AB  - This study considers the influence of purity and surface area on the thermal and oxidation properties of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanoplatelets, which represent crucial factors in hightemperature oxidizing environments. Three h-BN nanoplatelet-based materials, synthesized with different purity levels and surface areas (~3, ~56, and ~140 m2/g), were compared, including a commercial BN reference. All materials were systematically analyzed by various characterization techniques, including gas pycnometry, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fouriertransform infrared radiation, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, gas sorption analysis, and thermal gravimetric analysis coupled with differential scanning calorimetry. Results indicated that the thermal stability and oxidation resistance of the synthesized materials were improved by up to ~13.5% (or by 120 ◦C) with an increase in purity. Furthermore, the reference material with its high purity and low surface area (~4 m2/g) showed superior performance, which was attributed to the minimized reactive sites for oxygen diffusion due to lower surface area availability and fewer possible defects, highlighting the critical roles of both sample purity and accessible surface area in h-BN thermooxidative stability. These findings highlight the importance of focusing on purity and surface area control in developing BN-based nanomaterials, offering a path to enhance their performance in extreme thermal and oxidative conditions.

AB  - Hafnium carbide (HfC) is a refractory compound known for its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. This compound has gained significant attention in materials science and engineering due to its high melting point, extreme hardness, and excellent thermal stability. This study presents crystal structure prediction via energy landscape explorations of pristine hafnium carbide supplemented by data mining. Apart from the well-known equilibrium rock salt phase, we predict eight new polymorphs of HfC. The predicted HfC phases appear in the energy landscape with known structure types such as the WC type, NiAs type, 5-5 type, sphalerite (ZnS) type, TlI type, and CsCl type; in addition, we predict two new structure types denoted as ortho_HfC and HfC_polytype, respectively. Moreover, we have investigated the structural characteristics and mechanical properties of hafnium carbide at the DFT level of computation, which opens diverse applications in various technological domains.

AB  - Radiation‑induced normal tissue toxicity is a common acute and chronic outcome of radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PCa). There are currently no existing pre‑assessments before treatment to predict acute and late RT‑induced toxicity. Novel predictive blood biomarkers in radiation oncology may improve treatment decision‑making and therapeutic monitoring for patients with PCa. A comprehensive systematic search of microRNA (miRNA/miR) profiling studies published in PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar was performed. The present systematic review, supported by meta‑analysis, summarises key findings and discusses the results of prospective clinical studies investigating miRNA expression levels and their association with RT‑induced toxicity in PCa. Out of seven clinical studies, six highlighted levels of 10 miRNAs changing in plasma, serum or peripheral blood mononuclear cells during RT. The post‑RT expression levels of miRNA‑132‑5p, miRNA‑1‑3p, miRNA‑410 and miRNA‑221 were increased, and miRNA‑23a‑3p expression was decreased among patients with low‑grade RT‑induced toxicity. Furthermore, in patients with high‑grade RT toxicity, miRNA‑197‑3p, miRNA‑151a‑5p, miRNA‑18b‑5p, miRNA‑99a and miRNA‑21 expression was increased, while miRNA‑132‑5p expression was decreased. The present miRNA meta‑analysis could be the focus of future studies to identify their potential clinical value as PCa biomarkers and therapeutic mediators in RT‑induced toxicity. The variations in miRNA levels post‑RT could be used as predictive biomarkers of RT‑induced toxicity. However, further extensive validation is required to establish the relationship between miRNA expression levels and RT‑induced toxicity in PCa and to confirm their predictive value.

AB  - In the last few decades, aluminum nitride (AlN) and boron nitride (BN) have become a point of interest to many researchers and scholars from different disciplines around the world. Due to its attractive properties, AlN has been successfully used in various applications, starting from advanced ceramics materials, additive for grain size control in micro-alloyed steels, through optoelectronics and microelectronics, and finally to semiconductors. On the other hand, BN has broad applications in various fields, such as 2D material, lubricant material, superhard and semiconductor material as well as many others. This study focuses on the mixed AlN/BN compounds, in particular, boron-rich AlN and aluminum-rich BN systems, thus having the entire range of AlN/BN compositions. The special focus was on structural properties investigated using the hybrid B3LYP method. Important structural properties were investigated to offer novel technological and industrial applications of mixed AlN/BN materials.

