The electrolytic refining of crude tin is generally carried out in the fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) system with the assistance of bone glue and β-naphthol. However, the high saturated vapor pressure and low stability of H2SiF6present environmental concerns and do not align with sustainable development goals. In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of tin on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode was studied in a relatively green and environmentally friendly methanesulfonic acid (MSA) system. Bone glue, sodium lignosulfonate, and β-naphthol were used as additives to make the deposit morphology smooth and to ensure grain refinement. The electrochemical reduction process of Sn2+in an MSA system is a quasi-reversible process controlled by diffusion. The apparent activation energyEa= 14.189 kJ/mol for the ion diffusion of Sn2+was further calculated. The results of chronoamperometry showed that the electrocrystallization of Sn2+on the GC electrode gradually tended to three-dimensional instantaneous nucleation with the increase in applied potential. The morphology and phase of the deposits were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the deposits were uniform and dense pure tin. This work elucidates the electrochemical behavior of tin in a methanesulfonic acid system.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods in the collagen matrix of bone have a macroscopically ordered structure that has many similarities to the ordered structure of anisotropic nano-units in inorganic liquid crystals (LCs). Inspired by these similarities, we conducted the first (to our best knowledge) synthesis of HA LCs in non-polar solvents (such as cyclohexane and toluene), thus expanding the range of applicable monomers and polymers. We synthesized HA nanorods by a simple, effective, and oleic-acid-assisted hydrothermal route. The hydrothermal temperature directly modulates the aspect ratio of the HA nanorods, and indirectly modulates their LC behavior. The LC phase transition has no size limitation. Thus, our approach may be used to develop high solid content, macroscopically assembled, large-scale polymer-based bio(mimetic)-materials.

In this study, a novel peptide grafted chitosan (CACS-FBP) with high peptide content, excellent moisture-absorption and moisture-retention abilities was prepared. Caffeic acid (CA) was used to modify chitosan, the highly water-soluble intermediate further reacted with fish bone collagen peptide to obtain the final product, and the synthesis of CACS-FBP was confirmed by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), NMR, and UV-vis. The single-factor experiments indicated that the degree of substitution (DS) of CACS-FBP depended on the reaction temperature, reaction time, the mass ratio of fish bone collagen peptide to CACS (mFBP/mCACS) and the mass ratio of MTGase to CACS (mMTGase/mCACS). In addition, the antioxidant assay indicated that CACS-FBP had an excellent antioxidant capacity, and the CACS-FBP showed no cytotoxicity toward L929 mouse fibroblasts, all the results mean that the prepared peptide-containing chitosan derivative has potential application in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields.

Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of osteoporosis. In this study, it was observed that donkey bone collagen (DC) at a concentration of 500 μg/mL scavenged 17.89 % of 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals, indicating its antioxidant properties. Additionally, when an oxidative damage osteoblast model was created using H 2 O 2 , 100 μg/mL DC demonstrated the ability to enhance cell survival by 27.31 %. Furthermore, 50 μg/mL DC increased the intracellular differentiation marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level by 62.65 %. Additionally, the study revealed that DC significantly increased the expression of osteoporosis-related factors in serum and effectively restored the abnormal structure of spongy bone in mice osteoporosis model. Peptides (GGWFL, ANLGPA, and GWFK) isolated from DC through gastrointestinal digestion and subsequent enzymatic purification in vitro demonstrated the ability to safeguard osteoblasts from H 2 O 2 -induced damage by reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). This protection resulted in enhanced cell survival and promoted osteoblast differentiation. This investigation underscores that DC can shield oxidative damage osteoblast model from oxidative stress, ameliorate osteoporosis, and enhance bone density in mice osteoporosis model. These findings suggest various DC applications in the food and medicine industries.

In this study, chicken bone gelatin (CBG) was extracted as a new substitute for traditional pig bone gelatin, and bacterial cellulose (BC) was used as the compound to prepare Oregano essential oil (OEO) Pickering emulsion. To explore a protein/polysaccharide emulsion system that can effectively prolong the functional activity of OEO during storage. The results indicated that the variation in CBG and BC content significantly influenced the physicochemical properties of the emulsions. The optimal formulation of OEO Pickering emulsion, prepared with a CBG-BC ratio of 6:2 ( v /v), exhibited superior characteristics including appearance, encapsulation efficiency, and stability during preservation. After 7 d of storage at 4 °C, the rheological properties remained stable, with no significant differences observed in antioxidant and antibacterial activities. It was verified in the beef fresh-keeping experiment that the shelf life of beef samples in the 6-2-2 treatment group was 6 d longer than that in the control group and 3 d longer than that in the pure OEO group. This experiment enhanced the utilization of poultry by-products and provided a valuable reference for exploring suitable protein-polysaccharide systems embedding active substances for food preservation.

