Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent critical condition in hospitalized patients with an elevated risk of death. Challenges in AKI management persist due to the absence of efficient early diagnostic modalities and the lack of effective therapeutic interventions, imposing significant burdens on medical resources for prolonged treatment. Here, we proposed a second near-infrared (NIR-II) photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided triggered on-demand release of (nitric oxide) NO from the injury zone to monitor and treat AKI through the anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and oxidative stress-damage-reducing cell- or organ-protective effects of NO. We engineered hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (Cu 9 S 8 NPs) loaded with platelet membrane-encapsulated NO-releasing precursors (S-Nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, SNAP), as a nanoplatform for early AKI diagnosis and precise spatiotemporal NO release Besides acting as a drug carrier, the inherent PAI compatible Cu 9 S 8 also enables targeted renal injury localization, exploiting the natural propensity of platelets to accumulate at vascular injury sites, facilitating real-time AKI monitoring in murine models. Experiments demonstrated that nitric oxide delivery nanoparticles can specifically target and accumulate in the kidney, reduce inflammation, and promote damage repair. Overall, this gas therapy strategy represents a new therapeutic pathway for the clinical AKI management.

A compact optical fiber sensor based on a no-core fiber (NCF) segment functionalized with a Cu²⁺-imprinted chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) film was developed to enable operando on-line monitoring of Cu²⁺ with high selectivity and sensitivity in complex environmental water matrices. The optimal length of the NCF segment was determined to be 1 cm based on simulation and experimental evaluation, under which the highest sensitivity was achieved. The pseudo-second-order kinetic behavior of Cu²⁺ adsorption was first validated by analyzing the time-dependent shift of the interference valley, providing direct spectral evidence of a chemisorption-driven mechanism. A sensitivity of 0.0768 nm/μM and a detection limit of 0.1245 μM were obtained. A rapid response time of less than 20 s and excellent measurement repeatability, with strong specificity toward the target ion and relative standard deviation below 5 percent over five regeneration cycles, were also demonstrated. The sensor was further applied to spiked water samples from the Yangtze River and tap water. By integrating ion-imprinting technology with an optimized NCF-based fiber structure, a portable, cost-effective, and interference-resistant platform has been established for real-time and on-site monitoring of heavy metal ions in complex aquatic environments.

Both cyclic and noncyclic scrubbing experiments were conducted to remove NO from simulated flue gas in a lab-scale countercurrent spraying reactor. The effects of various operating parameters (initial solution pH, NaClO concentration, absorbent temperature, and inlet NO and SO2 concentrations) on NO removal efficiencies were investigated in the noncyclic scrubbing mode. The results showed that NO removal efficiency increased greatly with the decrease of the initial pH value. However, there was a drop in NO removal efficiency, possibly due to the NO2 absorption in the gas phase. NO removal efficiency increased gradually with the increase of the NaClO concentration. Complete removal of NO was achieved when the NaClO concentration was 24 × 10–3 mol·L–1. However, the NO removal efficiency obviously decreased with the absorbent temperature increasing from 303 to 343 K. This could be mainly ascribed to the decrease of the water solubility of NO2 and the absorption reaction of NO2 with water vapor. Furthermore, NO removal efficiency increased quickly with the increase of the inlet NO concentration. The coexisting SO2 in the simulated flue gas had little effect on the NO removal efficiency. Both NO and SO2 could be removed simultaneously with a SO2 removal efficiency of 100% and a NO removal efficiency of >93%. More importantly, the results of cyclic scrubbing experiments indicated that an average NO removal efficiency of 74% had been obtained for the whole cyclic scrubbing duration. The utilization of NaClO oxidant was calculated to be approximately 83%. The ion chromatographic analysis showed that there was no ON2– in the spent liquor. The results demonstrate that NaClO is a low-cost high-efficiency oxidant for NO removal from exhaust gas and that it has great potential for industrial applications.