AB  - In this study, nanochitosan dots (ChiDs) were synthesized using gamma rays and encapsulated in bacterial cellulose (BC) polymer matrix for antibiofilm potential in photodynamic therapy. The composites were analyzed for structural changes using SEM, AFM, FTIR, XRD, EPR, and porosity measurements. Additionally, ChiD release was assessed. The results showed that the chemical composition remained unaltered, but ChiD agglomerates embedded in BC changed shape (1.5–2.5 µm). Bacterial cellulose fibers became deformed and interconnected, with increased surface roughness and porosity and decreased crystallinity. No singlet oxygen formation was observed, and the total amount of released ChiD was up to 16.10%. Antibiofilm activity was higher under green light, with reductions ranging from 48 to 57% under blue light and 78 to 85% under green light. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was the most sensitive strain. The new photoactive composite hydrogels show promising potential for combating biofilm-related infections.

AB  - LaFSe and LaFS materials have shown great potential for various optoelectronic applications, such as photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors. Mixed LaFSe/LaFS compounds have been synthesized through high-temperature experiments. The introduction of sulfur into LaFSe causes distortion in the crystal lattice, leading to changes in the unit cell. A new algorithm is presented that keeps the symmetries of the mixed LaFSe/LaFS phases, and it is combined with ab initio structure optimization in order to efficiently generate and compute models for solid solution-type compounds. There is good agreement between experimental and theoretical data, and additional predicted structures under extreme conditions in various lanthanoid fluoride selenides/sulfides have been introduced. The substitution of selenium for sulfur within the LaFSe lattice can result in some unusual electronic properties, including changes in the size of the band gap, the character of the gap, and the electronic structure of the material.

AB  - Since their discovery, iron and hydrogen have been two of the most interesting elements in scientific research, with a variety of known and postulated compounds and applications. Of special interest in materials engineering is the stability of such materials, where hydrogen embrittlement has gained particular importance in recent years. Here, we present the results for the Fe-H system. In the past, most of the work on iron hydrides has been focused on hydrogen-rich compounds since they have a variety of interesting properties at extreme conditions (e.g. superconductivity). However, we present the first atomistic study of an iron-rich Fe4H compound which has been predicted using a combination of data mining and quantum mechanical calculations. Novel structures have been discovered in the Fe4H chemical system for possible experimental synthesis at the atomistic level.

The technique is applied for the measurement of thermophysical properties of electroconductive solids over a wide temperature range, i.e., from room temperature up to about 2300°C. Absolute and radiance temperatures of a tested material are measured by thermocouple and radiation thermometer, respectively and these and other experimental data are then reduced to the values of specific heat, specific electrical resistivity, hemispherical total emissivity and normal spectral emissivity of the tested material. The related data reduction and corresponding uncertainty assessment for each property is described in detail. An example of uncertainty assessment is given for the recent measurement of specific heat, specific electrical resistivity, hemispherical total emissivity and normal spectral emissivity at 900 nm of molybdenum alloy TZM specimens.

AB  - In our recent publication we investigated the impact of plasmon-phonon hybridization on the stopping force acting on a charged particle moving parallel to a sandwich-like structure consisting of two graphene sheets separated by a layer of sapphire. In this work we evaluate the stopping force on a charged particle moving parallel to a graphene layer biased with a drift electric current supported by an insulating substrate. The dielectric function of the system is written in terms of the response function of graphene and the bulk dielectric function of the substrate. Focusing on the range of frequencies from THz to mid-infrared, the response function is expressed in terms of a frequency-dependent conductivity of graphene. The conductivity with a drift current is evaluated using the Galilean Doppler shift model. The energy loss function (the imaginary part of the negative value of the inverse dielectric function) and the stopping force are presented in the cases without and with drifting electrons, showing the effects of the drift velocity on the plasmon-phonon hybridization. The stopping force is also calculated when the drift and electron beam velocities have the same and opposite signs.

We review a possibility to measure the CP violating mixing angle between scalar and pseudoscalar states of the extended Higgs sector, at 1 TeV ILC with the ILD detector.

AB  - We have measured the excitation and emission spectra, and lifetime for Fe3+ in the Ca8Mg(SiO4)4Cl2 compound. The spectroscopic data of the ferric ion (Fe3+) is interpreted within the framework of the Tanabe-Sugano crystal field theory for ions with the d5 electronic configuration. Quantitative evaluation of the Racah parameters B and C and the crystal field parameter (10 Dq) is provided. The emission and excitation data are consistent for Fe3+ in a tetrahedral-site occupancy. The red emission is assigned to the 4T1 (4G)→6A1 (6S) crystal field transition. The remarkable feature of the luminescence is the positioning of the emission band; it is centered at 623 nm with a Full Width at Half Maximum of 51 nm. To the best of our knowledge this is one of the highest energy emission for the tetrahedral-site Fe3+ ion. The practical implication of this spectral power distribution is discussed. The temperature dependency of the luminescence lifetime and emission intensity are reported.

