Summary: Gold nanoclusters can enhance the absorption capabilities of TiO2 as photoelectrodes, but their adsorption also creates additional surface states on the TiO2 surface, leading to complexities in understanding various interfacial phenomena. In this study, an anomalous behavior in hole transfer process was discovered, where the hole scavenging ability of the electrolyte determines the hole-transfer mechanism in the NC-TiO2 system, which is unprecedented in other photoelectrode systems.

Summary: In this study, an iron-doped ZIF-8-loaded multi-walled carbon nanotube (FZM) was synthesized and its adsorption performance on tetracycline (TC) was evaluated. The experimental conditions were optimized using Box-Behnken design (BBD) in response surface methodology (RSM). The results revealed that the optimal adsorption of TC by FZM occurred at a temperature of 298 K, pH of 6, and contact time of 360 min. The adsorption mechanism of TC by FZM was found to involve chemisorption, with a theoretical maximum saturation capacity of 1111.11 mg/g at 298 K. The adsorption of TC by FZM was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The regeneration experiments showed that FZM had excellent reusability with only a 15% loss of adsorption capacity after four cycles.

Summary: HOTAIR is an oncogenic non-coding RNA that is strongly associated with tumor grade and prognosis in various carcinomas, including breast cancer (BC). It regulates target genes through sponging and epigenetic mechanisms and controls oncogenic cellular and signaling mechanisms, such as metastasis and drug resistance. In BC cells, HOTAIR expression is regulated by transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms. This review discusses the regulatory mechanisms of HOTAIR during cancer development and explores its role in BC development, metastasis, and drug resistance. The review also highlights the potential therapeutic applications of HOTAIR in BC management, treatment, and prognosis.

Summary: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in females and is caused by aberrant tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes regulated by transcription factors like NF-cB. NF-cB is a pro-inflammatory factor that significantly affects the expressions of various genes associated with inflammation, cell progression, metastasis, and apoptosis, thus modulating a gene network underlying tumorigenesis. This review focuses on NF-cB signaling pathways, its regulators, and the rationale for targeting NF-cB, as well as the role of transcription factors in promoting angiogenesis and metastasis. Combination therapies, treatment resistance, and potential novel therapeutic strategies such as nanomedicine targeting NF-cB are also discussed.

Summary: In this study, a novel ternary Mg3V2O8@Zn3V2O8@ZnO (MVO@ZVO@ZnO) composite catalyst was synthesized for the photodegradation of Linezolid (LIZ) under visible light. The composite exhibited significantly higher photocatalytic efficiency compared to other catalysts due to synergism between its constituents, narrow bandgap, improved light-harvesting ability, and greater charge-carriers separation and migration. Moreover, the MVO@ZVO@ZnO composite was used as an electrocatalyst to detect small amounts of LIZ in water with a detection limit of -0.33 μM. These findings encourage the development of vanadate-based photocatalysts for environmental decontamination and detection applications.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
