摘要BACKGROUND China has the highest incidence of diabetes among all Asian countries,and environmental factors have a significant impact on the onset of diabetes.Lead is one of the important legacy environmental pollutants that disrupts endocrine function.Both lead and diabetes have damaging effects on the nervous system,while the gut microbiota is considered an important mediator of brain damage.AIM To determine the effects and underlying mechanisms of environmental lead exposure and diabetes on neural function.METHODS A mouse model of lead exposure and diabetes was used.Lead levels were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry,and blood glucose levels were assessed.Immunofluorescence was used to analyze brain damage in mice.The Morris water maze was used for evaluating neural function.Neurotransmitters including vanillylmandelic acid,5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid,3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid(DOPAC),and homovanillic acid(HVA)were quantified with high performance liquid chromatography.Proteomics analysis was conducted on hippocampal brain tissue,and gut microbiota analysis was performed on colonic fecal samples.PI3K and COX2 proteins were detected by Western blotting,and then glutathione(GSH)levels in brain tissue were measured.RESULTS Mice in the lead-exposure diabetic model exhibited significantly elevated lead and blood glucose levels,with the most severe neural damage observed.The neurotransmitters DOPAC and HVA were markedly increased.Proteomics revealed that differential proteins were primarily involved in neural and metabolic pathways.Correlation analysis between the top 20 gut microbiota and differential proteins identified Sutterella as the most associated gut microbe with proteins.The levels of COX2,PI3K,and GSH in the mouse brain provided preliminary validation of these findings.CONCLUSION The coexistence of lead exposure and diabetes has an interactive effect on neural damage.This interaction appears to affect the abundance of the gut microbe Sutterella,which,through inflammation,influences the expression of related differential proteins in the brain,ultimately resulting in neural damage.

摘要Lead(Pb)-zinc(Zn)slags contain large amounts of Pb,causing irreversible damage to the environment.Therefore,developing an effective strategy to extract Pb from Pb-Zn slags and convert them into a renewable high-value catalyst not only solves the energy crisis but also reduces environmental pollution.Herein,we present a viable strategy to recycle Pb and iron(Fe)from Pb-Zn slags for the fabrication of efficient methylammonium lead tri-iodide(r-MAPbI3)piezocatalysts with single-atom Fe-N4 sites.Intriguingly,atomically dispersed Fe sites from Pb-Zn slags,which coordinated with N in the neighboring four CH3NH3 to form the FeN4 configuration,were detected in the as-obtained r-MAPbI3 by synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy.The introduction of Fe single atoms amplified the polarization of MAPbI3 and upshifted the d-band center of MAPbI3.This not only enhanced the piezoelectric response of MAPbI3 but also promoted the proton transfer during the hydrogen evolution process.Due to the decoration of Fe single atoms,r-MAPbI3 showed a pronounced H2 yield of 322.4μmol g−1 h−1,which was 2.52 times that of MAPbI3 synthesized using commercially available reagents.This simple yet robust strategy to manufactureMAPbI3 piezocatalysts paves a novel way to the large-scale and value-added consumption of Pb-containing waste residues.

摘要Lead(Pb),a highly toxic heavy metal pollutant with a long biological half-life and environmental persistence,has posed serious threats to global health.However,efficient and safe detoxification methods for Pb poisoning remain lacking.In this study,Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 containing magnetosomes(M-AMB-1)and magnetosome-deficient AMB-1(NM-AMB-1)were selected to comparatively explore the detoxification efficacies of magnetotactic bacteria(MTB)against Pb(Ⅱ)and its related mechanisms.The results showed that both MAMB-1 and NM-AMB-1 could significantly detoxify Pb(Ⅱ)-induced cytotoxicity.When the OD565 of bacteria was1,M-AMB-1 and NM-AMB-1 increased the cell viability induced by Pb pretreatment for 6 h by 2.17 and 2.25-fold,respectively.Moreover,a series of biological endpoints including cell apoptosis,cell membrane damage,reactive oxygen species generation,and DNA damage confirmed the efficient antagonism of M-AMB-1 and NMAMB-1 against Pb(Ⅱ)-induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.Both types of AMB-1 antagonized the toxicity of Pb(Ⅱ)by enriching Pb(Ⅱ)and reducing the cellular Pb(Ⅱ)accumulation.Interestingly,the presence or absence of magnetosomes determined the distinct enrichment pathways of Pb(Ⅱ)in AMB-1:M-AMB-1 primarily mediated surface adsorption of Pb(Ⅱ),whereas massive Pb(Ⅱ)could be internalized into NM-AMB-1 approximately through the iron-transport system.The different Pb(Ⅱ)enrichment mechanisms probably resulted from the content of iron in bacteria,which competitively inhibited the further uptake of Pb(Ⅱ).This study innovatively revealed the mechanistic differences between M-AMB-1 and NM-AMB-1 in Pb(Ⅱ)enrichment.These findings might not only offer novel intervention strategies for Pb(Ⅱ)poisoning but also expand the application of MTB in the field of environmental health.

