    Abstract Magnetic particle tracking is a recently developed technology that can measure the translation and rotation of a particle in an opaque environment like a turbidity flow and fluidized-bed flow. The trajectory reconstruction usually relies on numerical optimization or filtering, which involve artificial parameters or thresholds. Existing analytical reconstruction algorithms have certain limitations and usually depend on the gradient of the magnetic field, which is not easy to measure accurately in many applications. This paper discusses a new semi-analytical solution and the related reconstruction algorithm. The new method can be used for an arbitrary sensor arrangement. To reduce the measurement uncertainty in practical applications, deep neural network (DNN)-based models are developed to denoise the reconstructed trajectory. Compared to traditional approaches such as wavelet-based filtering, the DNN-based denoisers are more accurate in the position reconstruction. However, they often over-smooth the velocity signal, and a hybrid method that combines the wavelet and DNN model provides a more accurate velocity reconstruction. All the DNN-based and wavelet methods perform well in the orientation reconstruction.

    Abstract This study investigates the mechanism of metal-free pyridine phosphination with P(OEt) 3 , PPh 3 , and PAr 2 CF 3 using density functional theory calculations. The results show that the reaction mechanism and rate-determining step vary depending on the phosphine and additive used. For example, phosphination of pyridine with P(OEt) 3 occurs in five stages, and ethyl abstraction is the rate-determining step. Meanwhile, 2-Ph-pyridine phosphination with PPh 3 is a four-step reaction with proton abstraction as the rate-limiting step. Energy decomposition analysis of the transition states reveals that steric hindrance in the phosphine molecule plays a key role in the site-selective formation of the phosphonium salt. The mechanism of 2-Ph-pyridine phosphination with PAr 2 CF 3 is similar to that with PPh 3 , and analyses of the effects of substituents show that electron-withdrawing groups decreased the nucleophilicity of the phosphine, whereas aryl electron-donating groups increased it. Finally, TfO − plays an important role in the C–H fluoroalkylation of pyridine, as it brings weak interactions.

    Abstract The treatment of full-thickness cutaneous wounds remains a significant challenge in clinical therapeutics. Exogenous growth factor (GF) has been applied in clinics to promote wound healing. However, the retention of GF on the wound bed after its direct application to the wound surface is difficult. Moreover, growth factors (GFs) are always inactivated in the complex wound healing microenvironment due to various factors, which significantly decrease the therapeutic effect. Sericin hydrogel (S) can be used as an effective carrier for GFs owing to its low immunogenicity, good biocompatibility, and good healing-promoting ability. Here, we designed a heparin-based sericin hydrogel (HS) -encapsulated basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF-HS) to facilitate wound healing and skin regeneration. The hydrogel exhibited a three-dimensional (3D) microporous structure, excellent biodegradability, good adhesiveness, and low cytotoxicity. In vitro release of bFGF from bFGF-HS coacervates revealed that bFGF-HS might control the release of bFGF within 25 days through heparin regulation. bFGF-HS significantly promoted vascularization and re-epithelialization and improved collagen deposition, ultimately accelerating wound healing in vivo in mice. bFGF-HS treated wounds were also found to have more hair follicles and milder inflammatory reactions. Overall, this study provides a new therapeutic approach for full-thickness skin defect wounds using bFGF-HS.

    Abstract In this study, electrospun nanofibers (NFs) used in trauma dressings were prepared using silk fibroin (SF) and gelatin (GT) as materials and highly volatile formic acid as the solvent, with three different concentrations of propolis extracts (EP), which were loaded through a simple process. The resulting samples were characterized by surface morphology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), contact angle meter, water absorption, degradation rate, and mechanical property tests. The incorporation of propolis improved its antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus, compared to those of the silk gelatin nanofiber material (SF/GT) alone. In vitro biocompatibility assays showed that SF/GT-1%EP had good cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility. In addition, it can also significantly promote the migration of L929 cells. SF/GT-1%EP was applied to a mouse model of full thickness skin defects, and it was found to significantly promote wound healing. These results indicate that the SF/GT-EP nanofiber material has good biocompatibility, migrating-promoting capability, antibacterial properties, and healing-promoting ability, providing a new idea for the treatment of full thickness skin defects.

    Abstract Southwestern China has the largest geological phosphorus-rich mountain in the world, which is seriously degraded by mining activities. Understanding the trajectory of soil microbial recovery and identifying the driving factors behind such restoration, as well as conducting corresponding predictive simulations, can be instrumental in facilitating ecological rehabilitation. Here, high-throughput sequencing and machine learning-based approaches were employed to investigate restoration chronosequences under four restoration strategies (spontaneous re-vegetation with or without topsoil; artificial re-vegetation with or without the addition of topsoil) in one of the largest and oldest open-pit phosphate mines worldwide. Although soil phosphorus (P) is extremely high here (max = 68.3 mg/g), some phosphate solubilizing bacteria and mycorrhiza fungi remain as the predominant functional types. Soil stoichiometry ratios (C:P and N:P) closely relate to the bacterial variation, but soil P content contributes less to microbial dynamics. Meanwhile, as restoration age increases, denitrifying bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi significantly increased. Significantly, based on partial least squares path analysis, it was found that the restoration strategy is the primary factor that drives soil bacterial and fungal composition as well as functional types through both direct and indirect effects. These indirect effects arise from factors such as soil thickness, moisture, nutrient stoichiometry, pH, and plant composition. Moreover, its indirect effects constitute the main driving force towards microbial diversity and functional variation. Using a hierarchical Bayesian model, scenario analysis reveals that the recovery trajectories of soil microbes are contingent upon changes in restoration stage and treatment strategy; inappropriate plant allocation may impede the recovery of the soil microbial community. This study is helpful for understanding the dynamics of the restoration process in degraded phosphorus-rich ecosystems, and ...

