A one-pot hydrothermal reaction was proposed to synthesize Cu-doped BiOCO. Doping Cu with smaller electronegativity than that of Bi and electrochemical reconstruction on BiOCO optimize the hybridization between Bi 6p of BiOCO and O 2p of *OCHO, acquiring FE of ∼100% at a current density of >100 mA cm over a wide pH range.

Research on virus/receptor interactions has uncovered various mechanisms of antibody-mediated neutralization against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, understanding of neutralization by antibodies targeting the silent face, which recognize epitopes on glycan shields, remains limited, and their potential protective efficacy in vivo is not well understood. This study describes a silent face neutralizing antibody, 3711, which targets a non-supersite on the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the spike protein.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which tissues and organs are exposed to a hyperglycemic environment for a prolonged period. Long-term hyperglycemia can cause dysfunction of multiple organs and tissues in the body, leading to diabetic complications such as diabetic cardiomyopathy and diabetic nephropathy. Diabetes and its complications have become one of the key issues that seriously threaten the health of people worldwide.

Human activities have altered the quantity and distribution of cropland, and climate change profoundly affects crop productivity. However, the spatiotemporal patterns and driving mechanisms of crop productivity remain unclear. Here, we analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of Chinese crop productivity using long-term satellite observation data.

The oriental armyworm, , generally migrates from eastern to northeastern China in early summer, and some individuals are believed to migrate overseas to Japan depending on meteorological conditions. This potential migration was investigated with the immigrants' strontium radiogenic isotope ratio Sr/Sr and backward flight trajectories from Japanese trapping sites. The results showed that the Sr/Sr ratios of Chinese reared were significantly higher than those of reared insects of Japanese immigration areas.

The adverse conditions of the garbage incineration process can lead to the generation of dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This study aimed to investigate the removal efficiency and possible cross-coupling effect of 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorodibenzo--dioxin (1,2,3,4-TCDD) and six coexisting low-molecular-weight PAHs during photodegradation on the fly ash surface. Due to their higher photoreactivity and light-shielding effect, the six PAHs exhibited inhibitory effects on the photodegradation of 1,2,3,4-TCDD, causing a reduction of 4.

Oxidative stress (OS) is believed to be a significant factor in the decline of semen quality, with mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) serving as a sensitive biomarker for both semen quality and mitochondrial dysfunction resulting from oxidative stress. While glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are commonly known as 'antioxidant' enzymes, there is ongoing debate regarding the relationship between GST genotypes and semen quality. In a study involving 568 male volunteers from the outpatient department of Puyang Reproductive Medicine Center, sperm mtDNAcn, semen quality, and GSTM1/GSTT1 genotypes were analyzed to investigate the potential link between GSTM1/GSTT1 gene variations and semen quality, as well as the impact of GSTs gene variations on the connection between sperm mtDNAcn and semen quality.

Article Synopsis
  • * Scientists used special imaging to see that α-syn can group together in large clusters on these membranes but stay far apart from each other.
  • * Some mutations in α-syn can make these clusters grow too big, which may lead to problems in the brain related to Parkinson's disease.

The existing literature provides little insight into the efficacy of transoral endoscopy in exposing benign tumors originating from salivary glands in the parapharyngeal space at the parotid gland base and resecting part of the deep lobe with a safe margin. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of the endoscopic transoral approach for the visualization and resection of such tumors. Through transoral endoscopic cadaveric dissections and surgical procedures, we examined the anatomical structures of the parapharyngeal space and the deep lobe of the parotid gland, identifying key anatomical landmarks.

Article Synopsis
  • A new camellia oil composite oleogel (SX@G-CO) was developed using polysaccharides (sodium alginate and xanthan gum) and glycerol monolaurate (GML), enhancing its structure and performance.
  • The polysaccharides improved the oleogel's thermal stability, viscosity, and oil binding capacity, while GML added crystal diversity and antimicrobial properties against E.coli.
  • In vivo tests showed that SX@G-CO effectively promoted healing in burn wounds in mice, reducing infection and inflammation, with results similar to existing ointments, suggesting its potential for clinical use in burn care.

Article Synopsis
  • Amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein are linked to Parkinson's disease, with the C-terminal's intrinsically disordered region (IDR) playing a key role in receptor interactions that promote disease progression.
  • Researchers identified a compound called Givinostat (GS) through high-throughput screening that effectively disrupts these interactions and developed a lead compound, GSD-16-24, by optimizing GS.
  • GSD-16-24 binds to the C-terminal IDR of α-syn, blocking fibril-receptor binding, which reduces neuronal spread and inflammation linked to Parkinson's, suggesting a new therapeutic strategy.

Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) during gestation and lactation is considered to be a potential risk factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in both humans and animals. As a novel alternative to BPA, 4-hydroxy-4'-isopropoxydiphenylsulfone (BPSIP) is frequently detected in breast milk and placental barrier systems, suggesting potential transmission from the mother to offspring and increased risk of exposure. Gestation and lactation are critical periods for central nervous system development, which are vulnerable to certain environmental pollutants.
