    Abstract: DNA barcoding has greatly facilitated studies of taxonomy, biodiversity, biological conservation, and ecology. Here, we establish a reliable DNA barcoding library for Chinese snakes, unveiling hidden diversity with implications for taxonomy, and provide a standardized tool for conservation management. Our comprehensive study includes 1638 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I ( COI ) sequences from Chinese snakes that correspond to 17 families, 65 genera, 228 named species (80.6% of named species) and 36 candidate species. A barcode gap analysis reveals gaps, where all nearest neighbour distances exceed maximum intraspecific distances, in 217 named species and all candidate species. Three species‐delimitation methods (ABGD, sGMYC, and sPTP) recover 320 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), of which 192 OTUs correspond to named and candidate species. Twenty‐eight other named species share OTUs, such as Azemiops feae and A. kharini , Gloydius halys , G. shedaoensis , and G. intermedius , and Bungarus multicinctus and B. candidus , representing inconsistencies most probably caused by imperfect taxonomy, recent and rapid speciation, weak taxonomic signal, introgressive hybridization, and/or inadequate phylogenetic signal. In contrast, 43 species and candidate species assign to two or more OTUs due to having large intraspecific distances. If most OTUs detected in this study reflect valid species, including the 36 candidate species, then 30% more species would exist than are currently recognized. Several OTU divergences associate with known biogeographic barriers, such as the Taiwan Strait. In addition to facilitating future studies, this reliable and relatively comprehensive reference database will play an important role in the future monitoring, conservation, and management of Chinese snakes.

    Abstract: Design and development of cost‐effective electrocatalysts with high efficiency and stability for scalable and sustainable hydrogen production through water splitting is still challenging. Herein, with the aid of divinyl functionalized ionic liquids, uniformly distributed Ru nanoparticles (NPs) on nitrogen‐doped carbon frameworks are obtained via an in situ confined polymerization strategy. Attributed to the unique lamellar structure and confinement effect of carbon supports, the optimized homo‐PIL‐Ru/C‐600 (with Ru 10 wt%) catalyst exhibits superior catalytic efficiency for the hydrogen evolution reaction with the overpotential of only 16 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and the corresponding Tafel slope of only 42 mV dec −1 . Moreover, the performance can be well reserved even after 10 000 cycles, demonstrating excellent stability and promising potentials for industrial application. This work not only provides a facile approach for the preparation of highly efficient Ru‐based catalysts, but also guides the synthesis of other highly dispersed metallic NPs for special applications.

    Abstract: Morus alba L. (mulberry) twig is known to have an inhibitory effect on pathogens in traditional Chinese medicine. In the present study, the dermophytic fungus, Trichophyton rubrum , was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of total M. alba twig extract and extracts obtained using solvents with different polarities by the method of 96‐well MTT colorimetry. The main active substance was isolated and identified by tracking its activity. In addition, the inhibitory effects of active extracts and a single active substance were investigated in combination with miconazole nitrate. Our data indicated that ethyl acetate extracts of mulberry twig (TEE) exhibited a desired inhibitory activity on T. rubrum with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.000 mg/mL. With activity tracking, the main substance showing antimicrobial activity was oxyresveratrol (OXY), which was isolated from TEE. Its MIC for inhibiting the growth of T. rubrum was 0.500 mg/mL. The combined use of miconazole nitrate and OXY showed a synergistic inhibitory effect, as shown by a significant decrease in the MIC of both components. Based on the OXY content in TEE, the contribution rate of OXY to the inhibitory effect of TEE on T. rubrum was 80.52%, so it was determined to be the main antimicrobial substance in M. alba twig.

    Hydrogen gas reduces chronic intermittent hypoxia‐induced hypertension by inhibiting sympathetic nerve activity and increasing vasodilator responses via the antioxidation

    Abstract: Molecular hydrogen is reported to be used medically to ameliorate various systemic pathological conditions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of hydrogen (H 2 ) gas on hypertension induced by intermittent hypoxia in rats. The adult rats were exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) 8 hours/day for 5 weeks and/or H 2 gas 2 hours/day. We found that the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) increased significantly in rats exposed to intermittent hypoxia, both of which were markedly attenuated after H treatment. Furthermore, intermittent hypoxia exposure elevated renal sympathetic nerve activity, consistent with plasma norepinephrine. Additionally, H 2 gas significantly improved CIH‐induced abnormal vascular relaxation. Nevertheless, inhalation of H 2 gas alone did not cause such changes. Moreover, H 2 gas‐treated rats exposed to CIH showed a significant reduction in 8‐hydroxy‐2 deoxyguanosine content and increases in superoxide dismutase activity, indicating improved oxidative stress. Taken together, these results indicate that H 2 gas has significant effects on the reduction of BP without any side effects. Mechanistically, inhibition of sympathetic activity and reduction of systemic vascular resistance may participate in this process via the antioxidant activity of H 2 .

