However, the effects of high temperatures on solar absorption are rarely considered in practical research. Therefore, this study presents a porous zinc and silver sulfide solar absorber with high-temperature radiative cooling capabilities. The solar absorption rate and radiative cooling efficiency in the high-temperature range(636 K–1060 K) are computed using the finite-difference time-domain method. Furthermore, the impact of parameters such as characteristic length, porosity, incident angle, and pore shape factor on both the absorption rate and efficiency of the solar absorber is analyzed. The mechanism is further examined from the perspective of microscopic thermal radiation. The results show that, in the high-temperature range, the solar absorption rate increases with higher porosity and incident angles, reaching its peak when the characteristic length is 1 μm. These findings highlight the significant potential of the solar absorber for efficient solar energy harvesting in photo-thermal conversion applications within a specific high-temperature range.展开更多

文摘Arsenic(As)pollution in soils is a pervasive environmental issue.Biochar immobilization offers a promising solution for addressing soil As contamination.The efficiency of biochar in immobilizing As in soils primarily hinges on the characteristics of both the soil and the biochar.However,the influence of a specific property on As immobilization varies among different studies,and the development and application of arsenic passivation materials based on biochar often rely on empirical knowledge.To enhance immobilization efficiency and reduce labor and time costs,a machine learning(ML)model was employed to predict As immobilization efficiency before biochar application.In this study,we collected a dataset comprising 182 data points on As immobilization efficiency from 17 publications to construct three ML models.The results demonstrated that the random forest(RF)model outperformed gradient boost regression tree and support vector regression models in predictive performance.Relative importance analysis and partial dependence plots based on the RF model were conducted to identify the most crucial factors influencing As immobilization.These findings highlighted the significant roles of biochar application time and biochar pH in As immobilization efficiency in soils.Furthermore,the study revealed that Fe-modified biochar exhibited a substantial improvement in As immobilization.These insights can facilitate targeted biochar property design and optimization of biochar application conditions to enhance As immobilization efficiency.

文摘Electrocatalytic CO_(2)reduction(ECR)to produce value-added fuels and chemicals using renewable electricity is an emerging strategy to mitigate global warming and decrease reliance on fossil fuels.Among various ECR products,liquid oxygenates(Oxys)are especially attractive due to their high energy density,high safety and transportability that could be adapted to the existing infrastructure and transportation system.However,efficiently generating these highly reduced oxygen-containing products by ECR remains challenging due to the complexity of coupled proton and electron transfer processes.In recent years,in-depth studies of reaction mechanisms have advanced the design of catalysts and the regulation of reaction systems for ECR to produce Oxys,Here,by focusing on the production of typical Oxys,such as methanol,acetic acid,ethanol,acetone,n-propanol,and isopropanol,we outline various reaction paths and key intermediates for the electrochemical conversion of CO_(2)into these target products.We also summarize the current research status and recent advances in catalysts based on their elemental composition,and consider recent studies on the change of catalyst geometry and electronic structure,as well as the optimization of reaction systems to increase ECR performance.Finally,we analyze the challenges in the field of ECR to Oxys and provide an outlook on future directions for high-efficiency catalyst prediction and design,as well as the development of advanced reaction systems.

文摘Iron oxide nanoparticles(IONPs)have wide applications in the biomedical field due to their outstanding physical and chemical properties.However,the potential adverse effects and relatedmechanisms of IONPs in human organs,especially the lung,are still largely ignored.In this study,we found that group-modified IONPs(carboxylated,aminated and silica coated)induce slight lung cell damage(in terms of the cell cycle,reactive oxygen species(ROS)production,cell membrane integrity and DNA damage)at a sublethal dosage.However,aminated IONPs could release more iron ions in the lysosome than the other two types of IONPs,but the abnormally elevated iron ion concentration did not induce ferroptosis.In-triguingly,amino-modified IONPs aggravated the accumulation of intracellular peroxides induced by the ferroptosis activator RSL3 and thus caused ferroptosis in vitro,and the coadministration of amino-modified IONPs and RSL3 induced more severe lung injury in vivo.Therefore,our data revealed that the surface functionalization of IONPs plays an important role in determining their potential pulmonary toxicity,as surface modification influences their degradation behavior.These results provide guidance for the design of future IONPs and the corresponding safety evaluations and predictions.

文摘Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis(HPAG)is a common condition of the gastrointestinal tract.However,extensive and long-term antibiotic use has resulted in numerous adverse effects,including increased resistance,gastrointestinal dysfunction,and increased recurrence rates.When these concerns develop,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)may have advantages.TCM is based on the concept of completeness and aims to eliminate pathogens and strengthen the body.It has the potential to prevent this condition while also boosting the rate of Helicobacter pylori eradication.This review elaborates on the mechanism of TCM treatment for HPAG based on cellular signalling pathways,which reflects the flexibility of TCM in treating diseases and the advantages of multi-level,multipathway,and multi-target treatments for HPAG.
文摘Kang et al.published a research article on the treatment of ischemic stroke using engineered Treg cells(Kang et al.,Prog Biochem Biophys,2025,52(4):946-956.DOI:10.16476/j.pibb.2025.0019).Their study mainly explores the immunoregulatory role of regulatory T(Treg)cells in ischemic stroke,providing an innovative therapeutic strategy.Neuroinflammation is a major driver of secondary injury after stroke.Existing treatments focus on vascular recanalization while neglecting immune regulation.Their study proposes to modulate neuroinflammation through in vitro-induced Treg cells,offering a novel approach distinct from traditional thrombolysis and endovascular interventions.

