A novel Bi 2 MoO 6 (BMO) modified g-C 3 N 4 heterostructure composite photocatalyst (g-C 3 N 4 /BMO) was prepared by hydrothermal method . The orthorhombic crystal phase of the material was studied by the X-ray diffraction assay (XRD). The microscopic morphology of the material was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), indicating a heterojunction structure of the composite. The electrons and holes separation was evaluated by photo-luminescence (PL) and photocurrent measurements. The removal rate of O-Nitrophenol was as high as 97.3% over the catalyst with the optimal ratio of 1: 0.09 (BMO:g-C 3 N 4 ) in 180 min. COD removal percentage of actual pharmaceutical wastewater was as high as 71.40%. The active species in the photocatalytic system were studied, indicating superoxide radicals ( · O 2 - ) and holes (h + ) as the main active species.

Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) leads to persistent tissue damage, antibiotic-resistant infections, and neurogenic inflammation, greatly impairing patients' quality of life. Current therapies fail to simultaneously eliminate resistant bacterial biofilms, neutralize alkaline conditions, and break the cycle of ammonia (NH 3 ) regeneration. Here, a piezoelectric gas therapy strategy based on platinum-decorated bismuth molybdate load in gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel (Pt@BMO-Gel) is introduced. Under ultrasound excitation, Pt@BMO generates high piezoelectric potential to improve charge separation, selectively adsorbs NH 3 on BMO (001) crystal facets, efficiently degrades NH 3 to normalize pH, and enables sustained release of H 2 and NO for dual antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Mechanistic insights from theoretical calculations show that the Pt (111) and BMO (001) surfaces lower energy barriers for H 2 formation and N─H bond cleavage, conducive to the generation of NO and H 2 . Transcriptomic profiling reveals downregulation of key nitrogen metabolism genes (arcC/hutH) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and disruption of the (p)ppGpp-mediated stringent response, effectively eradicating bacterial persistence via metabolic reprogramming. This study establishes Pt@BMO as an efficient piezoelectric catalyst for wound therapy, presenting a novel approach in medicine that transforms harmful NH 3 into therapeutic H 2 and NO, offering a promising treatment paradigm for infected wounds, such as incontinence-associated dermatitis.

The precise increase and decrease of hormone ecdysone are critical for accurate development in insects. Most previous works focus on transcriptional activation of ecdysone production; however, little is known about the mechanism of switching off ecdysone biosynthesis after ecdysis. Here, we showed that the precursor microRNA-14 (pre-miR-14) encodes two mature miRNAs in silkworm; both of these two mature miRNAs regulate various genes in the ecdysone-signalling pathway. Bmo-miR-14-5p targets on nine genes whereas Bmo-miR-14-3p targets on two genes in the same pathway. These two mature miRNAs increased immediately after the ecdysis, efficiently suppressing the 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) biosynthesis, the upstream regulation, and the downstream response genes. Knocking down either of two mature miRNAs or both of them delays moult development, impairing development synchrony in antagomir-treated groups. In addition, overexpressing Bmo-miR-14-5p but not Bmo-miR-14-3p significantly affected the 20E titer and increased the moulting time variation, suggesting that Bmo-miR-14-5p, though it is less abundant, has more potent effects in development regulation than Bmo-miR-14-3p. In summary, we present evidence that a pre-miRNA encodes two mature miRNAs targeting on the same pathway, which significantly improves miRNA regulation efficiencies to programmatically switch off ecdysone biosynthesis.

