Rheological and Structural Characterization of Carrageenans during Depolymerization Conducted by a Marine Bacterium Shewanella sp. LE8.

Carrageenans were widely utilized as thickening and gelling agents in the food and cosmetic industries, and their oligosaccharides have been proven to possess enhanced physicochemical and biological properties. In this study, Shewanella sp. LE8 was utilized for the depolymerization of κ-, ι-, and λ-carrageenan under conditions of fermentation. During a 24-h fermentation at 28 °C, the apparent viscosity of κ-, ι-, and λ-carrageenan decreased by 53.12%, 84.10%, and 59.33%, respectively, accompanied by a decrease in storage modulus, and loss modulus. After a 72-h fermentation, the analysis of methylene blue and molecular weight distribution revealed that ι-carrageenan was extensively depolymerized into smaller polysaccharides by Shewanella sp. LE8, while exhibiting partial degradation on κ- and λ-carrageenan. However, the impact of Shewanella sp. LE8 on total sugars was found to be limited; nevertheless, a significant increase in reduced sugar content was observed. The ESIMS analysis results revealed that the purified components obtained through ι-carrageenan fermentation for 72 h were identified as tetrasaccharides, while the two purified components derived from λ-carrageenan fermentation consisted of a hexasaccharide and a tetrasaccharide, respectively. Overall, the present study first reported the depolymerization of ι-and λ-carrageenan by Shewanella and suggested that the Shewanella could be used to depolymerize multiple carrageenans, as well as complex polysaccharides derived from red algae, to further obtain their oligosaccharides.

Integrated Thermal Conductive and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Performance in Polyimide Composite: Impact of Carbon Felt-Graphene Van der Waals Heterostructure.

With the widespread application of highly integrated electronic devices, the urgent development of multifunctional polymer-based composite materials with high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) and thermal conductivity capabilities is critically essential. Herein, a graphene/carbon felt/polyimide (GCF/PI) composite is prepared through constructing 3D van der Waals heterostructure by heating carbon felt and graphene at high temperature. The GCF-3/PI composite exhibits the highest through-plane thermal conductivity with 1.31 W·m-1·K-1, when the content of carbon felt and graphene is 14.1 and 1.4 wt.%, respectively. The GCF-3/PI composite material achieves a thermal conductivity that surpasses pure PI by 4.9 times. Additionally, GCF-3/PI composite shows an outstanding EMI SE of 69.4 dB compared to 33.1 dB for CF/PI at 12 GHz. The 3D van der Waals heterostructure constructed by carbon felt and graphene sheets is conducive to the formation of continuous networks, providing fast channels for the transmission of phonons and carriers. This study provides a guidance on the impact of 3D van der Waals heterostructures on the thermal and EMI shielding properties of composites.

Zebrafish phd1 enhances mavs-mediated antiviral responses in a hydroxylation-independent manner.

PHD1 is a member of the prolyl hydroxylase domain protein (PHD1-4) family, which plays a prominent role in the post-translational modification of its target proteins by hydroxylating proline residues. The best-characterized targets of PHD1 are hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIF-1α and HIF-2α), two master regulators of the hypoxia signaling pathway. In this study, we show that zebrafish phd1 positively regulates mavs-mediated antiviral innate immunity. Overexpression of phd1 enhances the cellular antiviral response. Consistently, zebrafish lacking phd1 are more susceptible to spring viremia of carp virus infection. Further assays indicate that phd1 interacts with mavs through the C-terminal transmembrane domain of mavs and promotes mavs aggregation. In addition, zebrafish phd1 attenuates K48-linked polyubiquitination of mavs, leading to stabilization of mavs. However, the enzymatic activity of phd1 is not required for phd1 to activate mavs. In conclusion, this study reveals a novel function of phd1 in the regulation of antiviral innate immunity.IMPORTANCEPHD1 is a key regulator of the hypoxia signaling pathway, but its role in antiviral innate immunity is largely unknown.

