RESUMO

Effects of short-term exposure to ambient air pollution on systemic immunological and inflammatory biomarkers in rural population have not been adequately characterized. From May to July 2021, 5816 participants in rural villages of northern Henan Province, China, participated in this cross-sectional study. Blood biomarkers of systemic inflammation were determined including peripheral white blood cells (WBC), eosinophils (EOS), basophils (BAS), monocytes (MON), lymphocytes (LYM), neutrophils (NEU), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). The concentrations of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5), PM10, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3) were assessed up to 7 days prior to the blood draw. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the associations between air pollution exposure and the above-mentioned blood biomarkers. Significantly positive associations were revealed between PM2.5, CO and WBC; CO, O3 and LYM; PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO and NEU; PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO and NLR; PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, CO, O3 and hs-CRP. Meanwhile, negative associations were found between SO2 and WBC; PM2.5, PM10, NO2, CO, or O3 and EOS; PM2.5, SO2, or CO and BAS; SO2, NO2 or O3 and MON; PM2.5, PM10, SO2, or NO2 and LYM. Moreover, men, individuals with normal body mass index (BMI), current smokers, and those older than 60 years were found vulnerable to air pollution effects. Taken together, short-term exposure to air pollution was associated with systemic inflammatory responses, providing insight into the potential mechanisms for air pollution-induced detrimental systemic effects in rural residents.

RESUMO

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a pungent gas that is one of the key mediators of signal transduction in biological systems, and its presence is related to the freshness of some protein foods. Using phenothiazine derivatives as fluorophores and 2, 4-dinitrobenzene sulfonate (DNBS) fragments as reaction groups, a near-infrared (NIR) probe WX-HS for H2S identification was designed. With the addition of H2S, WX-HS appeared a strong fluorescence signal at 660 nm with short reaction time (90 s) and high sensitivity, and fluorescence state change from non-fluorescent to orange-red. In addition, WX-HS could effectively detect H2S produced during food oxidation. Based on its low cytotoxicity, the WX-HS probe further enabled the detection and imaging of H2S in A549 cells.

RESUMO

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated with impaired airway innate immunity, leading to diverse lung disorders. However, the mechanisms of the adverse effects of PM2.5 on the airway innate immune system has not been adequately elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the association between short-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 and airway innate immune responses. A panel study of 53 undergraduate students was conducted in November 2020 and April 2021. Levels of airway innate immune biomarkers including interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in induced sputum were measured, and airway microbiota and metabolites examined. Linear mixed-effect model was used to evaluate the effects of short-term exposure to PM2.5 on the above-listed airway immune biomarkers. The results indicated that for every 10 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5 concentration (at lag3), was associated with an increase of 21.3 % (5.4 %-37.1 %), 26.2 % (0.30 %-52.1 %), 22.4 % (0.70 %-44.2 %), 27.4 % (6.6 %-48.3 %), 18.3 % (4.6 %-31.9 %), 3.9 % (0.20 %-7.6 %) or 2.4 % (0.10 %-4.7 %) in IL-6, TNF-α, IL-17, IL-4, IFN-γ, MPO, or MMP-9 levels, respectively. Meanwhile, exposure to higher levels of ambient PM2.5 was found to significantly modulate airway microbiota and metabolite profile. Specifically, Prevotella and Fusobacterium, as well as 96 different metabolites were associated with PM2.5 levels. The metabolic pathways associated with these metabolites mainly included amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism. Notably, PM2.5 exposure-induced alterations of some airway microbiota were significantly correlated with specific airway metabolic change. Taken together, these results demonstrated that short-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with alterations of airway immune response, microbial dysbiosis and changes of metabolites. This study provided insights into the mechanisms underlying PM2.5-induced airway innate immune responses.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In 2016, the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use updated its efficacy guideline for good clinical practice and introduced predefined quality tolerance limits (QTLs) as a quality control in clinical trials. QTLs are complementary to Quality by Design (QbD) principles (ICH-E8) and are one of the components of the risk-based clinical trial quality management system. METHODS: Currently the framework for QTLs process is well established, extensively describing the operational aspects of Defining, Monitoring and Reporting, but a single source of commonly used methods to establish QTLs and secondary limits is lacking. This paper will primarily focus on closing this gap and include applications of statistical process control and Bayesian methods on commonly used study level quality parameters such as premature treatment discontinuation, study discontinuation and significant protocol deviations as examples. CONCLUSIONS: Application of quality tolerance limits to parameters that correspond to critical to quality factors help identify systematic errors. Some situations pose special challenges to implementing QTLs and not all methods are optimal in every scenario. Early warning signals, in addition to QTL, are necessary to trigger actions to further minimize the possibility of an end-of-study excursion.

