The lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a widespread pathogen that causes mild-to-severe infections to severe outcomes. In this study, we explored the potential of trametinib, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor, as an antiviral agent against LCMV. Trametinib demonstrated significant antiviral activity against two distinct LCMV strains, Armstrong and Cl13, with promising half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 ) and selectivity indices (SI) indicating its potency and safety profile. Mechanistic investigations revealed that trametinib interfered with multiple stages of the LCMV life cycle, including membrane fusion and genomic replication, leading to the robust inhibition of viral proliferation. Furthermore, trametinib disrupted the MEK/ERK signaling pathway, which is crucial for LCMV infection. In both in vitro and in vivo experiments, trametinib effectively reduced viral loads and mitigated pathological damage to the spleen and liver tissues. Overall, our findings suggest that trametinib is a promising novel therapeutic option for combating LCMV infection by targeting key stages of the viral life cycle and disrupting host cellular signaling pathways. Further exploration of the antiviral properties of trametinib is likely to pave the way for its clinical development as a treatment for LCMV infections.

In the detection of biomolecules, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors require high sensitivity. In this study, we propose a sensitivity-enhanced functionalized plasmonic interface based on Ag–TiO 2 –Co(OH) 2 nanosheets structure. Compared to unmodified SPR sensors, the sensitivity of the sensor decorated with TiO 2 and Co(OH) 2 nanosheets is increased by 130.84%, reaching 5764.27 nm/RIU. This enhancement is attributed to the high refractive index of the coating, as well as the high specific surface area and abundant active sites provided by the synthesized Co(OH) 2 nanosheets with a multi-grooved structure. Additionally, employing a double-antibody sandwich method, the antibody-functionalized plasmonic interface enables specific detection of human serum albumin (HSA). The linear response of this sensor was in the wide range of 0.4–150 μM, and the LOD reached 154.89 nM(K D is approximately 1.73 × 10 −6 M). This novel SPR sensor offers a new strategy for biochemical sensing and provides a highly sensitive platform for immunoassays.

Cu(OH) 2 has the advantages of ease of structural regulation, good conductivity, and relatively low cost, making it a suitable candidate material for use as an electrocatalyst. However, its catalytic efficiency and stability still need to be improved further. Therefore, Cu(OH) 2 /Cu 2 S was successfully prepared on copper foam (CF) using the in situ growth and hydrothermal method. The structural characterization showed that sulfidation treatment induced transformation of Cu(OH) 2 /CF from smooth nanorods into a coral-like structure, which exposed more active sites of Cu(OH) 2 /Cu 2 S and enhanced the performance of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Compared with Cu(OH) 2 , Cu(OH) 2 /Cu 2 S showed better alkaline HER performance, especially when the vulcanization concentration was 0.1 M, the overpotential of Cu(OH) 2 /Cu 2 S was 174 mV, and the reaction kinetics was 64 mv dec −1 at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . In this work, the morphology and electronic structure of copper-based metal sulfide electrocatalysts were adjusted by sulfide treatment, which provided a new reference for improving HER performance.

A synergistic solvent extraction system comprising trioctylamine (TOA) and ligands with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups can efficiently recover boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ) and separate boron isotopes. However, the structure of ligands might impact H 3 BO 3 extraction, boron isotope separation, and solvent loss, which has not been thoroughly investigated. This study initially evaluated the influence of ligand’s type, p K a , and substituents on H 3 BO 3 extraction efficiency, as well as the impact of the B (4) -O structure (boron is bound to four oxygen atoms) in the organic phase on isotope separation efficiency. Subsequently, by synthesizing the highly hydrophobic 2-hydroxydodecanoic acid (HYA), the extraction performance and mechanism of the TOA/HYA system were investigated. The findings highlight the superior extraction efficiency when employing di-phenolic hydroxyl, phenolic hydroxyl + carbinol hydroxyl, and alcoholic hydroxyl + carboxyl ligands compared to phenolic hydroxyl + carboxyl, phenolic hydroxyl + ethanol hydroxyl, diol hydroxyl, and dicarboxylic ligands. The organic phase anion complex, exclusively comprising the B (4) -O structure, enhances isotope separation effectiveness. The TOA/HYA system achieves an 80% single-stage extraction efficiency for H 3 BO 3 . H 3 BO 3 and HYA are extracted into the organic phase at a ratio of 1:2, with the anion complex solely containing the B (4) -O structure. This study paves the way for the construction of novel boric acid extraction and boron isotope separation systems.

Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) represents one of the life-threatening manifestations of sepsis, for which specific therapies are currently lacking. The mechanism of action of urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI), widely employed in treating acute inflammatory disorders, on SCM has remained elusive. Here, we observed that UTI alleviated cardiac function, reduced myocardial injury, and improved cardiac permeability in a cecum ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis mouse model. In addition, UTI significantly decreased serum and myocardial angiopoietin 2 (ANG2) levels in CLP mice, which is a biomarker associated with sepsis prognosis. In vitro experiments utilizing mouse myocardial microvascular endothelial cells (MMVECs) were conducted to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying UTI-mediated regulation of ANG2 expression, secretion, and its impacts on endothelial permeability and neutrophil adhesion. UTI mitigated endothelial barrier dysfunction and reduced neutrophil adherence following thrombin stimulation and ANG2 overexpression. The experiments further demonstrated that UTI-induced inhibition of ANG2 expression was related to the blockade of forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) nuclear transcription and that UTI disrupted ANG2 exocytosis by reducing intracellular Ca 2+ concentration, a mechanism distinct from other serine protease inhibitors. In addition, UTI ameliorated barrier impairment and neutrophil adhesion in ANG2 overexpression cells by restoring tyrosine kinase receptor 2 Tie2)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway phosphorylation. Docking predictions and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) further corroborated that UTI is strongly bound to ANG2. Altogether, our findings revealed a novel perspective wherein UTI functions as a multifaceted ANG2 inhibitor in SCM. Thus, ANG2 constitutes a promising therapeutic target for septic cardiomyopathy.

2-Nonenal, a primary component of the characteristic “aging odor,” poses minimal toxicity but significantly affects quality of life and psychological well-being, necessitating its effective removal. However, the existing removal methods mainly rely on adsorption of activated carbon or odor masking after diffusion, which suffers from low efficiency and environmental concerns. This study presents an approach for eliminating 2-nonenal through a multilayered composite textile system that integrates the synergistic effects of amine-based adsorption and triboelectric-driven mechanisms, transforming waste static electricity into valuable resources. Manganese oxide particles were loaded onto the surface of PET by hydrothermal method (250.5 g/m2), and then modified by amination, and then combined with other different common fabrics to form double-layer composite fabric. Under 2 Hz friction frequency, interfacial contact electrification generates substantial surface charges up to 40 nC/cycle, with electrostatic effects enhancing catalytic performance through three synergistic mechanisms: (1) Continuous tribo-induced charge injection drives valence state oscillations in manganese oxides, concurrently generating dual reactive oxygen species (•O2– and •OH); (2) Locally intensified electric fields from accumulated interfacial charges significantly reduce activation energy for aldehyde group oxidation; (3) Amino-manganese oxide charge transfer complexes accelerate regeneration of high-valent manganese through electron-bridging effects, achieving 9% improvement in catalytic cycle efficiency. This electrocatalytic coupling mechanism achieves sustained 87.77% removal efficiency for 2-nonenal, providing an innovative self-powered and energy-efficient strategy for aldehyde pollutant remediation.

ZnO-based thermites have garnered significant attention owing to their unique advantages in various applications. Given the limited activation of nano-Al and low energetic density of Al/ZnO, a pseudooxide ZnNCN were investigated to replace ZnO as novel oxidizer with the fluororubber encapsulated nano-Al to assemble a novel thermite system of Al@F2311/ZnNCN. In this work, the new aluminothermic reaction between Al@F2311 and ZnNCN was explored systematically and compared with Al/ZnNCN, Al@F2311/ZnO and Al/ZnO. Their structure, morphology and energetic performance was investigated by employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) techniques and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the combustion behaviors was studied by high-speed camera. It is found that energy release of Al@F2311/ZnNCN reached to 1431.6 J·g −1 accompanied by intense burning flames. Moreover, a large amount of gas produced in the aluminothermic reaction between Al@F2311 and ZnNCN. It is indicated that the ZnNCN with high nitrogen content displayed as oxide in the thermite composite show better metastable characteristics and it is expected to be applied in fields such as airbags. Besides, the metal nitrides such as AlN were obtained following a self-propagating route within seconds, providing new possible for the preparation of ceramic nitrides under air atmosphere.

