Bacterial adhesion and colonization can result in chronic non-healing wounds. Current hydrophilic wound dressings can release antibacterial agents into the wound exudate, but may result in overhydrated wounds, bacterial overgrowth, and even tissue maceration. Hydrophobic dressings are anti-fouling, though ineffective to encapsulate and release bactericidal agents. Combining the advantages of hydrophilic and hydrophobic dressings seems difficult, until the development of superwettability surfaces offers an opportunity for omniphobic dressings from intrinsic hydrophilic polymers. Herein, omniphobic porous hydrogel wound dressings loaded with a zinc imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) are fabricated by a microfluidic-emulsion-templating method. The fabricated porous hydrogel membrane with its reentrant architecture is repellent to blood and body fluids, though intrinsically hydrophilic. This unique combination not only reduces the adhesion of harmful microbes, but also enables the encapsulation and release of antibacterial ingredients to wounded sites from hydrophilic polymer networks. As such, the omniphobic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)@hydrogel porous wound dressing can inhibit bacteria invasion and enable the controlled release of the bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and nontoxic zinc ions. Furthermore, in vivo study of infected full-thickness skin defect models demonstrates that the dressing also accelerates wound closure by promoting angiogenesis and collagen deposition. Therefore, the omniphobic MOFs@hydrogel porous wound dressings are potentially useful for clinical application.

Solvent-evaporated conversion (SEC) and steam-assisted conversion (SAC) have been developed to prepare the typical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) Cu-BTC (HKUST-1) and ZIF-8 using a unique solvent recovery strategy using zeolite. As a green circulation medium, zeolite Na-4A loading and removal of solvent (H 2 O and EtOH) can transport solvent in the vapor phase and avoid solvent condensation, which was the defect in previous SAC syntheses of MOFs, and achieves efficient solvent recovery as well as being an economical and green synthetic process. Moreover, SEC and SAC processes exhibited different mechanisms during the multi-stage reaction and solid diffusion reaction, respectively and both can synthesize the desired products in 12 h. These two methods for MOFs preparation were characterized in detail using XRD, SEM and N 2 adsorption during the different growing stages. According to polar molecules (H 2 O and EtOH) steam-assisted in those synthesis, polar destruction molecules (H 2 O, NH 3 ) adsorption and stability of Cu-BTC and ZIF-8 was investigated.

A facile approach was successfully developed for synthesis of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)-supported magnetic CuFe2O4@Ag@ZIF-8 nanospheres which consist of a paramagnetic CuFe2O4@Ag core and porous ZIF-8 shell. The CuFe2O4nanoparticles (NPs) were first prepared in the presence of CNC and dispersant. Ag NPs were then deposited on the CuFe2O4/CNC composites via an in situ reduction directed by dopamine polymerization (PDA). The CuFe2O4/CNC@Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposite was characterized by TEM, FTIR, XRD, N2adsorption-desorption isotherms, VSM, and XPS. Catalytic studies showed that the CuFe2O4/CNC@Ag@ZIF-8 catalyst had much higher catalytic activity than CuFe2O4@Ag catalyst with the rate constant of 0.64 min−1. Because of the integration of ZIF-8 with CuFe2O4/CNC@Ag that combines the advantaged of each component, the nanocomposites were demonstrated to have an enhanced catalytic activity in heterogeneous catalysis. Therefore, these results demonstrate a new method for the fabrication of CNC-supported magnetic core-shell catalysts, which display great potential for application in biocatalysis and environmental chemistry.Keywords:CuFe2O4nanoparticles;cellulose nanocrystals;Ag nanoparticles;ZIF-8 catalysis;4-nitrophenol reduction

The electronics related to the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) are projected to possess significant market potential. High dielectric constant microwave ceramics used as filters and resonators in 5G have thus attracted great attention. The Ba6−3x(Sm1−yNdy)8+2xTi18O54(x =2/3) ceramic system has aroused people’s interest due to its underlying excellent microwave dielectric properties. In this paper, the relationships between the dielectric constant, Nd-doped content, sintering temperature and the density of Ba6−3x(Sm1−yNdy)8+2xTi18O54(x =2/3) ceramics were studied. The linear regression equation was established by statistical product and service solution (SPSS) data analysis software, and the factors affecting the dielectric constant have been analyzed by using the enter and stepwise methods, respectively. It is found that the model established by the stepwise method is practically significant withY= −71.168 + 6.946x1+ 25.799x3, whereY,x1andx3represent the dielectric constant, Nd content and the density, respectively. According to this model, the influence of density on the dielectric constant is greater than that of Nd doping concentration. We bring the linear regression analysis method into the research field of microwave dielectric ceramics, hoping to provide an instructive for the optimization of ceramic technology.Keywords:microwave dielectric ceramics;Ba6−3x(Sm1−yNdy)8+2xTi18O54(x =2/3) system;dielectric constant;linear regression analysis

