Renewable energy-driven bicarbonate conversion to valuable chemicals presents an attractive strategy for mitigating CO 2 emissions, as bicarbonate can be efficiently generated from the capture of atmospheric CO 2 using alkaline solutions with reactive absorption. In this work, we present a CO 2 -mediated bicarbonate conversion to pure formate using a cation exchange membrane-based electrolyzer with a 25 cm 2 electrode area. Our electrolysis achieved selectivities exceeding 75% for formate at a total current of 2.5 A, achieving formate concentrations up to 1.2 M and yields as high as 95% over extended periods. The techno-economic assessment confirmed the economic viability of the process, highlighting the potential for bicarbonate electrolysis as a sustainable method for producing valuable chemicals.

Hyphenated chromatographic techniques are widely used to analyze and characterize complex samples. Chemometric methods are generally needed to extract the qualitative and quantitative information of the target analytes from complex hyphenated chromatographic data. However, neither two-way nor three-way chemometric methods are efficient enough in analyzing hyphenated chromatographic data with both severe peak overlapping and retention time shift across samples. To address this issue, a practical framework was proposed herein. It consists of three chemometric algorithms, that is, (1) “fix-sized moving window evolving target spectral projection” for locating the possible peak positions of the target analytes, (2) “target identification based on singular value comparison” for determining whether the identified peaks are indeed the chromatographic peaks of the target analytes, and (3) “fix-sized moving window evolving trilinear decomposition” for obtaining the quantitative results of the target analytes. Experimental results on the GC-MS data sets of mixture samples of 10 compounds verified that the proposed framework could deal with the problems of both severe peak overlapping and retention time shift across samples. The proposed framework has the advantages of simplicity in concept, easy implementation, and good performance and hence is expected to be a competitive alternative to existing methods for the analysis of hyphenated chromatographic data of complex samples.

With the development of analytical instrument towards more and more high-way and complex, it is very important and meaningful work to obtain ultra-high-way chemical data and explore its analytical methods. In this paper, a novel and excellent six-way algorithm combination method (six-way ACM) was proposed. In addition, a real chemically meaningful ultra-high-way sexalinear data array was obtained and constructed for the first time. The proposed six-way data array has highly collinearity, which puts forward higher requirements for parsing this data array to a certain extent. To verify the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, it was used to analyze the above real sexalinear six-way data array and a series of simulated six-way data arrays with different noise levels. The results of real data and simulated data demonstrate that the proposed method can be well used in the analysis of six-way data arrays and shows fascinating performance, including insensitive to excessive number of components, fast convergence speed, and suitable for high collinearity and high noise data. Compared with three-way, four-way, and five-way calibration methods, the six-way ACM provides higher sensitivity, a lower limit of detection, a lower limit of quantification, and more stable and accurate results, showing an outstanding “higher-order advantages” and better ability to handle collinearity problems. This work provides not only data analysis method for high-order instruments that may emerge in the future but also real data support and methodological reference for theoretical research on high-order tensor algebra.

The combined fouling effect prevalent in the nanofiltration (NF) process severely limits its use. In this study, cation exchange membrane (CEM) electrolysis was performed to alleviate NF membrane fouling by controlling interface characteristics. The results revealed that CEM electrolysis (hydraulic retention time with 0.24 or 0.36 h) effectively improved NF membrane permeability by 201%–211% and achieved a stability of > 8 LMH/bar. The divalent cations were removed through CEM electrolysis, with a decrease in Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ by approximately 68.8% and 30.9%, respectively, which was related to scaling potential reduction. This softening function reduced the possibility of bridging of organics with divalent cations, which contributed to the lower molecular weight of organic matter (mainly humic substances) distributed in 1.4–23 kDa. The improved organic indicators of the NF membrane permeate quality implied that the membrane interface characteristics improved. The foulant layer on the NF membrane dominated humic substances, and biopolymers exhibited hydrophobic, smooth, and porous characteristics. The self-aggregation of foulants on the NF membrane surface stimulated the interface characteristics with high water permeability. Energy consumption confirmed the feasibility of CEM electrolysis on NF application. Thus, CEM electrolysis as a chemical-free approach that can be combined with NF and can provide guidance for NF membrane fouling in urban water treatment and water reclamation.

