Deep desulfurization of model oil by photocatalytic air oxidation and adsorption using Ti (1− x ) M

O 2 (M=Zr, Ce) was prepared by urea gelation/co-precipitation method, and characterized by N 2 adsorption, XRD and UV-vis spectra. UV irradiation greatly enhanced the adsorptive capacity and selectivity of TiO 2 -ZrO 2 for organosulfur in model oil because organosulfur compounds were first photocatalytically oxidized to sulfoxides and sulfones over TiO 2 -ZrO 2 , which were then selectively adsorbed on the bifunctional material due to much higher polarities of generated sulfoxides and sulfones. The Ti/Zr molar ratio and calcination temperature were optimized to 5 : 5 and 500 °C with the sulfur removal of 99.6% after reaction for 2 h under UV irradiation. After adding 25 wt% toluene into model oil, the sulfur removal could still reach 97.2% after reaction for 7 h. TiO 2 -ZrO 2 could be well regenrated by washing with acetonitrile followed by thermal treatment in air.

A strain, Brevibacillus agri DH-1, isolated from dry lands was used to remove m -dichlorobenzene. After 48 h culturing, the concentrations of m -dichlorobenzene decreased from 26–130 to 7.87–28.87 mg/L and dry cell weight for bacterial growth reached 52.43–75.05 mg/L. The growth and degradation kinetics were analyzed by the fitting of Haldane-Andrews model and pseudo first-order model. A degradation pathway was proposed according to major intermediates (phenol), chloride ion variation, ring-opening enzyme activity, and high mineralization (0.47 g Cl- /g m -dichlorobenzene , 0.65 g co2 /g m -dichlorobenzene , 0.15 g DCW /g m -dichlorobenzene ). In addition, the performance in a biotrickling filter (BTF) was evaluated through removal efficiency and pressure drop values with increasing inlet loading rate from 4.10 to 122.57 g/m 3 /h at three empty bed residence time points (30 s, 60 s, and 90 s). The results demonstrated that strain DH-1 possessed high removal efficiency and stable operation in a BTF.

Isthmin-1 (Ism1) plays roles in glucose uptake in mammals as an adipokine. To investigate its role in the glucose metabolism of common carp ( Cyprinus carpio. L), the Ism1 sequence was cloned, and its expression and distribution in tissues were detected. In addition, we prepared and purified the recombinant Ism1 protein using the E. coli expression system and assessed changes in the expression of key genes related to glucose metabolism through both in vivo injection experiments and primary hepatocyte experiments in vitro. The results revealed that the open reading frame of Ism1 was 1377 bp long, encoding 458 amino acids. Similarity analysis indicated that Ism1 exhibited a close evolutionary relationship with goldfish ( Carassius auratus ), sharing 98.35% amino acid similarity. Ism1 was expressed in all tissues of common carp, with the highest level observed in the heart, followed by the gill, head kidney, and hepatopancreas. Distinct patterns of Ism1 expression were identified during the oral glucose tolerance test and long-term high-carbohydrate and high-fat diet feeding experiments. In vivo studies demonstrated that the serum glucose concentration was reduced on treatment with Ism1, accompanied by a significant upregulation of mRNA levels for gk , hk , and pfk genes in hepatopancreas; conversely pepck and g6pase mRNA levels were significantly downregulated in the hepatopancreas under these conditions as well. Furthermore, our primary hepatocyte experiment confirmed that Ism1 could inhibit pepck and g6pase mRNA expression, while promoting gk , hk , and pfk mRNA expression levels. In conclusion, Ism1, in common carp, could participate in the glucose metabolism, which provides essential information for future studies on the function of Ism1.

