Key Clinical Message Delayed intestinal perforation has various manifestations. For peritonitis with delayed treatment and multi‐bacterial peritonitis, we should be alert to the occurrence of this rare complication. Abdominal CT examination and imaging results judgment based on clinical conditions are particularly important for diagnosis. Delayed intestinal perforation of peritoneal dialysis catheter is a rare but serious complication. We reported a 49‐year‐old patient who had been hospitalized twice within 3 months due to poor drainage of the peritoneal dialysis catheter. During the first hospitalization, peritoneal dialysis‐related peritonitis was diagnosed, and a variety of bacterial infections were cultivated. However, at that time, the actual peritoneal dialysis catheter‐related intestinal perforation was missed, and he was discharged after anti‐infection treatment until a clinical cure was met. After more than 2 months of normal peritoneal dialysis after returning home, the patient again had poor drainage of the peritoneal dialysis catheter, accompanied by the outflow of yellowish‐brown sediment. It was found that the peritoneal dialysis catheter had evidence of intestinal perforation. After the removal of the catheter and intestinal repair, he recovered and was discharged from the hospital and received long‐term hemodialysis treatment. In the case of delayed intestinal perforation, peritoneal dialysis was maintained normally for more than 2 months, which was an unprecedented situation in previous case reports. In addition, we should be alert to the occurrence of this rare complication, especially when we find the occurrence of polybacterial Peritonitis. Abdominal CT examination and imaging results judgment based on clinical conditions are particularly important for diagnosis.

Abstract As a kind of bio‐derived feedstock, vegetable oil (VO) shows great potential to replace petroleum‐based monomers to develop sustainable polymer materials because of its easy availability, low cost, bio‐renewable, and environmentally friendly nature. However, due to the high cross‐linking density and amorphous nature, directly cured VOs generally tend to be brittle and weak. To date, it is still difficult to adopt VOs and their derivatives as structural materials to prepare high‐performance elastomers. To address this important issue, a multi‐scale topology design strategy was proposed in this work. First, topology regulation and functionalization of VO‐based networks were realized by managing functional groups proportion during the bulk polymerization of epoxidized soybean oil with dimer fatty acids. Furthermore, a second polymer (SN) network was introduced into the VO‐based network as a protective layer via interfacial cross‐links. The generated VO‐based elastomers (VOEs) exhibit unprecedented comprehensive properties (VO content ≥70 wt.%, Tg as low as −24.4°C, toughness up to 6.8 MJ/m3). Besides, the VOEs also exhibit excellent reprocessability and self‐healing capability. Overall, this work developed a novel kind of VOEs with significant comprehensive advantages and provided important inspiration for the preparation of high‐performance elastomers through multi‐scale topology regulation.

Abstract Background Tumor glycolysis is a critical event for tumor progression. Docetaxel is widely used as a first-line drug for chemotherapy and shown to have a survival advantage. However, the role of docetaxel in tumor glycolysis remained poorly understood. Methods The effect of Docetaxel in tumor glycolysis and proliferation were performed by CCK-8, Western blotting, real-time PCR, glucose, and lactate detection and IHC. ChIP and luciferase assay were used to analyze the mechanism of Docetaxel on Smad3-mediated HIF-1α transactivity. Results In this study, we showed that docetaxel treatment led to a significant inhibition of cell proliferation in prostate cancer cells through PFKP-mediated glycolysis. Addition of lactate, a production of glycolysis, could reverse the inhibitory effect of docetaxel on cell proliferation. Further analysis has demonstrated that phosphorylation of Smad3 (Ser213) was drastically decreased in response to docetaxel stimulation, leading to reduce Smad3 nuclear translocation. Luciferase and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis revealed that docetaxel treatment inhibited the binding of Smad3 to the promoter of the HIF-1α gene, suppressing transcriptional activation of HIF-1α. Moreover, ectopic expression of Smad3 in prostate cancer cells could overcome the decreased HIF-1α expression and its target gene PFKP caused by docetaxel treatment. Most importantly, endogenous Smad3 regulated and interacted with HIF-1α, and this interaction was destroyed in response to docetaxel treatment. What’s more, both HIF-1α and PFKP expression were significantly reduced in prostate cancer received docetaxel treatment in vivo. Conclusion These findings extended the essential role of docetaxel and revealed that docetaxel inhibited cell proliferation by targeting Smad3/HIF-1α signaling-mediated tumor Warburg in prostate cancer cells.

