High concentrations of nitrite stress aquatic animals, leading to significant fish and shrimp deaths as well as environmental pollution. Reducing nitrite levels in high-density aquaculture is crucial for both aquaculture safety and environmental protection. Nitrite reductase (NiR) can rapidly reduce nitrite in water, offering potential applications in aquaculture and water treatment.

Understanding the impact of irradiation and temperature on the mechanical properties of GaN single crystals holds significant relevance for rational designs and applications of GaN-based transistors, lasers, and sensors. This study systematically investigates the influence of C-ion irradiation and temperature on pop-in events, hardness, Young's modulus, and fracture behavior of GaN single crystals through nanoindentation experiments. In comparison with unirradiated GaN samples, the pop-in phenomenon for ion-irradiated GaN samples is associated with a larger critical indentation load, which decreases with increasing temperature.

In terms of carbon-atom hybridization, well-established forms of carbon are the first carbon diamond with three-dimensional sp-hybridized carbon atoms and the second carbon graphite with two-dimensional sp-hybridized carbon atoms which have been known and utilized for millennia. Sequentially, there is the third carbon, , carbyne with one-dimensional (1D) sp-hybridized carbon atoms, which would result in an allotrope of carbon. Here, we demonstrate that carbyne nanocrystals (CNCs) are 1D van der Waals crystals (1D-vdWCs) composed of 1D carbon chains with sp-hybridized carbon atoms, and van der Waals action occurs between carbon chains based on an atomic insight into 1D sp-carbon chains.

Four-color emission modulated by the molecular chain length from white carbon (carbyne crystals) is observed. It is also established that a carbyne molecule with four carbon atoms is the basic unit or building block to construct carbyne crystals, where the chain length of the carbyne molecule in the synthesized carbyne crystals follows the rule of 4n (n = 1, 2, 3, …).

A series of 1,3-benzoazole derivatives possessing amide moieties were designed, synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors against human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH). Compounds A11, A14 and A26 exhibited good to excellent activities against hDHODH at the concentration of 10μM. In particular, compound A14 displayed an IC50 value of 0.

In the present study, we investigate the function of ROS-AKT-mTOR axis on the apoptosis, proliferation and autophagy of MC3T3-E1 cells, and the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells after autophagy inhibition under high glucose conditions. MC3T3-E1 cells cultured in vitro were divided into the following groups: normal control group, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) group, 11.0 mM high glucose group, 11.

Diabetic osteoporosis represents a serious health condition with increasing incidence. Previous studies have shown that microRNA (miR)-335-5p is highly expressed in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts and promotes their differentiation via downregulating the expression of dickkopf‑1 (DKK1). The present study investigated the effects of miR‑335‑5p on apoptosis of osteoblasts induced by high glucose (HG), as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Carbyne is the one-dimensional allotrope of carbon composed of sp-hybridized carbon atoms. Definitive evidence for carbyne has remained elusive despite its synthesis and preparation in the laboratory. Given the remarkable technological breakthroughs offered by other allotropes of carbon, including diamond, graphite, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, interest in carbyne and its unusual potential properties remains intense.

A novel semi-rigid latent chromophore E1, containing an amide subunit activated by an adjacent semi-rigid intramolecular hydrogen-bonding (IHB) unit, was designed for the detection of fluoride ion by the 'naked-eye' in CH3CN. Comparative studies on structural analogs (E2, E3, and E4) provided significant insight into the structural and functional role of the amide N-H and IHB segment in the selective recognition of fluoride ions. The deprotonation of the amide N-H followed by the enhancement of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) induced the colorimetric detection of E1 for fluoride ion.

In the present study, the clinical efficacy and safety of administering insulin glargine to early type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus patients with a high risk for cardiovascular disease were assessed. A total of 42 early T2D patients at a high risk for cardiovascular disease were randomly divided into an insulin-glargine group and a standard-care group. The patients in the insulin-glargine group received oral antidiabetic agents plus glargine once a day via a subcutaneous injection.

More recently, motivated by extensively technical applications of carbon nanostructures, there is a growing interest in exploring novel non-carbon nanostructures. As the nearest neighbor of carbon in the periodic table, boron has exceptional properties of low volatility and high melting point and is stronger than steel, harder than corundum, and lighter than aluminum. Boron nanostructures thus are expected to have broad applications in various circumstances.

Objective: To characterize the profile of chromosomal imbalances in esophageal cancer (EC) with or without family history in Linzhou, Henan Province of China.

Methods: Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was used to examine 13 cases with positive family history of EC and 32 cases with negative family history of EC. RESULTS DNA copy number gains on chromosome 10q was observed only in the cases with postivie family history of EC (30%), and none in cases with a negative family history (P<0.

We combined classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with ab initio calculations to study the electronic structure evolution of DNA during its conformation transition process. By using MD simulation, we obtained the conformation transition trajectory of an oligonucleotide poly(dC)-poly(dG), from which we selected a series of representative conformations and then performed ab initio calculations for these conformations to reveal their electronic structures. Counterintuitively, the results indicate that during the conformation transition process of DNA, thermal fluctuation plays a more important role than global conformation parameters in affecting the electronic structure of DNA.
