanthanide upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) provide numerous opportunities for bioanalytical applications. When excited by low-energy near-infrared light, UCNPs exhibit several unique properties, such as large anti-Stoke shifts, sharp emission lines, long luminescence lifetimes, resistance to photobleaching, and the absence of autofluorescence. Based on these excellent properties, UCNPs have demonstrated great sensitivity and selectivity in detecting tumor biomarkers. In this review, an overview of recent advances in tumor biomarker detection using UCNPs has been presented. The key aspects of this review include detection mechanisms, applications in vitro and in vivo, challenges, and perspectives of UCNP-based tumor biomarker detection.

Recurrence and survival of patients with stage III endometrial cancer after radical surgery followed by adjuvant chemo- or chemoradiotherapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To compare recurrence and survival in patients with stage III endometrial cancer after radical surgery, followed by either adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (ACR) or adjuvant chemotherapy (AC). METHODS: We searched for relevant studies in PubMed Central, Embase and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Data were pooled on rates of recurrence as well as rates of progression-free, disease-free and overall survival. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the I2 test. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed to identify potential sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS: Data from 18,375 patients in 15 retrospective studies and one randomized controlled trial were meta-analyzed. Compared to the AC group, the ACR showed significantly lower risk of local recurrence (OR 0.43, 95%CI 0.32-0.59) and total recurrence (OR 0.72, 95%CI 0.58-0.89). ACR was also associated with significantly better overall survival (HR 0.66, 95%CI 0.57-0.76), progression-free survival (HR 0.56, 95%CI 0.39-0.81) and disease-free survival (HR 0.66, 95%CI 0.53-0.83). CONCLUSIONS: Adding adjuvant radiotherapy to adjuvant chemotherapy after radical surgery may significantly reduce risk of local and overall recurrence, while significantly improving survival of patients with stage III endometrial cancer.

Microfluidics for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), a type of circulatory system disease related to the lesions of the cardiovascular system, has become one of the main diseases that endanger human health. Currently, the clinical diagnosis of most CVDs relies on a combination of imaging technology and blood biochemical test. However, the existing technologies for diagnosis of CVDs still have limitations in terms of specificity, detection range, and cost. In order to break through the current bottleneck, microfluidic with the advantages of low cost, simple instruments and easy integration, has been developed to play an important role in the early prevention, diagnosis and treatment of CVDs. Here, we have reviewed the recent various applications of microfluidic in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CVDs, including microfluidic devices for detecting CVD markers, the cardiovascular models based on microfluidic, and the microfluidic used for CVDs drug screening and delivery. In addition, we have briefly looked forward to the prospects and challenges of microfluidics in diagnosis and treatment of CVDs.

Roles and mechanisms of CircRNAs in ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the female malignancies with nearly 45% 5-year survival rate. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a kind of single-stranded non-coding RNAs, are generated from the back-splicing of cellular housekeeping noncoding RNAs and precursor messenger RNAs. Recent studies revealed that circRNAs have different biological function, including sponging miRNAs, encoding micropeptides, regulating stability of cytoplasmic mRNAs, affecting transcription and splicing, via interacting with DNA, RNA and proteins. Due to their stability, circRNAs have the potential of acting as biomarkers and treatment targets. In this review, we briefly illustrate the biogenesis mechanism and biological function of circRNAs in OC, and make a perspective of circRNAs drug targeting immune responses and signaling pathways in OC. This article can provide a systematic view into the current situation and future of circRNAs in OC.

Secular trend and risk factors of 30-day COPD-related readmission in Beijing, China.

Readmission due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation contributes significantly to disease burden. Trend in readmission rate among COPD patients in China is not well characterized. We described the secular trend and identify risk factors of COPD-related 30-day readmission in Beijing during 2012-2017. In this retrospective cohort study, we used data from a citywide hospital discharge database in Beijing. We included patients ≥ 40 years with a primary diagnosis of COPD from 2012 to 2017. A total of 131 591 index admissions were identified. COPD-related 30-day readmission was defined as the initial admission with a primary diagnosis of COPD that occurs within 30 days from the discharge date of an index admission. Overall and annual 30-day readmission rates were calculated in the total population and subgroups defined by patient characteristics. We used multivariable logistic models to investigate risk factors for readmission and in-hospital mortality within 30 days. The overall 30-day COPD-related readmission rate was 15.8% (n = 20 808). The readmission rate increased from 11.5% in 2012 to 17.2% in 2017, with a multivariable-adjusted OR (95% CI) for annual change to be 1.08 (1.06-1.09) (P trend < 0.001). The upward trend in readmission rate levelled off at about 17% since 2014. The readmission rate of men was higher and increased faster than women. Comorbid osteoporosis, coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, and cancer were associated with an increased risk of 30-day COPD-related readmission. The 30-day COPD-related readmission rate in Beijing showed an overall increasing trend from 2012 to 2017. Future efforts should be made to further improve care quality and reduce early readmissions of COPD patients.

