Abstract
We have found recently that two-step intrinsic hydroxyl radical (·OH)-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) could be produced by carcinogenic tetrahaloquinone and H2O2. However, the first-step CL was too fast to clearly detect the stepwise generation of ·OH and CL, and to distinguish the exact dividing point between the first-step and second-step CL. Here we found that, extremely clear two-step intrinsic CL could be produced by the relative slow reaction of tetrabromohydroquinone (TBHQ) with H2O2, which was directly dependent on the two-step ·OH generation. Interestingly, the second-step, but not the first-step CL production of TBHQ/H2O2 (CRET donor) was markedly enhanced by fluorescein (a typical xanthene dye, CRET acceptor) through a unique chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) process. The novel CRET system of TBHQ/H2O2/fluorescein was successfully applied for the sensitive detection of TBHQ with the detection limit as low as 2.5 µmol/L. These findings will help to develop more sensitive and highly efficient CL or CRET systems and specific CL sensor to detect the carcinogenic haloquinones, which may have broad environmental applications.

Abstract
The development of highly reusable, affordable, and durable photocatalysts for the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) remained a challenge. In this study, a homojunction photocatalyst (SPGCN) is constructed between phosphorylated g-C3N4 (PCN) and sulfur self-doped g-C3N4 (SCN) using a simple wet impregnation method. Later, the obtained SPGCN homojunction is transformed into hydrogel beads using carboxymethyl cellulose via an effective cross-linking strategy (SPGCN/CMC). The photocatalytic beads displayed a phenomenal H2O2 production of 3.5 mM under visible light illumination for 60 min. The SPGCN/CMC hydrogel beads showed a maximum reusability of 10 cycles with a decline of 1.5 mM H2O2 production. The improved photocatalytic efficiency is indicated by strengthened utilization of visible light via tuning of the band gap, suppressed recombination of electron-hole pairs, and higher separation efficiency through the effective construction of Z-scheme between the phosphorylated carbon nitride and the sulfur-self-doped carbon nitride present in the SPGCN/CMC beads. The mechanistic studies affirmed the dominant role of superoxide radicals in H2O2 production. The photocatalytic H2O2 production followed a highly selective two-electron reduction reaction. Overall, this study highlights the efficient engineering of carbon nitride-based materials towards artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Achieving O2 photoreduction to H2O2 with high selectivity control and durability while using easily accessible catalyst requires new synthesis strategies. Herein, we propose an asymmteric Sb coordination active center strategy of introducing anthraquinone (AQ) and heptazine to form local N3 - Sb - O coordination by a rapid and simple explosive crystallization approach, resulting in a mesoporous conjugated heptazine-amide-AQ polymer coordinated Sb (HAAQ-Sb). It is demonstrated that the N3 - Sb - O coordination effectively suppresses the charge recombination and acts as the highly active site for O2 adsorption. Moreover, as-introduced AQ units initiate low-barrier hydrogen transfer through a reversible redox process that triggers highly-efficient H2O2 production. A superior apparent quantum yield of 20.2 % at 400 nm and a remarkable solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.71 % are achieved on the optimal HAAQ-Sb, which is the highest among C3N4-based photocatalysts at present. This asymmetric coordination concept and material design method provide new perspectives for the research of novel catalysts toward artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
The efficacy of an in-package microbial inactivation method, combining H2O2 and atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma (ADCP) treatments (H2O2-ADCP), in reducing contamination of Brassica oleracea (cabbage) slices was investigated. Cabbage slices were placed in a polyethylene terephthalate container with a H2O2-soaked polypropylene pad attached to the inside of the lid, followed by subjecting the closed container to ADCP treatment. The H2O2-ADCP treatment inactivated Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes, resulting in reductions of 1.8 and 2.0 log CFU/g, respectively, which were greater than the sum of the inactivation effects observed with each individual treatment. The combined treatment decreased the count of Bacillus cereus spores and indigenous bacteria by 1.0 log spores/g and 1.3 log CFU/g, respectively. Moreover, the in-package method did not alter the moisture content or texture of cabbage slices. These results demonstrate the potential of H2O2-ADCP as a microbial decontamination method for packaged cabbage slices.

Abstract
Rapid and precise detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) holds great significance since it is linked to numerous physiological and inorganic catalytic processes. We herein developed a label-free and washing-free strategy to detect H2O2 by employing a hand-held personal glucose meter (PGM) as a signal readout device. By focusing on the fact that the reduced redox mediator ([Fe(CN)6]4-) itself is responsible for the final PGM signal, we developed a new PGM-based strategy to detect H2O2 by utilizing the target H2O2-mediated oxidation of [Fe(CN)6]4- to [Fe(CN)6]3- in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and monitoring the reduced PGM signal in response to the target amount. Based on this straightforward and facile design principle, H2O2 was successfully determined down to 3.63 μM with high specificity against various non-target molecules. We further demonstrated that this strategy could be expanded to identify another model target choline by detecting H2O2 produced through its oxidation promoted by choline oxidase. Moreover, we verified its practical applicability by reliably determining extracellular H2O2 released from the breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. This work could evolve into versatile PGM-based platform technology to identify various non-glucose target molecules by employing their corresponding oxidase enzymes, greatly advancing the portable biosensing technologies.

Abstract
This study was intended to investigate whether Hericium erinaceus polysaccharides (HEP) prevent oxidative stress and apoptosis of intestinal porcine epithelial cells from jejunum (IPEC-J2 cells) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Crude HEP were extracted and purified by chromatography. The ultraviolet and infrared spectra and monosaccharide composition of HEP were analyzed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was quantified by flow cytometry method, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) production were determined by TBARS. Also, apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry method and the apoptosis-related regulatory molecules were determined by microplate or western blotting method. Our results showed that pretreatment of IPEC-J2 cells with HEP significantly scavenged ROS and reduced LDH and MDA production. HEP also reduced apoptosis and kept polarity of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Moreover, HEP increased the content of caspase-3 and PARP, and protein expression of Bcl-2, while inhibited Bax and Bad and reduced the content of caspase-9 and release of CytC. Meanwhile, HEP inhibited the protein expression of TNFR1, FAS, and FASL, and decreased the content of caspase-8. The results indicated that HEP had a protective effect against oxidative stress in IPEC-J2 cells and the underlying mechanism was reducing apoptosis via mitochondrial and death receptor pathways.

Abstract
We herein describe a novel electrochemical strategy to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by utilizing the peroxidase-mimicking activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NP) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Particularly, CeO2 NP/rGO nanocomposites were deposited on the commercial electrode by a very convenient and direct electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide. Due to the peroxidase-mimicking activity of CeO2 NP and the outstanding electrochemical properties of reduced graphene oxide, the reduction current of H2O2 was greatly enhanced. Based on this strategy, we reliably determined H2O2 down to 1.67 μM with excellent specificity and further validated its practical capabilities by robustly detecting H2O2 present in heterogeneous human serum samples. We believe that this work could serve as a new facile platform for H2O2 detection.

