Abstract
This study presents the synthesis of a novel composite catalyst, ZIF-67, doped on sodium bicarbonate-modified biochar derived from kumquat peels (ZIF-67@KSB3), for the enhanced activation of peracetic acid (PAA) in the degradation of acetaminophen (APAP) in aqueous solutions. The composite demonstrated a high degradation efficiency, achieving 94.3% elimination of APAP at an optimal condition of 200 mg L-1 catalyst dosage and 0.4 mM PAA concentration at pH 7. The degradation mechanism was elucidated, revealing that superoxide anion (O2•-) played a dominant role, while singlet oxygen (1O2) and alkoxyl radicals (R-O•) also contributed significantly. The degradation pathways of APAP were proposed based on LC-MS analyses and molecular electrostatic potential calculations, identifying three primary routes of transformation. Stability tests confirmed that the ZIF-67@KSB3 catalyst retained an 86% efficiency in APAP removal after five successive cycles, underscoring its durability and potential for application in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
By directly altering microscopic interactions, pressure provides a powerful tuning knob for the exploration of condensed phases and geophysical phenomena1. The megabar regime represents an interesting frontier, in which recent discoveries include high-temperature superconductors, as well as structural and valence phase transitions2-6. However, at such high pressures, many conventional measurement techniques fail. Here we demonstrate the ability to perform local magnetometry inside a diamond anvil cell with sub-micron spatial resolution at megabar pressures. Our approach uses a shallow layer of nitrogen-vacancy colour centres implanted directly within the anvil7-9; crucially, we choose a crystal cut compatible with the intrinsic symmetries of the nitrogen-vacancy centre to enable functionality at megabar pressures. We apply our technique to characterize a recently discovered hydride superconductor, CeH9 (ref. 10). By performing simultaneous magnetometry and electrical transport measurements, we observe the dual signatures of superconductivity: diamagnetism characteristic of the Meissner effect and a sharp drop of the resistance to near zero. By locally mapping both the diamagnetic response and flux trapping, we directly image the geometry of superconducting regions, showing marked inhomogeneities at the micron scale. Our work brings quantum sensing to the megabar frontier and enables the closed-loop optimization of superhydride materials synthesis.

Abstract
Semiconductor development is a major driving force for global economic growth. However, synchronizing it with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations remains a critical challenge. To gain insight into this, we analyzed SDG-related publications on semiconductors from 2017 to 2022 using the SciVal database. The study found 77,706 documents related to SDGs in the field of semiconductor research, with an overall increase in the number of publications each year. The main focus of these publications was SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), accounting for 68.9 % of the total publication count. Additionally, the results indicate that semiconductors have multifaceted potential in advancing a range of SDGs. From fostering innovations in healthcare (SDG 3), ensuring clean water access (SDG 6), catalyzing transformative industrial growth (SDG 9), to contributing to climate mitigation strategies (SDG 13), semiconductors emerge as versatile drivers of sustainable development. The respective publication percentages for these goals were 7.3 %, 5.9 %, 9.7 %, and 4.4 %, underscoring their capacity to make substantial contributions across various facets of sustainability. It's worth noting that only 2.9 % of these publications stem from academia-industry collaborations. This indicates a pressing need to facilitate collaboration between academia and industry, as such partnerships have the potential to amplify the impact of semiconductor innovations on the SDGs. The novelty of this study lies in its specific exploration through a comprehensive analysis spanning five years, revealing the alignment between semiconductor advancements and the latest SDGs. It uncovers the significance of collaborative ecosystems involving research institutions, businesses, and governments. Through these results, our study addresses a gap in the existing literature and advances semiconductor contributions to the SDGs.

Abstract
Herbs containing aristolochic acids (AAs) have already been proven to be highly carcinogenic and nephrotoxic. In this study, a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) identification method was developed. Ag-APS nanoparticles with a particle size of 3.53 ± 0.92 nm were produced by combining silver nitrate and 3-aminopropylsilatrane. The reaction between the carboxylic acid group of aristolochic acid I (AAI) and amine group of Ag-APS NPs was used to form amide bonds, and thus, concentrate AAI, rendering it easy to detect via SERS and amplified to obtain the best SERS enhancement effect. Detection limit was calculated to be approximately 40 nM. Using the SERS method, AAI was successfully detected in the samples of four Chinese herbal medicines containing AAI. Therefore, this method has a high potential to be applied in the future development of AAI analysis and rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis of AAI in dietary supplements and edible herbs.

