Background and aims Colorectal cancer (CRC) is part of the most widespread malignant tumors. At present, colonoscopy is a routine procedure in the diagnosis of CRC, but it is traumatic. Carcinoembryonic antigen, CA199, and CA242 are common serum markers for the diagnosis of CRC; however, they do not demonstrate satisfactory specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis of CRC. Hence, Now it is necessary to screen many valuable serum biomarkers for CRC, proteomics methods have been used to investigate PTMs such as glycosylation of proteins with prominent roles in the occurrence and development of tumors. Methods This study screens altering glycosylated proteins of CRC tissues using LC-MS/MS quantitative glycoproteomics, and then these candidate biomarkers for CRC are further validated by serum glycoproteomics. Results The results of glycoproteomics in CRC tissues show that the abundance of 160 and 79 glycerogelatin proteins was obviously upregulated and downregulated compared with their adjacent tissues( P < 0.05). Bioinformatics analysis suggests that these molecules are mainly involved in many biological processes, including skeletal system development, collagen fibril organization, and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Results of serum glycoproteomics show that the changing trends of 2 protein glycosylation were consistent with MS results of CRC tissues, including ICAM1and APMAP. Areas under the ROC curve (AUC) results confirm that ICAM1and APMAP as early immune diagnosis markers of CRC has excellent sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion The ICAM1 and APMAP may serve as a potential tumor marker for CRC.

Low-rank coals are difficult to float using common hydrocarbon oily collectors, such as dodecane and diesel. In this investigation, a mixture of dodecane and n-valeric acid was used as a collector to enhance low-rank coal flotation. The changes in the induction time and surface functional groups of low-rank coal were measured before and after different collector’s adsorption to indicate its absorption mechanism. The surface free energy was calculated to identify the interaction mechanism quantitatively between coal and collectors. The results showed that the flotation performance using the mixture as a collector was much better than that using dodecane or n-valeric acid solely. The induction time of coal conditioned with the mixed collector was the shortest, which meant the better hydrophobicity and floatability. When used the mixture as collector, the polar group of the n-valeric acid interacting with the oxygenated functional group on the coal surface by hydrogen bond while dodecane primarily covers the hydrophobic sites on the coal surface. Additionally, the mixed collector can minimize the surface free energy of raw coal, the dodecane primarily reduces the nonpolar part of the coal surface free energy while the n-valeric acid reduces the polar part of the coal surface free energy.

Effectively and quantificationally detecting hazardous gas n-butanol is very significant in daily life, which can bring about a safe living condition for humans. In this study, the one-dimensional In2O3 nanorods were successfully synthesized via hydrothermal route and post-heat treatment. Noticeably, one-dimensional nanorods structures were obtained and the products presented a superior growth orientation along with (222) plane. Additionally, systematical gas-sensing measurements of the sensor made from In2O3 nanorods towards hazardous n-butanol gas were conducted. Results exhibited that the fabricated sensor showed excellent n-butanol sensing properties, with aspects to a superior response value of 342.20 with concentration 100 ppm at 240 °C, remarkable selectivity, fast response/recovery times (77.5/34.2 s) and good stability. More interestingly, the detection limit of sensor as low as 500 ppb and a good linearity relationship between response values and n-butanol concentrations was presented. Gas-sensitive properties of this sensor are better than previously reported in n-butanol detection. All results demonstrate that one-dimensional In2O3 nanorod is a promising sensor material to practical applications in effectively detecting n-butanol gas.

Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to valuable chemicals using electricity from renewable sources is a promising approach to realize the carbon cycle. Here, a novel bimetallic nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst (M-N-C, where M denotes the metal) CoCu–N–C electrocatalyst has been synthesized by pyrolyzing a copper-doped cobalt(II) acetate–phenanthroline complex formed from the metal acetates and 1,10-phenanthroline dissolved in ethanol. The optimal CoCu–N–C catalyst with molar ratio of Cu/(Co + Cu) = 0.15 displayed superior performance, enabling a faradaic efficiency of CO production of 76.5% at an overpotential of 0.57 V as well as an increased CO current density of 8.48 mA cm −2 at −0.98 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (far superior than the Co–N–C of 4.20 mA cm −2 and Cu–N–C of 0.07 mA cm −2 ) and a decreased charge-transfer resistance compared with Co–N–C and Cu–N–C catalysts. The addition of Cu, which serves as a structure promoter to improve the dispersion of Co, thereby providing sufficient Co-N x active sites for the electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CRR). Moreover, doping Cu changes the electronic environment around Co slightly and promotes the charge transfer capability so that reduces the energy barrier of potential-limiting energy, thereby improving the CRR performance of catalyst.

The solubility of N-ethylcarbazole in (ethanol+petroleum ether) binary solvent mixtures was measured with the temperature changing from 280.15 K to 316.15 K. The experimental data matched the solvent/Redlich-Kister (CNIBS/R-K) equation and the Jouyban-Acree equation. Computational results showed the CNIBS/R-K equation was more suitable than the Jouyban-Acree equation. The solution process in the thermodynamic properties, including the Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy, was calculated by the van’t Hoff analysis.

Hydrogen evolution by photocatalytic technology has been one of the most promising and attractive solutions, and can harvest and convert the abundant solar energy into green, renewable hydrogen energy. As a new kind of photocatalytic material, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has drawn much attention in photocataluytic H2production due to its visible light response, ease of preparation and good stability. For a higher photocatalyic performance, N defects were introduced in to the traditional g-C3N4in this work. The existence of N defects was proved by adequate material characterization. Significantly, a new absorption region at around 500 nm of N-deficient g-C3N4appeared, revealing the exciting n-π* transition of lone pair electrons. The photocatalytic H2production performance of N-deficient g-C3N4was increased by 5.8 times. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of N-deficient g-C3N4was attributed to the enhanced visible light absorption, as well as the promoted separation of photo-generated carries and increased specific surface area.Keywords:N defects;g-C3N4;H2evolution;photocatalysis;n-π* transition

A high surface area (HSA) Ce 0.75 Zr 0.25 O 2 (CZ) support was synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis method with assistance of surfactant (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide , CTAB), and then 2.0 wt% Ru was impregnated on it to obtain a steam reforming catalyst for n-dodecane. The surface area of Ru/HSA-CZ catalyst is 107.6 m 2 g −1 , which is ca. three times higher than that prepared through the sol-gel (sg) method (34.3 m 2 g −1 , Ru/CZ-sg) and ca. 40% higher than that without CTAB (76.7 m 2 g −1 , Ru/CZ-wo). Catalytic steam reforming of n-dodecane, shows the completely conversion of n-dodecane over Ru/HSA-CZ and slightly drops about 6% (650 °C, LHSV = 12 mL/g h, S/C = 4, time on stream = 7 h) while 81% and 70% were observed for the Ru/CZ-wo and Ru/CZ-sg but with twice (or triple) deactivation rates. The possible reason for observed better performance of Ru/HSA-CZ should be attributed to the high metal dispersion of Ru over HSA-CZ, and the favorable Ru-support interaction as evidenced by H 2 -Temperature programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR), and high redox ability of high surface area Ce 0.75 Zr 0.25 O 2 support thanks to high Ce 3+ content. Further steam reforming of n-dodecane over Ru/HSA-CZ at higher LHSV (750 °C, LHSV = 36 mL/g h, S/C = 4) exhibits completed conversion and without significant deactivation.

Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) production coupled with selective oxidation of organic compounds into high-value-added organic intermediates has expansive prospects in the utilization and transformation of solar energy, which meets the development requirements of green chemistry. In this work, high-efficiency hole cocatalyst PdS-decorated In2S3 flower-like microspheres are fabricated for the effective visible-light-driven C–N coupling of amines to imines coupled with H2 evolution. Owing to the establishment of the internal electric field, which further boosts the transfer of photoexcited holes to PdS, PdS–In2S3 exhibits distinctly enhanced photocatalytic redox performance, which is 39.8 times higher for H2 and 14.3 times higher for N-benzylidenebenzylamine than that of the blank In2S3, along with high selectivity and stability. Furthermore, the practicability of dehydrogenation coupling of various aromatic amines to the corresponding C–N coupling products on PdS–In2S3 has been demonstrated and a plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed. This work is anticipated to stimulate further interest in establishing an innovative photoredox platform for selective organic synthesis coupled with H2 evolution in a green and sustainable way.

