However, the application of carbonaceous materials in PIB anodes is hindered by sluggish kinetics and large volume expansion. Herein, N/S co-doped carbon nanocapsule (NSCN) is constructed for superior K+ storage. The NSCN possesses 3D nanocapsule framework with abundant meso/macropores, which guarantees structural robustness and accelerates ions/electrons transportation. The high-level N/S co-doping in carbon matrix not only generates ample defects and active sites for K+ adsorption, but also expands interlayer distance for facile K+ intercalation/deintercalation. As a result, the NSCN electrode delivers a high reversible capacity (408 mAh g−1 at 0.05 A g−1), outstanding rate capability (149 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1) and favorable cycle stability (150m Ah g−1 at 2 A g−1 after 2000 cycles). Ex situ TEM, Raman and XPS measurements demonstrate the excellent stability and reversibility of NSCN electrode during potassiation/depotassiation process. This work provides inspiration for the optimization of energy storage materials by structure and doping engineering.展开更多

摘要Doping engineering is an effective strategy for graphitic carbon nitride(g-C3N4)to improve its photocat-alytic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)performance.In this work,a novel nitrogen and sulfur co-doped g-C3N4(N,S-g-C3N4)is elaborately designed on the basis of theoretical predictions of first-principle density functional theory(DFT).The calculated Gibbs free energy of adsorbed hydrogen(ΔGH∗)for N,S-g-C3N4 at the N-doping active sites is extremely close to zero(0.01 eV).Inspired by the theoretical predictions,the N,S-g-C3N4 is successfully fabricated through ammonia-rich pyrolysis synthesis strategy,in which ammonia is in-situ obtained by pyrolyzing melamine.Subsequent characterizations indicate that the N,S-g-C3N4 possesses high specific surface area,outstanding light utilization,good hydrophilicity,and efficient carrier transfer efficiency.Consequently,the N,S-g-C3N4 displays an extremely high H2 evolution rate of 8269.9μmol g−1 h−1,achieves an apparent quantum efficiency(AQE)of 3.24%,and also possesses outsatnding durability.Theoretical calculations further demonstrate that N and S dopants can not only introduce doping energy level to reduce the band gap,but also induce charge redistribution to facilitate hydrogen adsorption,thus promoting the photocatalytic HER process.Moreover,femtosecond transient absorption(fs-TA)spectroscopy further corroborates the efficient photogenerated carrier transport of N,S-g-C3N4.This research highlights a promising and reliable strategy to achieve superior photocatalytic activity,and exhibits significant guidance for precise designing high-efficiency photocatalysts.

摘要BACKGROUND Patients with major depressive disorder(MDD)commonly exhibit widespread cognitive impairments.Music,as a complex auditory stimulus with relatively high ecological validity,can be utilized to investigate brain information processing mechanisms.Event-related potentials(ERPs)are well-suited for capturing the temporal dynamics of neural processing across successive cognitive stages.However,the number of systematic ERPs studies examining multi-stage musical information processing in MDD patients remains relatively limited.AIM To elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying musical emotion processing deficits in MDD using a multi-stage ERPs framework,and to explore potential neurobiological markers associated with cognitive impairment.METHODS Thirty MDD patients(Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition diagnosis,24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale≥20)and twentynine demographically matched healthy controls(HCs)completed a category judgment task with neutral,negative,and positive musical stimuli(4-7 seconds each).Electroencephalogram was recorded using a 64-channel system,and core ERPs components(N100,P200,P300)from the left prefrontal,right prefrontal,and central regions were analyzed.Behavioral(accuracy,reaction time)and ERPs data were examined via repeated-measures ANOVA.RESULTS Behaviorally,MDD patients showed significantly lower overall accuracy(P=0.008)and longer reaction times(P=0.014)than HC.Both groups responded faster to positive music than neutral and negative music(P<0.001).Neurophysiologically,significant“group×emotional condition”or“group×region”interactions emerged for N100(button response:P=0.007),P200(onset:P=0.012),and P300(onset:P=0.008).Key neural features of MDD included enhanced central N100 amplitude,failure to differentiate neutral from negative music at the P200 stage,and absent stimulus type-related modulation of P300,contrasting with HCs’differentiated neural responses.Behaviorally,MDD patients showed significantly lower overall accuracy(P=0.008)and longer reaction times(P=0.014)than HC.Both groups responded faster to positive music than neutral and negative music(P<0.001).Neurophysiologically,significant“group×emotional condition”or“group×region”interactions emerged for N100(button response:P=0.007),P200(onset:P=0.012),and P300(onset:P=0.008).Key neural features of MDD included enhanced central N100 amplitude,failure to differentiate neutral from negative music at the P200 stage,and absent stimulus type-related modulation of P300,contrasting with HCs’differentiated neural responses.CONCLUSION MDD patients exhibit multi-stage neural functional abnormalities in musical emotional processing.ERPs abnormalities reflect deficits in early sensory-attentional allocation(N100),stimulus feature discrimination(P200),and late cognitive evaluation(P300).These stage-specific ERPs profiles can serve as potential neurobiological markers for cognitive impairments in MDD,highlighting the utility of musical paradigms in unraveling the brain functional mechanisms of depression.

