Autoimmunity remains challenging to treat without broad immunosuppression. We previously showed that anti-CD38 antibody can rapidly elevate platelet counts in refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), but the underlying mechanism was unclear. Here we report that anti-CD38 antibody induces platelet recovery within 3 days, including after retreatment in relapsed cases. Mechanistically, CD38-mediated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) depletion drives M1-like macrophage polarization with increased Fc gamma receptor I (FcγRI) expression, thereby promoting macrophage phagocytosis of opsonized platelets. In mice, CD38 inhibition or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) supplementation restores NAD + , reprograms macrophages, downregulates FcγRI and prevents thrombocytopenia. In an ovalbumin immunization model, NMN treatment does not impair antigen-specific antibody production, supporting preservation of humoral responses. Based on these findings, we conducted a single-arm, open-label phase 1/2 trial of low-dose oral NMN (450 mg twice daily for 2 weeks) in adults with steroid-refractory or steroid-dependent ITP. Primary endpoints were safety/tolerability and platelet response (≥50 × 10 9 per liter within 2 weeks, confirmed by two consecutive measurements one or more days apart, without rescue therapy or dose escalation of thrombopoietin receptor agonists or corticosteroids). Among 25 enrolled patients, no dose-limiting toxicities or treatment-related serious adverse events occurred; NMN was well tolerated, with only mild treatment-related adverse events in 12% and non-severe infections (grade 1) in 8% of patients while immunoglobulin levels remained stable, consistent with preserved humoral immunity. Five patients (20.0%) met the primary platelet-response endpoint. In exploratory analyses, overall, 60% of patients achieved platelet counts more than 1.5× baseline during treatment, and 52% maintained responses through week 8. Together, these data identify the CD38−NAD + axis as an immunometabolic checkpoint in ITP and support further exploration of NMN as a non-antibody-depleting metabolic strategy for antibody-mediated disease.

Lipid metabolic reprogramming can facilitate immune escape by promoting a suppressive phenotype in tumor-infiltrating immune cells, although this process remains poorly understood. Here, we identify the lipoprotein, Lipocalin-2 (LCN2), as an essential factor driving natural killer (NK) cell dysfunction and immunosuppressive phenotype. Spatial metabolomics with crystal structure analysis demonstrates that LCN2 binding to phosphatidylserine (PS) and PS enrichment is required for tumor-associated lipid reprogramming. Increased LCN2-PS binding limits IL-15-mediated JAK-STAT pathway activation in NK cells, while inhibiting tumor-infiltrating neutrophil maintenance of anti-tumor potential in NK cells via suppression of IFN-I response. Structure-based drug screening identifies semapimod as an LCN2 inhibitor that blocks interaction with PS, disrupting the LCN2-PS immunosuppressive axis and inducing tumor control. Overall, this study uncovers a lipid metabolic reprogramming mechanism that mediates innate immune evasion and proposes a tumor treatment strategy through enhanced innate immune surveillance.

Active metal hydrolysis is favored for safety and environmental friendliness in the field of hydrogen generation. In practice, however, dense oxide/hydroxide films form instantaneously on the metal surface; these passivating layers act as electronic insulators that severely curtail charge transfer and, consequently, suppress hydrogen evolution. Herein, a novel heterostructure of NiO/Ni(OH)2 was designed to enhance the electron transfer rate in the magnesium powder hydrolysis system, achieving rapid hydrogen production. Surprisingly, Mg-2 wt % NiO/Ni(OH)2 achieved a near 100% conversion rate, producing 880.2 mL g–1 of H2 in only 20 s at 30 °C. Its maximum hydrogen generation rate (mHGR) surpassed that of pure magnesium by 35-fold, and such hydrolysis performance is superior to all the reported results of catalyzed-Mg systems so far. Theoretical studies confirmed that the space charge region in NiO/Ni(OH)2 affects the electronic structure; thus, the correspondingly generated built-in electric field accelerated the hydrolysis of magnesium and greatly facilitated the electron transfer of the system. This work provides a strategy for designing nickel-based oxides/hydroxides catalysts for light metal hydrolysis and facilitates the understanding of the catalytic mechanism in multiphase catalytic systems.

