RESUMO
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are emerging as powerful candidates for large-scale energy storage, due to their inherent high safety and high theoretical capacity. However, the inevitable hydrogen evolution and side effects of the deposition process limit their lifespan, which requires rational engineering of the interface between anode and aqueous electrolyte. In this paper, an anionic surfactant as electrolyte additive, sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS), is introduced to deliver highly reversible zinc metal batteries. Unlike traditional surfactants, the solvation structure is not affected by SDS, which tends to adsorb on the (002) crystal plane of Zn with the purpose of effectively limiting the water molecules adsorption. Attributed to the natural hydrophobic part of SDS, a dynamic electrostatic shielding layer and a unique hydrophobic interface are constructed on the anode. Assisted by the above merits, the adverse surface corrosion, hydrogen evolution and dendrite growth are significantly inhibited without the sacrifice in the deposition kinetics of Zn ions. As a result, the Zn||Zn symmetric batteries demonstrate an increased cycle life of 2000 h (1 mA cm-2, 1 mA h cm-2) with the presence of SDS additive. Such strategy provides a new avenue for the developing advanced electrolytes to be applied in aqueous energy storage systems.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To compare amino acid metabolism patterns between HPV-positive and HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients and identify key genes for a prognostic model. DESIGN: Utilizing the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset, we analyzed amino acid metabolism genes, differentiated genes between HPV statuses, and selected key genes via LASSO regression for the prognostic model. The model's gene expression was verified through immunohistochemistry in clinical samples. Functional enrichment and CIBERSORTx analyses explored biological functions, molecular mechanisms, and immune cell correlations. The model's prognostic capability was assessed using nomograms, calibration, and decision curve analysis. RESULTS: We identified 1157 key genes associated with amino acid metabolism in HNSCC and HPV status. The prognostic model, featuring genes like IQCN, SLC22A1, SYT12, and TLX3, highlighted functions in development, metabolism, and pathways related to receptors and enzymes. It significantly correlated with immune cell infiltration and outperformed traditional staging in prognosis prediction, despite immunohistochemistry results showing limited clinical identification of HPV-related HNSCC. CONCLUSIONS: Distinct amino acid metabolism patterns differentiate HPV-positive from negative HNSCC patients, underscoring the prognostic model's utility in predicting outcomes and guiding therapeutic strategies.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the predominant type of oral cancer, while some patients may develop oral multiple primary cancers (MPCs) with unclear etiology. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and genomic alterations of oral MPCs. Clinicopathological data from patients with oral single primary carcinoma (SPC, n = 202) and oral MPCs (n = 34) were collected and compared. Copy number alteration (CNA) analysis was conducted to identify chromosomal-instability differences among oral MPCs, recurrent OSCC cases, and OSCC patients with lymph node metastasis. Whole-exome sequencing was employed to identify potential unique gene mutations in oral MPCs patients. Additionally, CNA and phylogenetic tree analyses were used to gain preliminary insights into the molecular characteristics of different primary tumors within individual patients. Our findings revealed that, in contrast to oral SPC, females predominated the oral MPCs (70.59%), while smoking and alcohol use were not frequent in MPCs. Moreover, long-term survival outcomes were poorer in oral MPCs. From a CNA perspective, no significant differences were observed between oral MPCs patients and those with recurrence and lymph node metastasis. In addition to commonly mutated genes such as CASP8, TP53 and MUC16, in oral MPCs we also detected relatively rare mutations, such as HS3ST6 and RFPL4A. Furthermore, this study also demonstrated that most MPCs patients exhibited similarities in certain genomic regions within individuals, and distinct differences of the similarity degree were observed between synchronous and metachronous oral MPCs.

