摘要：
Photo-assisted catalytic uranium reduction is recognized as an innovative approach for the treatment of uranium-laden wastewater, yet it currently encounters challenges, including difficulties in carrier separation, a scarcity of active sites, and uncertainties regarding the catalytic mechanism. Herein, a novel Co 3 O 4 /P-PHI S-scheme heterojunction with well-defined Lewis acid and base sites was developed for efficient photocatalytic uranium reduction and methanol oxidation . The Lewis base sites of the terminal C N groups on P-PHI facilitate the reduction of positively charged uranyl, and electron-deficient Lewis acid sites of Co-OH on Co 3 O 4 are liable to donate protons for the facile CHOH 3 adsorption and oxidation to *CH 2 O and CH 2 O. These coexistent acid and base sites result in a strong synergistic effect in photocatalytic aerobic uranium reduction. Moreover, S-scheme charge transfer mechanism based on the energy band alignment is proved by radical formation, UPS analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical analyses indicate that the transfer and separation of photogenerated carriers are effectively enhanced within the S-scheme heterojunction. Benefiting from efficient carrier separation and abundant active sites, the photocatalytic reduction of U(VI) attains an efficiency rate of 99.6 % in 30 min under atmospheric air conditions on 4 % Co 3 O 4 /P-PHI, which is ∼7.6 × faster than that of pristine P-PHI. This research underscores the potential of employing a strategy centered on Lewis acid and base sites for the photo-assisted catalytic reduction of uranium.

摘要：
As lncRNAs have increasingly been investigated, they are no longer simply defined as RNAs with no transcription capability. Studies have identified significant associations between the abnormal expression of lncRNAs and human diseases, particularly the mechanisms by which lncRNAs play a part in cancers, which are of considerable attention to researchers. As a result of the complex spatial structure, the mechanisms of interaction of lncRNAs in cancer cells are also complicated and diversified. Among a series of lncRNAs, TUG1, which is now considered to be a very high-value lncRNA, has recently been identified to express abnormally in some malignancies, leading to different alterations in cancer cells proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and drug resistance, and hence promoting or inhibiting cancer progression. Current studies have implicitly indicated that TUG1 can be used as a therapeutic target for human cancers. However, the biological functions of TUG1 have been studied for a short period of time, and the complete molecular mechanism still needs to be clarified. Accordingly, this review focuses on the principal molecular mechanisms of TUG1 in human cancers and the specific mechanisms of action in different cancer development processes based on existing studies.

摘要：
Cancer is one of the main reasons for death, and it threatens human life and health. Both the environment and genes can lead to cancers. It dates back more than a million years; more importantly, tumor cells can not be detected until they grow to a large number. Currently, cancers are treated with surgical excision or non-surgical procedures. By studying the interaction between ncRNAs and PKM2, we aim to provide new targets for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for cancers. Read relevant articles and made a summary and classification. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNAs that do not code for proteins. They perform a function in transcription and translation and can be used as targets for cancer therapy. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a form of PKM, and it catalyzes the glycolysis of the final cellular processes to promote tumorigenesis. Not only that, but it also plays non-metabolic functions, including the expression of the gene, cell proliferation, cell migration, and tumor angiogenesis in cancer cells. The existing studies have found that microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) can promote or inhibit the aerobic glycolysis of cancer cells by affecting PKM2, which increases or decrease the risk of cancers and affect the progression of cancers. This review focuses on the mechanism of ncRNAs regulating PKM2 in cancers and summarizes the roles of some ncRNAs.

摘要：
The production of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) through photosynthesis represents a highly efficient and environmentally sustainable approach. Nonetheless, the scalability of photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production remains constrained by factors such as slow reaction kinetics and the rapid recombination of charge carriers. This study elaborates on the rational design of a uniform S-scheme SCN/V S -SnS 2 , which effectively minimizes the charge transfer distance while simultaneously enhancing the electric field at the interface. The charge transfer by the S-scheme pathway was confirmed by in situ irradiated XPS spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). The improvement effectively optimizes electron transfer pathways via an S-scheme mechanism, showcasing a promising advancement in charge transport efficiency. The optimized SCN/V S -SnS 2 demonstrates an H 2 O 2 evolution rate of 232.4 μ mol g -1 h −1 with pure water at a pH of 7, which surpasses that of most CN-based materials. Experimental and theoretical results reveal that S vacancies in V S -SnS 2 facilitates hole-water oxidation reaction (WOR), whereas S doping site in SCN promotes oxygen activation during oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), ultimately lowering the energy barrier for H 2 O 2 evolution. The present interface regulation strategy presents a novel perspective on the design of efficient 2D/2D S-scheme photocatalysts to produce H 2 O 2 .

摘要：
Herein, we disclosed a highly efficient pathway toward 3-selenylated chromone derivatives via electrocatalytic cascade selenylation/cyclization/deamination of 2-hydroxyaryl enaminones with diselenides. This method showed mild conditions, easy operation, wide substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance. Furthermore, this electrosynthesis strategy was amendable to scale-up the reaction. Additionally, the preliminary experiments revealed that this reaction probably proceeded via a cation pathway instead of a radical pathway.

摘要：
Sirtuins are a family of NAD + -dependent deacetylases that regulate some important biological processes, including lipid metabolism and autophagy, through their deacetylase function. Autophagy is a new discovery in the field of lipid metabolism, which may provide a new idea for the regulation of lipid metabolism. There are many tandem parts in the regulation process of lipid metabolism and autophagy of sirtuins protein family. This paper summarized these tandem parts and proposed the possibility of sirtuins regulating lipid autophagy, as well as the interaction and synergy between sirtuins protein family. Currently, some natural drugs have been reported to affect metabolism by regulating sirtuins, some of which regulate autophagy by targeting sirtuins.

摘要：
PIWI proteins have a strong correlation with PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), which are significant in development and reproduction of organisms. Recently, emerging evidences have indicated that apart from the reproductive function, PIWI/piRNAs with abnormal expression, also involve greatly in varieties of human cancers. Moreover, human PIWI proteins are usually expressed only in germ cells and hardly in somatic cells, so the abnormal expression of PIWI proteins in different types of cancer offer a promising opportunity for precision medicine. In this review, we discussed current researches about the biogenesis of piRNA, its epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in human cancers, such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation, histone modifications, DNA methylation and RNA interference, providing novel insights into the markers for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis in human cancers.
