This review examines the complex mechanisms through which THSWD influences critical pathways, including nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/serine-threonine kinase(AKT), Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4), mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK), and mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR), that play pivotal roles in AS pathogenesis. By synthesizing experimental evidence and existing literature, the review summarizes how THSWD and its bioactive constituents regulate these signaling cascades to ameliorate AS. Furthermore, it highlights the distinctive therapeutic advantages of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) compounds in managing chronic diseases driven by multi-target and multifactorial mechanisms. Analyzing disease targets from the perspective of signaling pathways enhances the scientific validation of clinical efficacy for such formulations, thereby offering novel insights for future research.展开更多

摘要Excessive lighting is integral to dentists’daily routines but can impair their vision,affecting personal and professional performance.Most studies focus on acute photodamage,neglecting chronic photo-injury from dental lighting and its impact on the blood-retinal barrier homeostasis.An epidemiological survey involving 14523 individuals showed dentists had 3.6 times higher odds of visionrelated issues compared to other occupations(OR=3.639,95%CI:3.064–4.323).Subsequently,chronic photodamage models in rats were created to accurately simulate dental working conditions.Using systematic imaging and gene analysis,including OCT,tissue clearing technology and RNA-sequencing,dental lighting was found to disrupted both inner and outer blood-retinal barriers,reduced retinal blood vessels,and promoted perivascular macrophage recruitment.Among them,the number of capillary branches decreased sharply.Moreover,the activation of inflammatory-related pathways such as NF-κB signaling resulted in the damage of vision-related functional structures in the retina.Notably,among three dental light sources,low-intensity halogen caused minimal retinal damage,whereas blue and white LEDs significantly disrupted blood-retinal barrier homeostasis.This study explored the potential mechanism of dental lighting environment inducing the disruption of blood-retinal barrier homeostasis,and provided essential guidance for dental professionals in selecting light sources,which is conducive to reducing the risk of occupational ocular diseases among dentists.

摘要As pivotal interfaces of maritime trade and urban-industrial systems,ports are increasingly challenged by their dual roles in enabling economic activity and generating air pollution and carbon emissions.This review provides a structured assessment of emission characteristics,mitigation technologies,and governance strategies aimed at port sustainability.It first delineates the primary emission sources—ships,cargo handling equipment,land transport,and on-site energy systems—focusing on key pollutants such as NOx,SO2,PM2.5,VOCs,and CO2.Synergistic technological pathways are then examined,including ship-based alternatives such as shore power,low-carbon fuels,and carbon capture and storage,along with port-side electrification,operational optimization,and integration of renewables.The review further assesses how regulatory frameworks—encompassing mandatory rules,market-based incentives,and international cooperation—govern the adoption and scaling of these technologies.Drawing on case studies from both developed and developing economies,the review identifies enabling factors including institutional coordination and technological readiness,alongside persistent barriers such as fragmented governance and limited financing.It concludes by outlining four strategic imperatives:accelerating scalable technologies diffusion,enhancing multilevel governance alignment,embedding port transitions within broader urban and industrial systems,and promoting equity through just transition frameworks.By integrating technical and institutional dimensions,the review provides a forward-looking roadmap for low-carbon,clean,and resilient port development.

摘要Femoral head necrosis(FHN) is a common leg disorder in the poultry industry often leads to significant cartilage damage.The mechanism behind abnormal apoptosis in FHN broilers,leading to cartilage damage,remains unclear;although endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS) has been found to play a role in glucocorticoid-induced FHN broilers.In this study,we collected samples from broilers with femoral head separation(FHS) and femoral head separation accompanied with growth plate lacerations(FHSL) in a broiler farm.The aim was to investigate the potential association between the severity of FHN,bone remodeling and cartilage damage.Additionally,primary chondrocytes were treated with methylprednisolone(MP) to construct an in vitro FHN model,followed by inhibition or activation of ERS or hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) to further investigate the mechanism of apoptosis in cartilage.The results suggested that cartilage appeared to be the appropriate tissue to investigate the potential mechanisms of FHN,as the degree of cartilage damage was found to be closely related to the severity of the disease.Bone quality was only affected in FHSL broilers,although factors related to bone metabolism were significantly altered among FHN-affected broilers.In addition,cartilage in FHN-affected broilers exhibited high levels of apoptosis and upregulated expression of ERS-related and HIF-1α,which was consistent with both in vivo and in vitro findings after MP treatment.The results were further supported by treatment with HIF-1α or ERS inhibition or activation.In conclusion,bone remodeling and cartilage homeostasis were affected in FHN broilers,but only cartilage damage was significantly exacerbated with FHN development.Moreover,activation of ERS or HIF-1α resulted in apoptosis in cartilage,thus exhibiting a significant correlation with FHN severity.