OBJECTIVES: This study explored associations between histological features of dysplasia and malignant transformation, as well as genomic copy number alterations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Overall, 201 samples were collected from patients of oral leukoplakia. The associations of dysplastic features with malignant transformation and copy number alterations were investigated by Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and the Mann-Whitney U-test. RESULTS: Eight individual histological features, such as irregular epithelial stratification (p = 0.001), mitoses high in epithelium (p = 0.033), extension of changes along minor gland ducts (p < 0.001), etc., were associated with greater risk of malignant transformation. A model including histological features and age showed good performance for predicting malignant transformation (area under receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.806). Irregular epithelial stratification (p = 0.007), abnormal nuclear shape (p = 0.005), abnormal cell size (p = 0.004), etc. were associated with greater genomic instability. CONCLUSIONS: A Cox proportional hazards model using eight histological features and patient age reliably predicted the malignant potential of oral epithelial dysplasia. Identification of these histological features closely related to malignant transformation may aid the management of oral potentially malignant disorders and early detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
RESUMO
H2O2 is an important signaling molecule in the body, and its levels fluctuate in many pathological sites, therefore, it can be used as a biomarker for early diagnosis of disease. Since the environment in vivo is extremely complex, it is of great significance to develop a probe that can accurately monitor the fluctuation of H2O2 level without interference from other physiological processes. Based on this, we designed and synthesized two new near-infrared H2O2 fluorescent probes, LTA and LTQ, based on the ICT mechanism. Both of them have good responses to H2O2, but LTA has a faster response speed. In addition, the probe LTA has good biocompatibility, good water solubility, and a large Stokes shift (95 nm). The detection limit is 4.525 µM. The probe was successfully used to visually detect H2O2 in living cells and zebrafish and was successfully used to monitor the changes in H2O2 levels in zebrafish due to APAP-induced liver injury.

OBJECTIVES: To reveal the mechanisms underlying the epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)-mediated inhibition of carcinogenesis and the related regulatory signaling pathways. DESIGN: The effect of EGCG on the proliferation of OSCC cells was examined. SuperPred, ChEMBL, Swiss TargetPrediction, DisGeNET, GeneCards, and National Center for Biotechnology Information databases were used to predict the EGCG target genes and oral leukoplakia (OL)-related, oral submucosal fibrosis (OSF)-related, and OSCC-related genes. The binding of EGCG to the target proteins was simulated using AutoDock and PyMOL. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was subjected to consensus clustering analysis to predict the downstream molecules associated with these targets, as well as their potential functions and pathways. RESULTS: EGCG significantly inhibited OSCC cell proliferation (p < 0.001). By comparing EGCG target genes with genes linked to oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD) and OSCC, a total of eleven potential EGCG target genes were identified. Furthermore, EGCG has the capacity to bind to eleven proteins. Based on consensus clustering and enrichment analysis, it is suggested that EGCG may hinder the progression of cancer by altering the cell cycle and invasive properties in precancerous lesions of the oral cavity. Some possible strategies for modifying the cell cycle and invasive properties may include EGCG-mediated suppression of specific genes and proteins, which are associated with cancer development. CONCLUSIONS: This study investigated the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways associated with the EGCG-induced suppression of OSCC. The identification of specific pharmacological targets of EGCG during carcinogenesis is crucial for the development of innovative combination therapies involving EGCG.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the epidemiological, clinical, and prognostic features of multiple primary cancers (MPC) following oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). DESIGN: Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database were analyzed to determine the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of multiple subsequent sites, difference in clinical and prognostic features between MPC and single primary OSCC. RESULTS: The sites with the highest SIRs were the oral cavity (SIR = 69.48), other oral cavity and pharynx (SIR=55.46), pharynx (SIR=39.21), tonsils (SIR=33.52), trachea (SIR=33.24), esophagus (SIR=18.00), and larynx (SIR=13.12). The 5- and 10-year survival rates for single primary OSCC were 57.9% (95% CI: 56.7-59.2%) and 47.1% (95% CI: 45.7-48.6%), respectively, while those for MPC were 66.9% (95% CI: 64.6-69.4%) and 42.2% (95% CI: 39.5-45.2%), respectively. The mean age of MPC patients was significantly higher than that of single primary OSCC patients. MPC are more common in the gums and other sites of the oral cavity, and more likely to be detected in early TNM stage and pathological grade. Age, site, T-stage, and N-stage were significantly associated with prognosis of MPC. CONCLUSIONS: Significant differences in clinical and prognostic features were found between MPC and single primary OSCC. Considering MPC has a poor long-term prognosis, it is necessary to identify MPC and single primary OSCC early.

