Aerosol removal using flame-retardant atomized fixatives, as a major means of aerosol control, has achieved remarkable results in the field of nuclear facility decommissioning and decontamination. Traditional atomized fixatives for aerosol removal have deficiencies in high-temperature resistance and flame retardancy, rendering them inadequate for operational scenarios involving high temperatures and flammability encountered during nuclear decommissioning. This paper investigates the current development of flame-retardant atomized fixatives for aerosol removal both domestically and internationally and presents a preliminary exploration of this technology. The experiments showed that atomized fixatives modified with flame-retardant properties not only maintained excellent aerosol capture efficiency, but also exhibited significantly improved flame-retardant performance. This confirmed the technical feasibility of the proposed approach. Finally, suggestions and reflections are proposed for the development of this technology and its application in nuclear facility decommissioning.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is pathologically characterized by cerebral amyloid β‑protein (Aβ) aggregation, neurofibrillary tangles and progressive cognitive deterioration. There is an urgent clinical demand for targeted therapeutic agents against AD, whereas the blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a critical physical barrier that blocks over 98% small-molecule drugs and nearly all biomacromolecules from entering brain parenchyma. Nanomedicine-based drug delivery systems (NDDSs) with tunable physicochemical properties can cross the BBB via multiple transcytosis pathways including adsorptive-mediated, receptor-mediated and transporter-mediated routes, opening a promising avenue for targeted AD treatment. A core academic viewpoint proposed herein is that robust in vitro endothelial penetration of nanocarriers cannot guarantee effective accumulation in brain target cells. Comprehensive evaluation of BBB-crossing delivery efficiency should not merely rely on in vitro permeability tests, but cover the full multi-step transcytosis cascade, cellular tropism in brain tissues and in vivo therapeutic outcomes. This review systematically sorts out diverse nanoplatforms applicable to BBB penetration for AD intervention. Inorganic nanomaterials such as gold and ceria nanoparticles possess large specific surface areas and intrinsic antioxidant capacity, which eliminate reactive oxygen species and hinder Aβ fibrillization. Liposomal formulations and solid lipid nanoparticles exhibit superior biocompatibility with biomimetic phospholipid bilayer architectures, capable of co-loading hydrophilic nucleic acids for Tau regulation and lipophilic Aβ inhibitors; relying on receptor-mediated transcytosis, they achieve sustained drug retention in the brain. Polymeric nanocarriers including nanogels and polyamidoamine dendrimers enable multi-target combinatorial therapy, and can be engineered to release cargo in response to inflammatory microenvironments, thereby suppressing excessive microglial activation and protecting neuronal mitochondria. Beyond conventional nanocarriers, this work elaborates two cutting-edge BBB-crossing delivery platforms: biomimetic nanosystems and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Biomimetic nanoparticles camouflaged with erythrocyte, platelet or macrophage membranes, as well as natural exosomes, evade immune clearance, prolong systemic circulation and inherently home to inflammatory lesions. Serving as “nano-decoys”, they neutralize Aβ neurotoxins and remodel cerebral inflammatory microenvironments simultaneously. MOFs feature high porosity and customizable pore channels for co-delivery of multiple therapeutics, and can be integrated with near-infrared photothermal and photooxidation modalities to facilitate focal brain lesion therapy. This review highlights a transformative paradigm shift in the field of BBB-targeted AD therapy: research focus has shifted from simply maximizing cerebral drug penetration toward active modulation and functional restoration of the BBB. Impaired BBB transporters intrinsically impede endogenous Aβ clearance. Accordingly, BBB-regulating nanocarriers are designed to remodel the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) trafficking cascade, redirecting endocytic vesicles from lysosomal degradation to non-degradable transcytosis and restoring the intrinsic Aβ efflux capacity of the BBB. Distinct from conventional strategies that only exert local lesion inhibition, this systemic clearance strategy eliminates cerebral Aβ deposits by accelerating peripheral excretion.

Glutathione(GSH)is a tripeptide containing sulfhydryl groups,which has the function of antioxidant,detoxifying,and immune enhancing effects,and its expression is closely associated with many diseases such as cancer,etc.Therefore,it is of great significance for clinical diagnosis by developing a highly sensitive,simple,and rapid method for detecting GSH.Herein,two-dimensional(2D)Zn-TCPP(Fe)nanosheets employing Zn2+and Fe-bound tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin ligands were obtained by a surfactant-assisted synthetic method.The 2D Zn-TCPP(Fe)nanosheets exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity,which allowed the catalysis of the H2O2-initiated oxidation of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)to blue oxidized TMB(ox-TMB).In the presence of GSH,GSH underwent a reduction reaction with oxTMB,resulting in the blue color of the solution fading.The proposed colorimetric sensor exhibited favorable sensitivity for GSH in the linear range of 0.1-200 μmol/L with a limit of detection(S/N=3)of 0.042 μmol/L,indicating excellent selectivity.The developed sensor was successfully applied to detect GSH level in the human serum samples with recoveries of 93.0%-107.7%,showing satisfactory results.The developed colorimetric sensor provided a new approach for detecting GSH.

OBJECTIVE:
Humans are exposed to complex mixtures of environmental chemicals and other factors that can affect their health. Analysis of these mixture exposures presents several key challenges for environmental epidemiology and risk assessment, including high dimensionality, correlated exposure, and subtle individual effects.
METHODS:
We proposed a novel statistical approach, the generalized functional linear model (GFLM), to analyze the health effects of exposure mixtures. GFLM treats the effect of mixture exposures as a smooth function by reordering exposures based on specific mechanisms and capturing internal correlations to provide a meaningful estimation and interpretation. The robustness and efficiency was evaluated under various scenarios through extensive simulation studies.
RESULTS:
We applied the GFLM to two datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In the first application, we examined the effects of 37 nutrients on BMI (2011-2016 cycles). The GFLM identified a significant mixture effect, with fiber and fat emerging as the nutrients with the greatest negative and positive effects on BMI, respectively. For the second application, we investigated the association between four pre- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and gout risk (2007-2018 cycles). Unlike traditional methods, the GFLM indicated no significant association, demonstrating its robustness to multicollinearity.
CONCLUSION
GFLM framework is a powerful tool for mixture exposure analysis, offering improved handling of correlated exposures and interpretable results. It demonstrates robust performance across various scenarios and real-world applications, advancing our understanding of complex environmental exposures and their health impacts on environmental epidemiology and toxicology.