The Configuration Identification of Guanine Molecules Adsorbed on the Si(100) Surface by Using XPS Shake-up Satellites and NEXAFS.

Bioelectronic devices can be manufactured by organic-inorganic hybrid systems based on biomolecules and silicon semiconductors. The performance of the hybrid systems is largely determined by the adsorption manners of biomolecules on the silicon surface. In this paper, we demonstrated that the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shake-up satellites and near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) at the carbon K-edges can be used to distinguish the interface of guanine molecules anchored on Si(100) surface. There are only 9 possible stable guanine@Si(100) hybrid systems that have been found based on the density functional theory. According to the characteristic peaks, it is confirmed that NEXAFS spectra are more sensitive to the identification of adsorption configurations. While the first characteristic peak in the low energy region of NEXAFS is capable of distinguishing chemical bonds at the interface of the adsorption configurations. These results may facilitate a better understanding of the interface formations between biomolecules and silicon surfaces, which could be further utilized for the new bioelectronic device design.

Radiomics-based analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance image: A prediction nomogram for lymphovascular invasion in breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a nomogram for quantitively predicting lymphovascular invasion (LVI) of breast cancer (BC) based on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) radiomics and morphological features. METHODS: We retrospectively divided 238 patients with BC into training and validation cohorts. Radiomic features from DCE-MRI were subdivided into A1 and A2, representing the first and second post-contrast images respectively. We utilized the minimal redundancy maximal relevance filter to extract radiomic features, then we employed the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to screen these features and calculate individualized radiomics score (Rad score). Through the application of multivariate logistic regression, we built a prediction nomogram that integrated DCE-MRI radiomics and MR morphological features (MR-MF). The diagnostic capabilities were evaluated by comparing C-indices and calibration curves. RESULTS: The diagnostic efficiency of the A1/A2 radiomics model surpassed that of the A1 and A2 alone. Furthermore, we incorporated the MR-MF (diffusion-weighted imaging rim sign, peritumoral edema) and optimized Radiomics into a hybrid nomogram. The C-indices for the training and validation cohorts were 0.868 (95% CI: 0.839-0.898) and 0.847 (95% CI: 0.787-0.907), respectively, indicating a good level of discrimination. Moreover, the calibration plots demonstrated excellent agreement in the training and validation cohorts, confirming the effectiveness of the calibration. CONCLUSION: This nomogram combined MR-MF and A1/A2 Radiomics has the potential to preoperatively predict LVI in patients with BC.

The Difference between Plasmon Excitations in Chemically Heterogeneous Gold and Silver Atomic Clusters.

Weak doping can broaden, shift, and quench plasmon peaks in nanoparticles, but the mechanistic intricacies of the diverse responses to doping remain unclear. In this study, we used the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) to compute the excitation properties of transition-metal Pd- or Pt-doped gold and silver atomic arrays and investigate the evolution characteristics and response mechanisms of their plasmon peaks. The results demonstrated that the Pd or Pt doping of the off-centered 10 × 2 atomic arrays broadened or shifted the plasmon peaks to varying degrees. In particular, for Pd-doped 10 × 2 Au atomic arrays, the broadened plasmon peak significantly blueshifted, whereas a slight red shift was observed for Pt-doped arrays. For the 10 × 2 Ag atomic arrays, Pd doping caused almost no shift in the plasmon peak, whereas Pt doping caused a substantial red shift in the broadened plasmon peak. The analysis revealed that the diversity in these doping responses was related to the energy positions of the d electrons in the gold and silver atomic clusters and the positions of the doping atomic orbitals in the energy bands. The introduction of doping atoms altered the symmetry and gap size of the occupied and unoccupied orbitals, so multiple modes of single-particle transitions were involved in the excitation. An electron transfer analysis indicated a close correlation between excitation energy and the electron transfer of doping atoms. Finally, the differences in the symmetrically centered 11 × 2 doped atomic array were discussed using electron transfer analysis to validate the reliability of this analytical method. These findings elucidate the microscopic mechanisms of the evolution of plasmon peaks in doped atomic clusters and provide new insights into the rational control and application of plasmons in low-dimensional nanostructures.

