Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a progressive aortic disease featured by inflammation, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) depletion, and elastin degradation. MicroRNAs were related to AAA formation, which bring the approach for precise and targeted drug therapy for AAA. We developed a new strategy based on decellularized adipose matrix (DAM) hydrogel immobilized on the adventitia to release antagomiR-150-5p for preventing the AAA development.

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with piezoelectric effects are ideal materials for future wearable devices. While enhancing the piezoelectric performance by forming vertical heterojunctions, shortcomings such as contamination at the heterojunction interface and limited built-in electric field width have been noticed. In this work, a lateral heterojunction of monolayer WSe-MoSe with type-II band alignment was employed to amplify the electromechanical optoelectronic efficiency.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines how human land-use changes impact nitrogen (N) cycling in ecosystems, which is vital for food security, using data from 2430 global observations.
  • - Converting natural ecosystems to managed ones increases nitrogen losses through leaching and gas emissions, resulting in a "leaky" N cycle, while reversing this change can improve nitrogen retention by over 100%.
  • - Key factors affecting N retention after land-use changes include soil organic carbon, pH, and carbon to nitrogen ratios, with critical leaky N cycle regions identified in tropical areas, Western Europe, the U.S., and China.

Background: β-Amyloid (Aβ) fibrillation is critical for Aβ deposition and cytotoxicity during the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Consequently, anti-Aβ monoclonal antibody drugs targeting Aβ oligomers and aggregation are considered potential therapeutic strategies for AD treatment. Similar to the working mechanisms of anti-Aβ monoclonal antibody drugs, our study identified osmundacetone (OAC), a small-molecule compound isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Rhizoma Osmundae, as exerting anti-AD effects by targeting Aβ.

A molecular-imprinted polymer (MIP) gel with high effective recognition of amphenicol antibiotics was synthesized for the first time based on layered double hydroxide (LDH) as the support and initiator, and functionalized β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as the functional monomer. The synergistic effect of molecular imprinting recognition and β-CD host-guest affinity enabled MIP gel to exhibit excellent selectivity (imprinted factors: 3.9-9.

A novel bio-supramolecular solvent (bio-SUPRAS) based on rhamnolipids (RLs) was designed for efficient extraction of pyrethroid insecticides in water and food matrices. Benefiting from RLs as amphiphiles equipped with the attractive properties of bio-degradable, low toxicity and high stability, bio-SUPRAS was spontaneously generated through salt induced coagulation. The bio-SUPRAS was characterized by cryo-scanning electron microscope and main factors influencing the extraction performance were investigated in detail.

Background: The integrity of the lateral wall in femoral intertrochanteric fractures significantly impacts fracture stability and internal fixation. In this study, we compared the outcomes of treating intertrochanteric fractures with lateral wall involvement using the ortho-bridge system (OBS) combined with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) versus simple PFNA from a biomechanical perspective.

Methods: Finite-element models of femoral intertrochanteric fractures with lateral wall involvement were subjected to fixation with OBS combined with PFNA and simple PFNA.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists found a new way to build special chemical compounds called 3-alkylated quinoxalin-2(1)-ones using certain ingredients like alkyl carboxylic acids and alkyl iodides.
  • This method is practical, cost-effective, and works well with different types of these ingredients.
  • They discovered that a special catalyst called cobaloxime helps create tiny carbon fragments from the ingredients, making the process easier.

Aims: Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction plays a key role in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular disease. However, studying these disorders in ECs from patients is challenging; hence, the use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and their in vitro differentiation into ECs represents a very promising approach. Still, the generation of hiPSC-derived ECs (hECs) remains demanding as a cocktail of growth factors and an intermediate purification step are required for hEC enrichment.

In order to investigate the effects of ammonium sulfate, an industrial by-product, on soil nutrients and microbial community when applied in different proportions instead of using urea as nitrogen fertilizer, a pot corn experiment was conducted. A completely randomized block experimental design was used, with a total of five treatments:CK (no fertilization), US (100 % urea), US (80 % urea + 20 % ammonium sulfate), US(60 % urea + 40 % ammonium sulfate), and US (100 % ammonium sulfate). The basic physical and chemical properties of soil and the dry weight of maize plants were determined by conventional methods, and microbial sequencing was performed using the Illumina NovaSeq platform.

An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) was designed to sensitively detect hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg). In this ECL-RET system, luminol was employed as ECL donor, and gold nanoparticles functionalized zirconium organoskeleton (UiO-66-NH@Au) was prepared and served as ECL acceptor. The UiO-66-NH@Au possessed an ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption between 400 nm and 500 nm, and the absorption spectra overlapped with the ECL spectrum of luminol.

The semiconductor industry has long been driven by advances in a nanofabrication technology known as lithography, and the fabrication of nanostructures on chips relies on an important coating, the photoresist layer. Photoresists are typically spin-coated to form a film and have a photolysis solubility transition and etch resistance that allow for rapid fabrication of nanostructures. As a result, photoresists have attracted great interest in both fundamental research and industrial applications.

It remains a significant hurdle for discovering birefringent materials in the deep ultraviolet (DUV, λ < 200 nm). It is well-known that the OH anions are recognized for their capability to eliminate the dangling bonds from terminal oxygen atoms, promoting the ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge blueshift and regulating the crystal structure. Here, two new barium hydroxyborates, BaBO(OH)(HO) (BaBOH) and NaBaBO(OH)(HO) (NaBaBOH), were designed and synthesized while displaying different dimensions.
