Article Abstract
This study investigated functional bacteria, key enzymes, and nitrogen metabolism in vertical flow constructed wetlands (CWs) after exposing to silver, silver sulfide nanoparticles (Ag NPs and AgS NPs), and silver iron (Ag), and silver spatial distribution in CWs for 155 days. Ag NPs and AgS NPs affected species richness and diversity whereas Ag showed the higher the species diversity indices. Sequencing analysis exhibited that Ag NPs or Ag significantly inhibited nitrogen metabolic process by hindering the relative activity of functional enzymes, downregulating relative abundances of nrfA, norB and napA for Ag NPs, nxrA gene for Ag, while AgS NPs inhibited relative abundance of nirA. The above results confirmed that NPs or Ag significantly reduced nitrogen removal and Ag NPs mainly inhibited NO-N removal while Ag significantly suppressed NH-N removal. This study also found that CWs could effectively remove NPs or Ag (about 98 %), and nanoparticles showed higher translocation factors (TFs) values (0.81-1.15 or 0.36), indicating nanoparticles transported easily through substrate layers.

Gastric cancer is a dominating cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. The modern perspective in gastric cancer treatment is the application of nanoparticles (NPs) affecting the growth of cancer cells to increase the effectiveness of anti-tumor therapy. The use of advanced nanosystems that deliver anti-cancer drugs and biologically active substances may strongly rely on the expression of cancer-associated targets.

This study investigates the effects of quercetin-conjugated nanocrystalline cellulose/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide/folic acid nanoparticles (NCC/CTAB/FA NPs) on AGS and A2780 cancer cell lines, focusing on their cytotoxicity and antioxidant capacity. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis revealed an average particle size of 388.70 nm, suitable for cellular uptake and release kinetics.

Cancer represents a significant disease that profoundly impacts human health and longevity. Projections indicate a 47% increase in the global cancer burden by 2040 compared to 2020, accompanied by a further rise in the associated economic burden. Consequently, there is an urgent need to discover and develop new alternative drugs to mitigate the global impact of cancer.

Plant protein-stabilized Pickering nanoemulsions show potential as plant-based milk substitutes; however, their stability is challenged by mechanical stress during transportation and oxidative deterioration during storage. Herein, soybean isolate protein-curcumin composite nanoparticle (SPI-Cur-NPs)-stabilized Pickering nanoemulsions were converted into microcapsule powders via spray-drying with maltodextrin (MD), trehalose anhydrous (TA), and inulin (IN) as wall materials. Robust intermolecular hydrogen bonds and an amorphous structure were formed using composite wall materials, reducing microcapsule surface fissures while improving encapsulation rate (92.

Currently, the increasing use of nickel metal-organic frameworks (Ni-MOF) and nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) has raised concerns regarding their potential environmental impact on wastewater treatment systems. Herein, the responses of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) and algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge (AB-AGS) to Ni-MOF and NiO NPs were investigated. The results showed that Ni-MOF concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 mg/L significantly reduced nutrient removal in both systems, particularly affecting ammonia, nitrite, and phosphorus removal, while denitrification processes remained stable.
