As a common precursor for supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2 ) deposition techniques, solubility data of organometallic complexes in scCO 2 is crucial for the preparation of nanocomposites. Recently, metal acetylacetonates have shown great potential for the preparation of single-atom catalytic materials. In this study, the solubilities of iron(III) acetylacetonate (Fe(acac) 3 ) and nickel(II) acetylacetonate (Ni(acac) 2 ) were measured at the temperature from 313.15 to 333.15 K and in the pressure range of 9.5–25.2 MPa to accumulate new solubility data. Solubility was measured using a static weight loss method. The semi-empirical models proposed by Chrastil and Sung et al . were used to correlate the solubility data of Fe(acac) 3 and Ni(acac) 2 . The equations obtained can be used to predict the solubility of the same system in the experimental range.

Due to its dual gas- and liquid-like properties, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is considered an excellent solvent for dissolving precursors and penetrating nanoscale pores. After subsequent calcination, uniformly dispersed metal or metal oxide nanoparticles or nanowires can be obtained. Organometallic salts are commonly used precursors in this method because they usually have high solubility in scCO2. Therefore, solubility data are essential for the controllable synthesis of such nanocomposites. This work establishes a facile and accessible method for measuring the solubility of organic solids in scCO2. The solubilities of copper acetylacetonate and cobalt acetylacetonate were obtained at temperatures of 313–333 K and pressures of 11–24 MPa. And the solubilities were within 2.3 × 10−2 to 14.1 × 10−2 g/L for Cu(acac)2 and 6.9 × 10−2 to 13.4 × 10−2 g/L for Co(acac)2. The experimental data were fitted to the semi-empirical model with the AARD values of 4.58% and 2.14% for Cu(acac)2 and Co(acac)2, respectively, and the obtained equations could be used to predict solubility of the same systems in the experimental range.

Abstract Methyl pyruvate (MPA) was synthesized from dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the oxidation product of glycerol, over Sn-β and TS-1 hybrid molecular sieves at low temperature. Sn-β and TS-1 provide the active sites for conversion of DHA to methyl lactate (MLA) and oxidation of MLA to MPA, respectively. Synergism of Lewis acid sites on Sn-β and TS-1 realize the production of MPA from DHA. After optimization, 71% yield of MPA can be obtained under 50 °C. This is the first report for the synthesis of MPA from DHA directly. Graphic Abstract

Lactate has been increasingly recognized for its role in diseases progression, necessitating a deeper understanding of its metabolic processes and regulatory mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on lactate accumulation in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) and to elucidate the underlying regulatory mechanisms. Further optimization of LPS treatment points was achieved by assessing the content of key glycolytic enzymes-hexokinases (HK), pyruvate kinase (PK) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH)-as well as the expression levels of HK2, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase4 (PDK4) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDHA). Our results indicate that LPS can promote intracellular glycolysis and inhibits pyruvate synthesis, thereby increasing lactate content. BMECs were cultured and divided into a control group (CON) and an LPS-stimulated group (10 μg/mL for 6 h, LPS group). LPS was found to upregulate expression levels of HIF-1α and MCT1, suggesting a role for HIF-1α and MCT1 in cellular glucose metabolism. To explore the effect of HIF-1α on lactate accumulation, BMECs were stimulated with a HIF-1α inducer (COCL 2 ) and HIF-1α inhibitor (DMBPA). COCL 2 was observed to promote lactate accumulation, while DMBPA inhibited it. Additionally, modulation of HIF-1α expression influenced the expression of MCT1, which is a crucial transporter for extracellular lactate influx. To investigate the specific impact of MCT1 on intracellular lactate, we utilized overexpression plasmids and small interfering RNA to modulate MCT1 expression. The findings indicate that while MCT1 expression alone does not affect intracellular lactate levels, it does modulate the changes induced by LPS. In conclusion, our study suggests that LPS regulates lactate accumulation in BMECs through the HIF-1α/MCT1 pathway, providing insights into the metabolic dysregulation associated with LPS-induced stress in dairy cattle.

The development of a rapid, highly sensitive, and dependable acetone sensor holds significant importance for human health and safety. To enhance the acetone sensing performance of LaFeO3nanoparticles for practical applications, commercial n-type WO3nanoparticles were incorporated as additives. They were directly mixed with LaFeO3nanoparticles produced through a sol-gel method, creating a series of WO3-LFO nanocomposites with varying mass ratios. These nanocomposites were characterized using XRD, SEM, BET, and XPS techniques. Compared to pure LFO nanoparticles, the prepared nanocomposites exhibited larger specific surface areas with enhanced surface reactivity. The introduction of p-n heterojunctions through the mixing process improved the regulation of acetone molecules on internal carrier conduction within nanocomposites. As a result, the nanocomposites demonstrated superior acetone sensing performance in terms of optimal operating temperature, vapor response value, selectivity, and response/recovery speed. Notably, the nanocomposites with a 5wt% addition of WO3showed the lowest optimal operating temperature (132 °C), the fastest response/recovery speed (28/9 s), and the highest selectivity against ethanol, methanol, and EG. On the other hand, the nanocomposites with a 10wt% addition of WO3displayed the maximum vapor response value (55.1 to 100 ppm) at an optimal operating temperature of 138 °C, along with relatively good repeatability, stability, and selectivity.Keywords:LaFeO3;WO3;nanocomposites;acetone;XPS