Abstract
In situ photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 for disinfection has attracted widespread attention because it is a clean and environmentally friendly sterilization method. Graphitic carbon nitride has been used as a very selective photocatalyst for H2O2 generation but has some limitations (e.g., insufficient light absorption, rapid electron-hole recombination, and slow direct two-electron reduction processes) that prevent efficient H2O2 production. In this study, potassium-doped graphite carbon nitride with nitrogen vacancies (NDKCN) was prepared using a simple method involving a thermal fusion salt and N2 calcination, which possessed an ultrathin nanosheet structure (1.265 nm) providing abundant active sites. Synergistic effects caused by nitrogen vacancies and K+ and I- doping in the NDKCN photocatalyst gave the NDKCN a good ability to absorb light, undergo fast charge transfer, and give a high photoelectric current response. The optimized photocatalytic H2O2 yield of the NDKCN was 780.1 μM·g-1·min-1, which was 10 times the yield of the pristine g-C3N4. Tests involving quenching reactive species, electron spin resonance, and rotating disk electrodes indicated that one-step two-electron direct reduction on the NDKCN caused excellent H2O2 generation performance. The ability to efficiently generate H2O2 in situ gave NDKCN an excellent bactericidal performance, and 7.3 log10 (colony-forming units·mL-1) of Escherichia coli were completely eliminated within 80 min. Scanning electron microscopy images before and after sterilization indicated the changes in bacteria caused by the catalytic activity. The new g-C3N4-based photocatalyst and similar rationally designed photocatalysts with doping and defects offer efficient and simple in situ H2O2 sterilization.

Abstract
This study proposes an integrated approach that combines ion-exchange (IX) and electrochemical technologies to tackle problems associated with PFAS contamination. Our investigation centers on evaluating the recovery and efficiency of IX/electrochemical systems in the presence of five different salts, spanning dosages from 0.1 % to 8 %. The outcomes reveal a slight superiority for NaCl within the regeneration system, with sulfate and bicarbonate also showing comparable efficacy. Notably, the introduction of chloride ion (Cl-) into the electrochemical system results in substantial generation of undesirable chlorate (ClO3-) and perchlorate (ClO4-) by-products, accounting for ∼18 % and ∼81 % of the consumed Cl-, respectively. Several agents, including H2O2, KI, and Na2S2O3, exhibited effective mitigation of ClO3- and ClO4- formation. However, only H2O2 demonstrated a favorable influence on the degradation and defluorination of PFOA. The addition of 0.8 M H2O2 resulted in the near-complete removal of ClO3- and ClO4-, accompanied by 1.3 and 2.2-fold enhancements in the degradation and defluorination of PFOA, respectively. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of different salts in the electrochemical system reveals that Cl- and OH- ions exhibit slower performance, possibly due to competitive interactions with PFOA on the anode's reactive sites. In contrast, sulfate and bicarbonate salts consistently demonstrate robust decomposition efficiencies. Despite the notable enhancement in IX regeneration efficacy facilitated by the presence of methanol, particularly for PFAS-specific resins, this enhancement comes at the cost of reduced electrochemical decomposition of all PFAS. The average decay rate ratio of all PFAS in the presence of 50 % methanol, compared to its absence, falls within the range of 0.11-0.39. In conclusion, the use of 1 % Na2SO4 salt stands out as a favorable option for the integrated IX/electrochemical process. This choice not only eliminates the need to introduce an additional chemical (e.g., H2O2) into the wastewater stream, but also ensures both satisfactory regeneration recovery and efficiency in the decomposition process through electrochemical treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a biomarker relevant for oxidative stress monitoring. Most chronic airway diseases are characterized by increased oxidative stress. To date, the main methods for the detection of this analyte are expensive and time-consuming laboratory techniques such as fluorometric and colorimetric assays. There is a growing interest in the development of electrochemical sensors for H2O2 detection due to their low cost, ease of use, sensitivity and rapid response. In this work, an electrochemical sensor based on gold nanowire arrays has been developed. Thanks to the catalytic activity of gold against hydrogen peroxide reduction and the high surface area of nanowires, this sensor allows the quantification of this analyte in a fast, efficient and selective way. The sensor was obtained by template electrodeposition and consists of gold nanowires about 5 μm high and with an average diameter of about 200 nm. The high active surface area of this electrode, about 7 times larger than a planar gold electrode, ensured a high sensitivity of the sensor (0.98 μA μM-1cm-2). The sensor allows the quantification of hydrogen peroxide in the range from 10 μM to 10 mM with a limit of detection of 3.2 μM. The sensor has excellent properties in terms of reproducibility, repeatability and selectivity. The sensor was validated by quantifying the hydrogen peroxide released by human airways A549 cells exposed or not to the pro-oxidant compound rotenone. The obtained results were validated by comparing them with those obtained by flow cytometry after staining the cells with the fluorescent superoxide-sensitive Mitosox Red probe giving a very good concordance.

Abstract
The secondary outbreak of cyanobacteria after algicide treatment has been a serious problem to water ecosystems. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an algaecide widely used in practice, but similar re-bloom problems are inevitably encountered. Our work found that Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) temporarily hibernates after H2O2 treatment, but there is still a risk of secondary outbreaks. Interestingly, the dormant period was as long as 20 and 28 days in 5 mg L-1 and 20 mg L-1 H2O2 treatment groups, respectively, but the photosynthetic activity was both restored much earlier (within 14 days). Subsequently, a quantitative imaging flow cytometry-based method was constructed and confirmed that the re-bloom had undergone two stages including first recovery and then re-division. The expression of ftsZ and fabZ genes showed that M. aeruginosa had active transcription processes related to cell division protein and fatty acid synthesis during the dormancy stat. Furthermore, metabolomics suggested that the recovery of M. aeruginosa was mainly by activating folate and salicylic acid synthesis pathways, which promoted environmental stress resistance, DNA synthesis, and cell membrane repair. This study reported the comprehensive mechanisms of secondary outbreak of M. aeruginosa after H2O2 treatment. The findings suggest that optimizing the dosage and frequency of H2O2, as well as exploring the potential use of salicylic acid and folic acid inhibitors, could be promising directions for future algal control strategies.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2), as a reliable signaling biomolecule for oxidative stress, its accurate detection during agent-stimulated oxidative stress plays a vital role in pathological and physiological mechanism exploration for disease theranostics. It's necessary to develop an efficient method for their detection. In view of the advantages of fluorescent probes, we rationally constructed a novel fluorescent probe Compound 2 based on 4-(Bromomethyl)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester_Herein, a small molecule fluorescent probe was fabricated using isoflore nitrile as fluorescent group, phenylboronic acid pinacol ester as the response group, to detect H2O2. The probe Compound 2 has a strong fluorescence intensity at 575 nm, indicating that the structure of the probe molecule is reasonably designed, and the Stokes shift is up to 172 nm. While the detection time is as low as 30 s and the LOD of the probe for H2O2 is as low as 3.7 μmol/L,the quantum yield is Φ = 40.31 %. It has been successfully used for imaging detection of H2O2 in HepG2 cells and zebrafish for its low toxicity. It can be found that this small molecule fluorescent probe can identify H2O2 in tumor cells significantly and efficiently, which would realize the early diagnosis of tumor.

Abstract
The key to constructing an anodic electro-Fenton system hinges on two pivotal criteria: enhancing the catalyst activity and selectivity in water oxidation reaction (WOR), while simultaneously inhibiting the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) which is on-site electrosynthesized at the anode. To address the issues, we synthesized novel WO3/SnO2-x electrocatalysts, enriched with oxygen vacancies, capitalize on the combined activity and selectivity advantages of both WO3 and SnO2-x for the two-electron pathway electrocatalytic production of H2O2. Moreover, the introduction of oxygen vacancies plays a critical role in impeding the decomposition of H2O2. This innovative design ensures that the Faraday efficiency and yield of H2O2 are maintained at over 80 %, with a noteworthy production rate of 0.2 mmol h-1 cm-2. We constructed a novel electro-Fenton system that operates using only H2O as its feedstock and applied it to treat highly toxic uniform dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) from rocket launch effluent. Our experiments revealed a substantial total organic carbon (TOC) removal, achieving approximately 90 % after 120 mins of treatment. Additionally, the toxicity of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a byproduct of great concern, was shown to be effectively mitigated, as evidenced by acute toxicity evaluations using zebrafish embryos. The degradation mechanism of UDMH is predominantly characterized by the advanced oxidative action of H2O2 and hydroxyl radicals, as well as by complex electron transfer processes that warrant further investigation.

