RESUMO

The single-step purification of ethylene (C2H4) from a mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2), acetylene (C2H2), ethylene (C2H4), and ethane (C2H6) was achieved through MOF Compound-1, where the aromatic pore surface and carboxylates selectively recognized C2H6 and CO2, respectively, resulting in a reversal of the adsorption orders for both gases (C2H6 > C2H4 and CO2 > C2H4). Breakthrough testing verified that the C2H4 purification ability could be enhanced 2.6 times after adding impure CO2. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations demonstrate that there are interactions between CO2 and C2H6 molecules as well as between CO2 molecules themselves. These interactions contribute to the enhancement of the C2H4 purification ability upon the addition of CO2 and the increased adsorption of CO2.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) combined with hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is an important cause of various fatal comorbidities of RA. There is no precise conclusion about the cause of this disease. METHODS: Peripheral blood and synovial tissue were collected from healthy participants, patients with RA, and patients with both RA and HT. Immunofluorescence staining and Pearson correlation analysis were used to detect the levels of γδTCR and the correlation between IL-17 and p-STAT3, respectively. ELISA, chemiluminescence assays, qRT-PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the levels of IgG, IgM, IFN-γ, IL-1ß, TNF-α, Tg-Ab, Tpo-Ab, IL-17, IL-2, p-SATA3, and STAT3, respectively. RESULTS: There was increased proportion of γδT cells, IL-17, and p-STAT3 levels in RA and HT patients. IL-17 was positively correlated with p-STAT3. γδT cells significantly promoted the expression of IgG, Tg-Ab, Tpo-Ab, and IL-17. When γδT and human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) were co-cultured, the levels of IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-1ß, TNF-α, and IL-17 were increased, and the IL-17/STAT3 signaling pathway was activated. When IL-17-silenced γδT cells and STAT3-silenced FLSs were co-cultured, the levels of IL-1ß and TNF-α in FLSs were significantly decreased. Furthermore, when STAT3-silenced FLSs were added to the co-culture medium of B cells and γδT cells, the levels of IL-1ß and TNF-α were also decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: γδT cells induced RA directly or by stimulating B cells to activate STAT3 through IL-17.

RESUMO

In transportation, roads sometimes have cracks due to overloading and other reasons, which seriously affect driving safety, and it is crucial to identify and fill road cracks in time. Aiming at the defects of existing semantic segmentation models that have degraded the segmentation performance of road crack images and the standard convolution makes it challenging to capture the spatial and channel coupling relationship between pixels. It is difficult to differentiate crack pixels from background pixels in complex backgrounds; this paper proposes a semantic segmentation model for road cracks that combines channel-spatial convolution with the aggregation of frequency features. A new convolutional block is proposed to accurately identify cracked pixels by grouping spatial displacements and convolutional kernel weight dynamization while modeling pixel spatial relationships linked to channel features. To enhance the contrast of crack edges, a frequency domain feature aggregation module is proposed, which uses a simple windowing strategy to solve the problem of mismatch of frequency domain inputs and, at the same time, takes into account the effect of the frequency imaginary part on the features to model the deep frequency features effectively. Finally, a feature refinement module is designed to refine the semantic features to improve the segmentation accuracy. Many experiments have proved that the model proposed in this paper has better performance and more application potential than the current popular general model.

RESUMO

An interpenetrated indium(III) metal-organic framework (MOF), NTUniv-73, with a rarely reported tetrameric indium cluster is developed for streamlining ethylene purification from C2 gases. At 298 K, the adsorption capacities exhibited a complete reversal sequence of C2H6 > C2H2 > C2H4. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation indicated that the corners in a octahedral cage facilitated the C2H2/C2H4 separation, while the pocket-like aperture situated between adjacent octahedral cages allows for full contact of C2H6. Breakthrough experiments illustrated that NTUniv-73 could yield pure C2H4 in a single step with a productivity of 0.42 mmol g-1.

RESUMO

To investigate the potential molecular mechanism of miR-34a in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the salivary gland tissues of mild and severe SS patients. SS mouse model was constructed and injected with miR-34a antagonist. HSGE cells were transfected with miR-34a mimic. Starbase predicted miR-34a binding sites and validated them with dual-luciferase reporter assays. Immunohistochemistry, HE staining, CCK-8, TUNEL assay, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and Western Blot were used to investigate the effects of miR-34a on NF-κB signaling and mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis in HSGE cells. Severe SS patients showed obvious mitochondrial damage and apoptosis in salivary glands. MiR-34a was overexpressed and NF-κB signaling is activated in salivary glands of severe SS patients. Inhibition of miR-34a alleviated salivary gland injury in SS mice, as well as inhibited the activation of NF-κB signaling and mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. In conclusion, miR-34a promoted NF-κB signaling by targeting IκBα, thereby causing mitochondrial pathway apoptosis and aggravating SS-induced salivary gland damage.

