The design and synthesis of vanadium-based denitration catalysts with low-temperature activity pose significant challenges in the field of toxic gas catalysis. In this study, we have developed a novel approach to fabricate highly efficient V 2 O 5 -WO 3 /TiO 2 monolithic mesh catalysts for NO x reduction at low temperatures. First, TiO 2 nanosheets with strong adhesion and large surface area were grown on Ti mesh using plasma electrolytic oxidation technology and hydrothermal method. Then, super-small traces of WO 3 and V 2 O 5 active nano-species were subsequently deposited on TiO 2 nanosheets using the deposition–precipitation method. Compared to traditional ceramic-based V 2 O 5 -WO 3 /TiO 2 catalysts, our V 2 O 5 -WO 3 /TiO 2 monolithic mesh catalyst exhibits superior mechanical performance, excellent thermal conductivity, lower pressure drop, higher utilization of active components, and stronger synergistic effects. Significantly, the V 2 O 5 -WO 3 /TiO 2 monolithic mesh catalysts exhibited excellent low-temperature catalytic activity with 98% of NO x conversion at 220 ℃, and remarkable long-term SO 2 tolerance and water resistance in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x with NH 3 . The SCR reaction of tiny V 2 O 5 and WO 3 active species supported on TiO 2 nanosheets directly demonstrated to follow the Eley–Rideal mechanism by in situ infrared spectra.

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prevalent inflammatory autoimmune disease characterised by persistent inflammation and joint damage with elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Current treatment modalities for RA have significant limitations, including poor bioavailability, severe side effects, and inadequate targeting of inflamed joints. Herein, we synthesised cerium/manganese oxide nanoparticles (NPs) as efficient drug carriers with antioxidant and catalytic-like functions that can eliminate ROS to facilitate the polarization of macrophages phenotype from M1 to M2 and alleviate inflammation. Methotrexate (MTX), a first-line RA medication, was loaded into the NPs, which were further modified with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and integrated into dissolving hyaluronic acid-based microneedles (MNs) for transdermal delivery. Result This innovative approach significantly enhanced drug delivery efficiency, reduced RA inflammation, and successfully modulated macrophage polarization toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Conclusion This research not only presents a promising drug delivery strategy for RA but also contributes broadly to the field of immune disease treatment by offering an advanced approach for macrophage phenotypic reprogramming.

For room temperature self-healing triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), the inherent contradiction between mechanical strength and self-healing properties was an urgent problem to be solved. Based on the phenol-carbamate bond, this paper proposed a strategy to design a new molecular structure and coordinate the triple dynamic bonds, which provided a feasible strategy to solve this contradiction. With polytetramethylene ether glycol ( M n = 1,000) as the soft segment in the main chain of polyurethane (PU), meanwhile methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl (BP) as the hard segment and chain extension agent, respectively, the combination of tetrad benzene ring endowed the resultant 4BP-PU with π-π interaction. The effective reversible dissociation and association with hydrogen bond not only bestowed 4BP-PU with high mechanical strength (16.14 MPa), but also promoted high self-healing efficiency (94.8%) at room temperature. 4BP-PU was selected as the elastic substrate between polydimethylsiloxane and copper sheet to prepare a self-healing TENG to collect energy from natural motion. Consequently, the rational molecular structure design provided new ideas for developing self-healing materials and fabricating energy harvest electronics.

Optimizing high dielectric constant materials is a promising strategy for manufacturing efficient electromagnetic wave absorbing materials, which aims to fully exploit the performance advantages of micro-nano materials and overcome the adverse effects at low scales. This requires reasonable and meticulous component optimization. The low-cost and environmentally friendly fillers possess significant advantages. In this work, two specifications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are selected as the research objects. A simple solvothermal method is used to compound rare earth oxides (REO). Finally, CNTs/REO composites are prepared. The effects of different particle sizes on the electromagnetic wave absorption properties of the system are studied in detail from the microscopic morphology. Improve the interface effect and impedance matching in the system. When the filling amount is 30 wt.%, the minimum reflection loss (RL min ) can reach − 69.94 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is widened from 3.00 to 5.20 GHz. The huge performance span is attributed to the optimization of REO nanoparticles in the regulation of CNTs from morphology structure to electromagnetic parameters. The interfacial polarization, dielectric polarization, and dipole relaxation are improved significantly. The excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance makes CNTs/REO have great application prospects in electronic devices. In addition, radar cross section (RCS) simulation provides theoretical support for the practical application of CNTs/REO composites. Graphical Abstract

