Dynamic Regulation of Hydrogen Bonding Networks and Solvation Structures for Synergistic Solar‑Thermal Desalination of Seawater and Catalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants

Although solar steam generation strategy is efficient in desalinating seawater,it is still challenging to achieve continuous solar-thermal desalination of seawater and catalytic degradation of organic pollutants.Herein,dynamic regulations of hydrogen bonding networks and solvation structures are realized by designing an asymmetric bilayer membrane consisting of a bacterial cellulose/carbon nanotube/Co_(2)(OH)_(2)CO_(3)nanorod top layer and a bacterial cellulose/Co_(2)(OH)_(2)CO_(3)nanorod(BCH)bottom layer.Crucially,the hydrogen bonding networks inside the membrane can be tuned by the rich surface–OH groups of the bacterial cellulose and Co_(2)(OH)_(2)CO_(3)as well as the ions and radicals in situ generated during the catalysis process.Moreover,both SO_(4)^(2−)and HSO_(5)−can regulate the solvation structure of Na^(+)and be adsorbed more preferentially on the evaporation surface than Cl^(−),thus hindering the de-solvation of the solvated Na^(+)and subsequent nucleation/growth of NaCl.Furthermore,the heat generated by the solar-thermal energy conversion can accelerate the reaction kinetics and enhance the catalytic degradation efficiency.This work provides a flow-bed water purification system with an asymmetric solar-thermal and catalytic membrane for synergistic solar thermal desalination of seawater/brine and catalytic degradation of organic pollutants.

利用光驱动的生物杂合系统实现CO_(2)转化生产化学品

太阳能作为清洁能源之一,为缓解化石燃料枯竭和温室气体排放等问题提供了一种高效、经济、可持续的解决方案.自然界中的植物和光合微生物通过自身的光合系统收集并转化太阳能,从而生产生物燃料和生物化学品.然而,由于自然光合系统存在光吸收范围相对较窄、光生电子在传输过程中易损耗等问题,限制了太阳能到化学品的转化效率.为了解决上述难题,科研人员模仿自然光合作用中的关键部分,探索构建人工光合系统,相关研究引起了广泛关注.本文通过将碲化镉量子点(CdTe QDs)与大肠杆菌(E.coli)相耦合,构建了一种光驱动无机-生物杂合系统(IBPHS),用于捕获太阳能并驱动CO_(2)转化合成高价值化学品.该系统主要由光催化模块和生物催化模块组成.在光催化模块中,通过生物合成CdTe QDs进行光能捕获,并将其转化为电子.通过敲除E.coli的Cd2+外排蛋白(ZNTA)编码基因,实现了E.coli胞内Cd2+过量积累.通过“时空耦合”方式,并借助共聚焦显微镜、高分辨率透射电镜和X射线能谱分析,确认了CdTe QDs在E.coli胞内的组装合成.利用紫外-可见分光光度计研究了光催化模块对光子的吸收能力.结果表明,光催化模块的吸收峰位于400-420 nm.利用瞬时光电流,评估了光催化模块的光生电子能力.实验发现,该模块可以产生0.07μA光电流,表明完成了光催化模块的构建.在生物催化模块中,将光催化模块产生的电子用于还原NAD+再生NADH.采用NADH生物传感器,分析了E.coli胞内NADH含量,结果表明,在蓝光照射下E.coli胞内NADH含量比黑暗条件下提高了5.1倍.在此基础上,通过表达NADH依赖型乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)将丙酮酸还原为乳酸,在蓝光光照下乳酸积累量达到了0.44 g/L,而黑暗条件下无乳酸积累,从而验证了生物催化模块的有效性.基于光催化模块和生物催化模块,进一步组装构建了IBPSH,用于驱动CO_(2)还原合成甲酸和丙酮酸.在蓝光照射下,IBPHS能够合成0.65 g/L甲酸和0.18 g/L丙酮酸,其CO_(2)利用速率分别达到51.98 mg/gDCW/h和21.92 mg/gDCW/h,超过了光合细菌.综上所述,本文利用光催化模块与生物催化模块相耦合的方式,组装构建了一种新型的人工光合系统,实现了光驱动CO_(2)还原合成高附加值化学品,为理性设计材料-生物杂合系统提供了借鉴,同时也为挖掘绿色生物制造潜力、开发太阳能化学制造平台提供参考.