Comparative Analysis of Gracilaria chouae Polysaccharides Derived from Different Geographical Regions: Focusing on Their Chemical Composition, Rheological Properties, and Gel Characteristics.

Polysaccharides derived from diverse sources exhibit distinct rheological and gel properties, exerting a profound impact on their applicability in the food industry. In this study, we collected five Gracilaria chouae samples from distinct geographical regions, namely Rizhao (RZ), Lianyungang (LYG), Ningde (ND), Beihai (BH), and a wild source from Beihai (BHW). We conducted analyses on the chemical composition, viscosity, and rheological properties, as well as gel properties, to investigate the influence of chemical composition on variations in gel properties. The results revealed that the total sugar, sulfate content, and monosaccharide composition of G. chouae polysaccharides exhibit similarity; however, their anhydrogalactose content varies within a range of 15.31% to 18.98%. The molecular weight distribution of G. chouae polysaccharides ranged from 1.85 to 2.09 × 103 kDa. The apparent viscosity of the LYG and BHW polysaccharides was relatively high, whereas that of RZ and ND was comparatively low. The gel strength displayed a similar trend. BHW and LYG exhibited solid-like behavior, while ND, RZ, and BH demonstrated liquid-like characteristics at low frequencies. The redundancy analysis (RDA) analysis revealed a positive correlation between the texture profile analysis (TPA) characteristics and anhydrogalactose. The study could provide recommendations for the diverse applications of G. chouae polysaccharides derived from different geographical regions.

Over 18.2% efficiency of layer-by-layer all-polymer solar cells enabled by homoleptic iridium(III) carbene complex as solid additive.

The vertical phase distribution of active layers plays a vital role in balancing exciton dissociation and charge transport for achieving efficient polymer solar cells (PSCs). The layer-by-layer (LbL) PSCs are commonly prepared by using sequential spin-coating method from donor and acceptor solutions with distinct solvents and solvent additives. The enhanced exciton dissociation is expected in the LbL PSCs with efficient charge transport in the relatively neat donor or acceptor layers. In this work, a series of LbL all-polymer solar cells (APSCs) were fabricated with PM6 as donor and PY-DT as acceptor, and triplet material m-Ir(CPmPB)3 is deliberately incorporated into PY-DT layer to prolong exciton lifetimes of active layers. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of LbL APSCs is improved to 18.24% from 17.32% by incorporating 0.3 wt% m-Ir(CPmPB)3 in PY-DT layer, benefiting from the simultaneously enhanced short-circuit current density (JSC) of 25.17 mA cm-2 and fill factor (FF) of 74.70%. The enhancement of PCE is attributed to the efficient energy transfer of m-Ir(CPmPB)3 to PM6 and PY-DT, resulting in the prolonged exciton lifetime in the active layer and the increased exciton diffusion distance. The efficient energy transfer from m-Ir(CPmPB)3 to PM6 and PY-DT layer can be confirmed by the increased photoluminescence (PL) intensity and the prolonged PL lifetime of PM6 and PY-DT in PM6 + m-Ir(CPmPB)3 and PY-DT + m-Ir(CPmPB)3 films. This study indicates that the triplet material as solid additive has great potential in fabricating efficient LbL APSCs by prolonging exciton lifetimes in active layers.