摘要Salvia miltiorrhiza-derived carbon dots(SmCDs)have a potent antioxidant capacity.Squamosa promoter-binding protein-like(SPL)transcription factors respond to both heat and cold stress.However,the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of both high temperature(HT)and low temperature(LT)stress by SmCDs through SPL-mediated ascorbate(AsA)biosynthesis and recycling pathways remain unexplored.Therefore,we systematically identified 29 BrSPLs and 16 genes related to AsA biosynthesis and recycling pathways in flowering Chinese cabbage.BrSPL11.1 and three genes(BrGalDH,BrAPX,and BrDHAR1)involved in AsA biosynthesis and recycling pathways were induced by both HT and LT,and their expression patterns were modulated by SmCDs.Functional analyses revealed that the expression of BrGalDH,BrAPX,and BrDHAR1 was suppressed in BrSPL11.1 over expressing(BrSPL11.1-OE)plants,leading to reduced AsA content and reactive oxygen species(ROS)accumulation,as well as enhanced sensitivity to thermal extremes.Conversely,atspl11.1 showed inverse phenotypic and biochemical trends.BrSPL11.1 directly bound to the promoters of BrGalDH,BrAPX,or BrDHAR1 and suppressed their transcription.Silencing BrGalDH,BrAPX,or BrDHAR1 decreased the AsA content and increased ROS accumulation,decreasing HT and LT resistance.SmCDs application effectively elevated the AsA content and attenuated ROS accumulation,alleviating oxidative damage under both stress conditions.Our results established that BrSPL11.1 acts as a dual-temperature stress repressor and that SmCDs enhance HT and LT resistance by regulating BrSPL11.1-mediated AsA biosynthesis and recycling pathways.

摘要Taohong Siwu Decoction(THSWD), a traditional Chinese medicinal formulation, has been demonstrated to significantly modulate key signaling pathways implicated in atherosclerosis(AS). This review examines the complex mechanisms through which THSWD influences critical pathways, including nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/serine-threonine kinase(AKT), Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4), mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK), and mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR), that play pivotal roles in AS pathogenesis. By synthesizing experimental evidence and existing literature, the review summarizes how THSWD and its bioactive constituents regulate these signaling cascades to ameliorate AS. Furthermore, it highlights the distinctive therapeutic advantages of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) compounds in managing chronic diseases driven by multi-target and multifactorial mechanisms. Analyzing disease targets from the perspective of signaling pathways enhances the scientific validation of clinical efficacy for such formulations, thereby offering novel insights for future research.

摘要To implement the principle of utilizing waste to address waste issues,porous carbon catalytic materials,prepared through a straightforward process involving NaOH-assisted microwave pyrolysis of ubiquitous waste plastics,were employed to degrade pollutants via peroxymonosulfate(PMS) activation.Polyethylene terephthalate(PET) derived P1S2 exhibited characteristics of defects enrichment and C=O formation,while H1S2,prepared by carbonization of high-density polyethylene(HDPE),possessed a large number of C-OH and defects.Metal-free catalysts P1S2 and H_i S2 exhibited excellent tetracycline(TC) degradation performance,with the rate constants up to 0.303 min-1 and 0.235 min-1.Interestingly,mechanism studies demonstrated that the types of waste plastic precursor had a significant impact on the pathways involved in TC degradation.Specifically,carbon defects in p1S2 dominated the electron transfer nonradial degradation pathway of TC;However,C-OH in H1S2 served as the reactive site for main active species SO4·-/·OH generation,initiating a free radical pathway.In addition,by combining Fukui function calculation and LC-MS test during the TC degradation process,the vulnerable sites attacked by active species were identified;different degradation routes of TC in nonradial and radial pathways were proposed and discussed.Furthermore,the toxicity of all intermediates was analyzed using the toxicity assessment software.This study offers fresh insights into the critical role of carbocatalysts derived from various waste plastics in both nonradical and radical activation processes of PMS.