Efficacy of graphene nanocomposites for air disinfection in dental clinics: A randomized controlled study

BACKGROUND Aerosols containing disease-causing microorganisms are produced during oral diagnosis and treatment can cause secondary contamination.AIM To investigate the use of graphene material for air disinfection in dental clinics by leveraging its adsorption and antibacterial properties.METHODS Patients who received ultrasonic cleaning at our hospital from April 2023 to April 2024.They were randomly assigned to three groups(n=20 each):Graphene nanocomposite material suction group(Group A),ordinary filter suction group(Group B),and no air suction device group(Group C).The air quality and air colony count in the clinic rooms were assessed before,during,and after the procedure.Additionally,bacterial colony counts were obtained from the air outlets of the suction devices and the filter screens in Groups A and B.RESULTS Before ultrasonic cleaning,no significant differences in air quality PM2.5 and colony counts were observed among the three groups.However,significant differences in air quality PM2.5 and colony counts were noted among the three groups during ultrasonic cleaning and after ultrasonic treatment.Additionally,the number of colonies on the exhaust port of the suction device and the surface of the filter were significantly lower in Group A than in Group B(P=0.000 and P=0.000,respectively).CONCLUSION Graphene nanocomposites can effectively sterilize the air in dental clinics by exerting their antimicrobial effects and may be used to reduce secondary pollution.

Retrospective analysis based on a clinical grading system for patients with hepatic hemangioma:A single center experience

BACKGROUND The optimal approach for managing hepatic hemangioma is controversial.AIM To evaluate a clinical grading system for management of hepatic hemangioma based on our 17-year of single institution experience.METHODS A clinical grading system was retrospectively applied to 1171 patients with hepatic hemangioma from January 2002 to December 2018.Patients were classified into four groups based on the clinical grading system and treatment:(1)Observation group with score<4(Obs score<4);(2)Surgical group with score<4(Sur score<4);(3)Observation group with score≥4(Obs score≥4);and(4)Surgical group with score≥4(Sur score≥4).The clinico-pathological index and outcomes were evaluated.RESULTS There were significantly fewer symptomatic patients in surgical groups(Sur score≥4 vs Obs score≥4,P<0.001;Sur score<4 vs Obs score<4,χ^(2)=8.60,P=0.004;Sur score≥4 vs Obs score<4,P<0.001).The patients in Sur score≥4 had a lower rate of in need for intervention and total patients with adverse event than in Obs score≥4(P<0.001;P<0.001).Nevertheless,there was no significant difference in need for intervention and total patients with adverse event between the Sur score<4 and Obs score<4(P>0.05;χ^(2)=1.68,P>0.05).CONCLUSION This clinical grading system appeared as a practical tool for hepatic hemangioma.Surgery can be suggested for patients with a score≥4.For those with<4,follow-up should be proposed.

Cancer survival statistics in China 2019-2021:a multicenter,population-based study

Background:A milestone goal of the Healthy China Program(2019-2030)is to achieve 5-year cancer survival at 43.3%for all cancers combined by 2022.To assess the progress towards this target,we analyzed the updated survival for all cancers combined and 25 specific cancer types in China from 2019 to 2021.Methods:We conducted standardized data collection and quality control for cancer registries across 32 provincial-level regions in China,and included 6,410,940 newly diagnosed cancer patients from 281 cancer registries during 2008-2019,with follow-up data on vital status available until December 2021.We estimated the age-standardized 5-year relative survival overall and by site,age group,and period of diagnosis using the International Cancer Survival Standard Weights,and quantified the survival changes to assess the progress in cancer control.Results:In 2019-2021,the age-standardized 5-year relative survival for all cancers combined was 43.7%(95%confidence interval[CI],43.6-43.7).The 5-year relative survival varied by cancer type,ranging from 8.5%(95%CI,8.2-8.7)for pancreatic cancer to 92.9%(95%CI,92.4-93.3)for thyroid cancer.Eight cancers had 5-year survival of over 60%,including cancers of the thyroid,breast,testis,bladder,prostate,kidney,uterus,and cervix.The 5-year relative survival was generally lower in males than in females.From 2008 to 2021,we observed significant survival improvements for cancers of the lung,prostate,bone,uterus,breast,cervix,nasopharynx,larynx,and bladder.The most significant improvement was in lung cancer.Conclusions:Progress in cancer control was evident in China.This highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to control and prevent cancer.

