Abstract
Due to the significant selectivity for Cs+, ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP) possesses potential to uptake radiocesium from high-level liquid waste (HLLW), whereas its micro-crystalline structure and fine powder morphology limit its industrial application. Although the granulation method with alginate is prospective for the preparation of an AMP exchanger, the mechanical strength of obtained beads may be insufficient for application. In this context, we prepared silica-reinforced AMP-calcium alginate (ACS) beads and evaluated their performance for Cs+ removal from strong acidic solutions. It was found that the addition of silica in the fabrication significantly improved the mechanical strength of the beads in comparison to those without silica. Notably, the beads with an AMP/silica mass ratio of 1.0 exhibited an exceptional mechanical strength, surpassing that of ACS beads composed of other components. The batch experiment results indicated that the Cs+ adsorption follows a non-linear pseudo-second-order rate equation. The distribution coefficient of Cs+ was high even in extreme acidic conditions (∼1.6 × 102 mL/g in 8.0 mol/L HNO3 solution). The Cs+ adsorption can be well fitted with the Langmuir model, and the estimated maximum exchange capacity in 3.0 mol/L HNO3 could reach 23.9 mg/g. More importantly, ACS beads showed excellent selectivity toward Cs+ uptake over eight co-existing metal ions in simulated HLLW, with separation factor values all above 145. The column experiment exhibited that the beads can serve as the stationary phase in columns to effectively remove Cs+. The findings of this study are significant as they provide insights into the development of efficient materials for radiocesium removal from high-level liquid waste. The results demonstrate the potential of silica-reinforced ACS beads for Cs+ adsorption, with promising applications in industrial settings.

Abstract
AIM The combination of conventional chemotherapeutic drugs with radionuclides or external radiation is discussed for a long period of time. The major advantage of a successful combination therapy is the reduction of severe side effects by decreasing the needed dose and simultaneously increasing therapeutic efficiency. METHODS In this study, pUC19 plasmid DNA was incubated with the cytostatic drug cisplatin and additionally irradiated with 99mTc, 188Re and 223Ra. To verify the contribution of possibly excited platinum atoms to the emission of Auger electrons we determined DNA damages, such as single- and double strand breaks. RESULTS The threshold concentration value of cisplatin, which was tolerated by pUC19 plasmid DNA was determined to be 18-24 nM. Nevertheless, even at higher dose values (>100 Gy) and simultaneous incubation of cisplatin to 200 ng plasmid DNA, no significant increase in the number of induced single- and double-strand breaks was obtained, compared to the damage solely caused by the radionuclides. CONCLUSION We thereby conclude that there is no direct dependence of the mechanism of strand break induction to the absence or presence of platinum atoms attached to the DNA. Reported increasing DNA damages in therapy approaches on a cellular level strongly depend on the study design and are mainly influenced by repair mechanisms in living cells. Nevertheless, the use of radioactive cisplatin, containing the Auger electron emitter 191Pt, 193mPt or 195mPt, is a bright prospect for future therapy by killing tumor cells combining two operating principles: a cytostatic drug and a radiopharmaceutical at the same time.

Abstract
137Cs with strong radioactivity and a long half-life is highly hazardous to human health and the environment. The efficient removal of 137Cs from complex solutions is still challenging because of its high solubility and easy mobility and the influence of interfering ions. It is highly desirable to develop effective scavengers for radiocesium remediation. Here, the highly efficient uptake of Cs+ has been realized by two robust layered metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely [(CH3)2NH2]In(L)2·DMF·H2O (DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide, H2L= H2aip (5-aminoisophthalic acid) for 1 and H2hip (5-hydroxyisophthalic acid) for 2). Remarkably, 1 and 2 hold excellent acid and alkali resistance and radiation stabilities. They exhibit fast kinetics, high capacities (q m Cs = 270.86 and 297.67 mg/g for 1 and 2, respectively), excellent selectivity for Cs+ uptake, and facile elution for the regeneration of materials. Particularly, 1 and 2 can achieve efficient Cs+/Sr2+ separation in a wide range of Sr/Cs molar ratios. For example, the separation factor (SF Cs/Sr) is up to ∼320 for 1. Moreover, the Cs+ uptake and elution mechanisms have been directly elucidated at the molecular level by an unprecedented single-crystal to single-crystal (SC-SC) structural transformation, which is attributed to the strong interactions between COO- functional groups and Cs+ ions, easily exchangeable [(CH3)2NH2]+, and flexible and robust anionic layer frameworks with open windows as "pockets". This work highlights layered MOFs for the highly efficient uptake of Cs+ ions in the field of radionuclide remediation.