The construction of S-scheme heterojunctions is an effective approach to realize artificial photocatalytic processes. For the higher solar energy conversion efficiency, current research focuses on improving the interfacial intimacy and precisely modulating the strength of the internal electric field (IEF). To address this issue, we propose a novel MOF-based synthesis and derivation strategy. The heterojunction obtained by this strategy tends to form an intimate interface and a tunable IEF, which facilitates the transfer and separation of photogenerated carriers. Herein, a ZnS/ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) S-Scheme heterojunction containing sulfur vacancies (Sv) was successfully synthesized, and its good photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) activity confirmed the feasibility of this strategy. The prepared Sv-ZnS/ZIS exhibits an apparent quantum yield of 19.8 ± 1.0 % at 420 nm and a hydrogen evolution rate of 2912.3 ± 185.9 µmol g-1h-1, which is 9.0 and 33.6 times higher than pure ZIS and Sv-ZnS, respectively. Furthermore, the yield of photoreduction CO2 to CO reaches 2075.7 ± 63.0 µmol g-1h-1 with a CO selectivity of 93.0 ± 0.8 %. This work provides new sights for the rational design and construction of S-scheme photocatalysts with sulfur vacancies for efficient photocatalysis.
RESUMO
The design of multifunctional photocatalyst with strong redox performance is the key to achieve sustainable utilization of solar energy. In this study, an elegant S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was constructed between metal-free graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and noble-metal-free tungsten oxide (W18O49). As-established S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst enabled multifunctional photocatalysis behavior, including hydrogen production, degradation (Rhodamine B) and bactericidal (Escherichia coli) properties, which represented extraordinary sustainability. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations manifested that the integration of double-layer hollow g-C3N4 nanotubes with W18O49 nanowires could expand the light harvesting ability. Demonstrated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements, the S-scheme heterojunction not only promoted the separation of carriers, but also improved the redox ability of the catalyst. This work provides a theoretical basis for enhancing the photocatalytic performances and broadening the application field of photocatalysis.

The aim of the study is to identify key genes during the progression from oral leukoplakia (OL) to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and predict effective diagnoses. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and differential expression analysis were performed to identify seven genes associated with the progression from OL to OSCC. Twelve machine learning algorithms including k-nearest neighbor (KNN), neural network (NNet), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) were used to construct multi-gene models, which revealed that each model had good diagnostic efficacy. The functional mechanism or the pathways associated with these genes were evaluated using enrichment analysis, subtype clustering, and immune infiltration analysis. The enrichment analysis revealed that the genes enriched were associated with the cell cycle, cell division, and intracellular energy metabolism. The immunoassay results revealed that the genes primarily affected the infiltration of proliferating T cells and macrophage polarization. Finally, a nomogram and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to predict the prognostic efficacy of key genes in OSCC patients. The results showed that genes could predict the prognosis of the patients, and patients in the high-risk group had a poor prognosis. Our study identified that the seven key genes, including DHX9, BCL2L12, RAD51, MELK, CDC6, ANLN, and KIF4A, were associated with the progression from OL to OSCC. These genes had good diagnostic efficacy and could be used as potential biomarkers for the prognosis of OSCC patients.
RESUMO
The cleavage stimulation factor subunit complex is involved in the cleavage and polyadenylation of 3'-end pre-mRNAs that regulate mRNA formation and processing. However, cleavage stimulation factor subunit 2 (CSTF2) was found to play a more critical regulatory role across cancers. General cancer data sets from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Genotype-Tissue Expression project were thus downloaded for differential analysis, and the possible functions and mechanisms of CSTF2 in general cancer were analyzed using the Compartments database, cBioPortal database, Tumor Immune Single-cell Hub database, and Comparative Toxigenomics database using gene set enrichment analysis and R software. The results showed that CSTF2 could affect DNA repair and methylation in tumor cells. In addition, CSTF2 was associated with multiple tumor immune infiltrates in a wide range of cancers, and its high expression was associated with multiple immune checkpoints; therefore, it could serve as a potential target for many drug molecules. We also proved that CSTF2 promotes oral cell proliferation and migration. The high diagnostic efficacy of CSTF2 suggested that this gene may act as a new biomarker and personalized therapeutic target for a variety of tumors.
