Pirarubicin (THP) is one of the classic chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment. It is often clinically limited because of its cardiotoxicity. The occurrence and development of THP-mediated chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity (CRC) may be reversed by RING finger protein 10 (RNF10). This study was performed with the aim of evaluating the inhibitory effect of RNF10 on THP-mediated CRC and its molecular mechanism. In vivo, we found that the expression of RNF10 decreased in THP-induced CRC rats, accompanied by Meox2 inhibition and AP-1 activation, resulting in increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. After small interfering RNA (siRNA) and lentivirus transfection (Lv) of RNF10 in vitro, the expression of RNF10, Meox2, and AP-1 proteins and the degree of cardiomyocyte apoptosis were detected. We found that overexpression of RNF10 in H9C2 cardiomyocytes significantly promoted Meox2 and inhibited AP-1, alleviated apoptosis, and showed further inhibitory activity on THP-induced cardiomyocyte toxicity. Silencing RNF10 showed the opposite result. Our study showed that RNF10 inhibited THP-induced CRC through the activity of Meox2 and AP-1 proteins. RNF10 may be the next drug target for the treatment of CRC and other related cardiovascular diseases.

High-efficiency adsorption of aromatic sulfur-containing compounds from liquid hydrocarbon fuels over metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is challenging because of inert metal sites. A new method, the Ce-enhanced modulation of MOFs’ microenvironment, is proposed to modulate the –COO···Cu(II)– coordination microenvironment of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST-1) using Ce(III) as a molecular scalpel for fabricating abundant high-efficiency Cu(I) and Cu-coordination-unsaturated sites and improving the pore structures around adsorptive sites. The optimal CH-250 thus exhibits adsorptive capacities for 20.2, 28.0, and 58.3 mg S g –1 of thiophene, benzo-thiophene, and dibenzothiophene, respectively, which are superior to most reported MOFs, zeolites, and nanoporous carbons. The constructed Cu(I) sites show stronger affinity for dibenzothiophene (−0.86 eV) than the initial Cu(II) (−0.74 eV) for out-of-plane adsorption. Further, they are far stronger in-plane adsorption interactions in DBT/CH-250 (−0.90 eV) than those in DBT/HKUST-1 (−0.37 eV). Thus, molecular engineering for modulating the coordination microenvironment of MOFs shows great potential for adsorption desulfurization.

In this manuscript, the ability of (5-Benzoyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl) carbamicacidmethylester (mebendazole, MBD) as an inhibitor of corrosion on 5Cr pipeline steel in HCl medium was explored. Corresponding electrochemical tests, immersion tests and other experiments were designed, and at the same time, the ability of mebendazole to inhibit corrosion of 5Cr steel in HCl medium was screened and proved by means of molecular weight simulation calculation analysis process, and its possible anticorrosion mechanism was also revealed. Electrochemical test results show that mebendazole can successfully prevent 5Cr steel from dissolving in HCl medium, and the inhibition efficiency is particularly significant with the increase of mebendazole content. According to the electrochemical impedance test, the highest corrosion inhibition efficiency ( η ) can reach 94.4 %. The results of immersion weight loss experiment are highly consistent with the electrochemical test data and SEM electron microscope morphology. From the theoretical calculation results, it can be found that under neutral conditions and protonated mebendazole molecules have lower energy gaps and higher dipole moments in solvated and unsolvated environments, and can Parallel adsorption on the metal surface, which also corresponds to its efficient corrosion inhibition performance. In addition, through comparison, it is found that the protonated mebendazole molecule under solvation conditions has the highest binding energy, that is, it is the easiest to interact with 5Cr steel and presents the best anti-corrosion performance.

In this work, SrMn 1- x Fe x O 3- δ ( x = 0–1) black ceramic pigments were synthesized by the solid-state method. The research explores the influence of calcination temperature and iron ion doping on the color properties of the pigments. Furthermore, the potential applications of SrMn 1- x Fe x O 3- δ pigments in ceramic glaze and heat-absorbing materials are also discussed. The findings reveal that the synthesized SrMnO 3 pigment exhibits the lowest L* -value (22.30) at 1100 °C, although it displays a slight blue hue. To optimize the color properties of the SrMnO 3 pigment, iron ion doping is employed. When the doping level of iron ions is 50 mol.% (i.e., x = 0.5), the L* -value of the SrMn 0.5 Fe 0.5 O 3- δ pigment calcined at 1000 °C significantly decreases to 19.77, while the a* - and b* -values approach 0, resulting in a pure black color. This is attributed to the high surface roughness , low band gap energy, and substantial oxygen vacancies present in the SrMn 0.5 Fe 0.5 O 3- δ pigment. The tinting mechanism of the SrMn 1- x Fe x O 3- δ pigment in the ceramic glaze is classified as "ion tinting", wherein the glaze color relies on the concentrations of Mn and Fe ions. When the pigment content reaches 36 wt%, the L* -value of the glaze drops to 4.94, showing a deep black shade. Additionally, the SrMn 0.5 Fe 0.5 O 3- δ pigment exhibits excellent sunlight absorption capabilities, with a near-infrared reflectance ( R *) of only 5.04%. This research presents a black ceramic pigment with various advantages, such as simplified processing, affordability, environmental friendliness, and exceptional color performance.

