This research aims to explore the clinical presentations and phenotypic characteristics of cutaneous anthrax patients and evaluate the efficacy of various therapeutic approaches.

Bifunctional Nanocellulose@MOF composite aerogel for selective fluorescent detection and efficient removal of tetracycline.

The antibiotic tetracycline (TC) significantly pollutes water bodies, adversely impacting ecosystems and human health. In this work, a bifunctional platform for simultaneous detection and removal of TC was successfully constructed by in-situ growth of Zr-MOF in BC microspheres. The in-situ growth ensured the stability, while the design of the aerogel microspheres improved the processability, convenience, and recyclability.

Nanozyme-chitosan-aerogel immobilized enzyme-driven biocatalytic cascade for therapeutic engineering of diabetic wounds.

A novel strategy that has emerged in recent years involves the use of aerogels for anti-inflammatory treatment, which has been extensively studied for its powerful application prospects in wound healing, diabetic complications, and tissue regeneration. However, the therapeutic efficacy of aerogels alone is compromised due to bacterial infections at the wound site. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate effective antibacterial systems onto the aerogels to enhance their efficacy against bacterial infections.

Search for the Exclusive W Boson Hadronic Decays W^{±}→π^{±}γ, W^{±}→K^{±}γ and W^{±}→ρ^{±}γ with the ATLAS Detector.

A search for the exclusive hadronic decays W^{±}→π^{±}γ, W^{±}→K^{±}γ, and W^{±}→ρ^{±}γ is performed using up to 140  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13  TeV. If observed, these rare processes would provide a unique test bench for the quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism used to calculate cross sections at colliders. Additionally, at future colliders, these decays could offer a new way to measure the W boson mass through fully reconstructed decay products.

Effects of salinity on iron-organic carbon binding in the rhizosphere of Kandelia obovata: Insights from root exudate analysis.

Iron (Fe) oxides in wetland soils are crucial for stabilizing soil organic carbon (SOC) by forming stable Fe-OC complexes, thus protecting SOC from microbial breakdown and aiding its preservation. This study delves into the response of Fe (hydr-)oxides to salt stress, a relatively unexplored area, by examining Kandelia obovata, a key mangrove species. Through controlled climate chamber experiments, we investigated how salt stress affects the interactions between Fe (hydr-)oxides and SOC in root exudates (REs) and rhizosphere soils.

Prediction of perovskite oxygen vacancies for oxygen electrocatalysis at different temperatures.

Efficient catalysts are imperative to accelerate the slow oxygen reaction kinetics for the development of emerging electrochemical energy systems ranging from room-temperature alkaline water electrolysis to high-temperature ceramic fuel cells. In this work, we reveal the role of cationic inductive interactions in predetermining the oxygen vacancy concentrations of 235 cobalt-based and 200 iron-based perovskite catalysts at different temperatures, and this trend can be well predicted from machine learning techniques based on the cationic lattice environment, requiring no heavy computational and experimental inputs. Our results further show that the catalytic activity of the perovskites is strongly correlated with their oxygen vacancy concentration and operating temperatures.

Atomic Infusion Induced Reconstruction Enhances Multifunctional Thermally Conductive Films for Robust Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Absorption.

Deterministic fabrication of highly thermally conductive composite film with satisfying low-frequency electromagnetic (EM) absorption performance exhibits great potential in advancing the application of 5G smart electric devices but persists challenge. Herein, a multifunctional flexible film combined with hetero-structured FeWC-FeWO@C (FWC-O@C) as the absorber and aramid nanofibers (ANFs) as the matrix was prepared. Driven by an atomic gradient infusion reduction strategy, the carbon atoms of absorbers can be precisely relocated from carbon shell to core oxometallate lattice, triggering in situ carbothermic reduction for customization of unique oxometallate-carbide heterojunctions and surface geometrical structure.

Exercise in ozone-polluted air evokes pathological cardiac hypertrophy via up-regulation of nuclear lncRNA EYA4-au1 and recruiting Med11 to activating EYA4/p27kip1/CK2α/HDAC2 cascade.

Engaging in exercise in an ozone (O)-polluted environment can lead to lung damage, respiratory inflammation, and deterioration in performance, however, the effects on the heart are undefined. Herein, we report that rats performing moderate-intensity exercise under O-polluted air evoked pathological myocardial hypertrophy (MH). O exposure increased serum levels of MH-promoting factors (angiotensin II [AngII], endothelin-1 [ET-1], and cyclophilin A [CyPA]), and decreased expression of MH-inhibiting factors (adiponectin [ADPN], follistatin-like protein 1 [FSTL1], and apelin).
