In the calcium looping CO 2 capture process, using CO in the flue gas to reduce NO at a high molar ratio of CO to NO (e.g., above 10:1) can achieve efficient removal of NO. However, the lots of unreacted CO causes secondary pollution. In this study, a novel Cu/Ce co-modified CaO was proposed for cyclic CO 2 capture and the catalytic NO reduction at a low CO:NO molar ratio (e.g., 2:1). The experimental findings indicate that Cu/Ce modification improves the performance of CaO in both catalytic NO reduction and carbonation. The Cu/Ce co-modified CaO contained the optimal Cu/Ce/Ca molar ratio of 1:5:100 possesses both NO removal and CO conversion efficiencies of above 99 %, along with CO 2 removal efficiency exceeding 88%. Microscopic analysis determines that the electron transfer between Cu and Ce facilitates the conversion of lattice oxygen into surface oxygen, mitigating the competition between CO 2 and CO for surface oxygen. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations demonstrate that CO/NO/CO 2 exhibits non-competitive adsorption behavior on Cu/Ce co-modified CaO. Consequently, Cu/Ce-modified CaO possesses superior catalysis for efficient NO reduction by CO at low CO:NO molar ratio in calcium looping process.

Magnesium and its alloys are undoubtedly ideal candidates for manufacturing new bioabsorbable vascular stents thanks to their good bio-absorbability and better mechanical characteristics. However, the bottlenecks that restrict their clinical application, such as fast corrosion in vivo , poor hemocompatibility, and inferior surface endothelial regeneration ability, have not been resolved fundamentally. In this study, a polydopamine (PDA) intermediate layer covalently linked with acrylamide was first constructed on the alkali-heat-treated magnesium alloys, followed by in-situ polymerizing methacryloyloxyethyl sulfonyl betaine (SBMA) and acrylamide (AAM) to fabricate a hydrogel coating on the surface by ultraviolet (UV) polymerization. Finally, bivalirudin and selenocystamine were sequentially grafted onto the hydrogel coating surface to construct a multifunctional bioactive corrosion-resistant coating with excellent antifouling, anticoagulant performance, and catalytic liberation of NO (nitric oxide) to facilitate endothelial cell (EC) growth. The outcomes verified that the bioactive coating could not only significantly resist corrosion of magnesium alloys, but also had excellent hydrophilicity and the ability to selectively promote albumin adsorption, which could prevent platelet adhesion and activation and significantly diminish the hemolysis occurrence, thereby considerably facilitating its anticoagulant properties. At the same time, due to the hydrophilicity and extracellular matrix-like characteristics of the hydrogel coating, the coating could promote EC growth and upregulate the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and NO of endothelial cells (ECs). In the case of catalytic NO-liberation, the catalytic release of NO could further significantly improve blood compatibility, EC growth, and functional expressions of ECs. Therefore, the method in this study provides an effective strategy to fabricate the bioactive hydrogel coating that can simultaneously resist corrosion and enhance the biocompatibility of magnesium-based alloys, thereby effectively promoting research and application of magnesium alloy in intravascular stents.