Improving the voltage window of aqueous supercapacitors beyond 2.5 V without diminishing their capacitance performance is a big challenge to achieve excellent energy density because of the undesirable water decomposition. Herein, this study developed a novel vanadium phosphate (VPO) of the VO(PO 3 ) 2 aerogel as the electrode to enlarge the device voltage, which could effectively raise HER/OER overpotentials and thus achieving a stable wide electrochemical window of −1 ∼ 1 V (vs. SCE) with remarkably improved capacitance. The VPO microstructure is organized by nanowire-stacked lamellar bricks via engineering a controllable phase-transformation using the V-P-citric acid-aerogel as the precursor. Examined as the supercapacitor electrode, in-situ X-ray powder diffraction analysis uncovers that the VO(PO 3 ) 2 undergoes a reversible phase-transformation reaction associated with Na + intercalation/de-intercalation in Na 2 SO 4 and a typical redox pseudocapacitance process in KOH. For the first time, a 2.8 V symmetric aqueous supercapacitor was further assembled with an energy density of 123.1 Wh kg −1 at the power density of 580 W kg −1 , which is much superior to those of all reported V-base supercapacitors. The underlying mechanisms of the VO(PO 3 ) 2 on ultrahigh voltage window and charge storage are further elucidated, which provide the fundamental guidance for structuring VPO-based electrodes used for commercial energy storage devices.

Developing and utilizing capture and storage technologies for CO2has become a critical research topic due to the significant greenhouse effect caused by excessive CO2emissions. A conventional physical absorption process for CO2capture is polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether (NHD); however, its limited application range is caused by its poor absorption of CO2at low pressures. In this work, the CO2absorption of NHD was enhanced by combining NHD with a novel chemical absorbent 2-methylimidazole (2-mIm)-ethylene glycol (EG) solution to improve CO2absorption. Viscosity and CO2solubility were examined in various compositions. The CO2solubility in the mixed solution was found to be at maximum when the mass fractions of NHD, 2-mIm, and EG were 20%, 40%, and 40%, respectively. In comparison to pure NHD, the solubility of CO2in this mixed solution at 30 °C and 0.5 MPa increased by 161.2%, and the desorption heat was less than 30 kJ/mol. The complex solution exhibits high selectivity and favorable regeneration performance in the short term. However, it is more sensitive to moisture content. The results of this study can provide important data to support the construction of new low-energy solvent systems and the development of novel CO2capture processes.

A detailed method for preparation of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT)-labeled immuno-Au aggregates as a novel Raman probe for SERS-based immunoassay has been proposed in this paper. The formation kinetics of gold aggregates induced by MBT and the impact of the amount of labeled reporter on the aggregation, as well as the fabrication of MBT-labeled immuno-Au aggregates were characterized comprehensively by UV–vis spectrophotometer . Meanwhile, a chain-like morphology of aggregates was monitored by TEM images. Experimental results show that this Raman tag can act as an efficient label and an enhanced Raman signal of SERS-based immunoassay can be obtained successfully with this novel probe. This work shows the method for the preparation of immune probe for SERS-based immunoassay using MBT as reporter and provides a reference for the preparation of immune probe with other Raman markers for multi-channel SERS-based immunoassay.

Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and its mediated neuroinflammation are implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, while mitophagy negatively regulates NLRP3 inflammasome activation. SHP-2, a protein-tyrosine phosphatase, is critical for NLRP3 inflammasome regulation and inflammatory responses. In this study, we investigated whether triterpenoid saponins in Radix Polygalae inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome via mitophagy induction. First, we isolated the active fraction (polygala saponins (PSS)) and identified 17 saponins by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detection and tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-DAD-Q/TOF-MS). In microglial BV-2 cells, PSS induced mitophagy as evidenced by increased co-localization of LC3 and mitochondria, as well as an increased number of autophagic vacuoles surrounding the mitochondria. Furthermore, the mechanistic study found that PSS activated the AMPK/mTOR and PINK1/parkin signaling pathways via the upregulation of SHP-2. In Aβ(1-42)-, A53T-α-synuclein-, or Q74-induced BV-2 cells, PSS significantly inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation, which was attenuated by bafilomycin A1 (an autophagy inhibitor) and SHP099 (an SHP-2 inhibitor). In addition, the co-localization of LC3 and ASC revealed that PSS promoted the autophagic degradation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Moreover, PSS decreased apoptosis in conditioned medium-induced PC-12 cells. In APP/PS1 mice, PSS improved cognitive function, ameliorated Aβ pathology, and inhibited neuronal death. Collectively, the present study, for the first time, shows that PSS inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome via SHP-2-mediated mitophagy in vitro and in vivo, which strongly suggests the therapeutic potential of PSS in various neurodegenerative diseases.