To overcome the low efficiency, high cost and less environmentally friendly limitations in existing textile wastewater disposal technology, an innovative approach of cation exchange membrane electrolysis coupled with magnesium salt precipitation (CEM-MSP) was implemented. This method simultaneously achieved the high-efficiency adsorption decolorization of dyes and the recovery of lye. The results indicated that cation exchange membrane electrolysis with MgSO4added to the anode chamber (CEM-EA) exhibited excellent decolorization performance on DB86 dye and achieved low residual Mg2+concentration. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism of Mg(OH)2on DB86 was systematically investigated. The adsorption process fitted with the first-order kinetic, where the adsorption of DB86 by Mg(OH)2was dominated by electrostatic attraction. Detailed comparison of the four systems demonstrated that CEM-EA was superior to the single magnesium addition method (85.24%) or the stand-alone membrane electrolysis method (10.36%), with 99% decolorization efficiency. In comparison to the cation exchange membrane electrolysis with MgSO4added to the cathode chamber (CEM-EC), the CEM-EA could diminish the Mg2+concentration in the effluent to facilitate the lye recovery while guaranteeing the decolorization efficiency. In addition, the DB86 adsorption behavior during the formation of Mg(OH)2in the cathode chamber was investigated. The Mg(OH)2particles were relatively dense copper-blue agglomerates with a thin lamellar layer on the surface. Notably, only slight mass contamination was observed on the cation exchange membrane (CEM) surface after multiple cycles. Minor CEM contamination illustrated the stable treatment efficiency of the CEM-EA after several cycles. This study constructed a novel approach integrating membrane electrolysis with magnesium salt precipitation, delivering valuable technical solutions for textile wastewater disposal.

Mebendazole (MBZ) is a tubulin-suppressive antihelmintic agent with low toxicity, which has been repurposed to treat different types of tumors. Chemoresistance is quite common in refractory or relapsed T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), which leads to dismal chances of recovery. In this study, MBZ was found to suppress the proliferation and reduce the viability of T-ALL cell line, CCRF-CEM, and its chemoresistant derivative, CEM/C1, at nanomolar concentrations. The inhibitive effects were found to be dose-dependent and not to be affected by the chemoresistance of CEM/C1 cells. Cell cycle arrest, caspase 3/7 activation and tubulin disruption were found in the MBZ-treated T-ALL cells. Notch1 signaling, which is often aberrantly activated in T-ALL cells, was showed to be suppressed by MBZ treatments. MBZ administration in murine T-ALL models also suppressed the growth of CEM/C1 cells, indicating that MBZ may be developed as a therapeutic agent for chemoresistant T-ALLs. The mRNA levels of the Notch1 and Hes1 were also confirmed to be suppressed by MBZ in vivo, which was consistent with the in vitro observations. This study demonstrated, for the first time, that MBZ could inhibit chemoresistant T-ALL cells both in vitro and in vivo , and the Notch1 signaling pathway was suppressed by MBZ treatment.

AIDS , a serious fatal disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is an epidemic disease for which no effective vaccine has been established. The current therapeutic interventions for AIDS have limited efficacy because they are unable to clear HIV infections and the continuous occurrence of resistant HIV strains. Therefore, the exploitation of new drugs to prevent the spread of AIDS remains a high priority. In this study, the effects of icariin and its metabolite anhydroicaritin on SIV/HIV replication were investigated. In CEM × 174 cells and PBMC cells, both icariin and anhydroicaritin can significantly inhibit HIV-1 or SIVmac251 replication. Furthermore, molecular docking studies revealed that icariin and anhydroicaritin can act on both HIV reverse transcriptase and protease but could not bind to integrase . Reverse transcriptase and protease inhibition biological assays showed that both icariin and anhydroicaritin could significantly inhibit only HIV reverse transcriptase. In summary, the two compounds can significantly inhibit HIV/SIV in vitro and their targets may be mainly involved with HIV reverse transcriptase.

Objective. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous malignancy with a low long-term survival rate. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of decitabine (DAC) treatment cell proliferation and apoptosis in AML and role of the expression of LINC00599 and, consequently, miR-135a-5p. Materials and Methods. Human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) and human acute lymphatic leukemia (CCRF-CEM) cells were treated with various concentrations of DAC. Cell proliferation in each group was detected using the cell counting kit 8. For each group, apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected using flow cytometry. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to examine the expression of lncRNA LINC00599. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins was analyzed using western blotting. The regulatory relationship between miR-135a-5p and LINC00599 was verified by constructing miR-135a-5p mimics, miR-135a-5p inhibit, wild type LINC00599 3-untranslated region (UTR), and mutant LINC00599 3-UTR. Ki-67 expression in the tumor tissues of nude mice was detected using immunofluorescent assays. Results. Both DAC and LINC00599 Inhibit groups were able to significantly reduce the proliferation of HL60 and CCRF-CEM cells, increase apoptosis, upregulate the expression of Bad, cleaved caspase-3, and miR-135a-5p, downregulate the expression of Bcl-2, and elevate ROS levels in cells, with these effects being more pronounced after combined treatment with DAC and LINC00599 Inhibit. In comparison to mimic NC, the miR-135a-5p mimic group significantly decreased the relative fluorescence activity ratio of LINC00599 3-UTR wild-type CCRF-CEM cells. The LINC00599 Inhibit and miR-135a-5p mimic groups exhibited substantially reduced proliferation of HL60 and CCRF-CEM cells, increased apoptosis, upregulated Bad, cleaved caspase-3, and miR-135a-5p expression, along with downregulated Bcl-2 and LINC00599 expression and increased ROS levels in cells; these effects were more pronounced after LINC00599 Inhibit was combined with miR-135a-5p mimics. In vivo experiments revealed that both DAC and LINC00599 Inhibit were able to considerably reduce the long diameter, short meridian, volume, and mass of tumors, increase miR-135a-5p expression, and decrease LINC00599 and ki-67 expression in tumor tissues of nude mice. This effect was more pronounced when the DAC and LINC00599 Inhibit were used in combination. Conclusion. DAC regulates the expression of miR-135a-5p by regulating the expression of LINC00599, which in turn affects cell proliferation, apoptosis, and tumor proliferation. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for improving the clinical outcome of AML.

