[PMID: 38428072 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
Rapid and precise detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) holds great significance since it is linked to numerous physiological and inorganic catalytic processes. We herein developed a label-free and washing-free strategy to detect H2O2 by employing a hand-held personal glucose meter (PGM) as a signal readout device. By focusing on the fact that the reduced redox mediator ([Fe(CN)6]4-) itself is responsible for the final PGM signal, we developed a new PGM-based strategy to detect H2O2 by utilizing the target H2O2-mediated oxidation of [Fe(CN)6]4- to [Fe(CN)6]3- in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and monitoring the reduced PGM signal in response to the target amount. Based on this straightforward and facile design principle, H2O2 was successfully determined down to 3.63 μM with high specificity against various non-target molecules. We further demonstrated that this strategy could be expanded to identify another model target choline by detecting H2O2 produced through its oxidation promoted by choline oxidase. Moreover, we verified its practical applicability by reliably determining extracellular H2O2 released from the breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. This work could evolve into versatile PGM-based platform technology to identify various non-glucose target molecules by employing their corresponding oxidase enzymes, greatly advancing the portable biosensing technologies.

Abstract
With the rising emphasis on food safety, technology to rapidly identify Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is of great significance. Herein, we developed a novel electrochemical biosensor based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system and rolling circle amplification (RCA)-assisted "silver chain"-linked gold interdigital electrodes (Au-IDE). This sensor utilizes RCA to create DNA long chains that span the Au-IDE, and CRISPR/Cas9 as a recognition component to recognize capture/target dsDNA. Additionally, we used silver staining technology to improve detection sensitivity. Then, we detected S. aureus through impedance changes that occurred when the silver chain between the Au-IDE was connected or broke, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 7 CFU/mL and a detection time of 1.5 h. Lastly, we successfully employed this sensor to detect S. aureus in real food samples, making it a promising tool for food monitoring.

[PMID: 38270757 DOI: 10.1007/s12033-023-01034-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Differential activation of macrophages is associated with poor progression of breast cancer (BC). Many reports have elucidated the important involvement of exosomes produced by cancer cells in remodeling the macrophage activation phenotype to promote tumor expansion and invasion. However, the underlying mechanisms by which exosomes secreted by BC cells facilitate macrophage M2 polarization remain enigmatic and worth exploring. In this study, quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to investigate miR-191-5p expression in BC tumor tissues and cells. Cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8), transwell, and flow cytometry were applied to assess the functional role of miR-191-5p in BC. Isolated nano-vesicles were identified using transmission electron microscopy and western blotting. We also observed that miR-191-5p was significantly elevated in BC clinical samples and that inhibition of miR-191-5p hindered the growth and metastasis of BC cells. Importantly, BC cells successfully accelerated macrophage M2-like polarization by directly transferring exosomes to macrophages, resulting in increased miR-191-5p levels in macrophages. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-191-5p directly inhibited the suppressors of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) expression in macrophages and aggravated macrophage M2 polarization. Similarly, si-SOCS3 transfected macrophages boosted BC cell migration and invasion in a positive feedback manner. Overall, our results manifested a pro-growth and pro-metastatic role between the two cells by elucidating the crucial role of exosomal miR-191-5p in stimulating M2 macrophage polarization and mediating communication between BC cells and macrophages. These findings opened up new horizons for the development of BC therapeutic strategies.

J Adv Res 2024; 58:163-173.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ovarian steroidogenesis not only affects the embryonic development and pregnancy outcome, but also associates with many diseases in mammals and women. Exploring the nutrients and mechanisms influencing ovarian steroidogenesis is critical to maintaining the optimal reproductive performance, as well as guaranteeing body health. OBJECTIVES This research aimed to explore the effect of retinol metabolism on ovarian steroidogenesis and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Comparative transcriptomic analysis of ovaries from normal and low reproductive performance sows were performed to identify the main causes leading to low fertility. The metabolites regulating steroid hormones synthesis were investigated in ovarian granulosa cells. Gene interference, overexpression, dual-luciferase reporter assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation and transcriptome analysis were further conducted to explore the underlying mechanisms of Aldh1a1 mediating ovarian steroidogenesis. RESULTS Transcriptome analysis of ovaries from normal and low reproductive performance sows showed the significant differences in both retinol metabolism and steroid hormones synthesis, indicating retinol metabolism probably influenced steroid hormones synthesis. The related metabolite retinoic acid was furtherly proven a highly active and potent substance strengthening estrogen and progesterone synthesis in ovarian granulosa cells. For the first time, we revealed that retinoic acid synthesis in porcine and human ovarian granulosa cells was dominated by Aldh1a1, and required the assistance of Aldh1a2. Importantly, we demonstrated that Aldh1a1 enhanced the proliferation of ovarian granulosa cells by activating PI3K-Akt-hedgehog signaling pathways. In addition, Aldh1a1 regulated the expression of transcription factor MESP2, which targeted the transcription of Star and Cyp11a1 through binding to corresponding promoter regions. CONCLUSION Our data identified Aldh1a1 modulates ovarian steroidogenesis through enhancing granulosa cell proliferation and MESP2/STAR/CYP11A1 pathway. These findings provide valuable clues for improving ovarian health in mammals.

J-shaped association between LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular events: A longitudinal primary prevention cohort of over 2.4 million people nationwide. J Adv Res 2024; 58:139-147. [PMID: 37225014 PMCID: PMC10982857 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2023.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-lowering treatment is beneficial for the secondary or primary prevention of high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the prognostic implications of low LDL cholesterol levels in patients without previous ASCVD and without statin use remain elusive. METHODS From a nationwide cohort, 2,432,471 participants without previous ASCVD or statin use were included. For myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke (IS), participants were followed-up from 2009 to 2018. They were stratified according to 10-year ASCVD risk (<5 %, 5 %-<7.5 %, 7.5 %-<20 %, and ≥20 %) and LDL cholesterol level (<70, 70-99, 100-129, 130-159, 160-189, and ≥190 mg/dL). RESULTS The relationship between LDL cholesterol levels and ASCVD events exhibited a J-shaped curve for both MI and IS. After classification according to the ASCVD risk, this J-shaped relationship was consistently observed for the composite of MI and IS. Participants with an LDL cholesterol level <70 mg/dL showed a higher MI risk than those with a level of 70-99 mg/dL or 100-129 mg/dL in the low-ASCVD risk group. The J-shaped curve between LDL cholesterol levels and MI risk was attenuated across ASCVD risk groups. For IS, participants with an LDL cholesterol level <70 mg/dL demonstrated increased risks compared with those with a level of 70-99 mg/dL, 100-129 mg/dL, or 130-159 mg/dL in the borderline, intermediate, and high ASCVD risk groups, respectively. In contrast, a linear association was observed in participants taking statins. Interestingly, a J-shaped association was observed between LDL cholesterol and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels; the mean hs-CRP level and the proportion of individuals with increased hs-CRP levels were relatively high among individuals with an LDL cholesterol level <70 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS Although high LDL cholesterol levels increase the risk of ASCVD, low LDL cholesterol levels do not warrant safety from ASCVD. Therefore, individuals with low LDL cholesterol levels should be carefully monitored.