摘要Lead(Pb)exposure is a risk factor of male infertility,while the transcriptional and epigenetic changes associated with lead exposure in spermatozoa are poorly understood.Our previous findings revealed significant changes in DNA methylation of the calcium(Ca)homeostasis pathway of human spermatozoa in men with a blood Pb level over 5µg dl−1,which was associated with decreased sperm motility.In this study,we explored the effects of Pb exposure on expression of differentially methylated genes(DMGs)by analyzing semen samples from six healthy,non-smoking,and non-drinking men(aged 20–40 years).Using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing(MeDIP-seq)and RNA sequencing(RNA-seq),we compared DNA methylation and RNA abundance patterns between two groups:three men with blood Pb level 0–2.5µg dl−1 and three men with blood Pb level 5–10µg dl−1.Additionally,we experimentally validated the regulatory function of the differentially methylated regions associated with 11 hub genes using dual-luciferase reporter assays.We revealed differences in promoter activity between methylated and unmethylated promoter regions of seven cloned genes,namely calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 H(CACNA1H),calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 G(CACNA1G),calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 I(CACNA1I),calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II gamma(CAMK2G),ATPase sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca²+transporting 3(ATP2A3),solute carrier family 8 member A2(SLC8A2),and glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2D(GRIN2D).Our results of Pb exposure-induced expression changes of essential genes associated with the calcium signaling pathway,particularly CACNA1H,SLC8A2,and GRIN2D,in spermatozoa,may be a potential cause of low sperm quality.

摘要Cell membrane coating technology has recently emerged as a promising platform for drug activity assessment due to its unique biointerfacing capabilities.Nevertheless,its integration with conventional detection methods such as high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)and fluorescence probe analysis remains limited by poor specificity and low accuracy,primarily resulting from non-specific adsorption of non-target membrane receptors and interference from background signals.In this study,we presented a collaborative strategy that integrates aptamers with cell membrane coating technology to establish a novel electrochemiluminescence(ECL)-DNA biosensor platform for specifically detecting drug-target receptor interactions.High specificity was achieved through competitive binding between aptamers and drug candidates for membrane receptors,while high accuracy was ensured by employing an ECL detection system incorporating signal cascade amplification and three-dimensional(3D)DNA walkers,enabling reliable performance even with complex biological samples.Using this approach,we demonstrated a linear dynamic range of 1 nmol/L to 2μmol/L for the detection of desloratadine activity,with a limit of detection(LOD)of 0.16 nmol/L.Furthermore,the platform was successfully applied to evaluate the binding activity of eight drugs to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2),and their pharmacological activities were further characterized.Overall,this aptamer-cell membrane coating synergistic strategy offered excellent specificity and ultra-high sensitivity,making it a valuable tool for elucidating drug-receptor mechanisms of action and providing a robust reference for preclinical drug activity evaluation.