RESUMO

High-precision measurements of 184Os/188Os, 186Os/188Os, and 187Os/188Os ratios are significant in the fields of geochemistry and cosmochemistry. However, no high-precision measurement technique exists for simultaneously obtaining all three ratios using a static method for samples with an Os content of <1 ng or 186OsO3‾ and 187OsO3‾ ion-beam intensities of <150 mV. This greatly limits research on rare samples with small sample sizes or low Os contents, such as Lunar, Martian, or old Earth samples. This paper reports a static method, which could achieve the simultaneous measurement of 9 Faraday cups (FCs) with high-signal/noise ratio 1012 Ω amplifiers and 1013 Ω amplifiers and two compact discrete dynodes (CDDs). By analyzing two calibration solutions, a precision value of less than 3‰ (2RSD) could be achieved for 184Os/188Os ratios, even if the 184OsO3‾ intensity was as low as 1000 cps. The precision values for the 186Os/188Os and 187Os/188Os ratios were similar and could be better than 0.066‰ (2RSD) when the intensities of 186OsO3‾ and 187OsO3‾ were greater than 30 mV, which can be obtained with conventional 1011 Ω amplifiers only at signals larger than 150 mV. Three geological reference materials were used in this study. The precision values of 184Os/188Os, 186Os/188Os, and 187Os/188Os ratios reached 2, 0.061, and 0.050‰ (2RSD), respectively, when the maximum Os amount was approximately 12 ng, and 87, 15, and 10‰ (2RSD), respectively, when the maximum Os amount was as low as approximately 66 pg. Additionally, our results show that changes in the volume of oxygen added during measurement can cause significant variations in the oxygen isotope composition. This static measurement method not only avoids the nonlinear signal change of the instrument during the analysis process but also realizes the accurate removal of the oxygen isobaric interference in the run, which could improve the precision of 184Os/188Os, 186Os/188Os, and 187Os/188Os ratios for small-size/low-signal samples.

RESUMO

As particles carry quantified energy, photon radiation enables orbital transitions of energy levels, leading to changes in the spin state of electrons. The resulting switchable structural bistability may bring a new paradigm for manipulating ferroelectric polarization. However, the studies on molecular orbital breaking in the ferroelectric field remain blank. Here, for the first time, a new mechanism of ferroelectrics-dual breaking of molecular orbitals and spatial symmetry, demonstrated in a photochromic organic crystal with light-induced polarization switching, is formally proposed. By alternating the ultraviolet/visible light irradiation, the states of electron spin and the radial distribution p atomic orbitals experience a change, showing a reversible switch from "shoulder-to-shoulder" form to a "head-to-head" form. This reflects a reversible conversion between π and σ bonds, which induces and couples with the variation of spatial symmetry. The intersection of spatial symmetry breaking and molecular orbital breaking in ferroelectrics present in this work will be more conducive to data encryption and anticounterfeiting.

RESUMO

Suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) 1/2/3/4 are involved in the occurrence and progression of multiple malignancies; however, their prognostic and developmental value in patients with glioblastoma (GBM) remains unclear. The present study used TCGA, ONCOMINE, SangerBox3.0, UALCAN, TIMER2.0, GENEMANIA, TISDB, The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) and other databases to analyse the expression profile, clinical value and prognosis of SOCS1/2/3/4 in GBM, and to explore the potential development mechanism of action of SOCS1/2/3/4 in GBM. The majority of analyses showed that SOCS1/2/3/4 transcription and translation levels in GBM tissues were significantly higher than those in normal tissues. qRT-PCR, western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemical staining were used to verify that SOCS3 was expressed at higher mRNA and protein levels in GBM than in normal tissues or cells. High SOCS1/2/3/4 mRNA expression was associated with poor prognosis in patients with GBM, especially SOCS3. SOCS1/2/3/4 were highly contraindicated, which had few mutations, and were not associated with clinical prognosis. Furthermore, SOCS1/2/3/4 were associated with the infiltration of specific immune cell types. In addition, SOCS3 may affect the prognosis of patients with GBM through JAK/STAT signalling pathway. Analysis of the GBM-specific protein interaction (PPI) network showed that SOCS1/2/3/4 were involved in multiple potential carcinogenic mechanisms of GBM. In addition, colony formation, Transwell, wound healing and western blotting assays revealed that inhibition of SOCS3 decreased the proliferation, migration and invasion of GBM cells. In conclusion, the present study elucidated the expression profile and prognostic value of SOCS1/2/3/4 in GBM, which may provide potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GBM, especially SOCS3.

