An efficient reaction sintering process is engaged to synthesize a series of non-stoichiometric Li 2(1+ x ) Mg 3 TiO 6 ( x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) microwave dielectric ceramics. The single phase of Li 2 Mg 3 TiO 6 with rock-salt structure is accurately recognized by XRD. Pores left on the surface and inside the sample can be clearly observed from SEM pictures. Excessive Li + affects the local charge distribution, which influences the response of the dielectric material to the electric field. The pores are not the same medium as the matrix material, and the signal is refracted and scattered when it passes through the pores. Refractions and scatterings increase the signal transmission distance and also increase the transmission loss. These residual Li + and pores eventually affect the dielectric properties as well. Finally, at x = 0.02 and a sintering temperature of 1260 °C, the ceramic samples showed good dielectric properties: ε r = 10.983, Q×f = 107,367 GHz and τ f = − 24.2 ppm/°C.

Hierarchical titanium silicalite-1 (HTS-1) zeolites are an important class of catalytic materials due to their enhanced mass transfer and improved catalytic performance. In this study, HTS-1 zeolites have been successfully prepared by the hydrothermal crystallization of carbon-silica-titania (CST) composites. Compared with the direct carbonization method, the mild carbonization of SiO2-TiO2/Tween 40 xerogel in the presence of sulfuric acid can effectively improve both the content and mesoporous structure of carbon material in the CST composites, which enables carbon materials to better play the role of a mesoporous template during the crystallization process. The resultant zeolite has both ordered micropores and interconnected mesopores and macropores, which are similar to the skeleton of the carbon template trapped in the TS–1 crystals. Moreover, the HTS–1 zeolite displays outstanding catalytic performance in oxidative desulfurization of bulky sulfur compounds.

The selective oxidation of alkanes is challenging due to the inertness of C–H bonds and the tendency for overoxidation to COx. Metal-zeolite catalysts offer a promising solution by spatially decoupling oxygen and C–H bond activation on distinct active sites. This study introduces a strategy using surface hydrophobic modification of titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) zeolites to achieve high selectivity in propane oxidation to acetone. Hydrophobic organosilanes with methyl groups were applied via a one-step co-condensation process, followed by Au nanoparticle immobilization. The hydrophobic groups prolong the residence time of the intermediate isopropanol on the catalyst surface, enhancing its conversion to acetone while stabilizing H 2 O 2 to prevent excessive oxidation of carbon-containing species into CO 2 during the process. The modified TS-1 demonstrated excellent thermal stability and selectivity, particularly under extreme hydrogen-to-oxygen ratios conditions. The alkylated Au/TS-1 catalysts significantly improved acetone production, providing a new pathway for selective alkane oxidation.

ABSTRACT Ferroptosis has been recognized as a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer due to its unique mechanism of action. However, the upregulation of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) in ovarian cancer leads to resistance to ferroptotic therapy. Zinc ion (Zn 2+ ) serves as the cofactor of SCD1. It was hypothesized that selective deprivation of Zn 2+ from SCD1 could sensitize ferroptotic ovarian cancer therapy. Here, we report a hypoxia-responsive polymer micelle for enhanced ferroptosis of ovarian cancer cells. An SCD1 inhibitor, PluriSIn 1 (Plu), and a ferroptosis inducer, Auranofin (Aur), were co-encapsulated in nitroimidazole-bearing micelles. Under the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, the conversion of nitroimidazole to aminoimidazole triggered the cargo release and induced the depletion of antioxidant molecules (e.g., glutathione, thioredoxin, and NADPH). Meanwhile, because of the strong coordination between aminoimidazole and Zn 2+ compared to that of histidine and Zn 2+ , such conversion can deprive the metal cofactor of SCD1, hence sensitizing the action of Plu and Aur. The proof-of-concept was demonstrated in cell and animal models with minimal systemic toxicity. The current work integrates ferroptosis induction with SCD1 inhibition in a hypoxia-responsive vehicle, offering a promising strategy for addressing the ferroptosis resistance and opening novel avenues for managing difficult-to-treat ovarian cancer.

Plants release a variety of defensive volatiles in response to biotic stress. The present study examined interactions between Colletotrichum fructicola and the defense volatiles induced by this fungal species in the tea cultivar “Qiancha No. 1”. Analysis of the volatiles emitted from C. fructicola-infected leaves of “Qiancha No. 1” revealed that four volatiles showed a relative content increase of more than 2%. Fungicidal activity assays demonstrated that decanal exhibited the strongest antifungal activity among the four volatiles. Further physiological experiments demonstrated that the antifungal mechanism of decanal was associated with disruption of the cell wall and the membrane. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the genes encoding Chitinase 1, chitin synthase 1, and endochitinase42 were identified as potential targets that may be involved in cell wall degradation by decanal. Additionally, genes encoding cytochrome P450-DIT2 and multidrug resistance protein fer6 were identified as potential targets that may be associated with membrane damage. This study is the first to demonstrate that decanal acts as a direct defense volatile in the interaction between C. fructicola and “Qiancha No. 1,” highlighting its potential as an effective antifungal agent.