Rational fusion design inspired by cell-penetrating peptide:SS31/S-14 G Humanin hybrid peptide with amplified multimodal efficacy and bio-permeability for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease induced by multiple interconnected mechanisms.Peptide drug candidates with multi-modal efficacy generated from fusion strategy are suitable for addressing multi-facet pathology.However,clinical translation of peptide drugs is greatly hampered by their low permeability into brain.Herein,a hybrid peptide HNSS is generated by merging two therapeutic peptides(SS31 and S-14 G Humanin(HNG)),using a different approach from the classical shuttle-therapeutic peptide conjugate design.HNSS demonstrated increased bio-permeability,with a 2-fold improvement in brain distribution over HNG,thanks to its structure mimicking the design of signal peptide-derived cell-penetrating peptides.HNSS efficiently alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction through the combined effects of mitochondrial targeting,ROS scavenging and p-STAT3 activation.Meanwhile,HNSS with increased Aβaffinity greatly inhibited Aβoligomerization/fibrillation,and interrupted Aβinteraction with neuron/microglia by reducing neuronal mitochondrial Aβdeposition and promoting microglial phagocytosis of Aβ.In3×Tg-AD transgenic mice,HNSS treatment efficiently inhibited brain neuron loss and improved the cognitive performance.This work validates the rational fusion design-based strategy for bio-permeability improvement and efficacy amplification,providing a paradigm for developing therapeutic peptide candidates against neurodegenerative disease.

Genome-wide association study dissecting drought resistance-associated loci based on physiological traits in common bean

Genetic improvement of drought resistance is one of the main breeding goals for common bean,so molecular markers must be identified to facilitate drought resistance breeding.In this study,we evaluated the proline,trehalose,raffinose,and stachyose contents of 210 common bean accessions under two watering conditions and found large variations in all four.The coefficients of variation ranged from 21.21%for proline content to 78.69%for stachyose content under well-watered conditions,and from 20.11%for proline content to 50.08%for trehalose content under drought stress.According to our genome-wide association analysis,32 quantitative trait loci were associated with drought resistance,seven of which overlapped with known loci.Four hotspot regions were identified at Pv01,Pv07 and Pv11.A set of candidate genes was identified,including genes encoding MYB,bZIP,bHLH,ERF,and protein kinases.Among these genes,Phvul.001G189400,Phvul.007G273000 and Phvul.008G270500 were annotated as bZIP,ERF and WRKY,respectively.These genes are reportedly involved in drought stress responses in Arabidopsis thaliana and were induced by drought stress in common bean.Significant SNPs in six candidate gene regions formed different haplotypes,and phenotypic analysis revealed significant differences among the haplotypes.These results provide new insight into the genetic basis of drought resistance in common bean and reveal candidate genes and superior natural variations that will be useful for improving common bean.

Risk Factors Asscociated with Hypokalemia during Postanesthesia Recovery and Its Impact on Outcomes in Gynecological Patients:A Propensity Score Matching Study

Objective:This study aimed to explore the risk factors and outcomes of hypokalemia during the recovery period from anesthesia in the gynecological population.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 208 patients who underwent gynecological surgery at our institution between January 2021 and March 2022.Data were collected for each patient,including demographics,disease status,surgical data,and clinical information.Preoperative bowel preparation,postoperative gastrointestinal function,and electrolyte levels were compared between the two groups using propensity score matching(PSM).Results:The incidence of hypokalemia(serum potassium level<3.5 mmol/L)during the recovery period from anesthesia was approximately 43.75%.After PSM,oral laxative use(96.4%vs.82.4%,P=0.005),the number of general enemas(P=0.014),and the rate of≥2 general enemas(92.9%vs.77.8%,P=0.004)were identified as risk factors for hypokalemia,which was accompanied by decreased PaCO_(2) and hypocalcemia.There were no significant differences in postoperative gastrointestinal outcomes,such as the time to first flatus or feces,the I-FEED score(a scoring system was created to evaluate impaired postoperative gastrointestinal function),or postoperative recovery outcomes,between the hypokalemia group and the normal serum potassium group.Conclusion:Hypokalemia during postanesthesia recovery period occurred in 43.75%of gynecological patients,which resulted from preoperative mechanical bowel preparation;however,it did not directly affect clinical outcomes,including postoperative gastrointestinal function,postoperative complications,and length of hospital stay.