Abstract
Oncolytic adenoviruses (OAds), engineered Ads preferentially infect and lyse tumor cells, have attracted remarkable attention as immunotherapy weapons for the treatment of various malignancies. Despite hopeful successes in preclinical investigations and translation into clinical phases, they face some challenges that thwart their therapeutic effectiveness, including low infectivity of cancer cells, liver sequestration, pre-existing neutralizing antibodies, physical barriers to the spread of Ads, and immunosuppressive TME. Nanotechnology and nano-sized tools provide several advantages to overcome these limitations of OAds. Nano-sized tools could improve the therapeutic efficacy of OAds by enhancing infectivity and cellular uptake, targeting and protecting from pre-existing immune responses, masking and preventing liver tropism, and co-delivery with other therapeutic agents. Herein, we reviewed the constructs of various OAds and their application in clinical trials, as well as the limitations they have faced. Furthermore, we emphasized the potential applications of nanotechnology to solve the constraints of OAds to improve their anti-tumor activities.

Abstract
Luteolin (Lu) is a dietary flavonoid that has attracted much attention due to its multiple health benefis effects. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemical sensor for Lu was constracted based on cobalt-doped microporous/mesoporous carbon (MMC) encapsulated peanut-like Fe2O3 composite. The FeOx-Co-MMC composite was obtained by pyrolyzing a precursor named Fe2O3-Co-microporous/mesoporous dopamine (Fe2O3-Co-MMPDA) which was synthesized by a soft template method. Under optimized conditions, the sensor exhibited good detection of Lu with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.031 nM and a wide linear range from 0.05 to 1000 nM in detecting Lu. It also demonstrated good reproducibility (RSD = 3.16%), stability (RSD = 2.34%), and anti-interference properties. The sensor successfully detected Lu in real food samples such as honeysuckle with recoveries ranging from 96.1% to 104.8% (RSD <3%, n = 3). The present study provides an alternative method for Lu detection in food.

Devi G, Gorki V, Walter NS, Sivangula S, Sobhia ME, Jachak S, Puri R, Kaur S. Exploring the efficacy of ethnomedicinal plants of Himalayan region against the malaria parasite. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 321:117394. [PMID: 37967777 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Plasmodium falciparum multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains are a great challenge to global health care. This predicament implies the urgent need to discover novel antimalarial drugs candidate from alternative natural sources. The Himalaya constitute a rich repository of medicinal plants which have been used traditionally in the folklore medicine since ages and having no scientific evidence for their activity. Crambe kotschyana Boiss. and Eremurus himalaicus Baker are used for their antipyretic and hepatoprotective properties in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, India. AIM OF THE STUDY This study would investigate the antiplasmodial efficacy of C. kotschyana and E. himalaicus extracts, their fractions and active components using in vitro, in vivo and in silico approaches to provide a scientific insight into their activity. METHODS The methanol extracts of C. kotschyana (CKME) and E. himalaicus (EHME) were prepared by maceration followed by fractionation using ethyl acetate. The isolation of flavonoid glycosides isorhamnetin-3, 7-di-O-glucoside from C. kotschyana and luteolin-6-C-glucoside (isoorientin) from E. himalaicus was carried out by antiplasmodial activity-guided isolation. In vitro antimalarial activity was assessed by WHO method while in vitro cytotoxicity was ascertained employing the MTT assay. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation were performed using the Glide module of Schrödinger Software and Gromacs-2022 software package respectively. In vivo curative activity was assessed by Ryley and Peters method. RESULTS The methanol extracts of both the plants illustrated the best antiplasmodial activity followed by the ethyl acetate fractions. Iso-orientin (IC50 6.49 μg/ml) and Isorhamnetin-3,7-di-O-glucoside (IC50 9.22 μg/ml) illustrated considerable in vitro activity even against P. falciparum resistant strain. Extracts/fractions as well as the isolated compounds were found to be non-toxic with CC50 > 640 μg/ml. Molecular docking studies were performed with these 2 O-glucosides against four malaria targets to understand the binding pose of these molecules and the results suggested that these molecules have selectivity for lactate dehydrogenase enzyme. CKME and EHME exhibited curative activity in vivo along with increase in Mean Survival Time of mice. CONCLUSION The research delineated the scientific evidence that both the therapeutic herbs possessed antimalarial activity and notably, bioactive compounds responsible to exhibit the antimalarial activity have been isolated, identified and characterized. Further studies are underway to assess the antiplasmodial efficacy of isolated compounds alone and in combination with standard antimalarials.

Spectrum-effect relationship combined with bioactivity evaluation to discover the main anxiolytic active components of Baihe Dihuang decoction. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117090. [PMID: 37640258 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Anxiety disorders leads to a decline in quality of life and increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The Baihe Dihuang decoction (BDD) is a classic Chinese medical formula that has been widely used to treat anxiety disorders for thousands of years in China. However, the pharmacodynamic material that is responsible for the antianxiety of BDD remains unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY To screen the main ingredients of anti-anxiety in BDD based on the establishment of spectrum-effect relationship and verified experiment. METHODS The UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technique was utilized to establish fingerprints of various fractions of BDD and identify the main compounds. The anti-anxiety effects of BDD were comprehensively evaluated through multiple assessments, including the open field test, elevated plus maze test, and neurotransmitters tests. Then, the spectrum-effect relationship was established through Pearson correlation analysis, gray correlation analysis, orthogonal partial least squares regression analysis. The spectrum-effect relationship results were confirmed through various measures on an anxiety condition cell model, induced by a corticosterone and lipopolysaccharide intervention. These measures included assessing neuronal cell viability, morphology, apoptosis, synaptic damage, and the expression of neurotransmitters and inflammatory factors. RESULTS In the UPLC-Q-TOF-MS fingerprint, 46 common peaks were identified. The pharmacological results indicated that different fractions of BDD have strong effects on improving anxiety-like behavior and regulating neurotransmitters. Among them, butanol fraction has the highest comprehensive evaluation score of anti-anxiety efficacy, which is main active fraction of BDD for anti-anxiety. The analysis of the spectrum-effect relationship revealed that the 46 peaks exhibited varying degrees of correlation with the anti-anxiety efficacy indicators of BDD. Among them, 14 components have a high correlation with the anti-anxiety efficacy indicators, which may be the potential anti-anxiety efficacy components of BDD. The in vitro activity verification of active components verified our prediction, regaloside A, B, C, D, H, acteoside, and isoacteoside improved neuronal cell viability, cell morphology, apoptosis, and synaptic damage. Additionally, regaloside A, B, C, D, H and acteoside regulated the neurotransmitter levels, while regaloside A, B, C, D, acteoside and isoacteoside inhibited the levels of inflammatory cytokines. CONCLUSION The butanol fraction was found to be the main active fraction of BDD, and 14 compounds were the major anxiolytic active components. The results of verifying the major active components were consistent with the predicted results of the spectrum-effect analysis. The developed spectrum-effect analysis in this study demonstrates high accuracy and reliability for screening active components in TCMs.

