The pervasive use of the plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) poses potential risks to global aquatic ecosystems. This study systematically evaluated the adverse effects of chronic exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of DEHP on gill tissues of crucian carp, utilizing histological examination, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analysis. The results demonstrated that DEHP induced significant histopathological alterations in gill tissues, with significant enrichment observed in multiple pathways associated with amino acid, hormone, lipid, and xenobiotic metabolism.

Inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) via sonocatalysis to initiate inflammatory programmed cell death (PANoptosis) and immunogenic cell death (ICD) presents a promising strategy for activatable cancer immunotherapy. However, the limited ROS generation by sonosensitizers under ultrasound and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment hinder the efficiency of sono-immunotherapy. To overcome these challenges, a bismuth-based ternary heterojunction, Bi@BiO-Pt-PEG (BBOP), was developed for sonocatalytic therapy aimed at activating immune responses.

Background: The rising prevalence of pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) to non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors threatens the effectiveness of ART. In response, the WHO recommends dolutegravir-based ART regimens due to their high genetic barrier to resistance and better treatment outcomes. This is expected to contribute to achieving the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) target of 95% viral suppression in people on ART.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how the source level of an electrodynamic transducer, which uses a passive pressure compensation airbag, decreases in ultra-low frequency bands (<100 Hz) as depth increases, especially in deep water (>200 m).
  • - A theoretical model using a distributed-parameter equivalent circuit was developed to understand this phenomenon and found that the decrease in acoustic compliance at greater depths raises the resonant frequency, leading to a lower source level.
  • - Tests confirm that a distributed-parameter model accurately predicts resonant frequencies in deep water and demonstrate that using active pressure compensation can significantly enhance acoustic performance in ultra-low frequencies at larger depths.

Background: Effective targets for systolic blood-pressure control in patients with type 2 diabetes are unclear.

Methods: We enrolled patients 50 years of age or older with type 2 diabetes, elevated systolic blood pressure, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease at 145 clinical sites across China. Patients were randomly assigned to receive intensive treatment that targeted a systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg or standard treatment that targeted a systolic blood pressure of less than 140 mm Hg for up to 5 years.

YpsR, a pivotal regulatory protein in the quorum-sensing (QS) of (), is essential for molecular signaling, yet its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Herein, this study systematically investigates the interactions between YpsR and acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs), shedding light on the selective mechanism of YpsR to various AHL molecules. Using molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis, we confirmed YpsR's binding affinities, with the strongest observed for 3OC6-HSL, which notably inhibited growth.

Recently, photocatalytic technology has been widely used as a sustainable method to address environmental pollution issues. Herein, BiOCl/Bi-MOF (BOC/Bi-MOF) based semiconductor photocatalysts with S-scheme heterojunction were fabricated by an in situ growth method, and the photocatalytic activity of the materials was explored for CO reduction and pollutant degradation. As confirmed by density functional theory calculations and physiochemical characterizations, the established S-scheme heterojunction confers enhanced carrier separation efficiency and retention of redox capability to the BOC/Bi-MOF.

Accurate differentiation and identification of flea species are essential for both basic and applied research on fleas, as well as for the diagnosis of flea-borne diseases. However, distinguishing between flea species can be challenging, especially among those with minimal morphological differences. Therefore, some scholars have suggested the necessity of comprehensive revisions to the classification of fleas, incorporating morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic data.

The low degradation rate of lignocellulose limits the humification process of citrus organic waste composting. This study explored the roles of general microbial inoculation (GM), citrus waste-derived function microbial inoculation (CM), and CM combined with biochar (CMB) in citrus waste compost. Results showed microbial inoculations all promoted lignocellulose degradation and humus formation, but the roles of CM and CMB were better than GM, especially CMB.

Background And Objective: Preoperative understanding of white matter anatomy, including its spatial relationship with pathology and superficial landmarks, is vital for effective surgical planning. The ability to interactively synthesize neural pathways from diffusion data and dynamically discern neuroanatomy-referenced fiber patterns enables neurosurgeons to construct detailed mental models of the patient's brain and assess surgical risks. We present a novel interactive software designed for real-time mining of neural pathways from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) data.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by hypoxia and low immunogenicity, with a dense and rigid extracellular matrix (ECM) that impedes the diffusion of therapeutic agents and immune cells, thereby limiting the efficacy of immunotherapy. To overcome these challenges, an oxygen defect piezoelectric-photothermal sensitizer, bismuth vanadate nanorod-supported platinum nanodots (BVP) is developed. The integration of platinum enhances the photothermal effect and improves charge separation efficiency under ultrasound, leading to increased heat generation and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxygen.
