Abnormal purine metabolism can result in oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction, heightening the risks for conditions such as gout and cardiovascular disorders, which may subsequently trigger various physiological dysfunctions. Thus, the rapid and sensitive detection of metabolic abnormalities in purines is crucial for the early diagnosis and prevention of related diseases. Zebrafish has emerged as a popular model organism in metabolic, genetic, and toxicological studies due to its high genetic similarity to humans and the transparency of its embryos, facilitating observation. In this study, we developed a novel electrochemical sensor based on m OMe-Ir-PI/MWCNTs@PDA/GCE to detect purine molecules sensitively. Using this method, we analyzed the electrochemical behavior of zebrafish embryos, correlating the electrochemical signals with X/G and HX/A. Investigating purine metabolism in zebrafish embryos across different developmental stages, we found that from the cleavage stage to the somite formation stage, the activity of degrading enzymes increased, leading to enhanced purine oxidative degradation and the activation of metabolic pathways. This resulted in a decline in purine content, observed as decreasing electrochemical signals. Conversely, from the somite formation stage to hatching, cell differentiation, tissue formation, and organ development accelerated, leading to an increase in purines involved in energy metabolism and biosynthesis, which was reflected in rising electrochemical signals. This study represents the first application of electrochemical methods for detecting purine metabolism in zebrafish embryos throughout various developmental stages, thus providing insights into the role of purine metabolism in early life development.

Purpose Hypoxia is often associated with glioma chemoresistance, and alleviating hypoxia is also crucial for improving treatment efficacy. However, although there are already some methods that can improve efficacy by alleviating hypoxia, real-time monitoring that can truly achieve hypoxia relief and efficacy feedback still needs to be explored.Methods AQ4N/Gd@PDA-FA nanoparticles (AGPF NPs) were synthesized using a one-pot method and were characterized. The effects of AGPF NPs on cell viability, cellular uptake, and apoptosis were investigated using the U87 cell line. Moreover, the effectiveness of AGPF NPs in alleviating hypoxia was explored in tumor-bearing mice through photoacoustic imaging. In addition, the diagnosis and treatment effect of AGPF NPs were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bioluminescent imaging (BLI) on orthotopic glioma mice respectively.Results In vitro experiments showed that AGPF NPs had good dispersion, stability, and controlled release. AGPF NPs were internalized by cells through endocytosis, and could significantly reduce the survival rate of U87 cells and increase apoptosis under irradiation. In addition, we monitored blood oxygen saturation at the tumor site in real-time through photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and the results showed that synergistic mild-photothermal therapy/chemotherapy effectively alleviated tumor hypoxia. Finally, in vivo anti-tumor experiments have shown that synergistic therapy can effectively alleviate hypoxia and inhibit the growth of orthotopic gliomas.Conclusion This work not only provides an effective means for real-time monitoring of the dynamic feedback between tumor hypoxia relief and therapeutic efficacy, but also offers a potential approach for the clinical treatment of gliomas.

The preparation of the maple leaf-like MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA biomimetic composites not only overcame the problem of easy agglomeration of nanoparticles, but also provided rich functional groups, large specific surface areas and good stability, achieving the efficient sorption of Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous solution. The maximum sorption capacities of the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA towards Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) attained from the Langmuir model were 218.788, 383.420 and 148.939 mg·g −1 , respectively. The sorption of Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) on the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA were strongly affected by pH, but not by ionic strength, showing good resistance to salt interference. The main sorption mechanism of the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA towards Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) was the strong surface complexation of the functional groups on the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA with Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II). Moreover, the radii of Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions and their complexation strength with the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA jointly determined the order of the competitive sorption capacities as Cu(II) > Cd(II) > Ni(II). Given the above analyses, the maple leaf-like MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA biomimetic composites have excellent application prospects in practical wastewater treatment.

The difficulty of wound healing due to skin defects has been a great challenge due to the complex inflammatory microenvironment. Delayed wound healing severely affects the quality of life of patients and represents a significant economic burden for public health systems worldwide. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of novel wound dressings that can efficiently resist drug-resistant bacteria and have superior wound repair capabilities in clinical applications. In this study, we designed an adhesive antimicrobial hydrogel dressing (GMH) based on methacrylic-anhydride-modified gelatin and oxidized hyaluronic acid formed by Schiff base and UV-induced double cross-linking for infected wound repair. By inserting PDA nanoparticles into the hydrogel (GMH/PDA), the hydrogel has the capability of photothermal conversion and exhibits good photothermal antimicrobial properties under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, which helps to reduce the inflammatory response and avoid bacterial infections during the wound healing process. In addition, GMH/PDA hydrogel exhibits excellent injectability, allowing the hydrogel dressings to be adapted to complex wound surfaces, making them promising candidates for wound therapy. In conclusion, the multifunctional injectable GMH/PDA hydrogel possesses high antimicrobial efficiency, antioxidant properties and good biocompatibility, making them promising candidates for the treatment of infected skin wounds.