Fate characteristics and risk identification of thifluzamide in buckwheat across China: Analytical method development, occurrence, and health assessment. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 270:115833. [PMID: 38181602 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
Elaborating on the fate tendency of thifluzamide (thiazole-amide fungicide) in buckwheat based on nationwide application is vital for grain security and human health based on nationwide application. A rapid and sensitive analytical method was developed to trace thifluzamide in buckwheat matrices using an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (UHPLC-MS/MS), with a retention time of 2.90 min and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.001 mg/kg. Thifluzamide could be stably stored for 84 d in buckwheat matrices under -20 °C under dark condition. The occurrence, dissipation and terminal magnitudes of thifluzamide were reflected by the primary deposition of 0.02-0.55 mg/kg, half-lives of 12-14 d, and highest residues of 0.41 mg/kg. The long-term risks (ADI%) of thifluzamide were 37.268 %-131.658 % in registered crops, and the risks for the rural population were significantly higher than those of the urban population. The unacceptable dietary risks of thifluzamide should be continuously emphasized for children aged 2-7 with an ADI% values of 100.750 %-131.658 %. A probabilistic model was further introduced to evaluate the risk discrepancy of thifluzamide in buckwheat, showing the risks in Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tararicum Gaerth) were 1.5-75.4 times than that in sweet buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench). Despite the low risks for dietary buckwheat, the high-potential health hazards of thifluzamide should be pay more attention given the increasing applications and cumulative effects.

Ecotoxicological effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) on aquatic organisms: Current research and emerging trends. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 349:119396. [PMID: 37890295 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
The rapid advancement of nanotechnology has contributed to the development of several products that are being released to the consumer market without careful analysis of their potential impact on the environment. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are used in several fields and are applied in consumer products, technological innovations, and biomedicine. In this sense, this study aims to compile existing knowledge regarding the effects of ZnO-NPs on non-target organisms, with the goal of ensuring the safety of human health and the environment. To achieve this objective, a systematic review of the available data on the toxicity of these nanomaterials to freshwater and marine/estuarine aquatic organisms was carried out. The findings indicate that freshwater invertebrates are the most commonly used organisms in ecotoxicological tests. The environmental sensitivity of the studied species was categorized as follows: invertebrates > bacteria > algae > vertebrates. Among the most sensitive species at each trophic level in freshwater and marine/estuarine environments are Daphnia magna and Paracentrotus lividus; Escherichia coli and Vibrio fischeri; Scenedesmus obliquus and Isochrysis galbana; and Danio rerio and Rutilus caspicus. The primary mechanisms responsible for the toxicity of ZnO-NPs involve the release of Zn2+ ions and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, the biosynthesis of ZnO-NPs has been presented as a less toxic form of production, although it requires further investigation. Therefore, the synthesis of the information presented in this review can help to decide which organisms and which exposure concentrations are suitable for estimating the toxicity of nanomaterials in aquatic ecosystems. It is expected that this information will serve as a foundation for future research aimed at reducing the reliance on animals in ecotoxicological testing, aligning with the goal of promoting the sustainable advancement of nanotechnology.

Abstract
A comprehensive investigation utilized a column-type sequencing batch reactor (SBR) to efficiently remove nutrients throughout various phases of its operational cycle by forming granules. This study assessed the influence and mechanisms of a simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) system employing a column-type sequential batch reactor (SBR). The primary focus was on elucidating the functional groups involved in nitrogen transformation and removal within the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The research findings demonstrate the superior performance of the SBR process compared to the control group. It achieved an impressive SND efficiency of 69%, resulting in a remarkable 66% total nitrogen removal. Furthermore, a detailed analysis unveiled that the SBR process had a beneficial impact on the composition and properties of EPS. This impact was observed through increased EPS content and enhanced capacity to transport, convert, and retain nitrogen effectively. Additionally, after initial acclimatization, the SBR process showed its effectiveness in removing nutrients (88-98%) and COD (93%) from the generated wastewater within a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 6 h. A statistically significant difference between the treatments for the investigated mixing ratios was found by univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA). Machine learning (CatBoost model) was employed to understand each parameter's relationship and predict the outcomes in measurable quantity. The findings of the SBR trials showed that the concentration of generated wastewater and the HRT impacted the treatment efficiency. However, the effluent may still need other physicochemical processes, such as membrane filtering, coagulation, electrocoagulation, etc., as post-treatment options, even though COD, nutrients, and turbidity have been entirely or significantly effectively removed. Overall, this work offers insightful information on the critical function of the SBR bacterial community in promoting SND.

Abstract
Extensive usage of plastic in different industries and household usage has degraded to microplastic due to environmental conditions over the last year. While several researchers conducted the determination of microplastic (MP) bioaccumulation from rivers to stormwater, except for some filter-feeding species used as a bioindicator, to achieve a holistic approach to the fate of MPs in the marine system, sea anemone was used as an indicator. Microplastics were extracted from surface seawater, sediment, and sea anemones from the same sampling area and characterized. The extracted MPs were confirmed by confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy, and the morphology of the MPs was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the accumulation of microplastics and the type of polymer, shape, colour, and size of these persistent pollutants varied in sediment, surface water, and sea anemone. The abundance of MPs was different, and grey-coloured MPs were detected at a relatively higher level in sea anemones, from 8.7 to 13.3%, and more minor MPs (less than 0.5 mm) at 43.4-56.8% were detected in sea anemones among the sampling stations. In terms of polymer type, there are relatively more types of polymers classified in sea anemones among the sampling stations (six different types of polymers). These results indicated that the utilization of sea anemones as a bioindicator for MPs could be a critical factor in a better understanding of their pathway in the marine ecosystem. This study proved that analysing sea anemones as an indicator could offer a reliable, fast, and time-saving approach for detecting microplastic accumulation in marine systems.

Abstract
Developing new therapeutic and diagnostic metals and metal complexes is a stunning example of how inorganic chemistry is rapidly becoming an essential part of modern medicine. More study of bio-coordination chemistry is needed to improve the design of compounds with fewer harmful side effects. Metal-containing drugs are widely utilized in the treatment of cancer. Platinum complexes are effective against some cancers, but new coordination compounds are being created with improved pharmacological properties and a broader spectrum of anticancer action. The coordination complexes of the 15 lanthanides or rare earth elements in the periodic table are crucial for diagnosing and treating cancer. Understanding and treating cancer requires the detection of binding lanthanide (III) ions or complexes to DNA and breaking DNA by these complexes. Current advances in lanthanide-based coordination complexes as anticancer treatments over the past five years are discussed in this study.

