Surface display system of Bacillus subtilis: A promising approach for improving the stability and applications of cellobiose dehydrogenase

Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) plays a crucial role in lignocellulose degradation and bioelectrochemical industries, making it highly in demand. However, the production and purification of CDH through fungal heterologous expression methods is time-consuming, costly, and challenging. In this study, we successfully displayed Pycnoporus sanguineus CDH (psCDH) on the surface of Bacillus subtilis spores for the first time. Enzymatic characterization revealed that spore surface display enhanced the tolerance of psCDH to high temperature (80 °C) and low pH levels (3.5) compared to free psCDH. Furthermore, we found that glycerol, lactic acid, and malic acid promoted the activity of immobilized spore-displayed psCDH; glycerol has a more significant stimulating effect, increasing the activity from 16.86 ± 1.27 U/mL to 46.26 ± 3.25 U/mL. After four reuse cycles, the psCDH immobilized with spores retained 48% of its initial activity, demonstrating a substantial recovery rate. In conclusion, the spore display system, relying on cotG, enables the expression and immobilization of CDH while enhancing its resistance to adverse conditions. This system demonstrates efficient enzyme recovery and reuse. This approach provides a novel method and strategy for the immobilization and stability enhancement of CDH.

Foam and fluid properties of purified saponins and non-purified water extracts from Camellia oleifera cake (by-product)

The physicochemical and foam properties of non-purified water extracts (WE) and purified tea saponins (TS) from Camellia oleifera cake (byproduct) were compared. WE showed different fluid properties at equal saponin concentrations (1.0 wt%) compared to TS. Particularly, it exhibited limited micelle size (average 434.1 nm), effective viscosity (0.15 Pa·s), and surface tension (43.9 mN/m) independently of pH. Moreover, the foam properties of WE were comparable to TS and better than sodium caseinate, especially foam stability. WE foam was more stable than TS foam under pH (3-7) and heating (40-80 °C). In the presence of NaCl, sucrose, and ethanol (5-20 wt%), WE and TS were effective and had similar foam behavior. Low concentrations of sucrose (<10 wt%)/ethanol (<20 wt%) significantly increased the foam capacity, while ethanol over 30 wt% was unfavorable. WE/TS foam contributes significantly to the desired physicochemical and sensory attributes (taste, texture, and appearance) of foods.

A multifactorial study of mass movement in the hilly and gully Loess Plateau based on intensive field surveys and remote sensing techniques

Mass movements, driven by various non-linearly correlated factors, exhibit high randomness, posing vast difficulties for field observations and subsequent investigations into the underlying mechanisms. In this study 157 mass movement incidents (including collapses, slump and spalling) and their primary influencing factors were surveyed in a small catchment of the hilly and gully Loess Plateau, China, through intensive field investigations and remote sensing techniques. The spatial pattern of mass movement and its relation with the influencing factors were assessed, while the relative impact of different factors was studied using the canonical correlation analysis. Results showed that 1) Mass movements predominantly occurred on gully slopes steeper than 70°. Collapses were the main type of mass movement, accounting for 87.9 % of the number of samples. 2) With regard to the impact of individual factors, rainstorms (rainfall intensity >50 mm day-1) significantly enhanced the occurrence frequency, erosion area and erosion volume of mass movement. The occurrence frequency and erosion area / volume were highest at a soil dry bulk density of 1.34 g cm-3 and 1.54 g cm-3, respectively. Mass movement occurred most frequently on unvegetated or unrooted gully slopes, where the resisting effect of vegetation on mass movement was absent. Gully slopes with smooth rather than rugged profiles were also found to be typical areas of mass movement. The occurrence frequency of mass movement decreased with the elevated topographic wetness index (TWI) and distance to slope top and increased with the distance to channels. 3) For the relative impact of different factors, rainfall and shear strength were key factors facilitating and resisting the onset of mass movement, respectively, while topography exerted the greatest influence on the erosion area and volume. This study revealed the relative influence of different factors on occurrence and scale of mass movement, providing a useful reference for modelling and control of the problem.

Porous chlorine-functionalized covalent organic framework anchored graphene aerogel composite for synergically enhanced solid phase microextraction of polychlorinated naphthalene in environmental water

The residues of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) produced in multiple industrial production and life processes are continuously entering environmental waters through atmospheric deposition and land drainage, and the water pollution caused by PCNs is continuing public concern due to their potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health. Herein, a new chlorine-functionalized covalent organic framework anchored graphene aerogel (COF-GA) was synthesized by covalent modification technology and used as fiber coating of solid-phase microextraction for synergically enhanced extraction of PCNs in environmental water. The extraction efficiency of COF-GA coated fiber was superior to commercial fiber due to the multiple interactions (π-π, hydrophobic interaction, and halogen bonding interaction). The COF-GA coated fiber has good stability, can avoid water vapor interference at 80 °C for a long time (30 -50 min) to maintain adsorption equilibrium, and can be reused at least 96 times. Combined with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, a sensitive method for the high-efficient enrichment (enrichment factors were 501 -7453 folds) and ultra-sensitive detection (LODs were 0.001 -0.428 pg/mL) of PCNs in environmental water was established. The enrichment factor for PCNs is significantly higher than in previous studies. This proposed method provides new technical support for the daily monitoring and risk assessment of trace PCNs in environmental water.

Development of a three-dimensional porous ionic liquid-chitosan-graphene oxide aerogel for efficient extraction and detection of polyhalogenated carbazoles in sediment samples

The three-dimensional porous ionic liquid-chitosan-graphene oxide aerogel (IL-CS-GOA) monolithic adsorbent with a through-hole structure was prepared using natural chitosan (CS) as the skeletal framework, graphene oxide (GO) as the support to provide mechanical strength, and ionic liquid (IL) as the porogen and modifier. The resulting IL-CS-GOA demonstrated a fluffy and porous structure with various pore sizes and excellent regeneration capability (over six cycles). Its specific surface area exceeded that of CS-GOA and IL-GOA by more than 7 times, enhancing its polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZs) adsorption capacity. Within 5 min, IL-CS-GOA (1.0 mg) exhibited adsorption amounts of 539 ng mg-1 for 3-bromocarbazole (3-BCZ), 716 ng mg-1 for 2,7-dibromocarbazole (2,7-BCZ), and 798 ng mg-1 for 1,3,6,8-tetrabromocarbazole (1,3,6,8-BCZ), showcasing its rapid mass transfer and high adsorption capabilities. IL-CS-GOA was utilized as the adsorbent for glass dropper extraction (GDE) in conjunction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), to develop a highly efficient and accurate method for determining PHCZs in sediments. Under optimal conditions, the established method exhibited a wide linear range (0.4-250 ng g-1, r ≥ 0.9990), low detection limits (0.04-0.24 ng g-1), and satisfactory recoveries (80.5 %-93.8 %), enabling the accurate and rapid detection of PHCZs in sediment samples. This study presents a novel approach for creating three-dimensional porous aerogels, introduces a new form of sample pretreatment using GDE with a monolithic adsorbent, and offers a new method for the determination of PHCZs in environmental matrices.

Alter codon bias of the P. pastoris genome to overcome a bottleneck in codon optimization strategy development and improve protein expression

Apart from its role in translation, codon bias is also an important mechanism to regulate mRNA levels. The traditional frequency-based codon optimization strategy is rather efficient in organisms such as N. crassa, but much less in yeast P. pastoris which is a popular host for heterologous protein expression. This is because that unlike N. crassa, the preferred codons of P. pastoris are actually AU-rich and hence codon optimization for extremely low GC content comes with issues of pre-mature transcriptional termination or low RNA stability in spite of translational advantages. To overcome this bottleneck, we focused on three reporter genes in P. pastoris first and confirmed the great advantage of GC-prone codon optimization on mRNA levels. Then we altered the codon bias profile of P. pastoris by introducing additional rare tRNA gene copies. Prior to that we constructed IPTG-regulated tRNA species to enable chassis cells to switch between different codon bias status. As demonstrated again with reporter genes, protein yield of luc and 0788 was successfully increased by 4-5 folds in chassis cells. In summary, here we provide an alternative codon optimization strategy for genes with unsatisfactory performance under traditional codon frequency-based optimization.