As a clinically effective traditional Chinese medicine injection (TCMI), Shuanghuanglian injection (SHLI) is widely used in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infection and pneumonia. However, the shortage of quality analysis is a limitation that remains to be improved in the clinical application of SHLI. In this study, taking advantage of ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem Q-Exactive Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC/Q-Orbitrap-MS), 31 chemical components (eight organic acids, eleven flavonoids, five iridoid glycosides, four phenylethanoid glycosides, and three lignans) in SHLI were characterized, among which 22 components were unambiguously identified by reference compounds. The brief prediction results of network pharmacology indicated that the 22 targeted components may have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and immunomodulatory activities. Using multiwavelength switching method, the 22 targeted components were quantified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detector (UPLC-PDA) after the methodological validation. Based on the successfully established method, the total content of 22 components in 20 batches of SHLIs was efficiently determined with a slight variation between 10.25 and 11.28 mg/mL, which accounted for 38.7% in total solid of SHLI. This study performed a reliable chemical identification and provided a rapid and effective method for quality analysis, which contributed to the in-depth investigation and application of SHLI.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2), as one of the titanium (Ti)-based implants, holds a promise for a variety of anti-bacterial application in medical research. In the current study, a functional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/polydopamine (PDA)-LL-37 coating on titanium dioxide (TiO2) implant was prepared. Anodic oxidation and hydrothermal treatment was given to prepare TiO2 nanotubes-MoS2/PDA-LL-37 (T-M/P-L). The in vitro osteogenic effect of T-M/P-L was evaluated by measuring mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization, collagen secretion and osteoblast-specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs) expression. The determination on the anti-bacterial ability of T-M/P-L was followed. Furthermore, the ability of T-M/P-L to promote bone formation in vivo was evaluated. Near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation exposure enabled the T-M/P-L coating-endowed Ti substrates to hold effective anti-bacterial ability. T-M/P-L promoted the adhesion and proliferation of MSCs. In addition, an increase was witnessed regarding the ALP activity, collagen secretion and ECM mineralization, along with the expression of runt-related transcription factor 2, ALP and osteocalcin in the presence of T-M/P-L. Additionally, T-M/P-L could stimulate endothelial cells to secrete vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and promote capillary-like tubule formation. Upon NIR laser irradiation exposure, T-M/P-L not only exhibited efficient in vivo anti-bacterial activity but also facilitated new bone formation. Collectively, T-M/P-L had enhanced anti-bacterial and osteogenic activity under NIR laser irradiation.

Benzotriazole-loaded polydopamine/polyaniline (BTA@PDA/PANI) microcapsules are prepared vis the combination of a hard template method and in-situ polymerization. The PDA/PANI hollow microspheres are first prepared using SiO 2 as a hard template and etching them with hydrofluoric acid . The BTA corrosion inhibitor is then loaded into the PDA/PANI hollow microspheres to obtain the BTA@PDA/PANI microcapsules. The mean particle size and shell thickness of the synthesized microcapsules are 8.3 and 2.1 µm, respectively. The load capacity of BTA is above 20 wt%. The corrosion resistance of epoxy coatings with different contents and types of microcapsules is compared by saline immersion and electrochemical impedance tests. A scratched coating with 1 wt% BTA@PDA/PANI microcapsules has the best anti-corrosion effect. The synergistic anticorrosion mechanism of BTA, PDA and PANI is revealed and confirmed.

Currently, many cancer patients with bone defects are still threatened by tumor recurrence, postoperative bacterial infection, and massive bone loss. Many methods have been studied to endow bone implants with biocompatibility, but it is difficult to find an implant material that can simultaneously solve the problems of anticancer, antibacterial and bone promotion. Here, a multifunctional gelatin methacrylate/dopamine methacrylate adhesive hydrogel coating containing 2D black phosphorus (BP) nanoparticle protected by polydopamine (pBP) is prepared by photocrosslinking to modify the surface of poly (aryl ether nitrile ketone) containing phthalazinone (PPENK) implant. The multifunctional hydrogel coating works in conjunction with pBP, which can deliver drug through photothermal mediation and kill bacteria through photodynamic therapy at the initial phase followed by promotion of osteointegration. In this design, photothermal effect of pBP control the release of doxorubicin hydrochloride loaded via electrostatic attraction. Meanwhile, pBP can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to eliminate bacterial infection under 808 nm laser. In the slow degradation process, pBP not only effectively consumes excess ROS and avoid apoptosis induced by ROS in normal cells, but also degrade into PO 4 3− to promote osteogenesis. In summary, nanocomposite hydrogel coatings provide a promising strategy for treatment of cancer patients with bone defects.

