UiO-66(Ce) was prepared from cerium metal, which could trigger Fenton-like reactions. A system DOX@UiO-66(Ce)@TA-Fe was constructed by coating a metal polyphenol layer (TA-Fe) on the surface of DOX@UiO-66(Ce), which was loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). It could produce reactive oxygen species to realize chemodynamic therapy and show stimuli-responsive drug release behaviors to realize chemotherapy.

However, the effective activation of ICD during RT is severely limited by radiation dose, weak tumor immunogenicity, and radio-resistance caused by tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a novel bimetallic hybrid nanoscale coordination nanostimulator is first proposed by phosphate backbone doped with copper ions (Cu) and hafnium ions (Hf), and then modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).

NADPH oxidase, as a major source of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), assumes an important role in the immune response and oxidative stress response of the body. NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) is the first and most representative member of the NADPH oxidase family, and its effects on the development of tumor cells are gaining more and more attention. Our previous study suggested that NCF4 polymorphism in p40phox, a key subunit of NOX2, affected the outcome of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients treated with rituximab.

We studied the clinical and genotypic characteristics of children with childhood onset CPS1D caused by two loci mutations (one of these is a rarely reported non-frame shift mutation) in the CPS1.
Case Presentation: We present a rare case of adolescent-onset CPS1D that had been misdiagnosed due to atypical clinical features, and further investigations revealed severe hyperammonemia (287µmol/L; reference range 11.

Non-noble metal catalysts now play a key role in promoting efficiently and economically catalytic reduction of CO into clean energy, which is an important strategy to ameliorate global warming and resource shortage issues. Here, a non-noble bimetallic catalyst of CoFe/Fe O nanoparticles is successfully designed with a core-shell structure that is well dispersed on the defect-rich carbon substrate for the hydrogenation of CO under mild conditions. The catalysts exhibit a high CO conversion activity with the rate of 30% and CO selectivity of 99%, and extremely robust stability without performance decay over 90 h in the reverse water gas shift reaction process.
