NIR-II Photothermal Conversion in Spin Crossover Metal-organic Frameworks.

The synthesis of multifunctional materials that exhibit two or more distinct physicochemical properties is critical for the development of advanced smart materials. To date, the research regarding the near-infrared II (NIR-II) photothermal properties of spin crossover (SCO) materials remains scarce. Here, we synthesized an inverse-Hofmann-type cationic framework, [Fe{Ag(CN)}(TTF(py))] (1, TTF(py) = tetra(4-pyridyl)tetrathiafulvalene), which exhibits hysteretic SCO behavior.

[Spatio-temporal Monitoring and Driving Factor Analysis of Eco-environment Quality in the Loess Plateau of Northern Shaanxi].

Located in the core area， the Loess Plateau of Northern Shaanxi is characterized by a sensitive and fragile eco-environment facing a series of ecological challenges such as soil erosion， desertification， and salinization. Therefore， comprehensive and quantitative monitoring and analysis of the spatio-temporal changes and driving factors of eco-environment quality are critically important for regional eco-environment protection. Based on Google Earth Engine （GEE）， and taking the ecological characteristics into account， an adjusted remote sensing ecological index（RSEI）was constructed by introducing the composite salinity index （CSI） and desertification difference index （DDI） into the classical remote sensing ecological index （RSEI）.

Anhui Province was chosen as the research locale， with CLCD data （1990-2020） employed to delineate land use modifications.

Atomic-Scale Control and In Situ Raman Probing of Hot Carrier Transport in Two-Dimensional Heterojunctions.

Chemical reactions triggered by plasmonic hot carriers attract growing attention due to their high activity and widely adjustable selectivity. However, precise control of hot carrier behaviors and catalytic reactions driven by them on the subnanometer scale remains challenging. Herein, the transportation of plasmonic hot carriers in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions consisting of graphene and MoS, as well as its influence on photocatalytic reactions, has been in situ monitored by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with atomic layer accuracy.

Low-/High-Spin Cobaltaboratranes Stabilized by -/Isomeric Bisphosphines.

Electronic spin isomerism in low-valent cobalt complexes can potentially be achieved through the rational design of ligand fields, but such instances have rarely been reported up to now. Herein, we crystallized two cobaltaboratrane complexes featuring Co → B dative covalent bonds by leveraging the rigidity of the C═C bond from -/isomeric bisphosphine ligands. The Co cores in / are stabilized in six- and five-coordinate octahedral and trigonal bipyramidal geometries, respectively, resulting in low- and high-spin ground states, as demonstrated by magnetic measurements.

Photochromic Dysprosium Single-Molecule Magnet Featuring Reversible Redox Transformation of Polyoxomolybdate Moiety.

A photochromic dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet [Dy(CyPhPO)(HO)](PMoO) ⋅ 3CyPhPO⋅HO (1-Dy) is synthesized via cocrystal engineering of a polyoxomolybdate (POMo) anion and an Ising-type cation with pseudo pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. Upon ultraviolet irradiation, Mo-to-Mo single-electron photoreduction occurs in the POMo moiety, resulting in significant changes of optical and magnetic properties. The emergence of intervalence charge-transfer transitions in heteropoly blue state 1-Dy* facilitates photothermal conversion in near-infrared region.

Pulmonary Flora-Derived Lipopolysaccharide Mediates Lung-Brain Axis through Activating Microglia Involved in Polystyrene Microplastic-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction.

Microplastics (MPs) have been detected in the atmospheric and the human respiratory system, indicating that the respiratory tract is a significant exposure route for MPs. However, the effect of inhaled MPs on cognitive function has not been adequately studied. Here, a C57BL/6 J mouse model of inhalation exposure to polystyrene MPs (PS-MPs, 5 µm, 60 d) is established by intratracheal instillation.

[Water and heat transfer characteristics in summer maize farmland and its response to environmental factors in the old course of Yellow River].

Accurate assessment of material and energy exchange between land and atmosphere is essential for water resources management and sustainable development of agriculture. To understand the characteristics of energy distribution and the dynamic change process of water and heat fluxes within the maize farmland ecosystem in the old course of Yellow River and their response to meteorological factors, we utilized the eddy covariance measurements and the full-element automatic weather station to continuously observe energy fluxes and conventional meteorological elements of summer maize farmland in the old course of Yellow River during 2019-2020. We analyzed the variation of energy fluxes and the effects of environmental factors, such as temperature, precipitation, and wind speed.

Inhaled polystyrene microplastics impaired lung function through pulmonary flora/TLR4-mediated iron homeostasis imbalance.

Microplastics (MPs) have been found in the air, human nasal cavity, and lung, suggesting that the respiratory tract is one of the important exposure routes for MPs. The lung is a direct target organ for injury from inhaled MPs, but data on lung injury from longer-term exposure to environmental doses of MPs are limited, and the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, C57BL/6 J mice were treated with 5 μm polystyrene (PS)-MPs by intratracheal instillation (0.

The selective sponging of miRNAs by OIP5-AS1 regulates metabolic reprogramming of pyruvate in adenoma-carcinoma transition of human colorectal cancer.

RNA interactomes and their diversified functionalities have recently benefited from critical methodological advances leading to a paradigm shift from a conventional conception on the regulatory roles of RNA in pathogenesis. However, the dynamic RNA interactomes in adenoma-carcinoma sequence of human CRC remain unexplored. The coexistence of adenoma, cancer, and normal tissues in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients provides an appropriate model to address this issue.

Sulforaphane decreases oxidative stress and inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis.

Excessive oxidative stress and NLRP3 inflammasome activation are considered the main drivers of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and inhibition of inflammasomes ameliorates clinical symptoms and morphological manifestations of IBD. Herein, we examined the roles of NLRP3 activation in IBD and modulation of NLRP3 by sulforaphane (SFN), a compound with multiple pharmacological activities that is extracted from cruciferous plants. To simulate human IBD, we established a mouse colitis model by administering dextran sodium sulfate in the drinking water.