The pore structure and surface properties of ceramic membranes lead to a low separation flux, which limits their further application. Changing the microstructure of membranes by introducing new technologies is a very effective method. In this study, high flux ceramic substrate membranes were prepared by metal mesh-assisted phase inversion method, and then new PDA@SiO 2 ceramic membranes were prepared by introducing PDA@SiO 2 core-shell structure. During the phase inversion, the metal mesh pores restrict the path of the water nuclei to extract the polymer, and the microchannels grow along the extraction path, creating a uniform pore size above the metal mesh and removing the dense layer below, allowing the ceramic substrate membranes to exhibit high fluxes. PDA@SiO 2 core-shell structures were stably grown on the surface of ceramic membranes by vacuum self-assembly. Due to the introduction of hydrophilic groups and micro-nano scale roughness, the PDA@SiO 2 ceramic membranes exhibit super-hydrophilic/underwater super-oleophobic performance, stabilizing the separation of oil-in-water emulsions with excellent permeation fluxes (1058 L·m⁻²·h⁻¹·0.2 bar⁻¹) and oil removal rate (99 %). PDA@SiO 2 ceramic membranes exhibit excellent stability, fouling resistance, and durability in harsh environments, contamination tests, and cycling tests. Excellent oil-water separation, stability, and durability make PDA@SiO 2 ceramic membranes a promising solution for the treatment of oil-in-water emulsions.

A polysulfone/metal–organic framework (MOF) based photocatalytic nanofiltration membrane is proposed in this study. Interfacial polymerization (IP) is the universal method of preparing nanofiltration (NF) membranes. In this work, the (TFN) membranes were synthesized with an in-situ interfacial synthetic method to incorporate BiOCl/MIL-101(Fe)@PDA(BMP) into the polyamide (PA) selective layer. Five distinct BMP loadings (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 wt%) were established to examine the impact of additional BMP on the physicochemical characteristics of the produced TFN membranes. Under the irradiation of a xenon lamp with a power of 300 W, the water flux of M3 at a pressure of 0.6 MPa was 277.14 L m -2 h -1 . Furthermore, the BSA-based antifouling tests demonstrated the membrane’s outstanding antifouling capabilities, with a flux recovery rate reaching 94.08 %. The optimal membrane maintained a high and stable retention of tetracycline for 12 h. The interfacial synthesis of MOF/PA offers a new approach to the fabrication of photocatalytic NF membranes.

Solar absorbers play a crucial role in interfacial solar steam generation (ISSG) technology, facilitating efficient steam generation and sterilization. Nonetheless, limitations in solar conversion efficiency and water transport effects, coupled with challenges in outdoor portability of traditional installations, have hindered the progress in steam sterilization technology. In this work, based on Cu8S5/PDA nanoparticles (NPs) and sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel, a solar steam sterilization absorber with superior photothermal conversion and antibacterial properties was developed. The Cu8S5/PDA@SA hydrogel synthesized via in situ deposition demonstrated remarkable full-spectrum absorption performance and stable photothermal conversion ability (37.56%), capable of effectively destroying bacterial structure and metabolic functions through multiple therapeutic mechanisms: photothermal therapy via thermal effect of high temperature and chemodynamic and photodynamic therapies via oxidation of reactive oxygen species and depletion of intracellular glutathione, achieving 100% steam antibacterial efficiency and presenting excellent antibacterial potential under low irradiation conditions. This study proposes a promising avenue for the development of environmentally friendly and easy-to-use solar steam sterilizers for off-grid conditions.

In this work, SiO 2 @PDA nanoparticles obtained by in - situ coating polydopamine (PDA) on the surface of spherical SiO 2 nanoparticles were adopted to prepare the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite films via thermally-induced phase separation (TIPS) method with diphenyl carbonate (DPC) as the diluent. PDA was proved to cover evenly on the surface of SiO 2 nanoparticles, which was favorable to the dispersion of hydrophilic nanoparticles in the matrix. Effect of the presence of SiO 2 @PDA nanoparticles on crystallization behavior, thermal stability, mechanical properties and hydrophilicity of the composite films was intensively investigated. Heterogeneous nucleating effect on the crystallization of PVDF coupled with elevated crystallinity was found upon the incorporation of SiO 2 @PDA without altering the crystal form of PVDF. The rigidity, tensile strength as well as thermal stability of the composite films containing SiO 2 @PDA were significantly improved in comparison to both neat film and those containing unmodified nanoparticles. In addition, the hydrophilicity of PVDF composite films’ surface was remarkably enhanced with an increasing SiO 2 @PDA content, which helped to reduce the protein adsorption of the composite films considerably. The present study would supply an insight into the fabrication of PVDF composite films with desirable performance and capabilities.