RESUMO
Rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted more and more attention due to the advantages of high safety, low cost, and environmental friendly in recent years. However, the lack of high-performance cathode materials and uncertain reaction mechanisms hinder the large-scale application of ZIBs. Herein, a 1D structure interlaced by ZnxMnO2 nanowires and carbon nanotubes is synthesized as cathode material for ZIB. The ZnxMnO2/CNTs cathode exhibits excellent specific capacity of 400 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and outstanding long-cycle stability (with a capacity retention of 93% after 100 cycles at 1000 mA g-1), which indicates the Zn2+ pre-intercalation and composite carbon nanotubes can effectively change the storage space of the tunnel structure and increase the electron transmission rate. In addition, the energy storage mechanism of the highly reversible co-insertion of H+ and Zn2+ is further elaborated. This work has enlightenment and promotion for the future research of ZIBs cathode materials. Moreover, the simple preparation method, low cost and excellent performance of ZnxMnO2/CNTs cathode material provide a new way for the practical application of ZIBs.
RESUMO
Binary transition metal oxides, especially vanadate metal oxides, are highly desirable for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) anode materials due to their low-budget and high theoretical lithium storage capacity. However, low conductivity and poor cycle stability caused by volume changes during charge and discharge limit their grid-scale applications. Herein, a novel spinel MnV2O4 double-layer hollow sandwich nanosheets enclosed in N-doped porous carbon layer (MnV2O4/NC) was efficiently synthesized in 5â¯min by microwave-assisted and in-situ pyrolysis the coated polydopamine. MnV2O4/NC shows the superior performance as anode for LIBs with a specific capacities of 760â¯mAâ¯hâ¯g-1 at 1000â¯mAâ¯g-1 and outstanding of cycling stability with a specific capacities of 525.5â¯mAâ¯hâ¯g-1 after 1000 cycles even at 5000â¯mAâ¯g-1, respectively, which due to its unique double-layer hollow sandwich microstructure, mixed lithium storage mechanism and in-situ coating of nitrogen-doped carbon layer.
RESUMO
This work aims to analyze and construct a novel competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with bone bridge formation, lncRNA. Using RNA sequencing and bioinformatics, we analyzed expression profiles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and mRNAs in whole blood cells from 5 AS patients and 3 healthy individuals. Next, we verified the expression levels of candidate lncRNAs in 97 samples using the ΔΔCt value of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen lncRNAs and clinical indicators for use in the prediction model. Both SPSS 24.0 and R software were used for data analysis and prediction model construction. The results showed that compared with the normal controls, 205 long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), 961 microRNAs (miRNAs), and 200 mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were differentially expressed in the AS patients. We identified lncRNA 122K13.12 and lncRNA 326C3.7 among 205 lncRNAs differentially expressed between AS patients and healthy humans. Then, we noted that 30 miRNAs and five mRNAs formed a ceRNA network together with these two lncRNAs. These ceRNA networks might regulate the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway in AS development. In addition, the expression level of lncRNA 122K13.12 and lncRNA 326C3.7 correlated with various structural damage indicators in AS. Specifically, the lncRNA 326C3.7 expression level was an independent risk factor in bone bridge formation [area under the ROC curve (AUC) = 0.739 (0.609-0.870) and p = 0.003], and the best Youden Index was 0.405 (sensitivity = 0.800 and specificity = 0.605). Moreover, we constructed a lncRNA-based nomogram that could effectively predict bone bridge formation [AUC = 0.870 (0.780-0.959) and p < 0.001, and the best Youden Index was 0.637 (sensitivity = 0.900 and specificity = 0.737)]. In conclusion, we uncovered a unique ceRNA signaling network in AS with bone bridge formation and identified novel biomarkers and prediction models with the potential for clinical applications.