The random flap is one of the commonly used techniques for tissue defect repair in surgery and orthopaedics, however the risk of ischaemic necrosis at the distal end of the flap limits its size and clinical application. Metformin (Met) is a first-line medication in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, with additional effects such as anti-tumor, anti-aging, and neuroprotective properties. In this study, we aimed to investigate the biological effects and potential mechanisms of Met in improving the survival of random skin flaps. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats and 12 male C57BL/6J mice underwent McFarlane flap surgery and divided into control (Ctrl) and Met groups (100 mg/kg). The survival rate of the flap were evaluated on day 7. Angiography, Laser doppler blood flow imaging, and H&E staining were used to assess blood flow supply and the levels of microvascular density. Then, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured by test kits. Immunohistochemistry analysis was conducted to evaluate the expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA), Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) and CD31. Rats and mice in the Met group exhibited higher flap survival rate, microcirculatory flow, and higher expression levels of VEGFA and VE-cadherin compared with the Ctrl group. In addition, the level of oxidative stress was significantly lower in the met group. And then we demonstrated that the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with Met can alleviate tert -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-stimulated cellular dysfunction and oxidative stress injury. Mechanistically, Met markedly stimulated the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation. Silencing of Nrf2 partially abolished the antioxidant and therapeutic effects of Met. In summary, our data have confirmed that Met has a positive effect on flap survival and reduces necrosis. The mechanism of action involves the regulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway to combat oxidative stress and reduce damage.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, primarily due to oxidative stress-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and adverse cardiac remodeling. OL-FS13, a neuroprotective peptide derived from Odorrana livida, has previously shown anti-apoptotic effects in cerebral ischemia models. However, its role in myocardial protection remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of OL-FS13 in both in vitro and in vivo models of MI. Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was used to induce oxidative stress in primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, while permanent ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery was employed to establish a murine MI model. OL-FS13 treatment significantly attenuated cardiomyocyte apoptosis, reduced ROS accumulation, improved left ventricular function, and decreased infarct size. Mechanistically, OL-FS13 activated the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, restoring antioxidant protein levels and suppressing oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. Pharmacological inhibition of Nrf2 with ML385 abrogated the antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects of OL-FS13 both in vitro and in vivo, confirming the central role of this pathway. These findings demonstrate that OL-FS13 exerts potent cardioprotective effects via Nrf2/HO-1 pathway activation and ROS suppression, suggesting its potential as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of myocardial infarction.

Metabolic competition and accumulation of metabolic byproducts in the tumor microenvironment (TME) severely impair the antitumor functions of T cells, leading to suboptimal outcomes in cancer immunotherapy. To address these challenges, we developed an ultrasound-visualized methionine partitioning nano-modulator utilizing erythrocyte membrane-hybridized liposomes loaded with the glycolysis inhibitor lonidamine (LND) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) against methionine transporter solute carrier family 43, member 2 (SLC43A2). By downregulating SLC43A2 expression to reduce methionine uptake by tumor cells and suppressing tumor glycolysis to alleviate the acidic TME, the nano-modulator enhances methionine availability for T cells and improves T cell activity. Moreover, the oxygen-enriched perfluorohexane (PFH-O 2 ) loaded in the core of the nano-modulator alleviates tumor hypoxic, further reducing the glycolysis rate of tumor cells. Furthermore, ultrasound-triggered liquid-gas phase transitions enable real-time ultrasound contrast imaging for precise tumor visualization, while leveraging the ultrasonic cavitation effect to enhance drug penetration and release at the tumor site. In summary, this ultrasound-visualized methionine partitioning nano-modulator effectively reshapes tumor metabolism and immunosuppressive TME under ultrasound guidance, thereby significantly improving the efficacy of tumor immunotherapy. These findings demonstrate a promising strategy for enhancing immunotherapy outcomes through metabolic modulation and microenvironment regulation.

