A simple and rapid method was developed for evaluating 16 phthalic acid esters (PAEs) at the μg/kg level in a complex milk matrix using directly suspended droplet microextraction-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (DSDME-GC-MS). The different parameters for extraction and for the DSDME experiment were optimized, including You are free to submit the revised manuscript at a later date as a new submission. 10 g/L trichloroacetic acid concentration, 100 μL cyclohexane micro-droplet organic solvent, 1100 rpm stirring speed, 10 min extraction time and no salt amount. Validation experiments showed good linearity (γ>0.9878, 0.002-0.4 μg/mL), satisfactory precision (RSD<11%), and good accuracy (relative recovery of 70.2-108%) when analyzing milk samples using the optimized method. The limits of detection (LODs) ranged between 0.001 and 0.2 μg/L, and the limits of quantification (LOQs) ranged between 0.003 and 0.7 μg/L for 15 PAEs. Dinonyl phthalate (DINP) had a low response and did not have good linearity. The proposed method was successfully applied for the analysis of PAEs in real milk samples.

Tumor hypoxia is a critical driver of cancer progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance, posing significant challenges in effective cancer treatment. Hypoxia-activable prodrugs offer a promising strategy to target tumors in low-oxygen conditions, but their efficacy is often hindered by intrinsic properties and extrinsic cues. In this study, we developed a dual-prodrug nanoassembly system (CPPA) composed of a hypoxia-triggerable camptothecin (CPT)-based dimeric prodrug (CP) and a lipid-conjugated STAT3 antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) prodrug (PA), aiming to enhance tumor-targeted chemotherapy and overcome the immune evasion within the tumor microenvironment.

Recent studies have revealed that many mosquito species regularly engage in high-altitude windborne migration, but its epidemiological significance was debated. The hypothesis that high-altitude mosquitoes spread pathogens over large distances has not been directly tested. Here, we report for the first time that high-altitude windborne mosquitoes are commonly infected with arboviruses, protozoans, and helminths affecting vertebrates and humans, and provide the first description of this pathogen-vector aerial network.

Intranasal drug administration offers a promising strategy for delivering combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) directly to the central nervous system to treat NeuroAIDS, leveraging the nose-to-brain route to bypass the blood-brain barrier. However, challenges such as enzymatic degradation in the nasal mucosa, low permeability, and mucociliary clearance within the nasal cavity must first be addressed to make this route feasible. To overcome these barriers, this study developed solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) with varying PEGylation levels (0 %, 5 %, 10 %, and 15 % w/w of PEGylated lipid), co-encapsulated with Elvitegravir (EVG) and Atazanavir (ATZ) as an integrase and protease inhibitor, respectively.

Despite significant advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) continues to present a global health challenge, with a modest five-year survival rate of 28 %, largely due to the emergence of treatment-resistant and metastatic tumors. In response, we synthesized a novel bioactive compound, ethyl 6-chlorocoumarin-3-carboxylyl L-theanine (TClC), which significantly inhibited NSCLC growth, epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and invasion and tumor growth and metastasis without inducing toxicity. TClC disrupts autocrine loops that promote tumor progression, particularly in stem-like CD133-positive NSCLC (CD133+ LC) cells, which are pivotal in tumor metastasis.

This study investigates the prevalence and impacts of suspended atmospheric microplastics (SAMPs) in the coastal metropolitan city of Ningbo in the Yangtze River Delta Region, China. The sampling was conducted at both urban centre and urban-rural fringe areas, near the coast but distant from large urban populations. SAMP abundance ranged from 0.