AB  - Ferrofluids based on magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have been widely studied as multipurpose agents in various medical applications including magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To increase their stability and compatibility with the living cells and thus improve their suitability for these purposes, the IONPs are often functionalized with different organic or inorganic molecules. In this work we report on the preparation of polyvinilpyrrolidone (PVP) functionalized IONPs through a simple co-precipitation method and investigated their suitability for magnetic hyperthermia and as a MRI contrast agent. Spherical PVP-coated IONPs, with an average particle size of ≈ 15 nm, showed superparamagnetic behavior and high saturation magnetization Ms = 80.7 emug−1, at room temperature. The specific absorption rate (SAR), a measure of the heating ability, ranged from 17 W/g to 721 W/g (evaluated for various combinations of AC magnetic field amplitudes and frequencies), while the intrinsic loss power (ILP) was in the range from 0.53 nHm2 kg−1 to 2.34 nHm2 kg−1. In addition to relatively good heating ability, high T2 relaxivity, r2 = 126 mM−1 s−1 and high r2/r1 ratio demonstrated that the preparation procedure used here can yield nanoparticles suitable for MRI guided localized magnetic hyperthermia.

AB  - The treatment of infected diabetic wounds faces severe challenges due to vascular deficiencies induced by a hyperglycemia microenvironment and the extensive proliferation of drug-resistant bacteria. In this work, we developed a glucose-responsive hydrogel dressing system (CGH) with dual properties that effectively treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-infected wounds in rats and enhance wound healing. The hydrogel is synthesized using copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) cross-linked with oxidized hyaluronic acid (HA-ALD) in situ and decorated with glucose oxidase (GOx). GOx enzymatically degrades excess glucose at the wound site, generating gluconic acid and H2O2, and optimizes the limiting factors of the Fenton reaction. Decreasing pH weakens the interaction between CuNCs and HA-ALD, resulting in the release of CuNCs that catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by degradation of H2O2 through the Fenton reaction. This process can eradicate drug-resistant bacteria. In addition, CuNCs endowed hydrogels with excellent conductivity, thus enabling the promotion of blood vessel formation by electrical stimulation (ES), thereby facilitating tissue repair around the wound area. In conclusion, the developed novel multifunctional wound healing system can conform to irregular wound shapes, reduce glucose levels within the wound, establish a sustained sterile environment, and promote blood vessel formation through electrical stimulation, thus emerging as a highly promising and comprehensive option for effectively treating complex diabetic wounds.

Decreasing pH weakens the interaction between CuNCs and HA-ALD, resulting in the release of CuNCs that catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by degradation of H2O2 through the Fenton reaction. This process can eradicate drug-resistant bacteria. In addition, CuNCs endowed hydrogels with excellent conductivity, thus enabling the promotion of blood vessel formation by electrical stimulation (ES), thereby facilitating tissue repair around the wound area. In conclusion, the developed novel multifunctional wound healing system can conform to irregular wound shapes, reduce glucose levels within the wound, establish a sustained sterile environment, and promote blood vessel formation through electrical stimulation, thus emerging as a highly promising and comprehensive option for effectively treating complex diabetic wounds.",

AB  - The azimuthal anisotropy of Υ(1S) mesons in high-multiplicity proton-lead collisions is studied using data collected by the CMS experiment at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 8.16 TeV. The Υ(1S) mesons are reconstructed using their dimuon decay channel. The anisotropy is characterized by the second Fourier harmonic coefficients, found using a two-particle correlation technique, in which the Υ(1S) mesons are correlated with charged hadrons. A large pseudorapidity gap is used to suppress short-range correlations. Nonflow contamination from the dijet background is removed using a low-multiplicity subtraction method, and the results are presented as a function of Υ(1S) transverse momentum. The azimuthal anisotropies are smaller than those found for charmonia in proton-lead collisions at the same collision energy, but are consistent with values found for Υ(1S) mesons in lead-lead interactions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV.

