The as-prepared samples were characterized by HRTEM, TEM, XRD, BET, TG-DTA, and UV-Vis spectra techniques. The photoeatalytic activities of the as-prepared samples were evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange and inactivation of Escherichia coli in suspension under the irradiation of the simulated sunlight. The effects of compositions, calcination temperatures, concentration ofphotocatalysts and light source on the photocatalytic activities were systematically studied. The results show that when the concentration of ZnO/ZnA1204 photocatalyst with the starting Zn to Al molar ratio of 1：1.5 calcined at 600 ℃ is 1.0 g/L, the maximum photocatalytic degradation rate of 98.5% can be obtained in 50 min under the irradiation of the simulated sunlight. Under the same conditions, an inactivation rate of 99.8% for E.coli is achieved in 60 min.展开更多

文摘Minks are highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2,and have transmitted SARS-CoV-2 to humans.Oral immunization is one of the most promising strategies to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission in minks.Here,we generated 3 recombinant rabies viruses(RABV),rERAG_(333E)/S6P,rERAG_(333E)/DS6P and rERAG_(333E)/BA2S6P,expressing the prefusion-stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike protein of wild-type(S6P),δ(DS6P)or BA.2(BA2S6P)strain based on an oral rabies vaccine candidate(rERAG_(333E)).Oral or inactivated immunization of the 3 RABVs monovalent or trivalent were safe,and induced robust RABV neutralizing antibody and cross-antibody responses against the three SARS-CoV-2 in mice and minks.The challenge tests showed that 2 doses of rERAG_(333E)-S6P as an oral or inactivated vaccine completely protected mice against mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 infection in the upper and lower respiratory tracts,and largely prevented viral replication and lung damage caused by wild-type SARS-CoV-2infection in minks.Notably,we also confirmed that 2 doses of rERAG_(333E)-S6P as an oral or inactivated vaccine can largely protect minks against wild-type SARS-CoV-2 transmission via respiratory droplets.Our findings suggest that rERAG_(333E)-based COVID-19 vaccines appear to be suitable oral candidates to protect minks from SARS-CoV-2infection and transmission,and may serve as inactivated vaccines for further investigation in humans.

文摘The cranial base synchondroses,comprised of opposite-facing bidirectional chondrocyte layers,drive anteroposterior cranial base growth.In humans,RUNX2 haploinsufficiency causes cleidocranial dysplasia associated with deficient midfacial growth.However,how RUNX2 regulates chondrocytes in the cranial base synchondroses remains unknown.To address this,we inactivated Runx2 in postnatal synchondrosis chondrocytes using a tamoxifen-inducible Fgfr3-creER(Fgfr3-Runx2cKO)mouse model.Fgfr3-Runx2cKO mice displayed skeletal dwarfism and reduced anteroposterior cranial base growth associated with premature synchondrosis ossification due to impaired chondrocyte proliferation,accelerated hypertrophy,apoptosis,and osteoclast-mediated cartilage resorption.Lineage tracing reveals that Runx2-deficient Fgfr3+cells failed to differentiate into osteoblasts.Notably,Runx2-deficient chondrocytes showed an elevated level of FGFR3 and its downstream signaling components,pERK1/2 and SOX9,suggesting that RUNX2 downregulates FGFR3 in the synchondrosis.This study unveils a new role of Runx2 in cranial base chondrocytes,identifying a possible RUNX2-FGFR3-MAPK-SOX9 signaling axis that may control cranial base growth.

文摘Dear Editor,Viruses of the genus Orthoebolavirus cause sporadic outbreaks of severe haemorrhagic fever,with case fatality rates ranging from 25%to 90%(Mahanty and Bray,2004).Six species of the virus(Orthoebolavirus zairense,sudanense,bundibugyoense,taiense,restonense,and bombaliense)have so far been identified(Biedenkopf et al.,2023).Among these,Orthoebolavirus zairense,commonly known as Ebola virus(EBOV),stands out as the most virulent.Given its high contagiousness and lethality,EBOV must be manipulated under biosafety level 4(BSL-4)conditions,as stipulated by the the People's Republic of China's list of human pathogenic microorganisms(National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China,2023).Prior to being removed from a BSL-4 laboratory,it is imperative that infectious EBOV undergoes complete inactivation.Here we systematically evaluate viral thermostability under BSL-4 containment conditions,demonstrating EBOV's marked thermotolerance.