Development of high-barrier composite films for sustainable reduction of non-biodegradable materials in food packaging application

Widely employed petroleum-based food packaging materials have inflicted irreparable harm on ecosystems, primarily stemming from their non-biodegradable attributes and recycling complexities. Inspired by natural nacre with a layered aragonite platelet/nanofiber/protein multi-structure, we prepared high-barrier composite films by self-assembly of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), montmorillonite (MMT), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and alkyl ketene dimer (AKD). The composite films demonstrated outstanding barrier properties with oxygen vapor transmission of 0.193 g·mm·m-2·day-1 and water vapor transmission rates of 0.062 cm3·mm·m-2·day-1·0.1 MPa-1, which were significantly lower than those of most biomass-degradable packaging materials. Additionally, the impacts of mixing nanocellulose with various aspect ratios on the tensile strength and folding cycles of the films were examined. The exceptional resistance of the composite films to oil and water provides a novel and sustainable approach to reduce non-biodegradable plastic packaging.

Bridging the biochemistry lecture and laboratory courses: Construction and application of the "Innovative Experimental Design" module

Both lecture and laboratory courses of biochemistry are important professional courses for undergraduates with biology related majors. Course optimization and update is crucial but challenging, especially for the laboratory course. Although taught separately, here we showed a strategy to bridge the two courses and promote the improvement of both. In addition to knowledge teaching, we implanted the "Innovative Experimental Design" module in the lecture course in which students were required to design and present their own experimental ideas. After evaluation by the faculty group, the best idea was supported for further experimental test. Here we described the preliminary experiments and optimization procedures about the idea of microbial fuel cells. This experiment is ready to be included into the laboratory course program in spring 2023.

A multistep approach for exploring quality markers of Shengjiang Xiexin decoction by integrating plasma pharmacochemistry-pharmacokinetics-pharmacology

Shengjiang Xiexin decoction (SXD), a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), was used to alleviate delayed-onset diarrhea induced by the chemotherapeutic agent irinotecan (CPT-11). Our previous study showed that SXD regulated multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp-2) to alter the pharmacokinetics of CPT-11 and its metabolites. However, the pharmacodynamic constituents and the related quality markers of SXD are unclear. In this study, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS) was utilized to identify the prototypes and metabolites in rat plasma after oral administration of SXD. The pharmacokinetic markers (PK markers) were screened through quantification and semiquantification of SXD-related xenobiotics in plasma using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) combined with statistical analysis. Computational molecular docking was performed to assess the potential binding ability of the PK markers with the target Mrp-2. The results were verified by evaluating the impact on Mrp-2 function using Caco-2 cells. The quality markers were chosen from these PK markers based on the binding affinities with Mrp-2, the specificity and the traceability. As a result, a total of 142 SXD-related exogenous components, including 77 prototypes and 65 metabolites, were detected in rat plasma. Among these, 83 xenobiotics were selected as PK markers due to their satisfactory pharmacokinetic behaviors. Based on the characteristics of quality markers, the prototype-based PK markers were considered the indices of quality control for SXD, including baicalin, baicalein, wogonoside, wogonin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritigenin, norwogonin, oroxylin A, dihydrobaicalin, chrysin, glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid, oroxylin A 7-O-glucuronide, liquiritin and isoliquiritin. This study provided an interesting strategy for screening the quality markers involved in the pharmacokinetics of SXD and its action target, which offered important information for the modernization of SXD and other TCM formulae.

Recovery of Zn and Cu from municipal solid waste incineration fly ash by integrating ammonium leaching and ammonia removal

This study introduces an environmentally friendly process for recovering zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash using ammonium chloride leaching and ammonia removal. The leaching rates for Zn and Cu were 54.39% and 86.23%, respectively, with total recovery rates reaching 52.21% and 85.28%, respectively. The recovered precipitate demonstrated significant Zn (33.62%) and Cu (14.19%) contents, making it ideal for metal smelting. The ammonium leaching process also showcased effective reduction and dechlorination effects on the fly ash. The treated fly ash had a reduced mass of only 30.63% of the original, and chlorine content decreased from 26.23% to 0.84%. The results of this study support the sustainable utilization of MSWI fly ash by facilitating valuable resource recovery and promoting its conversion into construction materials.

Association between ambient PM1 and the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in China: A nationwide study

Particulate of diameter ≤ 1 µm (PM1) presents a novel risk factor of adverse health effects. Nevertheless, the association of PM1 with the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population is not well understood, particularly in regions with high PM1 levels like China. Based on a nationwide representative survey involving 47,204 adults and multi-source ambient air pollution inversion data, the present study evaluated the association of PM1 with CKD prevalence in China. The two-year average PM1, particulate of diameter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5), and PM1-2.5 values were accessed using a satellite-based random forest approach. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 or albuminuria. The results suggested that a 10 μg/m3 rise in PM1 was related to a higher CKD risk (odds ratio [OR], 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-1.18) and albuminuria (OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.05-1.17). The association between PM1 and CKD was more evident among urban populations, older adults, and those without comorbidities such as diabetes or hypertension. Every 1% increase in the PM1/PM2.5 ratio was related to the prevalence of CKD (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.03-1.04), but no significant relationship was found for PM1-2.5. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated long-term exposure to PM1 was associated with an increased risk of CKD in the general population and PM1 might play a leading role in the observed relationship of PM2.5 with the risk of CKD. These findings provide crucial evidence for developing air pollution control strategies to reduce the burden of CKD.

Tunable vortex bound states in multiband CsV3Sb5-derived kagome superconductors

Vortices and bound states offer an effective means of comprehending the electronic properties of superconductors. Recently, surface-dependent vortex core states have been observed in the newly discovered kagome superconductors CsV3Sb5. Although the spatial distribution of the sharp zero energy conductance peak appears similar to Majorana bound states arising from the superconducting Dirac surface states, its origin remains elusive. In this study, we present observations of tunable vortex bound states (VBSs) in two chemically-doped kagome superconductors Cs(V1-xTrx)3Sb5 (Tr = Ta or Ti), using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy. The CsV3Sb5-derived kagome superconductors exhibit full-gap-pairing superconductivity accompanied by the absence of long-range charge orders, in contrast to pristine CsV3Sb5. Zero-energy conductance maps demonstrate a field-driven continuous reorientation transition of the vortex lattice, suggesting multiband superconductivity. The Ta-doped CsV3Sb5 displays the conventional cross-shaped spatial evolution of Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon bound states, while the Ti-doped CsV3Sb5 exhibits a sharp, non-split zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) that persists over a long distance across the vortex. The spatial evolution of the non-split ZBCP is robust against surface effects and external magnetic field but is related to the doping concentrations. Our study reveals the tunable VBSs in multiband chemically-doped CsV3Sb5 system and offers fresh insights into previously reported Y-shaped ZBCP in a non-quantum-limit condition at the surface of kagome superconductor.

MiR-98-5p plays suppressive effects on IL-1β-induced chondrocyte injury associated with osteoarthritis by targeting CASP3

BACKGROUND

This study aims to explore how miR-98-5p affects osteoarthritis, focusing on its role in chondrocyte inflammation, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation.

METHODS

Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure miR-98-5p and CASP3 mRNA levels in OA cartilage tissues and IL-1β-treated CHON-001 cells. We predicted miR-98-5p and CASP3 binding sites using TargetScan and confirmed them via luciferase reporter assays. Chondrocyte viability was analyzed using CCK-8 assays, while pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) were quantified via ELISA. Caspase-3 activity was examined to assess apoptosis, and Western blotting was conducted for protein marker quantification.

RESULTS

Our results showed lower miR-98-5p levels in both OA cartilage and IL-1β-stimulated cells. Increasing miR-98-5p resulted in reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines, decreased caspase-3 activity, and improved cell viability. Furthermore, miR-98-5p overexpression hindered IL-1β-induced ECM degradation, evident from the decline in MMP-13 and β-catenin levels, and an increase in COL2A1 expression. MiR-98-5p's impact on CASP3 mRNA directly influenced its expression. Mimicking miR-98-5p's effects, CASP3 knockdown also inhibited IL-1β-induced inflammation, apoptosis, and ECM degradation. In contrast, CASP3 overexpression negated the suppressive effects of miR-98-5p.

CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, our data collectively suggest that miR-98-5p plays a protective role against IL-1β-induced damage in chondrocytes by targeting CASP3, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for OA.

Clinical observation of 10-mm endoscopic minimally invasive interlaminar decompression in the treatment of ossified lumbar spinal stenosis

PURPOSE

This study aims to observe the safety and effectiveness of 10-mm endoscopic minimally invasive interlaminar decompression in the treatment of ossified lumbar spinal stenosis.

METHODS

The clinical data of 50 consecutive patients with ossified lumbar spinal stenosis were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent minimally invasive interlaminar decompression with 10-mm endoscope. Patient demographics, perioperative data, and clinical outcomes were recorded. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores, and modified Macnab criteria were used to assess clinical outcomes. The lateral recess angle, real spinal canal area and effective intervertebral foramen area were used to assess the effect of decompression.

RESULTS

The mean age of all patients was 59.0±12.3 years. The mean operative time and intraoperative blood loss were 43.7±8.7 minutes and <20ml, respectively. Two years after surgery, the leg pain VAS score decreased from 7.4 ± 1.0 to 1.6 ± 0.6 (P < 0.05) and the ODI score decreased from 63.8 ± 7.6 to 21.7 ± 3.4 (P < 0.05). The lateral recess angle, real spinal canal area and effective intervertebral foramen area were significantly larger than before surgery (P < 0.05). The overall excellent and good rate at the last follow-up was 92.0% according to the modified Macnab criteria.

CONCLUSION

The 10-mm endoscopic minimally invasive interlaminar decompression can safely and effectively remove the ossification in the spinal canal and achieve adequate decompression in patients with ossified lumbar spinal stenosis.

Associations between heat waves and chronic kidney disease in China: The modifying role of land cover

The increasing frequency of heat waves under the global urbanization and climate change background poses elevating risks of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nevertheless, there has been no evidence on associations between long-term exposures to heat waves and CKD as well as the modifying effects of land cover patterns. Based on a national representative population-based survey on CKD covering 47,086 adults and high spatial resolution datasets on temperature and land cover data, we found that annual days of exposure to heat waves were associated with increased odds of CKD prevalence. For one day/year increases in HW_975_4d (above 97.5 % of annual maximum temperature and lasting for at least 4 consecutive days), the odds ratio (OR) of CKD was 1.14 (95 %CI: 1.12, 1.15). Meanwhile, stronger associations were observed in regions with lower urbanicity [rural: 1.14 (95 %CI: 1.12, 1.16) vs urban: 1.07 (95 %CI: 1.03, 1.11), Pinteraction < 0.001], lower water body coverage [lower: 1.14 (95 %CI: 1.12, 1.16) vs higher: 1.02 (95 %CI: 0.98, 1.05), Pinteraction < 0.001], and lower impervious area coverage [lower: 1.16 (95 %CI: 1.14, 1.18) vs higher: 1.06 (95 %CI: 1.03, 1.10), Pinteraction = 0.008]. In addition, this study found disparities in modifying effects of water bodies and impervious areas in rural and urban settings. In rural regions, the associations between heat waves and CKD prevalence showed a consistent decreasing trend with increases in both proportions of water bodies and impervious areas (Pinteraction < 0.05). Nevertheless, in urban regions, we observed significant effect modification by water bodies, but not by impervious areas. Our study indicates the need for targeted land planning as part of adapting to the kidney impacts of heat waves, with a focus on urbanization in rural regions, as well as water body construction and utilization in both rural and urban regions.

Acid-catalyzed phenolation of lignin with tea polyphenol: Enhancing uv resistance and oxidation resistance for potential applications

The rapid development of the industry has led to the destruction of the earth's ozone layer, resulting in an increasingly serious problem of excessive ultraviolet radiation. Exploring effective measures to address these problems has become a hot topic. Lignin shows promise in the design and preparation of anti-ultraviolet products due to its inherent properties. However, it is important to investigate way to enhance the reactivity of lignin and determine its application form in related products. In this study, phenolic reactions with tea polyphenols were conducted through acid-catalyzed conversion, utilizing organic solvent lignin as the primary material. The phenolic hydroxyl content of the original lignin increased significantly by 218.8 %, resulting in notable improvements in UV resistance and oxidation resistance for phenolic lignin. Additionally, micro-nanocapsule emulsions were formed using phenolic lignin particles as surfactants through ultrasonic cavitation with small-molecule sunscreens. A bio-based sunscreen was prepared with phenolated lignin micro-nanocapsules as the active ingredient, achieving an SPF 100.2 and demonstrating excellent stability. The sunscreen also exhibited strong antioxidant properties and impermeability, ensuring user safety. This research offers a current solution for improving the application of lignin in sunscreens while also broadening the potential uses of plant-based materials in advanced functional products.

Binding Mode and Molecular Mechanism of the Two-Component Histidine Kinase Bos1 of Botrytis cinerea to Fludioxonil and Iprodione

Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea is among the 10 most serious fungal diseases worldwide. Fludioxonil is widely used to prevent and control gray mold due to its low toxicity and high efficiency; however, resistance caused by long-term use has become increasingly prominent. Therefore, exploring the resistance mechanism of fungicides provides a theoretical basis for delaying the occurrence of diseases and controlling gray mold. In this study, fludioxonil-resistant strains were obtained through indoor drug domestication, and the mutation sites were determined by sequencing. Strains obtained by site-directed mutagenesis were subjected to biological analysis, and the binding modes of fludioxonil and iprodione to Botrytis cinerea Bos1 BcBos1 were predicted by molecular docking. The results showed that F127S, I365S/N, F127S + I365N, and I376M mutations on the Bos1 protein led to a decrease in the binding energy between the drug and BcBos1. The A1259T mutation did not lead to a decrease in the binding energy, which was not the cause of drug resistance. The biological fitness of the fludioxonil- and point mutation-resistant strains decreased, and their growth rate, sporulation rate, and pathogenicity decreased significantly. The glycerol content of the sensitive strains was significantly lower than that of the resistant strains and increased significantly after treatment with 0.1 μg/ml of fludioxonil, whereas that of the resistant strains decreased. The osmotic sensitivity of the resistant strains was significantly lower than that of the sensitive strains. Positive cross-resistance was observed between fludioxonil and iprodione. These results will help to understand the resistance mechanism of fludioxonil in Botrytis cinerea more deeply.

High-Density Dynamic Bonds Cross-Linked Hydrogel with Tissue Adhesion, Highly Efficient Self-Healing Behavior, and NIR Photothermal Antibacterial Ability as Dressing for Wound Repair

Multifunctional hydrogels with tissue adhesion, self-healing behavior, and antibacterial properties have potential in wound healing applications. However, their inefficient self-healing behavior and antibacterial agents can cause long-term cytotoxicity and drug resistance, considerably limiting their clinical use. Herein, we reported a PDA@LA hydrogel constructed by introducing polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA-NPs) into a high-density dynamic bonds cross-linked lipoic acid (LA) hydrogel that was formed by the polymerization of LA. Because of its rich carboxyl groups, the LA hydrogel could adhere firmly to various tissues. Owing to the high-density dynamic bonds, the cut LA hydrogel exhibited highly inefficient self-healing behavior and recovered to its uncut state after self-healing for 10 min. After the introduction of the PDA-NPs, the hydrogel was able to heat up to more than 40 °C to kill approximately 100% of the Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus under near-infrared (NIR) laser, thus resisting wound infections. Because no toxic antibacterial agent was used, the PDA@LA hydrogel caused mild long-term cytotoxicity or drug resistance. Consequently, the adhesive, highly efficient self-healing, and NIR photothermal antibacterial PDA@LA hydrogel exhibits considerable potential for clinical use.