AB  - In this work, we successfully prepared a modified cobalt oxide (Co3O4) carbon paste electrode to detect Levofloxacin (LEV). By synthesizing Co3O4 nanoparticles through the chemical coprecipitation method, the electrochemical properties of the electrode and LEV were thoroughly investigated using CV, SWV, and EIS, while material properties were scrutinized using ICP-OES, TEM, SEM, and XRD. The results showed that the prepared electrode displayed a better electrocatalytic response than the bare carbon paste electrode. After optimizing SWV, the electrode exhibited a wide linear working range from 1 to 85 μM at pH 5 of BRBS as the supporting electrolyte. The selectivity of the proposed method was satisfactory, with good repeatability and reproducibility, strongly suggesting a potential application for determining LEV in real samples, particularly in pharmaceutical formulations. The practicality of the approach was demonstrated through good recoveries, and the morphology of the materials was found to be closely related to other parameters, indicating that the developed method can provide a cost-effective, rapid, selective, and sensitive means for LEV monitoring. Overall, this project has made significant progress towards developing a reliable method for detecting LEV and has opened up new opportunities for future research in this field.

AB  - In this study, we successfully prepared a modified nickel oxide (NiO) carbon paste electrode to detect gallic acid (GA). NiO nanoparticles were synthesized by the simple, organic solvent-free chemical coprecipitation method, and the electrochemical properties of the electrode and GA were thoroughly investigated using CV, SWV, and EIS, while morphological properties were examined using ICP-OES, TEM, SEM, and XRD. Excellent catalytic characteristics are displayed by the developed material which facilitates the interaction of the target with the electrode surface. The obtained electrochemical information showed that the incorporation of NiO nanoparticles to the carbon paste electrode effectively facilitates electron transfer processes and enriches the catalytic response of the carbon paste electrode. The fabricated NiO/CPE sensor showed a satisfactory linear relationship between peak current and GA concentration in the broad range of 0.2–100 μM and 100–200 μM with a low detection limit of 0.04 μM and limit of quantification of 0.12 μM at pH 3 of BRBS as supporting electrolyte. The selectivity of the proposed method was satisfactory, with acceptable stability, considerable repeatability, and accurate reproducibility. Moreover, the good practicability performance could be effectuated at the NiO/CPE sensor for the quantitative analysis of GA in bourtree, walnut, primrose, and chamomile tea samples. The results were compared with the standard DPPH test and statistical processing of the results was performed, which confirmed the excellent agreement between the two methods. The developed method can provide a cost-effective, rapid, selective, and sensitive means for GA monitoring. When compared to other works, the developed technique has a wider linear range and lower LOD and LOQ, which makes this work a very important reference for the highly sensitive analysis of GA in the field of food safety.

AB  - This study investigates the impact of Co–Mo–W ionic activators on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline electrolysis, comparing their performance to Co–Mo and Co–W systems. The research focuses on analyzing the catalytic efficiency of these activators under varying conditions, including temperature and current density variations. Key findings reveal that the Co–Mo–W activator enhances HER performance, with a significant 17% reduction in energy consumption compared to plain electrolyte, mirroring the efficiency of Co–Mo. Tafel analysis gave the insight of the reaction mechanism for HER for all activators, with Co–Mo–W exhibiting a lower Tafel slope, suggesting improved catalytic activity. Structural and morphological analysis of electrode coatings shows a highly developed surface for Co–Mo–W, with a roughness factor similar to or slightly lower than the most developed Co–Mo coating. The study concludes that the synergistic combination of Co, Mo, and W in a tri-component ionic activator offers a promising catalytic activity for HER, outperforming bi-component systems and presenting significant potential for industrial-scale alkaline water electrolysis applications.

AB  - Clinical interpretation of an electrocardiogram (ECG) can be detrimentally affected by noise. Removal of the electromyographic (EMG) noise is particularly challenging due to its spectral overlap with the QRS complex. The existing EMG-denoising algorithms often distort signal morphology, thus obscuring diagnostically relevant information. Here, a new iterative regeneration method (IRM) for efficient EMG-noise suppression is proposed. The main hypothesis is that the temporary removal of the dominant ECG components enables extraction of the noise with the minimum alteration to the signal. The method is validated on SimEMG database of simultaneously recorded reference and noisy signals, MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and synthesized ECG signals, both with the noise from MIT Noise Stress Test Database. IRM denoising and morphology-preserving performance is superior to the wavelet- and FIR-based benchmark methods. : IRM is reliable, computationally non-intensive, fast and applicable to any number of ECG channels recorded by mobile or standard ECG devices.