Detection of DNA damage caused by ∙OH or radiation has led to rapidly growing interest in the fields of drug development, biochemistry, clinic diagnostics, and environmental evaluation. Electrochemical methods have been applied for DNA damage detection because of their fast and sensitive response. However, most of the electrochemical methods for DNA damage detection commonly require immobilization of the strands on the electrode surface. In the present work, sensitive electrochemical monitoring of DNA damage was realized successfully on the basis of in situ DNA chain growth by use of a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) technique. By use of [Ru(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ as the signal probe and the Fenton reaction as the ∙OH generator, ultrasensitive detection of DNA damage induced by ∙OH was realized successfully through differential pulse voltammetry with a linear relationship of ∙OH concentration from 15 to 750 pM and a detection limit of 12 pM. Furthermore, environmental DNA-damaging UV light was tested as the lesion source to demonstrate the practicability and reliability of the proposed HCR-based amplified signal method for DNA damage detection. By integrating the HCR technique with an electrochemical method, we provide a promising alternative approach to extend the applications of electrochemical methods in bioanalytical detection of DNA damage.

Environmental contamination by mercury in its organometallic form, methylmercury, remains a major global concern due to its neurotoxicity, environmental persistence and biomagnification through the food chain. Accurate prediction of mercury methylation cannot be achieved based on aqueous speciation alone, and there remains limited mechanistic understanding of microbial methylation of particulate-phase mercury. Here we assess the time-dependent changes in structural properties and methylation potential of nanoparticulate mercury using microscopic and spectroscopic analyses, microcosm bioassays and theoretical calculations. We show that the methylation potential of a mercury sulfide mineral ubiquitous in contaminated soils and sediments (nanoparticulate metacinnabar) is determined by its crystal structure. Methylmercury production increases when more of nano-metacinnabar’s exposed surfaces occur as the (111) facet, due to its large binding affinity to methylating bacteria, likely via the protein transporter responsible for mercury cellular uptake prior to methylation. During nanocrystal growth, the (111) facet diminishes, lessening methylation of nano-metacinnabar. However, natural ligands alleviate this process by preferentially adsorbing to the (111) facet, and consequently hinder natural attenuation of mercury methylation. We show that the methylation potential of nanoparticulate mercury is independent of surface area. Instead, the nano-scale surface structure of nanoparticulate mercury is crucial for understanding the environmental behaviour of mercury and other nutrient or toxic soft elements.

Background The bioconversion of phytosterols into high value-added steroidal intermediates, including the 9 α -hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (9-OHAD) and 22-hydroxy-23,24-bisnorchol-4-ene-3-one (4-HBC), is the cornerstone in steroid pharmaceutical industry. However, the low transportation efficiency of hydrophobic substrates into mycobacterial cells severely limits the transformation. In this study, a robust and stable modification of the cell wall in M. neoaurum strain strikingly enhanced the cell permeability for the high production of steroids. Results The deletion of the nonessential kasB , encoding a β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase, led to a disturbed proportion of mycolic acids (MAs), which is one of the most important components in the cell wall of Mycobacterium neoaurum ATCC 25795. The determination of cell permeability displayed about two times improvement in the kasB -deficient strain than that of the wild type M. neoaurum . Thus, the deficiency of kasB in the 9-OHAD-producing strain resulted in a significant increase of 137.7% in the yield of 9 α -hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (9-OHAD). Ultimately, the 9-OHAD productivity in an industrial used resting cell system was reached 0.1135 g/L/h (10.9 g/L 9-OHAD from 20 g/L phytosterol) and the conversion time was shortened by 33%. In addition, a similar self-enhancement effect (34.5%) was realized in the 22-hydroxy-23,24-bisnorchol-4-ene-3-one (4-HBC) producing strain. Conclusions The modification of kasB resulted in a meaningful change in the cell wall mycolic acids. Deletion of the kasB gene remarkably improved the cell permeability, leading to a self-enhancement of the steroidal intermediate conversion. The results showed a high efficiency and feasibility of this construction strategy.

3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate (PHBHHx), which is naturally generated by biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates synthesized by bacteria, is an attractive material for drug delivery due to its controllable physical properties, non-toxicity, environmental friendliness, degradable properties and good biocompatibility. However, the intracellular trafficking network pathways, especially the autophagy mechanism of PHBHHx nanoparticles (NPs), have rarely been investigated. In this paper, we successfully prepared the NPs used solvent displacement method and investigated the autophagy pathways and other intracellular trafficking mechanisms based on NPs with the assistance of Rab proteins. We found that NPs were internalized in cells mainly via clathrin endocytosis and caveolin endocytosis. Beside the classical pathways, we discovered two new pathways: the micropinocytosis early endosome (EEs)-micropinocytosis-lysosome pathway and the EEs-liposome-lysosome pathway. NPs were delivered to cells through endocytosis recycling vesicles and GLUT4 exocytosis vesicles. Similar to other nanoparticles, NPs also induced intracellular autophagy and were then degraded via endolysosomal pathways. 3-MA and CQ were used as autophagy inhibitors to avoid the degradation of NPs through lysosomes by blocking endolysosomal pathways. Tumor volumes and weights were significantly decreased when autophagy inhibitors and chemical drugs packaged in NPs were cooperatively used.

