    Abstract Controllable preparation of NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDH) on suitable conductive substrate is always a key precondition for their wide applications. Standing NiFe LDH nanosheets were successfully grown on stainless steel fibers felt (SSFF) at room temperature. The prepared SSFF@ NiFe LDH electrocatalyst displayed a high electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline electrolyte as well as alkaline seawater. The effects of mass loading and molar ratio of Ni/Fe on the electrocatalytic activity were also evaluated. With the optimized electrode, the overpotential for the anodic OER process only needs 198 and 260 mV at a current density of 10 and 300 mA cm−2, respectively.

    Abstract The utilization of carbon framework to guide the growth of the Li dendrites is an important theme for Li metal batteries. The conductivity and electronegative sites of carbon materials will greatly affect the nucleation of Li metal. However, how much these two contributing factors affect the Li plating/stripping stability should be considered. This work presents N, O doped carbon nanofiber framework (CNF) membrane as the interlayer for protecting the Li anode. The amounts of N and O elements and their ratios, the conductivity, the thickness of CNF membrane and their effects on the Li plating/stripping process have been fully analyzed. The voltage profile and the stability of Li plating/stripping process are evaluated by symmetric and asymmetrical coin cells. The lithiophilic heteroatom doped surface mainly works as an excellent guide during the Li plating process, whereas the conductivity and mechanical stability of CNF equalize the current density and confine the volume change in during cycling. With the optimized CNF membrane as the interlayer, both Li metal and Li-S full cells exhibit good capacity properties and cyclic stability.

    Abstract Gastric cancer is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. Research has focused on exploring natural medicines to improve the systematic chemotherapy for gastric cancer. Luteolin, a natural flavonoid, possesses anticancer activities. Nevertheless, the mechanism of the anticancer effects of luteolin is still not clear. The present study aimed to verify the inhibitory effect of luteolin on gastric cancer HGC-27, MFC and MKN-45 cells and to explore the underlying mechanism. A Cell Counting Kit-8 cell viability assay, flow cytometry, western blot, an ATP content assay and an enzyme activity testing assay were used. Luteolin inhibited the proliferation of gastric cancer HGC-27, MFC and MKN-45 cells. Further, it impaired mitochondrial integrity and function by destroying the mitochondrial membrane potential, downregulating the activities of mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes (mainly complexes I, III and V), and unbalancing the expression of B cell lymphoma-2 family member proteins, eventually leading to apoptosis of gastric cancer HGC-27, MFC and MKN-45 cells. The intrinsic apoptosis pathway was involved in luteolin's anti-gastric cancer effects. Furthermore, mitochondria were the main target in luteolin-induced gastric cancer apoptosis. The present study may provide a theoretical basis for the research on the effect of luteolin on the mitochondrial metabolism in cancer cells, and pave the way for its practical application in the future.

    Abstract Research suggests that daphnoretin exhibits a diverse array of antitumor mechanisms and pharmacological activities. However, there is no definitive explanation for the antitumor mechanisms of daphnoretin in malignant melanoma. In the present study, MTT and colony formation assays demonstrated that daphnoretin significantly inhibited the proliferation of melanoma A375 and B16 cells. Following treatment with daphnoretin, apoptotic bodies were observed in A375 and B16 cells via Hoechst 33258 staining. Furthermore, western blot analysis revealed that the apoptosis-related proteins cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, Bax, cytochrome

    Abstract Background: The clinical treatment of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is mainly based on conventional medicine, but the mechanism of the medicine is single and the efficacy is different. Shenmai injection (SMI) has a variety of ingredients, but the effect of SMI on CMD has not been studied. This study investigated the effect of SMI on CMD and its possible mechanism.
    Methods: The protective effect of SMI on CMD was evaluated in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In vivo, forty-five male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (sham group), CMD group (model group), and SMI group (treatment group). Two weeks after SMI intervention, laurate was injected into the left ventricle of rats to construct a CMD model. Blood samples were collected to detect myocardial enzymes, oxidative stress, and inflammatory factors, and the hearts of rats were extracted for histopathological staining and western blot detection. In vitro, a hydrogen peroxide-induced endothelial injury model was established in HUVECs. After pretreatment with SMI, cell viability, oxidative stress, vasodilative factors, and apoptosis were detected.
    Results: In vivo, pretreatment with SMI could effectively reduce the concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), endothelin-1 (ET-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-
    Conclusions: Pretreatment with SMI could improve CMD by alleviating oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis and then improving vascular endothelial function and microvascular structure.

In vivo, pretreatment with SMI could effectively reduce the concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), endothelin-1 (ET-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the serum of rats. Meanwhile, the expression of bcl-2-associated X (Bax) and caspase-3 protein in the myocardium of rats was decreased in the SMI group. The levels of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) were higher in the SMI group than in the CMD group. Pathological staining results showed that SMI could effectively reduce inflammatory infiltration and the formation of collagen fibers and microthrombus in the rat myocardium. In vitro, intervention with SMI could improve endothelial function in a dose-dependent manner ...

    Abstract Background: The optimal treatments for atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients are controversial. The present study compared the efficacy of catheter ablation and medical therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
    Methods: Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched until January 15, 2022. Randomized controlled trials comparing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation with medical therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure were enrolled. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included the heart failure hospitalization and the change in left ventricular ejection fraction, 6-minute walk test distance, peak oxygen consumption, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire score.
    Results: Totally 8 randomized controlled trials involving 1693 patients were included. Compared with medical therapy, catheter ablation significantly reduced all-cause mortality (risk ratios=0.60, 95% Cl: 0.45 to 0.80, P < .001) and hospitalization due to heart failure (risk ratios=0.58, 95% Cl: 0.46 to 0.73, P < .001), improved left ventricular ejection fraction (mean difference=5.25%, 95% CI: 2.78% to 7.71%, P < .001), improved the performance of 6-minute walk test (mean difference=28.83 m, 95% CI: 8.61 to 49.05 m, P=.005), increased peak oxygen consumption (mean difference=3.11 mL/kg/min, 95% CI: 1.04 to 5.18 mL/kg/min, P=.003), and reduced Minnesota Living with Heart Failure score (mean difference=-8.45, 95% CI: -16.28 to -0.62, P=.03).
    Conclusion: In heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation, catheter ablation provides more benefits over medical therapy in the important clinical outcomes, exercise capacity, and quality of life.

    Abstract Although the reduction of oxaliplatin doses may alleviate deleterious side effects of gastrointestinal and gynecological cancer treatment, it also limits the anticancer therapeutic effects. As a high-efficient and low-priced herbal medicine ingredient, luteolin is an agent with a broad spectrum of anticancer activities and acts as a potential enhancer of therapeutic effects of chemotherapy agents in cancer treatment. This study focused on the antitumor effects and mechanism of combined treatment with luteolin and oxaliplatin on a mouse forestomach carcinoma (MFC) cell line. The study used CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay, reactive oxygen species testing assay, mitochondrial membrane potential testing assay, and western blot assay. The results showed that luteolin and oxaliplatin exerted synergistic effects on inhibiting MFC cell proliferation by inducing G