摘要In the context of global warming,the ongoing reduction in Arctic sea ice and associated influences have become a focal point.Many studies have linked Arctic changes to extreme weather and climate events in the Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes,including cold spells,heatwaves,droughts,storms,and wildfires.However,the causality and physical pathways of the Arctic–midlatitude linkage remain controversial and highly uncertain,hindering the attribution of extremes to Arctic climate change.This study builds on extensive previous research and reviews recent progress in understanding the influence of Arctic amplification and sea ice loss on midlatitude climate variability,as well as the associated uncertainties.The impacts of Arctic changes on the midlatitude weather and climate are substantially mediated by the jet streams,Rossby waves,transient eddy-mean flow interactions,and the stratospheric polar vortex.Despite the enhanced comprehension of mechanisms and pathways,the aforementioned Arctic-midlatitude linkage remains debated.The ongoing prospection is attributed to the noise arising from intrinsic atmospheric variability,Arctic nonlinearities,lower latitude factors,and climate background state.The present study has sought to elucidate the intricacies of the Arctic-midlatitude linkage,with a particular focus on the ramifications for mean and extreme weather and climate conditions in Eurasia and North America.This study also specifically introduces discussions about the sources of uncertainty and possible underlying causes that need to be addressed.

摘要In recent years,the increasing demand for environmentally friendly pesticides in agricultural production has driven the development of novel pesticides characterized by high efficiency,low toxicity,and improved environmental compatibility.Simultaneously,greater emphasis is being placed on evaluating their impact on the soil ecosystem to ensure sustainable pesticide use and the stability of agroecosystems.In this study,we employed 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing and metagenomic analysis to compare the effects of the novel nematicide trifluenfuronate and the commonly used nematicide fosthiazate on soil physicochemical properties,bacterial community structure,and metabolic functions in cucumber cultivation soils.Results showed that soil enzyme activity,microbial community structure and diversity exhibited the most significant differences on day 7 following nematicide application but stabilized by day 100.Both nematicide type and concentration were key factors influencing bacterial community structure.Compared to fosthiazate,trifluenfuronate more significantly enhanced soil bacterial community abundance while exerting fewer negative impacts on related enzyme activities and KEGG pathways.In addition,fosthiazate preferentially regulated membrane-associated efflux genes,whereas trifluenfuronate primarily interfered with the transcriptional regulation of target genes to mitigate antibiotic stress.These alterations in microbial community structure and function led to changes in soil nutrient bioavailability.This made the trifluenfuronate treatment group have higher available nitrogen and phosphorus content to supply to cucumber.This research contributes to understanding their ecological effects and paves the way for future sustainable pesticide research.