For the purpose of further improve the efficiency of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction and realize cascade utilization of the full solar spectrum, Bi 2 MoO 6 quantum dots were in situ deposited on the surface of carbonized pomelo peel (CPP) to form Bi 2 MoO 6 @CPP 0D/3D heterojunction catalyst. With a diameter of less than 10 nm, the quantum-limited field effects confirm the successful construction of Bi 2 MoO 6 quantum dot. The band structure of Bi 2 MoO 6 @CPP 0D/3D is beneficial heterojunction , which is able to utilize not only the UV–Vis band to generate photogenerated carriers that reduce CO 2 to CO mainly, but also the IR band of the solar spectrum to increase the temperature of photothermal catalytic reaction. The experiment indicated that the photogenerated electrons generated by Bi 2 MoO 6 @CPP 0D/3D heterojunction catalysts flowed through the interface C-O-Bi bridge and migrated to the surface of CPP, forming an electron interface. The interface C-O-Bi electron bridge enhanced the separation ability of photogenerated carriers, thereby increasing the CO yield to 50.77 μmol/(g·h). Further experiment showed that the oxygen-containing groups’ concentration of CPP were ameliorated by thermal activation and acid-base activation, which increased the concentration of interface C-O-Bi electron bridge between Bi 2 MoO 6 and CPP, finally promoting the CO yield to 66.94 μmol/(g·h), which is 12.3 times greater than that of bulk Bi 2 MoO 6 .

The self-assembled Bi-based metal–organic framework microspheres (Bi-MOF-M) by nanorods were successfully constructed by the glycol-assisted solvothermal method . Using Bi-MOF-M as a homologous template, a petal-like Bi 2 MoO 6 (BMO) layer was grown in situ on its surface to facilely construct a chemically bonded heterojunction interface, realizing a micro/nano hierarchical flower spherical-like Bi-MOF-M/BMO heterojunction composite photocatalyst . The as-prepared series of Bi-MOF-M/BMO- x catalysts show higher visible light catalytic performance for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) degradation. Among them, Bi-MOF-M/BMO-0.3 has the optimal catalytic activity, and the degradation efficiency can reach 93.6% within 60 min of light irradiation with superior mineralization ability and structural stability , and the degradation kinetic constant is 6.12 times that of Bi-MOF-M and 5.69 times that of BMO, respectively. The homologously grown Bi-MOF-M/BMO chemically bonded heterojunction not only effectively broadens the spectral absorption range and enhances the absorption intensity but also promotes the efficient separation of photogenerated carriers through forming a favorable interfacial electric field and well-matched energy band alignment. A reasonable mechanism for the visible light degradation of TC by the Bi-MOF-M/BMO composite catalyst with h + and 1 O 2 as the main reactive species is proposed. The micro/nano hierarchical structure of the Bi-MOF/BMO catalyst allows it to exhibit the easy recovery advantage of micron-scale materials while maintaining the high catalytic activity of the primary nano-components.

The current feasibility of nanocatalysts in clinical anti-infection therapy, especially for drug-resistant bacteria infection is extremely restrained because of the insufficient reactive oxygen generation. Herein, a novel Ag/Bi 2 MoO 6 (Ag/BMO) nanozyme optimized by charge separation engineering with photoactivated sustainable peroxidase-mimicking activities and NIR-II photodynamic performance was synthesized by solvothermal reaction and photoreduction. The Ag/BMO nanozyme held satisfactory bactericidal performance against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (~99.9%). The excellent antibacterial performance of Ag/BMO NPs was ascribed to the corporation of peroxidase-like activity, NIR-II photodynamic behavior, and acidity-enhanced release of Ag + . As revealed by theoretical calculations, the introduction of Ag to BMO made it easier to separate photo-triggered electron-hole pairs for ROS production. And the conduction and valence band potentials of Ag/BMO NPs were favorable for the reduction of O 2 to ·O 2 − . Under 1064 nm laser irradiation, the electron transfer to BMO was beneficial to the reversible change of Mo 5+ /Mo 6+ , further improving the peroxidase-like catalytic activity and NIR-II photodynamic performance based on the Russell mechanism. In vivo, the Ag/BMO NPs exhibited promising therapeutic effects towards MRSA-infected wounds. This study enriches the nanozyme research and proves that nanozymes can be rationally optimized by charge separation engineering strategy.

