The heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like (HPF-like) catalyst TiO₂/CuFeO₂ was prepared by ball-milling and calcination for oxytetracycline (OTC) degradation. The systematic characterization indicated that the dispersion of TiO₂ nanoparticles onto CuFeO₂ improved visible light absorption and promoted electron transfer through heterojunction structure, benefitting photocatalytic activity. The optimum conditions were specified as 0.15 g/L TiO₂/CuFeO₂-0.3, 30…

Microplastics (MPs) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are ubiquitously present in agroecosystems, which can cause varying degrees of environmental damage. This study reports the investigation of the effect of MPs on PFOA adsorption by soil. A comprehensive analysis was performed on the adsorption–desorption dynamics of PFOA by MPs and soil under different conditions. The surface morphology of MPs and their interaction with PFOA were characterized. Irregularly shaped MPs facilitated accurate simulation of real-worl…

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Objective:</bold> This study evaluates the efficacy of trifluoperazine in treating ovarian cancer and investigates its potential molecular mechanisms through in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as network pharmacology analysis. <bold>Methods: </bold>We used the CCK-8 assay to assess cell proliferation in five ovarian cancer cell lines (ES-2, SK-OV-3, OVCAR-3, OV-90, ID8). We performed scratch and Transwell assays on SK-OV-3 and ID8 cells to evaluate their migration and invasion …

ABSTRACT The protective effect of influenza vaccination on stroke risk has been inconclusive. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of influenza vaccination on the 1‐year risk of stroke in individuals aged 60 years and older with COPD and hypertension or diabetes mellitus. We conducted a retrospective cohort study in four districts of Shanghai, China, from August 2017 to July 2019. Data were collected from various information systems related to chronic disease management, cardiovascular reporting, and …

As a key pest damaging urban greenery in Yunnan, China, Achelura yunnanensis larvae secrete venom for defense, yet the molecular basis of this process remains poorly understood. This study aimed to uncover the molecular mechanisms of venom secretion by comparing the dorsal epidermis tissue (LDET) with the larval proleg tissue (LP). We performed transcriptomic analysis using RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes between LDET and LP (10 biological replicates per tissue type), followed by function…