Ferroptosis is a newly characterized form of regulated cell death mediated by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species and holds great potential for cancer therapy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis remain largely elusive. In this study, we define an integrative role of DJ-1 in ferroptosis. Inhibition of DJ-1 potently enhances the sensitivity of tumor cells to ferroptosis inducers both in vitro and in vivo. Metabolic analysis and metabolite rescue assay reveal that DJ-1 depletion inhibits the transsulfuration pathway by disrupting the formation of the S-adenosyl homocysteine hydrolase tetramer and impairing its activity. Consequently, more ferroptosis is induced when homocysteine generation is decreased, which might be the only source of glutathione biosynthesis when cystine uptake is blocked. Thus, our findings show that DJ-1 determines the response of cancer cells to ferroptosis, and highlight a candidate therapeutic target to potentially improve the effect of ferroptosis-based antitumor therapy.

Amino-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS-8NH 2 ) were covalently bound to the surface of polydopamine-coated magnetized graphene oxide. It was then reacted with 4-formylphenylboronic acid to prepare a “cubic boronic acid”-bonded magnetic graphene oxide adsorbent. The new adsorbent exhibits better selectivity and much higher adsorption capacity for ortho-phenols over adsorbents where small boronic ligands are directly bound to the surface of the material. It is shown to enable selective and faster enrichment of the catecholamines epinephrine (EP), dopamine (DA) and isoprenaline (IP) with high selectivity over many potential interferents that can occur in urine. The analytes were then quantified by HPLC with fluorometric detection. Under optimal conditions, response is linear (R 2 ≥ 0.9907), limits of detection are low (0.54–2.3 ng·mL −1 ), and reproducibility is acceptable (inter- and intra-day assay RSDs of≤10.9%). The method was successfully applied to the determination of endogenous EP and DA and exogenous IP in urine samples.
Schematic of boronic acid (BA)-modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) on polydopamine-coated magnetized graphene oxide (magGO). The material (magGO@POSS-BA) has good selectivity and higher adsorption capacity to ortho-phenols and can be applied to enrich the catecholamines in urine.

The spoilage of aquatic products is mainly caused by the bacterial growth, and the specific spoilage organism (SSO) plays an important role. Quorum sensing (QS) is a microbial cell–cell communication system which is coordinated with the population density, and is controlled by N -acyl-homoserine lactone (AHLs) as the Gram-negative bacteria communication signals. In this study, the SSO was Pseudomonas fluorescens (PF-04), isolated from the turbot ( Scophthalmus maximus L. ) during aerobically refrigerated storage. The supernatant extract of PF-04 tested the AHLs activities utilizing biosensor Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. AHL production was influenced by the environment temperature, and AHL production reduced obviously at 10 °C compare with 25 °C. In Luria-Bertani (LB) supplemented with 0.5–1.0% NaCl, AHL production reached the maximum. The AHL production was also regulated by pH of culture medium, acidic condition was conducive to persistent existence of the AHL molecules, but the alkaline environment would cause chemically unstable of AHL molecules. QS system in P. flurosecens played an imperative role in biofilm formation, protease and siderophore production. AHLs could regulate above three factors in PF-04. In summary, this study showed that (1) the influence of different environmental conditions (temperature, NaCl and pH) on AHL production revealed the correlation of QS in foods and (2) that proved the effect of external AHLs to regulate the biofilm formation, protease and siderophore production in PF-04.

A hydrophobic CCS polymer of poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PBzMA) was prepared in toluene by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated dispersion polymerization. The CCS polymer, with poly(benzyl methacrylate) as the arm and crosslinked N , N ′-bis(acryloyl)cystamine (BAC) as the core, was confirmed by characterization with gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Three kinds of oils (toluene, anisole and styrene) were chosen to study the emulsification properties of PBzMA CCS polymer. The oils can be emulsified by CCS polymer to form water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions. Moreover, w/o high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) can be obtained with the increase of toluene and styrene volume fractions from 75% to 80%. Porous polystyrene monolith and microparticles were prepared from the emulsion templates and characterized by the scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). With the internal phase volume fraction increased, open-pore porous monolith was obtained.