Polydopamine (PDA) is a natural melanin derived from marine mussels that has good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and photothermal conversion ability. As a new coating material, it offers a novel way to modify the surface of various substances. The drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of PDA are greatly improved via the use of mesoporous materials. The abundant pore canals on mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) exhibit a uniquely large surface area, which provides a structural basis for drug delivery. In this review, we systematically summarized the characteristics and manufacturing process of MPDA, introduced its application in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and discussed the existing problems in its development and clinical application. This comprehensive review will facilitate further research on MPDA in the fields of medicine including cancer therapy, materials science, and biology.

The excellent mechanical properties and fatigue-resistance of natural rubber (NR) are closely related to the strain-induced crystallization (SIC) capability of NR, which is originated from the unique network structure of NR. The synthetic counterpart of NR, cis-1,4-polyisoprene (IR) generally possesses inferior mechanical performance due to insufficient SIC capability. In this contribution, amino-functionalized carbon nanodots (CDs) were introduced as high-functionality cross-linkers into sulfur-cured sulfonated IR, aiming to improve the SIC capability of IR. The amino groups on CD surfaces are connected with the sulfonic acid groups on the IR backbones to form ionic bonds, and a covalent crosslinking is concurrently obtained by using sulfur vulcanization, thereby a dually crosslinked IR network is resulted. When the rubber is deformed, the ionic bond breaks preferentially prior to the rupture of covalent bond, leading to efficient energy dissipation. The preferential rupture of the ionic bonds also promotes the orientation process of IR chains and hence SIC capability, as evidenced by lowered onset strain for crystallization and increased crystallinity. The promoted SIC leads to remarkably improved tensile properties. Keywords: cis-1,4-Polyisoprene, Carbon nanodots, Ionic bond, Dual-crosslink, Strain-induced crystallization

Most elastomeric vitrimers suffer from mechanical weakness in practical applications. Inspired by the development of strong and tough biomaterials relying on sacrificial bond-detachment mechanisms, herein we describe the biomimetic design of elastomeric vitrimers with mechanical robustness, preservable malleability, and recyclability by engineering sacrificial metal-ligand coordination bonds into exchangeable networks. In particular, we use a commercially available metal complex, aluminum acetylacetonate (Al(acac)3), to catalyze cross-linking based on the silylation reaction between hydroxylated natural rubber and hydrosilanes, thus introducing dynamic silyl ether-based architectures into the rubber matrix. At the same time, the Al3+ ions can interact with the free oxygen-containing moieties on the rubber skeleton, enabling labile Al3+O coordination bonds in the covalent framework to substantially dissipate mechanical energy through reversible bond detachment/reattachment upon deformation. As the organic acetylacetonate ligands of Al(acac)3 can facilitate the dispersion of Al3+ ions in the matrix, incorporating a small amount of organometallic complex (0.68 wt% of elastomer matrix) achieves an unparalleled improvement of the strength, modulus, and toughness of the resulting vitrimers. Moreover, due to their temperature-dependent nature, the Al3+O coordination bonds will partially dissociate at elevated temperatures, which only slightly compromises the topological rearrangements of the silyl ether-based network, but barely affects the reprocessability.

Although various shape memory polymers (SMPs) or diverse applications have been widely reported, the SMPs based on rubbers have been rarely realized due to the low triggering temperature of rubbers. In another aspect, the SMPs based on sustainable substances are highly desired for the growing shortage in fossil resources. In the present study, we accordingly developed the sustainable SMPs with tunable triggering temperature, based on natural rubber (NR) and ferulic acid (FA) as the raw materials. Specifically, the SMPs are based on a crosslinked network of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) crosslinked by in situ formed zinc ferulate (ZDF) via oxa-Michael reaction. The excellent shape memory effect (SME) is found in these SMPs, as evidenced by the high fixity/recovery ratio and the tunable triggering temperature. With the incorporation of natural halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), the stress and recovery rate of the SMPs are found to be tunable, which widens the application of this kind of SMPs. The combination of adoption of sustainable raw materials, and the excellent and tunable SME makes these SMPs potentially useful in many applications, such as various actuators and heat-shrinkable package materials.

chronic renal disease ,empagliflozin ,empa-kidney ,General Medicine - Abstract
Background The effects of empagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease who are at risk for disease progression are not well understood. The EMPA-KIDNEY trial was designed to assess the effects of treatment with empagliflozin in a broad range of such patients. Methods We enrolled patients with chronic kidney disease who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of at least 20 but less than 45 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area, or who had an eGFR of at least 45 but less than 90 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (with albumin measured in milligrams and creatinine measured in grams) of at least 200. Patients were randomly assigned to receive empagliflozin (10 mg once daily) or matching placebo. The primary outcome was a composite of progression of kidney disease (defined as end-stage kidney disease, a sustained decrease in eGFR to Results A total of 6609 patients underwent randomization. During a median of 2.0 years of follow-up, progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes occurred in 432 of 3304 patients (13.1%) in the empagliflozin group and in 558 of 3305 patients (16.9%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64 to 0.82; PConclusions Among a wide range of patients with chronic kidney disease who were at risk for disease progression, empagliflozin therapy led to a lower risk of progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes than placebo.