Spontaneous abortion (SA) refers to the loss of a pregnancy without external intervention. The runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) is associated with gestational disorders in view of previous studies. However, RUNX3 has not been reported in SA. RUNX3 is significantly upregulated in the placental villi of abortion patients based on the GSE123719 microarray data. Herein, we further validated and found that the expression of RUNX3 in placental villi of SA women was higher than those of induced abortion (IA) women. In vitro , we constructed human RUNX3 overexpression or interference adenovirus vectors to modulate RUNX3 expression in trophoblast cells. Our findings revealed that RUNX3 overexpression accelerated trophoblast cell ferroptosis, while RUNX3 knockdown alleviated erastin-induced ferroptosis. Subsequently, the dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm that RUNX3 bound to the GDF15 promoter to transcriptionally repress GDF15 transcriptional activity. Importantly, GDF15 attenuated the pro-ferroptosis effects of RUNX3 on HTR-8/SVneo cells. In vivo , mouse RUNX3 interference adenovirus vectors were used to silence RUNX3 in mice. The results presented that the reduction of RUNX3 inhibited embryo adsorption rate in SA mice, involving ferroptosis and the interaction between RUNX3 and GDF15. Taken together, this study established that RUNX3 advanced SA progression by enhancing trophoblast ferroptosis via transcriptionally repressing GDF15. These findings may provide novel therapeutic strategies for SA management.

Multi-modal combination therapy for tumors can overcome the limitations of single-modal therapy and bring new opportunities for high-efficient tumor treatment. Nevertheless, how to ingeniously design functionalized nanocarriers to mediate the synergistict effects among various therapeutic approaches remains a core challenge. In this study, we developed a polydopamine (PDA) coated outside and glucose oxidase (GOx) adsorbed inside copper-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (CZ8) with metformin hydrochloride (MET) / doxorubicin (DOX) as a multifunctional nano-codelivery system, abbreviated as PMDGCZ8, which could focus more on the synergy and continuity of multiple therapies including photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), starving tumor therapy (STT) and chemotherapy (CT). Herein, PMDGCZ8 innovatively combined the gating effect of PDA membrane with the pH sensitivity of CZ8 skeleton to form a dual-responsive bomb that could trigger release on demand and significantly improve the accuracy of tumor localization. Furthermore, we also incorporated the strategies of reshaping the tumor hypoxia and immunosuppressive microenvironment into the synergistic treatment process in order to achieve a comprehensive anti-tumor ecological network. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments suggested that PMDGCZ8 significantly enhanced drug accumulation on tumors, reduced systemic toxicity, activated anti-tumor immune response, further inhibited the recurrence and metastasis, and consequently was expected to become a new type of nano-delivery platform with great development potential.

In this work, the response of an electrodeless quartz crystal microbalance (EL-QCM) in gaseous phase was investigated by an impedance analysis method. The influence of the gap size, area, position and shape of the electrodes on the resonant and equivalent circuit parameters of the EL-QCM was analyzed and discussed in a modified Butterworth–Van Dyke model. Compared with a conventional QCM, the intensity of resonant peak in EL-QCM is reduced remarkably. An EL-QCM has a quality factor in the order of 10 5 even at an air gap of 1 cm, ensuring an excellent frequency stability of this type of sensor. The excitation electrode can be mounted beside of the center of the quartz disc or outside the detection cell if needed, which offers the convenience in combination with mass and optical measurements. As an example of applications, two EL-QCM sensors in a parallel combination were used to monitor the adsorption processes of iodine vapor on quartz surface and zeolitic-imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) film. The transfer process of iodine between two ZIF-8 films was investigated by the series combination of two EL-QCM sensors.

Enzymes immobilized in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted great attention as a promising hybrid material. In the study, a novel biomimetic mineralization encapsulation process for a highly stable and easily reusable catalase (CAT)@ZIF-8 composite has been designed. This immobilization process provides a high enzyme loading of 70 wt %. The CAT@ZIF-8 composites exhibited a much lower K m value and better enzyme activity than those of free CAT, exhibiting good stability against enzymatic hydrolysis and protein denaturation under harsh conditions. The inhibitory effects of pesticides such as pH, temperature, solvent (i.e., methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide and tetrahydrofuran) and storage at room temperature (6 months) on the activity of free and immobilized catalase enzyme were investigated. The CAT@MOF composites also exhibited excellent reusability, an obvious advantage for treating a wastewater from food processing. The CAT@MOF developed is promising for the efficient removal of H 2 O 2 under harsh conditions.