Neuroinflammation is a key pathogenic process in multiple central nervous system (CNS) disorders. It can lead to neuronal injury and cognitive decline through excessive glial activation and aberrant engagement of the programmed cell death protein-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) checkpoint axis. To address these pathologies, we engineered a PD-1-enriched macrophage-membrane, lactoferrin-modified, PEGylated, glycyrrhizic-acid–loaded biomimetic hybrid liposome (PMLpGL) for dual, precise modulation of the neuroinflammatory microenvironment. PMLpGL alleviates neuronal inhibitory signaling by reversibly sequestering excess PD-L1 via membrane-anchored PD-1, while its cargo GA suppresses high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1)-driven inflammatory cascades, thereby returning inducible PD-1/PD-L1 expression and glial activation toward homeostasis. Physicochemical characterization showed a hydrodynamic diameter of 165 ± 3 nm and a zeta potential of −10.2 ± 0.2 mV. Engineered macrophage membranes displayed marked PD-1 overexpression, and ligand-depletion saturation assays demonstrated specific, saturable PD-1/PD-L1 binding. In a Transwell blood–brain barrier (BBB) model, PMLpGL achieved a 24-h permeability of 22.86 ± 0.14 %, indicating robust in-vitro BBB traversal. In vivo fluorescence imaging showed peak brain accumulation at 24 h with retention to 48 h; liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry further confirmed brain targeting and persistence—at 12 h, brain GA with PMLpGL was ∼48-fold higher than free drug and remained quantifiable at 48 h. Pharmacodynamic evaluations in cells and mice demonstrated that PMLpGL suppresses glial activation and normalizes inducible checkpoint expression; reshapes the cytokine milieu by lowering IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and HMGB1 while increasing IL-10, TGF-β, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor; and restores the synaptic protein synapsin-1. Correspondingly, PMLpGL significantly improved cognition in open-field, novel object recognition, and Morris water maze tests. Collectively, PMLpGL combines PD-1 decoy sequestration with GA-mediated upstream immunomodulation to attenuate neuroinflammatory cascades, protect neurons, and reverse cognitive deficits. By pairing BBB compatibility with microenvironment-precise regulation, this platform offers a promising therapeutic strategy for CNS diseases associated with cognitive decline.

Although immunotherapy has become an established approach in cancer treatment, not all patients exhibit a positive response. Current research on PD-1 primarily focuses on immune cells using conventional methods, yet PD-1 expression on tumor cells is also widespread and plays an increasingly critical role in assessing immunotherapy efficacy. To address this, we developed an electrochemical biosensor capable of specifically detecting PD-1 at both the protein and tumor cellular levels in situ, eliminating the need for sample fixation and thereby streamlining the analytical process. Additionally, our probe enables simultaneous localization analysis of PD-1 through fluorescence signaling. The biosensor integrates a bifunctional probe composed of a nanometal–organic framework (MOF, ZIF-8) conjugated with quantum dots (QDs) and an electrode modified with a carbon nanotube (CNT)–gold nanoparticle (AuNP) nanocomposite. The morphology and performance of the nanocomposite were thoroughly characterized, and the resulting PD-1 biosensor demonstrates high specificity, reproducibility, and sensitivity. To facilitate clinical translation, we successfully applied the biosensor to detect differential PD-1 expression across various tumor cell lines and cancer tissues. This study establishes that our dual-mode electrochemical and fluorescent sensing platform provides a powerful tool for in situ PD-1 detection on tumor cells, offering valuable insights for evaluating tumor immunotherapy responses.

The selective oxidation of cyclohexene (Cy) to cyclohexene oxide (Cy-ep) using O2 remains challenging due to low epoxidation selectivity. In this work, a series of Mo-doped TS-1 (Mo-TS-1) catalysts were successfully synthesized for the epoxidation of Cy under solvent- and initiator-free conditions with O2 as the oxidant. Among them, 5Mo-TS-1 exhibited high catalytic performance, achieving 43.5% Cy conversion and 50.6% selectivity toward Cy-ep. Additionally, valuable byproducts such as 2-cyclohexen-1-ol (Cy-ol) and 2-cyclohexen-1-one (Cy-one) were obtained with yields of 28.0% and 21.4%, respectively. Since both Cy-ol and Cy-one are valuable intermediates in fragrance synthesis, over 43.5% of Cy was effectively converted into high-value products. Quenching experiments and Raman spectroscopy revealed that surface oxygen vacancies (Ov) facilitate the activation of O2 to form ≡Ov‑superoxo species, which abstract hydrogen from the allylic C-H bond of Cy to generate 3-cyclohexenyl radicals (Cy•). These radicals subsequently react with O2 to form Cy-OO•, followed by hydrogen abstraction from another Cy molecule to yield 2-cyclohexene-1-hydroperoxide (Cy-OOH). A positive correlation between Cy-OOH and Cy-ep formation underscores the critical role of Cy-OOH in the epoxidation process. Furthermore, Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of ≡Mo-(η2-O2) peroxo species on the catalyst surface, which preferentially attack the C=C bond of Cy to form Cy-ep. DFT calculations elucidated two distinct O2 activation pathways: In Pathway I, O2 is activated at Ov sites to form ≡Ov‑superoxo, which subsequently reacts with Cy to generate ≡Ov‑peroxo, Cy-OOH, and Cy•. In Pathway II, Mo(V/VI) sites either directly activate O2 or react with peroxo intermediates (≡Ov‑peroxo or Cy-OOH) to form ≡Mo-(η2-O2). This species selectively epoxidizes the alkene bond in Cy to Cy-ep. Notably, the direct activation of O2 at Mo(V/VI) sites bypasses the allylic oxidation route, thereby enhancing the epoxidation selectivity beyond the theoretical limit of 50.0%. This study provides new insight on the importance of surface superoxo and peroxo mediated by Ov and Mo(V/VI) in the epoxidation processes.