RESUMO

The mechanism on ferroelectric phase transitions is mainly attributed to the displacive and/or order-disorder transition of internal components since the discovery of the ferroelectricity in 1920, rather than the breaking and recombination of chemical bonds. Here, we demonstrate how to utilize the chemical bond rearrangement in a diarylethene-based crystal to realize the light-driven mm2F1-type ferroelectric phase transition. Such a photoinduced phase transition is entirely driven by switchable covalent bonds with breaking and reformation, enabling the reversible light-controllable ferroelectric polarization switching, dielectric and nonlinear optical bistability. Moreover, light as quantized energy can achieve contactless, nondestructive, and remote-control operations. This work proposes a new mechanism of ferroelectric phase transition, and highlights the significance of photochromic molecules in designing new ferroelectrics for photocontrol data storage and sensing.

RESUMO

Organic single-component ferroelectrics are highly desirable for their low molecular mass, light weight, low processing temperature, and excellent film-forming properties. Organosilicon materials with a strong film-forming ability, weather resistance, nontoxicity, odorlessness, and physiological inertia are very suitable for device applications related to the human body. However, the discovery of high-T c organic single-component ferroelectrics has been very scarce, and the organosilicon ones even less so. Here, we used a chemical design strategy of H/F substitution to successfully synthesize a single-component organosilicon ferroelectric tetrakis(4-fluorophenylethynyl)silane (TFPES). Systematic characterizations and theory calculations revealed that, compared with the parent nonferroelectric tetrakis(phenylethynyl)silane, fluorination caused slight modifications of the lattice environment and intermolecular interactions, inducing a 4/mmmFmm2-type ferroelectric phase transition at a high T c of 475 K in TFPES. To our knowledge, this T c should be the highest among the reported organic single-component ferroelectrics, providing a wide operating temperature range for ferroelectrics. Moreover, fluorination also brought about a significant improvement in the piezoelectric performance. Combined with excellent film properties, the discovery of TFPES provides an efficient path for designing ferroelectrics suitable for biomedical and flexible electronic devices.

RESUMO

The burst of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the culprit of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. As direct ROS scavengers, antioxidants are clinically documented drugs for the prevention of reperfusion injury. However, some drugs give disappointing therapeutic performance despite their good in vitro effects. Therefore, in vivo assessments are necessary to screen the antioxidants before clinical trials. However, traditional methods such as histological study require invasive and complicated preprocessing of the biological samples, which may fail to reflect the actual level of the unstable ROS with a very short lifetime. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a characteristic endogenous ROS produced during reperfusion. Here, we modified the ONOO--responsive near-infrared fluorescent probe on a myocardium-targeting silica cross-linked micelle to prepare a nanoprobe for the real-time monitoring of ONOO- during coronary reperfusion. A ROS-stable cyanine dye was co-labeled as an internal reference to achieve ratiometric sensing. The nanoprobe can passively target the infarcted myocardium and monitor the generation of ONOO- during reperfusion in real-time. The antioxidants, carvedilol, atorvastatin, and resveratrol, were used as model drugs to demonstrate the capability of the nanoprobe to evaluate the antioxidative potency in situ. The drugs were either loaded and delivered by the nanoprobe to compare their in vivo efficacy under similar concentrations or administered intraperitoneally as a free drug to take their pharmacokinetics into account. The imaging results revealed that pharmacokinetics might be the determinant factor that influences the efficacy of the antioxidants.

