Erucic acid (EA) in rapeseed oil has adverse effects on terrestrial animal and fish health. However, its antinutritional role in fish remains unclear due to the limited information on EA. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the impact of EA on growth performance, antioxidative capacity, fatty acid profile, and lipid metabolism in tilapia. Six diets containing different amounts of EA (0, 3, 6, 12, 20, and 27 g/kg diet) were fed to tilapia (initial weight: 3.01 ± 0.01 g) for 8 weeks. The results exhibited that dietary EA did not affect growth performance but remarkedly increased the crude lipid contents (in the whole body, liver, and muscle). It also markedly increased the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, nonesterified fatty acids, and triglyceride in the liver and serum in a dose-dependent manner. The EA groups had lower values of total superoxide dismutase, total antioxidant capacity, catalase, and higher activities of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, as dietary EA levels increased. Feeding fish with diets containing EA (20 and 27 g/kg diet) significantly increased the malondialdehyde content. Moreover, dietary EA greatly altered the fatty acid profile in the liver and muscle. It especially elevated the percentages of C18 : 2n-6, C20 : 1n-9, and C22 : 1n-9 while decreasing the C18 : 0 and C16 : 0 levels. When the levels of EA in diets were 12, 20, and 27 g/kg, genes correlated with lipophagy, lipolysis, and β -oxidation were significantly reduced. Meanwhile, genes concerned in triglyceride synthesis were largely increased in the liver and muscle. In summary, high-dose EA (20 g/kg diet) in the diets significantly induced fat accumulation, hepatic oxidative damage, and abnormal lipid metabolism in tilapia. The current findings expand our understanding on the antinutritional role of EA in lipid homeostasis and fish health.

Rapeseed oil has a similar oleic acid/linoleic acid ratio to human milk fat (HMF). However, it can hardly be used for human milk fat substitute (HMFS) synthesis due to high erucic acid content. In this study, Candida cylindracea lipase (CCL) was found to strongly discriminate against erucic acid. Free fatty acids containing low erucic acid and high oleic acid and linoleic acid were prepared from rapeseed oil hydrolysis catalyzed by CCL. The erucic acid content was only 1.58% (initial 8.70%), when the degree of hydrolysis reached 79.58%. The free fatty acids were used as acyl-donors in the acidolysis catalyzed by Novozym 40086. Considering acyl incorporation and migration, the optimum conditions were 1:8 (tripalmitin to acyl-donors), 40 °C and 2 h. The erucic acid content dropped to 0.97% in the HMFS. According to the Q-TOF-MS analysis, the HMFS was rich in 1,3-dioleoyl-2-palmitoyl-glycerol (18.20%) and 1-oleoyl-2-palmitoyl-3-linoleoyl-glycerol (17.96%), which was similar to HMF.

For the more efficient detoxification of phenolic compounds, a promising avenue would be to develop a multi-enzyme biocatalyst comprising peroxidase, laccase and other oxidases. However, the development of this multi-enzyme biocatalyst is limited by the vulnerability of fungal laccases and peroxidases to hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 )-induced inactivation. Therefore, H 2 O 2 -resistant peroxidase and laccase should be exploited. In this study, H 2 O 2 -stable CotA and YjqC were isolated from the outer coat of Bacillus altitudinis SYBC hb4 spores. In addition to the thermal and alkali stability of catalytic activity, CotA also exhibited a much higher H 2 O 2 tolerance than fungal laccases from Trametes versicolor and Trametes trogii . YjqC is a sporulation-related manganese (Mn) catalase with striking peroxidase activity for sinapic acid (SA) and sinapine (SNP). In contrast to the typical heme-containing peroxidases, the peroxidase activity of YjqC was also highly resistant to inhibition by H 2 O 2 and heat. CotA could also catalyze the oxidation of SA and SNP. CotA had a much higher affinity for SA than B . subtilis CotA. CotA and YjqC rendered from B . altitudinis spores had promising laccase and peroxidase activities for SA and SNP. Specifically, the B . altitudinis spores could be regarded as a multi-enzyme biocatalyst composed of CotA and YjqC. The B . altitudinis spores were efficient for catalyzing the degradation of SA and SNP in rapeseed meal. Moreover, efficiency of the spore-catalyzed degradation of SA and SNP was greatly improved by the presence of 15 mM H 2 O 2 . This effect was largely attributed to synergistic biocatalysis of the H 2 O 2 -resistant CotA and YjqC toward SA and SNP.