Betulinic acid protects against ovarian impairment by decreasing F-2 toxin-induced oxidative stress and inflammation associated with the downregulation of p38 expression in mice

F-2 toxin is an estrogenic mycotoxin that causes reproductive disorders in animals.Betulinic acid(BA)is a natural pentacyclic lupane-structure triterpenoid that has diverse pharmacological activities.In this study,the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of BA and its underlying mechanism are explored in F-2 toxin-triggered mouse ovarian damage.We found that BA alleviated the F-2 toxin-induced ovarian impairment by stimulating follicle growth,reducing inflammatory cell infiltration,repairing damaged mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.Simultaneously,BA not only reversed F-2 toxin-induced reduction of follicle stimulating hormone(FSH)and luteinizing hormone(LH)levels in the serum,but also restrained the protein expression of the estrogen receptors a(ERa)and ERβ.Moreover,BA restored the balance of F-2 toxin-induced ovarian redox system disorders.Subsequently,we found that 0.25 mg/kg BA played an anti-inflammatory role in the F-2 toxin-induced ovarian impairment by decreasing interleukin-1β(IL-1β).IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)mRNA expression,as well as inhibiting p38 protein expression.These data demonstrated that BA exerts its protective effect on F-2 toxin-induced ovarian oxidative impairment and inflammation by inhibiting p38 expression,which implies a natural product-based medicine to ameliorate F-2 toxin-caused female reproductive toxicity and provides a detoxifying method for food contaminated by mycotoxin.

Prevalence and clinical impact of sarcopenia in liver transplant recipients:A meta-analysis

BACKGROUND The prevalence of sarcopenia in patients undergoing liver transplantation(LT)remains to be determined partly because of different diagnostic criteria.Sarcopenia has recently been recognized as a new prognostic factor for predicting outcomes in LT candidates.AIM To estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia and evaluate its clinical effect on LT candidates.METHODS This systematic search was conducted in PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,and Cochrane Library for original English-language articles that investigated the prevalence and influence of sarcopenia in patients undergoing LT from database inception to November 30,2022.Cohort studies of the definition of sarcopenia that estimate sarcopenia prevalence and evaluate its effect on clinical outcomes and the risk of mortality were included.RESULTS Twenty-five studies involving 7760 patients undergoing LT were included.The pooled prevalence of sarcopenia in patients undergoing LT was 40.7%[95%confidence intervals(95%CI):32.1-49.6].The 1-,3-,and 5-year cumulative probab-ilities of post-LT survival in patients with preoperative sarcopenia were all lower than those without sarcopenia(P<0.05).Sarcopenia was associated with an increased risk of post-LT mortality in patients undergoing LT(adjusted hazard ratio:1.58;95%CI:1.21-2.07).Patients with preoperative sarcopenia had a longer intensive care unit stay,a high risk ratio of sepsis,and serious post-LT complications than those without sarcopenia.CONCLUSION Sarcopenia is prevalent in a substantial proportion of patients undergoing LT and is strongly and independently associated with higher a risk of mortality risk.

Shape-influenced non-reciprocal transport of magnetic skyrmions in nanoscale channel

Skyrmions, with their vortex-like structures and inherent topological protection, play a pivotal role in developing innovative low-power memory and logic devices. The efficient generation and control of skyrmions in geometrically confined systems are crucial for the development of skyrmion-based spintronic devices. In this study, we focus on investigating the non-reciprocal transport behavior of skyrmions and their interactions with boundaries of various shapes. The shape of the notch structure in the nanotrack significantly affects the dynamic behavior of magnetic skyrmions. Through micromagnetic simulation, the non-reciprocal transport properties of skyrmions in nanowires with different notch structures are investigated in this work.

Neuroimaging features in a patient with non-ketotic hyperglycaemic seizures: A case report

BACKGROUND Non-ketotic hyperglycaemic(NKH)seizures are a rare neurological complication of diabetes caused by hyperglycaemia in non-ketotic and non-hyperosmotic states.The clinical characteristics of NKH seizures are atypical and lack unified diagnostic criteria,leading to potential misdiagnoses in the early stages of the disease.CASE SUMMARY This report presents a rare case of NKH seizures in a 52-year-old male patient with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus.We performed comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)studies at admission,12 d post-admission,and 20 d post-discharge.The imaging techniques included contrast-enhanced head MRI,T2-weighted imaging(T2WI),fluid-attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR),diffusion-weighted imaging,susceptibility-weighted imaging,magnetic reso-nance spectroscopy(MRS),and magnetic resonance venography.At the time of admission,T2WI and FLAIR of the cranial MRI showed that the left parieto-occipital cortex had gyrus-like swelling and high signal,and subcortical stripes had low signal.MRS showed a reduced N-acetylaspartate peak and increased creatine and choline peaks in the affected areas.A follow-up MRI 20 d later showed that the swelling and high signal of the left parieto-occipital cortex had disappeared,and the low signal of the subcortex had disappeared.CONCLUSION This case study provides valuable insights into the potential pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment of NKH seizures.The comprehensive MRI findings highlight the potential utility of various MRI sequences in diagnosing and characterizing NKH seizures.