RESUMO

Persister cells are transiently tolerant to antibiotics and are associated with recalcitrant chronic infections due to recolonization of host cells after antibiotic removal. Brucella spp. are facultative pathogens that establish intracellular infection cycles in host cells which results in chronic persistent infections. Brucella abortus forms multi-drug persister cells which are promoted by the (p)ppGpp synthetase Rsh during rifampicin exposure. Here, we confirmed that Rsh promoted persister cells formation in B. abortus stationary phase treated with rifampicin and enrofloxacin. Deletion of the gene for Rsh decreased persister cells level in the presence of these drugs in different growth phases. However, persister cells formation by deletion strain varied in different growth phases in the presence of other antibiotics. Rsh also was involved in persister cells formation during rifampicin treatment under certain stress conditions, including acidic conditions, exposure to PBS, and heat stress. Moreover, Rsh impacted persister cell levels during rifampicin or enrofloxacin treatment in RAW264.7 macrophages. Certain typeIItoxin-antitoxin modules were upregulated under various stress conditions in B. abortus. We established that Rsh positively regulated the type II toxin-antitoxin mbcTA. Moreover, rifampicin-tolerant persister cells formation was elevated and ATP levels were decreased when mbcTA promoter was overexpressed in Rsh deletion background in stationary phase. Our results establish that (p)ppGpp synthetase Rsh plays a key role in B. abortus persistence and may serve as a potent novel target in combination with rifampicin in the development of new therapeutic approaches and prevention strategies to treat chronic infections of Brucella.

RESUMO

The extraction of 99TcO4- from radioactive effluents is extremely crucial for the purposes of nuclear disposal and environmental remediation. Herein, utilizing a facile and low-cost synthesis method, we report a pyridinium-based cationic polymer network, CPP-Cl, with impressive adsorption performance and ultrafast adsorption kinetics towards ReO4-. The structure featuring highly density of charged pyridinium units was synthesized, making it an effective adsorbent for capturing ReO4-. The material showed fast ReO4- adsorption kinetics reaching adsorption equilibrium within 30 s, an excellent capture capability of 1069.7 mg/g, and exceptional separation efficiency of 94.3% for removing 1000 ppm ReO4-. Furthermore, it possessed excellent reusability in multiple sorption/desorption trials and good uptake capacity within a widely ranging pH values. It is noteworthy that the extraction efficiency of CPP-Cl for ReO4- from simulated nuclear waste can be up to 94.2%. The favorable performance of the material in multiple tests revealed that CPP-Cl has tremendous potential as a high-efficiency sorbent for capturing 99TcO4-/ReO4- in complex nuclear associated environmental systems.

RESUMO

Metal-anchored covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a class of significant derivatives of COFs, are widely used as heterogeneous catalysts in diverse chemical reactions. However, they are typically synthesized via post-treatment strategies, which often lead to the decline of COF crystallinity, decrease of porous properties, instability in catalytic performances, generation of additional chemical waste, and consumption of excess time and energy. In this work, we demonstrate an approach to construct a metal-functionalized COF via a one-pot method induced by γ-ray radiation. Specifically, copper-coordinated COF was in situ synthesized by irradiating a mixture of monomers and copper salt under ambient conditions. Interestingly, the initial Cu2+ ions were reduced to Cu+ ions by the radiation-generated reducing species, affording a unique mixed-valent copper(I/II)-coordinated COF. Additionally, the copper-coordinated COF displayed enhanced crystallinity and porous properties compared to those of the parent COF, displaying an opposite trend to the postsynthetic method. Notably, the introduced copper on the COF skeleton endowed the parent COF with catalytic ability. The resulting copper-coordinated COF exhibited remarkable catalytic performances in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol and maintained almost unchanged catalytic performance after five catalytic cycles.

