Mitochondrial dynamics play a crucial role in glioma progression by regulating cellular metabolism, proliferation, and survival. This study investigated the effects of desmopressin (dDAVP), a synthetic vasopressin analog, on mitochondrial function in human U87 MG glioma cells. Our results demonstrate that dDAVP treatment induces dose-dependent cytotoxicity while upregulating vasopressin type 2 receptor expression. The compound significantly increased oxidative stress markers and impaired mitochondrial function, as evidenced by reduced ATP production, compromised respiratory chain activity, and decreased oxygen consumption. Furthermore, dDAVP promoted mitochondrial fragmentation through Drp1 activation, enhancing its phosphorylation at Ser616 and subsequent mitochondrial translocation. Mechanistically, dDAVP was found to activate CaMKII signaling, which mediated the observed changes in Drp1 phosphorylation and mitochondrial dynamics. The CaMKII inhibitor KN-93 effectively reversed dDAVP-induced mitochondrial fragmentation, Drp1 phosphorylation, and energy metabolism impairment. The AVPR2 antagonist tolvaptan blocked dDAVP effects, confirming receptor specificity. These findings reveal that dDAVP disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis in glioma cells through AVPR2-mediated CaMKII-dependent regulation of Drp1 activity, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cell damage. The study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying dDAVP's effects on glioma cells and suggests potential therapeutic applications targeting the CaMKII-Drp1 axis in glioma treatment.

ABSTRACT The electrochemical behavior of MgCl 2 and the co-deposition mechanisms of Mg and Sr in the SrCl 2 −KCl eutectic system were evaluated using various electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV), and open-circuit potential (OCP) analysis. It was observed the Mg(II) reduction on the tungsten electrode in SrCl 2 −KCl melt occurred in a single-step process involving the transfer of two electrons, exhibiting a quasi-reversible mode. The electrochemical co-deposition of Mg and Sr in the SrCl 2 −KCl−MgCl 2 melt involved the formation of two types of Mg−Sr intermetallic compounds. The evolution in the co-deposition mechanism of the nucleation type with changing overpotential was explored through chronoamperometry (CA). It is shown that the nucleation pattern on the electrode surface was depended on the substrate materials and the electrode reaction products. Early-stage nucleation was attributed to Mg(II) reduction under all overpotential conditions. With the co-deposition of Mg and Sr, Mg(II) was reduced to form the Mg nucleus on the electrode surface, followed by underpotential deposition of Sr(II) on the Mg surface accompanied by Mg deposition simultaneously. Additionally, increasing MgCl 2 concentration in the SrCl 2 −KCl melt resulted in a higher current density during the Mg−Sr co-deposition process.

Nitrogen doping has been frequently adopted as a useful strategy to endow wide band gap semiconductors with visible light photocatalytic activities. Nevertheless, factors that may influence the effects of nitrogen doping are seldom touched. In this work, we synthesized a series of complex perovskites Sr3BNb2O9 (B = Mg, Ca and Sr) and applied nitrogen doping strategies to these compounds. Our results suggest that a wealth of important parameters such as structural distortions, cation ordering, nitrogen uptake, visible light absorption and surface hydrophilicity are all strongly correlated with cations in the B site. Accommodating large Sr cations in the B site helps to reduce structural distortions and the level of cation ordering. It is also helpful to increase nitrogen uptake, visible light absorption and surface hydrophilicity, all of which seem to be responsible for a much higher photocatalytic activity for water oxidation reactions. The strong correlations between B site cations and the aforementioned parameters open a new avenue for the design and development of efficient photocatalytic properties of these promising materials.

Infected bone defects are characterised by inadequate local blood supply and the formation of bacterial biofilms, which impede bone tissue regeneration and repair, presenting a significant clinical challenge. In this study, we developed a bifunctional scaffold combining near-infrared (NIR)-responsive antibacterial activity with osteogenic properties by co-electrospinning photothermally active copper hydroxyphosphate (Cu2(OH)PO4, CuHP) and osteogenic magnesium-calcium phosphate (Mg-CaP) into poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) membranes. Near-infrared (NIR) irradiation activates the photothermal response of CuHP in nanofiber membrane scaffolds, effectively killing bacteria through photothermal therapy (PTT), while the released Mg-CaP synergistically promotes osteogenesis. Animal studies have revealed that the scaffold effectively inhibit infections while accelerating bone healing, offering a promising strategy for infected bone defects.