Cu 2 O is an attractive material for the architectural design of integrated nanomaterials in photocatalysis. Herein, a contrastive study was carried out to explore the influence of morphology/exposed Cu 2 O facets on the template growth process and the difference of fabricated composites in photocatalysis performance. A series of Cu 2 O@HKUST-1 with core–shell structure was developed via a self-confinement strategy, in which Cu 2 O nanocrystals with various shapes (cube, truncated octahedron and octahedron) act as self-confinement template to grow Cu-based metal–organic frameworks (HKUST-1) shell. It was revealed that the growth of HKUST-1 on Cu 2 O crystal depended on the original Cu 2 O crystal. The exposure of (1 1 1) facet in Cu 2 O was more favorable to the growth of HKUST-1 than (1 0 0) crystal plane. Optical and photoelectrochemical characterizations revealed that the cubic Cu 2 O@HKUST-1 exhibited the outstanding light response and most efficient interfacial charge transfer and separation among three types of composites. As a result, the degradation rates of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) by cubic Cu 2 O@HKUST-1 under the visible light irradiation was 95.35% within 60 min, which was much higher than truncated octahedral Cu 2 O@HKUST-1 (78.81%) and octahedral Cu 2 O@HKUST-1 (66.58%). Mechanism explorations including radical capture experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance and band structure analysis showed that type II heterojunction was formed in cubic Cu 2 O@HKUST-1 and truncated octahedral Cu 2 O@HKUST-1, which was conducive to the separation and transfer of photo-generated carriers. However, type I heterojunction existed in octahedral Cu 2 O@HKUST-1 lead to the recombination of photocarriers. These findings revealed the interface-dependent photocatalytic performance in Cu 2 O@HKUST-1 and provided useful guidance for controllable construction of photocatalysts with heterojunction structure.

Pulmonary fibrosis is common in the development of inflammatory lung diseases with no effective clinical drug treatment currently. As an essential redox enzyme, thioredoxin (Trx) has been reported to be involved in pulmonary fibrosis, but the mechanism is to be revealed. Therefore, in bleomycin-indued pulmonary fibrosis model in C57 mice, Trx activity and nitrated Trx were examined.,p38-MAPK apoptosis pathway was determined in lung tissues. Additionally, before BLM administration, C57/BL6 mice were treated with aminoguanidine (AG, a peroxynitrite scavenger), recombinant human Trx-1 (rhTrx-1), or SIN-1 (a peroxynitrite donor) nitrated Trx-1 ( N -Trx-1). In bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis model in C57/BL6 mice, we observed that nitrated Trx increased, while its activity decreased, with the increase of alveolar epithelial cells (AECs)apoptosis by p38-MAPK pathway. We demonstrated that AG or rhTrx-1, but not N -Trx-1 significantly reduced pulmonary fibrosis. Taken together, the results above revealed that blockade of Trx-1 nitration, or supplementation of exogenous rhTrx-1, might represent novel therapies to attenuate pulmonary fibrosis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients.

A large-size Bi 2 Se 3 tape electrode (BTE) was prepared by peeling off a 2 × 1 × 0.5 cm high-quality single crystal. The feasibility of using the flexible BTE as an efficient bioplatform to load Au nanoparticles and probe DNA for HIV-1 DNA electrochemical sensing was explored. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) show that the resultant biosensor has a wide linear range from 0.1 fM to 1 pM, a low detection limit of 50 aM, excellent selectivity, reproducibility and stability, and is superior to the pM DNA detection level of Pt-Au, graphene-AuNPs hybrid biosensors. This outstanding performance is attributed to the intrinsic surface state of Bi 2 Se 3 topological insulator in facilitating electron transfer. Therefore, BTE electrochemical biosensor platform has great potential in the application for sensitive detection of DNA biomarkers. Graphical abstract

PF74and11L, as potent modulators of the HIV-1 capsid protein, have been demonstrated to act at both early and late stages in the HIV-1 life cycle. However, their clearance is high in human liver microsomes (HLMs). The main goal of this study was to clarify the metabolism ofPF74and11Lin HLMs, and provide guidance for future structural optimization. To accomplish this, the phase-I metabolites ofPF74and11L, resulting from in vitro incubation with HLMs, were investigated via ultra-performance liquid chromatography–ultraviolet–high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC–UV–HRMS). The results show that 17 phase-I metabolites were putatively annotated forPF74, whereas 16 phase-I metabolites were found for11L. The main metabolic pathways ofPF74in HLMs were oxidation and demethylation, and the secondary metabolic pathway was hydrolysis; thus, the di-oxidation and demethylation products (M7,M9,M11, andM14) were found to be major metabolites ofPF74in HLMs. In comparison, the main metabolic pathways of11Lin HLMs were oxidation, demethylation, dehydrogenation, and oxidative deamination, withM6′,M11′,M15′, andM16′as the main metabolites. We suggest that the indole ring andN-methyl group ofPF74, and the aniline group, benzene ring R1′,N-methyl, and methoxy group of11L, were the main metabolic soft spots. Therefore, our research illuminates structural optimization options in seeking improved HIV-1 CA modulators.Keywords:PF74;11L;capsid modulators;human liver microsomes;UPLC–UV–HRMS;metabolite identification

