Abstract
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) has been used in a variety of products due to its outstanding phase transition properties. However, as potential heavy metal contaminants, the environmental hazards and risks of VO2 should be systematically investigated. Biological nitrogen fixation is one of the most dominant processes in biogeochemical cycle, which is associated with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. In this study, we reported the environmental bio-effects of VO2 micro/nanoparticles on the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii. VO2 at 10 and 30 mg/L caused severe hazards to A. vinelandii, such as cell apoptosis, oxidative damage, physical damage, genotoxicity, and the loss of nitrogen fixation activity. The up-regulated differentially expressed genes of A. vinelandii were related to stress response, and the down-regulated genes were mainly related to energy metabolism. Surprisingly, VO2 of 10 mg/L decreased the nif gene expression but elevated the vnf gene expression, which enhanced the ability of A. vinelandii to reduce acetylene in anaerobic environment. In addition, under tested conditions, VO2 nanoparticles exhibited insignificantly higher toxicity than VO2 microparticles.

A Glutathione Peroxidase-Mimicking Nanozyme Precisely Alleviates Reactive Oxygen Species and Promotes Periodontal Bone Regeneration. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2302485.

Abstract
The use of oxidoreductase nanozymes to regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) has gradually emerged in periodontology treatments. However, current nanozymes for treating periodontitis eliminate ROS extensively and non-specifically, ignoring the physiological functions of ROS under normal conditions, which may result in uncontrolled side effects. Herein, using the MIL-47(V)-F (MVF) nanozyme, which mimics the function of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), it is proposed that ROS can be properly regulated by specifically eliminating H2 O2 , the most prominent ROS. Through H2 O2 elimination, MVF contributes to limiting inflammation, regulating immune microenvironment, and promoting periodontal regeneration. Moreover, MVF stimulates osteogenic differentiation of periodontal stem cells directly, further promoting regeneration due to the vanadium in MVF. Mechanistically, MVF regulates ROS by activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase 1 (Nrf2/HO-1) pathway and promotes osteogenic differentiation directly through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway. A promising periodontitis therapy strategy is presented using GPx-mimicking nanozymes through their triple effects of antioxidation, immunomodulation, and bone remodeling regulation, making nanozymes an excellent tool for developing precision medicine.

Abstract
Vanadium is a hard, silver-grey transition metal found in at least 60 minerals and fossil fuel deposits. Its oxide and other vanadium salts are toxic to humans, but the toxic effects depend on the vanadium form, dose, exposure duration, and route of intoxication. Vanadium is used by some life forms as an active center in enzymes, such as the vanadium bromoperoxidase of ocean algae and nitrogenases of bacteria. The structure and biochemistry of vanadate resemble those of phosphate, hence vanadate can be regarded as a phosphate competitor in a variety of biochemical enzymes such as kinases and phosphatases. In this review, we describe the biochemical pathways regulated by vanadium compounds and their potential therapeutic benefits for a range of disorders including type 2 diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and microbial pathology.

Abstract
Vanadium is an important trace element in bone and is involved in bone metabolism, bone formation, and bone growth, but the roles of various vanadium ions, especially of pentavalent vanadium, in bone tissue regenerative repair have been underestimated and even misinterpreted for a long time. The main purposes of this study are to investigate the release profile of Si, Ca, P, and V ions from vanadium doped mesoporous bioactive glass (V-MBG) particles and to explore the effect of pentavalent vanadium ions on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs as well as the corresponding osteogenic signaling pathway. On the basis of preparations of V-MBG particles with different pentavalent vanadium contents, the ion release behavior from V-MBG in distilled water and simulated body fluid was systemically investigated. Furthermore, the cytocompatibility and osteogenic effect of V-MBG extracts were studied in rBMSCs, and the related molecular mechanisms were preliminarily discussed. The results of dissolution experiments showed that the V ionic concentration exhibited a burst increase and then a sustained slow increase in the two media. The resultant V ions from 1.0V-MBG, 4.0V-MBG and 10.0V-MBG at 21 days were about 1.1, 5.8, and 12.5 mg L-1 in water, respectively, and 1.6, 4.8 and 12.8 mg L-1 in SBF, respectively. The release behaviors of Si, Ca, P, and V ions were evidently affected by high contents of incorporated vanadium. The cellular results indicated that compared to the control and MBG groups, the V(V) ions in V-MBG extracts at about 19.4 μM markedly promoted the proliferation, the gene and protein expression of BMP-2 and COL-I, and the ALP activity of rBMSCs in non-osteoinductive media, but insignificantly stimulated the OCN protein synthesis. More deeply, V(V) ions at about 19.4 μM significantly upregulated the gene and protein expressions of Itga 2b, FAK, and pERK1/2, demonstrating that V(V) ions could regulate osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs through the activation of the Itga 2b-FAK-MAPK (pERK1/2) signaling pathway. The in vivo results further confirmed that V-MBG induced and promoted new bone formation in the defect area compared to the PGC and PGC/V-M0 groups. These results would contribute to modify the perception about the biocompatibility and osteogenic promotion of pentavalent vanadium at an appropriate concentration.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an important zoonotic bacteria and hazardous for the health of human beings and livestock globally. The characteristics like biofilm forming, facultative intracellular survival, and growing resistance of S. aureus pose a great challenge to its use in therapy. Nanoparticles are considered as a promising way to overcome the infections’ therapeutic problems caused by S. aureus. In this paper, the present progress and challenges of nanoparticles in the treatment of S. aureus infection are focused on stepwise. First, the survival and infection mechanism of S. aureus are analyzed. Second, the treatment challenges posed by S. aureus are provided, which is followed by the third step including the advantages of nanoparticles in improving the penetration and accumulation ability of their payload antibiotics into cell, inhibiting S. aureus biofilm formation, and enhancing the antibacterial activity against resistant isolates. Finally, the challenges and future perspective of nanoparticles for S. aureus infection therapy are introduced. This review will help the readers to realize that the nanosystems can effectively fight against the S. aureus infection by inhibiting biofilm formation, enhancing intracellular delivery, and improving activity against methicillin-resistant S. aureus and small colony variant phenotypes as well as aim to help researchers looking for more efficient nano-systems to combat the S. aureus infections.

Abstract
Recently, Bi4V2O11 as an electrolyte material has pulled in considerable consideration because of its remarkable novel applications. In this article, novel, dysprosium-doped (x = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) Bi4V2O11 (Dy/BVO) nanoparticles have been synthesized by sol-gel strategy. The photocatalyst Dy/BVO nanoparticles exhibit higher photocatalytic efficiency than BVO nanoparticles assessed by debasement of tetracycline drug under visible light illumination. Our work focuses on the phase transformation, conducting properties, and mechanisms of the Dy/BVO nanoparticles in relation to execute some methods of processing and manufacturing product in commercial applications. The characterization of Dy/BVO was performed by Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and UV-vis analysis. ac impedance spectroscopy was used to analyze the conducting behavior of synthesized nanoparticles in the temperature range 100-600 °C. The photocatalytic activity revealed that Dy/BVO remarkably enhanced the photocatalytic activity. This is the first report that Dy/BVO can destroy the drug effluent which is coming from the drug industry and also worried about the human health hazards.