Abstract
A significant compound in living organisms, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a dual role as a signalling molecule in cellular communication and as a pivotal biomarker in assessing disease and oxidative stress. Thus, the detection of abnormal changes in H2O2 levels is essential to understanding its function and involvement in biological systems. The growing demand to meet the specific needs for applications, particularly in biological systems, has sharpened focus on highly sensitive, highly selective molecular sensors and, in turn, heightened interest in these diagnostic tools with innovative designs. In our study, 2-aminophenalenone (2-AP) was used for the first time as a fluorophore in a fluorescent probe. The 2-APB molecule obtained from the reaction of 2-AP with 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl) benzyl chloroformate exhibited a highly selective and sensitive (i.e. 62 nM) detection profile for H2O2 compared with the other reactive oxygen species, anions, and metal cations. Moreover, offering naked-eye detection in aqueous solutions, 2-APB demonstrated excellent sensing performance, detection and real-time monitoring in relation to exogenous H2O2 in cells and endogenous H2O2 in zebrafish embryos.

Abstract
We obviously agree with Wu et al. that H2O2 might accumulate in the Archean land waters devoid of Fe2+. We do disagree on the topic of the half-life of H2O2, as the work cited in support for a longer half-live is not relevant to the conditions in the Archean ocean. While the existence of radicals in quartz is not in doubt, we do question the hypothesis that these radicals oxidize water to HO• and H2O2.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] is implicated in various processes, including hormone-induced signal transduction, endocytosis, and exocytosis in the plasma membrane. However, how H2O2 accumulation regulates the levels of PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the plasma membrane in cells stimulated with epidermal growth factors (EGFs) is not known. We show that a plasma membrane PtdIns(4,5)P2-degrading enzyme, synaptojanin (Synj) phosphatase, is inactivated through oxidation by H2O2. Intriguingly, H2O2 inhibits the 4-phosphatase activity of Synj but not the 5-phosphatase activity. In EGF-activated cells, the oxidation of Synj dual phosphatase is required for the transient increase in the plasma membrane levels of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PtdIns(4)P], which can control EGF receptor-mediated endocytosis. These results indicate that intracellular H2O2 molecules act as signaling mediators to fine-tune endocytosis by controlling the stability of plasma membrane PtdIns(4)P, an intermediate product of Synj phosphoinositide dual phosphatase.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the efficacy of simulated brushing with toothpastes containing different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (HP) in pulp chamber penetration and color change. Also, physical-chemical properties (concentration, pH and viscosity) were evaluated. METHODS Forty-nine premolars were divided into seven groups (n = 7): untreated (control); whitening gel (White Class 6 %, 6 %BG) with one 90 min application (6 %BG 90 min) and 14 applications of 90 min (6 %BG 14×90 min); toothpastes (Colgate Luminous White Glow 3 %, 3 %TP; Crest 3D White Brilliance 4 %, 4 %TP; Colgate Optic White Pro-Series 5 %, 5 %TP) and 6 %BG toothbrushing for 14 applications of 90 s. HP penetration into the pulp chamber was measured through UV-Vis spectrophotometry and color change with a spectrophotometer (ΔEab, ΔE00, and ΔWID). Initial concentration, pH, and viscosity were measured through Titration, Digital pH-meter, and Rheometer, respectively. Statistical analysis used one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). RESULTS 6 %BG (14×90 min) and 4 %TP groups showed acidic pH and higher concentrations of HP in the pulp chamber compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). On the other side, 3 %TP and 5 %TP groups showed alkaline pH, higher viscosity between the toothpastes and lower HP penetration (p < 0.05). The 6 %BG AH (14×90 min) group exhibited the most significant color change (ΔEab, ΔE00, and ΔWID) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Brushing with whitening toothpaste with an acidic pH leads to greater HP penetration into pulp chamber; but, even when a high concentrated HP whitening toothpaste was used, a lower whitening effect was observed when compared to a two-week at-home bleaching. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Whitening toothpastes containing up to 5 % HP produced lower whitening effect than two-week at-home bleaching. Additionally, HP was detected within the pulp chamber which can potentially impact in tooth sensitivity.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) naturally occurring at low levels in aquatic environments and production varies widely across different ecosystems. Oxygenic photosynthesis generates hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct, of which some portion can be released to ambient water. However, few studies have examined hydrogen peroxide dynamics in relation to cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs). A year-long investigation of algal succession and hydrogen peroxide dynamics was conducted at the Caloosahatchee River, Florida, USA. We aimed to identify potential biological mechanisms responsible for elevated hydrogen peroxide production during cHAB events through the exploration of the freshwater microbial metatranscriptome. Hydrogen peroxide concentrations were elevated from February to September of 2021 when cyanobacteria were active and abundant. We observed one Microcystis cHAB event in spring and one in winter. Both had distinct nutrient uptake and cyanotoxin gene expression patterns. While meaningful levels of microcystin were only detected during periods of elevated hydrogen peroxide, cyanopeptolin was by far the most expressed cyanotoxin during the spring bloom when hydrogen peroxide was at its yearly maxima. Gene expressions of five microbial enzymes (Rubisco, superoxide dismutase, cytochrome b559, pyruvate oxidase, and NADH dehydrogenase) positively correlated to hydrogen peroxide concentrations. Additionally, there was higher nitrogen-fixing gene (nifDKH) expression by filamentous cyanobacteria after the spring bloom but no secondary bloom formation occurred. Overall, elevated environmental hydrogen peroxide concentrations were linked to cyanobacterial dominance and greater expression of specific enzymes in the photosynthesis of cyanobacteria. This implicates cyanobacterial photosynthesis and growth results in increased hydrogen peroxide generation as reflected in measured environmental concentrations.

Abstract
Recent research has hypothesized that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) may have emerged from abiotic geochemical processes during the Archean eon (4.0-2.5 Ga), stimulating the evolution of an enzymatic antioxidant system in early life. This eventually led to the evolution of cyanobacteria, and in turn, the accumulation of oxygen on Earth. In the latest issue of Redox Biology, Koppenol and Sies (vol. 29, no. 103012, 2024) argued against this hypothesis and suggested instead that early organisms would not have been exposed to H2O2 due to its short half-life in the ferruginous oceans of the Archean. We find these arguments to be factually incomplete because they do not consider that freshwater or some coastal marine environments during the Archean could indeed have led to H2O2 generation and accumulation. In these environments, abiotic oxidants could have interacted with early life, thus steering its evolutionary course.

Vitiligo patients were explored for gene expression changes transcriptionally at perilesional site in comparison to normal site of same patients for melanogenesis pathway (TYR, DCT & TYRP1) cell adhesion (MMPs & TIMP1), cell survival (BCL2 & BAX1) as well as proliferation, migration & development (SOX9, SOX10 & MITF) regulatory system, using skin biopsy samples. Results were also compared with changes in gene expression for melanocytes under stress after hydrogen peroxide treatment in-vitro. Gene amplification was carried out via real time PCR. We found increased expression of proliferation, migration & development regulatory genes as well as melanogenesis pathway genes at perilesional site of patients. In-vitro study also supports induced MITF expression and disturbed melanogenesis in melanocytes under stress. Expression level ratio of cell survival regulatory genes' (BCL2/BAX1) as well as cell adhesion regulatory genes (MMPs/TIMP1) was observed upregulated at patient's perilesional site however downregulated in hydrogen peroxide treated melanocytes in-vitro. Observed upregulated gene expression at perilesional site of patients may be via positive feedback loop in response to stress to increase cell tolerance power to survive against adverse conditions. Gene expression analysis suggests better cell survival and proliferation potential at perilesional site in vitiligo patients. It seems in-vivo conditions/growth factors supports cells to fight for survival to accommodate stressed conditions.