We reported the use of an inverse vulcanised polysulfide (SP) as an intelligent interfacial modifier in the NR/CB composites to remarkably decrease the hysteresis loss by enhancing the interfacial adhesion and improving CB dispersion. Specifically, SP synthesized by the bulk copolymerization of sulfur and styrene was grafted onto CB surface by trapping the sulfur radicals generated from SP, and the grafted polysulfides can participate in the crosslinking reaction with NR, which greatly improves CB dispersion and strengthens interfacial adhesion in the composites. As a consequence, the rolling resistance and heat build-up of the modified composites are remarkably decreased, showing great advantages in tire application in term of reducing fuel consumption and extending service life.

Recently, increasingly growing efforts have been devoted to incorporating dynamic covalent bonds into covalently crosslinked networks to address the persistent trade-offs between chemical crosslinking and malleability. Herein, a series of dynamic aminal bond crosslinked polybutadiene rubbers (PAPB) are prepared by crosslinking aldehyde group-terminated polybutadiene rubber (APB) with piperazine. By varying the molecular weight of APB, the crosslinking density of PAPB is changed, which offers the platform to regulate the mechanical characteristics and dynamic properties. Specially, with the decrease of APB molecular weight, i.e. with the increase of crosslinking density, the modulus of PAPB gradually increases while the elongation at break conversely decreases, and the activation energy for network rearrangement initially decreases and then increases. The resultant PAPB exhibit vitrimer-like behaviors that can alter the network topologies at elevated temperatures without the loss of structural integrity through dissociative aminal exchange reactions, while the protic source can accelerate aminal dissociation and result in network dissolution even at room temperature. Due to the aminal exchange, PAPB are thermally malleable and can almost restore the original mechanical characteristics after recycling; besides, they are capable of healing at a relatively low crosslinking density.

Background Roxadustat is a new oral anti-renal anemia medication that works by stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) which can activate the expression of more than 100 genes in addition to genes related to anemia. However, the more potential molecular targets of roxadustat are not completely clear. Therefore, it is essential to further reveal its molecular targets to guide its clinical applications. Methods We performed label-free quantification and LC-MS/MS to study the proteomic alterations in serum exosome of renal anemia patients before and after roxadustat therapy. Results were validated by PRM. Results A total of 30 proteins were significantly changed after treatment with roxadustat. Among these proteins, 18 proteins were up-regulated (and 12 were down-regulated). The results are statistically significant (P Conclusions TFRC and HSPA8 could be an important target of the action of roxadustat, and roxadustat may increase cardiovascular risk through its influence on platelet activation. Our results provide a theoretical basis for its wider clinical application and preventing expected side effects.

Due to the exchangeability of dynamic covalent bonds in the covalent adaptable networks (CANs) at elevated temperature, they possess recyclability while still maintaining many of the superior properties of thermosets. The exploration of dynamic covalent chemistry is of great significance to the expansion of CANs library and hence the sustainable development of thermosets. In this work, we discovered that, in absence of catalyst, the direct metathesis of the cyclic acetals proceeds while the acyclic acetals cannot. The metathesis kinetics of the cyclic acetals were fully revealed with model compounds. For the CANs demonstration, a series of cross-linked spirocyclic acetal polymers with excellent reprocessability, high thermal stability, and high refractivity were prepared via thiol-ene click polymerization. We envisage that the uncovering of the catalyst-free metathesis of cyclic acetals will enrich the dynamic chemistry of acetals and greatly promote the development of acetal-based CANs and their potential applications in optical devices.

