    Abstract Contrasting effects of sulfidation on contaminants reduction by zero-valent iron (ZVI) has been reported in literature but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, under well-controlled conditions, we compared the performance of ZVI and sulfidated ZVI (S-ZVI) toward a series of chlorinated compounds. Results revealed that, although S-ZVI was more reactive than ZVI toward hexachloroethane, pentachloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and trichloroethene, sulfidation hindered the dechlorination of the other ten tested chlorinated aliphatics by a factor of 1.5-125. Moreover, S-ZVI may lead to an accumulation of toxic partially-dechlorinated products. Analogous to its effects on ZVI reactivity, sulfidation also exerted positive, negligible, or negative effects on the electron efficiency of ZVI. Solvent kinetic isotope effect analysis suggested that direct electron transfer rather than reaction with atomic hydrogen was the dominant reduction mechanism in S-ZVI system. Hence, the sulfidation enhancing effects could be expected only when direct electron transfer is the preferred reduction route for target contaminants. Furthermore, linear free energy relationships analysis indicated one-electron reduction potential could be used to predict the transformation of chlorinated ethanes by S-ZVI, whereas for chlorinated ethenes, their adsorption properties on S-ZVI determined the dechlorination process. All these findings may offer guidance for the decision-making regarding the application of S-ZVI.

    Abstract State-owned enterprises (SOEs) encounter various constraints on sustainability in low-carbon development due to institutional hybridity. This study aimed to examine how SOEs develop sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) toward low-carbon development. Drawing on a case study of Shanghai Metro, we developed a process model for sustainability-oriented low-carbon innovation (SLI) in SOEs. The model illustrated that implementing a national low-carbon strategy introduces environmental, social, and financial constraints on sustaining value pluralism for SOEs, triggering the actors to develop SLI involving sensing and idea generation, configuration, and transformation, resulting in innovative low-carbon operational processes, products/services, and business models which reconcile environmental benefits, financial returns, and social welfare. This paper enriches the emerging research on SOI and extends the existing understanding of low-carbon innovation. Beyond this, the findings also offer a new lens of SLI to the conventional research and managerial practices concerning SOEs’ hybridity and low-carbon development.

    Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disorder characterized by structural and functional changes in the kidneys, providing a global health challenge with significant impacts on mortality rates. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), are vital in the physiological and pathological processes associated with CKD. They have been shown to modulate key pathways involved in renal injury, including inflammation, fibrosis, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. Currently, the application research of EVs in the diagnosis and treatment of CKD is highly prevalent. However, there is currently a lack of standardized guidelines for their application, and various methodologies have advantages and limitations. Consequently, we present an comprehensive summary elucidating the multifaceted involvement of EVs in both physiological and pathological aspects in CKD. Furthermore, we explore their potential as biomarkers and diverse therapeutic roles in CKD. This review provides an overview of the current state of research on application of EVs in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of CKD.

    Abstract Previously we reported two salicylaldoxime conjugates (L7R3 and L7R5) showing equal or even higher reactivating efficiency for both organophosphorus nerve agent and pesticide inhibited acetylcholinesterase in comparison to obidoxime and HI-6. In this study, L7R3 and L7R5 were selected as lead compounds and refined by employing a fragment-based drug design strategy, and a total of 32 novel salicylaldoxime conjugates were constructed and screened for DFP and paraoxon inhibited acetylcholinesterase. The findings demonstrate that the conjugate L73R3, which contains a 4-nitrophenyl group, exhibited a higher reactivation efficacy against paraoxon-inhibited acetylcholinesterase compared to obidoxime and HI-6. It was confirmed that the combination of a 4-pyridinyl or 4-nitrophenyl peripheral site ligand, a piperazine linker and a methyl or chloro-substituted salicylaldoxime could construct efficient nonquaternary oxime reactivators. The results hold promise for developing a new generation of highly effective antidotes for organophosphate poisoning.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the effects of emodin on alkali burn-induced corneal inflammation and neovascularization.
    Methods: The ability of emodin to target vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) was predicted by molecular docking. The effects of emodin on the invasion, migration, and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were determined by cell counting kit-8, Transwell, and tube formation assays. Analysis of apoptosis was performed by flow cytometry. CD31 levels were examined by immunofluorescence. The abundance and phosphorylation state of VEGFR2, protein kinase B (Akt), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and P38 were examined by immunoblot analysis. Corneal alkali burn was performed on 40 mice. Animals were divided randomly into two groups, and the alkali-burned eyes were then treated with drops of either 10 μM emodin or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) four times a day. Slit-lamp microscopy was used to evaluate inflammation and corneal neovascularization (CNV) in all eyes on Days 0, 7, 10, and 14. The mice were killed humanely 14 d after the alkali burn, and their corneas were removed and preserved at -80 ℃ until histological study or protein extraction.
    Results: Molecular docking confirmed that emodin was able to target VEGFR2. The findings revealed that emodin decreased the invasion, migration, angiogenesis, and proliferation of HUVEC in a dose-dependent manner. In mice, emodin suppressed corneal inflammatory cell infiltration and inhibited the development of corneal neovascularization induced by alkali burn. Compared to those of the PBS-treated group, lower VEGFR2 expression and CD31 levels were found in the emodin-treated group. Emodin dramatically decreased the expression of VEGFR2, p-VEGFR2, p-Akt, p-STAT3, and p-P38 in VEGF-treated HUVEC.
    Conclusion: This study provides a new avenue for evaluating the molecular mechanisms underlying corneal inflammation and neovascularization. Emodin might be a promising new therapeutic option for corneal alkali burns.

    Abstract Objective: This Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed to investigate the relationships between type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and glycemic traits, including fasting insulin, fasting glucose, and HbA1c, with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
    Methods: We selected genetic instruments for predisposition to T1D, T2D, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, and HbA1c based on published genome-wide association studies. Using a 2-Sample MR approach, we assessed associations with 12 common CVDs sourced from the FinnGen and UK Biobank studies, along with stroke subtypes obtained from the GIGASTROKE and MEGASTROKE Consortium.
    Results: T1D was associated with SVS. T2D showed associations with AIS, LAA, CES, SVS, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, DVT of lower extremities, peripheral vascular diseases. Genetically predicted higher HbA1c levels were associated with eight CVDs. The results of MVMR aligned with the primary findings for T1D and T2D.
    Conclusions: T1D and T2D exhibit different genetic predisposition to CVDs. BMI, LDL, and HDL play intermediary roles in connecting TID and T2D to specific types of CVDs, providing insights into the potential underlying pathways and mechanisms involved in these relationships. Strategies aimed at achieving sustained reductions in HbA1c levels may offer potential for reducing the risk of various CVDs.