Abstract
Phosphonate is becoming a global interest and concern owing to its environment risk and potential value. Degradation of phosphonate into phosphate followed by the recovery is regarded as a promising strategy to control phosphonate pollution, relieve phosphorus crisis, and promote phosphorus cycle. Given these objectives, an anion-membrane-coated-electrode (A-MCE) doped with Fe-Co based carbon catalyst and cation-membrane-coated-electrode (C-MCE) doped with carbon-based catalyst were prepared as catalytic electrodes, and a novel electrocatalytic capacitive deionization (E-CDI) was developed. During charging process, phosphonate was enriched around A-MCE surface based on electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange, and hydrogen bond. Meanwhile, Fe2+ and Co2+ were self-oxidized into Fe3+ and Co3+, forming a complex with enriched phosphonate and enabling an intramolecular electron transfer process for phosphonate degradation. Additionally, benefiting from the stable dissolved oxygen and high oxygen reduction reaction activity of C-MCE, hydrogen peroxide accumulated in E-CDI (158 μM) and thus hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were generated by activation. E-CDI provided an ideal platform for the effective reaction between ·OH and phosphonate, avoiding the loss of ·OH and triggering selective degradation of most phosphonate. After charging for 70 min, approximately 89.9% of phosphonate was degraded into phosphate, and phosphate was subsequently adsorbed by A-MCE. Results also showed that phosphonate degradation was highly dependent on solution pH and voltage, and was insignificantly affected by electrolyte concentration. Compared to traditional advanced oxidation processes, E-CDI exhibited a higher degradation efficiency, lower cost, and less sensitive to co-existed ions in treating simulated wastewaters. Self-enhanced and selective degradation of phosphonate, and in-situ phosphate adsorption were simultaneously achieved for the first time by a E-CDI system, showing high promise in treating organic-containing saline wastewaters.

Abstract
Exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) may generate excessive oxidative stress, inducing renal cell apoptosis related with kidney dysfunction. Geniposide (GP) belongs to the iridoid compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects. This study aimed to observe the intervention effect of GP on H2O2-induced apoptosis in human kidney-2 (HK-2) cells and to explore its potential mechanism in relation to N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation. Cell viability, apotosis rate and cell cycle were tested separately after different treatments. The mRNA and protein levels of m6A related enzymes and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase 3 (AKT3)/forkhead boxo 1 (FOXO1) and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot. The whole m6A methyltransferase activity and the m6A content were measured by ELISA-like colorimetric methods. The changes of m6A methylation levels of PI3K/AKT3/FOXO1 and SOD2 were determined by methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP)-qPCR. Multiple comparisons were performed by ANOVA with Turkey's post hoc test. Exposed to 400 μmol/L H2O2, cells were arrested in G1 phase and the apoptosis rate increased, which were significantly alleviated by GP. Compared with the H2O2 apoptosis group, both the whole m6A RNA methyltransferase activity and the m6A contents were increased due to GP intervention. Besides, the SOD2 protein was increased, while PI3K and FOXO1 decreased. The m6A methylation level of AKT3 was negatively correlated with its protein level. Taken together, GP affects the global m6A methylation microenvironment and regulates the expression of PI3K/AKT3/FOXO1 signaling pathway via m6A modification, alleviating cell cycle arrest and apoptosis caused by oxidative stress in HK-2 cells with a good application prospect.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE CitCAT1 and CitCAT2 were cloned and highly expressed in mature leaves. High temperatures up-regulated CitCAT1 expression, while low temperatures and Diversispora versiformis up-regulated CitCAT2 expression, maintaining a low oxidative damage. Catalase (CAT), a tetrameric heme-containing enzyme, removes hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to maintain low oxidative damage in plants exposed to environmental stress. This study aimed to clone CAT genes from Citrus sinensis cv. "Oita 4" and analyze their expression patterns in response to environmental stress, exogenous abscisic acid (ABA), and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculation. Two CAT genes, CitCAT1 (NCBI accession: PP067858) and CitCAT2 (NCBI accession: PP061394) were cloned, and the open reading frames of their proteins were 1479 bp and 1539 bp, respectively, each encoding 492 and 512 amino acids predicted to be localized in the peroxisome, with CitCAT1 being a stable hydrophilic protein and CitCAT2 being an unstable hydrophilic protein. The similarity of their amino acid sequences reached 83.24%, and the two genes were distantly related. Both genes were expressed in stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits, accompanied by the highest expression in mature leaves. In addition, CitCAT1 expression was mainly up-regulated by high temperatures (37 °C), exogenous ABA, and PEG stress within a short period of time, whereas CitCAT2 expression was up-regulated by exogenous ABA and low-temperature (4 °C) stress. Low temperatures (0 °C) for 12 h just up-regulated CitCAT2 expression in Diversispora versiformis-inoculated plants, and D. versiformis inoculation up-regulated CitCAT2 expression, along with lower hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde levels in mycorrhizal plants at low temperatures. It is concluded that CitCAT2 has an important role in resistance to low temperatures as well as mycorrhizal enhancement of host resistance to low temperatures.

Abstract
Hybrid nanozyme graphene quantum dots (GQDs) deposited TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) on titanium foil (Ti/TiO2 NTs-GQDs) were manufactured by bestowing the hybrid with the advantageous porous morphology, surface valence states, high surface area, and copious active sites. The peroxidase-like activity was investigated through the catalytic oxidation of chromogenic substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2, which can be visualized by the eyes. TiO2 NTs and GQDs comprising oxygen-containing functional groups can oxidize TMB in the presence of H2O2 by mimicking peroxidase enzymes. The peroxidase-mimicking activity of hybrid nanozyme was significantly escalated by introducing light illumination due to the photosensitive features of the hybrid material. The peroxidase-like activity of Ti/TiO2 NTs-GQDs enabled H2O2 determination over the linear range of 7 to 250 μM, with a LOD of 2.1 µM. The satisfying peroxidase activity is possibly due to the unimpeded access of H2O2 to the catalyst's active sites. The porous morphology provides the easy channeling of reactants and products. The periodic structure of the material also gave rise to acceptable reproducibility. Without material functionalization, the Ti/TiO2 NTs-GQDs can be a promising substitute for peroxidases for H2O2 detection.

Abstract
A photoelectrochemical sensor for target detection of hydrogen peroxide was designed based on a new heterojunction nanocomposite which was sulfhydryl-borate ester-modified A1/B1-type pillar[5]arene (BP5)-functionalized Au NPs and multi-walled carbon nanotubes hybridized with bismuth bromide oxide (Au@BP5/MWNTs-BiOBr). The specific sensor was based on the direct induction of oxidation by hydrogen peroxide of the borate ester group of pillar[5]arene. Additionally, the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Au NPs enhanced visible light capture, the host-guest complexation of BP5 with H2O2 enhanced photocurrent response, the layer-by-layer stacked nanoflower structure of BiOBr provided large specific surface area with more active sites, and the conductivity of MWNTs enhanced the charge separation efficiency and significantly improves the stability of PEC. Their synthesis effect significantly increased the photocurrent signal and further enhanced the detection result. Under the optimal conditions, the linear concentration range of H2O2 detected by the Au@BP5/MWNTs-BiOBr sensor was from 1 to 60 pmol/L. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of the method were 0.333 pmol/L and 1 pmol/L, respectively, and the sensitivity was 6.471 pmol/L. Importantly, the PEC sensor has good stability, reproducibility, and interference resistance and can be used for the detection of hydrogen peroxide in real cells.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) residue in foodstuffs will bring great harm to human health. We immobilize the composite of the reduced polyaniline (PANIR) modified gold nanoparticles on the surface of ITO (ITO/AuNPs/PANIR) to develop surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor for H2O2.detection. The principle is that PANIR is oxidized by H2O2 to generate a new SERS peak at 1460 cm-1 for realizing quantitative analysis of H2O2. Fe2+-Fenton reaction is introduced to catalytically react with H2O2 to hydroxyl radical, which speeds up the oxidation of PANIR. Before SERS detection, acidic treatment could guarantee the reduced state of PANIR in composite. Limit of detection of ITO/AuNPs/PANIR-based SERS assay for H2O2 is down to 1.78 × 10-12 mol/L and a good linear relationship from 1 × 10-10 to 3.16 × 10-7 mol/L is achieved. Furthermore, the SERS sensor could be regenerated by acidic treatment. As a scenario, the renewable SERS sensor is utilized to monitor H2O2 residues in food and environmental samples.