RESUMO

In this study, we have successfully designed and synthesized two novel dual-emission emitters featuring phenothiazine-5-oxide and phenothiazine-5,5-dioxide motifs, characterized by highly lopsided and asymmetric conformational states. Through rigorous spectral examinations and DFT calculations, the compounds exhibit distinctive ICT phenomena, coupled with efficient emission in solid states and AIEE characteristics under high water fractions in DMF/H2O mixtures. These non-planar luminogens exhibit vibrant green and blue solid-state luminescence, with fluorescence quantum yields of 24.1 % and 15.21 %, respectively. Additionally, they both emit green fluorescence in THF solution, with notable emission quantum yields (QYs) 36.4 % and 30.4 %. Comprehensive theoretical investigations unveil well-defined electron cloud density separation between the energies of HOMO/LUMO levels within the two luminogens. Notably, the targeted molecule harboring the phenothiazine-S,S-dioxide motif also demonstrates remarkable reversible mechanofluorochromic properties. Moreover, we testify their potential in applications such as solid-state rewritable information storage and live-cell imaging in solution states. Through theoretical calculations and comparative studies, we have explored the intrinsic relationship between molecular structure and performance, effectively screening and identifying new fluorescent molecules exhibiting outstanding luminescent attributes. These discoveries establish a robust theoretical and technical foundation for the synthesis and application of efficient DSE-based MFC materials, opening new avenues in the realm of advanced luminescent materials.

RESUMO

A mononuclear four-coordinate Co(II) complex with a [CoIIO4] core, namely, PPN[Li(MeOH)4][Co(L)2] (1) (PPN = bis(phosphoranediyl)iminium; H2L = perfluoropinacol), has been studied by X-ray crystallography, magnetic characterization, and theoretical calculations. This complex presents a severely distorted coordination geometry. The O-Co-O bite angle is 83.42°/83.65°, and the dihedral twist angle between the O-Co-O chelate planes is 55.6°. The structural distortion results in a large easy-axis magnetic anisotropy with D = -104(1) cm-1 and a transverse component with |E| = +4(2) cm-1. Alternating current (ac) susceptibility measurements demonstrate that 1 exhibits slow relaxation of magnetization at zero static field. However, the frequency-dependent out-of-phase (χ"M) susceptibilities of 1 at 0 Oe do not show a characteristic maximum. Upon the application of a dc field or the dilution with a diamagnetic Zn matrix, the quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM) process can be successfully suppressed. Notably, after dilution with the Zn matrix, the obtained sample exhibits a structure different from that of the pristine complex. In this altered sample, the asymmetric unit does not contain the Li(MeOH)4+ cation, resulting in an O-Co-O bite angle of 86.05° and a dihedral twist angle of 75.84°, thereby leading to an approximate D2d symmetry. Although such differences are not desirable for magnetic studies, this study still gives some insights. Theoretical calculations reveal that the D parameter is governed by the O-Co-O bite angle, in line with our previous report for other tetrahedral Co(II) complex with a [CoIIN4] core. On the other hand, the rhombic component is found to increase as the dihedral angle deviates from 90°. These findings provide valuable guidelines for fine-tuning the magnetic properties of Co(II) complexes.

RESUMO

Metal-organic framework (MOF) based heterostructures, which exhibit enhanced or unexpected functionality and properties due to synergistic effects, are typically synthesized using post-synthetic strategies. However, several reported post-synthetic strategies remain unsatisfactory, considering issues such as damage to the crystallinity of MOFs, presence of impure phases, and high time and energy consumption. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time a novel route for constructing MOF based heterostructures using radiation-induced post-synthesis, highlighting the merits of convenience, ambient conditions, large-scale production, and notable time and energy saving. Specifically, a new HKUST-1@Cu2O heterostructure was successfully synthesized by simply irradiating a methanol solution dispersed of HKUST-1 with gamma ray under ambient conditions. The copper source of Cu2O was directly derived from in situ radiation etching and reduction of the parent HKUST-1, without the use of any additional copper reagents. Significantly, the resulting HKUST-1@Cu2O heterostructure exhibits remarkable catalytic performance, with a catalytic rate constant nearly two orders of magnitude higher than that of the parent HKUST-1.

