Puerarin-Loaded Liposomes Co-Modified by Ischemic Myocardium-Targeting Peptide and Triphenylphosphonium Cations Ameliorate Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.

Purpose: Mitochondrial damage may lead to uncontrolled oxidative stress and massive apoptosis, and thus plays a pivotal role in the pathological processes of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, it is difficult for the drugs such as puerarin (PUE) to reach the mitochondrial lesion due to lack of targeting ability, which seriously affects the expected efficacy of drug therapy for myocardial I/R injury.

Methods: We prepared triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cations and ischemic myocardium-targeting peptide (IMTP) co-modified puerarin-loaded liposomes (PUE@T/I-L), which effectively deliver the drug to mitochondria and improve the effectiveness of PUE in reducing myocardial I/R injury.

Construction of an effective method combining in situ capping with electric field-enhanced biodegradation for treating PAH-contaminated soil at abandoned coking sites.

The simultaneous application of in situ capping and electro-enhanced biodegradation may be a suitable method for ensuring the feasibility and safety of reusing abandoned coking sites. However, the capping layer type and applied electric field pattern may affect the efficiency of sequestering and removing pollutants. This study investigated changes in electric current, soil moisture content and pH, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentration, bacterial number, and microbial community structure and metabolic function during soil remediation at abandoned coking plant sites under different applied electric field patterns and barrier types.

Multiple delivery strategies of nanocarriers for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury: current strategies and future prospective.

Acute myocardial infarction, characterized by high morbidity and mortality, has now become a serious health hazard for human beings. Conventional surgical interventions to restore blood flow can rapidly relieve acute myocardial ischemia, but the ensuing myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) and subsequent heart failure have become medical challenges that researchers have been trying to overcome. The pathogenesis of MI/RI involves several mechanisms, including overproduction of reactive oxygen species, abnormal mitochondrial function, calcium overload, and other factors that induce cell death and inflammatory responses.

Effect of electric fields strength on soil factors and microorganisms during electro-bioremediation of benzo[a]pyrene-contaminated soil.

Electro-bioremediation is a promising technology for remediating soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, the resulting electrokinetic effects and electrochemical reactions may inevitably cause changes in soil factors and microorganism, thereby reducing the remediation efficiency. To avoid negative effect of electric field on soil and microbes and maximize microbial degradability, it is necessary to select a suitable electric field.

Treatment of PAHs contaminated soil in abandoned industrial site using combined method of improved in situ capping and electrokinetic enhanced-bioremediation.

In situ capping and bioremediation are common technologies for treating contaminated soil at industrial sites. However, these two technologies have some shortcomings for treating soil heavily contaminated with organic matter, such as the limited adsorption in capping layer and the low biodegradation efficiency. This study proposed the method of an improved in situ capping combined with electrokinetic enhanced-bioremediation, and investigated its feasibility for treating heavily polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated soil at an abandoned industrial site.

Enhanced protection against hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cells by puerarin-loaded liposomes modified with matrix metalloproteinases-targeting peptide and triphenylphosphonium.

Based on the inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, puerarin (PUE) has a good potential to reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). However, the lack of targeting of free PUE makes it difficult to reach the mitochondria. In this paper, we constructed matrix metalloproteinase-targeting peptide (MMP-TP) and triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cation co-modified liposomes loaded with PUE (PUE@T/M-L) for mitochondria-targeted drug delivery.

Construction of SNP fingerprint and population genetic analysis of honeysuckle germplasm resources in China.

Introduction: The flower buds of Thunb. are widely used in Chinese medicine for their anti-inflammatory properties, and they have played an important role in the fight against SARS COVID-19 and other major epidemics. However, due to the lack of scientific and accurate variety identification methods and national unified standards, scattered and non-standardized management in flower bud production has led to mixed varieties that have caused significant difficulties in the cataloging and preservation of germplasm resources and the identification, promotion, and application of new varieties.