Abstract
ASTRACT One of the most common oral diseases affecting millions of people worldwide is periodontitis. Usually, proteins in body fluids are used as biomarkers of diseases. This study focused on hydrogen peroxide, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and lactic acid as salivary non-protein biomarkers for oxidative stress conditions of periodontitis. Electrochemical analysis of artificial saliva was done using Gamry with increasing hydrogen peroxide, bLPS, and lactic acid concentrations. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were conducted. From EIS data, change in capacitance and CV plot area were calculated for each test condition. Hydrogen peroxide groups had a decrease in CV area and an increase in percentage change in capacitance, lipopolysaccharide groups had a decrease in CV area and a decrease in percentage change in capacitance, and lactic acid groups had an increase of CV area and an increase in percentage change in capacitance with increasing concentrations. These data showed a unique combination of electrochemical properties for the three biomarkers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) employed to observe the change in the electrode surface and elemental composition data present on the sensor surface also showed a unique trend of elemental weight percentages. Machine learning models using hydrogen peroxide, LPS, and lactic acid electrochemical data were applied for the prediction of risk levels of periodontitis. The detection of hydrogen peroxide, LPS, and lactic acid by electrochemical biosensors indicates the potential to use these molecules as electrochemical biomarkers and use the data for ML-driven prediction tool for the periodontitis risk levels.

Abstract
The development of environmentally friendly catalysts for organic transformations is of great importance in the field of green chemistry. Aldehyde oxidation reactions play a crucial role in various industrial processes, including the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. This paper presents the synthesis and evaluation of a new metallosalen carbon nitride catalyst named Co(salen)@g-C3N4. The catalyst was prepared by doping salicylaldehyde onto carbon nitride, and subsequently, incorporating cobalt through Schiff base chemistry. The Co(salen)@g-C3N4 catalyst was characterized using various spectroscopic techniques including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Furthermore, after modification with salicylaldehyde, the carbon nitride component of the catalyst exhibited remarkable yields (74-98%) in oxidizing various aldehyde derivatives (20 examples) to benzoic acid. This oxidation reaction was carried out under mild conditions and resulted in short reaction times (120-300 min). Importantly, the catalyst demonstrated recyclability, as it could be reused for five consecutive runs without any loss of activity. The reusable nature of the catalyst, coupled with its excellent yields in oxidation reactions, makes it a promising and sustainable option for future applications.

Abstract
Effluent containing tartrazine can affect the environment and human health significantly prompting the current study into degradation using a sonochemical reactor operated individually and combined with advanced oxidation processes. The optimum conditions for ultrasound treatment were established as dye concentration of 10 ppm, pH of 3, temperature as 35 °C, and power as 90 W. The combination approach of H2O2/UV, H2O2/US, and H2O2/UV/US resulted in higher degradation of 25.44%, 57.4%, and 74.36% respectively. Use of ZnO/UV/US approach increased the degradation significantly to 85.31% whereas maximum degradation as 93.11% was obtained for the US/UV/Fenton combination. COD reduction was found maximum as 83.78% for the US/UV/Fenton combination. The kinetic analysis showed that tartrazine dye degradation follows pseudo first-order kinetics for all the studied processes. Combination of Fenton with UV and US was elucidated as the best approach for degradation of tartrazine.

Abstract
The efficiency of the Fenton reaction is markedly contingent upon the operational pH related to iron solubility. Therefore, a heterogeneous Fenton reaction has been developed to function at neutral pH. In the present study, the Bio-Fenton reaction was carried out using magnetite (Fe(II)Fe(III)2O4) and H2O2 generated by a newly isolated H2O2-producing bacterium, Desemzia sp. strain C1 at pH 6.8 to degrade chloroacetanilide herbicides. The optimal conditions for an efficient Bio-Fenton reaction were 10 mM of lactate, 0.5% (w/v) of magnetite, and resting-cells (O.D.600 = 1) of strain C1. During the Bio-Fenton reaction, 1.8-2.0 mM of H2O2 was generated by strain C1 and promptly consumed by the Fenton reaction with magnetite, maintaining stable pH conditions. Approximately, 40-50% of the herbicides underwent oxidation through non-specific reactions of •OH, leading to dealkylation, dechlorination, and hydroxylation via hydrogen atom abstraction. These findings will contribute to advancing the Bio-Fenton system for non-specific oxidative degradation of diverse organic pollutants under in-situ environmental conditions with bacteria producing high amount of H2O2 and magnetite under a neutral pH condition.

Abstract
The thiol redox state is a decisive functional characteristic of proteins in cell biology. Plasmatic cell compartments maintain a thiol-based redox regulatory network linked to the glutathione/glutathione disulfide couple (GSH/GSSG) and the NAD(P)H system. The basic network constituents are known and in vivo cell imaging with gene-encoded probes have revealed insight into the dynamics of the [GSH]2/[GSSG] redox potential, cellular H2O2 and NAD(P)H+H+ amounts in dependence on metabolic and environmental cues. Less understood is the contribution and interaction of the network components, also because of compensatory reactions in genetic approaches. Reconstituting the cytosolic network of Arabidopsis thaliana in vitro from fifteen recombinant proteins at in vivo concentrations, namely glutathione peroxidase-like (GPXL), peroxiredoxins (PRX), glutaredoxins (GRX), thioredoxins, NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase A and glutathione reductase and applying Grx1-roGFP2 or roGFP2-Orp1 as dynamic sensors, allowed for monitoring the response to a single H2O2 pulse. The major change in thiol oxidation as quantified by mass spectrometry-based proteomics occurred in relevant peptides of GPXL, and to a lesser extent of PRX, while other Cys-containing peptides only showed small changes in their redox state and protection. Titration of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) into the system together with dehydroascorbate reductase lowered the oxidation of the fluorescent sensors in the network but was unable to suppress it. The results demonstrate the power of the network to detoxify H2O2, the partially independent branches of electron flow with significance for specific cell signaling and the importance of APX to modulate the signaling without suppressing it and shifting the burden to glutathione oxidation.

