A Renal‐Clearable Duplex Optical Reporter for Real‐Time Imaging of Contrast‐Induced Acute Kidney Injury

Despite its high morbidity and mortality, contrast‐induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) remains a diagnostic dilemma because it relies on in vitro detection of insensitive late‐stage blood and urinary biomarkers. We report the synthesis of an activatable duplex reporter (ADR) for real‐time in vivo imaging of CIAKI. ADR is equipped with chemiluminescence and near‐infrared fluorescence (NIRF) signaling channels that can be activated by oxidative stress (superoxide anion, O₂^.?) and lysosomal damage (N‐acetyl‐β‐d ‐glucosaminidase, NAG), respectively. By virtue of its high renal clearance efficiency (80 % injected doses after 24 h injection), ADR detects sequential upregulation of O₂^.? and NAG in the kidneys of living mice prior to a significant decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and tissue damage in the course of CIAKI. ADR outperforms the typical clinical assays and detects CIAKI at least 8 h (NIRF) and up to 16 h (chemiluminescence) earlier.     

TiO_2/CuPc/NiFe-LDH photoanode for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting

Photoelectrochemical(PEC) water splitting is a promising approach for renewable hydrogen production.However,the practical PEC solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency is still low owing to poor light absorption and rapid recombination of charge carriers in photoelectrode.In this work,we report a ternary photoanode with simultaneously enhancement of light absorption and water oxidation efficiency by introducing copper phthalocyanine(CuPc) and nickel iron-laye red double hydroxide(NiFe-LDH) on TiO_2(denoted as TiO_2/CuPc/NiFe-LDH).An experimental study reveals that CuPc loading on TiO_2 bring strong visible light absorption;NiFe-LDH as an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst efficiently accelerates the surface water oxidation reaction.This synergistic effect of CuPc and NiFe-LDH gives enhanced photocurrent density(2.10 mA/cm2 at 0.6 V vs.SCE) and excellent stability in the ternary TiO_2/CuPc/NiFeLDH photoanode.

Responsive Exosome Nano‐bioconjugates for Synergistic Cancer Therapy

Exosomes hold great potential in therapeutic development. However, native exosomes usually induce insufficient effects in vivo and simply act as drug delivery vehicles. Herein, we synthesize responsive exosome nano‐bioconjugates for cancer therapy. Azide‐modified exosomes derived from M1 macrophages are conjugated with dibenzocyclooctyne‐modified antibodies of CD47 and SIRPα (aCD47 and aSIRPα) through pH‐sensitive linkers. After systemic administration, the nano‐bioconjugates can actively target tumors through the specific recognition between aCD47 and CD47 on the tumor cell surface. In the acidic tumor microenvironment, the benzoic‐imine bonds of the nano‐bioconjugates are cleaved to release aSIRPα and aCD47 that can, respectively, block SIRPα on macrophages and CD47, leading to abolished “don't eat me” signaling and improved phagocytosis of macrophages. Meanwhile, the native M1 exosomes effectively reprogram the macrophages from pro‐tumoral M2 to anti‐tumoral M1.     

Efficient Polymer-Supported Pd Catalysts for the Heck Reaction

Some efficient polymer‐supported palladium catalysts have been synthesized. Their catalytic effects were evaluated in the Heck reaction of iodobenzene with acrylates or styrene. High catalytic activities were achieved with turn over frequencies (TOF) up to 28000 and 6250, respectively. For the reaction of iodobenzene with styrene, high stereoselectivity was obtained. Additionally, the catalysts could be recovered by a simple filtration progress and can be reused for at least 5 times with a slow progressive decrease in activity.

It gives the probability mass function of finite time number of claims, and find the distribution function of aggregate claims by using discretise method and compared with exact distribution function, which shows that the approximation works very well. In addition, by applying decomposition for density function, it gives the explicit expression for joint density of ruin time and deficit at ruin.     

GC-MS with ethyl chloroformate derivatization for comprehensive analysis of metabolites in serum and its application to human uremia

An optimized method based on GC-MS with ethyl chloroformate derivatization has been developed for the comprehensive analysis of endogenous metabolites in serum. Twenty-two reference standards and serum samples were used to validate the proposed method. The correlation coefficient was higher than 0.9900 for each of the standards, and the LOD varied from 125 to 300 pg on-column. The analytical equipment exhibited good repeatability (RSD<10%) for all of the standards. Both the repeatability and the within-48-h stability of the analytical method were satisfactory (RSD<10%) for the 18 metabolites identified in the serum samples. Mean recovery was acceptable for the 18 metabolites, ranging from 70% to 120% with RSDs of less than 10%. Using the optimized protocol and a subsequent multivariate statistical technique, complete differentiation was achieved between the metabolic profile of uremic patients and that of age- and sex-matched normal subjects. Significantly decreased levels of valine, leucine, and isoleucine and increased levels of myristic acid and linoleic acid were observed in the patient group. This work demonstrated that this method is suitable for serum-based metabolic profiling studies.