The interaction between 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)piperazine (HPP) and cucurbit[6]uril (Q[6]) has been explored via 1 H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The results show that the guest molecule 1-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)piperazine hydrochloride is not encapsulated within the Q[6] cavity in both aqueous solution and the solid state. Instead, it resides at the portal of Q[6], forming a highly stable exclusion complex, designated HPP 2 @Q[6]. Notably, ion-dipole and hydrogen-bonding interactions play key roles in stabilizing this complex.

Undoubtedly, SARS-CoV-2 has caused an outbreak of pneumonia that evolved into a worldwide pandemic. The confusion of early symptoms of the SARS-CoV-2 infection with other respiratory virus infections made it very difficult to block its spread, leading to the expansion of the outbreak and an unreasonable demand for medical resource allocation. The traditional immunochromatographic test strip (ICTS) can detect one analyte with one sample. Herein, this study presents a novel strategy for the simultaneous rapid detection of FluB/SARS-CoV-2, including quantum dot fluorescent microspheres (QDFM) ICTS and a supporting device. The ICTS could be applied to realize simultaneous detection of FluB and SARS-CoV-2 with one test in a short time. A device supporting FluB/SARS-CoV-2 QDFM ICTS was designed and had the characteristics of being safe, portable, low-cost, relatively stable, and easy to use, ensuring the device could replace the immunofluorescence analyzer in cases where there is no need for quantification. This device does not need to be operated by professional and technical personnel and has commercial application potential.Keywords:SARS-CoV-2;FluB;immunochromatographic test strip;rapid fluorescence detection

Currently, the therapeutic effect of clopidogrel differs considerably among individuals and is thought to be closely related to the genetic polymorphism ofCYP2C19. TheCYP2C19*2gene can reduce the antiplatelet aggregation effect of clopidogrel, which increases the risk of major cardiovascular adverse events in patients. In this research, we report a new type of biosensor for the highly sensitive detection of theCYP2C19*2gene based on exonuclease III assisted electric signal amplification and the use of calixarene to enrich electrical signal substances. Specifically, under the best conditions, the logarithmic concentrations of the analytes have a good linear relationship with the peak current in the range of 0.01 fM to 100 pM and the detection limit is 13.49 aM. The results have also shown that this method has good selectivity, high sensitivity, and stability, etc., and will provide a very promising application for the detection of theCYP2C19*2gene and other biological molecules by replacing corresponding nucleic acid sequences.Keywords:clopidogrel;CYP2C19*2gene;electrochemical biosensor;exonuclease III;calixarene

2-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran (HTHF) is the main by-product of hydrogenation of 1,4-butynediol (BYD) to 1,4-butanediol (BDO) in industry, which is difficult to be effectively removed in the subsequent distillation process and seriously affects the product quality. Here, a series of silica-supported bimetallic Ni–Fe catalysts with different Fe/Ni weight ratios were prepared by using incipient wetness impregnation method and investigated the effect of Fe on the catalyst performance in the hydrogenation of HTHF to BDO. In comparison with monometallic Ni and Fe catalysts, bimetallic Ni–Fe catalysts exhibited better performance for HTHF hydrogenation due to the formation of Ni–Fe alloy phase identified by XRD, TEM, STEM-EDS, H 2 -TPR, NH 3 /H 2 -TPD, Pyridine FTIR and XPS, etc. A mechanism is proposed to explain the promoting effect of Fe, which can be assigned to the synergism between nickel sites with high ability to activate/overflow hydrogen and Fe-containing sites with strong oxophilicity for the activation of the O-C-O bond over the tetrahydrofuran ring.

Cobalt phosphide has excellent electrical conductivity, metallic properties, and thermal stability. However, its application is limited due to the few active sites exposed in electrochemical reactions and poor structural stability. Herein, we adopt the strategies of material compounding and structural design to construct CoP@Ni(OH)2 bilayer nanosheets. The bilayer nanosheet structure can provide abundant transport paths for electrons and ions while also exposing more electroactive sites. In addition, the close contact and mutual support of the bilayer nanosheet structure can significantly alleviate material morphological collapse during charging/discharging processes, improving the cycle stability. The advantages of multiple components were combined in CoP@Ni(OH)2 to provide multiple valances for the faradaic redox reactions. The CoP@Ni(OH)2 manifested a specific capacity of 1697.8 C g−1 at 1 A g−1 and maintained a high rate capability of 35.0% even at 20 A g−1. Moreover, the electrode, had great cycling stability, retaining 83.9% of its capacity at 6 A g−1 after 7000 cycles. The asymmetric supercapacitor made of CoP@Ni(OH)2//activated carbon delivered 53.2 W h kg−1 at 800 W kg−1.