    Abstract: Phenoxy acid herbicides are widely used herbicides that play an important role in improving the yield and quality of crops. However, some research has shown that this kind of herbicide is poisonous to human and animals. In this study, a rapid and sensitive method was developed for the detection of seven phenoxy acid herbicides in water samples based on magnetic solid‐phase extraction followed by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. Magnetic amino‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes were prepared by mixing bare magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles with commercial amino‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes in water. Then the amino‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes were used to enrich phenoxy acid herbicides from water samples based on hydrophobic and ionic interactions. The effects of experimental variables on the extraction efficiency have been studied in detail. Under the optimized conditions, the method validation was performed. Good linearities for seven phenoxy acid herbicides were obtained with squared regression coefficients ranging from 0.9971 to 0.9989. The limits of detection ranged from 0.01 to 0.02 μg/L. The method recoveries of seven phenoxy acid herbicides spiked at three concentration levels in a blank sample were from 92.3 to 103.2%, with inter‐ and intraday relative standard deviations less than 12.6%.

    Reaction Mechanism of 3,4‐Dinitrofuroxan Formation from Glyoxime: Dehydrogenation and Cyclization of Oxime

    Abstract: The reaction pathway of the formation of 3,4‐dinitrofuroxan from glyoxime is theoretically investigated under experimental conditions with 25 % nitric acid and dinitrogentetroxide reagents to clarify the mechanism of formation of a furoxan ring by glyoxime. The geometric configurations of minima and transition‐state species are optimized at the (U)B3LYP/6‐311++G** level. The CCSD(T) and CASSCF(10e,8o)/CASSCF(9e,8o) single‐point energy corrections at the same level are performed on top of the optimized geometries. A subsequent dynamic correlation by using NEVPT2/6‐311++G**‐level single‐point energy calculations based on the CASSCF results is also performed to obtain accurate energy values. The formation reaction is analyzed from two processes: glyoxime nitration and 3,4‐dinitroglyoxime (nitration product) oxidative cyclization. Calculation results indicate that the electrophilic substitution of nitronium ions from the protonated HNO 3 and the abstraction of hydrogen ions by HNO 3 molecules are requisites of glyoxime nitration. The formation of a furoxan ring from 3,4‐dinitroglyoxime involves two possible mechanisms: 1) oxydehydrogenation by NO 2 molecules and the subsequent torsion of NO radical groups to form a ring and 2) the alternation of dehydrogenation and cyclization. The intermediates and transition states in both routes exhibit monoradical and diradical characteristics. Singlet and triplet reactions are considered for the diradical species. Results show that the singlet reaction mechanism is more favorable for cyclization than the triplet reaction. The formation of a furoxan ring from oxime is in accordance with the stepwise intermolecular dehydrogenation and intramolecular torsion to the ring.

    Abstract: The medical usage of Doxorubicin (DOX) as a chemotherapeutic agent is restricted owing to its cardiotoxic properties. This study was designed to explore the effect and underlying mechanisms of Citronellal (CT) on DOX‐related cardiotoxicity in rats. Rats were divided into six groups: control, DOX, CT, Lithium chloride (LiCl) (a Na+/H+exchanger‐1 [NHE1] activator), DOX + CT, and DOX + CT + LiCl. To induce cardiotoxicity, a cumulative dose of 15 mg/kg DOX was intraperitoneally injected into rats. CT (150 mg/kg) and LiCl (1 mg/kg) were given daily by oral gavage for 6 weeks. CT improved cardiac functional parameters and attenuated the cardiac pathological changes induced by DOX. Further study indicated that CT administration regulated the levels of oxidative stress and apoptosis‐related factors and in myocardial tissues, reducing cell per‐oxidative damage and apoptosis. Besides this, CT attenuated DOX‐induced NHE1 upregulation, and the preventive effects of CT against DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity were abrogated by the concurrent administration of LiCl. These results demonstrate that CT could ameliorate DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting the NHE1‐mediated oxidative stress, apoptosis in rats.