Abstract
Formaldehyde has an extremely reactive carbonyl group, commonly used as an antibacterial agent to sterilize and prevent food to spoil. This article describes an efficient and rapid detection method of formaldehyde from an aqueous solution by synthesizing 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) quantum dots (Nano A) which react with formaldehyde to generate a Schiff base reaction. The photoinduced electron transfer produced by the quantum dots themselves results in fluorescence quenching to detect formaldehyde. The detection limit can reach 10-9 M, and it can further be used to detect formaldehyde content in foods, such as baby vegetables, mushrooms, and vermicelli among other daily foods.

Abstract
The adsorption of Pb ions, on high-density polyethylene (PE) microplastics (MPs) with the diameter of 48-500 μm, was examined in this study. According to the Langmuir isotherm, MP of the smallest size, 48 μm, had the greatest adsorption capacity of 0.38 μmol g-1. The mechanism of Pb ions adsorption onto PE MPs was chemical adsorption, in particular, hydrogen bonding and surface complexation. Pb adsorption onto PE particles was proceeded at a rapid rate, as predicted by the pseudo-second-order rate model (R2 > 0.99). The PE 48 μm had the maximum adsorption capacity of 0.44 μmol g-1 (or 0.2 mol m-2) at pH 5. While humic acid can operate as a bridging agent, boosting heavy metal adsorption on the surface of PE MPs, fulvic acid has the reverse effect. The findings indicated that PE particles may serve as a carrier of heavy metals in the aquatic environment, posing perceived risks to the environment and public health.

Abstract
In recent years, the increase of microplastics in the sea exerted a negative impact on coral health. This study has been undertaken to analyze the impact of microplastics on corals. Here, Goniopora columna was exposed to different concentrations of polyethylene microplastics (PE-MP). The daily polyps length and adaptability were recorded. Analysis of the zooxanthellae density and antioxidant activity of coral was done after 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. Further tissue morphology and accumulation of PE-MP were analyzed. The results showed that PE-MP at different concentrations can be adsorbed on the surface of corals and enter inside corals after 7 days. PE-MP at different concentrations reduced polyps length, adaptability and cause the changes in the density of zooxanthellae to be the reason for unbalancing of corals. PE-MP at different concentrations reduced the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity after exposure to 1 day. PE-MP increased the catalase (CAT) activity at 100 mg/L after exposure; even after reducing the concentration has the same effect. PE-MP at various concentrations increased the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity after exposure to 5 and 7 days. It also increased the glutathione transferase (GST) and glutathione (GSH) activity after exposure to 5 and 7 days. PE-MP at different concentrations increased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content after exposure from 1 to 7 days. Analysis of tissue morphology and tissue accumulation shows that different concentrations of PE-MP cause mesenteric atrophy, vacuole, and accumulation in the coral mesenteric. These results indicate that the PE-MP can impact the antioxidant system and hampers the function of enzymes responsible for detoxification of G. columna, increase lipid peroxide content and also cause tissue damage through accumulating in the coral mesenteric.

Abstract
Although the pollution of coral reefs by microplastics (MPs) is an environmental problem of global significance, the effects of MP concentration on scleractinian corals remain largely underexplored. Herein, we exposed a representative scleractinian coral (Goniopora columna) to different concentrations (5-300 mg L-1) of polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs; 40-48 μm) over seven days and evaluated the changes in microbial community and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) using fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy and amplicon sequence variants (ASV). At a PE-MP concentration of 300 mg L-1, the relative abundance of Bacillus (Firmicutes phylum) and Ruegeria (Proteobacteria phylum) in PE-MP-associated EPS increased and decreased, respectively, while the effects of exposure depended on the particle size of the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS)-based matrix and the humification index. Humic- and fulvic-like substances were identified as critical EPS components produced by microbial activity. The results have shed new insights into short-term responses of G. columna during exposure to different PE-MP concentrations and reveal important coral-MP-microbiome interactions in coral reef ecosystems. Results demonstrated that the coral-MPs interactions should be further evaluated to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying ecotoxicological risks.

Extremely soluble Malachite green (MG) acts as potential carcinogen for aquatic life in polluted aqueous environments. Current study aims to modify rice husk derived biochar to improve its removal efficiency for MG from MG-containing wastewaters. The hydrothermal alkali activation was effective for preparing modified biochar (RHMB) from native biochar (RHB) derived from rice husk. After modification, surface area and pore volume of RHMB was determined respectively 434.62 m2g-1 and 287.28 cm3g-1, significantly improved from native RHB values 21.764 m2g-1 and 65.53 cm3g-1. Pseudo second order kinetic model fitted well. RHMB exhibits an equilibrium adsorption capacity of 373.02 mg g-1. RHMB showed an excellent MG removal ability and was not susceptible to ion interference even at highly saline environments. It has exhibited 96.96 ± 1.17% removal efficiency of MG and is expected to be used as potential adsorbent for MG remediation from aquaculture wastewater and other MG containing industrial wastewaters.