Although the S8 family in the MEROPS database contains many peptidases, only a few S8 peptidases have been applied in the preparation of bioactive oligopeptides. Bovine bone collagen is a good source for preparing collagen oligopeptides, but has been so far rarely applied in collagen peptide preparation. Here, we characterized a novel S8 gelatinase, Aa2_1884, from marine bacteriumFlocculibacter collagenilyticusSM1988T, and evaluated its potential application in the preparation of collagen oligopeptides from bovine bone collagen. Aa2_1884 is a multimodular S8 peptidase with a distinct domain architecture from other reported peptidases. The recombinant Aa2_1884 over-expressed inEscherichia colishowed high activity toward gelatin and denatured collagens, but no activity toward natural collagens, indicating that Aa2_1884 is a gelatinase. To evaluate the potential of Aa2_1884 in the preparation of collagen oligopeptides from bovine bone collagen, three enzymatic hydrolysis parameters, hydrolysis temperature, hydrolysis time and enzyme-substrate ratio (E/S), were optimized by single factor experiments, and the optimal hydrolysis conditions were determined to be reaction at 60 ℃ for 3 h with an E/S of 400 U/g. Under these conditions, the hydrolysis efficiency of bovine bone collagen by Aa2_1884 reached 95.3%. The resultant hydrolysate contained 97.8% peptides, in which peptides with a molecular weight lower than 1000 Da and 500 Da accounted for 55.1% and 39.5%, respectively, indicating that the hydrolysate was rich in oligopeptides. These results indicate that Aa2_1884 likely has a promising potential application in the preparation of collagen oligopeptide-rich hydrolysate from bovine bone collagen, which may provide a feasible way for the high-value utilization of bovine bone collagen.Keywords:peptidase;the MEROPS S8 family;bovine bone collagen;oligopeptides;hydrolysate

Bovine bone is rich in collagen and is a good material for collagen peptide preparation. Although thermolysin-like proteases (TLPs) have been applied in different fields, the potential of TLPs in preparing bioactive collagen peptides has rarely been evaluated. Here, we characterized a thermophilic TLP, A69, from a hydrothermal bacteriumAnoxybacillus caldiproteolyticus1A02591, and evaluated its potential in preparing bioactive collagen peptides. A69 showed the highest activity at 60 °C and pH 7.0. We optimized the conditions for bovine bone collagen hydrolysis and set up a process with high hydrolysis efficiency (99.4%) to prepare bovine bone collagen peptides, in which bovine bone collagen was hydrolyzed at 60 °C for 2 h with an enzyme–substrate ratio of 25 U/g. The hydrolysate contained 96.5% peptides that have a broad molecular weight distribution below 10000 Da. The hydrolysate showed good moisture-retention ability and a high hydroxyl radical (•OH) scavenging ratio of 73.2%, suggesting that the prepared collagen peptides have good antioxidative activity. Altogether, these results indicate that the thermophilic TLP A69 has promising potential in the preparation of bioactive collagen peptides, which may have potentials in cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical industries. This study lays a foundation for the high-valued utilization of bovine bone collagen.Keywords:thermolysin-like protease;bovine bone collagen;collagen peptides;collagen peptide preparation;bioactivity

Osteoporosis is a prevalent systemic disease characterized by the change of bone structure and function, significantly affecting the human health. Oral collagen hydrolysates have garnered increasing attention for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis due to their advantages of low molecular weight, easy absorption, and high biological activity; however, they suffer from severe concerns including uncontrollable molecular weights, limited biocompatibility, and unclear correlations between molecular weight and efficacy. Herein, we have for the first time developed a series of yak bone collagen hydrolysates (YBCH) with controllable molecular weight for effective prevention of osteoporosis. The YBCH exhibited low (LYBCH, M < 1000 Da), medium (MYBCH, 1000 < M < 3000 Da), high (HYBCH, 3000 < M < 10000 Da), and ultra-high (UYBCH, M > 10000 Da) molecular weight, respectively. An osteoporosis mouse model was established to evaluate the therapeutic effects of YBCH. Histological analysis indicated that YBCH could ameliorate pathological changes of osteoporosis by increasing bone mass and promoting collagen regeneration, with MYBCH showing the most pronounced effect. Micro-CT results revealed that MYBCH significantly enhanced the microstructure of osteoporotic bone by increasing BMD, BV/TV, Tb.N, and Tb.Th, while decreasing Tb.Sp and Po. These bioactive YBCH provide a novel strategy for the treatment of osteoporosis, presenting promising applications in nutritional supplements and functional food.