RESUMO
High-capacity Co2VO4 has become a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), benefiting from its lower output voltage during cycling than other cobalt vanadates. However, the application of this new conversion-type electrode is still hampered by its inherent large volume variation and poor kinetics. Here, a 2D-2D heterostructure building strategy has been developed to enhance the electrode performance of Co2VO4 through construction of Co/Co2VO4 nanocomposites converted from the in situ phase separation of Co2V2O7·3.3H2O nanosheets. Co/Co2VO4 based on face-to-face contact exhibits the optimized stacking configuration, where Co nanocrystals give gaps of several nanometers between stacked Co2VO4 nanosheets, enabling full contact with the electrolyte, a shorter transport path of lithium ions and more reactive sites. With this design, Co/Co2VO4 anodes deliver outstanding reversible capacity (750 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1) with ultrahigh capacity retention rate, and excellent cycle stability at high rate (520 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 retained after 400 cycles). An "active center's charge transfer-capacity compensation" model was proposed based on capacity analysis, XPS depth analysis and HRTEM observation to uncover the fundamental reason of the excellent cycle performance. This in situ 2D-2D heterostructure constructing strategy may open up the possibility for designing high-performance LIBs.
RESUMO
Chemokines play a significant role in cancer. CXC-motif chemokine ligands (CXCLs) are associated with the tumorigenesis and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC); however, their specific functions in the tumor microenvironment remain unclear. Here, we analyzed the molecular networks and transcriptional data of HNSC patients from the Oncomine, GEPIA, String, cBioPortal, Metascape, TISCH, and TIMER databases. To verify immune functions of CXCLs, their expression was analyzed in different immune cell types. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the correlation between CXCL9-12 and 14 expression and advanced tumor stage. CXCL2, 3, 8, 10, 13, and 16 were remarkably related to tumor immunity. Kaplan-Meier and TIMER survival analyses revealed that high expression of CXCL1, 2, 4, and 6-8 is correlated with low survival in HNSC patients, whereas high expression of CXCL9, 10, 13, 14, and 17 predicts high survival. Only CXCL13 and 14 were associated with overall survival in human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative patients. Single-cell datasets confirmed that CXCLs are associated with HNSC-related immune cells. Thus, CXCL1-6, 8-10, 12-14, and 17 could be prognostic targets for HNSC, and CXCL13 and 14 could be novel biomarkers of HPV-negative HNSC.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancers, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its onset and development have not yet been fully elucidated. Indeed, an in-depth understanding of the potential molecular mechanisms underlying HNSCC oncogenesis may aid the development of better treatment strategies. Recent epigenetic studies have revealed that the m6A RNA modification plays important roles in HNSCC. In this review, we summarize the role of m6A modification in various types of HNSCC, including thyroid, nasopharyngeal, hypopharyngeal squamous cell, and oral carcinoma. In addition, we discuss the regulatory roles of m6A in immune cells within the tumor microenvironment, as well as the potential molecular mechanisms. Finally, we review the development of potential targets for treating cancer based on the regulatory functions of m6A, with an aim to improving targeted therapies for HNSCC. Together, this review highlights the important roles that m6A modification plays in RNA synthesis, transport, and translation, and demonstrates that the regulation of m6A-related proteins can indirectly affect mRNA and ncRNA function, thus providing a novel strategy for reengineering intrinsic cell activity and developing simpler interventions to treat HNSCC.
RESUMO
A stable MnOx @C@MnOx core-shell heterostructure consisting of vertical MnOx nanosheets grown evenly on the surface of the MnOx @carbon nanowires are obtained by simple liquid phase method combined with thermal treatment. The hierarchical MnOx @C@MnOx heterostructure electrode possesses a high specific capacitance of 350 F g-1 and an excellent cycle performance owing to the existence of the pore structure among the ultrasmall MnOx nanoparticles and the rapid transmission of electrons between the active material and carbon coating layer. Particularly, according to the in situ Raman spectra analysis, no characteristic peaks corresponding to MnOOH are found during charging/discharging, indicating that pseudocapacitive behavior of the MnOx electrode have no relevance to the intercalation/deintercalation of protons (H+ ) in the electrolyte. Further combining in situ X-ray powder diffraction analysis, the diffraction peak of α-MnO2 can be detected in the process of charging, while Mn3 O4 phase is found in discharge products. Therefore, these results demonstrate that the MnOx undergoes a reversible phase transformation reaction of Mn3 O4 âα-MnO2 . Moreover, the assembled all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor with a MnOx @C@MnOx electrode delivers a high energy density of 23 Wh kg-1 , an acceptable power density of 2500 W kg-1 , and an excellent cyclic stability performance of 94% after 2000 cycles, showing the potential for practical application.