文摘The natural curcumin-mediated photodynamic inactivation(PDI)was developed,and its inactivation potency against Fusarium graminearum in vitro and in vivo was systematically investigated by fluorescence probe assay,trypan blue staining,scanning electron microscope(SEM),confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM),etc.Results showed that under the irradiation of blue LED,the photosensitizer of curcumin was excited to generate massive reactive oxygen species(ROS)in the cells of F.graminearum,and the PDI completely inactivated their mycelia and spores under the treatment of 150μM curcumin and 10.8 J/cm^(2)irradiation.Further analysis found that the PDI ruptured the cellular microstructures,damaged the cell membrane by increasing its permeability and oxidizing the lipids,degraded the intracellular DNA and proteins inside the spores of F.graminearum.Meanwhile,the PDI also potently killed>99.99%spores of F.graminearum on maize under the treatment of 200μM curcumin and 10.8 J/cm^(2)irradiation.Moreover,the PDI suppressed the production of zearalenone(ZEN),and residual ZEN could not be detected after the storage of maize for 10 days.Therefore,this study systematically explored the inactivation efficiency of curcumin-mediated PDI against both the mycelia and spores of F.graminearum,which provides a valid and promising method to control the fungal hazards in grains.

文摘Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV)infection causes acute watery diarrhea in neonatal piglets,leading to substantial economic losses within the pig farming industry.This study demonstrates that clofazimine(CFZ)significantly inhibits PEDV replication in a dose-dependent manner in vitro,with negligible cytotoxicity.Findings from our time-of-addition assays indicate that CFZ effectively disrupts multiple stages of the viral infection cycle.Using a CoV-RdRp-Gluc reporter system,we evaluated the potency of CFZ against PEDV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdRp),and determined a low IC50 value of 0.1364μM.Molecular docking studies further confirmed that CFZ has high binding affinity at the active sites of the spike protein and RdRp protein in PEDV.Transcriptome analysis of Vero E6 cells,with and without CFZ treatment,revealed a significant change in transcriptional activity at 8 h postinfection(hpi).Moreover,the simultaneous application of CFZ and nucleoside analogs showed enhanced the anti-PEDV effect of CFZ in vitro.Our study underscores the potential of CFZ as a viable therapeutic agent against PEDV.
文摘Solar-driven Fenton-like reactions are promising strategies for degrading pharmaceutical wastewater to address environmental challenges and antibiotic pollution.However,its efficacy is limited by suboptimal light absorption efficiency,rapid charge recombination,and inadequate interfacial charge transfer.In this study,an inorganic/organic S-scheme photo-Fenton system of pseudobrookite/carbon nitride(FTOCN)was synthesized via a hydrothermally coupled calcination process for the effective purification of tetracycline antibiotics under visible-light irradiation.The optimized FTOCN-2 heterostructure exhibits a significantly enhanced TC degradation capacity of 90%within 60 min.The rate constant of FTOCN-2 is 1.6 and 5.2 times greater than those of FTO and CN,respectively.Furthermore,FTOCN exhibits high antibacterial efficacy,highlighting its potential application in the purification of natural water.Measurements via a range of analytical techniques,including Kelvin probe force microscopy,density functional theory calculations,in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy,corroborate the S-scheme mechanism.This study provides a novel perspective for the development of photo-Fenton systems with S-scheme heterojunctions for water purification.

文摘BACKGROUND Autoimmune encephalitis(AE)is a rare and recently described neuroinflammatory disease associated with specific autoantibodies.Anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1(anti-LGI1)encephalitis is a rare but treatable type of AE discovered in recent years.Alzheimer’s disease(AD)is a degenerative brain disease and the most common cause of dementia.AD may undergo a series of pathological physiological changes in brain tissue 20 years before the onset of typical symptoms.The stage of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)that occurs during this process,known as MCI due to AD,is the earliest stage with clinical symptoms.MCI is typically categorized into two subtypes:Amnestic MCI(aMCI)and non-aMCI.CASE SUMMARY This report describes a patient with rapid cognitive impairment,diagnosed with anti-LGI1 antibody-mediated AE and aMCI,and treated at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital in March 2023.The patient was hospitalized with acute memory decline for more than 3 months.Both the cerebrospinal fluid and serum were positive for anti-LGI1 antibodies,biomarkers of AD coexisting in the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid.Following combination treatment with immunoglobulin therapy and glucocorticoid,plus inhibition of acetylcholinesterase,the patient’s cognitive function significantly improved.Throughout the 3-month follow-up period,a sustained improvement in cognitive function was observed.The results of serum anti-LGI1 antibody were negative.CONCLUSION This case has raised awareness of the possible interaction between AE and early AD(including MCI due to AD),and alerted clinicians to the possibility of concurrent rare and common diseases in patients presenting with cognitive impairment.