Abstract
Histone demethylases are overexpressed or display altered activity in numerous human cancers leading to alterations in cell cycle dynamics, DNA repair kinetics, and therapeutic resistance. Consequently, therapeutic targeting of histone demethylases has become an active and promising area of research in human oncology. However, the role of histone demethylases and the potential efficacy of demethylase inhibition in canine cancers remains largely unknown. In the present work, we addressed this knowledge gap by exploring the therapeutic potential of histone demethylase inhibitors (HDIs) in canine oral melanoma. Using canine melanoma cell lines, we determined that broad spectrum HDIs result in decreased cell survival and prolonged DNA damage repair kinetics. We then showed that JARID1B, a histone H3 demethylase implicated in proliferation-dormancy regulation and drug sensitivity in human cancers, is highly expressed in canine tumour tissues. HDIs targeting JARID1B, and related JARID1 family members, significantly reduced survival fractions in canine melanoma cell lines, but did not appear to modulate DNA damage repair kinetics like broad spectrum HDI treatments. Importantly, we found that the anti-proliferative effects of JARID1-targeted HDIs are preserved in cell lines resistant to platinum-based chemotherapeutics, suggesting that HDIs may serve as a viable therapeutic strategy when faced with oral melanomas that progress despite the use of conventional therapies.

Abstract
It is imperative yet challenging to efficiently sequester the 137Cs+ ion from aqueous solutions because of its highly environmental mobility and extremely high radiotoxicity. The systematical clarification for underlying mechanism of Cs+ removal and elution at the molecular level is rare. Here, efficient Cs+ capture is achieved by a thioantimonate [MeNH3]3Sb9S15 (FJSM-SbS) with high capacity, fast kinetics, wide pH durability, excellent β and γ radiation resistances, and facile elution. The Cs+ removal is not significantly impacted by coexisting Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Sr2+ ions which is beneficial to the remediation of Cs+-contaminated real waters. Importantly, the mechanism is directly illuminated by revealing an unprecedented single-crystal to single-crystal structural transformation upon Cs+ uptake and elution processes. The superior Cs+ removal results from an unusual synergy from strong affinity of soft S2- with Cs+, easily exchangeable [MeNH3]+ cations, and the flexible and robust framework of FJSM-SbS with open windows as trappers.

Abstract
It is estimated that more than 6 million pet dogs are diagnosed with cancer annually in the USA. Both primary care and specialist veterinarians are frequently called upon to provide clinical care that improves the quality and/or quantity of life for affected animals. Because these cancers develop spontaneously in animals that often share the same environment as their owners, have intact immune systems and are of similar size to humans, and because the diagnostic tests and treatments for these cancers are similar to those used for management of human cancers, canine cancer provides an opportunity for research that simultaneously helps improve both canine and human health care. This is especially true in the field of radiation oncology, for which there is a rich and continually evolving history of learning from the careful study of pet dogs undergoing various forms of radiotherapy. The purpose of this review article is to inform readers of the potential utility and limitations of using dogs in that manner; the peer-reviewed literature will be critically reviewed, and current research efforts will be discussed. The article concludes with a look toward promising future directions and applications of this pet dog “model.”