The ammonia system—compared to traditional acid system—presents considerable benefits when treating zinc (Zn) secondary resources that contain high concentrations of iron, fluorine, chlorine, and low Zn. However, the ammonia-based approach is still facing challenges in maintaining high-quality and efficient Zn electrodeposition. Herein, we propose an efficient ammonia system—enhanced with polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 20,000 (PEG20000) and bone glue (BG)—for smooth, compact, and fine-grain Zn electrodeposition. In the bench-scale operation, we achieve a notably low energy consumption of 2415.58 kW h/t Zn and a high current efficiency of 97.46%, with smooth and compact zinc deposit in fine-grained size of 25.4 nm. Electrochemical behavior analysis indicates that introducing the synergistic PEG20000 and BG promotes electrodeposition polarization and a three-dimensional instantaneous nucleation mode. Overall, the integration of PEG20000 and BG as additives in the ammonia system emerges as a technically and economically feasible strategy for zinc electrodeposition.

Objective Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (hBMSC)-derived exosomes exhibit protective effects againstinflammatory diseases. This study aimed to explore the effects of hBMSC-derived exosomes on osteoarthritis (OA) invitro and its related mechanisms. Materials and Methods In this experimental study, we characterised exosomes derived from hBMSCs by transmissionelectron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking and Western blot analysis. Cellular uptake of exosomes was observed byfluorescent microscopy. Cell viability of chondrocytes exposed to interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) was determined by theCell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to determineexpression levels of genes related to apoptosis, inflammation, cartilage collagen metabolism and mitogen-activatedprotein kinases. Results Fluorescence microscopy revealed that hBMSC-derived exosomes could be taken up by chondrocytes.hBMSC-derived exosomes could significantly enhance cell viability of chondrocytes in response to IL-1β treatment.RT-qPCR showed significant up-regulation of Survivin, Versican, IL-1β, IL-6, NF-κB, MMP-13, MAPK p38, JNK, ERK,Aggrecan and SOX9 expression levels by IL-1β treatment, while their mRNA expression levels decreased after co-culture with exosomes. The anti-inflammatory gene TGF-β was markedly suppressed by IL-1β treatment; however, weobserved its expression after co-culture with exosomes. Additionally, the pro-inflammatory genes IL-1β, IL-6, NF-κB,TNF-α and TNF-β displayed significantly elevated expression levels in the IL-1β group and reduced expression levelsafter co-culture with exosomes. Conclusion hBMSC-derived exosomes may play a protective role in chondrocytes through inhibiting cell apoptosisand the inflammatory response. These results will provide a novel therapeutic strategy for OA.

Antioxidant peptides from natural polymer collagen are highly desirable and their ability to coordinate with minerals will provide new leads for the prevention and treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases. Here, we tested the changes of structures and functional properties of bovine bone collagen peptides (BBCP) after magnesium chelation. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results revealed that Mg(II) chelated with BBCP mainly via amino nitrogen and carboxyl oxygen atoms. The fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) results indicated that Mg(II) could induce and stabilize the conformational structures, and change the amino acid distribution on the surfaces of BBCP. The chelation of BBCP and Mg(II) led to the improvement of radical scavenging activities, and enhanced the intracellular antioxidant enzyme activities and GSH levels, thus demonstrating higher protective and reparative effects against H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative damage. This work provides mechanistic insights for further development of peptide-magnesium chelates for oxidative stress mitigation.

Osteoporotic fractures are characterized by abnormal inflammation, deterioration of the bone microenvironment, weakened mechanical properties, and difficulties in osteogenic differentiation. The chronic inflammatory state characterized by aging macrophages leads to delayed or non-healing of the fracture or even the formation of bone defects. The current bottleneck in clinical treatment is to achieve strong fixation of the comminuted bone fragments and effective regulation of the complex microenvironment of aging macrophages. Inspired by cement and gravel in concrete infrastructure, a biomimetic bone glue with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres is developed and levodopa/oxidized chitosan hydrogel stabilized on an organic-inorganic framework of nanohydroxyapatite, named DOPM. DOPM is characterized via morphological and mechanical characterization techniques, in vitro experiments with bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells, and in vivo experiments with an aged SD rat model exhibiting osteoporotic bone defects. DOPM exhibited excellent adhesion properties, good biocompatibility, and significant osteogenic differentiation. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that DOPM improved the inflammatory microenvironment by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway and promoting aging macrophage polarization toward M2 macrophages, thus significantly accelerating bone defect repair and regeneration. This biomimetic bone glue, which enhances osteointegration and reestablishes the homeostasis of aging macrophages, has potential applications in the treatment of osteoporotic bone defects.