Dietary nutritional support for special populations is an effective and feasible method to improve quality of life of patients and reduce medical pressure. The effects of ATSO on chemotherapy population were evaluated by a zebrafish model of demyelination. The results showed that 100 μg/mL ATSO reversed tail morphology damage, axon degeneration, touch response delay, ROS level upregulation and the expression of myelin basic protein decrease in chemotherapy-induced zebrafish. In addition, the expression of myelin markers (including sox10, krox20, pmp22) in oxaliplatin-induced cells was markedly reversed by ATSO and its active components (gondoic acid, erucic acid, nervonic acid). ATSO and its active components could reverse demyelination by ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction. Conversely, linoleic acid and linolenic acid promoted demyelination by exacerbating mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, the Pink1/Parkin pathway was recognized as the main reason for ATSO and its active components to improve mitochondrial function by activating mitophagy and restoring autophagic flow. Taken together, this study demonstrated that ATSO and its active components could be further developed as novel functional food ingredients to antagonize demyelination.

Functional foods are prospective in improving memory decline caused by Alzheimer’s disease and aging. The Edible seaweed Hizikia fusiforme functional oil (HFFO) inhibited acetylcholinesterase, prevented cellular neuroinflammation, and improved memory deficits in zebrafish models in the previous studies. To realize its greener preparation and lipid oxidation mitigation and study its effects on higher animals, more investigations are necessary. Herein, sub-critical fluid extraction of HFFO and successive complex coacervation embedding yielded a water-soluble and anti-oxidative microcapsule HFFOM, which displayed in vivo memory-improving effects on LPS-injured zebrafish and normal rodents in different behavior tests. HFFOM can elevate the level of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine while decreasing the levels of MDA, IL-1β, and TNF-α in the zebrafish brain. LC-MS/MS and lipidomic analysis suggested its predominant memory-improving ingredients to be linolenic, erucic, nervonic, arachidonic, linoleic, eicosatrienoic, docosahexaenoic, and docosapentaenoic acids. This study enlightens the potential of HFFOM in developing memory-enhancing functional foods or drugs.

The potential use of large-size ZnSe quantum dots as blue emitters for display applications has greatly inspired the colloidal synthesis. Herein, we report the negative effects of side reactions of large-size ZnSe quantum dots. The side reactions between oleic acid and oleylamine generated amidation products and H 2 O, which led to the hydrolysis of Zn(OA) 2 to Zn(OH) 2 and the subsequent formation of zinc oxide (ZnO) and zinc bis[diphenylphosphinate] (Zn(DPPA) 2 ) precipitates. These side reactions resulted in the formation of a defective surface including a Se-rich surface and oxygen-related defects. Such negative effects can be overcome by adopting an etching strategy using potassium fluoride and myristic acid in combination. By overcoating a ZnS shell, blue emissive ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots with a maximum photoluminescence quantum yield of up to 91% were obtained. We further fabricated ZnSe quantum dots-based blue light-emitting diodes with an emission peak at 456 nm. The device showed a turn-on voltage of 2.7 V with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 4.2% and a maximum luminance of 1223 cd·m −2 .

The limited effectiveness of emulsifiers with suboptimal emulsification capabilities and low reactivity constrains their use in creating porous polymers through the high internal phase emulsion templating method. In this research, we synthesized a piperazinyl-based emulsifier (EA/AEP) featuring acylamino, secondary, and tertiary amines as its hydrophilic components, through a straightforward amidation process. This emulsifier was subsequently employed to stabilize HIPEs and to fabricated porous polymers. In comparison to Span 80, the use of EA/AEP enabled the formation of HIPEs with superior viscosity and stability at the internal phase volume fractions with between 75% and 95% by incorporating 25% EA/AEP. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed the polymers’ well-defined structures and an interconnected network of pore throats. The improved mechanical properties and oil absorbency of the polymers confirmed their structural robustness. Our approach to developing EA/AEP offers valuable insights for designing innovative emulsifiers, while the inclusion of reactive groups in its structure opens up avenues for further chemical modifications.