文摘Lowering the synthesis temperature of boron nitride nanotubes(BNNTs)is crucial for their development.The primary reason for adopting a high temperature is to enable the effective activation of highmelting-point solid boron.In this study,we developed a novel approach for efficiently activating boron by introducing alkali metal compounds into the conventional MgO–B system.This approach can be adopted to form various low-melting-point AM–Mg–B–O growth systems.These growth systems have improved catalytic capability and reactivity even under low-temperature conditions,facilitating the synthesis of BNNTs at temperatures as low as 850℃.In addition,molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory theoretically demonstrate that the systems maintain a liquid state at low temperatures and interact with N atoms to form BN chains.These findings offer novel insights into the design of boron activation and are expected to facilitate research on the low-temperature synthesis of BNNTs.

文摘Hypersplenism is a common complication of cirrhosis that is associated with significant impairment to patients'life quality.Splenectomy is often employed in clinical settings as a treatment for hypersplenism.While splenectomy is carried out for the purposes of alleviating hypersplenism-related adverse outcomes like thrombocytopenia or anaemia,studies have suggested alterations in the immune status,hemodynamics,and intestinal microbiota of patients following splenectomy,which may potentially influence the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Additionally,patients have been found to face new health risks post-splenectomy,including infections and thrombosis,which could adversely impact their overall health and potentially increase the risk of HCC.Despite these findings,there is currently no consensus on whether splenectomy affects the risk of postoperative HCC in cirrhotic patients.This review synthesizes the pertinent literature on the incidence of HCC following splenectomy,with an emphasis on current evidence related to its physiology,pathophysiology,and epidemiology.Concepts such as immune status,hemodynamics changes,and intestinal microbiota in post-splenectomy patients are explored,in hopes that it can inform more individualized treatment approaches for patients.
文摘Ultrafine,highly dispersed Pt clusters were immobilized onto the Co nanoparticle surfaces by one-step pyrolysis of the precursor Pt(Ⅱ)-encapsulating Co-MOF-74.Owing to the small size effects of Pt clusters as well as the strongly enhanced synergistic interactions between Pt and Co atoms,the obtained Pt-on-Co/C400 catalysts exhib-ited excellent catalytic activity toward the hydrolysis of ammonia borane with an extremely high turnover frequency(TOF)value of 3022 min^(-1)at 303 K.Durability test indicated that the obtained Pt-on-Co/C400 catalysts possessed high catalytic stability,and there were no changes in the catalyst structures and catalytic activities after 10 cycles.

文摘A primary hallmark of pathological cardiac hypertrophy is excess protein synthesis due to enhanced translational activity.However,regulatory mechanisms at the translational level under cardiac stress remain poorly understood.Here we examined the translational regulations in a mouse cardiac hypertrophy model induced by transaortic constriction(TAC)and explored the conservative networks versus the translatome pattern in human dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).The results showed that the heart weight to body weight ratio was significantly elevated,and the ejection fraction and fractional shortening significantly decreased 8 weeks after TAC.Puromycin incorporation assay showed that TAC significantly increased protein synthesis rate in the left ventricle.RNAseq revealed 1,632 differentially expressed genes showing functional enrichment in pathways including extracellular matrix remodeling,metabolic processes,and signaling cascades associated with pathological cardiomyocyte growth.When combined with ribosome profiling analysis,we revealed that translation efficiency(TE)of 1,495 genes was enhanced,while the TE of 933 genes was inhibited following TAC.In DCM patients,1,354 genes were upregulated versus 1,213 genes were downregulated at the translation level.Although the majority of the genes were not shared between mouse and human,we identified 93 genes,including Nos3,Kcnj8,Adcy4,Itpr1,Fasn,Scd1,etc.,with highly conserved translational regulations.These genes were remarkably associated with myocardial function,signal transduction,and energy metabolism,particularly related to cGMP-PKG signaling and fatty acid metabolism.Motif analysis revealed enriched regulatory elements in the 5′untranslated regions(5′UTRs)of transcripts with differential TE,which exhibited strong cross-species sequence conservation.Our study revealed novel regulatory mechanisms at the translational level in cardiac hypertrophy and identified conserved translation-sensitive targets with potential applications to treat cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure in the clinic.

文摘In order to meet the growing global energy demand and fulfill energy conservation and emission reduction goals, the efficient utilization of solar energy is becoming increasingly critical. However, the effects of high temperatures on solar absorption are rarely considered in practical research. Therefore, this study presents a porous zinc and silver sulfide solar absorber with high-temperature radiative cooling capabilities. The solar absorption rate and radiative cooling efficiency in the high-temperature range(636 K–1060 K) are computed using the finite-difference time-domain method. Furthermore, the impact of parameters such as characteristic length, porosity, incident angle, and pore shape factor on both the absorption rate and efficiency of the solar absorber is analyzed. The mechanism is further examined from the perspective of microscopic thermal radiation. The results show that, in the high-temperature range, the solar absorption rate increases with higher porosity and incident angles, reaching its peak when the characteristic length is 1 μm. These findings highlight the significant potential of the solar absorber for efficient solar energy harvesting in photo-thermal conversion applications within a specific high-temperature range.