摘要Oxygen-dependent electrodynamic therapy is hindered by electron–hole recombination and hypoxia.This study provides a heterojunction-induced Jahn–Teller distortion-enhanced spin-engineering Fe3O4–Ag2S nano-platform to address these limitations.The large interfacial lattice mismatch induces previously unrecognized Jahn–Teller distortions on high-spin Fe sites,modifying d-orbital splitting and enhancing spin-polarized catalytic activity.This lattice–spin–carrier coupling synergistically amplifies catalase-,peroxidase-,and glutathioneox-like pathways.Under near-infrared irradiation,the photothermal effect of Fe3O4activates the thermoelectric response of Ag2S and drives continuous hot-carrier injection.Thermoelectric fields drive hot holes to boost catalase activity through Jahn–Teller effect-enhanced spin catalysis sites and drive hot electrons to convert O2–to cytotoxic O2–.1O2under the Jahn–Teller distortion,promoting and forming a self-amplifying catalytic loop.Fine structure characterization and density functional theory calculations collectively verify strain-driven Fe–O bond differentiation and spin-state reconfiguration.The heterojunction achieves potent thermoelectric–enzyme co-catalysis with 95%tumor inhibition under near-infrared irradiation and supports dual-mode imaging.This work establishes a framework for designing high-performance photothermal–thermoelectric catalysts through crystal field/spin-state modulation in p–n heterojunctions,synergistically boosting multi-enzyme activity and catalytic efficiency for hypoxia-resistant therapy.

摘要For rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries(ZIBs),the design of nanocomposites comprised of electrochemically active materials and carbon materials with novel structures has great prom-ise in addressing the issue of electrical conductivity and structural stability in the electrode materials during electrochemical cycling.We report the production of a novel flexible electrode material,by anchoring MnO2 nanosheets on a B,N co-doped carbon nanotube ar-ray(BNCNTs)grown on carbon cloth(BNCNTs@MnO2),which was fabricated by in-situ pyrolysis and hydrothermal growth.The generated BNCNTs were strongly bonded to the surface of the car-bon fibers in the carbon cloth which provides both excellent elec-tron transport and ion diffusion,and improves the stability and dur-ability of the cathode.Importantly,the BNCNTs offer more active sites for the hydrothermal growth of MnO2,ensuring a uniform dis-tribution.Electrochemical tests show that BNCNTs@MnO2 delivers a high specific capacity of 310.7 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1,along with excellent rate capability and outstanding cycling stability,with a 79.7% capacity retention after 8000 cycles at 3 A g−1.

摘要Layered nitrogen(N)application to wheat is intended to avert nutrient retention in the topsoil,which limits deep root development and grain yield.In a two-year field experiment on the Loess Plateau comparing two N treatments:240 kg N ha-1applied at the 8-cm soil depth or in a 1:2:1 ratio to the 8-,16-,and 24-cm soil layers,the layered treatment increased grain yield,post-anthesis N accumulation,phosphorus(P)accumulation,root biomass,and soil organic carbon and available P in the 8-24 cm layers.It also upregulated N and P transporter genes in roots across different soil layers.Layered N application optimized the vertical nutrient distribution in the wheat root zone,induced adaptive root architectural development,and activated the transcriptional regulatory network of nutrient uptake,which peomoted post-anthesis nutrient assimilation and ultimately improving grain yield.

摘要Oligomeric amyloid-beta deposition within neurons and its associated neurotoxicity are among the most direct indicators of the onset of Alzheimer's disease.Investigations into strategies aimed at reducing amyloid-beta accumulation or promoting its clearance in neurons are currently being carried out.Lycium barbarum glycopeptide is rich in biologically active compounds and possesses antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,and neuroprotective properties.This study verified that the oligomer amyloid-beta1-42 induced toxic effects in mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells,resulting in elevated levels of reactive oxygen species and increased expression of the inflammatory enzyme inducible nitric oxide synthase.Lycium barbarum glycopeptide counteracted these effects by alleviating cell damage,enhancing cell viability,reducing the levels of reactive oxygen species and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression,and up-regulating the m RNA levels of antioxidant enzymes,including superoxide dismutase 1,superoxide dismutase 2,and glutathione peroxidase 4.Lycium barbarum glycopeptide also activated the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt/p70S6K signaling pathway and promoted the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor,thus exerting neuroprotective effects.These findings indicate that Lycium barbarum glycopeptide may be a promising candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