Background M2 type Pyruvate kinase (PKM2) is the key rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis, and it mainly exists as a dimer in tumor cells.This study aims to establish an enzyme kinetic assay for serum tumor M2 pyruvate kinase (TuM2-PK), and to evaluate its diagnosticvalue in breast cancer. Methods The catalytic kinetics of Pyruvate Kinase (PK) was examined. Its allosteric regulation property and Michaelis constant werethen measured. Next, the levels of TuM2-PK in serum were detected and compared with results from an enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay (ELISA). Finally, the levels of TuM2-PK among breast cancer patients, post-mastectomy patients, patients with benignbreast diseases, and healthy controls were compared. Results A PK kinetic assay was established in this study. The assay reaction time is 108 seconds, and the optimum pH level is 8.0.In the presence of the allosteric activator fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate (FBP), the Km of PK for phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is0.15 mmol/L and the Vmax is 330 μmol/min. The levels of TuM2-PK in serum obtained by enzyme kinetics are comparable to theELISA results. Both assays showed that TuM2-PK in breast cancer patients was increased from stage I to IV. Importantly, TuM2-PKlevels were significantly different between early and late-stage breast cancer patients (stage I and stage II vs. stage IIIand IV), as well as between late-stage and non-malignant patients (p<0.05). No statistical difference was found between benign breast disease patients and healthy controls. Conclusions An enzyme kinetic assay of serum TuM2-PK was successfully established and may be useful for breast cancer diagnosis.

Although individual γ-Fe2O3and α-Fe2O3have been widely fabricated for gas sensors, their mixed phase of α/γ-Fe2O3might deliver excellent sensing properties. In this study, a facile solvothermal method was used to fabricate Fe-alkoxide. After thermal treatment, it was converted into γ-Fe2O3, α-Fe2O3and their mixed-phase α/γ-Fe2O3with a nanosheets-assembled flower-like structure. We studied the influence of calcination temperature on the phase and sensing properties on acetone detection. The α/γ-Fe2O3which annealed at 400 °C included 18% α-Fe2O3and it exhibited excellent sensing performance towards acetone compared to that of γ-Fe2O3and α-Fe2O3. It showed a response of 353 to acetone with a concentration of 200 ppm, and a low limit of detection of 0.5 ppm at 160 °C. In addition, the change in responses with acetone concentration from 50 to 200 ppm shows a good linear relationship. Moreover, this material has good reproducibility and selectivity as well as a fast response time of 22 s and recovery time of 14 s to 200 ppm. Therefore, our mixed phase of α/γ-Fe2O3possesses great prospects for acetone detection.Keywords:Fe2O3;phase;gas sensor;acetone;sensing performance

Background Mitochondrial pyruvate import via mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) is a central step in hepatic gluconeogenesis. Berberine inhibits hepatic gluconeogenesis, but the mechanism is incompletely understood. This study aims to investigate whether berberine could reduce excessive hepatic glucose production (HGP) by limiting mitochondrial import of pyruvate through MPC1. Methods High-fat diet (HFD) feeding augmented HGP. The effects of berberine on hepatic fatty acid oxidation, sirtuin3 (SIRT3) induction and mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) function were examined. Findings HFD feeding increased hepatic acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) accumulation with impaired pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity and increased pyruvate carboxylase (PC) induction. Berberine reduced acetyl CoA accumulation by limiting fatty acid oxidation and prevented mitochondrial pyruvate shift from oxidation to gluconeogenesis through carboxylation. Upon pyruvate response, SIRT3 binded to MPC1 and stabilized MPC1 protein via deacetylation modification, facilitating mitochondrial import of pyruvate. Berberine preserved the acetylation of MPC1 by suppression of SIRT3 induction and impaired MPC1 protein stabilization via protein degradation, resultantly limiting mitochondrial pyruvate supply for gluconeogenesis. Interpretation Berberine reduced acetyl CoA contents by limiting fatty acid oxidation and increased MPC1 degradation via preserving acetylation, thereby restraining HGP by blocking mitochondrial import of pyruvate. These findings suggest that limitation of mitochondrial pyruvate import might be a therapeutic strategy to prevent excessive hepatic glucose production.

