Phthalate esters (PAEs) are broadly utilized as plasticizers in industrial products, posing a significant threat to ecological security and human health. Lipase is a kind of green biocatalyst with the ability to degrade PAEs, but its application is limited due to its low stability and poor reusability. Herein, lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL) was immobilized into an organic ligand replacement MOFs (MAF-507) and cysteine modification and glutaraldehyde cross-linking were simultaneously performed to synthesize immobilized lipase (Cys-CRL@GA@MAF-507) using a one-pot method. Compared with free CRL, Cys-CRL@GA@MAF-507 not only increased its relative activity to 1.66-fold as well as improved its thermostability to 247% at 30 °C, but also constructed a synergistic system of combined adsorption and biodegradation to remove PAEs. In actual water environment, Cys-CRL@GA@MAF-507 could adsorb 88.56% of DBP within 5 min and degrade 94.6% of DBP within 48 h, respectively. Therefore, this research developed an innovative bifunctional enzyme@MOFs biocomposite with synergistic adsorption and biodegradation for the efficient removal of PAEs, which provides a new platform for the elimination of pollutants in environmental remediation and industrial application.

Micro-nano aeration (MNA) has great potential for emerging contaminant removal. However, the mechanism of antibiotic removal and antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) spread, and the impact of the different aeration conditions remain unclear. This study investigated the adsorption and biodegradation of ofloxacin (OFL) and the spread of ARGs in aerobic biofilm systems under MNA and conventional aeration (CVA) conditions.

Tumor heterogeneity, immune-suppressive microenvironment and the precise killing of tumor cells by drugs are important factors affecting tumor treatment. In this study, we developed environment-responsive drug delivery system (FM@IQ/PST&ZIF-8/DOX) based on ZIF-8 for tumor photothermal/immunotherapy/chemotherapy synergistic therapy. The prepared FM@IQ/PST&ZIF-8/DOX nanoplatfrom not only has highly drug loading capacity for chemotherapeutic drug-doxorubicin, but also erythrocyte membrance modified on their surface can endow their immunity-escaping property and prolong their blood circulation time.

Cisplatin-based platinum compounds are important clinical chemotherapeutic agents that participate in most tumor chemotherapy regimens. Through density-functional theory calculations, the formation and stability of the inorganic oxide carrier, the mechanisms of the hydrolysis reaction of the activated platinum compound, and its binding mechanism with DNA bases can be studied. The higher the oxidation state of Pt (II to IV), the more electrons transfer from the magnesia-gold composite material to the platinum compound.