Identification of mechanism of the oncogenic role of FGFR1 in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent malignancy of the thyroid. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is highly expressed in PTC and works as an oncogenic protein in this disease. In this report, we wanted to uncover a new mechanism that drives overexpression of FGFR1 in PTC. Analysis of FGFR1 expression in clinical specimens and PTC cells revealed that FGFR1 expression was enhanced in PTC. Using siRNA/shRNA silencing experiments, we found that FGFR1 downregulation impeded PTC cell growth, invasion, and migration and promoted apoptosis in vitro, as well as suppressed tumor growth in vivo. Bioinformatic analyses predicted the potential USP7-FGFR1 interplay and the potential binding between YY1 and the FGFR1 promoter. The mechanism study found that USP7 stabilized FGFR1 protein via deubiquitination, and YY1 could promote the transcription of FGFR1. Our rescue experiments showed that FGFR1 re-expression had a counteracting effect on USP7 downregulation-imposed in vitro alterations of cell functions and in vivo suppression of xenograft growth. In conclusion, our study identifies the deubiquitinating enzyme USP7 and the oncogenic transcription factor YY1 as potent inducers of FGFR1 overexpression. Designing inhibitors targeting FGFR1 or its upstream inducers USP7 and YY1 may be foreseen as a promising strategy to control PTC development.

Polygalaqii, a new species of Polygalaceae from limestone landform in Southern Hunan, China.

Polygalaqii, a new species, is described and illustrated from limestone landform in southern Hunan, China. The new species resembles P.fallax and P.arillata in flower structure of the plants, but readily differs from the latter two in having erect and shorter inflorescences (0.2-1cm VS 10-15cm VS 7-10cm), and fewer flowers (1-5 flowers VS 10-30 flowers VS 10-20 flowers), and the latter two have a later flowering period (late March to mid-April VS May to August VS May to October). And it is an extremely unique new species that will hibernate in the hot summer of July and August. Following the IUCN Red List Criteria, P.qii is assessed as 'Data Deficient (DD)'.

Understanding the moral cognition of aggression: Longitudinal serial effects of personal relative deprivation and hostility on within-person changes in civic moral disengagement.

Moral disengagement is an important aggressive and moral cognition. The mechanisms of changes in moral disengagement remain unclear, especially at the within-person level. We attempted to clarify this by exploring the serial effects of personal relative deprivation and hostility on civic moral disengagement. We conducted a three-wave longitudinal survey with 1058 undergraduates (63.61% women; mean age = 20.97). The results of the random intercept cross-lagged panel model showed that personal relative deprivation at Wave 1 and hostility at Wave 2 formed a serial effect on the within-person changes in civic moral disengagement at Wave 3, and the longitudinal indirect effect test showed that the within-person dynamics in hostility at Wave 2 acted as a mediator. The results of multiple group analysis across genders further showed that the longitudinal indirect role of hostility at Wave 2 was only observed for men, but not for women, which indicates the moderating effect of gender. These findings facilitate an understanding of the mechanisms of aggressive cognitions at the within-person level and offer implications for the prevention and intervention of aggression from the perspective of moral cognition.

Neoadjuvant PARPi or chemotherapy in ovarian cancer informs targeting effector Treg cells for homologous-recombination-deficient tumors.

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is prevalent in cancer, sensitizing tumor cells to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition. However, the impact of HRD and related therapies on the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains elusive. Our study generates single-cell gene expression and T cell receptor profiles, along with validatory multimodal datasets from >100 high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) samples, primarily from a phase II clinical trial (NCT04507841). Neoadjuvant monotherapy with the PARP inhibitor (PARPi) niraparib achieves impressive 62.5% and 73.6% response rates per RECIST v.1.1 and GCIG CA125, respectively. We identify effector regulatory T cells (eTregs) as key responders to HRD and neoadjuvant therapies, co-occurring with other tumor-reactive T cells, particularly terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex). TME-wide interferon signaling correlates with cancer cells upregulating MHC class II and co-inhibitory ligands, potentially driving Treg and Tex fates. Depleting eTregs in HRD mouse models, with or without PARP inhibition, significantly suppresses tumor growth without observable toxicities, underscoring the potential of eTreg-focused therapeutics for HGSOC and other HRD-related tumors.

Optimization scheduling of microgrid comprehensive demand response load considering user satisfaction.