    Suppressing the P2–O2 Phase Transition of Na 0.67 Mn 0.67 Ni 0.33 O 2 by Magnesium Substitution for Improved Sodium‐Ion Batteries

    Abstract: Room‐temperature sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have shown great promise in grid‐scale energy storage, portable electronics, and electric vehicles because of the abundance of low‐cost sodium. Sodium‐based layered oxides with a P2‐type layered framework have been considered as one of the most promising cathode materials for SIBs. However, they suffer from the undesired P2–O2 phase transition, which leads to rapid capacity decay and limited reversible capacities. Herein, we show that this problem can be significantly mitigated by substituting some of the nickel ions with magnesium to obtain Na 0.67 Mn 0.67 Ni 0.33− x Mg x O 2 (0≤ x ≤0.33). Both the reversible capacity and the capacity retention of the P2‐type cathode material were remarkably improved as the P2–O2 phase transition was thus suppressed during cycling. This strategy might also be applicable to the modulation of the physical and chemical properties of layered oxides and provides new insight into the rational design of high‐capacity and highly stable cathode materials for SIBs.

    Solidifying Cathode–Electrolyte Interface for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

    Abstract: Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries, with their distinct advantages in energy output, cost, and environmental benignancy, have been recognized as one of the most promising candidates for near‐future energy storage markets. However, the energy storage technology based on Li–S systems, even at the single cell level, is far from commercialization. The implementation of the technology is hindered by unstable electrochemistry at the electrode–electrolyte interface, especially the cathode–electrolyte interface. In cases where the cathode builds a solid–liquid interface with the electrolyte, strong interactions between discharge intermediates of S and solvent molecules of the liquid electrolyte lead to continuous loss of active S species from the cathode to the anode through an electrochemical shuttle process, and hampers the cycling performance of the battery. By solidifying the cathode–liquid interface, the polysulfide–solvent interaction is expected to be alleviated and the Li–S electrochemistry improved. In this Progress Report, the strategies to build a solidified cathode–electrolyte interface in liquid, quasi‐solid‐state and all‐solid‐state Li–S systems are summarized, and the fundamentals of charge transfer and chemical evolutions at the interface are discussed. With these discussions, the rational interfacial design of Li–S batteries is elucidated, toward optimal storage performance and operational durability.

    P3/O3 Integrated Layered Oxide as High‐Power and Long‐Life Cathode toward Na‐Ion Batteries

    Abstract: Low‐cost and stable sodium‐layered oxides (such as P2‐ and O3‐phases) are suggested as highly promising cathode materials for Na‐ion batteries (NIBs). Biphasic hybridization, mainly involving P2/O3 and P2/P3 biphases, is typically used to boost their electrochemical performances. Herein, a P3/O3 intergrown layered oxide (Na 2/3 Ni 1/3 Mn 1/3 Ti 1/3 O 2 ) as high‐rate and long‐life cathode for NIBs via tuning the amounts of Ti substitution in Na 2/3 Ni 1/3 Mn 2/3− x Ti x O 2 ( x  = 0, 1/6, 1/3, 2/3) is demonstrated. The X‐ray diffraction (XRD) Rietveld refinement and aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy show the co‐existence of P3 and O3 phases, and density functional theory calculation corroborates the appearance of the anomalous O3 phase at the Ti substitution amount of 1/3. The P3/O3 biphasic cathode delivers an unexpected rate capability (≈88.7% of the initial capacity at a high rate of 5 C) and cycling stability (≈68.7% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 1 C), superior to those of the sing phases P3‐Na 2/3 Ni 1/3 Mn 2/3 O 2 , P3‐Na 2/3 Ni 1/3 Mn 1/2 Ti 1/6 O 2 , and O3‐Na 2/3 Ni 1/3 Ti 2/3 O 2 . The highly reversible structural evolution of the P3/O3 integrated cathode observed by ex situ XRD, ex situ X‐ray absorption spectra, and the rapid Na + diffusion kinetics, underpin the enhancement. These results show the important role of P3/O3 biphasic hybridization in designing and engineering layered oxide cathodes for NIBs.