Pathogenicity and transcriptomic profiling reveals immunology molecular hallmarks after CA10 virus infection

Background:Hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD)is a common infectious disease caused by viral infection by a variety of enteroviruses,with coxsackievirus A 10(CA10)having become more prevalent in recent years.Methods:In this study,models of CA10 infection were established in 7-day-old Institute of Cancer Research(ICR)mice by intraperitoneal injection to analyze the pathogenicity of the virus.RNA sequencing analysis was used to screen the differentially expressed genes(DEGs)after CA10 infection.Coxsackievirus A 16(CA16)and enterovirus 71(EV71)infections were also compared with CA10.Results:After CA10 virus infection,the mice showed paralysis of the hind limbs at 3 days post infection and weight loss at 5 days post infection.We observed viral replication in various tissues and severe inflammatory cell infiltration in skeletal muscle.The RNA-sequencing analysis showed that the DEGs in blood,muscle,thymus and spleen showed heterogeneity after CA10 infection and the most upregulated DEGs in muscle were enriched in immune-related pathways.Compared with CA16 and EV71 infection,CA10 may have an inhibitory effect on T helper(Th)cell differentiation and cell growth.Additionally,the common DEGs in the three viruses were most enriched in the immune system response,including the Toll-l ike receptor pathway and the nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain(NOD)-l ike pathway.Conclusions:Our findings revealed a group of genes that coordinate in response to CA10 infection,which increases our understanding of the pathological mechanism of HFMD.

COVID-19 infection and inactivated vaccination:Impacts on clinical and immunological profiles in Chinese children with type 1 diabetes

BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic has been linked to an increased incidence of diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA).However,the relationship between COVID-19 infection and progression to type 1 diabetes(T1D)in children has not been well defined.AIM To evaluate the influence of COVID-19 infection and inactivated vaccine adminis-tration on the progression of T1D among Chinese children.METHODS A total of 197 newly diagnosed patients with T1D were retrospectively enrolled from Children's Hospital of Fudan University between September 2020 and December 2023.The patients were divided into three groups based on their history of COVID-19 infection and vaccination:the infection group,the vacci-nation-only group,and the non-infection/non-vaccination group.Comprehensive clinical assessments and detailed immunological evaluations were performed to delineate the characteristics and immune responses of these groups.RESULTS The incidence of DKA was significantly higher in the COVID-19 infection group(70.2%)compared to the non-infection/non-vaccination group(62.5%)and vac-scination-only group(45.6%;P=0.015).Prior COVID-19 infection was correlated with increased DKA risk(OR:1.981,95%CI:1.026-3.825,P=0.042),while vacci-nation was associated with a reduced risk(OR:0.558,95%CI:0.312-0.998,P=0.049).COVID-19 infection mildly altered immune profiles,with modest dif-ferences in autoantibody positivity,lymphocyte distribution,and immunoglobulin levels.Notably,HLA-DR3 po-sitive children with a history of COVID-19 infection had an earlier T1D onset and lower fasting C-peptide levels than the HLA-DR3 negative children with a history of infection(both P<0.05).CONCLUSION COVID-19 infection predisposes children to severe T1D,characterized by enhanced DKA risk.Inactivated vaccination significantly lowers DKA incidence at T1D onset.These findings are valuable for guiding future vaccination and T1D risk surveillance strategies in epidemic scenarios in the general pediatric population.

Major methods of seismic anisotropy

Seismic anisotropy reveals that seismic wave velocity, amplitude, and other physical properties show variations in different directions, which can be divided into lattice-preferred orientation(LPO) and shape-preferred orientation(SPO) according to its physical mechanisms. The main methods for studying seismic anisotropy include shearwave splitting analysis, P-wave travel time inversion and surface-wave tomography, etc. There are some differences and correlations among these methods. Seismic anisotropy is an important way to reveal the dynamic processes of crust-mantle evolution, and it is significant for monitoring crustal stress changes and improve seismic exploration studies. With the help of long-term observation, the application of machine learning techniques and combining inversion based on multiple phases would become potential developments in seismic anisotropy studies. This may improve the understanding of complex seismic anisotropic models, such as multiple layers anisotropy with an oblique axis of symmetry.
