Despite many studies on the toxicity of nanoplastic particles (NPPs) to aquatic invertebrates, effects ecological constituents such as humic substances (HSs) are often neglected. In our study, Daphnia magna was used evaluate three HSs, natural organic matter (NOM), fulvic acid (FA), and (HA), NPP corona formation. Acute toxicities NPPs were reduced by all HSs at environmentally relevant concentrations. elicited upregulation genes related detoxification, oxidative stress, endocrine activity...
Abstract Gut dysbiosis has been linked to type 1 diabetes (T1D); however, microbial capacity in T1D remains unclear. Here, we integratively profiled gut functional and metabolic alterations children with new-onset independent cohorts investigated the underlying mechanisms. In T1D, microbiota was characterized by decreased butyrate production bile acid metabolism increased lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis at species, gene, metabolite levels. The combination of 18 bacterial species fecal...
We report the surprising chemiluminescence (CL) behavior of fluorescent carbon dots in presence a strong alkaline solution, such as NaOH or KOH. The CL intensity was dependent on concentration base and certain range. A possible mechanism studied by UV-Vis, fluorescence, CL, FTIR, XPS EPR spectroscopy. Radiative recombination injected electrons "chemical reduction" with thermally excited generated holes proposed, which sheds new light characteristics dots.
Numerous studies have indicated estrogenic disruption effects of bisphenol A (BPA) analogues. Previous mechanistic were mainly focused on their genomic activities nuclear estrogen receptor pathway. However, nongenomic through G protein-coupled (GPER) pathway remain poorly understood. Here, using a SKBR3 cell-based fluorescence competitive binding assay, we found six BPA analogues bound to GPER directly, with AF (BPAF) and B (BPB) displaying much higher (∼9-fold) affinity than BPA. Molecular...

Exclusion is a keystone of integrated pest management to prevent the introduction pathogens. U.S. plant quarantine programs employ PCR and high-throughput sequencing (HTS) test imported plants for viruses viroids concern. Achieving low limit detection in any HTS protocol could be challenging. Following template-switching cDNA amplification protocol, seven synthesis treatments were used simultaneously relative abundance coverage three most commonly latent RNA found apples: apple chlorotic...
Cellular uptake and exocytosis of SWCNTs are fundamental processes determining their intracellular concentration effects. Despite the great potential acid-oxidized in biomedical field, understanding influencing factors on these needs to be deepened. Here, we quantitatively investigated three lengths-630 (±171) nm (L-SWCNTs), 390 (±50) (M-SWCNTs), 195 (±63) (S-MWCNTs) macrophages. The results showed that cellular accumulation was a length-independent process non-monotonic time, with most...
This paper uses the finite-discrete element method (FDEM) to establish a fluid–solid coupling model for propagation of multi-cluster hydraulic fractures. The validity proposed is verified using analytical solution and onsite microseismic data. results show that with approach angle increases, fracture transitions from single capture mode mixed modes capture, crossing blocking. total length fractures negatively correlated cohesion natural fracture, positively distribution density bandwidth...
Electrosynthesis of acetate from carbon monoxide (CO) powered by renewable electricity offers one promising avenue to obtain valuable carbon-based products but undergoes unsatisfied selectivity because the competing hydrogen evolution reaction. We report here a cerium single atoms (Ce-SAs) modified crystalline-amorphous dual-phase copper (Cu) catalyst, in which Ce SAs reduce electron density Cu, lowering proportion interfacial K+ ion hydrated water (K·H2O) and thereby decreasing H* coverage...
Abstract Background The real-world exposure levels of non-therapeutic antibiotics and neonicotinoids in type 1 diabetes (T1D) children their associations as environmental triggers through gut microbiota shifts remained unknown. We thus investigated the neonicotinoids’ with pediatric T1D. Methods Fifty-one newly onset T1D along 67 age-matched healthy controls were recruited. Urine concentrations 28 12 measured by mass spectrometry. Children grouped according to kinds antibiotics’ exposures,...