Diabetic wound infection remains a devastating threat to human health, largely due to bacterial colonization and increased antibiotic resistance during conventional treatments, and alternative therapeutic strategies are thus urgent to improve diabetic wound healing. Herein, we developed a multifaceted nanoplatform (CuO@SiO 2 @NO@Au, CSNA NPs) consisting of a cupric oxide (CuO) core, a mesoporous silicon nanoshell loaded with nitric oxide (NO), and in situ grown ultrasmall Au nanoparticles (NPs) for improved diabetic wound treatment. The results showed that the prepared CSNA NPs exhibited remarkable dual-enzyme mimic activity of glucose oxidase (GOx) and peroxidase (POD), effectively oxidizing glucose to generate gluconic acid, thereby reducing the glucose levels and reversing the acidic wound microenvironment. In addition, the fabricated nanoplatform generated abundant H 2 O 2 , which was converted into highly toxic hydroxyl radical ( · OH), leading to efficient bacterial eradication that was subsequently. Under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, the CSNA nanozyme also triggered the release of NO gas and aided in the removal of bacterial biofilms, collectively improving the wound microenvironment. By integrating chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photothermal therapy, and NO gas therapy, this self-activatable NIR- augmented nanozyme provides a promising antimicrobial strategy for diabetic wound treatment.

Dental implants face challenges such as poor osseointegration, delayed angiogenesis, and chronic inflammation. Endogenous gaseous signaling molecules hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and nitric oxide (NO) have emerged as key gasotransmitters that regulate angiogenesis, osteogenic differentiation and immune responses, making them attractive candidates for microenvironment-targeted therapies. Here, we engineer a dual gasotransmitter-releasing coating by co-electrospinning hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and nitric oxide (NO) donors, JK-2 and S-Nitroso- N -acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP), into gelatin/polycaprolactone (Gel/PCL) nanofibers (NFs). These NFs were applied to laser-microgrooved titanium (Ti) surfaces, further modified with polyepigallocatechin gallate (pEGCG) to ensure stable attachment. The resulting coating exhibited sustained, pH-responsive release of H 2 S and NO, which acted synergistically to enhance cellular responses. In vitro , the dual gasotransmitter-releasing NFs coating enhanced endothelial cell migration, tube formation, and upregulated angiogenic markers (VEGF, TGF-β1, eNOS). Additionally, MC3T3 preosteoblasts showed increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization, and upregulation of osteogenic genes (Runx2, COL1, OPN, OPG). RNA-sequencing identified enriched pathways related to histone methylation and oxidative phosphorylation, crucial for osteogenesis and cellular metabolism. Macrophages cultured with these NFs demonstrated suppressed M1 pro-inflammatory markers and enhanced M2 polarization, indicating a shift toward a more regenerative immune response. In vivo , the NFs coating significantly improved neovascularization, bone volume, collagen deposition, and peri-implant tissue thickness. This synergistic release of H 2 S and NO provides a promising strategy to enhance osseointegration and bone regeneration by modulating angiogenesis and immune responses.

H2O2 is a vital atmospheric oxidant, while its photolysis in the troposphere is negligible in conventional view. For the first time, we find that gas-phase H2O2 can undergo heterogeneous photolysis to produce OH radicals on the surfaces of particles such as SiO2, Fe2O3, and Na2SO4 under solar irradiation, which further convert NO to produce HONO and NO2. It is demonstrated that acidity can inhibit the formation of HONO and promote the formation of NO2 significantly. Moreover, the heterogeneous photolysis of H2O2 is dependent on the reactivity of particles, with inert surfaces being more conducive to the generation of OH radicals. A MCM box model indicates that the HONO formation rate via the H2O2 heterogeneous reaction can reach 0.10 ppb·h–1 at 9 a.m., and the relative contribution to the total daytime HONO production can account for approximately 5% at 1 p.m. Given the ubiquitous presence of SiO2 in mineral dust particles, glass curtain walls, and terrestrial soils, these findings indicate that heterogeneous photolysis of H2O2 on the particle surface could be a potential source of daytime HONO. Our research also underscores the importance of atmospheric interfacial chemistry and its contribution to unknown sources of atmospheric oxidizing capacity.