The original load control model of microgrid based on demand response lacks the factors of incentive demand response, the overall satisfaction of users is low, the degree of demand response is low, the Time Of Use (TOU) price of peak-valley filling capacity is weak, and the peak-valley difference of load curve is large. Regarding the limitations of the current microgrid demand response model, this study further optimizes the flexible load control strategy and proposes a two-objective optimization model based on price and incentive. Meanwhile, the model is solved using an improved chaotic particle group algorithm. Finally, the microgrid load data were selected for simulation analysis. The simulation results showed that the comprehensive demand response of flexible control model proposed increased the overall satisfaction of users by 9.51%, the overall operating cost of microgrid suppliers decreased by 12.975/ten thousand yuan, the peak valley difference decreased by 4.61%, and the user demand response increased by 27.24%. The model effectively improves the overall profit of the supply side of the microgrid, improves the user satisfaction, and maximizes the linkage benefits of the supply and demand of the micro grid. In addition, the model effectively reduces the phenomenon of distributed power supply in the microgrid, and realizes the supply and demand matching of the whole load in the microgrid.

Comparing the antioxidation and bioavailability of polysaccharides from extruded and unextruded Baijiu vinasses via in vitro digestion and fecal fermentation.

Extrusion has been proven to be a novel approach for modifying the physicochemical characteristic of Baijiu vinasses (BV) to extract polysaccharides, contributing to the sustainable development of brewing industry. However, the comparison of the bioactivity and bioavailability of extruded (EX) and unextruded (UE) BV polysaccharides was unclear, which impended the determination of the efficacy of extrusion in BV resourcing. In this study, in vitro digestion and fecal fermentation experiments were conducted to investigate the bioavailability, and the results showed that EX exhibited less variation in the monosaccharide composition and molecular weight, while exhibiting a stronger antioxidant capacity compared to UE. Moreover, during fermentation EX increased the abundance of Parasutterella and Lachnospiraceae, while UE promoted the proliferation of Bacteroides, Faecalibacterium, and Dialister, resulting in variation in short-chain fatty acids. These findings indicate that extrusion can enhance the capacity of antioxidants and bioavailability of BV polysaccharides.

Flexible Arc-Shaped Micro-Fiber Bragg Grating Array Three-Dimensional Tactile Sensor for Fingertip Signals Detection and Human Pulse Monitoring.

A flexible arc-shaped micro-Fiber Bragg Grating (mFBG) array three-dimensional tactile sensor for fingertip signal detection and human pulse monitoring is presented. It is based on a three mFBGs array which is embedded in an arc-shaped poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer, which can effectively discriminate the normal force, left force, and right force by monitoring the reflected intensity variation of the three mFBGs. Different from the traditional FBG sensors, this sensor measures force by detecting changes in light intensity, effectively avoiding the wavelength cross-sensitivity impact of temperature variations on the sensor performance. This design strategy simplifies the sensor structure, reduces the system complexity and signal interrogation cost, and enhances reliability and practicality. Through systematic experiments, we successfully validated the sensor's superior performance, achieving a minimum detection force of 0.01 N and providing robust data support for practical applications. In addition, the sensor has been used to monitor human pulse accurately. The successful fabrication and experimental validation of this sensor lay a foundation for its widespread application in fields such as robot perception and human vital signal detection.

Progestogen-driven B7-H4 contributes to onco-fetal immune tolerance.

Immune tolerance mechanisms are shared in cancer and pregnancy. Through cross-analyzing single-cell RNA-sequencing data from multiple human cancer types and the maternal-fetal interface, we found B7-H4 (VTCN1) is an onco-fetal immune tolerance checkpoint. We showed that genetic deficiency of B7-H4 resulted in immune activation and fetal resorption in allogeneic pregnancy models. Analogously, B7-H4 contributed to MPA/DMBA-induced breast cancer progression, accompanied by CD8+ T cell exhaustion. Female hormone screening revealed that progesterone stimulated B7-H4 expression in placental and breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, progesterone receptor (PR) bound to a newly identified -58 kb enhancer, thereby mediating B7-H4 transcription via the PR-P300-BRD4 axis. PR antagonist or BRD4 degrader potentiated immunotherapy in a murine B7-H4+ breast cancer model. Thus, our work unravels a mechanistic and biological connection of a female sex hormone (progesterone) to onco-fetal immune tolerance via B7-H4 and suggests that the PR-P300-BRD4 axis is targetable for treating B7-H4+ cancer.

