Background and aims: Dexamethasone is a common glucocorticoid medication with adverse effects that can cause muscle atrophy， but no drug intervention has been approved or recommended for this condition. KF-8 is a rice bran-derived anti-oxidant peptide that extends the life span of Caenorhabditis elegans. Methods: We established a C. elegans model of dexamethasone-induced myopathy to evaluate the potential therapeutic effects of KF-8 in this model. C. elegans muscle function was assessed in terms of locomotory behaviors including crawling， swimming， burrowing， pharyngeal pumping， and head swing. Muscle actin filament integrity was evaluated using fluorescence imaging. The molecular mechanisms of KF-8 were investigated using transcriptome sequencing， qRT-PCR， RNA interference， and western blot analysis. Results: Dexamethasone disrupted actin filaments in the striated muscles of the body wall and inhibited C. elegans crawling， swimming， burrowing， pharyngeal pumping， and head swing. KF-8 reversed the actin filament disruption and locomotor dysfunction induced by dexamethasone. Transcriptome sequencing， pathway enrichment， and qRT-PCR analyses revealed that KF-8 regulated the locomotion-related genes W04G5.10， vha-12， and ddr-1， as well as age-1 (the catalytic subunit ortholog of PI3K)， and akt1. RNA interference， conducted using a genetically engineered E. coli HT115 strain as a food source， confirmed age-1 as a key regulator of locomotor function of C. elegans. Further mechanistic studies with C2C12 myotubes showed that KF-8 regulated the IRS-PI3K-Akt pathway， the master regulator of protein synthesis and degradation. Conclusion: Together， these findings suggest that KF-8 protects against dexamethasone-induced myopathy in C. elegans by regulating locomotion-related genes and the IRS-PI3K-Akt pathway.

Immune-related nephropathy(IRN)refers to immune-response-mediated glomerulonephritis and is the main cause of end-stage renal failure.The pathogenesis of IRN is not fully understood;therefore,treatment is challenging.Traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs)have potent clinical effects in the treatment of the IRN conditions immunoglobulin A nephropathy,lupus nephropathy,and diabetic nephropathy.The underlying mechanisms mainly include its inhibition of inflammation;improvements to renal interstitial fibrosis,oxidative stress,autophagy,apoptosis;and regulation of immunity.In this review,we summarize the clinical symptoms of the three IRN subtypes and the use of TCM prescriptions,herbs,and bioactive compounds in treating IRN,as well as the potential mechanisms,intending to provide a reference for the future study of TCM as IRN treatments.

Since first synthesized in 2011, MXenes have attracted extensive attention in many scientific fields as a new two-dimensional(2D) material because of the unique physical and chemical properties. Over the past decade, in particular, MXenes have obtained numerous exciting achievements in the field of terahertz applications. In this review, we first briefly introduce the MXene materials, such as the basic structure and main fabrication processes of MXenes. Then, we summarize the recent applications of MXene materials in various terahertz research areas, including terahertz modulation, terahertz absorption, terahertz shielding, terahertz communication, terahertz detection and terahertz generation, in which the representative results are presented. Finally, we give an outlook on the future research directions of MXene materials and their potential applications.

Valine is an essential amino acid and a type of branched-chain amino acid. Due to the involvement of branchedchain amino acids in various metabolic pathways, there has been a surge of interests in valine nutrition and its role in animal physiology. In pigs, the interactions between valine and other branched-chain amino acids or aromatic amino acids are complex. In this review, we delve into the interaction mechanism, metabolic pathways, and biological functions of valine. Appropriate valine supplementation not only enhances growth and reproductive performances, but also modulates gut microbiota and immune functions. Based on past observations and interpretations, we provide recommended feed levels of valine for weaned piglets, growing pigs, gilts, lactating sows, barrows and entire males. The summarized valine nutrient requirements for pigs at different stages offer valuable insights for future research and practical applications in animal husbandry.

The liver is an important metabolic and detoxification organ and hence demands a large amount of energy,which is mainly produced by the mitochondria.Liver tissues of pa-tients with alcohol-related or non-alcohol-related liver diseases contain ultrastructural mito-chondrial lesions,mitochondrial DNA damage,disturbed mitochondrial dynamics,and compromised ATP production.Overproduction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in-duces oxidative damage to mitochondrial proteins and mitochondrial DNA,decreases mito-chondrial membrane potential,triggers hepatocyte inflammation,and promotes programmed cell death,all of which impair liver function.Mitochondrial DNA may be a poten-tial novel non-invasive biomarker of the risk of progression to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients infected with the hepatitis B virus.We herein present a review of the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in the development of acute liver injury and chronic liver diseases,such as hepatocellular carcinoma,viral hepatitis,drug-induced liver injury,alcoholic liver disease,and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.This review also discusses mito-chondrion-centric therapies for treating liver diseases.

Injuries caused by trauma and neurodegenerative diseases can damage the peripheral nervous system and cause functional deficits.Unlike in the central nervous system,damaged axons in peripheral nerves can be induced to regenerate in response to intrinsic cues after reprogramming or in a growth-promoting microenvironment created by Schwann cells.However,axon regeneration and repair do not automatically result in the restoration of function,which is the ultimate therapeutic goal but also a major clinical challenge.Transforming growth factor(TGF)is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates various biological processes including tissue repair,embryo development,and cell growth and differentiation.There is accumulating evidence that TGF-βfamily proteins participate in peripheral nerve repair through various factors and signaling pathways by regulating the growth and transformation of Schwann cells;recruiting specific immune cells;controlling the permeability of the blood-nerve barrier,thereby stimulating axon growth;and inhibiting remyelination of regenerated axons.TGF-βhas been applied to the treatment of peripheral nerve injury in animal models.In this context,we review the functions of TGF-βin peripheral nerve regeneration and potential clinical applications.

Polymer dielectrics capable of operating efficiently at high electric fields and elevated temperatures are urgently demanded by next-generation electronics and electrical power systems.While inorganic fillers have been extensively utilized to improved high-temperature capacitive performance of dielectric polymers,the presence of thermodynamically incompatible organic and inorganic components may lead to concern about the long-term stability and also complicate film processing.Herein,zero-dimensional polymer dots with high electron affinity are introduced into photoactive allyl-containing poly(aryl ether sulfone)to form the all-organic polymer composites for hightemperature capacitive energy storage.Upon ultraviolet irradiation,the crosslinked polymer composites with polymer dots are efficient in suppressing electrical conduction at high electric fields and elevated temperatures,which significantly reduces the high-field energy loss of the composites at 200℃.Accordingly,the ultraviolet-irradiated composite film exhibits a discharged energy density of 4.2 J cm^(−3)at 200℃.Along with outstanding cyclic stability of capacitive performance at 200℃,this work provides a promising class of dielectric materials for robust high-performance all-organic dielectric nanocomposites.