A metal-free PEI/Nv-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst enables efficient gas-phase NO oxidation via an in situ photo-self-Fenton process. • Nitrogen vacancies and PEI cooperatively regulate interfacial electronic structure, O 2 activation, and proton-coupled electron transfer. • PEI functionalization switches ROS evolution from a ·O 2 ⁻ pathway to an H 2 O 2 /·OH-dominated oxidation pathway. • PEI/Nv-C 3 N 4 achieves 85% NO removal, 98.4% nitrate selectivity, and stable operation over 800 min under visible light. Photo-Fenton processes are highly effective for pollutant degradation, yet their application to gas-phase NO oxidation remains limited by metal leaching, external H 2 O 2 addition, and inefficient oxidant utilization. Herein, we develop a metal-free photocatalyst based on polyethyleneimine-functionalized nitrogen-vacancy-rich graphitic carbon nitride (PEI/N v -C 3 N 4 ) for efficient NO oxidation via an in situ photo-self-Fenton process under visible light irradiation. Nitrogen vacancies serve as the primary sites for O 2 adsorption and activation, while PEI functionalization reconstructs the interfacial electronic structure by introducing defect-molecule coupled mid-gap states and a proton-rich microenvironment. This molecular-defect synergy alters the oxygen reduction pathway from a conventional one-electron route toward a selective two-electron process (O 2 → ⁎OOH → H 2 O 2 ), followed by efficient in situ H 2 O 2 activation into ·OH radicals. Simultaneously, PEI enhances NO adsorption and stabilizes NO-derived intermediates, facilitating their complete oxidation into nitrate. As a result, PEI/N v -C 3 N 4 achieves 85% NO removal efficiency, 98.4% nitrate selectivity, and stable operation over 800 min without introducing metal components. Combined experimental and theoretical analyses reveal a mechanistic transition from a ·O 2 - -dominated pathway to an H 2 O 2 /·OH-mediated photo-self-Fenton process. This work provides a general molecular-defect co-engineering strategy for regulating ROS evolution in metal-free photocatalytic systems toward sustainable air purification.

Enzyme-mediated bacterial active endocytosis enhanced the permeability of NG/NO to biofilms. • The chemical structures of Schiff base and NONOates provided dual proton-responsive of gas release. • NO induces S-nitrosylation of PDEs in S. mutans 。, thereby reducing lactate production. Dental caries in permanent teeth have remained one of the most prevalent oral diseases over the past three decades, with their global incidence exhibiting a steady upward trajectory. Streptococcus mutans ( S. mutans ) colonization on dental surfaces, coupled with its acidogenic metabolic activity, constitutes a primary etiological factor in caries pathogenesis. In this work, a NO-loaded polysaccharide nanogel, NG/NO was developed to address this issue. Dextran component of the NG/NO demonstrated selective targeting capabilities, promoting active internalization by S. mutans through enzyme-mediated endocytosis. This mechanism significantly enhanced biofilm penetration of the NG/NO (>70% biofilm penetration depth) within a 4-h exposure. The Schiff base bonds and N-diazeniumdiolates conferred the dual-acid-responsive NO release kinetics, achieving mM concentration of NO liberation within several minutes under cariogenic conditions (pH 4.5–5.5), thereby triggering rapid biofilm disrupting (>80% biomass reduction). Moreover, lower concentration of NO was shown to inhibit glycolysis and synthesis of lactic acid in S. mutans , thus improving acidic environment and demonstrating the potential to prevent enamel demineralization and dental caries. In conclusion, the NG/NO has promising applications in daily oral hygiene maintenance and caries prevention.

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) was used as a CuOX/TiO2 catalyst carrier and its effect on NO reduction with NH3 was studied. After hBN was treated with concentrated HNO3, CuOX/TiO2 nanoparticles were dispersed well onto hBN, and the addition of hBN was found to promote NO oxidation, while at the same time suppress NH3 oxidation to NO, and thus promoted the selective catalytic reduction of NO at reaction temperatures between 150 to 350 °C, and a high de-NOX efficiency of 90.6% was achieved at 275 °C. Our study indicates that hBN is a promising catalyst promoter and carrier with excellent stability compared to carbonaceous materials.