[PMID: 37379629 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses a considerable threat to human health through grain enrichment and limits biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in paddy fields. Biochar has shown great potential for agricultural soil remediation because it inactivates Cd, but uncertainties remain as to how biochar amendments affect BNF and grain N use efficiency in paddies. To elucidate these issues, we investigated the effects of biochar amendment on the structure and function of diazotrophic bacterial communities in different rice growth stages in Cd-contaminated paddy fields, and evaluated the contribution of BNF to grain N use efficiency under biochar amendment. The results showed that biochar amendment significantly increased the abundance of diazotrophic bacteria in the tillering and jointing stages. Furthermore, the community structure of soil diazotrophic bacteria markedly changed with biochar amendment, with a significant reduction in the abundances of Euryarchaeota, Desulfobacterales (Proteobacteria), and Sphingomonadales (Bacteroidetes) in the tillering stage. Changes in the soil carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio was the main factor driving diazotrophic microbial community characteristics caused by the release of available C from biochar at the tillering stage, rather than the Cd. Moreover, biochar amendment increased the efficiency of BNF (especially for autotrophic N2 fixation) in the vegetative phase of rice growth. Notably, biochar amendment significantly decreased BNF efficiency during the filling stage and reduced grain N use efficiency. The limited available nutrients in biochar and the toxicity of polycyclic aromatics and phenols in biochar-derived dissolved organic matter were responsible for the varied impacts of biochar on BNF in different rice growth stages. For the first time, we report that biochar amendment in paddy soils reduces Cd toxicity but also inhibits BNF and thereby decreases N use efficiency. Therefore, before applying biochar to inactivate Cd in paddy fields, there should be a trade-off between agricultural production and ecological safety to achieve sustainable agriculture.

Development and analysis of a universal label-free micro/nano component for three-channel detection of silver ions, mercury ions, and tetracycline. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1276:341606.

Abstract
In this paper, an enzyme-free and label-free fluorescent nanomodule is proposed for rapid, simple and sensitive detection of Ag+, Hg2+ and tetracycline (TC). The strategy is cleverly designed to enable multiple-purpose detection with as little as 31 nt of ssDNA. Both the embedded dye SYBR Green I and the nanomaterial graphene oxide (GO) are able to distinguish single-stranded DNA from double-stranded DNA; thus, the combination of the two instead of using traditional molecular beacon (MB)-labeled fluorophores and quencher groups can effectively reduce the cost of experiments while efficiently reducing the background noise. Performance testing experiments confirmed the stability and selectivity of the platform; the limits of detection (LODs) of Ag+ and Hg2+ were 1.41 nM and 1.79 nM, respectively, and the detection range were within the WHO standards. In addition, only some base sequences in the flexible functional domain of the nanoloop needed to be programmed to build a universal platform, which was feasible using TC as a target. Therefore, the designed nanomodule has the potential to detect various types of targets, such as antibiotics, proteins, and target genes, and has broad application prospects in environmental monitoring, food testing, and disease diagnosis.

Wu CY, Su YT, Su CK. 4D-printed needle panel meters coupled with enzymatic derivatization for reading urea and glucose concentrations in biological samples. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 237:115500. [PMID: 37390641 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023]
Abstract
On-site analytical techniques continue being developed with advances in modern technology. To demonstrate the applicability of four-dimensional printing (4DP) technologies in the direct fabrication of stimuli-responsive analytical devices for on-site determination of urea and glucose, we used digital light processing three-dimensional printing (3DP) and 2-carboxyethyl acrylate (CEA)-incorporated photocurable resins to fabricate all-in-one needle panel meters. When adding a sample having a value of pH above the pKa of CEA (ca. 4.6-5.0) into the fabricated needle panel meter, the [H+]-responsive layer of the needle, printed using the CEA-incorporated photocurable resins, swelled as a result of electrostatic repulsion among the dissociated carboxyl groups of the copolymer, leading to [H+]-dependent bending of the needle. When coupled with a derivatization reaction (urease-mediated hydrolysis of urea to decrease [H+]; glucose oxidase-mediated oxidization of glucose to increase [H+]), the bending of the needle allowed reliable quantification of urea or glucose when referencing pre-calibrated concentration scales. After method optimization, the method's detection limits for urea and glucose were 4.9 and 7.0 μM, respectively, within a working concentration range from 0.1 to 10 mM. We verified the reliability of this analytical method by determining the concentrations of urea and glucose in samples of human urine, fetal bovine serum, and rat plasma with spike analyses and comparing the results with those obtained using commercial assay kits. Our results confirm that 4DP technologies can allow the direct fabrication of stimuli-responsive devices for quantitative chemical analysis, and that they can advance the development and applicability of 3DP-enabling analytical methods.

Abstract
Developing a rapid, sensitive, and efficient analytical method for the trace-level determination of highly concerning antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) is desirable to guarantee the safety of human health and ecosystems. In this work, a novel electrochemical aptasensor based on polyethyleneimine grafted reduced graphene oxide and titanium dioxide (rGO/PEI/TiO2) nanocomposite was constructed for ultrasensitive and selective detection of CIP. Through the in-situ electrochemical oxidation of Ti3C2Tx nanosheets, TiO2 nanosheets with good electrochemical response were prepared in a more convenient and eco-friendly method. The prepared TiO2 nanosheets promote charge transferring on electrode interface, and [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as electrochemical active substance can be electrostatically attracted by rGO/PEI. Thus, electrochemical detection signal of the aptasensor variates a lot after specific binding with CIP, achieving working dynamic range of 0.003-10.0 μmol L-1, low detection limit down to 0.7 nmol L-1 (S/N = 3) and selectivity towards other antibiotics. Additionally, the aptasensor exhibited good agreement with HPLC method at 95% confidence level, and achieved good recoveries (96.8-106.3%) in real water samples, demonstrating its suitable applicability of trace detection of CIP in aquatic environment.

Abstract
Since the exosomal protein level is related to many diseases, sensitive detection of exosomal protein is highly desirable. Here, we describe a polymer-sorted high-purity semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) films-based field-effect transistor (FET) biosensor for ultrasensitive and label-free detection of MUC1, a transmembrane protein highly expressed in breast cancer exosomes. Polymer-sorted semiconducting CNTs hold advantages including high purity (>99%), high CNT concentration, and short processing time (<1 h), but they are difficult to be stably functionalized with biomolecules because of lacking hanging bonds on their surface. To solve this issue, poly-lysine (PLL) was employed to modify the CNT films after they were deposited on the sensing channel surface of the fabricated FET chip. To specifically recognize the exosomal protein, sulfhydryl aptamer probes were immobilized on the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) surface that was assembled on PLL substrate. The aptamer-modified CNT FET was capable of sensitively and selectively detecting exosomal MUC1 as high as 0.34 fg/mL. Moreover, the CNT FET biosensor was able to recognize breast cancer patients from healthy individuals by comparing the expression level of exosomal MUC1. The developed CNT FET biosensor is expected to be a novel assay for early diagnosis of cancer.