摘要The exploration and identification of spontaneous weed species in heavy metal–contaminated soils represent a relevant approach for understanding the role and their potential application in phytoremediation.In cacao cultivation,cadmium contamination poses a significant risk due to the restrictions established for soils and cacao-derived products,thereby threatening productive sustainability and export viability.The objective of this study was to identify weed species associated with cacao cultivation exhibiting accumulation patterns and phytoremediation potential for Cd and Pb,through the assessment of biomass production and the bioconcentration factor(BCF)and translocation factor(TF),in natural conditions.Soil samples were collected from seven cacao-growing zones,and the site with the highest Cd concentration(1.65 mg kg−1)was selected,where ten dominant weed species were identified and evaluated.Significant interspecific differences were observed in biomass production and in Cd and Pb concentrations(p<0.05).Talinum paniculatum exhibited the highest total biomass(6.15 g)and the highest TF for Cd,whereas Cyperus aggregatus showed the greatest total Cd accumulation(2.68 mg kg−1).BCF and TF values enabled the identification of species with accumulation patterns consistent with Cd phytoextraction(T.paniculatum,C.aggregatus,Pseudelephantopus spiralis,Bidens riparia,Euphorbia heterophylla,and Malvastrum coromandelianum)and with phytostabilization(Ocimum campechianum).For Pb the observed patterns were consistent with potential phytoextractive behavior in B.riparia,P.spiralis,E.heterophylla,Hilleria latifolia,and Acalypha stachyura.Although these results do not constitute functional evidence of remediation,they describe heavy metal accumulation and translocation patterns in native weed species,providing a technical basis for the design of future experimental trials aimed at the sustainable remediation of contaminated soils.

摘要As a critical channel for sea-air energy exchange,the precise detection of Arctic leads is essential for understanding the mechanism of climate change and ensuring the safety of Arctic navigation.In this study,we address the limitations of existing remote sensing products,such as insufficient spatial resolution,high sensitivity to cloud interference,and limited adaptability of detection methods by leveraging the visible and thermal infrared multispectral synergistic observation capability of China’s FY-3D/MERSI-Ⅱ.We introduce the visible channel of FY-3D/MERSI-Ⅱ,constructing a synergistic observation system with the thermal infrared channel to overcome the inherent limitations of single-channel observation,addressing cloud interference in Arctic lead detection by establishing a pixel credibility model,and propose an adaptive iterative fuzzy classification(AIFC)method to effectively surmount the technical bottleneck of poor adaptability of traditional threshold methods when applied to complex underlying surfaces.The results indicate that from April 1 to 30,2021,the proposed method effectively suppresses false alarms due to thin cloud cover through the incorporation of pixel credibility,thereby achieving a lower false detection rate than the Willmes lead product.The average probability of lead detection from this method reaches 0.912±0.041,which is 10.4%higher than that of the iterative threshold method,and the probability of background detection is increased to 0.987±0.035.In addition,the average precision rate reaches 0.872,and the F1-score reaches 0.913.The proposed method effectively identifies leads of varying scales across different Arctic regions,demonstrating that the combination of multispectral synergy and fuzzy classification significantly enhances the detection accuracy of Arctic leads.
摘要Background:Evidence on the joint effects of arsenic and lead exposure on pediatric hypotension is limited.The modifying roles of age,sex,and body weight in this association remain unclear.Methods:Using NHANES 2007-2018 data(2,043 adolescents aged 8-17y),we employed survey-weighted logistic regression(hypotension risk),weighted linear regression(blood pressure percentiles),and Weighted Quantile Sum regression(joint effects).Results:In weighted logistic regres-sion,Model 1(adjusted for age,sex,race)showed arsenic fourth quartile increased hypotension risk(OR=1.73,95%CI:1.132.64,P=0.01).After full adjustment(Model 2:Model 1+BMI,income,sodium,calories,household size),this risk remained significant(OR=1.63,95%CI:1.03-2.5,P=0.04)with a significant trend(P-trend=0.04).For lead,Model I fourth quartile risk(OR=1.66,95%CI:1.05-2.64,P=0.03)shifted to third quartile significance in Model 2(OR=1.54,95%CI:1.04-2.28,P=0.03).Linear regression revealed arsenic third quartile significantly reduced diastolic blood pressure percentile in both Model 1(β=6.20,95%CI:-10.92-1.47,P=0.01)and Model 2(β=5.75,95%CI:-10.41-1.09,P=0.02).The Weighted Quantile Sum(WQS)index showed consistent risk in the main model(OR=1.21,95%CI:1.03-1.42,P=0.02).Stratified analyses(Model 2 based)showed males had higher lead sensitivity Q2(OR=2.01,P=0.005),normal weight individuals had strongest associations lead Q4(OR=2.14,P=0.02):arsenic Q4(OR=2.04,P=0.02)and early puberty(11-13 years)exhibited peak lead risk Q3(OR=2.45,P=0.005).Conclusion:Arsenic and lead additively increase pediatric hypotension risk,with effects modified by sex,BMI,and pubertal stage.Normal-weight males in early puberty are the most vulnerable subgroup.