Diabetic wounds represent a common and challenging complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by a complex pathological microenvironment that includes excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), chronic inflammation, hypoxia, and impaired nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. These factors collectively contribute to delayed wound healing, increased infection risk, and potential progression to chronic non-healing ulcers. Herein, we constructed a multifunctional injectable hydrogel (Prussian blue nanozyme and S-nitrosothiol-loaded hydrogel, PBE&SNO@HG) co-loaded with multi-enzyme-mimicking Prussian blue nanozymes (PBE) and an ultrasound-responsive nitric oxide (NO) donor (SNO). This composite hydrogel exhibited favorable injectability and tissue adhesiveness. The incorporated PBE nanozymes simultaneously mimicked superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), enabling the scavenging of superoxide anions (⋅O 2 - ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), thereby reducing oxidative stress levels at the wound site. Additionally, the ultrasound (US)-responsive release of NO promoted angiogenesis and alleviates inflammatory responses in the wound area. Animal experiments demonstrated that this hydrogel system significantly enhances collagen deposition, accelerates re-epithelialization, promotes hair follicle regeneration, and accelerates wound healing. This study demonstrated the synergistic effect of combining antioxidant strategies with gas therapy in diabetic wound treatment, while also indicating that US-responsive hydrogel materials can achieve on-demand release of therapeutic molecules via external field stimulation, thereby providing a novel strategy for chronic wound management.

Rationale: Chronic diabetic wounds present significant therapeutic challenges due to biofilm resistance and dysregulated metabolism of glucose, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and nitric oxide (NO), which collectively exacerbate immunosuppression and impair tissue repair. Methods: This study developed a glucose-driven cascade nanozyme-loaded dissolvable microneedle system (PPLG@MN) that enables spatiotemporal regulation of the wound microenvironment through a closed-loop mechanism involving nutrient deprivation, gas modulation, and immune reprogramming. The system consists of porous Prussian blue nanozymes (PPB) loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and L-arginine (L-arg), which is precisely delivered into the tissue via microneedles. Results: PPLG@MN initiates a self-sustaining therapeutic cycle within the biofilm microenvironment, in which GOx catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to generate hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), inducing bacterial starvation. Subsequently, H 2 O 2 reacts with PPB and L-arg to release oxygen (O 2 ) and biofilm-disrupting NO, thereby alleviating local hypoxia and enhancing antibacterial efficacy. Furthermore, the synergistic action of O 2 and NO reprograms macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype (approximately 30-fold increase compared to the model group), effectively resolving inflammation and promoting angiogenesis. In vivo studies confirmed that the system achieved > 99.9% biofilm eradication efficiency and accelerated wound healing by 25.6% compared to the model group. Conclusion: This nanoplatform offers a clinically translatable therapeutic strategy for biofilm-associated diabetic wounds by synergistically combining gas therapy and immune reprogramming.

Currently, undeveloped diagnosis and delayed treatment of bacteria-infected sites in vivo not only expand the risk of tissue infection but are also a major clinical cause of multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections. Here, an efficient nanoplatform for near-infrared (NIR)-light-controlled release and bacteria-targeted delivery of nitric oxide (NO) combined with photothermal therapy (PTT) is presented. Using maltotriose-decorated mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA-Mal) and BNN6, a smart antibacterial (B@MPDA-Mal) is developed to combine bacterial targeting, gas-controlled release, and PTT. Utilizing bacteria's unique maltodextrin transport system, B@MPDA-Mal can accurately distinguish bacterial infection from sterile inflammation and target the bacteria-infected sites for efficient drug enrichment. Moreover, NIR-light causes MPDA to generate heat, which not only effectively induces BNN6 to produce NO, but also raises the temperature to harm the bacteria further. NO/photothermal combination therapy effectively eliminates biofilm and drug-resistant bacteria. The myositis model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection is established and indicates that B@MPDA-Mal can successfully eradicate inflammation and abscesses in mice. Meanwhile, magnetic resonance imaging technology is used to monitor the treatment procedure and healing outcomes. Given the aforementioned advantages, the smart antibacterial nanoplatform B@MPDA-Mal can be used as a potential therapeutic tool in the biomedical field against drug-resistant bacterial infections.