Abstract
The growing number of industrial carbon emissions have resulted in a significant increase in the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2), which, in turn, will have a major impact on climate change. Therefore, the reduction, storage, and reuse of CO2 is an important concern in modern society. Calcium oxide (CaO) is known to be an excellent adsorbent of CO2 in a high-temperature environment. However, since deterioration of the adsorbent is likely to occur after repeated cycles of adsorption under high temperature conditions, it would be desirable to mitigate this phenomenon, in order to maintain the stability of CaO. In the present study, common eggshell waste was used as the starting material. The main component of eggshell waste is calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which was purified to produce CaO. Different surfactants and amino-containing polymers were added to synthesize CaO-based adsorbents with different configurations and pore sizes. The amount of CO2 adsorbed was determined using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The results showed that the CO2 adsorption capacity of the synthetic CaO recovered from purified eggshell waste could reach 0.6 g-CO2/g-sorbent, indicating a good adsorption capacity. CaO modified with a dopamine-containing polymer was shown to have an adsorption capacity of 0.62 g-CO2/g-sorbent. Moreover, it showed an excellent adsorption capacity of 0.40 g-CO2/g-sorbent, even after 10 cycles of CO2 adsorption. The present study suggests that using eggshell waste to synthesize CaO-based adsorbents for effective CO2 adsorption can not only reduce environmental waste, but also have the potential to capture greenhouse gas CO2 emissions, which conforms to the principles of green chemistry.

Abstract
A pilot-scale hybrid treatment system consisting of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC), hydrocyclone separator (HS), and sodium persulfate (PS), was employed for removing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from dredged harbor sediments. The effectiveness of PAH degradation was studied by varying the inlet pressure (0-2.0 bar), PS dosage (or Σ[PAH] to [PS] mole ratio of 1:1-1:103) at HS inflow velocity of 2.85 m/s, slurry concentration of 10%, and reaction time of 60 min. The degradation rate of PAH in the overflow (OF) sediment was significantly lower than that of the underflow (UF) sediment. After an inlet pressure increase of 0.5 bar and ΣPAH: [PS] molar ratio of 1: 10, the PAH removal was 87% and 55% in the UF and OF, respectively, by the combined HC-PS-HS unit. Without PS, the PAHs removal was 46% and 40% in the UF and OF, respectively. The removal efficiency for 6-, 5-, 4-, 3-, and 2-ring PAHs was 100%, 93%, 93%, 92%, and 82% in the UF and 55%, 61%, 67%, 47%, and 36% in the OF by the combined HC-PS-HS system. FEEM spectroscopy clarified that aromatic protein-based components (tryptophan- and tyrosine-like combined) were gradually degraded and transformed into soluble microbial metabolites when organic matter content declined during the combined HC-PS-HS treatment. This study provides new insights into the combined HC-PS-HS system for PAH degradation in dredged sediments.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to use agar as a multifunctional encapsulating material to allow drug and ferromagnetism to be jointly delivered in one nanoparticle. We successfully encapsulated both Fe3O4 and doxorubicin (DOX) with agar as the drug carrier to obtain DOX-Fe3O4@agar. The iron oxide nanoparticles encapsulated in the carrier maintained good saturation of magnetization (41.9 emu/g) and had superparamagnetism. The heating capacity test showed that the specific absorption rate (SAR) value was 18.9 ± 0.5 W/g, indicating that the ferromagnetic nanoparticles encapsulated in the gel still maintained good heating capacity. Moreover, the magnetocaloric temperature could reach 43 °C in a short period of five minutes. In addition, DOX-Fe3O4@agar reached a maximum release rate of 85% ± 3% in 56 min under a neutral pH 7.0 to simulate the intestinal environment. We found using fluorescent microscopy that DOX entered HT-29 human colon cancer cells and reduced cell viability by 66%. When hyperthermia was induced with an auxiliary external magnetic field, cancer cells could be further killed, with a viability of only 15.4%. These results show that agar is an efficient multiple-drug carrier, and allows controlled drug release. Thus, this synergic treatment has potential application value for biopharmaceutical carrier materials.

