Graphene oxide (GO) will enter the soil environment in increasing amounts. The effects of GO on the dissipation of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) from contaminated soil and their phytoremediation system have been explored in this study. B[a]P is a ubiquitous soil pollutant used as a representative indicator of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. A pot experiment was performed to investigate the effects of GO or/and vegetation (Tagetes patula) on B[a]P dissipation and the associated bacterial communities in soil. The bacterial communities in soil were investigated by Illumina sequencing analysis. The presence of vegetation significantly enhanced the dissipation of B[a]P from soil. The addition of GO (100 mg/kg) significantly decreased the B[a]P dissipation. When vegetation and GO coexisted, the inhibition effects of GO on B[a]P dissipation were alleviated by vegetation. Compared with the control treatment, the presence of GO or vegetation had no significant effects on the richness and diversity of bacterial communities in B[a]P-contaminated soil. Compared with the presence of only vegetation, the richness and diversity all significantly decreased when vegetation and GO coexisted. And, vegetation had a greater influence on the bacterial community composition than GO. Vegetation alleviated the inhibition effects of GO on B[a]P dissipation and had a greater influence on the associated bacterial communities than GO. This work helps to understand the interactive effects of GO and vegetation on B[a]P dissipation and the associated bacterial communities in contaminated soil.

Photothermal therapy has been extensively studied to improve the light-to-heat efficiency for tumor ablation, but could cause severe damage to adjacent healthy tissue due to the thermal transfer, the random distribution of photothermal agents (PTAs), or combination hereof. Herein, we solve this dilemma with a material design strategy to develop a P(AAm-co-AN)-b-P(NIPAM-co-DMAa)-b-P(AAm-co-AN) ABA triblock copolymer by RAFT polymerization, which exhibits both UCST and LCST dual thermo-responsive behaviors in aqueous solution. The P(AAm-co-AN) block with appropriate AN content allows to finely tune its UCST to ∼ 43°C, which can effectively co-assemble with camptothecin (CPT) and Cy7-TCF, a near-infrared (NIR) PTA, realizing the photo-activated "on-demand" release of CPT and Cy7-TCF.

Efficient penetration and retention of therapeutic agents in tumor tissues can be realized through rational design of drug delivery systems. Herein, a polymer-dendron conjugate, POEGMA-b-p(GFLG-Dendron-Ppa) (GFLG-DP), is presented, which allows a cathepsin-B-triggered stealthy-to-sticky structural transformation. The compositions and ratios are optimized through dissipative particle dynamics simulations.