A series of 3D self-standing PtRu/Ni(OH)2/NF electrodes is fabricated for electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) of benzoic acid (BA) to cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (CCA). The PtRu/Ni(OH)2 electrocatalyst with a unique coral-shaped architecture possesses outstanding charge transfer ability and abundant active sites. The optimized electrode achieves a BA conversion of 99.00% and a CCA selectivity of 100% in 0.05 M H2SO4 within 80 min, showing a record faradaic efficiency of 43.90% and high performance during 20 cycles of ECH. In situ Raman tests verify the mechanism of the selective hydrogenation of the aromatic ring and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the electronic interaction between Pt and Ru in the PtRu nanoalloy as well as the electron transfer from the PtRu alloy to the Ni(OH)2 nanosheet tunes the electronic states of PtRu/Ni(OH)2, thereby enhancing the adsorption strength of BA on the electrocatalyst surface. This work offers a promising alternative to the traditional catalytic hydrogenation of BA.

Understanding the distribution of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is necessary for future risk evaluation of DEHP in agricultural soils. This study used 14 C-labeled DEHP to examine its volatilization, mineralization, extractable residues, and non-extractable residues (NERs) incubated in Chinese typical red and black soil with/without Brassica chinensis L. Results showed that after incubated for 60 days, 46.3% and 95.4% of DEHP were mineralized or transformed into NERs in red and black soil, respectively. The distribution of DEHP in humic substances as NER descended in order: humin > fulvic acids > humic acids. DEHP in black soil was more bioavailable, with 6.8% of initial applied radioactivity left as extractable residues at the end of incubation when compared with red soil (54.5%). Planting restrained the mineralization of DEHP by 18.5% and promoted the extractable residues of DEHP by 1.5% for black soil, but no such restrain was observed in red soil. These findings provide valuable information for understanding the distribution of DEHP in different soils and develop the understanding for the risk assessments of PAEs in typical soils.

Experiments on the flame propagation of starch dust explosion with the participation of ultrafine Mg(OH) 2 in a vertical duct were conducted to reveal the inerting evolution of explosion processes. Combining the dynamic behaviors of flame propagation, the formation law of gaseous combustion products , and the heat dissipation features of solid inert particles, the inerting mechanism of explosion flame propagation is discussed. Results indicate that the ultrafine of Mg(OH) 2 powders can cause the agglomeration of suspended dust clouds, which makes the flame combustion reaction zone fragmented and forms multiple small flame regions. The flame reaction zone presents non-homogeneous insufficient combustion, which leads to the obstruction of the explosion flame propagation process and the obvious pulsation propagation phenomenon. As the proportion of ultrafine Mg(OH) 2 increases, flame speed, flame luminescence intensity, flame temperature and deflagration pressure all show different degrees of inerting behavior. The addition of ultrafine Mg(OH) 2 not only causes partial inerting on the explosion flame, but also the heat dissipation of solid inert particles affects the acceleration of its propagation. The explosion flame propagation is inhibited by the synergistic effect of inert gas-solid phase, which attenuates the risk of starch explosion. The gas-solid synergistic inerting mechanism of starch explosion flame propagation by ultrafine Mg(OH) 2 is further revealed.

Two new heterometallic uranyl-organic frameworks (UOFs), [Cd(phen)2(H2O)2][(UO2)2(BDC)3]·2H2O (1) and [Ni(phen)3][(UO2)2(BDC)3]·2H2O (2), were obtained under hydrothermal conditions. Both crystal structures were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and the results indicate that both complexes feature a similar 2D honeycomb framework that is connected by rigid benzenedicarboxylate (BDC) ligands and uranyl units. BDC works as a linker to bridge neighboring UO22+ units, where UO22+ is tris-chelated. Different guest molecules guided the stacking of 2D layers and lead into their 3D supramolecular crystal structures with different space groups. As a result, 1 crystallized in a polar space group Cc, whereas 2 belongs to a chiral space group P6122. Thermogravimetric measurements were performed to study their thermal stability. UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurements indicate an experimental optical bandgap of 3.87 eV and 3.63 eV, respectively, for 1 and 2. Luminescent studies of both samples show strong green light emissions.