Background: Areca palm velarivirus 1 (APV1), the causal agent of betel palm yellow leaf disease (YLD), has caused significant yield losses and decreased product quality of betel nuts, posing a serious economic threat to local farmers. There is an urgent need for a convenient and reliable method for the rapid detection and surveillance of APV1.Methods: The Capsid protein (CP) of APV1 was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified as antigen to immunize BALB/c mice. Two specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), APV1CP-1 and APV1CP-10, were generated through the hybridoma technique. APV1CP-1 was conjugated with colloidal gold served as detection reagent, while APV1CP-10 was coated onto a porous nitrocellulose membrane to act as the detection line. Goat anti-mouse IgG was used as the control line. These components were then assembled into a colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip (CGICS) for effective detection of APV1.Results: The MAbs APV1CP-1 and APV1CP-10 were successfully obtained with titers exceeding 1:102,400. Colloidal gold particles used in the assay had an approximate diameter of 30–40 nm, and exhibited a surface plasmon resonance peak around 530 nm. The CGICS allowed for the detection of APV1 by applying infected sap to the test strip, with results visible within 5–10 min. The test showed no cross-reactivity with other viruses tested, and the visual detection limit for APV1 was established at a 100-fold dilutions of APV1-infected leaf samples.Conclusion: The monoclonal antibody-based colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip developed in this study demonstrates significant convenience, rapidity, and reliability for APV1 detection. These advancements are anticipated to facilitate rapid diagnosis and surveillance of APV1 in field settings.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist-based therapeutics for type 2 diabetes mellitus have attracted worldwide attention. However, there are challenges in the development of small molecule GLP-1R agonists owing to the complexity of ligand recognition and signal induction mechanisms. Here, we attained S6 using virtual screening and fluorescent imaging plate reader (FLIPR)-based calcium assays. The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize S6, a novel small molecule GLP-1R agonist. Data from cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) and Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) indicated that S6 could bind potently with GLP-1R. Radioimmunoassay data showed that S6 potentiated insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and the insulinotropic effect was mediated by GLP-1R. Calcium imaging techniques suggested that S6 elevated the intracellular calcium concentration [(Ca2+)i] by activating GLP-1R. In patch-clamp experiments, we demonstrated that S6 inhibited voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels in a GLP-1R-dependent fashion. Besides, S6 significantly prolonged action potential duration but had no effect on voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. In summary, these findings indicate that S6 stimulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion mainly by acting on GLP-1R, inhibiting Kv channels, increasing (Ca2+)i. This study will provide direction for the screening and development of novel small-molecule agents targeting GLP-1R in the future.

Background Ginseng possesses antitumor effects, and ginsenosides are considered to be one of its main active chemical components. Ginsenosides can further be hydrolyzed to generate secondary saponins, and 20( R )-panaxotriol is an important sapogenin of ginsenosides. We aimed to synthesize a new ginsengenin derivative from 20( R )-panaxotriol and investigate its antitumor activity in vivo and in vitro . Methods Here, 20( R )-panaxotriol was selected as a precursor and was modified into its derivatives. The new products were characterized by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR and HR-MS and evaluated by molecular docking, MTT, luciferase reporter assay, western blotting, immunofluorescent staining, colony formation assay, EdU labeling and immunofluorescence, apoptosis assay, cells migration assay, transwell assay and in vivo antitumor activity assay. Results The derivative with the best antitumor activity was identified as 6,12-dihydroxy-4,4,8,10,14-pentamethyl-17-(2,6,6-trimethyltetrahydro-2 H -pyran-2-yl)hexadecahydro-1 H -cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yl( tert -butoxycarbonyl)glycinate ( A11 ). The focus of this research was on the antitumor activity of the derivatives. The efficacy of the derivative A11 (IC 50 < 0.3 μM) was more than 100 times higher than that of 20( R )- panaxotriol (IC 50 > 30 μM). In addition, A11 inhibited the protein expression and nuclear accumulation of the hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α in HeLa cells under hypoxic conditions in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, A11 dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HeLa cells, while promoting their apoptosis. Notably, the inhibition by A11 was more significant than that by 20( R )-panaxotriol ( p < 0.01) in vivo . Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the production of derivative A11 from 20( R )-panaxotriol and its superior antitumor activity compared to its precursor. Moreover, derivative A11 can be used to further study and develop novel antitumor drugs.

Great progress has been made in miRNA nanodelivery for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). However, miRNA nanodelivery within the infarct is impeded by microvascular obstruction as a local circulatory disorder caused by microthrombus formation in microvessels. Knowing that low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) can effectively prevent microthrombus formation in microcirculation, it is hypothesized whether surface modification of the nanocarrier with LMWH can overcome microvascular obstruction in the infarct area for better miRNA delivery. Herein, a novel nanocomlex consisting of dendrigraft poly- l -lysine (DGL)-loaded miR-1 inhibitor as the core to decrease apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and LMWH as the shell to overcome microvascular obstruction of the infarct area is developed. The results show that this anti-coagulative nanocomlex is able to reduce microthrombus formation in microvessels and inhibit blood-coagulation factor Xa, thereby overcoming microvascular obstruction in the infarct area. In addition, it further enhances the uptake of miR-1 inhibitor within the infarct and decreases myocardiocyte apoptosis, thus improving the cardiac function and attenuating the myocardial fibrosis. In conclusion, modification of DGL-loaded miR-1 inhibitor with LMWH helps overcome microvascular obstruction in delivering the drug to the infarct area, thus providing a promising therapeutic strategy for achieving a better therapeutic outcome of MI.
