In-plane heterostructures exhibit extraordinary chemical and electron transfer properties, which have received remarkable research attention. However, the synthesis of an in-plane MoC/MoO heterostructure has been rarely reported, and the deep investigation of the effect of its fine structure on reactivity is of great significance. Notably, the in-plane heterostructures endow the material with abundant grain boundaries, which facilitate the formation of surface acid sites and active oxygen species, thus contributing to the sensing performance.

In-plane heterostructures has attracted considerable interest due to exceptional electron transport properties, high specific surface area, and abundant active sites. However, synthesis of in-plane SnS-SnO heterostructures are rarely reported, and the deep investigation of the fine structure on reactivity is of great significance. Here, we propose partial in-situ oxidation strategy to construct the in-plane SnS-SnO heterostructures and the surface properties, the ratio of two components can be finely tuned by precisely adjusting the treatment temperature.

A Pt nanoparticle-immobilized WO material is a promising candidate for catalytic reactions, and the surface and electronic structure can strongly affect the performance. However, the effect of the intrinsic oxygen vacancy of WO on the d-band structure of Pt and the synergistic effect of Pt and the WO matrix on reaction performance are still ambiguous, which greatly hinders the design of advanced materials. Herein, Pt-decorated WO nanosheets with different electronic metal-support interactions are successfully prepared by finely tuning the oxygen vacancy structure of WO nanosheets.

We investigated possible protective effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) against cyclophosphamide (CP) induced hepatic injury in mice. We measured aminotransferase alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels in the serum. We assayed catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in hepatic tissue.

Article Synopsis
  • Pd-based materials are gaining attention for their excellent hydrogen (H) sensing performance, but the effects of metal support interaction (MSI) on this performance are not well understood.
  • A model material, Pd nanoparticle-decorated WO nanosheet, shows impressive H sensing abilities at low temperatures, particularly with a response rate of 40.63 at 10 ppm H.
  • The study uses DFT calculations to demonstrate that moderate MSI helps increase the mobility of surface O species and the optimal ratio of surface Pd-Pd species, enhancing the sensing performance by facilitating the desorption of PdH species at lower temperatures.

Bergenin (BG) is a polyphenolic substance which has therapeutic potential in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN), a common complication of type II diabetes. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. We studied the protective effects and mechanisms of BG in DN mice, focusing on the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signalling pathway.

Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) attract most of the attention as alterative secondary battery systems for future large-scale energy storage and power batteries due to abundance resource and low cost. However, the lack of anode materials with high-rate performance and high cycling-stability has limited the commercial application of SIBs. In this paper, CuS@N, S co-doped carbon (CuS@NSC) honeycomb-like composite structure was designed and prepared by a one-step high-temperature chemical blowing process.

This research demonstrated the protective effect and possible mechanism of the Sophora viciifolia extract (SVE) against acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice. The levels of ALT and AST in the serum and antioxidant enzyme activity in the liver were measured. We used immunohistochemistry to detect CYP2E1, Nrf2, and Keap1 protein expression in the liver.

Cardiac hypertrophy is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular mortality worldwide. According to a recent study, hypoxia-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress regulating long noncoding RNA (HypERlnc) is significantly reduced in the left ventricular myocardium of heart failure (HF) patients compared with healthy controls. However, the effect of HypERlnc on hypertrophy is unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • Long noncoding RNA-Myosin heavy chain associated RNA transcript (LncRNA-MHRT) has a role in preventing pathological cardiac hypertrophy, although its exact mechanism is not fully understood.
  • The study investigates how MHRT affects protein modification, specifically looking into the SUMOylation of proteins like SIRT1, which is linked to heart function.
  • Results indicate that MHRT not only improves heart function by reducing cardiac hypertrophy but may also offer a promising therapeutic target through its regulation of protein SUMOylation pathways.

Lysozyme, an important antibacterial protein, is an enzyme that cleaves the glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine of peptidoglycan in cell walls. The novel lysozyme was purified and characterized from Chinese Lueyang black-bone silky fowl (CBSF) egg white, and its N-terminal amino acid sequence, enzymatic properties, and antibacterial activity were investigated. The CBSF lysozyme was purified using adsorption chromatography, ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography, and size-exclusion chromatography.
