Based on our experimental study of spectral characteristics of an improved compact CO laser system, the prospects of using such a laser system for solving urgent problems of atmospheric sounding were demonstrated. An increase in the number of laser lines due to intracavity generation of the second harmonic and sum-frequencies in a nonlinear zinc germanium phosphide (ZnGeP) crystal enriches capabilities of the laser. It was shown that such a CO laser system with frequency conversion in ZnGeP crystal can be used for detection and measuring concentration of at least 14 minor natural and pollution gases components of the atmosphere. The advantages and disadvantages of various laser operation modes, and the prospects for using its radiation for atmospheric remote sensing in various spectral ranges are discussed.

The development of mechanically robust super-lubrication hydrogel materials with sustained lubricity at high contact pressures is challenging. In this work, inspired by the durable lubricity feature of the earthworm epidermis, a multilevel structural super-lubrication hydrogel (MS-SLH) system, the so-called lubricant self-pumping hydrogel, is developed. The MS-SLH system is manufactured by chemically dissociating a double network hydrogel to generate robust and wrinkled lubrication layer, and then laser etching was used to generate cylindrical texture pores as gland-like pockets for storing lubricants.

Serine-modified silver nanoparticle porous spray membrane: A novel approach to wound infection prevention and inflammation reduction.

Int J Pharm

College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zhejiang University, 866 Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou, Zhejiang 310058, PR China. Electronic address:

Traditional wound care preparations frequently face challenges such as complex care protocols, poor patient compliance, limited skin permeability, lack of aesthetics, and inconvenience, in addition to the risk of bacterial infection. We developed a spray film preparation containing nanocellulose and L-serine modified nanosilver, capable of rapidly forming a transparent film on the skin within minutes of application. The incorporation of nanocellulose imparted protective, moisturizing, and breathable properties to the film, allowing for easy removal after use.

Electronic address:

In this study, we developed calcium alginate-coated nanovesicles derived from macrophage membranes loaded with berberine (Ber@MVs-CA) for the oral treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Ber@MVs-CA demonstrates resistance to gastric acid and controlled drug release in the colonic pH environment, while actively targeting sites of ulcerative colitis injury. pH-responsive release of Ber in Ber@MVs-CA was confirmed through in vitro release experiments.

Increasing evidence points toward an essential role for complement activation in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the precise molecular mechanisms remain unclear, and the pathway predominantly contributing to complement activation in DKD is of particular interest. In this study, the glomerular proteome, especially the profiles of the complement proteins, was analyzed in kidney biopsies from 40 DKD patients and 10 normal controls using laser microdissection-assisted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LMD-LC-MS/MS).