Isothiazolinone disinfectants constitute a class of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents due to the pandemic of COVID-19. The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of six distinct isothiazolinone disinfectants on the activity of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (17β-HSD1) in humans and rats, as well as on BeWo cells. We identified IC 50 with 4,5-dichloro-2-octyl-1,2-thiazol-3-one exhibiting the most potent inhibition (8.09 μM for human 17β-HSD1) and 5-chloro-2-methyl-1,2-thiazol-3-one showing the weak inhibition (81.94 μM for human 17β-HSD1) and these chemicals can potently inhibit estradiol production at ≥ 1 μM. Additionally, 4,5-dichloro-2-octyl-1,2-thiazol-3-one and 2-octyl-1,2-thiazol-3-one inhibited rat 17β-HSD1 at IC 50 concentrations of 20.53 and 32.47 μM, respectively. Through mode action analyses, these compounds were found to exert mixed inhibition. Computational docking simulations revealed that isothiazolinone disinfectants interact with the NADPH binding domains of the two enzymes. Bivariate correlation analysis confirmed negative relationships between physicochemical properties such as LogP and heavy atoms, and half maximum inhibition concentrations of these chemicals. 3D-QSAR analysis revealed the presence of hydrophobic and hydrogen bond regions and both positively contribute to the binding. In conclusion, isothiazolinone disinfectants repress human and rat 17β-HSD1, depending on their hydrophobicity and hydrogen bonds.

Sub-1-nm nanowires (NWs) with fascinating physicochemical properties have demonstrated remarkable potential for applications across various fields. However, it remains a great challenge to prepare sub-1-nm NWs with near-infrared (NIR) absorption characteristics and explore their optoelectronic applications, so far. Herein, a novel cation-exchange strategy in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent is introduced to synthesize sub-1-nm PbSe NWs, starting from sub-1-nm ZnSe NWs. Theoretical calculations and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have confirmed that the cation exchange reaction in DMF effectively reduces the barriers for Zn 2+ extraction and Pb 2+ introduction compared to the conventional toluene/methanol system. Notably, the resulting sub-1-nm PbSe NWs exhibit a strong absorption peak at ≈940 nm. Leveraging their unique NIR absorption features and superior carrier transport properties, self-powered photoelectrochemical-type (PEC) photodetectors is fabricated based on sub-1-nm PbSe NWs embedded in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite films. These photodetectors demonstrated exceptional photoresponse performance under 940 nm illumination (8.0 mW cm −2 ), with a typical on/off ratio of 4860, a detectivity of 4.65 × 10 11 Jones, and a responsivity of 113 mA W −1 . This work provides a new approach for developing and investigating NIR photoactive sub-1-nm semiconductor NWs with broad application prospects.