RESUMO

As a critical radioactive anionic contaminant, traditional adsorbents primarily remove iodate (IO3 -) through ion exchange or hard acid-hard base interactions, but suffer from limited affinity and capacity. Herein, employing the synergistic effect of ion exchange and redox, we successfully synthesized a redox-active cationic polymer network (SCU-CPN-6, [C9H10O2N5 ⋅ Cl]n) by merging guanidino groups with ion-exchange capability and phenolic groups with redox ability via a Schiff base reaction. SCU-CPN-6 exhibits a groundbreaking adsorption capacity of 896 mg/g for IO3 -. The inferior adsorption capacities of polymeric networks containing only redox (~0 mg/g) or ion exchange (232 mg/g) fragments underscore the synergistic "1+1>2" effect of the two mechanisms. Besides, SCU-CPN-6 shows excellent uptake selectivity for IO3 - in the presence of high concentrations of SO4 2-, Cl-, and NO3 -. Meanwhile, a high distribution coefficient indicates its exemplary deep-removal performance for low IO3 - concentration. The synergic strategy not only presents a breakthrough solution for the efficient removal of IO3 - but also establishes a promising avenue for the design of advanced adsorbents for diverse applications.

RESUMO

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has the ability to invade human cortical bones and cause intracellular infections in osteoblasts, which may lead to a long-term infection that is difficult to eliminate. It is critical to identify the underlying mechanisms of the osteoblast response to the intracellular S. aureus. More recently, multiple circular RNA (circRNA) functions have been identified, including serving as protein scaffolds or miRNA sponges and being translated into polypeptides. The role that circRNAs play in intracellular S. aureus infection of osteoblasts has not, to our knowledge, been investigated. Here, we established an intracellular infection model of S. aureus in osteoblasts and compared the circRNA expression of osteoblasts between the infected and control groups using RNA sequencing technology, by which a significant difference was found. In total, 117 upregulated and 125 down-regulated differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) were identified, and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was employed to validate the results of RNA sequencing. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses demonstrated that DEcircRNAs were enriched in processes associated with macromolecule modification, cellular component organization or biogenesis, and intracellular non-membrane-bound organelles. Finally, a potentially important network of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA based on the DEcircRNAs was constructed. Overall, this study revealed the circRNA expression profile of human osteoblasts infected by intracellular S. aureus for the first time, and identified the circRNAs that may contribute to the pathogenesis of infectious diseases caused by intracellular S. aureus infection in human osteoblasts.

RESUMO

The strategy of flow channel with wrinkles and calcium sites for single-step C2H4 purification from C2 gases and methanol-to-olefins (MTO) products separation was realized in FJI-Y9. The adsorption amounts showed a total reversal order of C3H6 > C2H6 > C2H2 > C2H4 at 298 K. Modeling indicated that the wrinkles and Ca2+ facilitated the full contact of C3H6 and C2H6. Breakthrough experiments illustrated that FJI-Y9 could yield pure C2H4 in a single step with a productivity of 0.78 mmol g-1. In a lone adsorption/desorption cycle for MTO product separation, the productivities of C3H6 and C2H4 were 1.96 and 1.29 mol g-1, standing as the highest recorded values.

RESUMO

Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D COFs), featuring a large surface area and 1D pore structure, serve as promising scaffolds for anchoring functional guest compounds, which can significantly enhance their performance and thus expand their potential applications. Postsynthetic strategy for COFs functionalization is versatile but challenging because of their tedious procedure with high time and energy consumption, generation of excess reaction waste, and damage to COF crystallinity. We report in this work a general strategy for the synthesis of inorganic nanocompound-functionalized COF composites in a one-pot way. Specifically, a high-crystallinity nanoscale molybdenum compound is successfully introduced into a COF skeleton with high dispersion in situ during the crystallization process of the COF induced by gamma ray radiation under ambient conditions. The obtained COF@Mo composites exhibit remarkable sorption performance for methylene blue and many other organic dyes in aqueous solution with the advantages of ultrarapid uptake dynamics and high removal efficiency.