Alkali metals can control the redox potential of a reaction system as well as modify the surface electronic structure and improve the stability of a catalyst. Herein, we doped an alkali metal into a cerium manganese-based three-dimensional ordered macroporous (3DOM) catalyst for NO oxidation and soot combustion; the doping was achieved using a self-sacrificing polymethyl methacrylate template and an excess impregnation method. The introduction of alkali metals can provide a rough pore surface, which increases the contact area between the catalyst and the reactant gas. Meanwhile, alkali metal doping can promote the formation of more oxygen vacancies and unsaturated structures and increase the catalytic activity for NO oxidation and soot combustion. 5% K-doped CM-5K achieved an NO conversion rate of 81.9% at 250 °C and of nearly 100% at 320 °C. CM-5K also demonstrated remarkable stability in cycling stability tests for NO oxidation and soot combustion. This work provides a promising catalyst candidate for NO oxidation and soot combustion in practical application.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) offers potential for combating bacterial infections through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the antibacterial efficiency of PDT is largely impeded by the limited photon absorption of photosensitizers and the short diffusion length and lifespan of ROS. Herein, we present a light-harvesting platform based on l -arginine-modified photonic hydrogels loaded with new indocyanine green (PG@Arg/IR820) for synergizing the slow photon effect with NO gas therapy to enhance PDT antibacterial efficiency. Upon near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, PG@Arg/IR820 can maximize the utilization of photons via the slow photon effect to generate sufficient ROS, which not only acts as the primary bactericidal agent in PDT but also triggers l -arginine to generate NO. NO exhibits a long diffusion distance and lifespan and can freely diffuse to inhibit distant bacterial growth, demonstrating a vital complementary advantage in bacterial inactivation by ROS. The synergistic effect of the slow photon effect combined with NO gas therapy allows PG@Arg/IR820 to intensify bacterial destruction and enhance PDT antibacterial efficiency. This antibacterial system sheds light on an advisable design principle for efficient antibacterial activities in photodynamic inactivation.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) shows promise in cancer treatments due to its good spatiotemporal selectivity and minimal invasiveness. However, PTT has some problems such as excessive heat damage to normal tissues, tumor thermo-resistance caused by heat shock proteins (HSPs), and limited efficacy of monotherapy. Here, we construct a patch named “partitioned microneedles” (PMN-SNAP/CuS), which separates the “catalyst” bovine serum albumin-based copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS@BSA NPs) and the “reactant” S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) into different regions of microneedles, for enhancing mild PTT (mPTT) of melanoma. PMN-SNAP/CuS showed an excellent photothermal effect, Fenton-like catalytic activity, and nitric oxide (NO) generation ability. The combination of NO and reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by PMN-SNAP/CuS effectively blocked the synthesis of HSPs at the source and enhanced the efficacy of mPTT. Both in vitro and in vivo results proved that PMN-SNAP/CuS significantly enhanced the inhibition of melanoma under 808 nm laser irradiation. In conclusion, our partitioned microneedle strategy based on the combination of enhanced mPTT and gas therapy (GT) provides a promising approach to enhance the therapeutic effect on melanoma.

CS- x ( x = 1, 2, 4, 6) nanoparticles have been successfully prepared by simple hydrothermal method combined with calcination process, and the calcination time is adjusted to optimize micro-structure characterization for their enhanced NO-sensing. The techniques of XRD, Raman, SEM, TEM, TGA, DSC, BET, and XPS are used to study their phase structure, micro-morphology, thermal decomposition process and surface states, then the possible gas-sensitive mechanism is analyzed. Results show that the typical CS-2 sensor has the maximum response of 130–50 ppm NO at 90 ℃, the short response/recovery time of 40/45 s, and the low detection limit of 0.1 ppm (1.18). It also has the reliable NO selectivity against to other interfering gases, good repeatability and high stability. Its enhanced NO-sensing performance may be due to the optimization of pore structure by adjusting the calcination process based on particles adhesion and mass transfer, which increases the pore size and specific surface area that could provide the channel and active sites for gas diffusion and adsorption, thus further promoting the gas-sensing reaction. The experimental methods and ideas of pore structure regulation provide a new way for the design of high-performance sensitive materials.

The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and pneumatotherapy is emerging as one of the most effective strategies for increasing cancer treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects. Photodynamic forces affect nitric oxide (NO) levels as activated photosensitizers produce NO, and NO levels in the tumor and microenvironment directly impact tumor cell responsiveness to PDT. In this paper, 3-benzenesulfonyl-4-(1-hydroxy ether)-1,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxide NO donor–silicon phthalocyanine coupling (SiPc–NO) was designed and prepared into self-assembled nanoparticles (SiPc–NO@NPs) by precipitation method. By further introducing arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD) on the surface of nanoparticles, NO-photosensitizer delivery systems (SiPc–NO@RGD NPs) with photo-responsive and tumor-targeting properties were finally prepared and preliminarily evaluated in terms of their formulation properties, NO release, and photosensitizing effects. Furthermore, high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency and high PDT efficiency in two breast cancer cell lines (human MCF-7 and mouse 4T1) under irradiation were also demonstrated. The novel SiPc–NO@RGD NPs show great potential for application in NO delivery and two-photon bioimaging-guided photodynamic tumor therapy.