RESUMO

Chirality exists everywhere from natural amino acids to particle physics. The introduction of point chirality has recently been shown to be an efficient strategy for the construction of molecular ferroelectrics. In contrast to point chirality, however, axial chirality is rarely used to design ferroelectrics so far. Here, based on optically active 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL), which has been applied extensively as a versatile chiral reagent in asymmetric catalysis, chiral recognition, and optics, we successfully design a pair of axial-chiral BINOL multiferroics, (R)-BINOL-DIPASi and (S)-BINOL-DIPASi. They experience a 2F1-type full ferroelectric/ferroelastic phase transition at a high temperature of 362 and 363 K, respectively. Piezoelectric force microscopy and polarization-voltage hysteresis loops demonstrate their ferroelectric domains and domain switching, and polarized light microscopy visualizes the evolution of stripe-shaped ferroelastic domains. The axial-chiral BINOL building block promotes the generation of the polar structure and ferroelectricity, and the organosilicon component increases the rotational energy barrier and thus the phase transition temperature. This work presents the first axial-chiral high-temperature multiferroic crystals, offering an efficient path for designing molecular multiferroics through the introduction of axial chirality.

RESUMO

Low light stress increases the chalkiness of rice; however, this effect has not been fully characterized. In this study, we demonstrated that low light resulted in markedly decreased activity of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase in the grains and those of sucrose synthase and soluble starch synthase in the early period of grain filling. Furthermore, low light also resulted in decreased activities of granule-bound starch synthase and starch branching enzyme in the late period of grain filling. Therefore, the maximum and mean grain filling rates were reduced but the time to reach the maximum grain filling rates and effective grain filling period were increased by low light. Thus, it significantly decreased the grain weight at the maximum grain filling rate and grain weight and retarded the endosperm growth and development, leading to a loose arrangement of the amyloplasts and an increase in the chalkiness of the rice grains. Compared to the grains at the top panicle part, low light led to a greater decrease in the grain weight at the maximum grain filling rate and time to reach the grain weight at the maximum grain filling rate at the bottom panicle part, which contributed to an increase in chalkiness by increasing the rates of different chalky types at the bottom panicle part. In conclusion, low light disturbed starch synthesis in grains, thereby impeding the grain filling progress and increasing chalkiness, particularly for grains at the bottom panicle part.

RESUMO

The optical manipulation of polarization has gained widespread attention because it offers a promising route to new contactless memories and switches. However, the current research basically focuses on the photocontrol of data storage rather than data reading, which cannot realize the whole process of contactless write-read-erase data storage. Here, we present a pair of enantiomorphic diarylethene derivative ferroelectric crystals, showing a light-driven phase transition triggered by photoisomerization between the open and closed forms. Under the visible light, they exhibit a binary-domain state in the open form with white color and the band gap of 3.26 eV, while they show a single-domain state in the closed form with blue color and the band gap of 1.68 eV after UV irradiation of 254/365 nm. In addition to writing and erasing ferroelectric domains with light, we can also use light to read their color to determine the polarization state of domains. Moreover, diarylethene derivatives have better thermal stability, higher photoexcited conversion efficiency, and larger changes of the absorption wavelength between two isomers than those in salicylideneaniline derivatives. This work not only discovers the first diarylethene-based ferroelectric crystals but also successfully realizes completely contactless manipulation of write-read-erase data storage in the organic ferroelectric semiconductors.