RESUMO

Bergamot essential oil (BEO) is an extract of the bergamot fruit with significant neuroprotective effect. This study was to investigate the effects and the underlying mechanism of BEO in mitigating depression. GC-MS were used to identify its constituents. Antidepressive properties of BEO were evaluated by sucrose preference test (SPT), force swimming test (FST) and open field test (OFT). Nissl staining was used to determine the number of Nissl bodies in hippocampus (HIPP) of rats. Changes in HIPP dendritic length and dendritic spine density were detected by Golgi-Cox staining. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95) and synaptophysin (SYP) in the HIPP of rats. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) in the HIPP, serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of rats. Inhaled BEO significantly improved depressive behaviour in chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rats. BEO increased Nissl bodies, dendritic length and spine density, PSD-95 and SYP protein in the HIPP. Additionally, BEO upregulated serum 5-HT, serum and CSF IGF-1, while downregulating serum IL-1ß. Collectively, inhaled BEO mitigates depression by protecting the plasticity of hippocampal neurons, hence, providing novel insights into treatment of depression.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pinellia pedatisecta Schott extract (PE) is extracted from Pinellia pedatisecta Schott (PPS), a traditional Chinese medicinal plant with the potential for direct anticancer effects or eliciting an anti-tumor response by activating the immune system. PURPOSE: To explore PE's ability and mechanism to reconstruct cisplatin's immunogenicity. METHODS: Cervical cancer cells were treated with cisplatin (CDDP) and/or PE. The exposure of calreticulin (CRT) on cell membrane was investigated by flow cytometry. The extracellular of ATP and HMGB1 was investigated by Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence and ELISA assay. Changes in immune profiles were using flow cytometry in vaccination and anti-tumor assays in vivo. Lastly, the mechanism of PE influenced the ROS/ERS pathway was examined by ROS assay kit, flow cytometry and Western blotting. RESULTS: PE treatment induced translocation of CRT from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell membrane of tumor cells, concomitantly triggering immunogenic cell death (ICD). In terms of mechanisms, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress relievers could impede the ability of PE to induce immunogenicity. This indicates that PE is activated by ER stress, leading to subsequent induction of ICD. Upon analyzing RNA-seq data, it was observed that PE primarily induces programmed cell death in tumors by impeding upstream antioxidant mechanisms. Additionally, it transforms dying tumor cells into vaccines, activating a series of immune responses. CONCLUSIONS: This study observed for the first time that PE-induced CRT exposure on the membrane of cervical cancer cells compensates for the defect of nonimmunogenic cell death inducer CDDP thereby stimulating potent ICD. This ability restores the immunogenicity of CDDP through ER stress induced by the ROS signal. ROS played a role in PE's ability to induce ICD, leading to increased expression of ER stress-related proteins, including ATF3 and IRE-1α. PE exerted anti-cancer effects by increasing the ROS levels, and ROS/ERS signaling may be a potential avenue for cervical cancer treatment. Hence, the synergistic use of PE and CDDP holds potential for enhancing immunochemotherapy in cancer treatment.

RESUMO

The efficient separation of acetylene (C2H2) and ethylene (C2H4) is an important and complex process in the industry. Herein, we report a new family of lcy-topologic coordination frameworks (termed NTU-90 to NTU-92) with Cu3MF6 (M = Si, Ti, and Zr) nodes. These charged frameworks are compensated by different counterbalanced ions (MF62-, BF4-, and Cl-), yielding changes in the size of the window apertures. Among these frameworks, NTU-92-a (activated NTU-92) shows good adsorption selectivity of C2H2/C2H4 and also significant ability in recovering both highly pure C2H4 (99.95%) and C2H2 (99.98%). Our work not only presents a potential alternative for energy-saving purification of C2 hydrocarbons but also provides a new approach for tuning the function of charged porous materials.

RESUMO

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic neoplasm, and most patients experience recurrence and chemoresistance. Even the promising immunotherapy showed limited efficacy in ovarian cancer, probably due to the immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, the behind mechanisms of the immune exclusion or cold phenotype in ovarian cancer still remain to be explored. As a cancer dominated by copy number variations instead of mutations, ovarian cancer contains a high fraction of aneuploid, which might correlate with immune inhibition. Nevertheless, whether or how aneuploid affects ovarian cancer is still unclear. For exploring the role of aneuploid cancer cells and the potential ploidy-immune relationship, herein, the ploidy information was first comprehensively analyzed combining the karyotype data and copy number variation data obtained from Mitelman and cBioPortal databases, respectively. Ovarian cancer showed strong ploidy heterogeneity, with high fraction of aneuploid and recurrent arm-level and whole chromosome changes. Furthermore, clinical parameters were compared between the highly-aneuploid and the near-diploid ovarian cancers. Aneuploid indicated high grade, poor overall survival and poor disease-free survival in ovarian cancer. To understand the biofunction affected by aneuploid, the differentially expressed genes between the highly-aneuploid and the near-diploid groups were analyzed. Transcription data suggested that aneuploid cancer correlated with deregulated MHC expression, abnormal antigen presentation, and less infiltration of macrophages and activated T cells and higher level of T cell exclusion. Furthermore, the ploidy-MHC association was verified using the Human Protein Atlas database. All these data supported that aneuploid might be promising for cancer management and immune surveillance in ovarian cancer.