A porcine kidney-derived clonal cell line with clear genetic annotation is highly susceptible to African swine fever virus

African Swine Fever virus (ASFV), the causative agent of African swine fever, is a highly lethal hemorrhagic virus affecting domestic pigs and wild boars. The primary target cells for ASFV infection are porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), which are difficult to obtain and maintain in vitro, and less subjective to genetic editing. To overcome these issues and facilitate ASFV research, we obtained a subclonal cell line PK1-C5 by subcloning LLC-PK1 cells that support stable ASFV proliferation. This consequential cell line exhibited high ASFV infection levels and similar viral growth characteristics to PAMs, while also allowing high-efficiency genomic editing through transfection or lentivirus transduction of Cas9. Taken together, our study provided a valuable tool for research aspects including ASFV-host interactions, pathogenicity, and vaccine development.

Progressive Insights into Metal-Organic Frameworks and Metal-Organic Framework-Membrane Composite Systems for Wastewater Management

The sustainable management of wastewater through recycling and utilization stands as a pressing concern in the trajectory of societal advancement. Prioritizing the elimination of diverse organic contaminants is paramount in wastewater treatment, garnering significant attention from researchers worldwide. Emerging metal-organic framework materials (MOFs), bridging organic and inorganic attributes, have surfaced as novel adsorbents, showcasing pivotal potential in wastewater remediation. Nevertheless, challenges like limited water stability, elevated dissolution rates, and inadequate hydrophobicity persist in the context of wastewater treatment. To enhance the performance of MOFs, they can be modified through chemical or physical methods, and combined with membrane materials as additives to create membrane composite materials. These membrane composites, derived from MOFs, exhibit remarkable characteristics including enhanced porosity, adjustable pore dimensions, superior permeability, optimal conductivity, and robust water stability. Their ability to effectively sequester organic compounds has spurred significant research in this field. This paper introduces methods for enhancing the performance of MOFs and explores their potential applications in water treatment. It delves into the detailed design, synthesis strategies, and fabrication of composite membranes using MOFs. Furthermore, it focuses on the application prospects, challenges, and opportunities associated with MOF composite membranes in water treatment.

Mitochondria-mediated ferroptosis induced by CARD9 ablation prevents MDSCs-dependent antifungal immunity

BACKGROUND

Caspase Recruitment Domain-containing protein 9 (CARD9) expressed in myeloid cells has been demonstrated to play an antifungal immunity role in protecting against disseminated candidiasis. Hereditary CARD9 ablation leads to fatal disseminated candidiasis. However, the myeloid cell types and molecular mechanisms implicated in CARD9 protecting against disseminated candidiasis remain wholly elusive.

METHODS

The role of CARD9 ablation in exacerbating disseminated candidiasis was determined in vivo and in vitro. The molecular mechanism by which CARD9 ablation promotes acute kidney injury in disseminated candidiasis was identified by RNA-sequencing analysis. The expression of mitochondrial proteins and ferroptosis-associated proteins were measured by Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot.

RESULTS

CARD9 ablation resulted in a reduced proportion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and a substantially lower expression of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) in the kidneys, which increased susceptibility to acute kidney injury and renal ferroptosis during disseminated Candida tropicalis (C. tropicalis) infection. Moreover, CARD9-deficient MDSCs were susceptible to ferroptosis upon stimulation with C. tropicalis, which was attributed to augmented mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) caused by reduced SLC7A11 expression. Mechanistically, C-type lectin receptors (CLRs)-mediated recognition of C. tropicalis promoted the expression of SLC7A11 which was transcriptionally manipulated by the Syk-PKCδ-CARD9-FosB signaling axis in MDSCs. FosB enhanced SLC7A11 transcription by binding to the promoter of SLC7A11 in MDSCs stimulated with C. tropicalis. Mitochondrial OXPHOS, which was negatively regulated by SLC7A11, was responsible for inducing ferroptosis of MDSCs upon C. tropicalis stimulation. Finally, pharmacological inhibition of mitochondrial OXPHOS or ferroptosis significantly increased the number of MDSCs in the kidneys to augment host antifungal immunity, thereby attenuating ferroptosis and acute kidney injury exacerbated by CARD9 ablation during disseminated candidiasis.

CONCLUSIONS

Collectively, our findings show that CARD9 ablation enhances mitochondria-mediated ferroptosis in MDSCs, which negatively regulates antifungal immunity. We also identify mitochondria-mediated ferroptosis in MDSCs as a new molecular mechanism of CARD9 ablation-exacerbated acute kidney injury during disseminated candidiasis, thus targeting mitochondria-mediated ferroptosis is a novel therapeutic strategy for acute kidney injury in disseminated candidiasis.

Unified Fuzzy Control of High-Order Nonlinear Systems With Multitype State Constraints

This article presents a unified adaptive fuzzy control approach for high-order nonlinear systems (HONSs) with multitype state constraints. Existing methods always require the upper and lower constraint boundaries are strictly positive and negative functions (or constants), respectively, which is often inconsistent with the actual constraints. In this article, "multitype state constraint" means that the upper and lower constraint boundaries include multiple types, such as both being strictly positive (or negative), sometime be positive or negative, and so on (cases ①-⑥). By designing a unified mapping function (UMF), the multitype state constraints are processed under removal the feasibility conditions (FCs). Furthermore, a technical design makes the proposed method also applicable to unconstrained HONSs without changing the control structure. By means of a fuzzy-logic system (FLS) and fixed-time stability theory (FTST), the proposed algorithm can ensure that the tracking error converges to a zero-centered neighborhood within a fixed time, and the singularity which often appears in the existing fixed-time control (FTC) methods of HONSs is effectively avoided. Simulation results demonstrate the scheme developed.

Oral immunization with recombinant L. lactis expressing GCRV-II VP4 produces protection against grass carp reovirus infection

The hemorrhagic disease causing by grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infection, is associated with major economic losses and significant impact on aquaculture worldwide. VP4 of GCRV is one of the major outer capsid proteins which can induce an immune response in the host. In this study, pNZ8148-VP4/L. lactis was constructed to express recombinant VP4 protein of GCRV, which was confirmed by the Western-Blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Then we performed the oral immunization for rare minnow model and the challenge with GCRV-II. After oral administration, pNZ8148-VP4/L. lactis can continuously reside in the intestinal tract to achieve antigen presentation. The intestinal and spleen samples were collected at different time intervals after immunization, and the expression of immune-related genes was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The results showed that VP4 recombinant L. lactis could induce complete cellular and humoral immune responses in the intestinal mucosal system, and effectively regulate the immunological effect of the spleen. The immunogenicity and the protective efficacy of the oral vaccine was evaluated by determining IgM levels and viral challenge to vaccinated fish, a significant level (P < 0.01) of antigen-specific IgM with GCRV-II neutralizing activity was able to be detected, which provided a effective protection in the challenge experiment. These results indicated that an oral probiotic vaccine with VP4 expression can provide effective protection for grass carp against GCRV-II challenge, suggesting a promising vaccine strategy for fish.

Natural product honokiol exhibits antiviral effects against Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) both in vitro and in vivo

Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) is a formidable pathogen, presenting a grave menace to juvenile largemouth bass. This viral infection frequently leads to epidemic outbreaks, resulting in substantial economic losses within the aquaculture industry. Unfortunately, at present, there are no commercially available vaccines or pharmaceutical treatments to combat this threat. In order to address the urgent need for therapeutic strategy to resist MSRV infection, the antiviral activity of natural product honokiol against MSRV was explored in this study. Firstly, cellular morphology was directly observed in an inverted microscope when treated with honokiol after MSRV infection. The results clarified that honokiol significantly lessened cytopathic effect (CPE) induced by MSRV and protected the integrity of GCO cells. Furthermore, the viral nucleic acid expression (G gene) was detected by reverse transcription real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and the results indicated that honokiol significantly decreased the viral loads of MSRV in a concentration-dependent manner, and honokiol showed a high antiviral activity with IC50 of 2.92 μM. Besides, honokiol significantly decreased the viral titre and suppressed apoptosis caused by MSRV. Mechanistically, honokiol primarily inhibited the initial replication of MSRV and discharge of progeny virus to exert anti-MSRV activity. More importantly, in vivo experiments suggested that honokiol (40 mg/kg) expressed a fine antiviral activity against MSRV when administrated with intraperitoneal injection, which led to a notable 40% improvement in the survival rate among infected largemouth bass. In addition, it also resulted in significant reduction in the viral nucleic acid expression within liver, spleen and kidney at 2, 4 and 6 days following infection. What is more, 100 mg/kg honokiol with oral administration also showed certain antiviral efficacy in MSRV-infected largemouth bass via improving the survival rate by 10.0%, and decreasing significantly the viral nucleic acid expression in liver, spleen and kidney of largemouth bass on day 2. In summary, natural product honokiol is a good candidate to resist MSRV infection and has promising application prospects in aquaculture.