    Abstract Introduction: Numerous studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote cutaneous wound healing via paracrine signaling. Our previous study found that the secretome of MSCs was significantly amplified by treatment with IFN-γ and TNF-α (IT). It has been known that macrophages are involved in the initiation and termination of inflammation, secretion of growth factors, phagocytosis, cell proliferation and collagen deposition in wound, which is the key factor during wound healing. In the present study, we used a unique supernatant of MSCs from human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) pretreated with IT, designated S-IT MSCs, to explore whether S-IT MSCs have a better effect on improving wound healing by improving the biological function of macrophages than the control supernatant of MSCs (S-MSCs). Methods: In the present study, we used a unique supernatant of MSCs pretreated with IT subcutaneously injected into a mice total skin excision. We evaluated the effect of S-IT MSCs on wound healing and the quality of wound repair via promoting macrophages migration and M2 polarization in vivo. In addition, the effect of S-IT MSCs on macrophages migration, converting toward M2 phenotype and phagocytosis were also investigated in vitro. Results: Indeed, S-IT MSCs were found to be more potent in promoting macrophage migration, M2 polarization, phagocytosis, and promoting wound closure than S-MSCs during the wound repair. High levels of CCL2 and IL-6 were found in S-IT MSCs, which indicated that the optimization of macrophage function by S-IT MSCs may be achieved through their high expression of CCL2 and IL-6. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the beneficial paracrine effect of MSCs on wound healing can be amplified by pretreatment with IT, which may represent a new strategy for optimizing the therapeutic effect of MSCs on wound healing.

    Abstract Efficient depolymerization of C–O linkages is essential for converting lignin into fuels and higher value-added chemicals. In this work, CoRuP/SiO 2 , an amorphous Ru-Co phosphide composite, was fabricated for the efficient hydrogenolysis of ether linkages. The 4– O –5 and α – O –4 linkages containing lignin-related compounds, such as diphenyl ether, benzyl phenyl ether, 3-methyl diphenyl ether, and dibenzyl ether, are selected as representatives of linkages in lignin. Under mild conditions, Ru-containing metallic phosphides have high-performance for the catalytic depolymerization of C–O linkages. Compared with other catalysts, CoRuP/SiO 2 shows an outstanding selectivity for benzene and excellent efficiency in depolymerizing diphenyl ethers, yielding only a small amount of by-products. Furthermore, the total acidity shows a linear relationship with the hydrogenolysis reactivity in cleaving aromatic ether bonds. The mechanisms for the catalytic hydrogenolysis of 4– O –5 and α – O –4 bonds over CoRuP/SiO 2 are proposed. Moreover, two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis demonstrates that CoRuP/SiO 2 could effectively depolymerize C–O bonds of lignin. These dominant hydrogenolysis products from lignin have excellent potential in the production of high value-added drugs or pharmaceutical intermediates. The hydrogenolysis of lignin can be a highly efficient alternative to the existing method of lignin utilization.

It has been known that macrophages are involved in the initiation and termination of inflammation, secretion of growth factors, phagocytosis, cell proliferation, and collagen deposition in wound, which is the key factor during wound healing. In this study, we aim to test whether the supernatant of MSCs pretreated with IT (S-IT MSCs) possesses a more pronounced effect on improving wound healing and describe the interplay between S-IT MSCs and macrophages as well as the potential mechanism in skin wound healing. Methods In the present study, we used a unique supernatant of MSCs from human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) pretreated with IT, designated S-IT MSCs, subcutaneously injected into a mice total skin excision. We evaluated the effect of S-IT MSCs on the speed and quality of wound repair via IT MSCs-derived IL-6-dependent M2 polarization in vivo by hematoxylin–eosin staining (H&E), immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), Masson’s trichrome staining, Sirius red staining, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). In addition, the effect of S-IT MSCs on the polarization of macrophages toward M2 phenotype and the potential mechanism of it were also investigated in vitro by flow cytometry (FCM), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), tube formation assay, and western blot analysis. Results Compared with control supernatant (S-MSCs), our H&E and IF results showed that S-IT MSCs were more effectively in promoting macrophages convert to the M2 phenotype and enhancing phagocytosis of M2 macrophages. Meanwhile, the results of tube formation assay, IHC, Masson’s trichrome staining, Sirius red staining showed that the abilities of M2 phenotype to promote vascularization and collagen deposition were significantly enhanced by S-IT ...