A simple and robust aptasensor assembled on surfactant-mediated liquid crystal interface for ultrasensitive detection of mycotoxin. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1270:341478. [PMID: 37311610 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Here, a simple aptasensing approach is represented to sensitively detect ochratoxin A (OTA) as one of the most perilous mycotoxins with carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressive sequels on human health. The aptasensor is based on the alteration in the orientational order of liquid crystal (LC) molecules at the surfactant-arranged interface. Homeotropic alignment of LCs is achieved by the interaction of the surfactant tail with LCs. By perturbing the alignment of LCs due to the electrostatic interaction of the aptamer strand with the surfactant head, a colorful polarized view of the aptasensor substrate is induced drastically. While OTA causes the re-orientation of LCs to a vertical state by forming an OTA-aptamer complex that induces darkness of the substrate. This study shows that the length of the aptamer strand impacts the efficiency of the aptasensor; longer strand results in the greater disruption of LCs, and therefore, increases the aptasensor sensitivity. Hence, the aptasensor can determine OTA in the linear concentration range of 0.1 fM-1 pM as low as 0.021 fM. The aptasensor is capable to monitor OTA in grape juice, coffee drink, corn, and human serum real samples. The proposed LC-based aptasensor provides a cost-effective, easy-to-carry, operator-independent, and user-friendly array with great potential to develop portable sensing gadgets for food quality control and health care monitoring.

Abstract
Owing to their intrinsic amplifying effect together with chemical stability, graphene electrochemical transistor sensors (GECTs) are gaining momentum for sensing applications. However, the surface of GECTs for different detection substances must be modified with different recognition molecules, which was cumbersome and lack a universal method. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is a kind of polymer with specific recognition function for given molecules. Here, MIP and GECTs were combined to effectively solve the problem of weak selectivity of GECTs, and achieve the high sensitivity and selectivity of MIP-GECTs equipment in detecting acetaminophen (AP) in complex urine environment. A novel molecular imprinting sensor based on Au nanoparticles modified zirconia (ZrO2) inorganic molecular imprinting membrane on reduced graphene oxide (ZrO2-MIP-Au/rGO) was proposed. ZrO2-MIP-Au/rGO was synthesized by one-step electropolymerization using AP as template, ZrO2 precursor as the functional monomer. The -OH group on ZrO2 and the -OH/-CONH- group on AP were easily bonded by hydrogen bonding to form a MIP layer on the surface, which allows the sensor to have a large number of imprinted cavities for AP specific adsorption. As a proof of method, the GECTs based on ZrO2-MIP-Au/rGO functional gate electrode has the characteristics of wide linear range (0.1 nM-4 mM), low detection limit (0.1 nM) and high selectivity for AP detection. These achievements highlight the introduction of specific and selective MIP to GECTs with unique amplification function, which could effectively solve the problem of selectivity of GECTs in complex environments, suggesting the potential of MIP-GECTs in real-time diagnosis.

P53-response circRNA_0006420 aggravates lung cancer radiotherapy resistance by promoting formation of HUR/PTBP1 complex. J Adv Res 2023:S2090-1232(23)00203-5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND p53 wild-type lung cancer cells can develop radiation resistance. Circular RNA (circRNA) consists of a family of transcripts with exclusive structures. circRNA is critical in tumorigenesis and is a potential biomarker or therapeutic target. It is uncertain how circRNA expression and functions are regulated post-radiation in p53 wild-type cancer cells. METHODS A549 or H1299 cells were divided into p53-wt and p53-KO groups by CRISPR/Cas9; both groups were subjected to 4Gy ionizing radiation (IR: p53-wt-IR and p53-KO-IR). RNA-seq, CCK8, cell cycle, and other functional and mechanism experiments were performed in vivo. p53 gene knockout mice were generated to test the cell results in vitro. RESULTS circRNAs were found in differential groups. circRNA_0006420 (IRSense) was upregulated in p53-wt cells but had the same expression level as p53-KO cells after radiation, indicating that p53 silencing prevents its upregulation after IR. In the presence of p53, upregulated IRSense post-radiation induces G2/M arrest by regulating DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway-related proteins. Meanwhile, upregulated IRSense post-radiation aggravates the radiation-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Interestingly, in the presence of p53, it promotes IRSense/HUR/PTBP1 complex formation resulting in the promotion of the radiation-induced EMT. Moreover, c-Jun regulates the upregulation of p53 transcription after radiation treatment. For these lung cancer cells with p53, upregulated IRSense aggravates lung cancer cell proliferation and increases radiation resistance by interacting with HUR (ElAV-like protein 1) and PTBP1 (polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1) in the nucleus. CONCLUSIONS Lung cancer cells retaining p53 may upregulate circRNA_0006420 (IRSense) expression post radiation to form an IRSense/HUR/PTBP1 complex leading to radiotherapy resistance. This study furthers our understanding of the roles of circRNA in regulating the effect of radiotherapy and provides novel therapeutic avenues for effective clinical lung cancer therapies.

Abstract
Infectious diseases in livestock industry are major problems for animal health, food safety, and the economy. Zoonotic diseases from farm animals are significant threat to human population as well. These are notifiable diseases listed by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). Rapid diagnostic methods can help keep infectious diseases under control in herds. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a simple and rapid nucleic acid amplification method that is studied widely for detection of many infectious diseases in the field. LAMP allows biosensing of target DNA or RNA under isothermal conditions with high specificity in a short period of time. An untrained user can analyze results based on color change or turbidity. Here we review LAMP assays to diagnose OIE notifiable ruminant viral diseases in literature highlighting properties of LAMP method considering what is expected from an efficient, field usable diagnostic test.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have gained great interest because of their specific and distinct properties. Chemically synthesized AgNPs (cAgNPs) are often unsuitable for medical applications due to requiring toxic and hazardous solvents. Thus, green synthesis of AgNPs (gAgNPs) using safe and nontoxic substances has attracted particular focus. The current study investigated the potential of Salvadora persica and Caccinia macranthera extracts in the synthesis of CmNPs and SpNPs, respectively. Aqueous extracts of Salvadora persica and Caccinia macranthera were prepared and taken as reducing and stabilizing agents through gAgNPs synthesis. The antimicrobial effects of gAgNPs against susceptible and antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains and their toxicity effects on L929 fibroblast normal cells were evaluated. TEM images and particle size distribution analysis showed that the CmNPs and SpNPs have average sizes of 14.8 nm and 39.4 nm, respectively. The XRD confirms the crystalline nature and purity of both CmNPs and SpNPs. FTIR results demonstrate the involvement of the biologically active substances of both plant extracts in the green synthesis of AgNPs. According to MIC and MBC results, higher antimicrobial effects were seen for CmNPs with a smaller size than SpNPs. In addition, CmNPs and SpNPs were much less cytotoxic when examined against a normal cell relative to cAgNPs. Based on high efficacy in controlling antibiotic-resistant pathogens without detrimental adverse effects, CmNPs may have the capacity to be used in medicine as imaging, drug carrier, and antibacterial and anticancer agents.

