Based on weather data and data obtained by Particle Sizer GRIMM180 set up in Qingdao, aerosol was qualitively classified into sea-fog aerosol, refreshing aerosol and suspended dust aerosol. Analysis of mass concentration and number concentration of three different kinds of aerosols was conducted, and the results are shown as below: 1) total mass concentration of different kinds of aerosol is obviously different; 2) sea-fog aerosol primarily includes particles of which size ranging from 1 microm to 2.5 microm, and refreshing aerosol, includes particles of which size less than 1 microm, and suspended dust aerosol, includes particles of which size ranging from 2.5 microm to 10 microm. 3) precipitation has important role on decreasing larger particle concentration and increasing tiny particle concentration. 4) those tiny particles of which size is less than 1 microm, especially less than 0.6 microm, show an activation phenomenon when they located before the surface weather systems, where air humidity is considerable high. 5) trend of number concentration variability of different particles has different characteristic modes when aerosol property has been changed.

Crystal Violet (CV) is a vibrant and harmful dye known for its toxicity to aquatic life and potential carcinogenic effects on humans. This study explores the removal of CV through photocatalysis driven by visible light, as well as examining the antibacterial and antibiofilm characteristics of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesized from the aerial roots of Ficus benghalensis. Various characterization techniques were employed to confirm the optical properties, crystal lattices, and morphology of ZnO NPs.

Commercial HVAC systems intended to mitigate indoor air pollution are operated based on standards that exclude aerosols with smaller diameters, such as ultrafine particles (UFPs, D ≤ 100 nm), which dominate a large proportion of indoor and outdoor number-based particle size distributions. UFPs generated from occupant activities or infiltrating from the outdoors can be recirculated and accumulate indoors when they are not successfully filtered by an air handling unit. Monitoring UFPs in real occupied environments is vital to understanding these source and mitigation dynamics, but capturing their rapid transience across multiple locations can be challenging due to high-cost instrumentation.

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) offers a promising avenue for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, optimizing immune responses remains a formidable challenge. This study presents the design of RBCm@Pt-CoNi layered double hydroxide (RmPLH), an innovative sonosensitizer for sonodynamic therapy (SDT), aimed at enhancing the efficacy of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors by inducing robust ICD responses.

Purpose: Mastoparan-M (Mast-M) has cytotoxic effects on various tumor cells in vitro, including liver cancer and colorectal cancer. However, the anti-tumor mechanism of Mast-M remains unclear and its potential for anti-tumor therapy has not been investigated. Herein, we aimed to develop a novel phytosome formulation loaded with Mast-M and evaluate its efficacy against breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo.

Poor aqueous solubility and bioavailability limit the translation of new drug candidates into clinical applications. Nanocrystal formulations offer a promising approach for improving the dissolution rate and saturation solubility. These formulations are applicable for various routes of administration, with each presenting unique opportunities and challenges posed by the physiological barriers.
