Accurately predicting the density variation trend of water-bearing crude oil in high-CO-concentration production wells is of great significance for forecasting wellbore fluid flow dynamics and designing lifting processes at different stages of development. Indoor experiments were conducted on the CO-water-bearing crude oil system, measuring the crude oil density under various conditions of temperature, pressure, CO concentration, and water cut. The study explored the behavior of crude oil density under different working conditions, and a predictive model for high-CO-concentration water-bearing crude oil density was developed using multiple regression analysis.

The global eradication of canine-mediated human rabies remains an ongoing public health priority. While conventional oral rabies vaccines (ORVs) have demonstrated partial success in interrupting zoonotic transmission, current formulations necessitate improvements in both immunogenic profiles and mechanistic clarity. Herein, we present a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-vectored vaccine candidate (rVSVΔG-ERA-G) engineered to express the glycoprotein of the rabies virus (RABV) ERA strain, substituting the native VSV glycoprotein.

Photodynamic therapy has established itself as a clinical treatment for certain superficial cancers by converting oxygen into cytotoxic singlet oxygen to eradicate cancer cells. Porphyrin-based nanoscale metal-organic frameworks have emerged as promising photosensitive platforms due to their ability to prevent the hydrophobic aggregation quenching of porphyrin molecules and enhance accumulation at the tumor site, thereby becoming a focal point in photodynamic materials research. However, the elevated levels of glutathione and other reductive substances within cancer cells can alleviate the oxidative stress induced by singlet oxygen from the photodynamic therapy process, thus protecting intracellular biomolecular structures from damage.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the specific effects of glucocorticoids (GC) on the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and whether this effect is influenced by the timing and dosage of GC administration. Changes in the neutrophil percentage and the helper/suppressor T lymphocyte ratio [NEUT %/(CD4+/CD8+)] during GC administration were monitored.

Methods: The clinical results of 130 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with ICIs were analyzed and compared with those of patients who did not use GC.

Soil minerals and glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), as key soil binding agents, play a crucial role in enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, the key driving mechanisms of SOC accumulation process mediated by soil minerals and GRSP remain poorly understood in the arid elevation gradients. This study aimed to evaluate how soil minerals and GRSP affect SOC accumulation across an elevation gradient ranging from 1707 to 3548 m a.

Coastal wetlands contain very large carbon (C) stocks-termed as blue C-and their management has emerged as a promising nature-based solution for climate adaptation and mitigation. The interactions among sources, pools, and molecular compositions of soil organic C (SOC) within blue C ecosystems (BCEs) remain elusive. Here, we explore these interactions along an 18,000 km long coastal line of salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses in China.

Porphyrin's excellent biocompatibility and modifiability make it a widely studied photoactive material. However, its large π-bond conjugated structure leads to aggregation and precipitation in physiological solutions, limiting the biomedical applications of porphyrin-based photoactive materials. It has been demonstrated through research that fabricating porphyrin molecules into nanoscale covalent organic frameworks (COFs) structures can circumvent issues such as poor dispersibility resulting from hydrophobicity, thereby significantly augmenting the photoactivity of porphyrin materials.

Due to the abuse of antibiotics, a large amount of antibiotics has been entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), but the pollution of antibiotics in township WWTPs has not attracted much attention. To understand the contamination level and removal characteristics, and the risks to aquatic organisms and human health, samples collected from the inlet and outlet of 15 township WWTPs were investigated. The results showed that tetracyclines (TCs) had the highest concentration in the inlet and outlet waters, in which the concentrations of TC and oxytetracycline (OTC) reached (4 943.

Porphyrins-based nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) has been widely utilized to kills tumor cells by generating cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, porphyrin based nMOFs (por-nMOFs) still face challenges such as rapid immune clearance and weak tumor targeting. Researchers have discovered that using a top-down biomimetic strategy, where nMOFs are coated with cell membranes, can promote long blood circulation, evade the reticuloendothelial system, and improve cancer cell targeting, thereby significantly enhancing the photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect of nMOFs.

Coastal wetland ecosystems play a key role in the global carbon cycle and climate mitigation. The land conversion of coastal wetlands to paddy fields, an increasingly common practice to feed the growing population, has been shown to dramatically stimulate the methane emissions of (CH). However, the knowledge about how such wetland conversion affects the methane oxidation, a key process regulating methane emissions from coastal wetlands, is nearly unknown.

Photodynamic therapy and ferroptosis induction have risen as vanguard oncological interventions, distinguished by their precision and ability to target vulnerabilities in cancer cells. Photodynamic therapy's non-invasive profile and selective cytotoxicity complement ferroptosis' unique mode of action, which exploits iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, offering a pathway to overcome chemoresistance with lower systemic impact. The synergism between photodynamic therapy and ferroptosis is underscored by the depletion of glutathione and glutathione peroxidase four inhibitions by photodynamic therapy-induced reactive oxygen species, amplifying lipid peroxidation and enhancing ferroptotic cell death.
