Due to the intrinsic structural stability, materials with polyanionic framework have attracted worldwide attention to build-up aqueous metal-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage. Anion-dependent electrochemical behaviors of graphene-modified Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (rGO/NVP/C) with rhombohedral structure have been explored. Compared to common saturated solutions, remarkable improvements on overall the electrochemical performances have been achieved in novel deep eutectic solvents (DES) based on methylsulfonylmethane, perchloride salts and water. A high-voltage aqueous lithium-ion battery consisted of rGO/NVP/C nanomaterials as cathode materials and carbon-coated NbOPO 4 as anode materials (rGO/NVP/C||DES-Li||NbOPO 4 ) exhibits a specific energy of 74 Wh kg −1 with a voltage output up to 1.8 V and excellent capacity retention that is above 80.1% after 600 cycles at 2 C current density. Kinetic studies have clearly shown that Li + (de)intercalation in rGO/NVP/C in DES is dominated by a diffusion-controlled process. During the repetitive Li + (de)intercalation, a phase transformation from Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase into Li 2 NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is identified. The negligible changes of lattice volume within Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 during Li + (de)intercalation, and the wide electrochemical window of DES together with the low activity of water in DES enable the long cycle life of rGO/NVP/C||DES-Li||NbOPO 4 .

Herrin, the lignin extracted from Rice hull , Phyllostachys edulis , Cunninghamia lanceolata, and Populus tomentosa Carrière were used as a soft support to grow Ti-doped Bi 2 (O,S) 3 bimetal oxysulfide catalysts, labeled BT-Rh, BT-Pe, BT-Cl, and BT-Ptc, respectively. The catalytic reduction activity was investigated through the decolorization of methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB), and reduction of Cr(VI) solutions under dark. The lignin-supported BiTiOS improved crystallinity, decreased aggregate size, increased specific surface area, and enhanced electrochemical active sites, leading to improve electron transfer and accelerated reduction rates. The catalytic reduction activity of organic dyes and Cr(VI) was significantly improved with lignin-supported BiTiOS. The 5 mg BT-Pe catalyst completely reduced 100 mL of 50 ppm MO, MB, and Cr(VI) solutions in 6, 6, and 18 min, respectively, with the reaction kinetic rate of 0.6782, 1.090, and 0.1189 min −1 , and demonstrated good durability, maintaining a reduction rate of 95 % after six cycles. This work provides a feasible approach combining biomass/inorganic materials to treat industrial wastewater.

Na-rich manganese-based layered oxide cathodes have presented potential applications in high energy–density sodium-ion batteries due to their cost-effectiveness and large theoretical specific capacity. However, the low kinetics of anionic redox reaction and lattice distortion caused by the Mn 3+ Jahn-teller effect greatly hindered the actual capacity, rate, and cycling performances of these cathodes. Herein, a Li + substitution induced O3/O′3 biphasic tailoring strategy has been proposed for constructing the Na-rich NaLi 0.2 Mn 0.8 O 2 (NLMO) cathode. Compared with conventional O′3-Na 1.2 Mn 0.8 O 2 (NMO) cathode, the O3/O′3-NLMO cathode enabled to provide an ultrahigh capacity of 233 mAh g −1 , superior capacity retention of 86 % after 50 cycles, and outstanding rate performance with the recorded-up capacity of 165 mAh g −1 at a high current density of 200 mA g −1 . In addition, NLMO also displayed rapid Na + -diffusion and more structural reversibility of O3/O′3-P3-O1-P3-O3/O′3 during the entire charging and discharging processes. The above excellent performances of NLMO cathode could be attributed to the well-designed O3/O′3 biphasic structure that provides the synergistic function of drastically enhancing reaction kinetics of anionic (O − /O 2– ) couple and efficiently alleviating multiphase transitions caused by Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ cationic couple. This unique finding of Li + substitution induced biphasic structure provides an insight for developing economical and high-performance Na-rich oxide cathodes.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often associated with atrial fibrosis and oxidative stress. Neferine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, has been reported to exert an antiarrhythmic effect. However, its impact on Angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion-induced AF and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether neferine alleviates Ang II-induced AF and explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Mice subjected to Ang II infusion to induce AF were concurrently treated with neferine or saline. AF incidence, myocardial cell size, fibrosis, and oxidative stress were then examined. Results: Neferine treatment inhibited Ang II-induced AF, atrial size augmentation, and atrial fibrosis. Additionally, we observed that Ang II increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, induced mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, and reduced glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, which were reversed to some extent by neferine. Mechanistically, neferine activated the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and inhibited TGF-β/p-Smad2/3 in Ang II-infused atria. Zinc Protoporphyrin (ZnPP), an HO-1 inhibitor, reduced the anti-oxidative effect of neferine to some extent and subsequently abolished the beneficial effect of neferine on Ang II-induced AF. Conclusions: These findings provide hitherto undocumented evidence that the protective role of neferine in Ang II-induced AF is dependent on HO-1.