Lactic acid fermentation is an effective method for improving the quality of black chokeberry. This study aimed to investigate the influence of lactic acid bacteria on the phenolic profile, antioxidant activities, and volatiles of black chokeberry juice. Initially, 10 7 cfu/mL of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum , Lactobacillus acidophilus , and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus were inoculated into pasteurized black chokeberry juice and fermented for 48 h at 37°C. All these strains enhanced the total phenolic and total flavonoid contents, with La. acidophilus showing the highest total phenolic (1683.64 mg/L) and total flavonoid (659.27 mg/L) contents. Phenolic acids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins were identified using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The prevalent phenolic acid, flavonoid, and anthocyanin in the lactic-acid-fermented black chokeberry juice were cinnamic acid, rutin, and cyanidin-3- O -rutinoside, respectively. Furthermore, following fermentation, the DPPH and ABTS scavenging capacity, as well as the reducing power capacity, increased from 59.98% to 92.70%, 83.06% to 94.95%, and 1.24 to 1.82, respectively. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed that the transformation of phenolic acids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins probably contributed to enhancing antioxidant activities and color conversation in black chokeberry juice. A total of 40 volatiles were detected in the fermented black chokeberry juice by gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry. The off-flavor odors, such as 1-penten-3-one and propanal in the black chokeberry juice, were weakened after fermentation. The content of 2-pentanone significantly increased in all fermented juice, imparting an ethereal flavor. Hence, lactic acid fermentation can effectively enhance black chokeberry products' flavor and prebiotic value, offering valuable insights into their production. Practical Application The application of lactic acid bacteria in black chokeberry juice not only enhances its flavor but also improves its health benefits. This study has expanded the range of black chokeberry products and offers a new perspective for the development of the black chokeberry industry.

Companion diagnostics using biomarkers have gained prominence in guiding radiotherapy. However, biopsy-based techniques fail to account for real-time variations in target response and tumor heterogeneity. Herein, we design an activated afterglow/MRI probe as a companion diagnostics tool for dynamically assessing biomarker apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1(APE1) during radiotherapy in vivo. We employ ultrabright afterglow nanoparticles and ultrasmall FeMnO x nanoparticles as dual contrast agents, significantly broadening signal change range and enhancing the sensitivity of APE1 imaging (limit of detection: 0.0092 U/mL in afterglow imaging and 0.16 U/mL in MRI). We devise longitudinally and transversely subtraction-enhanced imaging (L&T-SEI) strategy to markedly enhance MRI contrast and signal-to-noise ratio between tumor and normal tissue of living female mice. The combined afterglow and MRI facilitate both anatomical and functional imaging of APE1 activity. This probe enables correlation of afterglow and MRI signals with APE1 expression, radiation dosage, intratumor ROS, and DNA damage, enabling early prediction of radiotherapy outcomes (as early as 3 h), significantly preceding tumor size reduction (6 days). By monitoring APE1 levels, this probe allows for early and sensitive detection of liver organ injury, outperforming histopathological analysis. Furthermore, MRI evaluates APE1 expression in radiation-induced abscopal effects provides insights into underlying mechanisms, and supports the development of treatment protocols.