文摘Membrane-initiated estrogen receptorα(mERα)signaling has been shown to affect bone mass in murine models.However,it remains unknown which cell types mediate the mERα-dependent effects on bone.In this study,we generated a novel mouse model with a conditional C451A mutation in Esr1,which enables selective knockout of the palmitoylation site essential for the membrane localization of ERα(C451A^(f/f)).First,we used Runx2-Cre mice to generate Runx2-C451A^(f/f)mice with conditional inactivation of mERαsignaling in Runx2-expressing osteoblast lineage cells.No significant changes were observed in body weight,weights of estrogen-responsive organs,or serum concentrations of estradiol between female Runx2-C451A^(f/f)and homozygous C451A^(f/f)littermate controls.High-resolution microcomputed tomography analysis showed a consistent decrease in cortical bone mass in the tibia,femur,and vertebra L5 of Runx2-C451A^(f/f)mice and three-point bending analysis of humerus revealed an impaired mechanical bone strength in Runx2-C451A^(f/f)female mice compared to controls.Additionally,primary osteoblast cultures from mice lacking mERαsignaling showed impaired differentiation compared to controls.

文摘H_(2)O_(2)is an environmentally friendly oxidizing agent with minimal secondary pollution;however,its application has always been constrained by factors such as storage and transportation.In this study,we propose an innovative method for storing and releasing H_(2)O_(2)using hydrogels.Commercial hydrogels(sodium polyacrylate)can undergo swelling and absorb H_(2)O_(2)in aqueous solutions,and the swollen hydrogel can continuously release H_(2)O_(2)under osmotic pressure.And the characteristics of osmotic pressure drive ensure the recyclability of hydrogel for H_(2)O_(2)storage.Experimental results demonstrate that H_(2)O_(2)can stably exist within the hydrogel for an extended period,and this strategy helps to avoid explosion the risk and potential environmental hazards during the transportation of H_(2)O_(2).Finally,experiments confirm that the hydrogel controlled sustained release of H_(2)O_(2)is effective in both Fenton reactions and the process of bacterial inactivation.This work introduces new ideas for the storage of H_(2)O_(2),and the sustained release of H_(2)O_(2)may have significant implications in the fields of healthcare,environmental science,catalysis,and beyond.

文摘The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors influencing the inactivation effect of intense pulsed light(IPL)on Aeromonas salmonicida grown on chicken meat and skin,and to further develop prediction models of inactivation.In this work,chicken meat and skin inoculated with meat-borne A.salmonicida isolates were subjected to IPL treatments under different conditions.The results showed that IPL had obvious bactericidal effect in the chicken skin and thickness groups when the treatment voltage and time were 7 V combined with 5 s.In addition,the lethality curves of A.salmonicida were fitted under IPL conditions of 3.5-7.5 V.The comparison of statistical parameters revealed that the Weibull model could best fit the mortality curves and could accurately predict the mortality dynamic of A.salmonicida grown on chicken skin.And further a secondary model between the scale factor b and the treatment voltage in Weibull model was established using linear equations,which determined that the secondary model could accurately predict the inactivation of A.salmonicida.This study provides a theoretical basis for future prediction models of Aeromonas,and also provides new ideas for sterilization approaches of meat-borne Aeromonas.

文摘Our previous study found that feeding with Lactobacillus plantarum Ep-M17 could effectively affect the growth performance,immune response,and gut microbiota of Penaeus vannamei.However,high temperature and pressure during feed pelletizing is the main problem that can lead to a decrease in the activity of probiotics or cause their inactivation.Further investigation needs to investigate whether inactivated Ep-M17 can exert similar effects as live Ep-M17.Therefore,we evaluated the effects of inactivated L.plantarum Ep-M17 on growth performance,immune response,disease resistance,and gut microbiota in P.vannamei.Results show that adding inactivated Ep-M17 to the feed also promoted body weight gain and increased relative immune protection in shrimp.Also,histological examination revealed that the administration of inactivated Ep-M17 led to improvements in the density and distribution of microvilli in the intestines and enhancements in the abundance of B and R cells in the hepatopancreas.Additionally,the inactivated Ep-M17 supplementation resulted in increased activity levels of nutrient immune-related enzymes in both the shrimp hepatopancreas and intestines.Moreover,it stimulated the expression of Lvlec,PEN-3a,Crustin,LGBP,Lysozyme,and proPo genes in both the hepatopancreas and intestines.Furthermore,the inactivated Ep-M17 also increased bacterial diversity in the gut of shrimp and promoted the abundance of specific flora,facilitating the host organism’s metabolism and immunity to improve the disease resistance of shrimp.Therefore,supplementation of inactivated L.plantarum Ep-M17 in shrimp diets can exert similar effects as live L.plantarum Ep-M17 effectively improving growth performance,gut microbiota,immune response,and disease resistance in P.vannamei.