Photocatalysis is recognized as one of the most promising techniques for environment purification. However, the inconvenient recovery of powder photocatalysts significantly impeded their practical applications. Immobilization of the photocatalysts on supports to form monolithic photocatalysts is an effective method to solve this problem. Herein, a monolithic photocatalyst Bi 12 TiO 20 /Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 /SiOC is fabricated by growing optimal Bi 12 TiO 20 /Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 S-scheme heterojunction onto 3D-printed porous SiOC support. On one side, S-scheme heterojunction facilitates the separation of photoinduced electrons and holes while retaining their strong redox ability. On the other side, the porous structure favors mass transport and improves light harvesting by reflecting the light several times. Under simulated solar light irradiation, the NO removal efficiency of the monolithic photocatalyst Bi 12 TiO 20 /Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 /SiOC is 16.4 %. Furthermore, the composite has good stability and reusability, suggesting its great potential in practical application. The possible photocatalytic mechanism is proposed according to systematic experiments and density functional theory (DFT). This work provides a rational reference for constructing efficient photocatalysts for environmental purification.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a celebrated signaling molecule involved in diverse vital physiological and pathophysiological processes. Thus, rapid detection of NO in situ is quite significant due to its large diffusion and short half-time. Herein, a new water-soluble conjugated polymer (PBFB-PDA-NMe3+) with an o-diaminophenyl group in the side chain is designed and synthesized as a fluorescence probe for ultrarapid and sensitive detection of endogenous NO via photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. In the presence of NO, NO can be specifically trapped by o-diaminophenyl group and react with it to form benzotriazole derivative, which leads to the PET being inhibited. The fluorescence of probe thus significantly turns on. Most importantly, the assay is completed within 1 min without further treatments. Furthermore, this probe can rapidly image intracellular NO in A549 cell and S. aureus bacteria only incubating for 15 min. In addition, this probe is highly selective, which can clearly discriminate NO from other reactive species such as NO3–, NO, H2O2, •OH, GSH, cysteine, and ascorbic acid. Hence, this probe with good water-solubility demonstrates the ultra rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of endogenous NO, which is advantageous to investigate NO-related biological processes.

In the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, vascular scaffold materials play an extremely important role. The appropriate substrate chemistries and 15 dynes/cm 2 physiological fluid shear stress (FSS) are both required to ensure normal physiological activity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The present study reported the collective influence of substrate chemistries and FSS on HUVECs in the sense of its biological functions. The CH 3 , NH 2 , and OH functional groups were adopted to offer a variety of substrate chemistries on glass slides by the technology of self-assembled monolayers, whereas FSS was generated by a parallel-plate fluid flow system. Substrate chemistries on its own by no means had noticeable effects on eNOS, ATP, NO, and PGI 2 expressions, while FSS stimuli enhanced their production. While substrate chemistries, as well as FSS, were both exerted, the releases of ATP, NO, and PGI 2 were dependent on substrate chemistries. Study of F-actin organization and focal adhesions (FAs) formation of HUVECs before FSS exposure proves that F-action organization and FAs formation followed similar chemistry-dependence. Hereby proposed a feasible mechanism, that is, the F-actin organization and FAs formation of HUVECs are controlled by substrate chemistries, further advancing the modulation of FSS-triggered responses of HUVECs.

Fe-BEA catalysts are active for the NH3-SCR of NO. For industrial application, a binder should be added to the Fe-BEA catalysts to make them tightly adhere to the monoliths. The addition of alumina and zirconia as binders to the Fe-BEA led to a different effect on NO conversion. The catalytic activity of the mixed samples was evaluated by the temperature programmed procedure in a flow-reactor system, and the mechanism was analyzed via SEM, BET, XRD and XPS. It was found that larger iron particles were formed by the migration of parent iron particles in the Fe-BEA catalyst with alumina. This led to the increase of Fe 3+ magnitude and iron cluster, enhancing the abilities of NO oxidation and storage. Accordingly, the SCR activity increased slightly in low temperature but decreased sharply in high temperature. For the Fe-BEA with zirconia sample, NO oxidation and storage abilities decreased due to the less iron clusters. The increase of Fe 3+ magnitude resulted in higher catalytic oxidation ability, which gave rise to little change in the SCR activity compared with the Fe-BEA.

Skin necrosis is the most serious complication of flap plastic surgery, which means the failure of the operation. Systemic administration rarely benefits the local area and can lead to side effects, while topical administration has poor permeability due to the skin barrier function. Currently, few of these common medical interventions can totally respond to the blood supply of the skin after surgery. Herein, a soluble microneedle (MN) patch made of hyaluronic acid was used to target the ischemic area in a painless and precise manner for transdermal drug delivery. Based on the important role of nitric oxide (NO) in angiogenesis, the thermosensitive NO donor (BNN6) and gold nanorods (GNRs) acting as photothermal agents were introduced into the microneedles (MNs). The hyperthermia induced by GNRs under near infrared (NIR, 808 nm) irradiation could enhance the penetration of drugs and facilitate NO release from BNN6. A series of corresponding experiments proved that the system played a significant promotion role in vascular regeneration, providing a painless, precise and NO-assisted treatment method for the ischemic perforator flaps.