Objective:
Cisplatin (DDP)-based chemotherapy medications are frequently used as the initial line of treatment for cancer patients, including those with stomach cancer. At present, DDP resistance is a frequent problem in chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to investigate the function of NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2 (NPC2) in GC cells.
Material and Methods:
The expression of NPC2 and baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat containing 3 (BIRC3) in gastric epithelial cells-1, BGC823, and BGC823/DDP cells was determined by Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Subsequently, the proliferative capacity and viability of BGC823 cells were assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol2-yl)-2.5-diphenyl-2-tetrazolium bromide, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling assay, and colony-formation assay. Finally, the association of NPC2 and BIRC3 with the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway was determined by Western Blot.
Results:
In GC cells, NPC2 transcription increased, and DDP-resistant cells showed higher NPC2 expression levels than their parental cells (P < 0.001). In terms of mechanism, compared with parental cells, overexpressing NPC2, DDP-resistant cells showed resistance to DDP. Knocking down NPC2 increased the apoptotic response of DDP-resistant cells to DDP and blocked the cancer cells resistant to DDP exhibiting BIRC3, thereby promoting GC cell apoptosis (P < 0.001). Importantly, involving NF-κB signaling overturned the NPC2-mediated DDP resistance.
Conclusion:
NPC2 regulated BIRC3 and affected drug resistance in GC. Therefore, NPC2 and BIRC3 may be new targets for cancer patient treatment following DDP therapy and act as roadblocks to overcome chemotherapy resistance in GC.

Mn2+-doped luminescent materials play a significant role in a variety of fields, including modern lighting, displays, and imaging. Mn2+ exhibits a broad and adjustable emission, hinging on the local environment of the crystal field and the interaction of the 3d5 electrons. However, it is still a challenge to realize the precise control of the emission of Mn2+ ions due to site-prior occupation in a specific lattice. Here, the formation of Mn–Mn dimers is proposed to be an effective strategy to design a novel red emission. Multimode emitters in Mn2+-activated AZn4(PO4)3 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) with unique [Zn4PO12] chains and [ZnOn] groups are observed to achieve regular green and unusual red emissions. KZn4(PO4)3:Mn2+ shows broad dual emissions at 542 and 608 nm, attributed to [MnO4] and [Mn2O7] dimers, respectively. While K is replaced with Rb and Cs, the Zn ions form [ZnO4] tetrahedra and [ZnO5] octahedra. RbZn4(PO4)3:Mn2+ exhibits a broad red emission at 618 nm, ascribing to [Mn2O7] and [Mn2O8] dimers. CsZn4(PO4)3:Mn2+ also displays a broad orange-red emission at 608–620 nm with increasing doping levels, deriving from energy transfer from [MnO5] to [Mn2O7] and [Mn2O8] dimers. This work provides a framework for creating novel red emissions from Mn2+-doped luminescent materials.

Ethyl ( S )-4‑chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate [( S )-CHBE] is attractive as a necessary intermediate for the production of highly valued products in pharmaceutical industries. Nowadays, alcohol dehydrogenases play an increasingly essential role in the asymmetric synthesis of chiral alcohols. In this work, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas bacterium ( Pb ADH) was obtained by genome mining method and identified to exhibit an excellent tolerance against the high substrate and product concentrations. For the regeneration of NADH, Bacillus megaterium glucose dehydrogenase ( Bm GDH) was successfully co-expressed with Pb ADH in E. coli cells. So much as 3.5 M (574 g/L) ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate (COBE) can be converted to ( S )-CHBE completely with a > 99 % ee value under the catalysis by recombinant cells, even in a monophasic aqueous media with a single batch charge of substrate. In addition, in order to verify the substrate scope of Pb ADH, six other α/β-ketone esters and aromatic ketones were also evaluated as substrates at high substrate concentrations (100–650 g/L), and the corresponding chiral alcohols with highly optical purity were also achieved by co-expressed E. coli cells.

In this work, an amphiphilic polymeric prodrug Cis -3-(9H-purin-6-ylthio)-acrylic acid-graft-carboxymethyl chitosan (PTA- g -CMCS) was designed and synthesized. In aqueous solution, this grafted polymer can self-assemble into spherical micelles with a size ranging from 104 to 285 nm and zeta potential ranging from −12.3 to −20.1 mV. For the release study, less than 24% of 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) was released from PTA- g -CMCS1 in the media containing 2 and 100 μM glutathione (GSH), whereas 37%, 54% and 75% of 6-MP was released from the media with GSH of 1, 2 and 10 mM, respectively. Besides, pH and drug content of the polymeric prodrug only presented slight influence on the 6-MP release. MTT assay demonstrated that this system had higher inhibition ratio on HL-60 cells (human promyelocytic leukemia cells) in the presence of GSH and lower cytotoxicity on mouse fibroblast cell line (L929). Therefore, this nano-sized system is glutathione-dependent, and it can be employed as a potential carrier for the controlled release of 6-MP.