Abstract
Dental compounds and restorative materials undergo surface degradation and erosion from exposure to a variety of dietary substances. In this study we investigated changes in the surface properties of Rebaron, a hard denture reline material (HDRM), following timed immersion in carbonated soft drinks to determine its durability in a common acidic environment. Samples were prepared and immersed in a carbonated soft drink (or its components) for 6, 12, or 24 h. Surface structure and mechanical properties were characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Raman spectroscopy was used to identify changes in the HDRM surface chemistry following exposure to the test solutions. AFM revealed that prolonged exposure led to pit formation and a subsequent increase in surface roughness, from 302.02 ± 30.20 to 430.59 ± 15.07 nm Ra, following a 24 h exposure. Young's modulus values decreased from 9.3 ± 7.0 to 0.53 ± 0.26 GPa under the same conditions, demonstrating a softening and embrittlement of the HDRM sample. Raman results revealed that immersion in the carbonated soft drink or acidic solution changed the nature of the HDRM structure, converting the HDRM surface chemistry from primarily hydrophobic to hydrophilic. Our study indicates that sustainability and durability of Rebaron HDRM are significantly reduced by prolonged exposure to carbonated (acidic) soft drink, resulting in deformation and degradation of the material surface.

Abstract
The development of polydopamine (PDA) coatings with a nanometer-scale thickness on surfaces is highly desirable for exploiting the novel features arising from the specific structure on the molecular level. Exploring the mechanisms of thin-film growth is helpful for attaining desirable control over the useful properties of materials. We present a systematic study demonstrating the growth of a PDA thin film on the surface of mica in consecutive short deposition time intervals. Film growth at each deposition time was monitored through instrumental techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), water contact angle (WCA) analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Film growth was initiated by adsorption of the PDA molecules on mica, with subsequent island-like aggregation, and finally, a complete molecular level PDA film was formed on the surface due to further molecular adsorption. A duration of 60−300 s was sufficient for complete formation of the PDA layer within the thickness range of 0.5−1.1 nm. An outstanding feature of PDA ultrathin films is their ability to act as a molecular adhesive, providing a foundation for constructing functional surfaces. We also explored antimicrobial applications by incorporating Ag nanoparticles into a PDA film. The Ag NPs/PDA film was formed on a surgical blade and then characterized and confirmed by SEM-EDS and XPS. The modified film inhibited bacterial growth by up to 42% on the blade after cutting through a pork meat sample.

Abstract
We used discarded oyster shells to prepare vaterite calcium carbonate microparticles and explored the removal effects and the underlying mechanism toward several heavy metal ions. The removal efficiency for each ion type was: Pb2+ (99.9%), Cr3+ (99.5%), Fe3+ (99.3%), and Cu2+ (57.1%). With the exception of Cu2+, vaterite calcium carbonate particles exhibited excellent removal performance on all tested heavy metal ions, with exceptional results for Pb2+. The factor affecting the removal efficiency of heavy metal ions is shown to involve an ion exchange reaction between calcium and the heavy metal ions resulting in recrystallization. Vaterite calcium carbonate particles prepared by this method have the advantage of low price, easy synthesis, and reduction of environmental waste. Thus, this procedure for synthesizing vaterite CaCO3 provides an environmentally responsible method for preparing materials that can be economically incorporated into common consumer products such as household drinking water filtration systems.

Abstract
For the application of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in lighting and panels, the basic requirement is to include a full spectrum color range. Compared with the development of blue and green luminophores in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) technology, the progress of orange-to-red materials is slow and needs further investigation. In this study, three diboron compound-based materials, dPhADBA, dmAcDBA, and SpAcDBA, were designed and synthesized by nucleophilic arylation of three amine donors on 9,10-diboraanthracene (DBA) in a two-step reaction. With increasing electron-donating ability, they show orange-to-red emission with TADF characteristics. The electroluminescence of these diboron compounds exhibits emissions λmax at 613, 583, and 567 nm for dPhADBA, dmAcDBA, and SpAcDBA, respectively. It is noteworthy that the rod-like D-A-D structures can achieve high horizontal ratios (84-86%) and outstanding device performance for orange-to-red TADF OLEDs: the highest external quantum efficiencies for dPhADBA, dmAcDBA, and SpAcDBA are 11.1 ± 0.5, 24.9 ± 0.5, and 30.0 ± 0.8%, respectively. Therefore, these diboron-based molecules offer a promising avenue for the design of orange-to-red TADF emitters and the development of highly efficient orange-to-red OLEDs.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common type of cancer that originates in the bone and usually occurs in young children. OSA patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery, and the results were disappointing. Marine antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been the focus of antibiotic research because they are resistant to pathogen infection. Piscidin-1 is an AMP from the hybrid striped bass (Morone saxatilis × M. chrysops) and has approximately 22 amino acids. Research has shown that piscidin-1 can inhibit bacterial infections and has antinociception and anti-cancer properties; however, the regulatory effects of piscidin-1 on mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer cells are still unknown. We aimed to identify the effects of piscidin-1 on mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and apoptosis in OSA cells. Our analyses indicated that piscidin-1 has more cytotoxic effects against OSA cells than against lung and ovarian cancer cells; however, it has no effect on non-cancer cells. Piscidin-1 induces apoptosis in OSA cells, regulates mtROS, reduces mitochondrial antioxidant manganese superoxide dismutase and mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and decreases adenosine 5′-triphosphate production, thus leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. The mitochondrial antioxidant, mitoTempo, reduces the apoptosis induced by piscidin-1. Results suggest that piscidin-1 has potential for use in OSA treatment.