Efficacy and Safety of Potassium-Competitive Acid Blockers vs Proton Pump Inhibitors for Peptic Ulcer Disease or Postprocedural Artificial Ulcers: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and postprocedural artificial ulcers are common ulcer disease. For them, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) are commonly used in clinical practice. PPI requires acid, time, and multiple doses, but P-CAB has fewer limitations. We compared the efficacy, safety, and prevention of PPI and P-CAB in PUD or artificial ulcer. METHODS: We searched PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov , Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for all studies. All eligible randomized controlled trials up to August 5, 2023, were included. Healing rates, shrinking rates, treatment-emergent adverse events rates, and recurrence rates were measured. Risk of bias, sensitivity analyses, and heterogeneity were also performed. RESULTS: Twenty researches that were selected from 926 screening studies and in total 6,551 participants were included. The risk ratio (RR) of healing rate with P-CABs vs PPIs of PUD at 4 weeks was RR 1.01 (95% confidence interval 0.98-1.04). In addition, the healing rate distinction of artificial peptic ulcer was RR 1.04 (0.89-1.22), and the shrinking rate was mean difference 0.10 (-1.30-1.51). The result of treatment-emergent adverse event rate of PUD was RR 1.11 (0.91-1.35), and the delayed bleeding rate of artificial ulcer was RR 0.35 (0.16-0.80). The RR for recurrence rate of drug-related ulcers was 0.45 (0.25-0.81). DISCUSSION: P-CAB is noninferior in healing artificial ulcer and PUD, also the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. But, there may be a statistical advantage in holding back delayed bleeding and preventing drug-induced ulcers. More standardized experiments are needed for further applications and more precise conclusions.

Silver coordination-induced n-doping of PCBM for stable and efficient inverted perovskite solar cells.

The bidirectional migration of halides and silver causes irreversible chemical corrosion to the electrodes and perovskite layer, affecting long-term operation stability of perovskite solar cells. Here we propose a silver coordination-induced n-doping of [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester strategy to safeguard Ag electrode against corrosion and impede the migration of iodine within the PSCs. Meanwhile, the coordination between DCBP and silver induces n-doping in the PCBM layer, accelerating electron extraction from the perovskite layer. The resultant PSCs demonstrate an efficiency of 26.03% (certified 25.51%) with a minimal non-radiative voltage loss of 126 mV. The PCE of resulting devices retain 95% of their initial value after 2500 h of continuous maximum power point tracking under one-sun irradiation, and > 90% of their initial value even after 1500 h of accelerated aging at 85 °C and 85% relative humidity.

Simultaneous Circular Dichroism and Wavefront Manipulation with Generalized Pancharatnam-Berry Phase Metasurfaces.

Simultaneous circular dichroism and wavefront manipulation have gained considerable attention in various applications, such as chiroptical spectroscopy, chiral imaging, sorting and detection of enantiomers, and quantum optics, which can improve the miniaturization and integration of the optical system. Typically, structures with n-fold rotational symmetry (n ≥ 3) are used to improve circular dichroism, as they induce stronger interactions between the electric and magnetic fields. However, manipulating the wavefront with these structures remains challenging because they are commonly considered isotropic and lack a geometric phase response in linear optics. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an approach to achieve simultaneous circular dichroism (with a maximum value of ∼0.62) and wavefront manipulation using a plasmonic metasurface made up of C3 Archimedes spiral nanostructures. The circular dichroism arises from the magnetic dipole-dipole resonance and strong interactions between adjacent meta-atoms. As a proof of concept, two metadevices are fabricated and characterized in the near-infrared regime. This configuration possesses the potential for future applications in photodetection, chiroptical spectroscopy, and the customization of linear and nonlinear optical responses.