摘要A novel hydrangea-like boron and nitrogen co-doped carbon material synthesised by the cross-linking reaction of spiny spherical polymers and co-doped with boron and nitrogen(B/N)via high-temperature calcination was used to construct an electrochemical sensor for the detection of aristolochic acid.Under optimal conditions,the sensor showed good electrochemical response to aristolochic acid,with a theoretical detection limit of 47.3 nmol/L and the sensitivity reaching 0.31μA Lμmol-1cm-2.Moreover,the sensor was successfully applied to the detection of aristolochic acid in the extracts of Chinese herbal medicine samples,and the detection results were consistent with those of high-performance liquid chromatography.With a strong selectivity for substances to be measured in complex environments,this study provides a new and efficient method by which to detect aristolochic acid in Chinese herbal medicine,which greatly expands the application field of B/N heteroatom-doped carbon materials.

摘要Carbonaceous materials have drawn much attention in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to their low price and superior physicochemical properties. However, the application of carbonaceous materials in PIB anodes is hindered by sluggish kinetics and large volume expansion. Herein, N/S co-doped carbon nanocapsule (NSCN) is constructed for superior K+ storage. The NSCN possesses 3D nanocapsule framework with abundant meso/macropores, which guarantees structural robustness and accelerates ions/electrons transportation. The high-level N/S co-doping in carbon matrix not only generates ample defects and active sites for K+ adsorption, but also expands interlayer distance for facile K+ intercalation/deintercalation. As a result, the NSCN electrode delivers a high reversible capacity (408 mAh g−1 at 0.05 A g−1), outstanding rate capability (149 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1) and favorable cycle stability (150m Ah g−1 at 2 A g−1 after 2000 cycles). Ex situ TEM, Raman and XPS measurements demonstrate the excellent stability and reversibility of NSCN electrode during potassiation/depotassiation process. This work provides inspiration for the optimization of energy storage materials by structure and doping engineering.

摘要Cytochrome P450 CYP3A(CYP3A)is among the most abundant hepatic cytochrome P450 subfamilies and also mediates the metabolism and toxicity of xenobiotics.Previous studies have reported that CYP3A is also expressed in the testis;however,its role and molecular mechanism in mediating male reproductive damage remain unclear.In this study,through in vitro and in vivo experiments,we demonstrated the role of CYP3A in 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether(BDE47)-induced reproductive toxicity.The results showed that BDE47 induced CYP3A expression in mouse testes,leading to oxidative stress and ferroptosis through excessive reactive oxygen species(ROS)and ferrous iron(Fe2+)overload,which was demonstrated by CYP3A overexpression or knockdown experiments in GC-2 cells.Mechanistically,in addition to direct ROS generation during metabolic processing,ferritinophagy contributed to intracellular Fe2+accumulation.Specifically,BDE47-induced ROS was associated with reduced N6-methyladenosine(m6A)modification of Atg12 mRNA and increased autophagyrelated(ATG12)expression,thereby promoting ferritin heavy chain 1(FTH1)degradation and subsequent Fe2+overload.These results were further validated by experiments using hydrogen peroxide or antioxidants in GC-2cells,as well as by Atg12 haploinsufficiency in mice.Our findings demonstrate that CYP3A plays a critical role in male reproductive toxicity induced by BDE47.

摘要Nitrogen(N)and phosphorus(P)are two important nutrients for the understanding and management of lake eutrophication.The species partitioning of these nutrients plays an important role in regulating their bioavailability.Previous studies have mainly focused on dissolved phases of N and P.However,recent studies have noticed that active transformation of particulate N and P may also affect nutrient cycling.In this study,we chose a typically eutrophic lake,Chaohu,and systematically sampled water samples from 14 sites involving the whole lake,and typical inflow as well as outflow rivers over a 12-month period from 2023 to 2024.Our analytical results showed that particulate N and P were the predominant phases throughout the year(mean 26%and 42%),with large seasonal and temporal variations in both particulate and dissolved forms.Further statistical and microscopic observations revealed high partition coefficient values(lgKd(P)of 2.34-5.83;lgKd(N)of 2.33-5.35)and a"particle concentration effect"on the partitioning of N and P between dissolved and particulate phases,attesting to the particulate reactivity(reactive potential of particles)in lake waters,especially for P,during the algae incubation stage.The active transformations between particulate and dissolved phases of N and P were mainly regulated by climate and water chemistry.Overall,our study emphasizes the critical roles of particulate phases in biogeochemical cycling of N and P in Lake Chaohu and advocates for more attention to monitoring the behavior of particulate N and P in future water quality management.