Abstract
Levels and chemical species of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) determine oxidative eustress and distress. Abundance of uptake pathways and high oxygen consumption for ATP-dependent transport makes the renal proximal tubule particularly susceptible to cadmium (Cd2+)-induced oxidative stress by targeting ROS/RNS generation or antioxidant defence mechanisms, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) or H2O2-metabolizing catalase (CAT). Though ROS/RNS are well-evidenced, the role of distinct ROS profiles in Cd2+ concentration-dependent toxicity is not clear. In renal cells, Cd2+ (10-50 µM) oxidized dihydrorhodamine 123, reaching a maximum at 2-3 h. Increases (up to fourfold) in lipid peroxidation by TBARS assay and H2O2 by Amplex Red were evident within 30 min. ROS and loss in cell viability by MTT assay with 50 µM Cd2+ could not be fully reversed by SOD mimetics Tempol and MnTBAP nor by SOD1 overexpression, whereas CAT expression and α-tocopherol were effective. SOD and CAT activities were attenuated below controls only with >6 h 50 µM Cd2+, yet augmented by up to 1.5- and 1.2-fold, respectively, by 10 µM Cd2+. Moreover, 10 µM, but not 25-50 µM Cd2+, caused 1.7-fold increase in superoxide anion (O2•-), detected by dihydroethidium, paralled by loss in cell viability, that was abolished by Tempol, MnTBAP, α-tocopherol and SOD1 or CAT overexpression. H2O2-generating NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) was attenuated by ~50% with 10 µM Cd2+ at 3 h compared to upregulation by 50 µM Cd2+ (~1.4-fold, 30 min), which was sustained for 24 h. In summary, O2•- predominates with low-moderate Cd2+, driving an adaptive response, whereas oxidative stress by elevated H2O2 at high Cd2+ triggers cell death signaling pathways.Highlights Different levels of reactive oxygen species are generated, depending on cadmium concentration. Superoxide anion predominates and H2O2 is suppressed with low cadmium representing oxidative eustress. High cadmium fosters H2O2 by inhibiting catalase and increasing NOX4 leading to oxidative distress. Superoxide dismutase mimetics and overexpression were less effective with high versus low cadmium. Oxidative stress profile could dictate downstream signalling pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several associations worldwide have been recommending the use of 1% hydrogen peroxide solution as a preprocedural mouth rinse before dental treatments to reduce viral load in saliva. This protocol is also employed in stress studies, especially in the context of dental treatment that uses salivary biomarkers as an indicator. However, the effect of 1% hydrogen peroxide as mouth rinse on salivary biomarkers remains unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the effects of 1% hydrogen peroxide solution as a preprocedural mouth rinse on 3 salivary stress biomarkers-salivary cortisol, salivary secretory IgA, and salivary α-amylase-both on chemical influence and mechanical irrigation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety healthy participants with confirmed negative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction results for COVID-19 at most 2 days prior to the experiment were included in this study. All participants were randomly allocated into 3 groups: experimental (1% hydrogen peroxide solution), positive control (distilled water), and negative control (no mouth rinse). Saliva samples were collected before and after mouth rinsing with the respective solutions. Salivary biomarkers were analysed using specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. RESULTS Salivary cortisol and salivary α-amylase did not significantly differ before and after rinsing, whilst salivary sIgA levels decreased in all 3 groups. Nonetheless, there were no significant differences in the changes of these biomarkers across the 3 groups. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that using 1% hydrogen peroxide solution as a preprocedural mouth rinse for universal precaution does not alter the levels of these 3 salivary biomarkers.

Abstract
The fabrication of low-cost, highly efficient, environmentally friendly, and easily separable metal-free heterogeneous catalysts for environmental remediation remains a challenge. In this study, granular nitrogen-doped highly developed porous carbons with a particle size of 0.25-0.30 mm were prepared by preoxidation and subsequent NH3 modification of a commercially available coconut-based activated carbon, and used to activate peroxymonosulphate (KHSO5) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to degrade bisphenol A (BPA). The nitrogen-doped carbon (ACON-950) prepared by NH3 modification at 950 °C, with the addition of only 0.15 g/L could remove 100% of 50 mg/L BPA in 150 min, and more than 90% of the removed BPA was due to degradation. The removal rates of total organic carbon of ACON-950/KHSO5 and ACON-950/H2O2 systems reached 60.4% and 66.2% respectively, indicating the excellent catalytic activity of ACON-950. The reaction rate constant was significantly positively correlated with the absolute content of pyridinic N (N-6) and graphitic N (N-Q) and negatively and weakly positively correlated with pyrrolic N (N-5) and defects. Quenching experiments combined with electron paramagnetic resonance demonstrated that singlet oxygen was the dominant reactive oxidative species for BPA degradation. ACON-950 was characterized before and after the degradation reaction using N2 adsorption-desorption analyzer, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results confirmed the prominent contribution of both the N-6 and N-Q to the catalytic performance of nitrogen-doped carbons. The reusability of ACON-950 and its application in actual water bodies further demonstrated its remarkable potential for the remediation of organic pollutants in wastewater.

Abstract
We report a nanohybrid material obtained by non-covalent functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with the new ligand (((1E,1'E)-(naphthalene-2,3-diylbis(azaneylylidene))bis(methaneylylidenedene)) bis(4-hydroxy-3,1-phenylene))diboronic acid (SB-dBA), rationally designed to mimic some recognition properties of biomolecules like concanavalin A, for the development of electrochemical biosensors based on the use of glycobiomolecules as biorecognition element. We present, as a proof-of-concept, a hydrogen peroxide biosensor obtained by anchoring horseradish peroxidase (HRP) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with the nanohybrid prepared by sonication of 2.0 mg mL-1 MWCNTs and 0.50 mg mL-1 SB-dBA in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) for 30 min. The hydrogen peroxide biosensing was performed at -0.050 V in the presence of 5.0 × 10-4 M hydroquinone. The analytical characteristics of the resulting biosensor are the following: linear range between 0.175 μM and 6.12 μM, detection limit of 58 nM, and reproducibility of 2.0 % using the same nanohybrid (6 biosensors), and 9.0 % using three different nanohybrids. The sensor was successfully used to quantify hydrogen peroxide in enriched milk and human blood serum samples and in a commercial disinfector.

Abstract
Peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.7) are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, hence their broad distribution across biological systems. These proteins can be classified as haem or non-haem enzymes. According to the RedOxiBase database, haem peroxidases are approximately 84 % of all known peroxidase enzymes. Class III plant peroxidases are haem-enzymes that share similar three-dimensional structures and a common catalytic mechanism for hydrogen peroxide degradation. They exist as large multigene families and are involved in metabolizing Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), hormone synthesis and decomposition, fruit growth, defense, and cell wall synthesis and maintenance. As a result, plant peroxidases gained attention in research and became one of the most extensively studied groups of enzymes. This review provides an update on the database, classification, phylogeny, mechanism of action, structure, and physiological functions of class III plant peroxidases.

Abstract
A multitude of cellular metabolic and regulatory processes rely on controlled thiol reduction and oxidation mechanisms. Due to our aerobic environment, research preferentially focuses on oxidation processes, leading to limited tools tailored for investigating cellular reduction. Here, we advocate for repurposing HyPer1, initially designed as a fluorescent probe for H2O2 levels, as a tool to measure the reductive power in various cellular compartments. The response of HyPer1 depends on kinetics between thiol oxidation and reduction in its OxyR sensing domain. Here, we focused on the reduction half-reaction of HyPer1. We showed that HyPer1 primarily relies on Trx/TrxR-mediated reduction in the cytosol and nucleus, characterized by a second order rate constant of 5.8 × 102 M-1s-1. On the other hand, within the mitochondria, HyPer1 is predominantly reduced by glutathione (GSH). The GSH-mediated reduction rate constant is 1.8 M-1s-1. Using human leukemia K-562 cells after a brief oxidative exposure, we quantified the compartmentalized Trx/TrxR and GSH-dependent reductive activity using HyPer1. Notably, the recovery period for mitochondrial HyPer1 was twice as long compared to cytosolic and nuclear HyPer1. After exploring various human cells, we revealed a potent cytosolic Trx/TrxR pathway, particularly pronounced in cancer cell lines such as K-562 and HeLa. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that HyPer1 can be harnessed as a robust tool for assessing compartmentalized reduction activity in cells following oxidative stress.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction and endothelial activation are common early events in vascular diseases and can arise from mitochondrial dysfunction. Neurogranin (Ng) is a 17kD protein well known to regulate intracellular Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM) complex signaling, and its dysfunction is significantly implicated in brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases. We found that Ng is also expressed in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs), and depleting Ng promotes Ca2+-CaM complex-dependent endothelial activation and redox imbalances. Endothelial-specific Ng knockout (Cre-CDH5-Ngf/f) mice demonstrate a significant delay in the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) response. Therefore, it is critical to characterize how endothelial Ng expression regulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and affects cardiovascular disease. Label-free quantification proteomics identified that mitochondrial dysfunction and the oxidative phosphorylation pathway are significantly changed in the aorta of Cre-CDH5-Ngf/f mice. We found that a significant amount of Ng is expressed in the mitochondrial fraction of HAECs using western blotting and colocalized with the mitochondrial marker, COX IV, using immunofluorescence staining. Seahorse assay demonstrated that a lack of Ng decreases mitochondrial respiration. Treatment with MitoEbselen significantly restores the oxygen consumption rate in Ng knockdown cells. With the RoGFP-Orp1 approach, we identified that Ng knockdown increases mitochondrial-specific hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production, and MitoEbselen treatment significantly reduced mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) levels in Ng knockdown cells. These results suggest that Ng plays a significant role in mtROS production. We discovered that MitoEbselen treatment also rescues decreased eNOS expression and nitric oxide (NO) levels in Ng knockdown cells, which implicates the critical role of Ng in mtROS-NO balance in the endothelial cells.

