    Abstract Objective: We aimed to explore the heterogeneity of neurons in heart failure with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
    Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of patients with DCM and chronic heart failure and healthy samples from GSE183852 dataset were downloaded from NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus, in which neuron data were extracted for investigation. Cell clustering analysis, differential expression analysis, trajectory analysis, and cell communication analysis were performed, and highly expressed genes in neurons from patients were used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and validated by GSE120895 dataset.
    Results: Neurons were divided into six subclusters involved in various biological processes and each subcluster owned its specific cell communication pathways. Neurons were differentiated into two branches along the pseudotime, one of which was differentiated into mature neurons, whereas another tended to be involved in the immune and inflammation response. Genes exhibited branch-specific differential expression patterns. FLNA, ITGA6, ITGA1, and MDK interacted more with other gene-product proteins in the PPI network. The differential expression of FLNA between DCM and control was validated.
    Conclusion: Neurons have significant heterogeneity in heart failure with DCM, and may be involved in the immune and inflammation response to heart failure.

    Abstract Context: Gastrointestinal symptoms are a common complication of influenza virus infection in children, which the gut-lung axis become involved in its biological progress. The protective effect of 999 XiaoErGanMao granules (XEGMG) on multi-organ injury in viral pneumonia remains unclear.
    Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of XEGMG on lungs and intestines injury in A/FM/1/47 (H1N1) influenza virus-infected mice.
    Materials and methods: Male BALB/c mice were infected with the 2LD
    Results: Treating with XEGMG (12 g/kg) can mitigate body weight loss caused by 2LD
    Discussion and conclusions: XEGMG can protect against H1N1 invasion involved in gut-lung axis regulation. The results provide new evidence for the protective effect of XEGMG, which is beneficial to vulnerable children.

    Abstract Water shortages have become a major problem facing the world today. Membrane separation technology is commonly used in water treatment applications. The development of new materials for water treatment can reduce the energy required for water treatment, reduce cost, and improve efficiency. The unique structure and properties of graphene and silica make them attractive materials for preparation of nanofiltration membranes for water treatment. We have successfully prepared a graphene oxide/silica (GO/SiO₂) hybrid composite materials by in situ hydrolysis, using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a silicon source in an alkaline environment. The chemistry and structure of these materials are characterized by TEM, FTIR, Raman, and XPS of GO and the GO/SiO₂ composite. BET porosimetry reveals that the total pore volume of the composite is 2.84 cm³ g⁻¹, the specific surface area is 2897 m² g⁻¹, and the average pore diameter is 3.97 nm. We prepared GO membranes and GO/SiO₂ composite membranes by vacuum suction filtration. The morphology of the membrane was observed by FESEM and AFM. The composite membrane has a larger surface roughness (Rₘₛ = 9.39). We also tested the thermal stability by TGA, and hydrophilicity by water contact angle measurements. The water permeance of the composite membrane is up to 229.15 L m⁻² h⁻¹ bar⁻¹, and the rejection of the rhodamine B dye molecules is as high as 99%. The GO/SiO₂ hybrid composite membrane has good hydrophilicity and thermal stability, high water permeance and rejection, and can be developed as a high-performance material for water treatment.

    Abstract In the past few decades, due to the rapid development of industry and the rapid growth of population, emissions of pollutants to the environment have increased dramatically, and the demand for drinking water is also increasing. Water treatment is a matter of concern because it is directly related to the health of humans and wildlife. Graphene and its derivatives have potential applications in seawater desalination and wastewater treatment due to their unique pore structure and ionic molecular sieving separation capabilities. Graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) can be formulated into nanoporous materials and composites with tunable properties that can be optimized for water filtration. Methods for perforating graphene include ion etching/ion bombardment and electron beam nanometer engraving, which are briefly introduced in this paper. Graphene-based composites further expand the capabilities of graphene in seawater desalination and wastewater treatment, by introducing new features and properties. In this review, the performance improvement of graphene-based separation membranes in decontamination and desalination in recent years is reviewed in detail. This review focuses on improving the performance of graphene-based membranes for separation, decontamination, and seawater desalination applications, by discussing how various modifications and preparation methods impact important performance properties, including water permeance, selectivity, rejection of solutes, membrane mechanical strength, and antifouling characteristics. We also discuss the outlook for future development of graphene-based membranes.

    Abstract Background: Inflammation is supposed to play a key role in the pathophysiological processes of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IIRI), and Candida albicans in human gut commonly elevates inflammatory cytokines in intestinal mucosa. This study aimed to explore the effect of C. albicans on IIRI.
    Methods: Fifty female Wistar rats were divided into five groups according to the status of C. albicans infection and IIRI operation: group blank and sham; group blank and IIRI; group cefoperazone plus IIRI; group C. albicans plus cefoperazone and IIRI (CCI); and group C. albicans plus cefoperazone and sham. The levels of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-μ, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and diamine oxidase (DAO) measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to evaluate the inflammation reactivity as well as the integrity of small intestine. Histological scores were used to assess the mucosal damage, and the C. albicans blood translocation was detected to judge the permeability of intestinal mucosal barrier.
    Results: The levels of inflammatory factors TNF-μ, IL-6, and IL-1β in serum and intestine were higher in rats undergone both C. albicans infection and IIRI operation compared with rats in other groups. The levels of DAO (serum: 44.13 ± 4.30 pg/ml, intestine: 346.21 ± 37.03 pg/g) and Chiu scores (3.41 ± 1.09) which reflected intestinal mucosal disruption were highest in group CCI after the operation. The number of C. albicans translocated into blood was most in group CCI ([33.80 ± 6.60] ×102 colony forming unit (CFU)/ml).
    Conclusion: Intestinal C. albicans infection worsened the IIRI-induced disruption of intestinal mucosal barrier and facilitated the subsequent C. albicans translocation and dissemination.

    Abstract Three types of graphene oxide/silver nanoparticles (GO/AgNPs) composite membranes were prepared to investigate size-effect of AgNPs on nanofiltration ability. The size of AgNPs was 8, 20, and 33 nm, which was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The morphology and structure of GO and GO/AgNPs composite membranes were characterized by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The filtration performance of membranes were evaluated on a dead-end filtration device. When the size of AgNPs is 20 nm, the GO/AgNPs composite membrane has the highest water flux (106.1 L m
