Piezocatalysis holds remarkable potential for enabling eco-friendly and sustainable HO production. In this study, a porous nanosheet-structured ZnO was synthesized morphological engineering, demonstrating an enhanced surface area and superior stress responsiveness. Furthermore, a carbon layer derived from sodium lignosulfonate was introduced to construct a series of porous C/ZnO composites. The optimized catalyst effectively promotes the oxygen reduction reaction pathway, achieving a high HO production rate of 4604.0 μmol g h in pure water without any cocatalysts or sacrificial agents. Combined experimental results and characterization analyses reveal that the carbon layer facilitates interfacial electron transfer and advances oxygen adsorption and activation, thereby substantially boosting catalytic performance. This work offers meaningful insights and a strategic reference for the development of advanced multifunction piezocatalytic systems.

Some patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have demonstrated evidence of exercise-induced arterial hypoxaemia (EIAH). However, EIAH was not quantified using , , and measurements as previously conducted in healthy adults nor was EIAH quantified alongside simultaneous measurements of pulmonary vascular pressures, cardiorespiratory responses, or dyspnoea on exertion (DOE) in these patients. Given the effects of hypoxaemia on pulmonary vasoconstriction, cardiorespiratory responses, and DOE, we tested the hypothesis that patients with HFpEF and EIAH (EIAH) would demonstrate higher pulmonary vascular pressures, worse oxygen uptake, and greater DOE compared with patients without EIAH (EIAH).

Magnetic-field enhancement of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) represents a promising route toward more efficient alkaline water electrolyzers, yet its origin remains debated due to overlapping effects of mass transport and reaction kinetics. Here, we present a general experimental strategy that employs strong forced convection to suppress uncontrolled transport arising from natural diffusion and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. Using polycrystalline Au electrodes, we show that this approach resolves subtle OER variations under controlled flow and field conditions.

Background: Benzene, a ubiquitous industrial chemical, is a well-established environmental toxin associated with hematological disorders such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which are characterized by impaired hematopoiesis and bone marrow failure. This study investigates the role of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, in benzene-induced hematotoxicity, focusing on the repression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a critical regulator of ferroptosis.
Materials And Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to benzene at various doses over six weeks.

Histomonas meleagridis is a parasitic protozoan which causes histomoniasis (blackhead disease) in a wide range of birds, including domesticated chickens and turkeys, representing a significant health problem in avian veterinary medicine. Despite being classified as an anaerobic parasite, H. meleagridis can survive transient exposure to oxygen while little is known about the mechanisms that allow this organism to cope with exposure to varying oxygen levels.

Accelerating the rate-limiting surface Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox cycling is pivotal for efficient iron-mediated Fenton-like decontamination, yet conventional reductants (e.g., toxic hydroxylamine, thiosulfate) suffer from secondary toxicity, self-quenching, and heavy metal leaching.