An ion exchange membrane (IEM) is an important component in dual-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to separate cathodic chromium from anode bacteria to avoid toxicity. Common used IEMs (e.g., BPM, CEM, PEM, AEM) have different ionic transfer abilities which could influence MFC performance and chromium removal. Additionally, to distinguish chromium “removal” or “reduction” by MFCs, the chromium removal in this study was further analyzed into cathodic reduction, adsorption on the membrane and permeation through membrane to the anode chamber. It was found that BPM achieved the best performance in removing hexavalent chromium (99.4 ± 0.2 %) and balancing pH and conductivity in both chambers, followed by AEM (97.9 ± 0.8 %) and CEM (95.6 ± 0.8 %), while PEM can not well maintain pH and conductivity leading to the worst anode performance and lowest chromium removal efficiency. However, the adsorption of chromium on the AEM accounts for 91.1 ± 0.7 %, which was much higher than the other three membranes. The permeation of chromium through the membrane were all lower than 0.2% which can be ignored. SEM and EDS results showed that chromium deposits and bacteria were detected on the membrane facing cahtode and anode, respectively, indicating that membrane scaling and fouling were inevitable and happened within 24 h operation.

Portable detection of cancer cells is important for early-stage diagnostic applications and prognosis of cancer. Herein, a simple and sensitive chemiluminescence method was proposed for portable detection of cancer cells via a handheld luminometer. It is based on the cancer cell triggered cyclic strand displacement reaction (SDR) for signal amplification. Cancer cells, CCRF-CEM, bind to their aptamer and release the trigger DNA (TDNA) of SDR. The TDNA initiates the cyclic SDR between magnetic bead modified hairpin DNA 1 (MB-H1) and HRP-tagged hairpin DNA 2 (HRP-H2), resulting in an enrichment of HRP onto the surface of magnetic beads by forming H1/H2 duplexes. HRP catalyzed luminol/H2O2/PIP solution to produce a strong chemiluminescence (CL) signal. CCRF-CEM cells were sensitively detected by combining magnetic enrichment with the signal amplification of SDR. The CL intensity showed an excellent linear relationship with the number of CCRF-CEM cells in the range of 100 to 5 × 104 cells per mL. The detection limit was as low as 85 cells per mL. Therefore, it offers a sensitive, cheap and portable method for the chemiluminescence detection of cancer cells and provides a new option for the early diagnosis of cancers.

Developing efficient and sensitive cytosensing method has great significance for the detection of low abundant circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor, as an attractive analytical tool, has shown a great potential in sensitive cell counting. Its detection efficiency is strongly dependent on the electrochemiluminescent materials, whose property is related to its morphology and surface vacancies. Herein, the ultrathin Lu 2 O 3 –S nanosheets contain abundant oxygen vacancies were newly synthesized. Its special two-dimensional (2D) structure morphology and surface vacancy endowed it intensified and stable ECL emission. The possible mechanism was deduced from experiments and discussed. Then, through integrating with a DNA device cycle-amplification system plus signal conversion pretreatment, we constructed a crossed enhanced ECL cytosensing platform. In this system, the target cells were transformed into programmable sequences, which could be next coupled with DNA device cycle-amplification on the modified electrode surface. Using Ag 2 S quantum dots as the energy acceptor toward Lu 2 O 3 –S donor, and CCRF-CEM cells (CEM) as the model CTCs, an enhanced ECL cytosensing platform was proposed, displaying good analytical performance for acute lymphoblastic leukemia cancer cell detection. The ECL signal responded proportionately on the CEM cells concentration in a wide range of 5 × 10 to 1 × 10 6 cells/mL, and a low detection limit of 10 cells/mL was obtained. This work provided an alternative way to design high-performance ECL luminophores, and also would be an effective solution for CTCs counting.

The effective capture, release and reanalysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are of great significance to acquire tumor information and promote the progress of tumor therapy. Particularly, the selective release of multiple types of CTCs is critical to further study; however, it is still a great challenge. To meet this challenge, we designed a smart DNAzyme probe-based platform. By combining multiple targeting aptamers and multiple metal ion responsive DNAzymes, efficient capture and selective release of multiple types CTCs were realized. Sgc8c aptamer integrated Cu2+-dependent DNAzyme and TD05 aptamer integrated Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme can capture CCRF-CEM cells and Ramos cells respectively on the substrate. With the addition of Cu2+ or Mg2+, CCRF-CEM cells or Ramos cells will be released from the substrate with specific selectivity. Furthermore, our platform has been successfully demonstrated in the whole blood sample. Therefore, our capture/release platform will benefit research on the molecular analysis of CTCs after release and has great potential for cancer diagnosis and individualized treatment.