AB  - This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of adsorption and photocatalysis techniques at removing the herbicide clomazone (CLO) and the antidepressant known as amitriptyline (AMI) from water. This study employed kinetic models to analyze the removal processes and assess the potential toxicity of the treated water. The structure and morphology of the prepared multi-walled carbon nanotubes were characterized as adsorbents by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared techniques, and Raman spectroscopy. The adsorption kinetics of CLO and AMI were studied on the pristine and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Kinetic studies were performed by modeling the obtained experimental data using three kinetic models: pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich kinetic models. On the other hand, the efficiency of CLO and AMI photodegradation was examined as a function of the type of irradiation (UV and simulated solar irradiation) and type of TiO2 photocatalyst (Aeroxide and Kronos). Under the experimental conditions employed, the reaction followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Additionally, in order to assess the toxicity of water containing CLO, AMI, and their intermediates, toxicity assessments were conducted using human fetal lung fibroblast cells. The results obtained indicate the effectiveness of both methods and provide valuable insights into their removal mechanisms, contributing to the advancement of sustainable water treatment strategies.

abstract = "This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of adsorption and photocatalysis techniques at removing the herbicide clomazone (CLO) and the antidepressant known as amitriptyline (AMI) from water. This study employed kinetic models to analyze the removal processes and assess the potential toxicity of the treated water. The structure and morphology of the prepared multi-walled carbon nanotubes were characterized as adsorbents by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared techniques, and Raman spectroscopy. The adsorption kinetics of CLO and AMI were studied on the pristine and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Kinetic studies were performed by modeling the obtained experimental data using three kinetic models: pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich kinetic models. On the other hand, the efficiency of CLO and AMI photodegradation was examined as a function of the type of irradiation (UV and simulated solar irradiation) and type of TiO2 photocatalyst (Aeroxide and Kronos). Under the experimental conditions employed, the reaction followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Additionally, in order to assess the toxicity of water containing CLO, AMI, and their intermediates, toxicity assessments were conducted using human fetal lung fibroblast cells.

AB  - While the effects of chronic exposure to microplastic particles (MPs) are extensively studied, the outcomes of a single treatment have received relatively less attention. To investigate MPs’ potential acute toxicity, including their impact on general health status (victual consumption, sensorimotor deficits, and clinical toxicity signs) and serum biochemical parameters (markers of organ/tissue function and oxidative stress indicators), we administered thoroughly characterized MPs (1.4, 35, or 125 mg/kg), generated from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, to adult male Wistar rats via oral gavage. The MPs’ short-term effects were assessed with well-established tests and methods. The results point to the absence of sensorimotor deficits and clinical toxicity signs, while levels of markers of liver, heart, and kidney function were altered in all MP groups. Decreased victual consumption and increased levels of oxidative stress indicators were evident following treatment with the two higher MP doses. Presented data indicate that examined MPs are able to initiate the development of local changes in tissues and organs within a short time frame, potentially leading to their damage and dysfunction. This study may increase the awareness of the detrimental effects of plastic contamination, as even a single exposure to MPs may provoke adverse health outcomes.

AB  - In the present work, a nanocomposite, based on embedding Co-doped CeO2 nanoparticles into graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), was applied to functionalize commercial glassy carbon paste. This is the first application of the electrochemical sensor, developed through the proposed procedure, in electrochemical sensing. The sensor was utilized for the electrochemical determination of organophosphate pesticide fenitrothion (FNT). Cyclic voltammetry identified reversible oxidation of FNT (oxidation at 0.18 V and reduction at 0.13 V) and additional reduction at 0.62 V vs. Ag/AgCl in HCl solution (pH =1). Theoretical calculations were carried out to model and elucidate experimentally observed redox processes. Special attention was devoted to modeling experimental conditions, and based on the obtained results, a detailed redox mechanism of the investigated analyte was proposed. This represents the first complete and unambiguous elucidation of the FNT redox mechanism, supported by joined experimental and theoretical data. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) was utilized for quantification, whereby the FNT oxidation peak was chosen for monitoring the analyte concentration. The developed sensor provided a nanomolar detection limit (3.2 nmol L 1), a wide linear concentration range (from 0.01 to 13.7 μmol L 1), and good precision, repeatability, and selectivity towards FNT. Practical application possibility was explored by testing the sensor performance for examining tap water and apple samples. Recovery tests, conducted during the FNT-spiked sample assays, showed a great application capability of the developed sensor for real-time monitoring of FNT traces in environmental samples.

