Article Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the effects of artificial light on ovarian function in female guinea pigs and the possible mechanism.
Methods: The levels of serum sex hormone expression in the natural light group (N) and LED group (L) were detected via ELISA. The differentially expressed proteins and changes to acetylation levels in the ovaries of female guinea pigs from both groups were analysed via 4D-DIA proteomics and 4D-DIA acetylation quantitative proteomics. The potential mechanisms by which artificial light causes ovarian dysfunction in female guinea pigs were identified, and the results of proteomics and acetylation modification studies were validated via WB and IHC.
Results: The androgen, oestrogen, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, and luteinizing hormone levels in guinea pig serum, were lower in the LED group than in the natural light group. Follicle-stimulating hormone and sex hormone-binding globulin exhibit the opposite trend. Proteomics showed the decrease of protein expression levels of StAR, which was verified by WB and IHC. Quantitative proteomics for acetylation revealed that Bmal1 underwent acetylation at 111 sites. The level of Bmal1 acetylation in guinea pig ovaries was verified via WB, which revealed an increasing trend. WB and IHC revealed an increase in the protein levels of TIP60 and Cry1.
Conclusion: Artificial light affects ovarian dysfunction in female guinea pigs may involve the acetylation at site 111 of Bmal1. This affects Cry1 accumulation, inhibits the transcriptional activity of the circadian gene loop, influences StAR formation, and consequently impacts their ovarian function.

Safety of artificial intelligence-assisted optical diagnosis for leaving colorectal polyps in situ during colonoscopy (PRACTICE): a non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial.

Background: Guidelines recommend leaving in situ rectosigmoid polyps diagnosed during colonoscopy that are 5 mm or smaller if the endoscopist optically predicts them to be non-neoplastic. However, no randomised controlled trial has been done to examine the efficacy and safety of this strategy.
Methods: This open-label, multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial enrolled adults age 18 years or older undergoing colonoscopy for screening, surveillance, or clinical indications across four Italian centres.

Uranium dioxide (UO) particles can be released from mines, nuclear fuel manufacturing, reactor accidents, and weapons use. They pose inhalation risks, yet their behavior in the human lung remains poorly understood. This study investigates the long-term chemical alteration and dissolution of µm-sized UO particles in two model lung fluids: Simulated Lung Fluid (SLF) and Artificial Lysosomal Fluid (ALF), representing extracellular and intracellular lung environments, respectively.

Acidochromic fluorescent membranes have garnered significant research interest owing to their potential in real-time environmental monitoring and smart sensing applications. However, the rational design of membranes to optimize their structure-property interplay for enhanced acidochromic performance remains further explored. Herein, we prepared various stimulus-responsive micro/nanofibrous membranes using electrospinning technology by incorporating a fluorescent small molecule (TPECNPy-2) with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to obtain specific properties.

A one-pot strategy was developed to fabricate a strong and ductile elastomer composed of chitin nanocrystals and poly(deep eutectic solvent) (ChNC/PDES), based on a dual-network structure formed through glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)associated modification, polymerization and crosslinking. This approach enables the integrated pretreatment, chemical modification, and nanodispersion of chitin within a lactic acid/choline chloride deep eutectic solvent (DES) system. Whereafter, the ultraviolet initiated polymerization of GMA with ChNC and DES components produced a homogeneous elastomer with a maximum tensile strength of 4.

Hydrogel actuators show tremendous promise for applications in soft robots and artificial muscles. Nevertheless, developing a stretchable hydrogel actuator combining remote actuation and real-time signal feedback remains a challenge. Herein, a light-responsive hydrogel actuator with self-sensing function is fabricated by employing a localized immersion strategy to incorporate polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel network into semi-interpenetrating carbon nanotube/2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofiber/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (CNT/TOCN/PNIPAM) hydrogel.