In this work, 2(3),9(10),16(17),23(24)-octamethoxyphthalocyanine (Pc(OH)8) was first used to modify Cu/CuFe2O4(Cu/CFO) nanospheres, and Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO nanocomposites with enhanced peroxidase mimetic enzyme activity was obtained compared to the performance of Cu/CFO alone. SEM, XRD, and XPS were used to study the surface morphology, phase composition and elemental analysis of the newly synthesized Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO. Using TMB as the chromogenic substrate, Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO accelerate the oxidation process of chromogenic substrate 3,3′,5,5′- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by hydrogen peroxide in three minutes. The catalytic oxidation mechanism of Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO on TMB was comprehensively investigated through free radical and fluorescence probe experiments. Based on the excellent catalytic performance of the composite materials, a simple and fast colorimetric sensing platform for the colorimetric detection of H2O2 and glutathione (GSH) was constructed in the range of 0.6–5 mM and 2–10 μM with detection limits (LODs) of 0.35 mM and 0.55 μM, respectively. In addition, using Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO colorimetric detection for GSH has a lower detection limit, good selectivity and high sensitivity, which is expected to become an ideal material for GSH colorimetric detection.

Efficient recovery of gallium (Ga) from vanadium slag processing residue (VSPR) solution is of great significance for environmental protection and resource utilization, but improving its selective adsorption against the coexisting Sc3+and In3+is still challenging. Herein, a novel adsorbent consisting of 4-amino-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazol-5-thiol (AHTZT)-modified graphene oxide (GO-AHTZT) was successfully synthesized that exhibits a higher adsorption selectivity for Ga3+in VSPR solution with coexisting Sc3+and In3+. Under optimal conditions, the adsorption capacity of GO-AHTZT for Ga3+can reach 23.92 mg g−1, which is 4.9 and 12.6 times higher than that for Sc3+(4.87 mg g−1) and In3+(1.90 mg g−1) adsorption, indicating the excellent anti-interference ability of GO-AHTZT against Sc3+and In3+. The process and mechanism of Ga3+adsorption onto GO-AHTZT was also studied and discussed in detail. By measuring the adsorption process and by characterizing the adsorbent before and after adsorption, we demonstrate that the selective interaction between the Ga3+- and N-containing groups in AHTZT is the main reason for the improved adsorption selectivity. This work opens up an avenue for the design and synthesis of highly selective adsorbents for Ga3+in complex VSPR solutions.

This study investigates the advantages of combined microbial degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in reducing the inhibitory effects of high-concentration eluents commonly used in soil washing. A microbial synergistic strategy was proposed using Arthrobacter sp. SZ-3 and Pseudomonas putida B6-2 as the key bacteria in the presence of Tween 80. The results show that in systems with Tween 80, the SZ-3 strain exhibits a strong capacity to degrade three types of PAH compounds, while the B6-2 strain follows multiple degradation pathways. Mixed bacteria achieved degradation rates 60.70% higher than single bacteria at varying concentrations of Tween 80. Additionally, the average growth rates of mixed bacteria increased by 1.17–1.37 times, aligning with the changes in the functional group. Protein activity detection within each degradation system corresponded with growth quantity and the cyclic variation characteristics of ETS enzyme activity. Notably, the ETS activity of mixed bacteria was 150% higher than that of single bacteria. At a Tween 80 concentration of 500 mg/L, the degradation rates of PAHs (Phe, Flu, Pyr) by mixed bacteria were significantly higher than those by single bacteria. The catechol 1,2-dioxygenase activity of mixed bacteria was 2.30 times higher than that of single bacteria. While Tween 80 did not alter the PAH degradation pathways, it significantly influenced the accumulation amount and duration of the characteristic intermediate product. This provides a reference for the remediation of recalcitrant pollutants under conditions involving high-concentration surfactants.

DEHP is the most widely used plasticizer in many products. However, growing evidence has indicated that DEHP may induce neurotoxicity. DEHP exposure affects mircoRNAs (miRNAs) expression in brain. A growing body of evidence suggests that nutrients and other bioactive food components prevent neurotoxicity through regulation of miRNA expression. Due to the increasing concern about the risks of DEHP to human health, we explored the neuroprotective effect of Omega-3 fatty acid (Omega-3FA) on subchronic DEHP-induced neurotoxicity in mice, and the potential involved miRNAs and their targets in the protective action of Omega-3FA against DEHP-induced neurotoxicity. Omega-3FA protected against the DEHP-induced impairment of learning and memory and alleviated the thinning of postsynaptic density (PSD) thickness in hippocampal synapses. We observed that there are fourteen up or down regulated miRNAs associated PSD in DEHP exposure which were normalized by Omega-3FA treatment. Protein targets in PSD of these differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted. Furthermore, the expression levels of protein mGluR5, Homer1, and NMDAR2B were carried out via Western blot, for further verifying PSD associated miRNAs’ targets are involved in neuroprotection of Omega-3FA against DEHP. These findings suggested that Omega-3FA protected DEHP-induced impairment of learning and memory as well as synaptic structure alteration in the hippocampus by regulating the expression of PSD associated miRNAs and their targets. Thus, Omega-3FA should be included in diet to prevent or suppress neurotoxicity caused by continuous exposure to DEHP.