Electrospinning and electrospun polysaccharide-based nanofiber membranes: A review

The electrospinning technology has set off a tide and given rise to the attention of a widespread range of research territories, benefiting from the enhancement of nanofibers which made a spurt of progress. Nanofibers, continuously produced via electrospinning technology, have greater specific surface area and higher porosity and play a non-substitutable key role in many fields. Combined with the degradability and compatibility of the natural structure characteristics of polysaccharides, electrospun polysaccharide nanofiber membranes gradually infiltrate into the life field to help filter air contamination particles and water pollutants, treat wounds, keep food fresh, monitor electronic equipment, etc., thus improving the life quality. Compared with the evaluation of polysaccharide-based nanofiber membranes in a specific field, this paper comprehensively summarized the existing electrospinning technology and focused on the latest research progress about the application of polysaccharide-based nanofiber in different fields, represented by starch, chitosan, and cellulose. Finally, the benefits and defects of electrospun are discussed in brief, and the prospects for broadening the application of polysaccharide nanofiber membranes are presented for the glorious expectation dedicated to the progress of the eras.

Long noncoding RNA LINC00858 aggravates the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma via regulating the miR-425-5p/ABL2 axis

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most fatal cancers with high morbidity and mortality, which severely affects people's lives. Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 858 (LINC00858) was confirmed to promote the progression of colorectal cancer and lung cancer. However, the role of lncRNA LINC00858 is still unknown in ESCC. Herein, the main purpose of research was to explore LINC00858 function and its impact on ESCC cell biological behaviors. RT-qPCR was used to test the expression of LINC00858, miR-425-5p and ABL proto-oncogene 2 (ABL2) in ESCC cells. Functional experiments such as EdU assay, CCK-8 assay, transwell assay and Western blot assay were conducted to investigate the biological behaviors of ESCC cells. Luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay were implemented to determine the binding situation among RNAs. LINC00858 expression was abnormally high in ESCC cells and down-regulation of LINC00858 could restrain the proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT process of ESCC cells. Furthermore, miR-425-5p was proved to be sponged by LINC00858 and was down-regulated in ESCC cells. Besides, we discovered that miR-425-5p could target ABL2. Moreover, knockdown of ABL2 reversed the promoting function of miR-425-5p inhibitor on ESCC progression. LINC00858 aggravated ESCC progression via regulating the miR-425-5p/ABL2 axis.

A nanobody-mediated drug system against largemouth bass virus delivered by bacterial nanocellulose in Micropterus salmoides

Diseases caused by pathogens severely hampered the development of aquaculture, especially largemouth bass virus (LMBV) has caused massive mortality and severe economic losses to the culture of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Considering the environmental hazards and human health, effective and environmentally friendly therapy strategy against LMBV is of vital importance and in pressing need. In the present study, a novel nanobody (NbE4) specific for LMBV was selected from a phage display nanobody library. Immunofluorescence and indirect ELISA showed that NbE4 could recognize LMBV virions and had strong binding capacity, but RT-qPCR evidenced that NBE4 did not render the virus uninfectious. Besides, antiviral drug ribavirin was used to construct a targeted drug system delivered by bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). RT-qPCR revealed that NbE4 could significantly enhance the antiviral activity of ribavirin in vitro and in vivo. The targeted drug delivery system (BNC-Ribavirin-NbE4, BRN) reduced the inflammatory response caused by LMBV infection and improved survival rate (BRN-L, 33.3 %; BRN-M, 46.7 %; BRN-H, 56.7 %)compared with control group (13.3 %), ribavirin group (RBV, 26.7 %) and BNC-ribavirin (BNC-R, 40.0 %), respectively. This research provided an effective antiviral strategy that improved the drug therapeutic effect and thus reduced the dosage.

Impacts of active mobility on individual health mediated by physical activities

Active mobility, encompassing walking and cycling for transportation, is a potential solution to health issues arising from inadequate physical activity in modern society. However, the extent of active mobility's impact on individual physical activity levels, and its association with health as mediated by physical activities, is not fully quantified. This study aims to clarify the direct relationship between active mobility usage and individual health, as well as the indirect relationship mediated by physical activity, with a focus on varying levels of physical activity intensity. Utilizing data from the 2017 U.S. National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), we employed Poisson regression to predict active mobility usage based on socio-demographic and household socio-economic characteristics. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) was then used to investigate the direct and indirect effects of active mobility on individual health, mediated by physical activity. We further segmented individuals according to their intensity of physical activity to examine how such effect differs between different levels of physical activity. The study demonstrates that active mobility usage positively correlates with both the amount and intensity of physical activity. The effect of active mobility on individual health includes a direct positive effect (29% for intensity, 67.7% for amount) and an indirect effect mediated by physical activity (71% for intensity, 32.3% for amount). Notably, the mediation effect of active mobility on health is more substantial in the context of vigorous physical activities compared to light or moderate activities. Our findings reveal a significant positive influence of active mobility on individual health, encompassing both direct and indirect effects mediated by physical activities. These results quantitatively underscore the health benefits of active mobility and suggest the importance of promoting active mobility as a strategy to improve public health.

Amplitude Analysis of the B^{0}→K^{*0}μ^{+}μ^{-} Decay

An amplitude analysis of the B^{0}→K^{*0}μ^{+}μ^{-} decay is presented using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7  fb^{-1} of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment. For the first time, the coefficients associated to short-distance physics effects, sensitive to processes beyond the standard model, are extracted directly from the data through a q^{2}-unbinned amplitude analysis, where q^{2} is the μ^{+}μ^{-} invariant mass squared. Long-distance contributions, which originate from nonfactorizable QCD processes, are systematically investigated, and the most accurate assessment to date of their impact on the physical observables is obtained. The pattern of measured corrections to the short-distance couplings is found to be consistent with previous analyses of b- to s-quark transitions, with the largest discrepancy from the standard model predictions found to be at the level of 1.8 standard deviations. The global significance of the observed differences in the decay is 1.4 standard deviations.

Genome-wide identification of the CYP82 gene family in cucumber and functional characterization of CsCYP82D102 in regulating resistance to powdery mildew

The cytochrome P450 (CYP450) gene family plays a vital role in basic metabolism, hormone signaling, and enhances plant resistance to stress. Among them, the CYP82 gene family is primarily found in dicots, and they are typically activated in response to various specific environmental stresses. Nevertheless, their roles remain considerably obscure, particularly within the context of cucumber. In the present study, 12 CYP82 subfamily genes were identified in the cucumber genome. Bioinformatics analysis included gene structure, conserved motif, cis-acting promoter element, and so on. Subcellular localization predicted that all CYP82 genes were located in the endoplasmic reticulum. The results of cis element analysis showed that CYP82s may significantly affect the response to stress, hormones, and light exposure. Expression patterns of the CYP82 genes were characterized by mining available RNA-seq data followed by qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) analysis. Members of CYP82 genes display specific expression profiles in different tissues, and in response to PM and abiotic stresses in this study, the role of CsCYP82D102, a member of the CYP82 gene family, was investigated. The upregulation of CsCYP82D102 expression in response to powdery mildew (PM) infection and treatment with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) or salicylic acid (SA) was demonstrated. Further research found that transgenic cucumber plants overexpressing CsCYP82D102 display heightened resistance against PM. Wild-type (WT) leaves exhibited average lesion areas of approximately 29.7% at 7 dpi upon powdery mildew inoculation. In contrast, the two independent CsCYP82D102 overexpression lines (OE#1 and OE#3) displayed significantly reduced necrotic areas, with average lesion areas of approximately 13.4% and 5.7%. Additionally, this enhanced resistance is associated with elevated expression of genes related to the SA/MeJA signaling pathway in transgenic cucumber plants. This study provides a theoretical basis for further research on the biological functions of the P450 gene in cucumber plants.

Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) in ICUs: resistance genes, therapeutics, and prevention - a comprehensive review

Intensive care units (ICUs) are specialized environments dedicated to the management of critically ill patients, who are particularly susceptible to drug-resistant bacteria. Among these, carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) pose a significant threat endangering the lives of ICU patients. Carbapenemase production is a key resistance mechanism in CR-GNB, with the transfer of resistance genes contributing to the extensive emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). CR-GNB infections are widespread in ICUs, highlighting an urgent need for prevention and control measures to reduce mortality rates associated with CR-GNB transmission or infection. This review provides an overview of key aspects surrounding CR-GNB within ICUs. We examine the mechanisms of bacterial drug resistance, the resistance genes that frequently occur with CR-GNB infections in ICU, and the therapeutic options against carbapenemase genotypes. Additionally, we highlight crucial preventive measures to impede the transmission and spread of CR-GNB within ICUs, along with reviewing the advances made in the field of clinical predictive modeling research, which hold excellent potential for practical application.

Group III (In/Ga)-V (P/As)-VI (S/Se) Monolayers: A New Class of Auxetic Semiconductors with Highly Anisotropic Electronic/Optical/Mechanical/Thermal Properties

We present a theoretical design of a class of 2D semiconducting materials, namely, group III (In/Ga)-V (P/As)-VI (S/Se) monolayers, whose global-minimum structures are predicted based on the particle swarm optimization method. Electronic structure calculations suggest that all group III-V-VI monolayers exhibit quasi-direct semiconducting characteristics with desirable band gaps ranging from 1.76 to 2.86 eV (HSE06 functional). Moreover, most group III-V-VI monolayers possess highly anisotropic carrier mobilities with large anisotropic ratios (3.4-6 for electrons, 2.2-25 for holes). G0W0+BSE calculations suggest that these monolayers show high optical anisotropy and relatively large exciton binding energies (0.33-0.75 eV), comparable to that (0.5 eV) of MoS2 monolayer. In particular, the GaPS monolayer manifests strikingly anisotropic I-V curves with a large ON/OFF ratio of ∼105 (106 for the GaPS bilayer) and anisotropic lattice thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the GaPS monolayer is predicted to exhibit both in-plane and out-of-plane negative Poisson ratios (NPRs) and prominent anisotropic Young moduli.

Design and Application of New Pyridine-Derived Chiral Ligands in Asymmetric Catalysis

ConspectusThe innovation of chiral ligands has been crucial for the asymmetric synthesis of functional molecules, as demonstrated by several types of widely applied "privileged" ligands. In this context, chiral pyridine-derived ligands, by far some of the oldest and most widely utilized ligands in catalysis, have attracted considerable research interest in the past half-century. However, the development of broadly applicable chiral pyridine units (CPUs) has been plagued by several intertwining challenges, thus delaying advancements in many asymmetric reactions.This Account aims to summarize the recent progress in new CPU-containing ligands, focusing on a rationally designed, modular, and tunable CPU developed in our laboratory. A significant problem thwarting conventional designs is the paradox between broad reactivity and stereoselectivity; that is, while enhanced stereoselectivity may be achieved by introducing chiral elements close to the N atom, the concomitant increase in local steric hindrance often limits catalytic activity and scope. Our newly developed CPU features a rigid [6-5-3] fused-ring framework and a tunable spirocyclic ketal side wall. The well-defined three-dimensional structure minimizes local (inner layer) steric hindrance and tunes the peripheral environment (outer layer) by remote substituents, thus securing reactivity and stereoselectivity. Different chelating ligands were readily assembled using this chiral structural module, with applications in mechanistically diverse transition-metal-catalyzed reactions. Thus, a series of chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligands were successfully employed in the development of a general, efficient, and highly enantioselective nickel-catalyzed intermolecular reductive addition, Ullmann coupling of ortho-chlorinated aryl aldehydes, and carboxylation of benzylic (pseudo)halides with CO2. Notably, these chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligands exhibited superior catalytic activity in the reactions compared to common N-based ligands. In addition, highly enantioselective iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation was developed using a CPU-containing N,B-bidentate ligand. Furthermore, mechanistically challenging, additive-free, and broad-scope transfer hydrogenative direct asymmetric reductive amination was achieved using a half-sandwich iridium catalyst supported by a chiral N,C-bidentate ligand. The new ligands demonstrated excellent performance in securing high catalytic activity and stereoselectivity, which, when combined with experimental and computational mechanistic investigations, supported the "double-layer control" design concept.Considering the broad applications of pyridine-derived ligands, the research progress described herein should inspire the creation of novel chiral catalysts and drive the development of many catalytic asymmetric reactions.

Maslinic acid alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT and NF-κB signaling pathways

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the cause of low back pain (LBP), and recent research has suggested that inflammatory cytokines play a significant role in this process. Maslinic acid (MA), a natural compound found in olive plants ( Olea europaea), has anti-inflammatory properties, but its potential for treating IDD is unclear. The current study aims to investigate the effects of MA on TNFα-induced IDD in vitro and in other in vivo models. Our findings suggest that MA ameliorates the imbalance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and mitigates senescence by upregulating aggrecan and collagen II levels as well as downregulating MMP and ADAMTS levels in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). It can also impede the progression of IDD in rats. We further find that MA significantly affects the PI3K/AKT and NF-κB pathways in TNFα-induced NPCs determined by RNA-seq and experimental verification, while the AKT agonist Sc-79 eliminates these signaling cascades. Furthermore, molecular docking simulation shows that MA directly binds to PI3K. Dysfunction of the PI3K/AKT pathway and ECM metabolism has also been confirmed in clinical specimens of degenerated nucleus pulposus. This study demonstrates that MA may hold promise as a therapeutic agent for alleviating ECM metabolism disorders and senescence to treat IDD.

Organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of Csp2-N atropisomers via formal Csp2-O bond amination

Compared with well-developed construction of Csp2-Csp2 atropisomers, the synthesis of Csp2-N atropisomers remains in its infancy, which is recognized as both appealing and challenging. Herein, we achieved the first organocatalyzed asymmetric synthesis of Csp2-N atropisomers by formal Csp2-O amination. With the aid of a suitable acid, 3-alkynyl-3-hydroxyisoindolinones reacted smoothly with 1-methylnaphthalen-2-ols to afford a wide range of atropisomers by selective formation of the Csp2-N axis. Particularly, both the kinetic (Z)-products and the thermodynamic (E)-products could be selectively formed. Furthermore, the rarely used combination of two chiral Brønsted acid catalysts achieved excellent enantiocontrol, which is intriguing and unusual in organocatalysis. Based on control experiments and DFT calculations, a cascade dehydration/addition/rearrangement process was proposed. More importantly, this work provided a new plat-form for direct atroposelective construction of the chiral Csp2-N axis.