N -halamine-based antibacterial agents have high efficiency and rechargeable antibacterial properties. However, their applications are limited due to their complex synthetic process and fuzzy antibacterial mechanism. In this study, a novel N -halamine antibacterial polymer was synthesized by inverse emulsion polymerization and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Due to the difficulty of purification, most of the subjects studied previously were hydrophobic polymers, while little research on hydrophilic polymers. In this experiment, this difficulty was overcome by controlling the dosage of sodium hypochlorite and methods of dialysis. Because of the complex cell structure of Gram-negative bacteria, it is difficult for N -halamines to release the oxidizing chlorine into the cell. However, the hydrophilic N -halamines can solve this problem, which showed a stronger antibacterial effect on Gram-negative Escherichia coli synthesized in this study. In addition, the particle size and hydrophilic property of the polymer were changed by changing the amount of initiator, and the differences in their antibacterial properties were studied. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A styrene derivative, 4-N,N-dimethylaminostyrene (MAS), serving as both catalyst and monomer was exploited in reversible complexation mediated polymerization (RCMP). Radical trap experiment and UV–vis spectroscopy analysis revealed that MAS as a catalyst could abstract iodine from iodine-containing compound to generate propagating radical species. Kinetic studies demonstrated that the polymerization of styrene in the presence of MAS proceeded in a “living”/controlled manner, affording polymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions. The livingness of the obtained polymer was confirmed by chain extension. Determined by water contact angle measurement, incorporation of MAS into the polymer led to the enhancement of surface energy. Moreover, using α,ω-bis(2-iodo-2-phenylacetoxy)-end functionalized cis -1,4-polyisoprene as a macroinitiator which was synthesized through cross-metathesis of cis -1,4-polyisoprene with cis -1, 4-bis(2-iodo-2-phenylacetoxy)-2-butene, the polymerization of styrene in the presence of MAS also exhibited typical features of “living”/controlled radical polymerization to yield polystyrene-block-polyisoprene-block-polystyrene.

A lactam–lactam dimer (LLD) and lactam NH···O═C (amide) catemer (LAC) are two competing motifs in N-phenyl-2-hydroxynicotinanilides (PHNAs). Steric effects play an important role in determining the outcome of this competition, and in general, PHNAs with no or negligible steric hindrance take on a near-planar conformation and form LLDs, rather than the widely observed amide NH···O═C hydrogen-bond chains. Conversely, those with significant steric hindrance are forced to take on a twisted conformation and form a lactam NH···O═C (amide) hydrogen bond. Nevertheless, steric factors are not the only criteria, as an LLD and an LAC have been observed in the two polymorphs (1-I and 1-II) of 2-hydroxy-N-m-tolyl-nicotinamide (namely 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid m-tolylamide, compound 1), although the molecules in both forms have a nearly identical conformation, in contrast to five other newly synthesized PHNAs (2–6), whose crystal structures are sustained on the LLD. Thus, synthon polymorphism is possible in conformationally planar PHNAs. Theoretical studies were performed to provide an explanation for this observation. The lattice energies of the two forms of 1 showed only an insignificant difference. A Hirshfeld analysis revealed that the loss of stability due to less hydrogen bonding in 1-II is compensated by the participation of π–π stacking. Other than the commonly observed LLD in the crystals, π–π stacking provides a significant stabilization for each crystal, with its particular effects being dependent on the substitution pattern of the compound. A noncovalent interaction (NCI) analysis further provided a visual demonstration of the important intermolecular interactions. Potentially the other planar compounds could behave in a similar manner.