Oxidative stress plays a central role in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Catalpol (CAT) is the active ingredient of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch which has therapeutic effect on PCOS. However, little is known about the mechanism of CAT in PCOS. PCOS rats were induced by subcutaneous injection of dehydroepiandrosteronec for four weeks and then were treated with CAT (50 mg/kg) or carboxyl methyl cellulose (the solvent of CAT) or normal saline for another 4 weeks. Histopathological observation of ovarian tissues, the levels of testosterone, estradiol and progesterone in rat plasma samples, the oxidative stress related-indexes and the expressions of NF-κB pathway-related proteins were determined. KGN cell (human ovarian granulosa cell line) was used as PCOS cell model and was transfected with siSIRT1 in the presence of CAT. The viability, proliferation and apoptosis of cells and the levels of SIRT1 and NF-κB pathway-related proteins were measured. CAT lessened the anthropometric indices and improved ovarian damage in PCOS model rats, and reduced the levels of testosterone, estradiol, progesterone and MDA , increased GSH content, and elevated the activities of catalase, GSH-Px and SOD in ovarian tissues of PCOS model rats. CAT up-regulated SIRT1 level and inhibited the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway in PCOS rat model and KGN cells. Silencing SIRT1 increased the viability and proliferation, whilst decreased the apoptosis of CAT-treated KGN cells. Silencing SIRT1 counteracted the effect of CAT on the level of oxidative stress-related factors and NF-κB signaling pathway in KGN cells. CAT attenuated PCOS by regulating SIRT1 mediated NF-κB signaling pathway.

A modulated structure with symmetrical characteristic higher than three-dimensional is a fascinating crystallographic type, and it is randomly encountered by researchers. Herein, we prepared 0.1 mm level single crystals of Na3La(VO4)2 and determined its structure to be a (3 + 1)-dimensional modulated structure using the X-ray diffraction analysis method for single crystals. Its super space group was determined to be Pca21(0β0)000. On the other hand, we introduced Tb3+ into the Na3La(VO4)2 host lattice to fabricate phosphors Na3La1-x(VO4)2:xTb3+ and studied their photoluminescence properties. Interestingly, for the strong absorption of the Na3La(VO4)2 host lattice in the range of 200–400 nm, the traditional 330–385 nm light is unable to efficiently excite Tb3+ ions in the Na3La(VO4)2 host to generate luminescence of Tb3+. Instead, Na3La1–x(VO4)2:xTb3+ is suitable to be excited by 487 nm to generate emitting light at 543, 584, and 622 nm, due to Tb3+ characteristic 4f → 4f transitions of 5D4 → 7FJ (J = 5, 4, 3). Hence, the Tb3+-doped Na3La(VO4)2 phosphors have potential applications for white-light-emitting diodes.

A membrane adsorber with hierarchically porous HKUST-1 (HP-HKUST-1) immobilized in membrane pores has been fabricated by flowing synthesis. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) characteristics indicate that the structural integrity of the HP-HKUST-1 immobilized in the membrane pores can be kept after template agents are removed. Other characteristics prove the effective immobilization of HP-HKUST-1 in membrane pores. As a concept-of-proof, the adsorption for Congo red (CR) and Methylene blue (MB) is carried out to evaluate the adsorption performance of the membrane adsorber. The adsorption capacity for CR with 458 mg g -1 and MB with 241 mg g -1 can be obtained by HP-HKUST-1 powder, which is 2–3 times higher than those by HKUST-1 powder, owing to the mesopores with rich active adsorption sites. When the solution flows through the membrane adsorber, the adsorption rate for these adsorbates in the range of 0.049 g mg -1 h -1 and 0.129 g mg -1 h -1 can be obtained, which is 4–5 times higher than that by HP-HKUST-1 powder, owing to the enhanced mass transfer in the confined space of the membrane pores with micro or nano scale. After going through seven adsorption-desorption experiments, the membrane adsorber with HP-HKUST-1 immobilized shows remarkable repeatability.

In this study, different calorimetric and analytical techniques were used to evaluate the thermal behavior of the preparation of 1-nitronaphthalene through the nitration of naphthalene with mixed acid. Differential scanning calorimetry and adiabatic calorimetry revealed that 1-nitronaphthalene lacks thermal decomposition characteristics. The results of reaction calorimetry, high-performance liquid chromatography, and the density function theory method were combined to analyze the reaction mechanism. An expanded Stoessel criticality diagram was developed to evaluate the process safety of the semibatch nitration reaction. The results revealed a higher degree of risk than that obtained when using the traditional Stoessel criticality diagram. Kinetics parameters of the reaction were investigated.
