Summary: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) core/shell composite nanofibrous membranes (CNMs) were prepared using coaxial electrospinning. These membranes exhibit a large surface area and abundant reactive sites, allowing for excellent photocatalytic degradation of phenol in a liquid phase. The PVDF/TiO2 CNM showed enhanced photocatalytic activity under UV irradiation due to the piezo-potential field generated on the PVDF core-fibers.

Summary: In this study, non-toxic composite nanofibers were fabricated by incorporating controlled amounts of boron nitride (BN) nanosheets (5 %), titanium oxide (TiO2) nanofibers, and halloysite nanotubes (HNT). The aim was to obtain an efficient catalyst for acetaminophen (ACT) degradation. The results showed that the BN/TiO2/HNT nanocomposite degraded over 98% of acetaminophen after 3 hours of visible light irradiation. The composite also maintained its degradation rate after five cycles and OH center dot-, O2 center dot-, and h+ were found to play major roles in the degradation process.

Summary: This study fabricates PVDF hollow fibers with adjustable wall thickness by using coaxial electrospinning. Simulation analysis shows that enlarging the inner diameter of the hollow fiber increases its effective deformation, resulting in enhanced piezoelectric output, which is consistent with the experimental results. This study is the first to reveal the influence mechanism of morphology regulation on the piezoelectric performance of PVDF hollow fibers from both simulation and experimental aspects. The optimal PVDF hollow fiber piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) delivers a piezoelectric output voltage of 32.6 V, approximately 3 times that of the solid PVDF fiber PEH. Furthermore, the electrical output of the hollow fiber PEH can be stably stored in secondary energy storage systems to power microelectronics. This study provides an efficient approach for reconciling simulation and tailoring fiber PEH morphology to enhance performances for future self-powered systems.

Summary: Recently, the Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium Vibrio anguillarum has become a major obstacle to the turbot aquaculture industry due to its global distribution, wide host range, and potential devastating impacts. This study conducted comprehensive analyses of whole-transcriptome sequencing in turbot liver infected by V. anguillarum and found differential expression of circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs. Interaction pairs between miRNA-circRNA and miRNA-mRNA were predicted and circRNA-related ceRNA regulatory networks were constructed. The study identified novel target genes for disease prevention and control in turbot.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and underlying causes of 551 hospitalized children with recurrent pneumonia from January 2016 to January 2021 at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University. The majority (87.7%) of the children had underlying causes, with recurrent aspiration, primary immunodeficiency, and congenital heart diseases being the most common. Genetic defects were identified in about a quarter of the patients. Primary immunodeficiency, primary ciliary dyskinesia, bronchiolitis obliterans, and the age of >3 years at diagnosis were risk factors for severe outcomes. Aspiration and an abnormal family history were risk factors for rehospitalization.