Abstract
A direct and efficient hydrothermal system has been established for the synthesis of MoS2 quantum dots (QDs). Novel MoS2 QDs are an excellent potential photocatalysts to enhance photocatalytic response by charge separation under visible light irradiation. The optimum capability of QDs demonstrated the excellent photocatalytic ability for the degradation of organic pollutants. The microstructural, morphological, and optical properties of the MoS2 QDs are defined via X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, HRTEM, XPS, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy techniques. Under visible light irradiation, MoS2 QDs have great photocatalytic response for the degradation of Rh B that is 20 times higher than those of bulk MoS2 materials. The QDs possess practically the same catalytic response after 5 recycle runs, which is an evident proof of its stability. This course might pave the route toward creating current visible-light caused QD photocatalyst strategies for the highly valuable degradation of organic pollutants or antibiotics. The novel MoS2 QDs showed ultrafast degradation towards contaminants and were easy to recycle.![]()

Abstract
Pressure alters the physical, chemical, and electronic properties of matter. The diamond anvil cell enables tabletop experiments to investigate a diverse landscape of high-pressure phenomena. Here, we introduce and use a nanoscale sensing platform that integrates nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers directly into the culet of diamond anvils. We demonstrate the versatility of this platform by performing diffraction-limited imaging of both stress fields and magnetism as a function of pressure and temperature. We quantify all normal and shear stress components and demonstrate vector magnetic field imaging, enabling measurement of the pressure-driven α↔ϵ phase transition in iron and the complex pressure-temperature phase diagram of gadolinium. A complementary NV-sensing modality using noise spectroscopy enables the characterization of phase transitions even in the absence of static magnetic signatures.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of carnosine, an active compound of dietary beef, fish and chicken, on the regulation of cell adhesion and extravasation during metastasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell adhesion and extravasation abilities, and related regulating molecular mechanisms were analyzed in human colorectal cancer cells (HCT-116) and human umbilical vein cells (EA.hy926). RESULTS Carnosine reduced the ability of HCT-116 cells to adhere to EA.hy926 cells. The expression levels of integrin-β1 in HCT-116 cells, as well as of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and E-selectin in EA.hy926 cells, were reduced after carnosine treatment. After EA.hy926 cells were treated with carnosine, phosphorylation of vascular endothelia-cadherin (VE-cadherin), protein levels of Ras homologous (RHO) and RHO-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase, and levels of reactive oxygen species were reduced. After treating EA.hy926 cells with carnosine, phosphorylation of inhibitor of kappa B (IκB) and DNA binding activity of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were reduced. CONCLUSION Carnosine inhibits metastatic cell adhesion and extravasation by suppressing NF-κB signaling activation.

Abstract
We base this study on the concept of drug repositioning to reconstitute the natural product of zingerone as zingerone nanoparticles (zingerone NPs) through a one-pot synthesized process. The as-fabricated zingerone NPs were characterized; they possessed a particle size of 1.42 ± 0.67 nm and a reconstituted structure of zingerone nanotetramer. We further validate the effects of zingerone NPs on the antitumor activity and investigate the relative underlying mechanisms on the human hepatoma SK-Hep-1 and Huh7 cell lines. Our results demonstrated that zingerone NPs significantly inhibit Akt activity and NFκB expression as well as activate the caspases cascade signaling pathway which are involved in the antiproliferation, antitumorigenicity, disturbing cell cycle progression, and induction of DNA damage as well as cell apoptosis. These findings were promising to provide a "Nano-chemoprevention" strategy in future cancer therapeutics and medical and clinical applications.

