The advanced oxidation process of peroxymonosulfate activated by solid catalyst is one of the main technologies to solve the pollution of antibiotics in water environment.In this work, a series of composites (MCW) containing Mn, Co, and W were synthesized using green ball milling, which does not produce the three wastes (waste gas, waste water and industrial residue). It shows a unique and high catalytic activity for peroxymonosulfate-based degradation of doxycycline (DC) under the pH condition between 4 and 9, and it can be reused five times. MCW composites remove DC using singlet oxygen and superoxide free radicals, as well as a large number of oxygen vacancies for electron storage. The formation rate of free radicals is determined by the conversion rates of Mn/Mn and Co/Co. In addition, there are three ways to degrade DC to form 18 kinds of intermediates, and the toxicity of all the intermediates were predicted by ECOSAR program. The highly active catalysts obtained using a green synthetic route for the activation of peroxymonosulfate show a great potential for decontamination of antibiotics wastewater.

Aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) production by dermal fibroblasts drives fibrotic skin diseases, which has an adverse impact on the lives of patients. Current treatments are limited; therefore, the development of new antifibrotic strategies is necessary. The aim of the present study was to investigate zinc finger 469 (ZNF469) as a potential ECM regulator in skin fibrosis.

The widespread use of antibiotics in humans and animals raises significant environmental concerns. However, few approaches can simultaneously quantify their transfer from humans and animals and track their fate in soils and rivers. In this study, we developed the MARINA-Antibiotics model (Model to Assess River Inputs of pollutaNts to seAs for Antibiotics) to quantify the sources and concentrations of 30 widely used antibiotics, as well as assess their associated environmental risks, and implemented this model in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area in 2020.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disorder, characterized by cartilage degradation driven by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and dysregulated extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover. Biological macromolecules, such as ECM-derived scaffolds, offer therapeutic potential by mimicking native cartilage composition, yet their rapid enzymatic breakdown hampers regenerative potential. We hypothesized that embedding an MMP inhibitor within ECM could mitigate MMP-driven breakdown, thereby halting OA progression, while stabilizing ECM structure and boosting chondrogenesis.

Co-infection of and influenza A virus complicates diagnosis and treatment in endemic regions because of overlapping clinical features and potential synergistic inflammation. We describe a 68-year-old woman from Hainan, China, who presented with five days of high fever (39.2 °C), nonproductive cough, eschar formation, lymphadenopathy, cytopenias, elevated liver enzymes, and raised inflammatory markers.