Exploring the Paradigm of Phyto-Nanofabricated Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Recent Advancements, Applications, and Challenges. Mol Biotechnol 2023:10.1007/s12033-023-00799-8. [PMID: 37436581 DOI: 10.1007/s12033-023-00799-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023]
Abstract
The development of nanotechnology, in particular metal oxide nanoparticles, has captured immense scientific attention in the global arena due to their unique properties leading to their unique diverse applications. But the use of toxic precursors and high operational cost make existing methodologies inefficient for synthesising metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs). Biogenic synthesis of MONPs has been hailed as a more sustainable approach for the synthesis of NPs due to its alignment with the principles of green chemistry. Microorganisms (bacteria, yeast, algae), animal sources (silk, fur, etc.), and plants are effective, low-cost, and eco-friendly means of synthesizing MONPs since they possess a high bio-reduction abilities to produce NPs of various shapes and sizes. The current review encompasses recent advancements in the field of plant-mediated MONP synthesis and characterisation. The detailed evaluation of various synthesis processes and parameters, key influencing factors affecting the synthesis efficiency and product morphology, practical applications with insight into the associated limitations and challenges presents a valuable database that will be helpful in developing alternative prospects and potential engineering applications.

Impact of alternate Mn doping in ternary nanocomposites on their structural, optical and antimicrobial properties: Comparative analysis of photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial activity. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 337:117706. [PMID: 36933533 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The present study was done to investigate and compare the photocatalytic and antibacterial activity of two in situ Manganese doped ternary nanocomposites. The dual ternary hybrid systems comprised Mn-doped Ag2WO4 coupled with MoS2-GO and Mn-doped MoS2 coupled with Ag2WO4-GO. Both hierarchical alternate Mn-doped ternary heterojunctions formed efficient plasmonic catalysts for wastewater treatment. The novel nanocomposites were well-characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS, HR-TEM, XPS, UV-VIS DRS, and PL techniques confirming the successful insertion of Mn+2 ions in respective host substrates. The bandgap of the ternary nanocomposites evaluated by the tauc plot showed them visible light-active nanocomposites. The photocatalytic ability of both Mn-doped coupled nanocomposites was investigated against the dye methylene blue. Both ternary nanocomposites showed excellent sunlight harvesting ability for dye degradation in 60 min. The maximum catalytic efficiency of both photocatalysts was obtained at a solution pH value of 8, photocatalyst dose and oxidant dose of 30 mg/100 mL and 1 mM for Mn-Ag2WO4/MoS2-GO, 50 mg/100 mL, 3 mM for Mn-MoS2/Ag2WO4-GO keeping IDC of 10 ppm for all photocatalysts. The nanocomposites showed excellent photocatalytic stability after five successive cycles. The response surface methodology was used as a statistical tool for the evaluation of the photocatalytic response of several interacting parameters for dye degradation by ternary composites. The antibacterial activity was determined by the inactivation of gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria by support-based doped ternary hybrids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bornyl acetate (BA), as a bicyclic monoterpene, is an active volatile component widely found in plants across the globe. BA can be used as essence and food flavor agent and is widely used in perfumes and food additives. It remains a key component in several proprietary Chinese medicines. PURPOSE This review summarized the pharmacological activity and research prospects of BA, making it the first of its kind to do so. Our aim is to provide a valuable resource for those pursuing research on BA. METHODS Databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI were used based on search formula "(bornyl acetate) NOT (review)" from 1967 to 2022. For the relevant knowledge of TCM, we quoted Chinese literature. Articles related to agriculture, industry, and economics were excluded. RESULTS BA showed rich pharmacological activities: It inhibits the NF-κB signal pathway via affecting the phosphorylation of IKB and the production of IKKs, inhibits the MAPK signal pathway via inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38, down-regulates pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, up-regulates IL-11, reduces NO production, regulates immune response via up-regulating CD86+, decreases catecholamine secretion, and reduces tau protein phosphorylation. In addition to the pharmacological activities of BA, its toxicity and pharmacokinetics were also discussed in this paper. CONCLUSION BA has promising pharmacological properties, especially anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. It also has sedative properties and potential for use in aromatherapy. Compared to traditional NSAIDs, it has a more favorable safety profile while maintaining efficacy. BA has potential for developing novel drugs for treating various conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, lead is still used worldwide in several applications, especially in industry. Both environmental and industrial lead exposures remain a public health problem in many developing and rapidly industrializing countries. Plant polyphenols are pleiotropic in their function and have historically made a major contribution to pharmacotherapy. PURPOSE To summarize available pre-clinical and limited clinical evidence on plant polyphenols as potential antidotes against lead poisoning and discuss toxic mechanisms of lead. METHOD A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed publications was performed from core collections of electronic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Articles written in English-language from inception until December 2022 were selected. RESULTS In this review, we review key toxic mechanisms of lead and its pathological effects on the neurological, reproductive, renal, cardiovascular, hematological, and hepatic systems. We focus on plant polyphenols against lead toxicity and involved mechanisms. Finally, we address scientific gaps and challenges associated with translating these promising preclinical discoveries into effective clinical therapies. CONCLUSION While preclinical evidence suggests that plant polyphenols exhibit bioprotective effects against lead toxicity, scant and equivocal clinical data highlight a need for clinical trials with those polyphenols.

Abstract
The present investigation was aimed to explore the cadmium removal efficiency, mechanism and characterization of Chitosan biopolymers from cephalopods waste. The extracted chitosan has showed good yield of 32% and with high minerals, ash and moisture content. In the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis multiple active functional groups of Amine, Amine, Hydroxyl were found between 612 and 3424 cm-1 and the sugar signals such as N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) and H-1 [GlcN (H-1D), GlcNAc (H-1A)] were identified in Chitosan by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The Crystalline, rough surface, micropores characters were observed in Chitosan surface by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis and the pores played a key role in adsorption process. The Cd ions removal was performed by batch experiment and the results were revealed that the pH, temperature, time and dosage highly influenced the process and the optimum condition was discovered through RSM for pH 7, temperature 42.5 °C, time 220 min and dosage of sorbent 1 g/L respectively. The kinetics models of the Cd removal were carried out and the results revealed that the Pseudo-second order is more suitable and fit for removal than Pseudo-first order model. Chitosan surface characters and functional groups played a big role in adsorption process and Chitosan can be alternative eco-friendly, low cost and highly efficient sorbent for heavy metal removal in effluent treatment plants.