Antimony(Sb(III)) contamination in wastewater has raised global concerns due to its high toxicity. The efficiency and mechanisms of Sb(III) adsorptive removal from wastewater with environmentally-friendly biogenic Mn oxide (BMO) materials as adsorbent were investigated, based on kinetic experiments and multispectroscopic analyses. Kinetic experiments showed that after 300 min of reaction, 97.79–100% of Sb(III) and 85.60–92.92% of total Sb were removed, indicating that BMO can quickly and effectively oxidize Sb(III) and sequester Sb(V) from water. The bacterial activity in BMO did not significantly affect Sb(III) removal, but a decrease in the release of Mn(II) into solution may provide new reactive sites for the re-oxidation of Sb(III). X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) high-resolution analysis suggested that Sb(V) was the only speciation remaining in the solid phase after the reaction of Sb(III) with BMO. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results further showed that the fast oxidation of Sb(III) by BMO led to the production of Mn(II) antimonate (Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 ) precipitates. Successive extraction experiments confirmed that residual fraction (67.49–83.62%) and Mn oxide bound fraction (13.18–29.72%) were the dominant fractions of Sb(III) after 300 min of reaction, which were relatively stable and had low leaching risks. These findings indicated that BMO performed well in removing Sb(III) from wastewater.

The RNA interference pathway mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs) is one of the methods to defend against viruses in insects. Recent studies showed that miRNAs participate in viral infection by binding to target genes to regulate their expression. Here, we found that the Bombyx mori miRNA, miR-6498-5p was down-regulated, whereas its predicted target gene pyridoxal phosphate phosphatase PHOSPHO2 ( BmPLPP2 ) was up-regulated upon Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that miR-6498-5p targets BmPLPP2 and suppresses its expression. Furthermore, we found miR-6498-5p inhibits BmNPV genomic DNA (gDNA) replication, whereas BmPLPP2 promotes BmNPV gDNA replication. As a pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) phosphatase (PLPP), the overexpression of BmPLPP2 results in a reduction of PLP content, whereas the knockdown of BmPLPP2 leads to an increase in PLP content. In addition, exogenous PLP suppresses the replication of BmNPV gDNA; in contrast, the PLP inhibitor 4-deoxypyridoxine facilitates BmNPV gDNA replication. Taken together, we concluded that miR-6498-5p has a potential anti-BmNPV role by down-regulating BmPLPP2 to modulate PLP content, but BmNPV induces miR-6498-5p down-regulation to promote its proliferation. Our findings provide valuable insights into the role of host miRNA in B. mori –BmNPV interaction. Furthermore, the identification of the antiviral molecule PLP offers a novel perspective on strategies for preventing and managing viral infection in sericulture.

In this study, a photoelectrocatalytic treatment technology based on stabilized supported photoelectrodes (NiF/FCN/BMO) constructed from Z -scheme Fe-g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 2 MoO 6 (Fe 3 CN/BMO-3) photocatalysts and nickel foam (NiF) is proposed for the treatment of difficult-to-degrade waste leachate. Efficient degradation of waste leachate was achieved through the synergistic action of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. The photoelectrocatalytic process significantly promoted the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and accelerated the migration rate of photogenerated carriers in the presence of an applied electric field. Three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy (3D EEMs) was used to analyze the changes in fluorescence intensity of the difficult-to-degrade substances during the degradation process, confirming that humic acid-like substances were effectively removed. Meanwhile, the results of UV–vis spectroscopy showed that the content of UV-absorbing groups, such as conjugated unsaturated bonds and aromatic structures, was significantly reduced in the waste leachate. Further, two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) was utilized to deeply explore the dynamic changes of substances during the degradation process. The economic performance evaluation showed that the final cost of this photoelectrocatalytic technology for the degradation of waste leachate was 0.40 USD/m 3 , which has significant economic benefits. This study aims to develop a biological pretreatment process that converts recalcitrant organic matter into biodegradable small molecules, providing a new approach for the graded treatment of highly stable organic wastewater
