Comparative genomics of thermosynechococcaceae and thermostichaceae: insights into codon usage bias.

Members of the families Thermosynechococcaceae and Thermostichaceae are well-known unicellular thermophilic cyanobacteria and a non-thermophilic genus was newly classified into the former. Analysis of the codon usage bias (CUB) of cyanobacterial species inhabiting different thermal and non-thermal niches will benefit the understanding of their genetic and evolutionary characteristics. Herein, the CUB and codon context patterns of protein-coding genes were systematically analyzed and compared between members of the two families.

Location-specific net water uptake and malignant cerebral edema in acute anterior circulation occlusion ischemic stroke.

Background And Purpose: Early identification of malignant cerebral edema (MCE) in patients with acute ischemic stroke is crucial for timely interventions. We aimed to identify regions critically associated with MCE using the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) to evaluate the association between location-specific-net water uptake (NWU) and MCE.

Materials And Methods: This multicentre, retrospective cohort study included patients with acute ischemic stroke following large anterior circulation occlusion.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Skews Therapeutic WT1-specific CD8 TCR-T Cells Towards an NK-like Phenotype that Compromises Function and Persistence.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is relapsed and/or refractory post-allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is usually fatal. In a prior study, we demonstrated that AML relapse in high-risk patients was prevented by post-HCT immunotherapy with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific donor CD8 T cells engineered to express a high-affinity Wilms Tumor Antigen 1 (WT1)-specific T-cell receptor (T). However, in the present study, infusion of EBV- or Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T did not clearly improve outcomes in fifteen patients with active disease post-HCT.

Photothermal Self-Healing Black g-CN Nanosheet-Based Coatings: A Novel Approach for Enhanced Anticorrosion and Antibiofouling Protection.

Multifunctional coatings have great application value in the protection of Marine equipment, ships and ship facilities, but they still suffer from the disadvantages of high preparation cost and complicated synthesis methods. Herein, employing a simple method to synthesize black carbon nitride (BCN), as the filler in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to construct BCN/PDMS composite coating with a multifunctional anti-corrosion/antifouling coating capable of photothermal self-healing property. Experimental results exhibit that the BCN/PDMS coating can still possesses excellent corrosion resistance after 28 d of immersion in the simulated seawater, and the impedance modulus still manages to reach 6.

Efficient Photocatalytic Removal of Aqueous Ammonia Nitrogen by g-CN/CoP Heterojunctions Under Visible Light Illumination.

With the development of industry, agriculture, and aquaculture, excessive ammonia nitrogen mainly involving ionic ammonia (NH) and molecular ammonia (NH) has inevitable access to the aquatic environment, posing a severe threat to water safety. Photocatalytic technology shows great advantages for ammonia nitrogen removal, such as its efficiency, reusability, low cost, and environmental friendliness. In this study, CP (g-CN/CoP) composite materials, which exhibited high-efficiency ammonia nitrogen removal, were synthesized through a simple self-assembly method.

Single-atom transition metals supported on B-doped g-CN monolayers for electrochemical nitrogen reduction.

Electrochemical reduction of naturally abundant nitrogen (N) under ambient conditions is a promising method for ammonia (NH) synthesis, while the development of a highly active, stable and low-cost catalyst remains a challenge. Herein, the N reduction reaction of TM@g-BCN in electrochemical nitrogen reduction has been systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and compared with that of TM@g-CN. It was found that TM atoms are more stably anchored to g-BCN than to g-CN.

A novel g-CN/TiO heterojunction for ultrasensitive detection of bisphenol A residues.

Semiconductor heterojunction with functional integration can be used as an excellent matrix for the ultrasensitive detection of bisphenol A (BPA) with low molecular affinity. Here, a simple, low-cost and sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) strategy using g-CN/TiO heterojunction as substrate was presented for detection of BPA residues in foods.

Enhancing Internal Electric Field of Metal-Free Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Photocatalysts for Efficient Photocatalytic Degradation of Tetracycline and CO Reduction.

Constructing alternating donor-acceptor (D-A) units within g-CN represents an effective strategy for enhancing photocatalytic performance through improved charge carrier separation while concurrently addressing energy shortages and facilitating wastewater remediation. Here, a series of D-A-type conjugated photocatalysts (CNBTC-X) are prepared using g-CN as an acceptor unit and different masses of 5-bromo-2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde (BTC) as a donor unit by a one-step thermal polymerization. CNBTC-50 presents higher photocatalytic properties for CO reduction coupled with tetracycline (TC) removal than those of g-CN, CNBTC-10, CNBTC-30, and CNBTC-70.

Dual Ce@g-CN-Photoredox/Chlorine Catalysis: Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling of -Heteroarenes and Alkanes/Ethers with H Evolution.

With Ce@g-CN as a heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalyst, BuNCl as both a redox catalyst and a hydrogen atom transfer catalyst, the first example of semiheterogeneous photocatalytic cross-dehydrogenative coupling of -heteroarenes and alkanes/ethers with H evolution was developed. Both a diverse array of high-value alkylated -heteroarenes and clean H can be efficiently coproduced under sacrificial reagent- and chemical oxidant/reductant-free conditions. Combining both the reversible Ce/Ce redox pair and the reversible Cl̅/Cl ̇ redox pair can considerably improve the photocatalytic efficiency.

Alkali metal cation adsorption-induced surface polarization in polymeric carbon nitride for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production.

Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (HO) generation on the catalyst surface from oxygen is an electron-demanding process, making the construction of an electron-rich surface highly advantageous. In this study, a localized electric field was observed on the surface of polymeric carbon nitride (g-CN) when alkali metal cations were adsorbed onto it. These fields effectively inhibited surface carrier recombination and extended their lifespan, thereby enhancing HO production.
