Abstract The elimination of localized cancer pain remains a globally neglected challenge. A potential solution lies in combining gas therapy with targeted interventional ablation therapy. In this study, HA‐As 2 S 3 nanoparticles controlled sizes are synthesized using different molecular weights sodium hyaluronate (HA) as supramolecular scaffold. Initially, HA co‐assembles arsenic ions (As 3+ ) via coordinate bonds, forming scaffold intermediates. These intermediates, varying size, then react sulfur to produce size‐controlled particles. This approach demonstrates that enable precise control over the particle size sulfide, offering straightforward and environmentally friendly method for synthesizing metal sulfide an acidic environment, release hydrogen sulfide(H S) As . released directly damage tumor mitochondria, leading substantial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from mitochondria. Concurrently, H inhibits activity catalase (CAT) complex IV, preventing beneficial decomposition ROS disrupting electron transfer mitochondrial respiratory chain. Consequently, it is found significantly enhances induced by nanodrugs, effectively killing local tumors ultimately eliminating mice.

Abstract Natural plant‐derived polysaccharides exhibit substantial potential for treating ulcerative colitis (UC) owing to their anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties favorable safety profiles. However, practical application faces several challenges, including structural instability in gastric acid, imprecise targeting of inflamed regions, limited intestinal retention times. To address these limitations, pH‐responsive, colon‐targeting microspheres (pWGPAC MSs) are developed delivering phosphorylated wild ginseng (pWGP) alleviate UC. These pWGPAC MSs fabricated by incorporating pWGP into calcium‐crosslinked alginate with subsequent chitosan surface modification enhance mucosal adhesion. demonstrated exceptional stability under acidic conditions while enabling targeted release the colon. In a mouse model UC, effectively mitigated injury, attenuated inflammation, restored barrier function. Further mechanistic investigations revealed that modulated TLR4/MYD88 signaling pathway promoted M2 macrophage polarization. Integrated microbiome metabolome analyses regulated gut microbiota composition decreased pro‐inflammatory metabolite levels. addition, promising Collectively, findings establish as therapeutic strategy treatment UC provide solid foundation future clinical applications.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compromises the intestinal barrier and disrupts gut microbiota, impacting liver function via gut-liver axis, which in turn influences microbiota through lipid metabolites exacerbating IBD. This study introduced a probiotic-based treatment using Lactobacillus acidophilus encapsulated tungsten ion-loaded mesoporous polydopamine (LA@WMPDA) to ameliorate colitis balance enterohepatic homeostasis. After oral administration, encapsulation could protect acidophilus, scavenge reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, released ions would inhibit abnormal Enterobacteriaceae growth during colitis, consequently restoring regulating microbiota. Nontargeted metabolomics transcriptomics analyses showed increased short-chain fatty acids indole derivatives, decreased hepatic metabolism. Pathways associated with immune response, cell migration death, response bacterium significant down-regulation colon transcriptome analysis. Thus, this provided pioneered paradigm for IBD highlighted regulation of liver-related metabolic functions axis.
