Synthesis of Cerium Molybdate Hierarchical Architectures and Their Novel Photocatalytic and Adsorption Performances

Cerium molybdate (Ce–Mo) hierarchical architectures (such as the flowerlike, microspheric, and bundlelike structure) are successfully synthesized via a facile route with the assistance of amino acid (lysine, Lys). The influences of reaction parameters on the crystal structure and morphology of Ce–Mo hierarchical architectures are investigated. Samples obtained are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Furthermore, the photocatalytic and adsorption performances of samples obtained are investigated using different dyes, such as Cationic red X-GTL, Congo red, Methylene blue, Acid blue 80, and Methyl orange, as the model. The results show that Ce–Mo hierarchical architectures exhibit remarkably high efficiency to photocatalytically decompose Congo red under visible light irradiation, and significant adsorption performance on Cationic red X-GTL and Methylene blue. Contrarily, neither photocatalytic nor adsorption performance was observed on Methyl orange and Acid blue 80. Therefore, the as-synthesized Ce–Mo hierarchical architectures display promising potential for the removal of organic contaminants for environmental protection

BackgroundDuring aging, chronic inflammation can promote tumor development and metastasis. Patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are at an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the molecular mechanism underlying is still unclear.MethodsWe conducted a large-scale single-cell sequencing analysis comprising 432,314 single cells from 92 CRC and 24 IBD patients. The analysis focused on the heterogeneity and commonality of CRC and IBD with respect to immune cell landscape, cellular communication, aging and inflammatory response, and Meta programs.ResultsThe CRC and IBD had significantly different propensities in terms of cell proportions, differential genes and their functions, and cellular communication. The progression of CRC was mainly associated with epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and monocyte-macrophages, which displayed pronounced metabolic functions. In particular, monocyte-macrophages were enriched for the aging and inflammation-associated NF-κB pathway. And IBD was enriched in immune-related functions with B cells and T cells. Cellular communication analysis in CRC samples displayed an increase in MIF signaling from epithelial cells to T cells, and an increase in the efferent signal of senescence-associated SPP1 signaling from monocyte-macrophages. Notably, we also found some commonalities between CRC and IBD. The efferent and afferent signals showed that the pro-inflammatory cytokine played an important role. And the activity of aging and inflammatory response with AUCell analysis also showed a high degree of commonality. Furthermore, using the Meta programs (MPs) with the NMF algorithm, we found that the CRC non-malignant cells shared a substantial proportion of the MP genes with CRC malignant cells (68% overlap) and IBD epithelial cells (52% overlap), respectively. And it was extensively involved in functions of cell cycle and immune response, revealing its dual properties of inflammation and cancer. In addition, CRC malignant and non-malignant cells were enriched for the senescence-related cell cycle G2M phase transition and the p53 signaling pathway.ConclusionOur study highlights the characteristics of aging, inflammation and tumor in CRC and IBD at the single-cell level, and the dual property of inflammation-cancer in CRC non-malignant cells may provide a more up-to-date understanding of disease transformation.</p