Development of a prognostic model for lung adenocarcinoma polarity-related genes and analysis of immune landscape

Despite the progress made in the management of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the overall prognosis for LUAD individuals remains suboptimal. While the role of cell polarity in tumor invasion and metastasis is well established, its prognostic significance in LUAD is still unknown. Differential analysis was performed on the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-LUAD and normal lung tissue, and candidate genes were identified by intersecting differentially expressed genes with polarity-related genes (PRGs). A prognostic model was constructed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression and LASSO regression. To enhance the robustness of the analysis, an independent prognostic analysis was conducted by incorporating relevant clinical information. The accuracy and sensitivity of the model were validated using survival analysis and ROC curves. Finally, immune landscape, immune therapy, tumor mutation burden, and drug sensitivity analysis were carried out on high- and low-risk patients. Ten prognostic genes were screened to divide LUAD patients into different risk groups. Survival analysis, ROC curves, and univariate/multivariate Cox regression analyses collectively demonstrated the favorable predictive performance of the model, which could be an independent prognostic factor. The nomogram, in conjunction with the calibration curve, demonstrated the model's compelling predictive capacity in prognosticating the overall survival of LUAD individuals. Low-risk LUAD patients exhibited heightened levels of immune cell infiltration, immune scores, and immune checkpoint expression compared to high-risk individuals. So, they may have a greater likelihood of benefiting from immune therapy. The high-risk group demonstrated a remarkably higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) in contrast with the low-risk group. XAV-939, Fulvestrant, and SR16157 may have potential value in the clinical use of LUAD. We revealed the potential linkage between PRGs and LUAD prognosis, and the application of these prognostic factors in risk stratification and prognosis prediction of LUAD patients may be of great significance.

Prospective Cohort Study to Compare Long-Term Lung Cancer-Specific and All-Cause Survival of Clinical Early Stage (T1a-b; ≤20 mm) NSCLC Treated by Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy and Surgery

INTRODUCTION

We aimed to compare outcomes of patients with first primary clinical T1a-bN0M0 NSCLC treated with surgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).

METHODS

We identified patients with first primary clinical T1a-bN0M0 NSCLCs on last pretreatment computed tomography treated by surgery or SBRT in the following two prospective cohorts: International Early Lung Cancer Action Program (I-ELCAP) and Initiative for Early Lung Cancer Research on Treatment (IELCART). Lung cancer-specific survival and all-cause survival after diagnosis were compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Propensity score matching was used to balance baseline demographics and comorbidities and analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression.

RESULTS

Of 1115 patients with NSCLC, 1003 had surgery and 112 had SBRT; 525 in I-ELCAP in 1992 to 2021 and 590 in IELCART in 2016 to 2021. Median follow-up was 57.6 months. Ten-year lung cancer-specific survival was not significantly different: 90% (95% confidence interval: 87%-92%) for surgery versus 88% (95% confidence interval: 77%-99%) for SBRT, p = 0.55. Cox regression revealed no significant difference in lung cancer-specific survival for the combined cohorts (p = 0.48) or separately for I-ELCAP (p = 1.00) and IELCART (p = 1.00). Although 10-year all-cause survival was significantly different (75% versus 45%, p < 0.0001), after propensity score matching, all-cause survival using Cox regression was no longer different for the combined cohorts (p = 0.74) or separately for I-ELCAP (p = 1.00) and IELCART (p = 0.62).

CONCLUSIONS

This first prospectively collected cohort analysis of long-term survival of small, early NSCLCs revealed that lung cancer-specific survival was high for both treatments and not significantly different (p = 0.48) and that all-cause survival after propensity matching was not significantly different (p = 0.74). This supports SBRT as an alternative treatment option for small, early NSCLCs which is especially important with their increasing frequency owing to low-dose computed tomography screening. Furthermore, treatment decisions are influenced by many different factors and should be personalized on the basis of the unique circumstances of each patient.

Association between electrocardiographic abnormalities and flood exposure among middle-aged and elderly people: A national longitudinal study in China

BACKGROUND

Flooding has become more frequent and intensive due to climate change, particularly in Asian countries. However, evidence on the long-term health effects of floods from large-scale studies on the vulnerable aged population in China is insufficient. This study analyzed the long-term effects of exposure to flood on electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities, a commonly used indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening, in middle-aged and elderly people.

METHOD

We evaluated the Chinese National Stroke Screening Survey data of 80,711 follow-up records from 38,375 participants aged > 40 years with two or more visits between 2013 and 2018 in this longitudinal study. Flood exposure was assessed as the presence of a satellite-detected flooded area within 500 m of the residence within 5 years before the survey date. The association between ECG abnormalities and flood exposure was analyzed using a random effects model with multiple adjustments. As age is an important CVD risk factor, a varying-coefficient function was derived to estimate the nonlinear modifying effect of age on the association between ECG abnormalities and flood exposure. The strata-specific associations between ECG abnormalities and flood exposure were applied to characterize vulnerability to flood.

RESULTS

The fully adjusted model suggested that flood exposure was associated with an increased risk for ECG abnormalities among the middle-aged and elderly population (odds ratio [OR] 1.74, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.49, 2.03). The ORs of flood exposure for ECG suggesting atrial fibrillation, ST depression, and left ventricular hypertrophy were 1.85 (95 % CI 1.16, 2.94), 6.92 (95 % CI 5.23, 9.16), and 1.55 (95 % CI 0.66, 3.65), respectively. These associations were generally robust in various subpopulations, while a sublinear curve for the negative modifying effect of age was observed on the population vulnerability to flood.

CONCLUSION

Flood exposure was associated with an increased long-term risk for an ECG abnormality. The need for effective measures to mitigate vulnerability to flood is not negligible in China.

Compensatory growth of Microcystis aeruginosa after copper stress and the characteristics of algal extracellular organic matter (EOM)

Cyanobacterial blooms can impair drinking water quality due to the concomitant extracellular organic matter (EOM). As copper is often applied as an algicide, cyanobacteria may experience copper stress. However, it remains uncertain whether algal growth compensation occurs and how EOM characteristics change in response to copper stress. This study investigated the changes in growth conditions, photosynthetic capacity, and EOM characteristics of M. aeruginosa under copper stress. In all copper treatments, M. aeruginosa experienced a growth inhibition stage followed by a growth compensation stage. Notably, although chlorophyll-a fluorescence parameters dropped to zero immediately following high-intensity copper stress (0.2 and 0.5 mg/L), they later recovered to levels exceeding those of the control, indicating that photosystem II was not destroyed by copper stress. Copper stress influenced the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content, polysaccharides, proteins, excitation-emission matrix spectra, hydrophobicity, and molecular weight (MW) distribution of EOM, with the effects varying based on stress intensity and growth stage. Principal component analysis revealed a correlation between the chlorophyll-a fluorescence parameters and EOM characteristics. These results imply that copper may not be an ideal algicide. Further research is needed to explore the dynamic response of EOM characteristics to environmental stress.

Chemo-Selective Single-Cell Metabolomics Reveals the Spatiotemporal Behavior of Exogenous Pollutants During Xenopus Laevis Embryogenesis

In-depth profiling of embryogenesis-associated endogenous and exogenous metabolic changes can reveal potential bio-effects resulting from human-made chemicals and underlying mechanisms. Due to the lack of potent tools for monitoring spatiotemporal distribution and bio-transformation behavior of dynamic metabolites at single-cell resolution, however, how and to what extent environmental chemicals may influence or interfere embryogenesis largely remain unclear. Herein, a zero-sample-loss micro-biopsy-based mass spectrometric platform is presented for quantitative, chemo-selective, high-coverage, and minimal-destructive profiling of development-associated cis-diol metabolites, which are critical for signal transduction and epigenome regulation, at both cellular level and tissue level of Xenopus laevis. Using this platform, three extraordinary findings that are otherwise hard to achieve are revealed: 1) there are characteristically different cis-diol metabolic signatures among oocytes, anterior and posterior part of tailbud-stage embryos; 2) halogenated cis-diols heavily accumulate at the posterior part of tailbud-stage embryos of Xenopus laevis; 3) dimethachlon, a kind of exogenous fungicide that is widely used as pesticide, may be bio-transformed and accumulated in vertebrate animals in environment. Thus, this study opens a new avenue to simultaneously monitoring intercellular and intraembryonic heterogeneity of endogenous and exogenous metabolites, providing new insights into metabolic remolding during embryogenesis and putting a warning on potential environmental risk.

YBX-1 alleviates sepsis-stimulated lung epithelial cell injury

OBJECTIVE

To explore the role of Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX-1) in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated inflammation and oxidative stress of BEAS-2B cell line and clarify the underlying mechanism.