Herein, an iron-doped ZIF-8-loaded multi-walled carbon nanotube (FZM) was synthesized and its adsorption performance on tetracycline (TC) was investigated. The experimental conditions (solution pH, temperature, adsorbent dose) were optimized by Box–Behnken design (BBD) in response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that the adsorption effect of TC by FZM is optimal under the conditions of temperature = 298 K, pH = 6, and contact time = 360 min. The adsorption processes of TC by FZM follow the pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models, indicating that chemisorption is the dominant factor and the adsorption reaction is multi-layer, with a theoretical maximum saturation capacity of 1111.11 mg/g at 298 K. The adsorption thermodynamic results indicate that the adsorption of TC by FZM is a spontaneous and endothermic process. The mechanism of TC adsorption by FZM possibly occurs through hydrogen bonding, surface complexation, π–π interaction, and electrostatic interaction. From the statistical results, the optimal adsorption capacity of TC by FZM is 599.78 mg/g at a pH of 7.1, a temperature of 312.5 K, and an adsorbent dose of 64.43 mg/L, with a deviation of 1.73% from the actual value. Furthermore, regeneration experiments demonstrate that FZM has excellent reusability with a 15% loss of adsorption capacity after four cycles. This study provides some insights to study the adsorption behavior of TC by MOFs and the optimization of the adsorption experimental conditions, and also shows the potential of FZM for TC removal.

This study demonstrates a green and sustainable strategy for efficient single-step recovery of cerium through the rational design of core–shell Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 nanocomposites. The material is comprehensively characterized in terms of morphology, magnetic properties, functional groups, and pore structure. Adsorption studies reveal pH-dependent recovery behavior, with optimal performance in the pH range of 3.9–7.2. Analysis of isotherms and thermodynamics confirms the endothermic nature of the recovery process, showing a monotonic increase in the maximum adsorption capacity from 110 mg g −1 to 185 mg g −1 as temperature rises from 283 K to 328 K. Notably, the effect of ionic strength (IS) suggests that NaCl significantly enhances Ce(III) recovery efficiency, while K 2 SO 4 exhibits marked suppression. Competitive adsorption experiments reveal stronger interference from heavy REEs (Ho 3+ /Tm 3+ ) compared to light REEs (La 3+ ). The fundamental mechanisms are elucidated through multiscale interaction analysis, revealing a synergistic process combining dual-phase transition dynamics and photoinduced redox reactions. The surface architecture of magnetic core evolves from initial ZnO-dominant nanocrystals to ZnO/CeO 2 heterostructures, and ultimately stabilizes as a CeO 2 -enriched framework with increasing Ce(III) concentrations. Moreover, across the time scale, the speciation of surface-adsorbed cerium underwent a gradual transition from Ce(III)-dominance to Ce(IV)-dominance, ultimately forming a regime where Ce(IV) (CeO 2 ) served as the primary species. This progressive transformation enables in situ immobilization and single-step recovery of Ce(III) under mild conditions, establishing a novel paradigm for REEs recovery technology.

In this study, a novel Z-scheme ZnO-AgCl-Ag photocatalyst was prepared by converting the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 to ZnO via a simple pyrolysis method and using a physical wet mixing method. The crystal structure, microstructure, elemental distribution, and photoelectrochemical properties of the catalyst were systematically characterized using various analytical techniques. The characterization results showed that the introduction of AgCl/Ag into ZnO exhibited a higher light absorption capacity as well as a lower transmission resistance. Photocatalytic degradation experiments showed that the ZA-3 sample achieved a 99.97 % degradation rate of 10 mg/L RhB in 24 min, which was 2.3 higher than that of ZIF-8-derived ZnO. In addition, we systematically investigated the effects of initial RhB concentration, solution pH, anion interference, and catalyst recycling cycle on the photocatalytic activity, demonstrating the stability and applicability of the composites under different conditions. In addition, radical trapping experiments were conducted to probe the photocatalytic reaction mechanism, and a Z-scheme charge transfer pathway was confirmed, in which photogenerated electrons were effectively separated and transferred at the Z-scheme heterojunction interface through the conductive channel of Ag nanoparticles as carriers, which significantly improved the photocatalytic activity. In this study, the advantages of MOFS were rationally and effectively utilized to design and prepare Z-scheme photocatalysts with UV–visible response.

Phomopsis sp. XP-8, an endophytic fungus from the bark of Tu-Chung ( Eucommia ulmoides Oliv) showed capability to biosynthesize pinoresinol (Pin) and pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG) from glucose (glu) and phenylalanine (Phe). To verify the mass flow in the biosynthesis pathway, [ 13 C 6 ]-labeled glu and [ 13 C 6 ]-labeled Phe were separately fed to the strain as sole substrates and [ 13 C 6 ]-labeled products were detected by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry. As results, [ 13 C 6 ]-labeled Phe was incorporated into [ 13 C 6 ]-cinnamylic acid (Ca) and p -coumaric acid ( p -Co), and [ 13 C 12 ]-labeled Pin, which revealed that the Pin benzene ring came from Phe via the phenylpropane pathway. [ 13 C 6 ]-Labeled Ca and p -Co, [ 13 C 12 ]-labeled Pin, [ 13 C 18 ]-labeled pinoresinol monoglucoside (PMG), and [ 13 C 18 ]-labeled PDG products were found when [ 13 C 6 ]-labeled glu was used, demonstrating that the benzene ring and glucoside of PDG originated from glu. It was also determined that PMG was not the direct precursor of PDG in the biosynthetic pathway. The study identified the occurrence of phenylalanine- lignan biosynthesis pathway in fungi at the level of mass flow.