RESUMO

Shape memory alloys have been used extensively in actuators, couplings, medical guide wires, and smart devices, because of their unique shape memory effect and superelasticity triggered by the reversible martensitic phase transformations. For ferroic materials, however, almost no memory effects have been found for their ferroic domains after reversible phase transformations. Here, we present a pair of single-component organic enantiomorphic ferroelectric/ferroelastic crystals, (R)- and (S)-N-3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine SA-NPh-(R) and SA-NPh-(S). It is notable that not only can their ferroic domain patterns disappear and reappear during reversible thermodynamic phase transformations, but they can also disappear and reappear during reversible light-driven phase transformations induced by enol-keto photoisomerization, both of which are from P1 to P21 polar space groups. Most importantly, the domain patterns are exactly the same in the initial and final states, demonstrating the existence of a memory effect for the ferroic domains in SA-NPh-(R) and SA-NPh-(S). As far as we are aware, the domain memory effect triggered by both thermodynamic and light-driven ferroelectric/ferroelastic phase transformations remains unexplored in ferroic materials. Thermal and optical control of domain memory effect would open up a fresh research field for smart ferroic materials.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide with a poor prognosis. The tumor microenvironment (TME) serves a pivotal role in affecting the prognosis and efficacy of immunotherapy. Given the poor prognosis of GC patients and the limitation of immunotherapy, we urged to identify new prognostic and immunotherapeutic biomarkers. METHODS: The transcriptome data were downloaded from the TCGA, GEO, and GEPIA databases, and performed differential analysis of AFF3 in tumor samples and normal samples. The UALCAN, Kaplan-Meier plotter and GEPIA databases were employed to assess the correlation of AFF3 with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. The potential mechanism of AFF3 was explored by the GO and KEGG enrichment. The potential role of AFF3 on tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) was explored by TIMER2.0 and TISIDB. TIMER2.0 and SangerBox3.0 databases were, respectively, used to determine the correlation of AFF3 with immune checkpoint (ICs), tumor mutational burden (TMB), and microsatellite instability (MSI) in GC. RESULTS: We found significant downregulation of AFF3 in GC tissues as compared with normal tissues. However, GC patients having a higher expression of AFF3 were found to have worse clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. Moreover, the GO enrichment analysis illustrated that AFF3 might regulate the immune cells in the TME. In addition, the AFF3 was positively correlated with TIICs, ICs, TMB, and MSI. CONCLUSION: Here, we conclude that AFF3 may be a promising potential marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of GC patients, and may influence response to ICIs by affecting TIICs and ICs expression in the TME.

RESUMO

Organic single-component ferroelectrics with low molecular mass have drawn great attention for application in organic electronics. However, the discovery of high-T c single-component organic ferroelectrics has been very scarce. Herein, we report a pair of homochiral single-component organic ferroelectrics (R)-10-camphorsulfonylimine and (S)-10-camphorsulfonylimine under the guidance of ferroelectric chiral chemistry. They crystallize in the chiral-polar space group P21, and their mirror image relations have been identified using vibrational circular dichroism spectra. They both exhibit 422F2 multiaxial ferroelectricity with T c as high as 429 K. Besides, they possess superior acoustic impedance characteristics with a value of 2.45 × 106 kg s-1 m-2, lower than that of PVDF. To our knowledge, enantiomeric (R and S)-10-camphorsulfonylimine show the highest T c among the known organic single-component ferroelectrics and low acoustic impedance well matching with that of bodily tissues. This work promotes the development of high-performance organic single-component ferroelectrics and is of great inspiration to explore their application in next-generation flexible smart devices.

RESUMO

A three-dimensional cyano-bridged double perovskite ferroelastic [(CH3)3NCH2F]2[KFe(CN)6] was constructed by introducing unprecedented switchable C-F-K coordination bonds. H/F substitution not only preserves the basic structure of the parent [(CH3)4N]2[KFe(CN)6] but also affords an m3̄mF2/m-type ferroelastic phase transition.

RESUMO

A ferroelectric/ferroelastic is a material whose spontaneous polarization/strain can be switched by applying an external electric field/mechanical stress. However, the optical control of spontaneous polarization/strain remains relatively unexplored in crystalline materials, although photoirradiation stands out as a nondestructive, noncontact, and remote-controlled stimulus beyond stress or electric field. Here, we present two new organic single-component homochiral photochromic multiferroics, (R)- and (S)-N-3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene-1-4-bromophenylethylamine (SA-Ph-Br(R) and SA-Ph-Br(S)), which show a full ferroelectric/ferroelastic phase transition of 222F2 type at 336 K. Under photoirradiation, their spontaneous polarization/strain can be switched quickly within seconds and reversibly between two ferroelectric/ferroelastic phases with the respective enol and trans-keto forms triggered by structural photoisomerizations. In addition, they possess a superior acoustic impedance characteristic with a value of ∼2.42 × 106 kg·s-1·m-2, lower than that of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF, (3.69-4.25) × 106 kg·s-1·m-2), which can better match human tissues. This work realizes for the first time that multiple ferroic orders in single-component organic crystals with ultralow acoustic impedance can be simultaneously controlled and coupled by three physical channels (electric, stress, light fields), suggesting their great potential in multichannel data storage, optoelectronics, and related applications compatible with all-organic electronics and human tissues.