LIM-HD (homeodomain) protein is essential for the specific differentiation of various cells and tissues due to its conserved HD. Within the LIM subclass, the LIM-HD transcription factor 1 alpha ( Lmx1a ) remains poorly characterized in insects. This study investigates the expression patterns of HvLmx1a in the 28-spotted lady beetle, Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata , at both developmental stage and tissue levels. Furthermore, RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated knockdown of HvLmx1a resulted in increased mortality during the early larval stage. Injection of ds HvLmx1a at the beginning of the 4th instar caused a reduction in 20E titer, disrupted normal molting and pupation processes, and led to the emergence of larval-pupal abnormalities. Notably, HvLmx1a expression was significantly down-regulated on d 2 and 4 post-injection, which coincided with a marked inhibition of HvCHS1 and genes associated with 20E and bursicon signaling pathways. Additionally, silencing HvLmx1a induced qualitative changes in male testes and female ovaries, resulting in infertility and increased mortality. Ultimately, these findings suggest that HvLmx1a influences ovarian morphology and development through lipid metabolism. In conclusion, this study provides the first evidence of the diverse physiological roles of Lmx1a in H. vigintioctopunctata and highlight its potential as a target for RNAi-based biological control strategies.

Background Cisplatin (DDP) chemotherapy is commonly used in therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but increased drug resistance has become a huge obstacle. Baicalin (BA) contributed to the sensitivity of NSCLC to DDP. Here, we aimed to further probe the pathophysiological mechanisms of BA in NSCLC. Methods A549 and A549/DDP cells and xenograft mice were treated with BA and DDP. Xenograft mice were treated additionally with the NRF2 inducer (Bardoxolone methyl, BM) and KEAP1 knockdown. The levels of ferritinophagy-related proteins and biomarkers were determined. The autophagosomes were observed. M1 macrophage polarization and the contents of related indicators were analyzed. The involvement of KEAP1/NRF2/HO-1 was determined. Results BA inhibited cell development, and the effect of BA and DDP on cell development was additive. The abundance of ferritinophagy-related proteins and the number of autophagosomes were induced by BA. BA also promoted the transition of GSH to GSSH. BA favored M1 macrophage polarization and affected the expression of related proteins. When BA and DDP combined, these molecular phenomena were further exacerbated. BA induced accumulation of KEAP1 and reduction of NRF2 and HO-1. However, BM and KEAP1 knockdown disrupted the synergistic effects of BA and DDP on inhibiting NSCLC growth. BM and KEAP1 knockdown reversed DDP and BA-promoted protein expression activity and M1 macrophage polarization. Conclusion Our findings suggest that BA is involved in ferritinophagy and macrophage immunity through the KEAP1-NRF2/HO-1 axis, thereby improving the DDP sensitivity in NSCLC, which could provide new candidates for treatment strategies.

Li 2 Mg 3 Zr 1−x Ti x O 6 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1) ceramics were prepared via a solid-state reaction method. Crystal structures, sintering behaviors, micro-structures and microwave dielectric properties of Li 2 Mg 3 Zr 1−x Ti x O 6 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) ceramics were investigated by XRD , SEM and chemical bond theory. XRD results showed that a single phase with the rock-salt structure was formed in all ranges. On the basis of the Rietveld refinement and chemical bond theory, several intrinsic parameters were calculated and connections between intrinsic parameters and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. The substitutions of Ti 4+ for Zr 4+ obviously increased the relative density and improved the quality factors. Variations of ε r could be explained by changes of the polarizability. Q·f values showed the similar trend with the packing fractions, average bond valences and lattice energy of Zr–O bonds. τ ƒ values significantly correlated with the bond energy of Zr–O bonds.

Properties of the underlying hole transport layer (HTL) in perovskite light-emitting devices (PeLEDs) play a critical role in determining the optoelectronic performance through influencing both the charge transport and the quality of the active perovskite emission layer (EML). This work focuses on manipulating the carrier transport behavior and obtaining a high-quality EML film by tailoring the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) HTL with previously unused amino alcohol 3-amino-1-propanol (3AP). The modified PEDOT:PSS rendered a deeper work function that is more suitable for the hole injection from the HTL to EML. More importantly, the 3AP-modified PEDOT:PSS film can induce a low-dimensional perovskite phase that can passivate the defects in the EML, resulting in a significantly improved light emission. Such ameliorations consequently result in a dramatical enhancement in performance of PeLED with a low turn-on voltage of 2.54 V, a maximum luminance of 23033 cd/m2, a highest current efficiency of 29.38 cd/A, a corresponding maximum external quantum efficiency of 9.4%, and a prolonged lifetime of 6.1 h at a proper Cs/Pb ratio.