Abstract
Innate immunity and resistance against Vibrio alginolyticus in white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, that received α-phellandrene were examined. The results indicated that the percent survival of shrimp receiving 4, 8, and 12 μg g-1 α-phellandrene was significantly higher than that of control shrimp after 72 h (p < 0.05). In a separate experiment, the phenoloxidase (PO), respiratory bursts, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and phagocytic and lysozyme activity of L. vannamei receiving 8 and 12 μg g-1 α-phellandrene were significantly higher than those of the other groups upon challenge with V. alginolyticus at 24-60, 36-60, 12-60, 12-72 and 48-72 h, respectively. However, no significant differences in the total haemocyte counts (THC) of L. vannamei receiving any dose of α-phellandrene and of control shrimp were observed at 12-72 h. The expression (mRNA transcripts) of the immune genes prophenoloxidase (proPO), LPS- and β-1,3-glucan-binding protein (LGBP) and peroxinectin (PE) of shrimp receiving α-phellandrene at 8 and 12 μg g-1 significantly increased after challenge with V. alginolyticus for 72 h (p < 0.05). We conclude that the immune ability and resistance against V. alginolyticus infection increased in L. vannamei receiving >4 μg g-1 α-phellandrene. These results indicated that α-phellandrene plays an important role in the innate immunity of white shrimp.

Abstract
Characterizing the local internal environment surrounding solid-state spin defects is crucial to harnessing them as nanoscale sensors of external fields. This is especially germane to the case of defect ensembles which can exhibit a complex interplay between interactions, internal fields, and lattice strain. Working with the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, we demonstrate that local electric fields dominate the magnetic resonance behavior of NV ensembles at a low magnetic field. We introduce a simple microscopic model that quantitatively captures the observed spectra for samples with NV concentrations spanning more than two orders of magnitude. Motivated by this understanding, we propose and implement a novel method for the nanoscale localization of individual charges within the diamond lattice; our approach relies upon the fact that the charge induces a NV dark state which depends on the electric field orientation.

Abstract
Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) plays a critical role in tumor cell proliferation, anti-apoptosis, VEGF expression, lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis in human gastric cancer. Gastric cancer, as one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world for the prognosis of gastric cancer is generally poor, especially in patients with advanced stage. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection causes the chronic inflammation of stomach as well as the development of gastric cancer, with a three to six-fold increased risk of gastric cancer. Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are myofibroblasts in tumor microenvironment, which possess various abilities to promote the progression of cancer by stimulating neoangiogenesis, proliferation, migration, invasion and therapy resistance of tumor cell. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are reported to promote tumor malignance through differentiation of MSCs toward CAFs. In the present study, we demonstrated that H. pylori infection promotes HDGF expression in human gastric cancer cells. HBMMSCs treated with HDGF assume properties of CAF-like myofibroblastic phenotypes, including expression of myofibroblast markers (α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), procollagen α1, tropomyoson I, desmin, fibroblast activation protein (FAP)), and fibroblast markers (prolyl-4-hydroxylase A1 (PHA1) and fibroblast specific protein-1 (FSP-1)/S100A4). HDGF recruits HBMMSCs, and then HBMMSCs further contributes to cell survival and invasive motility in human gastric cancer cells. Treatment of HDGF neutralizing antibody (HDGF-NAb) and serum significantly inhibit HDGF-regulated differentiation and recruitment of HBMMSCs. These findings suggest that HDGF might play a critical role in gastric cancer progress through stimulation of HBMMSCs differentiation to myofibroblast-like cells.

Abstract
We have prepared and tested a new surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on self-assembled graphitic sheets to detect bisphenol A (BPA) in plastic consumer goods. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic-force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the structure of the graphitic sheets and showed a lattice spacing of 0.24 nm and layer height of 0.34 nm. These values were comparable to single monolayer graphene. The effective SERS detection limit of this method is 1 μM BPA, which is lower than the European Union specific migration limit for BPA of 0.6 mg/kg (2.6 μM). When used in salt solutions, graphitic sheets exhibited ultra-sensitivity toward BPA of 0.025 M to 2 M, which was broader than physiological ionic strength (0.14 M) and urinary NaCl (0.17 M). Our results demonstrated that this graphitic sheet based SERS detection platform can be used to determine BPA levels leached from commercial polycarbonate plastic products and for on-site rapid analysis with good results.

