Ultrahigh antipsychotics selective accumulation and efficient photocatalytic degradation using a novel 2D BiOIO-based molecularly imprinted photocatalyst.

Adsorption-assisted photocatalytic degradation of pollutants is an effective method to improve degradation efficiency. However, most adsorptive photocatalysts are not selective and cannot efficiently remove low-concentration targets in complex systems, which limit their practical application. Therefore, a novel molecularly imprinted photocatalyst (MI-BiOIO) with high selectivity and adsorption capacity was prepared using two-dimensional BiOIO nanosheet as the matrix.

Toxicity of microplastics polystyrene to freshwater planarians and the alleviative effects of anthocyanins.

It is impossible to overlook the effects of microplastics (MPs) on aquatic organisms as they continuously accumulate in water environment. Freshwater planarians, which exist in the benthic zone of water bodies and come into contact with the deposited MPs particles, provide a highly representative model for studying the effects of MPs on aquatic organisms. Anthocyanins (ANTs) have gained significant popularity in recent years for their diverse health benefits.

Quality control of mitochondrial nucleoids.

Mitochondrial nucleoids, organized complexes that house and protect mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are normally confined within the mitochondrial double-membrane system. Under cellular stress conditions, particularly oxidative and inflammatory stress, these nucleoids can undergo structural alterations that lead to their aberrant release into the cytoplasm. This mislocalization of nucleoid components, especially mtDNA, can trigger inflammatory responses and cell death pathways, highlighting the critical importance of nucleoid quality control mechanisms.

Electrochemical oscillation during copper recovery from waste printed circuit boards by slurry electrolysis: Generation mechanism and process characteristics.

Slurry electrolysis can be used to recover copper from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs), but electrochemical oscillations during recovery increase the power consumption. Therefore, copper(II) chloride was selected as a simulated electrolyte to study electrochemical oscillations during the recovery of copper from WPCBs by slurry electrolysis. The results showed that a cuprous chloride passivation film formed on the cathode and induced decaying, bottom-up electrochemical oscillations whose amplitude and frequency were affected by several factors.

Cross-sectional-dependent microbial assembly and network stability: Bacteria sensitivity response was higher than eukaryotes and fungi in the Danjiangkou Reservoir.

Water depth variation can lead to the vertical structure change of microbial communities in reservoirs, and then affect the relationship between the microbial communities along the depth gradient, profoundly affecting the stability of the aquatic ecosystems. However, the interspecific dynamics of microbial communities across different water layers in deep-water low-nutrient drinking water reservoirs remain not well understood. Thus, we assessed microbial communities' dynamic changes in different water layers in this study.

Development and evaluation of a multivariable prediction model for overall survival in advanced stage pulmonary carcinoid using machine learning.

Background: Evidence is limited on whether patients with advanced pulmonary carcinoid (APC) benefit from comprehensive pulmonary resection (CPR), chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Existing prognostic models for APC are limited and do not guide treatment selection. This study aims to develop and evaluate a multivariable machine learning model to predict overall survival in APC patients and provide a web-based prognostic tool.

An antioxidant, antibacterial, and immunoregulatory konjac glucomannan-based nanocomposite hydrogel for promoting skin wound healing.

Managing open skin wounds remains a notable challenge in clinical practice, with wound dressings gradually becoming an essential strategy for such treatment. To effectively regulate the wound healing microenvironment, we developed an antibiotic-free nanocomposite hydrogel by combining guanosine-based supramolecular G-quadruplexes (G4), angiogenic deferoxamine (DFO), konjac glucomannan (KGM), and zinc ions through a one-pot mixing strategy. The borate esters in G4 endow the hydrogel with a strong radical-scavenging ability.

However, its low antibacterial activity limits its biocontrol application. In this study, a significant enhancement in antibacterial activity against S.

The predictive role of composite inflammatory ratio parameters in the conscious awareness recovery after severe acute ischemic stroke: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Inflammatory mechanisms play a significant role in ischemic stroke. Peripheral neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), which are indicators capable of reflecting the magnitude of the inflammatory response, have been research hotspots. However, few research findings evaluate the prediction significance of these biomarkers in the recovery of conscious awareness following severe acute ischemic stroke.

High-elevation birds grow more slowly but to heavier weights than low-elevation birds.

Documenting how growth strategies diverge among populations or species occupying different geographical locations can contribute to understanding life-history evolution. However, the existing literature on the geography of growth focuses on latitudinal gradients, leaving the growth-elevation relationship enigmatic. The knowledge gap limits our ability to capture a full picture of growth evolution at macroecological scales because organisms typically experience different selective pressures across these two geographical gradients.

Nacre-like structural carboxymethyl cellulose dual-layered film with a combination of high strength, elongation, and UV-blocking for food packaging.

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) holds great potential for food preservation applications, provided its mechanical properties and UV-blocking performance are significantly enhanced. Considering this, the study focuses on developing a novel dual-layered film using the layer-by-layer casting method. The resulting film exhibits a compact dual-layered structure, with a nacre-like upper layer (chitosan/montmorillonite/tea polyphenols) and a dense bottom layer (CMC/sodium alginate/nano-hydroxyapatite/tea polyphenols).

Toxicity enhancement of microplastics released from food containers through thermal aging: Absorbing more serum proteins thus activating the innate immune response via actin polymerization.

This study examined the effects of hot high-fat simulants on the physicochemical properties of microplastics (MPs) from polypropylene (PP)-, low-density polyethylene (LDPE)-, and polylactic acid (PLA)-based single-use food container (SUFC) leachates and those of aging on their immunomodulatory effectors. Scenario studies have demonstrated that MPs were released from these three types of SUFCs. LDPE- and PLA-based SUFCs also released cellulose.

Molecular insights into TT2-type MYB regulators illuminate the complexity of floral flavonoids biosynthesis in .

Proanthocyanidins (PAs), anthocyanins, and flavonols are key flavonoids that play diverse roles in plant physiology and human health. Despite originating from a shared biosynthetic pathway, the regulatory mechanisms of PA biosynthesis and the cooperative regulation of different kinds of flavonoids remain elusive, particularly in flower tissues or organs. Here, we elucidated the regulatory network governing PA biosynthesis in 'Red River®' by characterizing four TT2-type MYB transcription factors, designated FhMYBPAs.