Catalytic aldol condensation of biomass-derived furfural (FAL) with acetone (AC) into the single-condensation product 4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-one (FAC) is a potential and promising strategy for biomass improvement process and still challenging. Metal oxides exposed different crystal facets can regulate their surface structure and adsorption activation ability, which can provide an opportunity to enhance aldol condensation performance. Here, nanoparticles-CeO 2 (P-CeO 2 ), nanorods-CeO 2 (R-CeO 2 ) and nanocubes-CeO 2 (C-CeO 2 ) with (111), (110) and (100) plane predominant exposure was prepared to explore their catalytic performance for the aldol condensation of FAL with AC to obtain FAC. The serial detailed characterizations, experimental results and density functional theory calculation revealed that R-CeO 2 with a dominant (110) facet possesses appropriate surface adsorption energy, abundant oxygen vacancy (Ov) and excellent acid-base properties, which can effectively boost the adsorption and activation of FAL and AC and reduce the barrier of aldol condensation reaction based on the acid-base catalysis mechanism. The work would reveal the influence of CeO 2 crystal facet on the aldol condensation and provide a broad potential for the rational design of metal oxide catalysts for other acid-base catalytic reactions.

The recycling of plastic waste has attracted increasing attention because of its negative effects on the ecological environment and human health. Photoreforming is emerging as a green and promising approach for upcycling plastic waste into highly valuable chemicals and H2 fuels. Herein, an earth-abundant Ni2P/ZnIn2S4 catalyst prepared by mechanical grinding is reported to selectively photoreform various polyester plastics into high-added-value chemicals coupled with H2 evolution under mild conditions. In particular, polylactic acid (PLA) can be upcycled to pyruvic acid (PA) with high activity (745.9 μmol g−1 h−1) and selectivity (>90%). Moreover, the H2 evolution rate can reach up to 781.3 μmol g−1 h−1 catalyzed by 7.5 wt% Ni2P/ZnIn2S4. This system exhibits excellent photocatalytic performance, benefiting from efficient photogenerated charge carrier separation and transfer between Ni2P and ZnIn2S4. This study provides a viable and promising solution for simultaneously producing high-purity H2 and added-value chemicals from polyester plastic waste, demonstrating its potential for practical recycling applications.

Cells have greatly inspired advancements in chemical processes, including leveraging the idea of cascade catalysis to drive thermodynamically unfavorable reactions and mimicking the compartmentalized architecture to design novel nanostructures. Here, a single-particle cascade catalysis promoted gas sensing platform is inspired to be designed (denoted as CoSnO 3 @mCeO 2 ) by positionally assembling n-type mesoporous CeO 2 catalytic shell on p-type CoSnO 3 gas sensitive core. Uniform CoSn(OH) 6 @mCe(OH) x core–shell particles with tailored mesostructures, tunable large mesopores, and adjustable shell thicknesses are first constructed. After thermal treatment, CoSnO 3 @mCeO 2 particles are obtained, which serve as cascade catalysis enhanced sensitive layer for fabricating gas sensors with independent catalytic and sensing control. As a proof-of-concept, the CoSnO 3 @mCeO 2 gas sensors exhibit nearly three times higher acetone sensitivity ( R g /R a = 26.81–50 ppm) than individual CoSnO 3 sensors with an ultralow limit of detection of 5.22 ppb. The enhanced sensitivity is achieved through a tandem catalytic reforming-oxidation sensing procedure, which begins with the primary catalytic reforming of acetone to acetic acid in the mCeO 2 shell, followed by the secondary sensing reaction of acetic acid in the CoSnO 3 core. The design concept of cascade catalysis promotes gas sensor can serve as a paradigm for developing single-particle functional nanodevices for various applications.

Ionic liquids (ILs) exhibited enhanced extraction performance compared with traditional organic solvents in azeotropic separation processes. In this paper, three kinds of ILs: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium diethylphosphate ([BMIM][DEP]), and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([HMIM][PF6]) were considered as extractants for separate n-heptane and acetone. The effect of temperature (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15 K) on the selectivity and distribution coefficients was then investigated. Liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) experiments demonstrated that three ILs proved the separation efficiency for acetone. The experimental data were then regressed and validated using the Othmer–Tobias equation and the Hand equation. In addition, the NRTL (nonrandom two liquids) model was used to correlate the LLE experimental data, and the NRTL parameters are verified through the “GMcal_TieLinesLL” tool. Finally, molecular interaction mechanisms were further elucidated through surface electrostatic potential mapping (ESP) and an independent gradient model based on Hirshfeld partition analysis (IGMH) analysis. This research establishes a theoretical framework for industrial-scale separation of ketone/alkane mixtures while providing valuable insights into structure–property relationships of ILs in separation processes.