摘要Lead chalcohalides(PbYX,X=Cl,Br,I;Y=S,Se)is an extension of the classic Pb chalcogenides(PbY).Constructing the heterogeneous integration with PbYX and PbY material systems makes it possible to achieve significantly improved optoelectronic performance.In this work,we studied the effect of introducing halogen precursors on the structure of classical PbS nanocrystals(NCs)during the synthesis process and realized the preparation of PbS/Pb3S2X2 core/shell structure for the first time.The core/shell structure can effectively improve their optical properties.Furthermore,our approach enables the synthesis of Pb3S2Br2 that had not yet been reported.Our results not only provide valuable insights into the heterogeneous integration of PbYX and PbY materials to elevate material properties but also provide an effective method for further expanding the preparation of PbYX material systems.

摘要This paper presented a novel and environmentally friendly approach for recovering platinum group metals(PGMs)from spent automotive exhaust catalysts.The study employed lead slag and waste graphite electrodes as raw materials,incorporating CaO as an additive to fine-tune the slag's viscosity and density.By reducing FeO in the lead slag using waste graphite electrodes,pure Fe was obtained,effectively trapping the PGMs from the exhausted catalysts.The study explored the effects of reductant addition,trapping duration,slag basicity,and trapping temperature on the recovery rate of PGMs.The results indicated that a maximum recovery rate of 97.86%was achieved when the reductant was added at 1.5 times the theoretical amount,with a trapping duration of 60 minutes,a slag basicity of 0.7,and a trapping temperature of 1600℃.This research offered a greener pathway for the recovery of PGMs from spent automotive exhaust catalysts.

摘要This study investigates the pharmacokinetics and metabolic characteristics of three marinederived piericidins as potential drug leads for kidney disease:piericidin A(PA)and its two glycosides(GPAs),glucopiericidin A(GPA)and 13-hydroxyglucopiericidin A(13-OH-GPA).The research aims to facilitate lead selection and optimization for developing a viable preclinical candidate.Rapid absorption of PA and GPAs in mice was observed,characterized by short half-lives and low bioavailability.Glycosides and hydroxyl groups significantly enhanced the absorption rate(13-OH-GPA>GPA>PA).PA and GPAs exhibited metabolic instability in liver microsomes due to Cytochrome P450 enzymes(CYPs)and uridine diphosphoglucuronosyl transferases(UGTs).Glucuronidation emerged as the primary metabolic pathway,with UGT1A7,UGT1A8,UGT1A9,and UGT1A10 demonstrating high elimination rates(30%-70%)for PA and GPAs.This rapid glucuronidation may contribute to the low bioavailability of GPAs.Despite its low bioavailability(2.69%),13-OH-GPA showed higher kidney distribution(19.8%)compared to PA(10.0%)and GPA(7.3%),suggesting enhanced biological efficacy in kidney diseases.Modifying the C-13 hydroxyl group appears to be a promising approach to improve bioavailability.In conclusion,this study provides valuable metabolic insights for the development and optimization of marine-derived piericidins as potential drug leads for kidney disease.

摘要Geogas survey is an unconventional geochemical prospecting method that has proven particularly effective in exploring concealed ore deposits.However,its application in covered areas has been questioned due to the lack of a confirmed geogas formation mechanism.Investigating the sources of geogas anomalies can help clarify this mechanism.This study focuses on the Bairendaba silver-polymetallic deposit,located in a grassland-covered area.Tracer research was conducted on lead isotope compositions in the mining area by analyzing various solid media(soil,rocks,ores)and geogas samples.The results revealed considerable differences in lead isotope compositions between background geogas samples and solid media.Furthermore,the lead isotope compositions of anomalous geogas samples differed markedly from those of background samples.These anomalous samples are located closer to the ore body,suggesting that ore-derived lead is incorporated into the geogas.The anomalous lead in geogas is inferred to originate from deep,concealed ore bodies.This study provides a theoretical basis for applying geogas surveys in mineral exploration within covered terrains.
