Traumatic brain injury (TBI) presents significant risks concerning mortality and morbidity. Individuals who suffer from TBI may exhibit mood disorders, including anxiety and depression. Both preclinical and clinical research have established correlations between TBI and disturbances in the metabolism of amino acids, lipids, iron, zinc, and copper, which are implicated in the emergence of mood disorders post-TBI.

Efficient U(VI) removal by TiCT nanosheets modified with sulfidated nano zero-valent iron: Batch experiments, mechanism, and biotoxicity assessment.

The MXenes, a new class of two-dimensional layered materials, have found extensive applications in water treatment for its excellent thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and excellent adsorption ability. Sulfidized nano zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) is a good reducing agent, however, the practical application of S-nZVI is currently restricted due to the tendency of nano materials to agglomerate. Herein, MXenes use as a support and in situ loading S-nZVI on it to prepare a new material (S-nZVI/TiCT), and applied it to U(VI) removal in water treatment.

Selection of antioxidants for capacitor grade polypropylene film: Insights into electrical performance of the oil-film system.

High voltage power capacitors employ the oil-impregnated polypropylene film as the insulation. The swelling phenomenon might drive the antioxidants and small molecules within the film to migrate into the oil. It is necessary to comprehensively investigate the physical migration mechanism of antioxidants and their impact on the electrical performance of the oil-film combination insulation system and, consequently, formulate the proper selective prescription of antioxidants.

A translocation fluorescent probe for analyzing cellular physiological parameters in neurological disease models.

Neurological disorders are closely linked to the alterations in cell membrane permeability (CMP) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Changes in CMP and MMP may lead to damage and death of nerve cells, thus triggering the onset and progression of neurological diseases. Therefore, monitoring the changes of these two physiological parameters not only benefits the accurate assessment of nerve cell health status, but also enables providing key information for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases.

As a model organism in biohydrometallurgy, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans can obtain energy from the oxidation of ferrous iron (Fe2+) and various reduced inorganic sulfides (RISCs) under acidic conditions. To determine the linkage between genomic DNA methylation and the switching between the two oxidative metabolic pathways in A.

Always positive covalent organic nanosheet enabling pH-independent adsorption and removal of Cr(Ⅵ).

Rapid and highly effective removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(Ⅵ)) is extremely vital to water resources restoration and environmental protection. To overcome the pH limitation faced by most ionic absorbents, an always positive covalent organic nanosheet (CON) material was prepared and its Cr(VI) adsorption and removal capability was investigated in detail. As-prepared EB-TFB CON (TFB = 1,3,5-benzaldehyde, EB = ethidium bromide) shows strong electropositivity in the tested pH range of 1 ∼ 10, display a pH-independent Cr(VI) removal ability, and work well for Cr(VI) pollution treatment with good anti-interference capability and reusability in a wide pH range covering almost all Cr(VI)-contaminated real water samples, thus eliminating the requirement for pH adjustment.

Vitamin D/vitamin D receptor pathway in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, but underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In recent years, a growing body of evidence has emphasized the therapeutic role of vitamin D in NAFLD, but the specific mechanism remains to be investigated.

Areas Covered: This review summarized the roles of vitamin D/VDR (vitamin D receptor) pathway in different types of liver cells (such as hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, liver macrophages, T lymphocytes, and other hepatic immune cells) in case of NAFLD.

The pentraxin family in autoimmune disease.

The pentraxins represent a family of multifunctional proteins composed of long and short pentamers. The latter includes serum amyloid P component (SAP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) whereas the former includes neuronal PTX1 and PTX2 (NPTX1 and NPTX2, respectively), PTX3 and PTX4. These serve as a bridge between adaptive immunity and innate immunity and a link between inflammation and immunity.

A Switch-On Affinity-Based Iridium(III) Conjugate Probe for Imaging Mitochondrial Glutathione -Transferase in Breast Cancer Cells.

Glutathione -transferase is heterogeneously expressed in breast cancer cells and is therefore emerging as a potential diagnostic biomarker for studying the heterogeneity of breast cancers. However, available fluorescent probes for GSTs depend heavily on GSTs-catalyzed glutathione (GSH) nucleophilic substitution reactions, making them susceptible to interference by the high concentration of nucleophilic species in the cellular environment. Moreover, the functions of subcellular GSTs are generally overlooked due to the lack of suitable luminescence probes.

Nanosecond pulsed electric field ablation-induced modulation of sphingolipid metabolism is associated with Ly6c2 mononuclear phagocyte differentiation in liver cancer.

Preclinical studies have proven that nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) ablation can be a safe and effective treatment for humans with unresectable liver cancer that are ineligible for thermal ablation. The concomitant activation of antitumor immunity by nsPEF can also potentially prevent tumor recurrence. However, whether nsPEF exhibits similar efficacy in a clinical setting remains to be investigated.