摘要With advantages of high safety,low cost,and environmental friendliness,aqueous zinc metal batteries(ZMBs)are widely recognized as potential next-generation systems for grid-scale energy storage.However,their widespread application suffers from unstable Zn/electrolyte interfaces induced by uncontrolled Zn2+desolvation,migration,and deposition.Herein,we propose a molecularly engineered interfacial layer,created through a hydrolysis-condensation molecular assembly,that couples hydrophobic exclusion,preferential Zn2+transport pathways,and Lewis-basic coordination centers within a single framework.The strong electronegativity and hydrophobic properties of the macromolecular layer effectively repel anions and exclude free water molecules from the Zn surface,thereby suppressing hydrogen evolution and byproduct accumulation.Meanwhile,the preferential ion channels enriched with Lewisbase sites provide favorable Zn2+coordination environments,accelerate desolvation kinetics,and promote preferential ion migration,ultimately lowering nucleation barriers and homogenizing Zn2+flux.Benefiting from this regulation of interfacial chemistry and transport kinetics,the modified Zn anode achieves dendrite-free and highly reversible Zn plating/stripping,delivering a long cycling lifespan(3600 h at 1 m A cm-2and 1 mAh cm-2),high Coulombic efficiency(99.7%after 1200 cycles),and excellent full-cell capacity retention(95%after 2000 cycles).
摘要This study investigates the high-pressure behavior of liquid nitrogen(LN2),under dynamic compression from 19 to 89 GPa and corresponding temperatures from 4000 to 8200 K.Using Doppler velocimetry and multichannel pyrometry,we determine the Hugoniot states,shock temperatures,and emissivity.The application of sequential shocks and subsequent pressure release process lead to significant variations in radiance and radiative temperature,which help to predict the optical transparency at the LN2/LiF interface.Our results indicate the existence of two distinct thermodynamic pathways.In experiments with an initial shock>30 GPa,at the second shock(re-shock),the fluid undergoes shock cooling,which we attribute to the formation of a transient complex molecular state.Further,during pressure release,we observe thermal energy emission,which indicates that decompression primarily governs the phase transitions as well as the reversible thermodynamic pathways.By contrast,LN2 initially shocked to 19 GPa undergoes dissociation upon re-shock,followed by recombination during pressure release,with no evidence of cooling being observed.A comparison of these results suggests that shock cooling consistently appears above 30 GPa and 6500 K.Furthermore,these two regimes are differentiated by their response to pressure release:while both show a decrease in emissivity that reflects restoration of the fluid’s transparency,the magnitudes are dramatically different.A 21%decrease occurs in the shock-cooling regime,compared with a 39%reduction in the dissociation-dominated regime.

摘要The land sector has significant potential to contribute to net-zero greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions commitments via changes in land-use and management.Land-use change however,can have spillover effects for a range of other socio-economic and environmental indicators.In this study,we identified net-zero pathways which mitigate trade-offs and capture co-benefits for the Australian land sector using a combination of exploratory scenario analysis and scenario discovery.Using machine learning-based surrogate models trained on the Land-Use Trade-Offs(LUTO)model,we identified many net-zero compliant scenarios at three different estimates of emissions abatement(low,medium,and high)requirement for the land sector and quantified their potential spillover effects.We found that significant land-use change may be required for Australia’s land sector to contribute to net-zero and that this has both trade-offs and co-benefits for economic returns,food production,biodiversity,and water resources.Crucially,the impacts of achieving net-zero on land-use change and spillover effects varied widely with both the level of land sector emissions abatement required and the policy settings within each abatement level.To illustrate,compared to the worst performing Medium abatement level pathway,the best performing pathway achieved 23.04$B yr-1 more in economic returns,produced 28.76$B yr-1 more food/fibre,and generated 23.24%greater biodiversity services,but with a trade-off of 2.82 million ML yr-1 more water use.We outline the specific policy settings required for a sustainable net-zero transition for the land sector(i.e.,which avoid trade-offs and capture co-benefits)for the three abatement levels including carbon pricing,agricultural productivity gains,reduced barriers to adoption,and incentives to support biodiversity.The results illustrate the importance of a portfolio of well-designed,evidence-based policy interventions for supporting a sustainable transition to net-zero emissions.

摘要Carbon dioxide(CO2)is the main greenhouse gas(GHG)released by human activities.The substitution of fossil resources by biomass as a bio-renewable resource,has significant potential to reduce GHG emissions.The approach to biomass,as the only true full-scale alternative to fossil resources,is progressing rapidly.Converting biomass into furanic compounds,as versatile platform chemicals for synthesizing a wide range of bio-based products is the cornerstone of sustainable technologies.The extensive body of this review combines the biomass valorization to furanic compounds by CO2utilization and furanic compounds conversion by CO2fixation.These processes can be strategically applied through both‘thermochemical’and‘electrochemical’pathways,by utilizing CO2from the atmosphere or industrial emission point and returning it to the natural carbon cycle.In the thermochemical pathway CO2acts as a carbon source(carboxylation and polymerization)or active reaction assistant in the biomass conversion(CO2-assisted conversion),without altering its oxidation state,facilitating the synthesis of valuable products and polymers.Conversely,in the electrochemical pathway,CO2can be used as a carbon source(electrocarboxylation)to give the corresponding carboxylic acid,or it can undergo reduction,yielding methanol,carbon monoxide(CO),formic acid,and analogous compounds,while on the other side,furanic compounds undergo oxidation yielding high-value-added chemicals.Finally,potential future research directions are suggested to promote CO2utilization and fixation in the valorization of biomass-derived furanic compounds,and challenges facing further research are highlighted.