Construction of segregated structures in polymer composites is an efficient way to improve the electrical conductivity and reduce the percolation threshold by confining conductive fillers into the interstitial areas between polymer domains. Yet, it remains a great challenge to engineer segregated structures into thermosets as the cross-linked structure prohibits the "sintering" of polymer domains into a coherent material. Thus far, the state of art approaches to create segregated network in cross-linked polymers involve tedious procedures and are limited to latex mixing technology. Here, inspired by solid state plasticity of vitrimers, we present a simple method to create segregated structures in covalently cross-linked networks by compression molding of conductive filler-coated vitrimer granules. Specifically, dynamic boronic ester-cross-linked styrene-butadiene rubber vitrimers was ground into granules and then mechanically mixed with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to coat CNTs onto vitrimer granules, followed by hot-press molding. During the molding process, the transesterifications of boronic esters enable cross-linked granules to adhere together through molecular bonding, and the high viscosity of granules forces CNTs to selectively localize at their boundary region. As a result, coherently segregated composites with an ultralow percolation threshold, good flexibility, and healing capability are obtained. With this example, we envisage that this work provides a conceptual method to create segregated structures in cross-linked polymers.

Successful discrimination of complex biological samples by sensor array remains a challenging problem. Herein, a three-unit fluorescence sensor array was fabricated using fluorescent molecules, which interact with proteins and generate rich response signals, to realize the discrimination of urinary proteins. As a proof of concept, six urinary proteins were selected as analytes. Results showed 100% accuracy in differentiation and quantitative discrimination of every single protein and their complex mixtures. Moreover, protein profiles of urine samples from healthy people and patients with different urinary diseases, including tubular injury (TI), diabetic nephropathy (DN), and nephropathy (Nep), were well distinguished.

Currently adopted cross-linking methods in rubber industry are suffering from variable persistent issues, including the utilization of toxic curing packages, release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and difficulties in the recycling of end-of-life materials. It is of great importance to explore a green cross-linking strategy in the area. Herein, we report a new “green” strategy based on hydrolyzable ester cross-links for cross-linking diene-typed elastomers. As a proof of concept, a commercial carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) is efficiently cross-linked by a bio-based agent, epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), without any toxic additives. ESO exhibits an excellent plasticization effect and excellent scorch safety for XNBR. The cross-linking density and mechanical properties of the ESO-cured XNBR can be manipulated in a wide range by changing simply varying the content of ESO. In addition, zinc oxide (ZnO) performs as a catalyst to accelerate the epoxide opening reaction and improve the cross-linking efficiency, serving as reinforcement points to enhance the overall mechanical properties of the ESO-cured XNBR. Furthermore, the end-of-life elastomer materials demonstrate a closed-loop recovery by selectively cleaving the ester bonds, resulting in very high recovery of the mechanical performance of the recycled composites. This strategy provides an unprecedented green avenue to cross-link diene elastomers and a cost-effective approach to further recycle the obtained cross-linked elastomers at high efficiency.

(1-xwt)Bi0.0025Nb0.0025Ti0.995O2-xwtBi2Ti4O11 composite ceramics with high permittivity were fabricated by a conventional sintering method. The sintering temperature was decreased from 1300 °C to 1130 °C, and the grain size was reduced from ~2.6 μm to ~1.5 μm by the addition of Bi2Ti4O11 phase. When xwt = 0.2, the breakdown strength was increased from 1 kV/cm to 13 kV/cm while preserving high permittivity (ϵ' ~ 1100). Microstructure, I–V behavior, and Impedance spectroscopy studies demonstrated that the enhanced breakdown strength and excellent dielectric properties were attributed to the small grain size and the highly resistant grain boundaries. These advantages, together with its excellent DC bias stability of dielectric constant (0–1050 V/cm), give the composites a great potential in rutile TiO2-based high voltage MLCC applications.

Low dielectric loss (tanδ 104) (La0.5Nb0.5)0.005Ti0.995O2 ceramics. The effects of annealing on two important dielectric relaxations, electron-pinned defect-dipole (EPDD), and Maxwell–Wagner polarization were explored. An enhancement of activation energy (Ea) value and a large distribution of relaxation time τ were detected in EPDD relaxation for the ceramics annealed at 1123 K. The EPDD polarization was destroyed, accompanied by the disappearance of CP in the high annealing temperature range (> 1273 K). Impedance spectroscopy analysis suggested that grain boundary impedance could greatly enhanced as the ceramics were annealed at 1123 K. Strong electrode-material-dependent dielectric properties were detected, and a high tanδ was observed after the insulating surface layer was removed. The CP and low tanδ were ascribed to the maintenance of EPDD polarization, the enhancement of grain boundaries resistance, and the formation of an insulating surface layer through appropriate annealing.