Unveiling hepatotoxicity distinction of coumarin-related compounds from glycosides to aglycones in Fructus Psoraleae by integrating UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and high content analysis. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023:116664. [PMID: 37253395 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Fructus Psoraleae (FP), the dried and ripe fruit of Cullen corylifolium (L.) Medik., is widely used due to its various clinical pharmacological effects, but its hepatotoxicity restricts its clinical application. So far, its hepatotoxic components and their underlying mechanism have not been systematically elucidated. AIM OF THE STUDY This study was undertaken to reveal the hepatotoxicity distinction of coumarin-related compounds from glycosides to aglycones in FP and elucidate their potential mechanism. METHODS Rats were administrated with the aqueous extract of Fructus Psoraleae (AEFP), in which eight coumarin-related compounds were focused. Subsequently, compounds exposed in rats' livers were detected by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS, and the identified hepatotoxic compounds were evaluated to elaborate their possible mechanism by the aid of high content analysis (HCA). RESULTS Eight coumarin-related compounds were identified, among which psoralenoside (PO), isopsoralenoside (IPO), psoralen (P), and isopsoralen (IP) were the principally exposed compounds in rats' livers. Furocoumarinic acid glucoside (FAG), (E)-3-(4-(((2S, 3R, 4S, 5S, 6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl) tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl) oxy) benzofuran-5-yl) acrylic acid (isofurocoumarinic acid glucoside, IFAG), furocoumarinic acid (FA), and (E)-3-(4-hydroxybenzofuran-5-yl) acrylic acid (isofurocoumarinic acid, IFA) were also detected in low abundance. P, IP, FA, and IFA were identified as the hepatotoxic compounds, while their glycosides were almost non-hepatotoxic. The HCA's results showed that hepatotoxic compounds disrupted the balance in reactive oxygen species (ROS), nuclear area, and mitochondrial membrane potential of HepG2 cells, leading to the occurrence of hepatotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS P, IP, FA, and IFA were identified as hepatotoxic compounds, from which P and IP were proposed as the important risk components for hepatotoxicity. The conversion from glycosides to aglycones played an essential role in FP-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
The rational fabrication of point-of-care testing (POCT) featuring simplicity, rapidity, low cost, portability, high sensitivity and accuracy is crucial for maintaining food safety in resource-limited locations and home healthcare but remains challenging. Herein, we report a universal colorimetric-photothermal-smartphone triple-mode sensing platform for POC food-grade glutathione (GSH) detection. This simple sensing platform for GSH detection takes merits of three techniques: commercially available filter paper, thermometer and smartphone via an excellent CoFeCe-mediated oxidase-like activity. This strategy allows CoFeCe three-atom hydroxide to efficiently convert dissolved oxygen into O2·- and catalyzes 3, 3', 5, 5'-tertamethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate an oxidized TMB with remarkable color changes and photothermal effect, resulting in a colorimetric-temperature-color triple-mode signal output. The constructed sensor exhibits high sensitivity with a limit of detection of 0.092 μM for GSH detection. We expect this sensing platform can be easily modified for the determination of GSH in commercial samples with the simple testing strips.

Abstract
The establishment of new mechanisms for target identification and signal amplification continues to drive innovation in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platforms. In this paper, a novel ECL insulin sensing platform was constructed by utilizing the molecular recognition properties of cucurbit[7]uril. Specifically, the macrocyclic host molecule cucurbit[7]uril was immobilized on the surface of the sensing platform as an identification probe, which could selectively capture insulin according to the inherent properties of the protein N-terminal. Introducing the rigid molecule cucurbit[7]uril into the sensing interface could reduce the influence of the environmental parameters on the sensing system, which provides a reliable guarantee for the accurate detection of insulin. Furthermore, gold nanoclusters were modified by utilizing the molecular recognition properties of cucurbit[7]uril, and used as anode signal probes for ECL sensing platform. The macrocyclic molecules cucurbit[7]uril passivated the surface of the nanoclusters, inhibited the non-radiative relaxation and improved the physical stability of the luminophore, leading to a significant increase in the sensitivity and stability of the ECL probe. The ECL sensing platforms exhibited a linear range from 50.00 fg/mL to 100.0 ng/mL, with a detection limit of 5.44 fg/mL. This study revealed the critical role of cucurbit[7]uril in target recognition and signal amplification, extending the scope of supramolecular applications in ECL.

They are classified into microplastics (MP; defined from 1 μm to 5 mm) and smaller nanoplastics (NP; <1 μm). NPs may pose higher ecological risks than MPs. Various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques have been used to detect MPs, and the same methods have occasionally been used for NPs. However, they are not based on receptors, which provide high specificity in most biosensing applications. Receptor-based micro/nanoplastics (MNP) detection can provide high specificity, distinguishing MNPs from the environmental samples and, more importantly, identifying the plastic types. It can also offer a low limit of detection (LOD) required for environmental screening. Such receptors are expected to detect NPs specifically at the molecular level. This review categorizes the receptors into cells, proteins, peptides, fluorescent dyes, polymers, and micro/nanostructures. Detection techniques used with these receptors are also summarized and categorized. There is plenty of room for future research to test for broader classes of environmental samples and many plastic types, to lower the LOD, and to apply the current techniques for NPs. Portable and handheld MNP detection should also be demonstrated for field use since the current demonstrations primarily utilized laboratory instruments. Detection on microfluidic platforms will also be crucial in miniaturizing and automating the assay and, eventually, collecting an extensive database to support machine learning-based classification of MNP types.

Abstract
Green credit is an important financial policy tool to solve environmental pollution problems. Improving industrial green total factor productivity (IGTFP) is the key to promote industrial green development. Our study adopts provincial data from 2005 to 2020 to investigate the influence of green credit (GC) on IGTFP. We find that GC significantly improves IGTFP on the whole, industrial structure upgrading and green innovation are the two key impact paths. Threshold model tests show that with the increase of GC, human capital and R&D intensity, the promoting effects of GC on IGTFP are significantly enhanced. Heterogeneity tests indicate that the promoting effect of GC on IGTFP was further enhanced after 2016, GC significantly promotes IGTFP in eastern China, but it is not obvious in central and western China. Besides, the promoting effect of GC on IGTFP is significantly enhanced with the increase of IGTFP. Our research shows that the government should further optimize the green credit system and play the role of green credit in promoting green innovation and industrial structure upgrading.

Abstract
In this study, based on the oxidase activity and photothermal effect of manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2 NSs), with thiamine (TH) as the fluorescence response signal and tris (2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) hexahydrate as the reference signal, an enzyme-regulated ratiometric fluorescence and photothermal dual-mode probe was constructed for the quantitative detection of organophosphorus pesticide (OPs) residues. OPs reduced the production of the reductive product thiocholine by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase, thereby regulating the residual amount of MnO2 NSs. With the increase of OPs concentration, the color of the probe solution gradually transitioned from red to blue, and the temperature gradually increased. Using dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos as pesticide models, the developed probes exhibited sensitive responses to OPs in a wide linear range of 0.1-8000 ng/mL. The detection limits of dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos in fluorescence mode were 1.13 × 10-3 ng/mL and 0.86 ng/mL, respectively. The corresponding detection limits in photothermal mode were 1.01 ng/mL and 1.02 ng/mL, respectively. The proposed probe displayed excellent anti-interference and reliability in the analysis of OPs residues in real samples. The dual-mode probe with self-verification function is expected to provide more accurate and robust detection results than the single-mode probe, and has a wider application prospect.