Abstract
Cells reorganize their membrane biomechanical dynamics in response to environmental stimuli or inhibitors associated with their physiological/pathological processes, and disease therapeutics. To validate the biophysical dynamics during cell exposure to anti-cancer drugs, we investigate the nanoscale biological characterization in melanoma cells undergoing cisplatin treatment. Using atomic force microscopy, we demonstrate that the cellular morphology and membrane ultrastructure are altered after exposure to cisplatin. In contrast to their normal spindle-like shape, cisplatin causes cell deformation rendering cells flat and enlarged, which increases the cell area by 3-4 fold. Additionally, cisplatin decreases the topography height values for both the cytoplasmic and nuclear regions (by 40-80% and 60%, respectively). Furthermore, cisplatin increases the cytoplasmic root mean square roughness by 110-240% in correlation with the drug concentration and attenuates the nuclear RMS by 60%. Moreover, the cellular adhesion force was enhanced, while the Young's modulus elasticity was attenuated by ∼2 and ∼2.3 fold, respectively. F-actin phalloidin staining revealed that cisplatin enlarges the cell size through enhanced stress fiber formation and promotes cytoskeletal reorganization. Immunoblot analyses further revealed that the activities of focal adhesion proteins, such as FAK and c-Src, are upregulated by cisplatin through phosphorylation at tyrosine 397 and 530, respectively. Collectively, these results show that cisplatin-treated melanoma cells not only exhibit the upregulation of FAK-mediated signaling to enhance the cytoskeleton mechanical stretch, but also promote the cytoskeletal rearrangement resulting in 43% decrease in the cell modulus. These mechanisms thus promote the malignancy and invasiveness of the melanoma cells.

Abstract
Accumulation of amyloid fibrils is one of the likely key factors leading to the development of Alzheimer's disease and other amyloidosis associated diseases. Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed as promising medical materials for many medical applications. In this study, we have explored the effects of Fe3O4 NPs on the fibrillogenesis process of insulin fibrils. When Fe3O4 NPs were co-incubated with insulin, Fe3O4 NPs had no effect on the structural transformation into amyloid-like fibrils but had higher affinity toward insulin fibrils. We demonstrated that the zeta potential of insulin fibrils and Fe3O4 NPs were both positive, suggesting the binding forces between Fe3O4 NPs and insulin fibrils were van der Waals forces but not surface charge. Moreover, a different amount of Fe3O4 NPs added had no effect on secondary structural changes of insulin fibrils. These results propose the potential use of Fe3O4 NPs as therapeutic agents against diseases related to protein aggregation or contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of the Panax notoginseng ethanol extract (PNEE) on the regulation of human colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis. The migratory, invasive, and adhesive abilities and the expression of metastasis-associated regulatory molecules in cultured human CRC cells (HCT-116) treated with the PNEE were analyzed in this study. The migratory and invasive abilities of HCT-116 cells were reduced after PNEE treatment. The incubation of HCT-116 cells with the PNEE for 24 h decreased MMP-9 expression and increased E-cadherin expression compared with the control group. The adhesion reaction assay indicated that treatment with the PNEE led to significantly decreased HCT-116 adhesion to endothelial cells (EA.hy926 cells). The integrin-1 protein levels in HCT-116 cells were significantly decreased following treatment with the PNEE. Similarly, the protein levels of E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were significantly decreased by treatment of the EA.hy926 endothelial cells with PNEE. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination indicated that HCT-116 cells treated with LPS combined with the PNEE had a less flattened and retracted shape compared with LPS-treated cells, and this change in shape was found to be a phenomenon of extravasation invasion. The transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) of the EA.hy926 endothelial cell monolayer increased after incubation with the PNEE for 24 h. A cell-cell permeability assay indicated that HCT-116 cells treated with the PNEE displayed significantly reduced levels of phosphorylated VE-cadherin (p-VE-cadherin). These results demonstrate the antimetastatic properties of the PNEE and show that the PNEE affects cells by inhibiting cell migration, invasion, and adhesion and regulating the expression of metastasis-associated signaling molecules.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Behavioural/functional disturbances, characteristic of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), are also a feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and patients with combined ALS and FTD (FTD-ALS). AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the progression of behavioural disturbances in ALS and FTD using the FTD functional rating scale (FTDFRS). METHODS Patients with ALS, FTD-ALS and FTD were recruited from specialist clinics. Baseline assessments included the FTDFRS and the ALS functional rating scale-revised (ALSFRS-R). Baseline assessments were included, as were longitudinal assessments in a proportion of patients. RESULTS In total, 21 ALS, 12 FTD-ALS and 14 behavioural variant FTD (bvFTD) patients were included in the study. Moderate or severe behavioural disturbance was common in patients with ALS at baseline (47.6%), although less frequent than in bvFTD patients; patients with FTD-ALS displayed intermediate impairment. The ALSFRS-R showed the opposite pattern and did not correlate with the FTDFRS. During the follow-up period, significant (P < 0.05) behavioural deterioration was demonstrated in patients with bvFTD and FTD-ALS, with a trend for decline in patients with ALS (P = 0.06). CONCLUSION Motor disturbance is the primary marker of disease severity in ALS, but behavioural and functional impairment are common, and may decline independently of motor function. As such, the FTDFRS may provide valuable information in the assessment and monitoring of ALS.

Abstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are known to exhibit toxic effects on a variety of cell types and organs. To determine the oxidative impact of CuO NPs on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, well-differentiated (HepG2) and poorly differentiated (SK-Hep-1) cells were exposed to CuO NPs. Cell viability assay showed that the median inhibition concentration (IC50) for SK-Hep-1 and HepG2 cells was 25 μg ml(-1) and 85 μg ml(-1), respectively. Cellular fluorescence intensity using DCFH-DA staining analysis revealed significant intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation of up to 242% in SK-Hep-1 cells, compared with 86% in HepG2 cells. HPLC analysis demonstrated that a CuO NP treatment caused cellular GSH depletion of 58% and a GSH/GSSG ratio decrease to ∼0.1 in SK-Hep-1 cells. The oxidative stress caused by enhanced superoxide anion production was observed in both HepG2 (146%) and SK-Hep-1 (192%) cells. The Griess assay verified that CuO NPs induced NO production (170%) in SK-Hep-1 cells. Comet assay and western blot further demonstrated that CuO NPs induced severe DNA strand breakage (70%) in SK-Hep-1 cells and caused DNA damage via increased γ-H2AX levels. These results suggest that well-differentiated HepG2 cells possess a robust antioxidant defense system against CuO NP-induced ROS stress and exhibit more tolerance to oxidative stress. Conversely, poorly differentiated SK-Hep-1 cells exhibited a deregulated antioxidant defense system that allowed accumulation of CuO NP-induced ROS and resulted in severe cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies demonstrate that the incidence and mortality of gastric cancer in women are lower than in men worldwide. Many studies have reported the delayed menopause and hormone replacement therapy are associated with a reduced risk for gastric cancer. It has been reported that endogenous estrogen lowers gastric cancer incidence in women, and cancer patients treated with estrogens have a lower subsequent risk of gastric cancer. It has been reported that estrogen decreases the progression of gastric cancer by inhibiting erbB-2 oncogene expression. Overexpression of estrogen receptor might inhibit the proliferation and invasion of MKN28 gastric cancer cells. Accumulating evidence suggests that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells contribute to the progression of gastric cancer. However, it is unknown if 17β-estradiol (E2) treatment is sufficient to inhibit human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMMSCs)-mediated cell motility in human gastric cancer cells. The results from human cytokine arrays have shown that HBMMSCs notably secrete interleukin 6 (IL-6) protein. Administration of IL-6-specific neutralizing antibody significantly inhibits HBMMSCs-mediated motility activity in human gastric cancer cells. Treatment of recombinant IL-6 soluble protein confirmed the role of IL-6 in mediating HBMMSCs-upregulated cell motility. IL-6 mainly upregulates motility activity via activation of Src signaling pathway in human gastric cancer cells. We further observed that E2 treatment inhibits HBMMSCs-induced cellular motility via suppressing the activation of IL-6-Src/Cas/paxillin signaling pathway in human gastric cancer cells. Collectively, these results suggest that E2 treatment significantly inhibits HBMMSCs-induced cellular motility in human gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
Calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) use may lead to allograft injury and compromised renal function. Gene expression profiles of 12-month kidney biopsies from a Phase 3 study of belatacept and a CNI comparator, cyclosporine (CsA), were compared with expression profiles of a set of historical, demographically matched, preimplantation control biopsies. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to test each set of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for the enrichment of an in vitro-derived CNI toxicity (CNIT) gene set and published gene sets associated with chronic allograft injury (CAI), immune modulation and tissue remodeling. The unique set of genes differentially expressed in CNI biopsies compared with preimplantation controls was enriched for genes associated with fibrosis, early tubulointerstitial damage and in vitro CNIT. The DEGs from belatacept biopsies were not enriched for the CNIT genes but, instead, exhibited enrichment for gene sets associated with immune response and tissue remodeling. A combined analysis of DEGs across both treatment groups identified select solute transporter and cellular differentiation genes whose expression at 12 months correlated with renal function at 36 months. These results provide mechanistic insights into the reduced CAI and higher renal function observed in belatacept- versus CsA-treated patients.