摘要This narrative review examines recent advances in salivary biomarkers for oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC),a major subtype of oral cancer with persistently low five-year survival rates due to delayed diagnosis.Saliva has emerged as a noninvasive diagnostic medium capable of reflecting both local tumor activity and systemic physiological changes.Various salivary biomarkers,including microRNAs,cytokines,proteins,metabolites,and exosomes,have been linked to oncogenic signaling pathways involved in tumor progression,immune modulation,and therapeutic resistance.Advances in quantitative polymerase chain reaction,mass spectrometry,and next-generation sequencing have enabled comprehensive biomarker profiling,while point-of-care detection systems and saliva-based omics platforms are accelerating clinical translation.Remaining challenges include variability in salivary composition,lack of standardized collection protocols,and insufficient validation across large patient cohorts.This review highlights the mechanistic relevance,diagnostic potential,and translational challenges of salivary biomarkers in OSCC.

摘要Ultrafast phenomena initiated by strong-field ionization are commonly interpreted within classical or semiclassical frameworks based on electron trajectories.In this work,we theoretically investigate the energy-resolved photoelectron angular distributions in above-threshold ionization(ATI)induced by elliptically polarized ultraviolet(UV)pulses and unravel the underlying dynamics from the perspective of quantum-pathway interference.By numerically solving the threedimensional time-dependent Schrodinger equation,we extract the contributions of the quantum pathways for an electron transitioning from the ground state to the continuum under pulses with different ellipticities.Our results demonstrate that for close-to-circularly polarized UV pulses,two quantum pathways govern the angular distribution for each ATI peak,and their interference produces a cosinusoidal oscillation in the photoelectron angular distributions,which is distinct from the Gaussian characteristic predicted by the traditional tunneling framework.In particular,the corresponding offset angle is shown to depend on the relative phase between these two dominant channels.As the ellipticity decreases,the increasing number of contributing pathways leads to a multiple-peak structure in the photoelectron angular distribution.The present study provides a quantum-mechanical perspective for understanding the angular streaking of nonadiabatic ionization in rotating fields.

摘要Recently,Tian et al.published a research paper with significant breakthroughs in Cell[1].The study found that targeting the signalling pathways named Serpine2-lowdensity lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1(Lrp1)and ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1(CD39)-adenosine A3receptor(A3AR)is a promising strategy for the treatment of vascular dementia.The Serpine2-Lrp1 signalling pathway primarily exerts its therapeutic effects on myelin regeneration by regulating the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells.Serpine2 is a secretory serine protease inhibitor regulates proteolytic homeostasis.It may also bind to cell surface receptors such as Lrp1 to directly activate signalling pathways.As a transmembrane glycoprotein receptor,Lrpl mediates the endocytic clearance of ligands.
摘要The management of hepatic cystic echinococcosis continues to evolve,with percutaneous techniques increasingly challenging traditional surgical approaches.The paper from Tahtabasi et al on the recent issue of World Journal of Gastroenterology present a large-scale retrospective analysis comparing percutaneous and surgical treatments for liver hydatid cysts with a World Health Organization classification of CE1 and CE3a over a 20-year period.Their study,encompassing 989 patients from an endemic region in Türkiye,provides robust real-world evidence that percutaneous methods offer shorter hospital stays,reduced operative times,and lower risks of intraoperative organ injury,while surgical intervention demonstrates marginal advantages in reducing recollection and anaphylaxis.Importantly,the study identifies cyst volume as a key predictor of cystobiliary fistula development,irrespective of treatment modality.This editorial contextualizes these findings within the broader landscape of hydatid disease management,discusses methodological strengths and limitations,and highlights the need for standardized definitions,randomized trials,and individualized treatment algorithms.We argue that a tailored approach-incorporating cyst characteristics,anatomical location,and patient factors-is essential for optimizing outcomes in patients with this complex parasitic disease.
