Article Abstract
In this study, a highly efficient flame-retardant bioplastic poly(lactide) was developed by covalently incorporating flame-retardant DOPO, that is, 9,10-dihydro-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide. To that end, a three-step strategy that combines the catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L,L-lactide (L,L-LA) in bulk from a pre-synthesized DOPO-diamine initiator, followed by bulk chain-coupling reaction by reactive extrusion of the so-obtained phosphorylated polylactide (PLA) oligomers (DOPO-PLA) with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), is described. The flame retardancy of the phosphorylated PLA (DOPO-PLA-PU) was investigated by mass loss cone calorimetry and UL-94 tests. As compared with a commercially available PLA matrix, phosphorylated PLA shows superior flame-retardant properties, that is, (i) significant reduction of both the peak of heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) by 35% and 36%, respectively, and (ii) V0 classification at UL-94 test. Comparisons between simple physical DOPO-diamine/PLA blends and a DOPO-PLA-PU material were also performed. The results evidenced the superior flame-retardant behavior of phosphorylated PLA obtained by a reactive pathway.

Compensatory roles of STT3A and ALG5 in glucose metabolism of aged macaque hippocampus.

The hippocampus (HC), a central hub for memory and cognition, exhibits unique metabolic resilience during aging despite widespread brain glucose hypometabolism. Here, we report that aged humans and macaques paradoxically display elevated HC glucose uptake (18F-FDG PET SUVR) alongside strengthened connectivity to sensory-motor and limbic networks-an adaptive rewiring revealed by graph-theoretical metabolic network analysis. Integrated multi-omics profiling identified STT3A (oligosaccharyltransferase) and ALG5 (dolichyl-phosphate β-glucosyltransferase) as key regulators of age-related HC adaptation, with their upregulation in aged macaque hippocampi driving N-glycosylation-dependent metabolic reprogramming.

Purpose: Yuzhi Zhixue (YZZX) granules, a classic Chinese herbal remedy, have demonstrated efficacy in managing hemorrhagic and inflammatory conditions, and are clinically used to treat uterine bleeding. Building upon their documented clinical applications and phytochemical composition, we hypothesized that YZZX may also possess therapeutic potential against ulcerative colitis (UC). This research aimed to examine the immunomodulatory effects of YZZX granules on Th1/Th17-mediated immune reactions in a murine UC model induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS).

Background: Renal fibrosis is a common pathological feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Our previous study demonstrated that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP-5) promotes glycolytic reprogramming in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and exacerbates renal inflammation in diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
Methods: Human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used.

Shear stress enhances matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression, which plays a critical role in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) migration and vascular remodeling via microenvironmental interactions with mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs). MAECs were exposed to disturbed flow using a custom flow device for 1, 3, or 5 h, and conditioned media (MAEC-CM) were collected. BMSCs migration in response to different MAEC-CM conditions was assessed by flow cytometry, transwell, and wound-healing assays.

Background: Low barometric pressure hypoxia at high altitudes triggers vascular remodeling, resulting in high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). The key step is the transformation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) from a contractile to synthetic phenotype. Protein kinases and phosphatases contribute to phenotype transformation by altering phosphorylated protein expression.