Lead-free multiferroic composite ceramics, KNbO 3 -AFe 2 O 4 (KNO-AFO, A = Mg, Zn, Ni, Co), are synthesized. The microstructure and property characterizations reveal that the introduced AFO can intrinsically modulate the optical/ferroelectric/ferromagnetic properties due to the independent existence of the two phases in the composite ceramics, including the significantly narrowing of the optical bandgap from the intrinsic ~3.2 eV of KNO down to ~1.2 eV, of which the modulation behavior is in line with the prediction of the first-principles calculations, and more importantly, the maintaining of the excellent ferromagneticity (with a remnant magnetization value of 0.8 – 36.5 emu/g) and ferroelectricity (~1 – 4 µC/cm 2 ) but for slightly deteriorating of the leakage as compared to the anti-magnetic KNO. In addition, different spinel ferrites composited to KNO present different functions for the ferroelectric/ferromagnetic properties, i.e., the ortho-spinel phase mainly retaining the ferroelectricity of the composite ceramics while the anti-spinel phase responsible for the ferromagnetism , especially in the KNO-CFO ceramics that not only have the strongest narrowing effect of the optical bandgap but also demonstrate the most excellent magnetic properties . This makes the composite ceramics promising for a wide range of applications in ferric-based storage and photovoltaics , and should offer more options for the research of multifunctional materials and devices.

The electro-deoxidation of MgO does not proceed efficiently due to the electrical insulation properties of MgO and large molar volume of metallic magnesium. In this experiment, an attempt was done to prepare Mg-Zr alloy from their oxides using the method of electro-deoxidation. The electrochemical mechanism of the deoxidation process of MgO, ZrO 2 and MgO-ZrO 2 composite was studied through cyclic voltammetry using metallic cavity electrode (MCE). There was an intermediate phase (Zr 3 O) in the reduction process of ZrO 2 . The electro-deoxidation of MgO occurred for MgO-ZrO 2 composite in CaCl 2 -NaCl molten salt. Moreover, the electro-deoxidation of MgO was promoted by the addition of polyvinyl butyral (PVB). The formation of metal phase Mg was confirmed by XRD, EDS, Raman spectroscopy, and inductively-coupled plasma spectroscopy. The electro-deoxidation products showed significant differences with the concentration of PVB and the ratio between MgO and ZrO 2 . The electro-deoxidation of MgO and ZrO 2 was favorable when the PVB concentration was 5.0% (wt.%). Pure metal phase of Mg-Zr alloys was formed when the molar ratio of MgO and ZrO 2 was 1:2. The atomic fraction of Mg in the electrolytic product was ca. 28.0 mol.%. This work shows that MgO could be directly electro-deoxidized to Mg without the formation of intermediate phase oxide.

The generation, transfer, and collection of plasmon-derived hot electrons represent a distinctive pathway for photodetectors to utilize solar energy. However, previously reported devices have a low internal quantum efficiency due to excessively high Schottky barrier. The coupling distance between working medium and metal nanoparticles (NPs) is one of the key factors affecting the performance of optoelectronic devices. We constructed a dual-surface plasmon-enhanced (Mg, Zn)O-ultraviolet (UV) photodetector by applying Pt NPs and found that the assembled device exhibited broad sensitivity ranging from 340 to 370 nm at room temperature. Intense dual plasmonic resonance coupling is induced in a hybrid structure of two metallic layers separated by uniform ZnO-based films. Using surface plasmon-enhanced materials, the changes in the refractive index of ZnO/Pt/MgZnO and MgZnO/Pt/ZnO heterogeneous double-layer in the dielectric environment are beneficial for the tunneling of hot electrons. ZnO/Pt/MgZnO is superior to MgZnO/Pt/ZnO in terms of responsivity and response time. The responsivity of the ZnO/Pt/MgZnO device peaks at 2.87 A/W, exhibiting the great potential of dual plasmonic resonance coupling in a UV photodetector, which was finally investigated via Mie scattering. The response time of the photodetectors in a steady-state is 0.2 s, 0.3 s, while 0.1 s, 0.73 s is the response time of the photodetectors (PDs), which paves the way for future application advancements in the field of photodetection, imaging, photovoltaics, and photochemistry.

In this study, the impact of codoping Mg and Ti on the thermoelectric performance of AgSbTe2 materials was investigated. Through a two-step synthesis process involving slow cooling and spark plasma sintering, AgSb0.98–xMg0.02TixTe2 samples were prepared. The introduction of Mg and Ti dopants effectively suppressed the formation of the undesirable Ag2Te phase. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that Ti doping facilitated the band convergence, leading to a reduction in the effective mass of the carriers. This optimization enhanced carrier mobility and, consequently, electrical conductivity. Additionally, the codoping strategy resulted in the reinforcement of point defects, which contributed to a decrease in lattice thermal conductivity. The AgSb0.98–xMg0.02TixTe2 sample achieved a maximum figure of merit (ZT) value of 1.45 at 523 K, representing an 87% improvement over the undoped AgSbTe2 sample. The average ZT value over the temperature range of 323–573 K was 1.09, marking a significant enhancement in thermoelectric performance. This research demonstrates the potential of Mg and Ti codoping as a strategy to improve the thermoelectric properties of AgSbTe2-based materials.