METHODS

LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B cells were used as a cell model of sepsis-stimulated acute lung injury (ALI). Immunoblot and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays were used to detect the expression of YBX-1 in LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B cells. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide, TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling, and immunoblot assays were conducted to determine the effects of YBX-1 on cell survival. JC-1 staining and adenosine triphosphate production were used to detect the effects of YBX-1 on mitochondrial function. Immunostaining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent serologic assay were performed to examine the effects of YBX-1 on the inflammation and oxidative stress of cells. Immunoblot assay was conducted to confirm the mechanism.

RESULTS

YBX-1 was lowly expressed in LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B cells and enhanced the survival of LPS-stimulated lung epithelial cells. In addition, YBX-1 improved mitochondrial function of LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B cells. YBX-1 inhibited the inflammation and oxidative stress of LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B cells. Mechanically, YBX-1 inhibited mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) axis, thereby alleviating sepsis-stimulated ALI.

CONCLUSION

YBX-1 alleviated inflammation and oxidative stress of LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B cells via MAPK axis.

Predictive Measurement for Windlass Change in Length and Selected Treatment Outcomes in Chronic Plantar Fasciitis

Approximately 10% of patients with plantar fasciitis experience persistent and often severe symptoms, though little is known about its etiology. The goal of this study was to employ an objective, simple, and economical approach to measure the change in length of the windlass and assess the efficiency of a specified therapy protocol applied in this study over a one-month period. Age, weight, normal foot type, and gender were employed as matching factors in a matched design. Fifty individuals diagnosed with unilateral plantar fasciitis and an equal number of healthy volunteers all fulfilled the inclusion criteria and took part in this research. Pain assessment utilized a visual analogue scale and the pain subscale of the foot function index, while a valid goniometric method was employed to evaluate weight-bearing windlass, dorsiflexion and plantar flexion ranges of motion. Additionally, foot plantar pressure (both static and dynamic measures) and tape measurement of windlass change in length were assessed. The assessment was completed by all patients before and after their treatment program. Normal subjects were evaluated for control. Treatment methods encompassed ultrasonic therapy, application of an electrical heating pad, utilization of a night splint, engagement in stretching activities for the plantar aponeurosis and Achilles tendon, as well as both extrinsic and intrinsic strengthening exercises. After one month, the patients were reassessed and compared to control volunteers. In those suffering from plantar fasciitis, a substantial link was found between clinical measurements (tape measurement, windlass range of motion) and foot plantar pressure, indicating improvement. The chosen treatment protocol was effective in 96% of patients. For windlass length change, the measurement technique was found to be valid and objective. The chosen therapy procedure was successful in treating persistent plantar fasciitis in patients.

Effects of Solitaire AB stent thrombectomy with tirofiban and butylphthalide on neurological function and inflammatory factors in acute cerebral infarction patients

BACKGROUND

Acute cerebral infarction profoundly affects patients' neurological function and quality of life. This study explores the impact of Solitaire AB stent thrombectomy, combined with tirofiban and butylphthalide, on neurological function and inflammatory factors in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

METHODS

Seventy-three eligible patients treated between 2021 and 2023 were divided into a control group (Solitaire AB stent thrombectomy) and a treatment group (Solitaire AB stent thrombectomy with tirofiban and butylphthalide). Postoperative neurological function scores and inflammatory factor levels were analyzed.

RESULTS

The treatment group demonstrated a higher clinical effective rate, lower National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores at one day and seven days and higher Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores post-treatment. Inflammatory factor levels (Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE), S100-β, TNF-α and IL-6) were lower in the treatment group. No significant differences in adverse outcomes were observed.

CONCLUSION

Solitaire AB stent thrombectomy with tirofiban and butylphthalide shows superior efficacy, improving neurological function and inflammatory factors without increasing adverse outcomes. This offers valuable insights for clinical treatment of acute cerebral infarction.

Hygrothermal stress increases malignant arrhythmias susceptibility by inhibiting the LKB1-AMPK-Cx43 pathway

High mortality due to hygrothermal stress during heat waves is mostly linked to cardiovascular malfunction, the most serious of which are malignant arrhythmias. However, the mechanism associated with hygrothermal stress leading to malignant arrhythmias remains unclear. The energy metabolism regulated by liver kinase B1 (LKB1) and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the electrical signaling based on gap junction protein, connexin43 (Cx43), plays important roles in the development of cardiac arrhythmias. In order to investigate whether hygrothermal stress induces arrhythmias via the LKB1-AMPK-Cx43 pathway, Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to high temperature and humidity for constructing the hygrothermal stress model. A final choice of 40 °C and 85% humidity was made by pre-exploration based on different gradient environmental conditions with reference to arrhythmia event-inducing stability and risk of sudden death. Then, the incidence of arrhythmic events, as well as the expression, phosphorylation at Ser368, and distribution of Cx43 in the myocardium, were examined. Meanwhile, the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase activator, Acadesine, was also administered to investigate the role played by AMPK in the process. Our results showed that hygrothermal stress induced malignant arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and severe atrioventricular block. Besides, hygrothermal stress decreased the phosphorylation of Cx43 at Ser368, induced proarrhythmic redistribution of Cx43 from polar to lateral sides of the cardiomyocytes, and also caused LKB1 and phosphorylated-AMPK expression to be less abundant. While, pretreatment with Acadesine significantly actived the LKB1-AMPK-Cx43 pathway and thus ameliorated malignant arrhythmias, indicating that the hygrothermal stress-induced arrhythmias is associated with the redistribution of gap junctions in cardiomyocytes and the organism's energy metabolism.

Ice-Templated Synthesis of Atomic Cluster Cocatalyst with Regulable Coordination Number for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Supported metal catalysts have been exploited in various applications. Among them, cocatalyst supported on photocatalyst is essential for activation of photocatalysis. However, cocatalyst decoration in a controllable fashion to promote intrinsic activity remains challenging. Herein, a versatile method is developed for cocatalyst synthesis using an ice-templating (ICT) strategy, resulting in size control from single-atom (SA), and atomic clusters (AC) to nanoparticles (NP). Importantly, the coordination numbers (CN) of decorated AC cocatalysts are highly controllable, and this ICT method applies to various metals and photocatalytic substrates. Taking narrow-band gap Ga-doped La5 Ti2 Cu0.9 Ag0.1 O7 S5 (LTCA) photocatalyst as an example, supported Ru AC/LTCA catalysts with regulable Ru CNs have been prepared, delivering significantly enhanced activities compared to Ru SA and Ru NPs supported on LTCA. Specifically, Ru(CN = 3.4) AC/LTCA with an average CN of Ru─Ru bond measured to be ≈3.4 exhibits excellent photocatalytic H2 evolution rate (578 µmol h-1 ) under visible light irradiation. Density functional theory calculation reveals that the modeled Ru(CN = 3) atomic cluster cocatalyst possesses favorable electronic properties and available active sites for the H2 evolution reaction.

Beta-Cell Tipe1 Orchestrates Insulin Secretion and Cell Proliferation by Promoting Gαs/cAMP Signaling via USP5

Inadequate β-cell mass and insulin secretion are essential for the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). TNF-α-induced protein 8-like 1 (Tipe1) plays a crucial role in multiple diseases, however, a specific role in T2D pathogenesis remains largely unexplored. Herein, Tipe1 as a key regulator in T2D, contributing to the maintenance of β cell homeostasis is identified. The results show that the β-cell-specific knockout of Tipe1 (termed Ins2-Tipe1BKO) aggravated diabetic phenotypes in db/db mice or in mice with high-fat diet-induced diabetes. Notably, Tipe1 improves β cell mass and function, a process that depends on Gαs, the α subunit of the G-stimulating protein. Mechanistically, Tipe1 inhibited the K48-linked ubiquitination degradation of Gαs by recruiting the deubiquitinase USP5. Consequently, Gαs or cAMP agonists almost completely restored the dysfunction of β cells observed in Ins2-Tipe1BKO mice. The findings characterize Tipe1 as a regulator of β cell function through the Gαs/cAMP pathway, suggesting that Tipe1 may emerge as a novel target for T2D intervention.