A peptide-DNA hybrid bio-nanomicelle and its application for detection of caspase-3 activity.

Bio-nanomicelles based on biomaterials such as nucleic acids, peptides, glycans, and lipids have developed rapidly in the field of bioanalysis. Although DNA and peptides have unique advantages, unfortunately, there are few bio-nanomicelles integrating DNA with peptides. Here, we designed a peptide-DNA hybrid bio-nanomicelle for the activity detection of caspase-3. The detection mechanism is based on caspase-3 specific recognition and cleavage of peptide substrates, which owns high sensitivity and selectivity. Under optimal conditions, the detection of caspase-3 activity can be achieved using our designed bio-nanomicelles and the detection limit is 0.72 nM. Furthermore, the proposed method was also successfully applied for the detection of caspase-3 in cell lysate samples after apoptosis-inducing.

Electroactive Soft Actuators Based on Columnar Ionic Liquid Crystal/Polymer Composite Membrane Electrolytes Forming 3D Continuous Ionic Channels.

Here, we report low-voltage-driven fast-response nanostructured columnar ionic liquid crystal/polymer composite actuators that form three-dimensional continuous ion channels. A three-component self-assembly of a zwitterionic rod-like molecule (49.5 wt %), an ionic liquid (27.5 wt %), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (23.0 wt %) provided a free-standing stretchable membrane electrolyte. The dissociated ions can move through a continuous 3D ionophilic matrix surrounding the hydrophobic columns formed by the hexagonally organized rod-mesogens. Three-layer actuators composed of the electrolyte film sandwiched between two conductive polymer film electrodes of doped polythiophene exhibited a bending motion with 0.32% strain and moved 2 mm within 220 ms under 1 V at 0.1 Hz in 70% relative humidity due to the formation of electric double layers at the soft solid electrolyte/electrode interfaces. The bending strain of the columnar nanostructured actuator is comparable to those of polymer iongel actuators and block polymer actuators containing 25-80 wt % of ionic liquids. It is noteworthy that a small number of ions organized into the 3D nanochannels can generate the large bending deformation, which can contribute to reduce the risk of leakage of ions and the production cost. In addition, we have demonstrated a low-voltage-driven deformable mirror actuator that is expected to be applied to optical devices.

Sperm-like nanocarriers for ultrafast delivery of antisense DNA.

Although various nanomaterials have been designed as intracellular delivery tools, the following aspects have become obstacles to limit their development, like a complex and time-consuming synthesis process, as well as relatively limited application areas (i.e. biosensing or cell imaging). Here, we developed a novel nano-delivery system called "nano-sperm" with low cytotoxicity and high biocompatibility. In this system, we used DNA oligonucleotides as a backbone to synthesize a nanostructure with silver nanoclusters in the head and functional fragments in the tail, which is shaped like a sperm, to achieve dual functions of ultrafast delivery and imaging/therapy. As a model, we analyzed the possibility of the "nano-sperm" carrying DNA with different structures for imaging or survivin-asDNA for tumor therapy. Therefore, this work reports a novel bifunctional high-speed delivery vehicle, which successfully fills the gap in the field of tumor therapy using DNA-templated nanoclusters as a delivery vehicle.

[Effectivity of Multiphase Fenton-like System of Iron Reduction Induced by Bisphenol A Authigenic Photoelectron].

In recent years, the Fenton-like (Fe2+-PMS/PS) advanced oxidation technology of persulfate activated by ferrous ions has been increasingly developed, but the difficulty of Fe3+ reduction, which stops the reaction, still restricts its large-scale application. In this study, it was found that when some organic compounds represented by bisphenol A (BPA) were mixed with Fe3+ and pristine TiO2, some surface structures could broaden the light response range of TiO2, capture visible light, and transfer the photoelectrons to Fe3+ through TiO2 for reduction, so as to achieve an infinite cycle of Fe3+/Fe2+. According to the above principle, a BPA-TiO2-Fe3+-PS composite system under visible light was constructed to degrade BPA, and its catalytic performance, catalytic mechanism, and influencing factors were discussed. The results showed that the system had outstanding catalytic performance, the degradation efficiency of BPA (50 mg·L-1) reached 93.1%, and the mineralization efficiency reached 70% within 60 min. At the same time, it verified that the system could reduce Fe3+ by the authigenic photoelectron of bisphenol A, and the steady-state concentration of Fe2+ obtained by 60 min reduction was 3.5 µmol·L-1. The main active oxidizing species in the system were sulfate radicals (SO4-[KG-*2/3]·) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH), of which the contribution rate of·OH was more than 60%. An appropriate increase in TiO2, Fe3+, and PS dosage and light intensity could improve the degradation effect. The system had the best treatment efficiency under weak acid conditions, and the degradation efficiency reached 96.5%. It also had a good effect under neutral conditions. CO32-, H2PO4-, and SO42- had a certain inhibitory effect on the system.