Abstract
A series of Ca9Gd(VO4)7: Dy3+ (x = 0.01-0.20) nanophosphor crystals emitting a cool white light were synthesized by solution combustion methodology. The X-ray diffraction patterns were analyzed and processed using Rietveld refinement. The fabricated nanophosphor was found to crystallize in a trigonal crystal lattice with space group R3c(161). The morphological behavior of the prepared nanophosphor was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photoluminescence properties of the nanophosphor correspond to cool white emission upon near-ultraviolet (NUV) excitation at 327 nm due to 4F9/2 → 6H15/2 (bluish) and 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 (yellowish) radiative relaxations at 487 nm and 576 nm respectively. Also, there is a strong occurrence of double charge transfer from O2- ions to Dy3+ and V5+ ions with the latter being stronger due to the high positive charge of V5+ ions. Color coordinates (x = 0.2878, y = 0.3259) are consistent with white emission. Auzel's model was implemented to examine the non-radiative relaxation (113.5 ms-1), radiative lifetime (1.4856 ms), and quantum efficiency (83.13%) values. The crystalline and optical behavior of the synthesized cool white emitting nanophosphor facilitates its use in near-UV-based WLEDs and other advanced solid-state lighting.

Abstract
Antibiotic was detected in many environments, and it had posed a serious threat to human health. The advanced oxidation process has been considered an effective way to treat antibiotics. In this work, using industrial waste red mud (RM) as raw material, a series of modified RM (MRM-T; T donates the calcination temperature) was obtained via a facile calcination method and applied to activate sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) for the lomefloxacin (LOM) degradation. Among all MRM-T, MRM-700 exhibited superior catalytic activity, and approximately 89% of LOM (10 mg/L) was degraded at 30 min through the activation of NaHSO3 ([NaHSO3] = 0.5 g/L) by MRM-700 ([MRM-700] = 0.9 g/L). Moreover, the kinetic constant of LOM removal in the MRM-700/NaHSO3 system (0.082 min-1) was 16.4 times higher than that of the RM-raw/NaHSO3 system (0.005 min-1). The as-synthesized product of MRM-700 was characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectra. The result indicated that the catalyst possessed excellent pore structure, high specific area, and abundant Fe3+ sites, and the lattice of Fe2O3 was doped after calcination, both of which were favorable for the activation of NaHSO3. The quenching experiment proved that •SO4- and •OH- active species were produced in MRM-700/NaHSO3 system, and •SO4- played a dominant role in LOM removal. In addition, the potential LOM degradation pathway was analyzed via UPLC-MS technology and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, and the toxicity of the treated LOM solution was tested by the culture of mung bean sprouts. This study not only provided a feasible strategy for the valuable use of RM to activate NaHSO3 but also offered a cost-effective catalyst for the efficient removal of pollutants in wastewater.

Abstract
MicroRNA-125b (miR-125b) is highly associated with synaptic dysfunction and tau hyperphosphorylation in the early pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), making it a promising biomarker for early AD diagnosis. Hence, there is an urgent need for a reliable sensing platform to assist in situ miR-125b detection. In this work, we report a dual "turn-on" fluorescence biosensor based on the nanocomposite of aggregation-induced emission fluorogen (AIEgen)-labeled oligonucleotide (TPET-DNA) probes immobilized on the surface of cationic dextran modified molybdenum disulfide (TPET-DNA@Dex-MoS2). In the presence of the target, TEPT-DNA can hybridize with miR-125b to form a DNA/RNA duplex, causing TPET-DNA to detach from the surface of Dex-MoS2 that simultaneously activates the dual fluorescence enhancement processes: (1) recovery of TPET-DNA signal and (2) strong fluorescent emission from AIEgen triggered by restriction of the intramolecular rotation. The sensing performance of TPET-DNA@Dex-MoS2 was demonstrated by detecting miR-125b in vitro with good sensitivity at the picomolar level and rapid response (≤1 h) without amplification procedures. Furthermore, our nanoprobes exhibited excellent imaging capabilities to aid real-time monitoring of the endogenous miR-125b in PC12 cells and brain tissues of mice AD model induced by local administration of okadaic acid (OA). The fluorescence signals of the nanoprobes indicated miR-125b was spatially associated with phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, TPET-DNA@Dex-MoS2 could be a promising tool for in situ and real-time monitoring of the AD-related microRNAs and also provide mechanistic insight into the early prognosis of AD.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic polyurethane foam is one of the most promising materials for oil-water separation. However, there are only limited studies prepared matrix superhydrophobic foams as adsorbents. In this paper, SiO2 modified by 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorododecyl trichlorosilane (F-SiO2) was added into the lignin-based foam matrix by a one-step foaming technique. The average diameter of F-SiO2 was about 480 nm with an water contact angle (WCA) of 160.3°. The lignin-based polyurethane foam with F-SiO2 had a superhydrophobic water contact angle of 151.3°. There is no obvious change in contact angle after 100 cycles of compression or after cutting and abrasion. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that F-SiO2 was distributed both on the surface and inside of the foam. The efficiency for oil-water separation reached 99 %. Under the light intensity of 1 kW/m2, the surface temperature of the lignin-based foam rose to 77.6 °C. In addition, the foam exhibited self-cleaning properties and degraded within 2 h in an alcoholic alkali solution. Thus, in this study, we developed a novel matrix superhydrophobic lignin-based polyurethane foam with an excellent promise to be used as oil water separation adsorbents in industrial wastewater treatment and oil spill clean-up processes.

Abstract
The rapid and efficient detection of deafness gene DNA plays an important role in the clinical diagnosis of deafness diseases. This study demonstrates the ultrasensitive detection of complementary DNA (cDNA) by employing a nanointerface-sensitized fiber optic biosensor. The sensor consists of SMF-TNCF-MMF-SMF (abbreviated as STMS) structure with lateral offset. Besides, it is functionalized with a nanointerface of black phosphorus (BP) to enhance the light-matter interaction and eventually improve the sensing performances. Relying on this nanointerface-sensitized sensor, we successfully realize the in-situ detection of cDNA at concentrations ranging from 1 pM to 1 μM, with a sensitivity of 0.719 nm/lgM. The limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 0.24 pM, which is at least two orders of magnitude lower than those of existing methods. The sensor exhibits the advantages of simple operation, fast response, label-free measurement, excellent repeatability, and high selectivity. Our contribution suggests a convenient approach for deafness gene DNA detection and can be extended for general ultra-low concentration DNA detection applications.