Abstract
Prussian blue nanozymes (PBNs) with multiple enzyme activities are prepared and their activities of antitumor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (CEN2) are also explored in this research. On the one hand, it shows that PBNs can exert the catalase-like (CAT-like) activity to decompose hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into non-toxic H2O in CEN2 cells. The O2 release of H2O2 catalysed by PBNs effectively alleviates the hypoxic environment of tumors, which inhibits the glycolysis of tumor and reduces the production of lactic acid. On the other hand, we also find that PBNs also has peroxidase-like (POD-like) enzymatic activity, which can catalyze the production of·OH from H2O2 in tumor cells and result in tumor cell apoptosis. This study lays a solid biomedical foundation for the development of safe and non-toxic nanozymes, as well as the expansion of their application in tumor treatment.

Abstract
Cell-to-cell communication plays a cardinal role in the biology of multicellular organisms. H2O2 is an important cell-to-cell signaling molecule involved in the response of mammalian cells to wounding and other stimuli. We previously identified a signaling pathway that transmits wound-induced cell-to-cell H2O2 signals within minutes over long distances, measured in centimeters, in a monolayer of cardiomyocytes. Here we report that this long-distance H2O2 signaling pathway is accompanied by enhanced accumulation of cytosolic H2O2 and altered redox state in cells along its path. We further show that it requires the production of superoxide, as well as the function of gap junctions, and that it is accompanied by changes in the abundance of hundreds of proteins in cells along its path. Our findings highlight the existence of a unique and rapid long-distance H2O2 signaling pathway that could play an important role in different inflammatory responses, wound responses/healing, cardiovascular disease, and/or other conditions.

Abstract
Neuronal cell death is acknowledged as the primary pathological basis underlying developmental neurotoxicity in response to sevoflurane exposure, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation that is driven by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ferrous iron through the Fenton reaction and participates in the pathogenesis of multiple neurological diseases. As stress response factor, activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) can be activated by the PERK/ATF4 pathway during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, followed by increased intracellular H2O2, which is involved in regulation of apoptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis. Here, we investigated whether ferroptosis and ATF3 activation were implicated in sevoflurane-induced neuronal cell death in the developing brain. The results showed that sevoflurane exposure induced neuronal death as a result of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation damage secondary to H2O2 accumulation and ferrous iron increase, which was consistent with the criteria for ferroptosis. Furthermore, we observed that increases in iron and H2O2 induced by sevoflurane exposure were associated with the upregulation and nuclear translocation of ATF3 in response to ER stress. Knockdown of ATF3 expression alleviated iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, which prevented sevoflurane-induced neuronal ferroptosis. Mechanistically, ATF3 promoted sevoflurane-induced H2O2 accumulation by activating NOX4 and suppressing catalase, GPX4, and SLC7A11 expression. Additionally, an increase in H2O2 was accompanied by the upregulation of TFR and TF and downregulation of FPN, which linked iron overload to ferroptosis induced by sevoflurane. Taken together, our results demonstrated that ER stress-mediated ATF3 activation contributed to sevoflurane-induced neuronal ferroptosis via H2O2 accumulation and the resultant iron overload.

Abstract
The main challenge facing the anodic electro-Fenton through the 2e- water oxidation reaction (WOR) for toxics degradation lies in the electrode's stability, because the anodic oxygen evolution (OER) generated O2 will inevitably exfoliate the electro-active components loaded on the electrode substrate. To address this point, two aspects need attention: 1) Identifying a catalyst that exhibits both excellent electrocatalytic activity and selectivity can improve the faradaic efficiency of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2); 2) Employing novel methods for fabricating highly stable electrodes, where active sites can be firmly coated. Consequently, this study utilized microarc oxidation (MAO) to prepare a ceramic film electrode Zn2SnO4@Ti at 300 V. Zn2SnO4 acts as an WOR electrocatalyst and further improved the generation of H2O2 for treating real wastewater containing Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine (UDMH). From the perspective of characterization of electrode structure, Zn2SnO4@Ti forms a stable active coating, the electrochemical yield of H2O2 is high up to 78.4 μmol h-1 cm-2, and the selectivity of H2O2 is over 80% at 3.3 V vs. RHE, which can be fully applied to scenarios where it is inconvenient to transport H2O2 and need in-situ safe production. Additionally, the prepared electrodes exhibit significant stability, suitable for various applications, providing insightful preparation strategies and experiences for constructing highly stable anodes.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) have been intensively investigated for the purpose of industrial dye decolourization and lignin degradation. Unfortunately, the characterization of these peroxidases is hampered by their non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics, exemplified by substrate inhibition and/or positive cooperativity. Although often observed, the underlying mechanisms behind the unusual kinetics of DyPs are poorly understood. Here we studied the kinetics of the oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), hydroquinones, and anthraquinone dyes by DyP from the bacterium Thermobifida halotolerans (ThDyP) and solved its crystal structure. We also provide rate equations for different kinetic mechanisms explaining the complex kinetics of heme peroxidases. Kinetic studies along with the analysis of the structure of ThDyP suggest that the substrate inhibition is caused by the non-productive binding of ABTS to the enzyme resting state. Strong irreversible inactivation of ThDyP by H2O2 in the absence of ABTS suggests that the substrate inhibition by H2O2 may be caused by the non-productive binding of H2O2 to compound I. Positive cooperativity was observed only with the oxidation of ABTS but not with the two electron-donating substrates. Although the conventional mechanism of cooperativity cannot be excluded, we propose that the oxidation of ABTS assumes the simultaneous binding of two ABTS molecules to reduce compound I to the enzyme resting state, and this causes the apparent positive cooperativity.