文摘Lithium metal batteries provide high theoretical energy density and storage capacity but suffer from performance degradation and safety issues due to lithium dendrite formation.This research designed a resistivity gradient structure based on a 3D porous current collector to inhibit dendrite growth.Through a UV(ultraviolet)inactivation process,catalyst formation at the upper layers was suppressed,limiting the upper copper plating and enhancing plating toward the lower part during the electroless plating stage.Subsequently,electroplating was performed to increase the copper thickness.Experimental results showed that this gradient-resistivity current collector minimized the surface lithium deposition,which blocks pores.The charge-discharge stability evaluation demonstrated that batteries using this gradient structure exhibited higher stability and improved performance in full-cell and symmetrical-cell tests.This study presents significant technological progress toward commercializing lithium metal batteries.
文摘Objective:To discuss and analyze the causes of adverse reactions caused by the inactivated novel coronavirus vaccine(Vero cells),and to propose methods of prevention and care.Methods:A questionnaire was used to randomly select 229 adults who were vaccinated with the inactivated novel coronavirus vaccine(Vero cells)at Xi’an People’s Hospital(Xi’an Fourth Hospital).The adverse reactions were statistically analyzed.Results:Among the 229 adults vaccinated with the inactivated novel coronavirus vaccine(Vero cells),30 experienced vaccination reactions.The main reaction was local induration at the inoculation site,and dizziness was the primary systemic symptom.Conclusion:To reduce the incidence of adverse reactions to the inactivated novel coronavirus vaccine(Vero cells),it is necessary to effectively evaluate the health status of adults before vaccination,select the correct vaccination site,and strictly implement the rules of 3-inspections,7-checks,and 1-verification.Standardizing the operation process and providing thorough health education after vaccination can effectively reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.
文摘Objective:Analyze the relationship between inoculating one case of the COVID-19 inactivated vaccine(Vero cell)and immune thrombocytopenic purpura to provide a reference for the standardized handling of adverse events following immunization.Methods:According to the"National Monitoring Program for Suspected Adverse Reactions to Vaccinations,"an on-site investigation,data collection and analysis,expert group diagnosis,and medical association assessment were conducted on a case of immune thrombocytopenic purpura in District A of Chongqing after vaccination with the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine.The assessment report was delivered to the three relevant parties,the case was reviewed,and the experience was summarized.Results:The investigation and diagnosis by the district-level vaccination abnormal reaction expert group concluded that the disease that occurred after vaccination with the COVID-19 inactivated vaccine was secondary immune thrombocytopenic purpura,an abnormal reaction to the vaccination.The medical damage was classified as Level II Grade B.The vaccine production enterprise raised objections to this conclusion.After re-assessment by the municipal-level medical association,the conclusion was consistent with that of the district-level medical association.The vaccine production enterprise did not raise any further objections.Conclusion:Through active collaboration among district and municipal-level medical associations,disease control institutions,and vaccination units,the recipients have been promptly and effectively treated,providing financial support for their subsequent treatment and safeguarding their rights.The investigation and disposal procedures for adverse events following immunization in Chongqing are clear,and the mechanism is sound.It is necessary to continue strengthening the monitoring of adverse events following immunization according to the existing plan and to ensure timely and standardized handling.Simultaneously,it is crucial to strengthen vaccine management and vaccination management.

文摘ZnO/Znml2O4 nanocomposites with heteronanostructures were successfully prepared by co-precipitation method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by HRTEM, TEM, XRD, BET, TG-DTA, and UV-Vis spectra techniques. The photoeatalytic activities of the as-prepared samples were evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange and inactivation of Escherichia coli in suspension under the irradiation of the simulated sunlight. The effects of compositions, calcination temperatures, concentration ofphotocatalysts and light source on the photocatalytic activities were systematically studied. The results show that when the concentration of ZnO/ZnA1204 photocatalyst with the starting Zn to Al molar ratio of 1：1.5 calcined at 600 ℃ is 1.0 g/L, the maximum photocatalytic degradation rate of 98.5% can be obtained in 50 min under the irradiation of the simulated sunlight. Under the same conditions, an inactivation rate of 99.8% for E.coli is achieved in 60 min.