Vitrimers are a class of covalently crosslinked networks that act as a traditional thermoset at low temperatures while they can flow and act as a viscoelastic liquid at high temperatures through bond exchange reactions. The state-of-the-art approach to tune the mechanical and dynamic properties of vitrimers is to explore new exchangeable chemistries and alter catalyst systems and stoichiometric ratios of the starting materials. Herein, we initiate an alternative approach toward this goal. In particular, aldehyde group-terminated polybutadiene rubber (APB) with different molecular weights were prepared and subsequently crosslinked by tris(2-aminoethyl)amine through the formation of imine bond linkages. The modulus and ultimate strength of the imine bond crosslinked networks are consistently enhanced with the decrease of the molecular weight of APB precursors. In addition, APB with a higher molecular weight, i.e. a lower crosslinking degree, leads to a faster relaxation rate and a higher activation energy for network rearrangement. We envision that this work provides a methodology to tune the mechanical and dynamic properties of vitrimer materials by altering the precursor molecular weight and network crosslinking degree.

It is still a challenge to integrate multiple dynamic covalent bonds (DCBs) into one network, so the effects of DCB multiplicity on the performance of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) are still unclear. In this contribution, based on the versatility of vanillin chemistry, we realized the construction of CANs containing different DCB multiplicities, and thus the influences of DCB multiplicity on the vitrimeric performance of the networks are fairly investigated. It turns out that, with increasing DCB multiplicity, the relaxation time of the networks can be reduced significantly because the dynamic performance of the CANs with double or triple DCBs is determined by not only the activation energy but the synergistic effect of different DCBs. A plausible method was first proposed to quantify the synergistic effect of DCB multiplicity. We envisage that the disclosed findings will provide significant insight into the optimized design of CANs with tunable dynamic performance.

Crosslinking of diene rubbers by the traditional sulfur-based curing package inevitably utilizes toxic activators and accelerants, which causes potential dangers and environmental pollution. Herein, we report on the rapid synthesis of sulfur co-polymers by inverse vulcanization of S8 and styrene through a nucleophilic activation mechanism and demonstrate that the inverse vulcanised co-polymer is highly efficient in crosslinking diene rubbers in a green manner. Compared with the traditional sulfur-cured counterpart, the sulfur co-polymer-cured sample with an identical crosslinking density exhibits a remarkably larger breaking strain and a higher elasticity.

It remains challenging to simultaneously realize mechanical robustness, malleability, and functionality in elastomers via facile yet efficient methods. Herein, a simple strategy for the biomimetic heterogeneous design is proposed to achieve mechanically strong, malleable, and functionalized elastomers. We demonstrate the strategy by straightforward mechanical mixing of a highly cross-linked vitrimeric elastomer with a homogeneous gum and subsequent curing, resulting in heterogeneous vitrimeric elastomers (hetero-VEs). The hetero-VEs comprise two phases: a hard phase with dense cross-links and a soft matrix with few cross-links, with excellent interface between the two phases. The hard phases can be deformed upon loading, dissipating energy, which significantly improves the overall mechanical performance of the hetero-VEs. When conductive fillers are incorporated into the soft matrix, due to the volume exclusion effect of the hard phases, the resultant hetero-VEs exhibit high conductivity with a small fraction of fillers. In view of the facile and generic preparation process, this strategy should be a promising way to reinforce and functionalize many vitrimeric elastomer systems.

The fascinating properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) make them highly promising in fabricating polymer composites. Yet, the property enhancements of polymer/CNTs composites remain far behind the theoretical predictions. A critical issue to resolve this dilemma is to align CNTs in polymer matrices. Thus far, the state of art approaches to create CNT alignment either require complicated preparation processes and specific apparatuses, or is limited to thermoplastic polymers. Here, inspired by the network rearrangement ability of vitrimer in the solid state, we bring forth a facile methodology to align CNT in covalently cross-linked polymers by uniaxially stretching dynamic. Specifically, dynamic boronic ester bond-cross-linked epoxidized natural rubber/CNTs vitrimer composites with randomly dispersed CNTs are prepared, which are able to rearrange the network topologies and release stress at elevated temperatures through boronic ester transesterifications. The alignment of CNTs is performed by the uniaxial stretching of the composites and subsequent cross-link reshuffling at elevated temperatures, which results in anisotropic composites with remarkably enhanced mechanical properties and reduced electrical conductivity along the stretching direction. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the composites can be readily adjusted by changing the applied strain, relaxation time and temperature due to the modulated CNT alignment degree. With this example, we envisage that this work offers a conceptual and facile approach to align anisotropic fillers in covalently cross-linked polymers.
