Cancer cell multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the most significant barriers to chemotherapy patients' ability to treat malignant tumors.This review first discusses the basic processes of MDR and then details the newest usage of nanomaterials combining multiple therapeutic approaches (e.g. PDT, PTT, gas therapy, gene therapy, and CDT) with MDR chemotherapy. We also analyze the advantages and rationales of these combination systems and why they can reduce MDR cancer cells. Currently, together with various new treatment approaches, MDR-related chemotherapeutic research is gaining momentum in search of better therapeutic results. PDT, for example, has the ability to eliminate high-efficiency multidrug-resistant malignancies but has limited relevance to tumor treatment. In this perspective, SDT is a highly promising approach as it increases ROS production utilizing ultrasonic vibrations, allowing magnitude orders to reach deeper than light. PTT is also often criticized for NIR light's restricted penetration depth; thermomagnetic therapy, using magnetic fields to produce local tissue hyperthermia, can considerably alleviate this problem. However, current research on the possibilities of using these new technologies to fight MDR remains rather rare, and more combination strategies should be carefully investigated in the future. Moreover, ongoing discoveries of cell death pathways, highlighted by recent ferroptosis findings, present a new strategy for our battle against MDR and may revolutionize our knowledge of MDR formation. Ferroptotic cell death promises to treat MDR in various cancers. While most of this cutting-edge research is still in its infancy, we anticipate gaining a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of these revolutionary anti-MDR medicines in the near future.

Abstract Highly efficient preparation of industrially important enzymes depends on development of the genetically stable and high-yield microbial cell factories, which is often a challengeable laboratory hard work. In aims to simplify strain development with high efficiency for enzyme overproduction, a new strategy based on chromosomal integration and amplification in Bacillus sp . was developed. A pair of plasmids, an integrated expression plasmid pUB'-Ex1 and a thermosensitive replicable plasmid pUB-MazF, were constructed. pUB'-Ex1 conditionally self-replicated in Bacillus sp . when the RepF in pUB-MazF expressed. pUB-MazF thermosensitively self-replicated in Bacillus sp . , which was easily cured from the host by inducing MazF expression with IPTG. Bacillus licheniformis BL-UBM that integrated with pUB-MazF was then transformed with pUB'-amyS derived from pUB'-Ex1 by in-frame cloning of amyS encoding a thermophilic α-amylase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 31195. The transformant of B. licheniformis BL-UBM with pUB'-amyS was cultivated at 42 o C with the existence of 1 mmol/l IPTG and 500 μg/ml kanamycin and the recombinants with high α-amylase activities were selected. All tested recombinants were extremely high genetic stability. One of which, recombinant BLiS-002, carried five copies of amyS and produced the highest yield of α-amylase. It could yield 50,753 U/ml of α-amylase in a 50-l bioreactor. The strategy developed in this study is of application potential for convenient and quick strain development for industrially important enzyme overexpression.

In this paper, we propose, design and fabricate a kind of ultrathin and high-efficiency circularly polarization converter based on artificially engineered surfaces in the transmission mode. The converter is composed of double-layer periodic surface structures with cross slots. The top and bottom layers are printed on both sides of the F4B substrate and connected by metallic via holes. The proposed converter can transform the right-handed circularly polarized incident electromagnetic (EM) wave to a left-handed circularly-polarized one with near-unity efficiency in the transmission mode, or vice versa. We explain the conversion mechanism based on numerical simulations and equivalent circuit (EC) theory. The measured result has a good agreement with the simulated one in the working frequency band. Such ultrathin polarization converters can be used in wireless microwave communication, remote sensing, and EM imaging where circularly polarization diversity is needed.

Water oxidation is the primary step in both natural and artificial photosynthesis to convert solar energy in into chemical fuels. Herein, we report the first cobalt-based pincer catalyst for electrolytic water oxidation at neutral pH with high efficiency under electrochemical conditions. Most importantly, ligand (pseudo)aromaticity is identified to play an important role in the electrocatalysis. A significant potential jump (~300 mV) was achieved towards a lower positive value when the aromatized cobalt complex was transformed to a (pseudo)dearomatized cobalt species. This complex catalyzes the water oxidation in its high valent oxidation state at a much lower overpotential (~ 340 mV vs. NHE) based on the onset potential (0.5 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>) of catalysis at pH 10.5, outperforming all the other literature systems. These observations may provide a new strategy for the design of earth-abundant transition metal-based water oxidation catalysts.