Highly sensitive iron oxide nanoparticles with stable, safe and efficient surface functionalization, as potential substitutes for gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) with increasing biosafety concerns, exhibit great potential for high-performance magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Herein, we developed ultrasmall catechol-PEG-anchored ferrite nanoparticles (PEG-UMFNPs) for highly sensitive MRA. The obtained nanoprobe has a high T1 relaxivity value (7.2 mM−1 s−1) due to its ultrasmall size and Mn doping. It has a suitable hydrodynamic size of 20 nm, which prevents rapid vascular extravasation and renal clearance and prolongs its blood circulation time. In vivo MRA at 3.0 T using the nanoprobe shows that the arteries and veins of rats, even blood vessels as small as 0.32 mm, are distinctly visible, and the contrast enhancement can last for at least 1 h. In addition, due to the outstanding contrast enhancement and long circulation time, the stenosis and recanalization process of the rat’s carotid artery can be continuously monitored with a single injection of the nanoprobe. Our study indicates that PEG-UMFNPs are outstanding MR imaging nanoprobes that can be used to diagnose vascular diseases without the biosafety issues of GBCAs.

Accurate
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of microvascular
occlusive
diseases, exemplified by subsegmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE), remains
a clinical challenge because of the intrinsic limitations of clinically
available Gd-based small molecular contrast agents (CAs). Ultrasmall
iron oxide nanoparticles (USIOs)-based CAs have emerged as promising
alternatives, offering adjustable MRI T 1 relaxivity, favorable pharmacokinetics, and high biocompatibility;
however, their performance is critically hampered by inefficient atomic
utilization for MR T 1 relaxivity enhancement.
Herein, we report Mg-doped USIOs MRI CAs with high atomic utilization
efficiency, where incorporating a biocompatible Mg dopant into surface
octahedral-site Fe vacancies substantially boosts the T 1 relaxivity, enabling accurate detection of SSPE-associated
structural and perfusion abnormalities. The Mg 0.03 -USIOs
exhibit a 261-fold enhancement of T 1 relaxivity
contribution by the Mg dopant, achieving an exceptionally high T 1 relaxivity of 12.6 mM −1 s −1 . Such a high atomic utilization efficiency could
stem from the promoted spin polarization and ferromagnetic spin alignment
through the surface Mg doping, which considerably boosts the magnetic
moment and outer-sphere relaxation contribution. Further in vivo MRI studies in a pig SSPE model demonstrated that the
Mg 0.03 -USIOs enabled visualization of structural and perfusion
abnormalities in SSPE, far surpassing the capabilities of Gd-based
CAs. In vivo biosafety assessment in the pig model
confirmed the high biocompatibility of Mg 0.03 -USIOs. Our
findings provide a highly efficient doping strategy to construct high-performance
USIOs-based T 1 CAs for sensitive MRI of
microvascular structural and functional abnormalities.

Ferrite nanoparticles, known for their enzyme-like catalytic activity, have gained significant attention as innovative nanozymes for various catalysis medicine applications. However, the relationship between catalytic activity and ultrasmall ferrite nanoparticle composition remains unclear, which hinders the development of ferrite-based nanozymes with high catalytic performance. Here, we have synthesized a series of ultrasmall ferrite nanozymes for studying the composition dependent peroxidase (POD)-like activity. Initially, the size and surface charge were regulated to assess their impact on POD-like activity. The results indicate that smaller ferrite nanozymes with a negative charge exhibited superior activity when using TMB as the substrate. Subsequently, we examined the ultrasmall ferrite nanozymes with the same size and surface charge but different compositions (CoFe2O4, MnFe2O4, and γ-Fe2O3), and comprehensively investigated the effect of composition on POD-like activity. The results show that the POD-like activity is closely related to the composition of the ultrasmall ferrite nanozymes and the activity order towards TMB is found to be CoFe2O4 > MnFe2O4 > γ-Fe2O3. By comparing the catalytic performance of nanoparticles with different compositions, the influence of composition on their activity are elucidated. Furthermore, we determined that the optimal pH and temperature for the POD-like catalytic activity of ultrasmall CoFe2O4 nanozyme were pH=4-4.5 and 30 oC. Under these optimal catalytic conditions, the ultrasmall CoFe2O4 nanozymes exhibited a higher POD-like activity, resulting in increased tumor cell staining intensity. This suggests that ultrasmall CoFe2O4 nanozymes may serve as a viable alternative to horseradish peroxidase for immunohistochemical staining applications. This work provides experimental evidence for designing efficient ultrasmall ferrite catalysts for nanozyme catalysis medicine applications.