Epoxy resin (EP) coating has high hydrophilicity and poor long-term corrosion resistance . In order to improve its protection ability, an EP-graphene oxide (GO)/SiO 2 multifunctional coating is fabricated on Mg-Zn-Ca alloy in this study, through a spin/spray assisted self-assembly technique. The morphologies and microstructures of the coated samples were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Hydrophobicity and self-cleaning property of the composite coating were tested by an optical contact angle meter and black graphite powders . The stability of the superhydrophobic surface was tested by rubbing with sandpaper and immersing in corrosion solution. The corrosion resistance of coated samples was tested in 3.5 % NaCl solution using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The GO sheets are uniformly dispersed in EP coating. EP-GO acts as a dense bottom layer, effectively promoting its adhesion with the superhydrophobic SiO 2 coating, and the water contact angle (WCA) values range from 158° to 168°. After stability testing, the WCA value of the superhydrophobic coating remains at a high level (115°–155°). The R ct of this composite coating was remarkably increased to 1.0 × 10 22 Ω/cm 2 , implying that the corrosion resistance was improved by eighteen orders of magnitude compared to bare substrate. These results show that the combination of the labyrinth effect and the hydrophobic surface extend the corrosion path and reduce the contact area of the corrosion solution with the coating, which strengthens the barrier effect of the composite coating. The composite coating exhibits superior corrosion resistance durability and self-cleaning property.

A new eutectic mixture phase change material containing magnesium nitrate hexahydrate and lithium nitrate has been successfully prepared, which can be applied in the field of residential radiator heating due to the suitable phase change temperature and high latent heat. Further, by physical blending magnesium nitrate hexahydrate/lithium nitrate eutectic mixtures and expanded graphite, the new composites were prepared. The crystalline structure, thermal properties, corrosion performance of eutectic phase change materials were systematically measured. The results showed that the best eutectic mixtures had a phase change temperature of 72.35 °C and latent heat of 170.32 kJ/kg, with a little supercooling degree. The thermal conductivity was effectively improved by adding expanded graphite. Meanwhile, corrosion tests suggested aluminum and stainless steel 304 could be the preferred choices as the container. Overall, the prepared eutectic composite materials with superior performances could be a promising candidate for the residential radiator heating field.

Metal–organic frameworks often lose CO 2 capacity in hot, humid flue gas because H 2 O competes for open metal sites (OMSs). Here we report a dual-stabilized, wood-based adsorbent in which Mg-MOF-74 is grown on an aminated wood sponge and overcoated with an ultrathin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer, coupling support immobilization with interfacial hydrophobization while preserving access to OMSs. Under flue-gas-relevant conditions (323 K, 50% RH), the material delivers a CO 2 uptake of 1.68 mmol·g −1 (≈89% of its dry-state capacity) and an IAST CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 144 for a 50/50 mixture at 323 K. Humid-gas breakthrough tests confirm robust separation performance. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations attribute the humidity tolerance and selectivity to the synergy between accessible OMSs and PDMS-mediated interfacial polarity, without increasing the isosteric heat of adsorption, thereby enabling energy-efficient regeneration. The framework retains its crystallinity after 30 days of water immersion, and a techno-economic estimate projects a material cost of approximately US$10.36 kg −1 at a 1000 t·yr −1 scale. This scalable architecture reconciles capacity, selectivity, humidity resistance, and cost for post-combustion CO 2 capture.

Amorphous SiO 2 /MgO/MgSiO 3 coatings formed on AZ91D via MAO in TEOS electrolyte. • Due to its dense layer, this coating exhibits high corrosion resistance at 50 Hz. • Amorphous SiO 2 /MgO/MgSiO 3 coatings show optimal thermal control at 500 Hz. • Explains the growth mechanism of the coating. In this paper, AZ91D magnesium alloy is used as the substrate, and thermal control and corrosion resistant composite coatings are prepared by micro-arc oxidation technology in tetraethyl orthosilicate hydrolysis electrolyte at different pulse frequencies (50 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz). The effects of pulse frequency on the microstructure, corrosion resistance, and thermal control performance of the coatings are systematically studied. The results show that the coatings are mainly composed of SiO 2 , MgO, and MgSiO 3 . As the frequency decreases, the content of amorphous SiO 2 in the coating increases, and both the thickness and roughness increase significantly. Electrochemical tests show that the coating prepared at 50 Hz exhibits the optimal corrosion resistance, with a corrosion current density as low as 1.017 × 10⁻⁸ A/cm², and its dense inner layer resistance increases by 2.8 orders of magnitude compared with that of the coating prepared at 2000 Hz. In terms of thermal control performance, the coating at 500 Hz shows the best comprehensive thermal control performance, with an emissivity of 0.89 and an absorptivity as low as 0.30, which is attributed to the moderate thickness (about 143 μm) and roughness, the dense structure, and the intrinsically low absorptivity and high emissivity characteristics of amorphous SiO 2 . In this study, SiO 2 /MgO/MgSiO 3 composite coatings are prepared on the Mg substrate surface, which provides a new idea for the preparation of multifunctional coatings.