AB  - Pesticides commonly used in the Republic of Serbia (tebuconazole, pendimethalin, pyraclostrobin, propiconazole, and famoxadone) have high stability, so their potential toxicity to humans needs to be investigated. These pesticides are in use in the Republic of Serbia in various formulations. Their toxicity and interactions with acetylcholinesterase were thoroughly investigated in this study using computational tools. The ADMET (Adsorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity) study showed that all of them are good oral compounds, and that pendimethalin was a mutagenic compound. Glide scores ranged from -18.41 kJ mol-1 (pendimethalin) to -27.61 kJ mol-1 (famoxadone) in Mus musculus, and from -19.58 kJ mol-1 (pendimethalin) to -24.31 kJ mol-1 (propiconazole) in Homo sapiens. In addition, the experimental stability of the pesticides solutions in methanol was studied using the fast GC-MS (retention times of the studied pesticides ranged from 14.47 min (pendimethalin) to 22 min (famoxadone)). They showed good stability over time, apart from pyraclostrobin which decomposed mainly into its des-methoxy derivative after 20 months. Based on the promising modeling results, pyraclostrobin and famoxadone emerge as potential candidates for further investigation in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, taking care to increase their stability.

Осим тога, експериментална стабилност раствора пестицида у метанолу је проучавана коришћењем ГХ-МС (ретенциона времена проучаваних пестицида се кретала од 14.47 мин (пендиметалин) до 22 мин (фамоксадон)). Они показују добру стабилност током времена, осим пираклостробина који се углавном распада на свој дез-метокси дериват после 20 месеци. На основу обећавајућих резултата моделовања, пираклостробин и фамоксадон се појављују као потенцијални кандидати који се могу даље изучавати као третман за Алцхајмерову болест, водећи рачина да се повећа њихова стабилност.

AB  - Engineering human enzymes for therapeutic applications is attractive but introducing new amino acids may adversely affect enzyme stability and immunogenicity. Here we used a mammalian membrane-tethered screening system (ECSTASY) to evolve human lysosomal beta-glucuronidase (hBG) to hydrolyze a glucuronide metabolite (SN-38G) of the anticancer drug irinotecan (CPT-11). Three human beta-glucuronidase variants (hBG3, hBG10 and hBG19) with 3, 10 and 19 amino acid substitutions were identified that display up to 40-fold enhanced enzymatic activity, higher stability than E. coli beta-glucuronidase in human serum, and similar pharmacokinetics in mice as wild-type hBG. The hBG variants were two to three orders of magnitude less immunogenic than E. coli beta-glucuronidase in hBG transgenic mice. Intravenous administration of an immunoenzyme (hcc49-hBG10) targeting a sialyl-Tn tumor-associated antigen to mice bearing human colon xenografts significantly enhanced the anticancer activity of CPT-11 as measured by tumor suppression and mouse survival. Our results suggest that genetically-modified human enzymes represent a good alternative to microbially-derived enzymes for therapeutic applications.

AB  - Gold chloride clusters play an important role in catalysis and materials chemistry. Due to the diversity of their species and isomers, there is still a dearth of structural studies at the molecular level. In this work, anions of AunCln+3- and AunCln+5- (n = 2–4) clusters were obtained by laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS), and the most stable isomers of AunCln+3- were determined after a thorough search and optimization at the TPSSh/aug-cc-pVTZ/ECP60MDF level. The results indicate that all isomers with the lowest energy have a planar zigzag skeleton. In each species, there is one Au(III) atom at the edge connected with four Cl atoms, which sets it from the other Au(I) atoms. Four growth pathways for AunCln+3- (n = 2–7) clusters are proposed (labelled R1, R2, R3 and R4). They are all associated with an aurophilic contact and are exothermic. The binding energies tend to stabilize at ~ −41 kcal/mol when the size of the cluster increases in all pathways. The pathway R1, which connects all the most stable isomers of the respective clusters, is characterized by cluster growth due to aurophilic interactions at the terminal atom of Au(I) in the zigzag chains. In the pathway of R4 involving Au-Au bonding in its initial structures (n ≤ 3), the distance between intermediate gold atoms grows with cluster size, ultimately resulting in the transfer of the intermediate Au-Au bonding into aurophilic interaction. The size effect on the structure and aurophilic interactions of these clusters will be better understood based on these discoveries, potentially providing new insights into the active but elusive chemical species involved in the corresponding catalytic reactions or nanoparticle synthesis processes.
