Enhancing Optical Properties of Lead-Free CsNaBiCl Nanocrystals via Indium Alloying.

This study presents the synthesis and characterization of CsNaBiCl nanocrystals (NCs) doped with varying concentrations of In to improve their luminescent properties. Utilizing a colloidal solution method, we systematically varied the In concentration to identify the optimal alloying level for enhancing the photoluminescence (PL) properties of the CsNaBiCl NCs. Structural analysis confirmed that the In-alloyed NCs maintained high crystallinity and a uniform cubic shape.

High-entropy PtNiFeCoCu nanocrystalline crystals in situ grown on reduced graphene oxide with excellent electromagnetic absorption properties.

The high entropy alloy is a powerful material due to its high hardness, strength, magnetic performance, corrosion resistance, and temperature stability. Moreover, when combined with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), it formed a novel material for electromagnetic (EM) absorption. In this work, monodisperse high entropy alloy nanocrystals combined with rGO to create a new type of high entropy alloy/rGO EM absorption material.

PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy inhibits osteoblast apoptosis induced by advanced oxidation protein products.

Osteoblast apoptosis plays an important role in age-related bone loss and osteoporosis. Our previous study revealed that advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) could induce nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cause mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) depolarization, trigger the mitochondria-dependent intrinsic apoptosis pathway, and lead to osteoblast apoptosis and ultimately osteopenia and bone microstructural destruction. In this study, we found that AOPPs also induced mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) generation in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, which was closely related to NOX-derived ROS, and aggravated the oxidative stress condition, thereby further promoting apoptosis.

Effect of Advanced Oxidation Protein Products (AOPPs) and aging on the osteoclast differentiation of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) and its preliminary mechanism.

To verify the osteoclast differentiation ability of MDSCs from mice of different ages and explore the effect of AOPPs on the osteoclast differentiation of bone marrow MDSCs. Bone marrow cells from C57BL/6 (a.k.

Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide inhibits vascular calcification via anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects in chronic kidney disease.

Vascular calcification is very common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but so far, there is no effective treatment. Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide (DOP), a natural component of Chinese herbal medicine, has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activity. Inflammation and apoptosis play an essential role in the progression of vascular calcification.

Pretreatment with kaempferol attenuates microglia-mediate neuroinflammation by inhibiting MAPKs-NF-κB signaling pathway and pyroptosis after secondary spinal cord injury.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating injury that characterized by oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Kaempferol is reported to be an anti-neuroinflammation in neurologic disorders. Nevertheless, the role and mechanism of kaempferol in SCI remains unclear.

Advanced oxidation protein products induce microglia-mediated neuroinflammation via MAPKs-NF-κB signaling pathway and pyroptosis after secondary spinal cord injury.

Background: Inflammatory response mediated by oxidative stress is considered as an important pathogenesis of spinal cord injury (SCI). Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are novel markers of oxidative stress and their role in inflammatory response after SCI remained unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of AOPPs in SCI pathogenesis and explore the possible underlying mechanisms.

A preliminary study of a novel robotic system for pedicle screw fixation: A randomised controlled trial.

Background And Objective: Existing orthopaedic robotic systems are almost restricted to provide guidance for trajectory direction. In the present study, a novel spinal robotic system with automatic drilling power was introduced. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety in pedicle screw ​insertion of posterior lumbar interbody fusion assisted by this novel robotic system.

Advanced oxidation protein products increase TNF-α and IL-1β expression in chondrocytes via NADPH oxidase 4 and accelerate cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis progression.

Interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, in particular, control the degeneration of articular cartilage, making them prime targets for osteoarthritis (OA) therapeutic strategies. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are prevalent in numerous diseases. Our previous work demonstrates that intra-articular injections of AOPPs accelerate regression of cartilage in OA models.
