Modulation of the dissolution with ASP from a supersaturated solution on a bionic platform for gout pathology crystals
Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces. 2024 Feb 15;236:113803. doi: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113803. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe core to the treatment of gout is the elimination of pathologic crystal, monosodium urate monohydrate (MSUM). The primary treatment available is to gradually dissolve the "culprit crystals" by lowering the blood uric acid concentration with medications, which often takes a long time and in severe cases must still be treated surgically. Herein, we developed a dynamic bionic platform based on a hydrogel composite membrane (HCM) to screen the direct facilitated solubilization of MSUM crystals by small o...

Dentin surface modification by MDP to improve dentin bonding stability: Topological enhancement and mineralization of collagen structure in hybrid layers
The objective of the research was to investigate the role and process of remaining calcium salts in the priming procedure and their capacity for remineralization. The investigation focused on the variations in topological structure, mechanical properties, and chemical interactions between the main agent and the dentin surface. Two adhesive modes including prime-and-rinse(P&R) and prime-and-nonrinse (P&NR) utilized to evaluate the bonding performance and remineralization ability. The findings indicated that both P&R and P&NR methods could eliminate the smear-layer, uncover dentinal-tubules, and generate a te...

Impact of UV radiation on Mxene-mediated tubulin dissociation and mitochondrial apoptosis in breast cancer cells
In this study, we investigated the apoptotic activity of MXene and UV-irradiated MXene in MCF-7 breast cancer cells by treating them with varying concentrations of MXene. The cytotoxicity of MXene and UV was evaluated by analyzing cellular morphology, nuclei condensation, caspase activation, and apoptotic cell death. We also assessed the effect of the combined treatment on the expression and cellular distribution of Tubulin, a key component of microtubules required for cell division. At low concentrations of MXene (up to 100 µg/ml), the level of cytotoxicity in MCF-7 cells was low. However, the combined treatment of MXene...

However, the synthesis of chiral carbon dots (CDs) through one-step method is still rather scarce. Herein, a universal approach to green synthesis of chiral CDs at low temperature was proposed. In brief, L-FruCDs and D-FruCDs were obtained by only heating the fructose and chiral cysteine molecules in the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution under atmospheric pressure. Circular dichroism spectra show that these prep...