Abstract
Aqueous solutions of alginate (4 %) with or without hydrogen peroxide (0-2 % H2O2) were irradiated under a gamma Co-60 source. The effect of dose rate on the radiation scission yield (Gs) of resulting irradiated alginate was determined. At the dose of 20 kGy, the G(s) value of irradiated alginate decreased with the increase dose rate, suggesting that the irradiation at a suitable dose rate could further improve the radiation chemical yield of degradation. For the alginate irradiated at the same dose rate, G(s) value increased with the increase of H2O2 concentration. Average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity index (PI) of irradiated alginate rapidly decreased with the increase in dose and further decreased by addition of H2O2. The oligoalginate with Mw ~ 9800 g/mol was obtained by radiation degradation of 4 % alginate solution containing 2 % H2O2 at dose of 20 kGy. Radiation scission of glycoside bonds and formation of carbonyl groups (C=O) were indicated in UV and FTIR spectra of irradiated alginate. Peanut seedlings were fertilized with alginate and oligoalginate solutions, and the results showed that all growth parameters of the treated plants were better than those of the control. Furthermore, the oligoalginate prepared by gamma irradiation can be applied as a plant growth promoter for agriculture production.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a prevalent reactive oxygen species (ROS) found in natural aquatic environments, has garnered significant attention for its potential toxicity in fish. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this toxicity are not yet comprehensively understood. This study aimed to assess H2O2-induced liver dysfunction in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms via biochemical and transcriptomic analyses. Common carp were divided into normal control (NC) and H2O2-treated groups (1 mM H2O2), the latter of which was exposed to H2O2 for 1 h per day over a period of 14 days. Serum biochemical analyses indicated that exposure to H2O2 resulted in moderate liver damage, characterized by elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity and lowered albumin (Alb) level. Concurrently, H2O2 exposure induced oxidative stress and modified the hepatic metabolic enzyme levels. Transcriptome analysis highlighted that 1358 and 1188 genes were significantly downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in the H2O2-treated group. These differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly enriched in protein synthesis and a variety of metabolic functions such as peptide biosynthetic processes, protein transport, ribonucleoprotein complex biogenesis, oxoacid metabolic processes, and tricarboxylic acid metabolic processes. Dysregulation of protein synthesis is principally associated with the downregulation of three specific pathways: ribosome biogenesis, protein export, and protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Furthermore, metabolic abnormalities were primarily characterized by inhibition of the citrate cycle (TCA) and fatty acid biosynthesis. Significantly, anomalies in both protein synthesis and metabolic function may be linked to aberrant regulation of the insulin signaling pathway. These findings offer innovative insights into the mechanisms underlying H2O2 toxicity in aquatic animals, contributing to the assessment of ecological risks.

Abstract
Few field trials examining hydrogen peroxide as a cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom (cHAB) treatment have been conducted in subtropical and tropical regions. None have been tested in Florida, home to Lake Okeechobee and downstream waterways which periodically experience Microcystis bloom events. To investigate treatment effects in Florida, we applied a 490 μM (16.7 mg/L; 0.0015%) hydrogen peroxide spray to a minor bloom of Microcystis aeruginosa on the downstream side of Franklin Lock and Dam in the Caloosahatchee River. Although hydrogen peroxide decreased to background level one day post-treatment, succession was observed in phytoplankton community amplicon sequencing. The relative abundance of Microcystis decreased on day 3 by 86%, whereas the picocyanobacteria Synechococcus became dominant, increasing by 77% on day 3 and by 173% on day 14 to 57% of the phytoplankton community. Metatranscriptomics revealed Synechococcus likely benefitted from the antioxidant defense of upregulated peroxiredoxin, peroxidase/catalase, and rubrerythrin expressions immediately after treatment, and upregulated nitrate transport and urease to take advantage of available nitrogen. Our results indicated hydrogen peroxide induces succession of the phytoplankton community from Microcystis to non-toxic picocyanobacteria and could be used for selective suppression of harmful cyanobacteria.

Abstract
The present study describes the development of a potentiometric sensor for microbial monitoring in water based on catalase activity. The sensor comprises a MnO2-modified electrode that responds linearly to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from 0.16 M to 3.26 M. The electrode potential drops when the H2O2 solution is spiked with catalase or catalase-producing microorganisms that decompose H2O2. The sensor is responsive to different bacteria and their catalase activities. The electrochemical sensor exhibits a lower limit of detection (LOD) for Escherichia coli at 11 CFU/ml, Citrobacter youngae at 12 CFU/ml, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 23 CFU/ml. The sensor shows high sensitivity at 3.49, 3.02, and 4.24 mV/cm2dec for E. coli, C. youngae, and P. aeruginosa, respectively. The abiotic sensing electrode can be used multiple times without changing the response potential (up to 100 readings) with a shelf-life of over six months. The response time is a few seconds, with a total test time of 5 min. Additionally, the sensor effectively tested actual samples (drinking and grey water), which makes it a quick and reliable sensing tool. Therefore, the study offers a promising water monitoring tool with high sensitivity, stability, good detection limit, and minimum interference from other water contaminants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The polysaccharides in lignocellulosic biomass hold potential for production of biofuels and biochemicals. However, achieving efficient conversion of this resource into fermentable sugars faces challenges, especially when operating at industrially relevant high solid loadings. While it is clear that combining classical hydrolytic enzymes and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) is necessary to achieve high saccharification yields, exactly how these enzymes synergize at high solid loadings remains unclear. RESULTS An LPMO-poor cellulase cocktail, Celluclast 1.5 L, was spiked with one or both of two fungal LPMOs from Thermothielavioides terrestris and Thermoascus aurantiacus, TtAA9E and TaAA9A, respectively, to assess their impact on cellulose saccharification efficiency at high dry matter loading, using Avicel and steam-exploded wheat straw as substrates. The results demonstrate that LPMOs can mitigate the reduction in saccharification efficiency associated with high dry matter contents. The positive effect of LPMO inclusion depends on the type of feedstock and the type of LPMO and increases with the increasing dry matter content and reaction time. Furthermore, our results show that chelating free copper, which may leak out of the active site of inactivated LPMOs during saccharification, with EDTA prevents side reactions with in situ generated H2O2 and the reductant (ascorbic acid). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that sustaining LPMO activity is vital for efficient cellulose solubilization at high substrate loadings. LPMO cleavage of cellulose at high dry matter loadings results in new chain ends and thus increased water accessibility leading to decrystallization of the substrate, all factors making the substrate more accessible to cellulase action. Additionally, this work highlights the importance of preventing LPMO inactivation and its potential detrimental impact on all enzymes in the reaction.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays an irreplaceable role in the evaluation of the redox status in versatile circumstances. The levels of H2O2 can be affected by both internal and external stimuli, including environmental hazards. Abnormal production of H2O2 is a common characteristic of pesticide-caused damage. Therefore, H2O2 levels can intuitively and conveniently reflect the oxidative stress caused by various pesticides in cells and organisms. However, reliable and convenient monitoring of H2O2 in living cells is still limited by the lack of specific imaging probes. In this study, a fluorescent probe (HBTM-HP) was developed for in situ observation of H2O2 fluctuations caused by pesticide treatment over time in mammalian cells, rice roots and zebrafish. HBTM-HP showed high sensitivity and selectivity for H2O2. Fluorescence imaging results confirmed that HBTM-HP could be applied to reveal H2O2 production induced by multiple pesticides. This study revealed that HBTM-HP could serves as a versatile tool to monitor the redox status related to H2O2 both in vitro and in vivo upon exposure to pesticides, and also provides a basis for clarifying the mechanisms of pesticides in physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) treatment combined with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) addition on the thermal stability of myofibrillar protein (MP)-stabilized emulsions in low-salt conditions were investigated. Results showed that compared to using either HIU or H2O2 treatment alone, HIU treatment combined with H2O2 was most effective in enhancing the physical stability of emulsions. Moreover, the emulsion stabilized by MPs co-treated with HIU and H2O2 exhibited the most uniform distribution, highest absolute zeta potential, and optimal rheological properties upon heating. This combination effect during heating was caused by the inhibition of disulfide bond cross-linking of myosin heads by H2O2 and the dissociation of filamentous myosin structures using the HIU treatment. In addition, the results of oxidative stability analysis indicated that the addition of H2O2 increased the content of oxidation products; however, the overall influence on the oxidative stability of emulsions was not significant. In conclusion, the combination of HIU and H2O2 treatment is a promising approach to suppress heat-induced MP aggregation and improve the thermal stability of corresponding emulsions.
