Utilization of chitosan as the host polymer of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) can avoid the carcinogenic chloromethylation step which is indispensable for aromatic polymers during their quaternization process. To further improve the ionic conductivity and mechanical stability, a hydroxide ion conductor (layered double hydroxides, LDHs) was intercalated by glycine betaine and then incorporated to quaternized chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol mixed matrix to prepare AEMs. Due to intercalated organic ions, the LDHs can be homogeneously dispersed in the matrix, thus promoting the load transfer from the matrix to stiff LDHs. The tensile strength and elongation of the composite membrane (5% intercalated LDHs content) are 23.6 MPa and 51.4% which are 71% and 44% respectively higher than those of the pure QCS/PVA membrane. Moreover, the hydroxide ion conductor (LDHs) and the intercalated quaternary ammonium groups could act as new OH − conductive sites and further enhance the ionic conductivity. The membrane with 5 wt.% intercalated LDHs loading shows ionic conductivity of ˜35.7 mS cm −1 (80 °C) and peak power density of 97.8 mW cm −2 which are respectively 42% and ˜50% higher than those of the pure membrane. Furthermore, better alkaline stability was also proved in the composite system, and the ionic conductivity of the composite membrane can retain 70% (only 49% for the pure membrane) even after immersing in a 1 M KOH for 168 h.

Introduction: Bone tissue engineering is considered the ideal approach for bone repair. Mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) possesses the characteristics of high drug-loading capacity and bioactivity. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound contributes to promoting fracture healing and bone defect repair, and dimethyloxalyl glycine (DMOG) is a small molecular inhibitor that can suppress prolyl hydroxylase, reducing the degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor. Methods: In this study, we proposed to prepare DMOG-loaded MBG/poly(D,L-lactide) composite scaffolds (DMOG-MBG/PDLLA) for promoting bone repair. The effects of ultrasound stimulation and DMOG release on the cell responses of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and bone repair in vivo were investigated. Results and Discussion: The results showed that both ultrasound stimulation and DMOG release could promote the proliferation, adhesion and differentiation of BMSCs and HUVECs, respectively. After the implantation of scaffolds in rat cranial bone defect model for 8 weeks, the results indicated that the combined ultrasound stimulation and DMOG release contributed to the highest ability for promoting bone repair. Hence, the DMOG-MBG/PDLLA scaffolds with ultrasound stimulation are promising for application in bone repair.

The emergence of biodegradable nanogenerators (BD-NGs) has provided a promising and safe approach for the development of biotransient medical electronics. However, the rapid advancement of these devices faces a major challenge due to the low output performance of BD-NGs. To address this issue, we develop a high-performance and fully biodegradable piezo-triboelectric hybrid nanogenerator (FB-HNG) for the first time. The FB-HNG is based on a sandwich-like heterostructured piezoelectric film composed of PVA/Gy/PVA. By utilizing an electric field-assisted water evaporation method to modulate the crystal process, a PVA/Gy/PVA film with enhanced piezoelectric properties (maximum d 33 of 9 pC/N) is prepared. The surface of PVA layer is designed to rub against a PLGA film, forming the triboelectric part, while the inner Gy bulk layer provides impressive piezoelectric output. Through the coupled effects of triboelectric and piezoelectric mechanisms, a maximum output voltage and current of 94 V and 2.3 μA are achieved, respectively. Notably, the current density of 1.53 μA/cm 2 and charge density of 6.53 nC/cm 2 of the FB-HNG are the highest among reported BD-NGs. Furthermore, the FB-HNG also presents excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability both in vitro and in vivo, which highlights its potential and prospects as a power source for transient medical devices .

Abstract Colloidal Gas Aphron (CGA) drilling fluid is one of the most promising
techniques in underbalanced drilling with excellent plugging and reservoir
protection functions. Due to the limitation of poor thermal stability of
commercial foaming agents used in oilfields, the research on high-temperature
resistant CGA drilling fluid is still a challenge. In this study, a
biodegradable glycine foaming agent AGS-12 was synthesized via a one-step
method. The surface activity, foaming performance (25–150°C) of AGS-12 and the
high temperature performance of AGS-12 based CGA drilling fluid (120–150°C) were
studied. All the results provide a basis for the potential application of AGS-12
as an eco-friendly foaming agent in high-temperature CGA drilling fluids: 1) The
product AGS-12 with 87% conversion rate was synthesized successfully by one-step
method, which can be verified by FT-IR. TGA analysis suggested that AGS-12 had
good thermal stability within 315°C. Moreover, AGS-12 is easily biodegradable
and fully meets the first level discharge standard of petrochemical industry
pollutants. 2) AGS-12 can reduce the surface tension of solvent water from 72.38
to 28.44 mN/m. Analysis of fundamental surface activity parameters illustrates
the higher surface activity of AGS-12, compared with a variety of amino acid
surfactants. 3) Waring-Blender test showed that foams generated by 3% AGS-12
always have higher half-life, foam quality and lower drainage speed than the
foaming agents available on market within 150°C. 4) At 120/140/150°C, aphrons
with diameter of 10–150 µm have been successfully generated in CGA drilling
fluid by using AGS-12 as foaming agent. Rheological and filtration tests
suggested that AGS-12 based CGA drilling fluid is a high-performance drilling
fluid with strong shear thinning behavior, high viscosity, and low filtration
invasion.

To address the need for efficient separation of dyes and salts in textile wastewater, this study developed a novel two-dimensional talc nanofiltration membrane with high selectivity and fouling resistance. The membrane was constructed via vacuum-assisted self-assembly of exfoliated natural talc nanosheets with glycine (Gly) and chitosan (CS). The intercalation of Gly and CS achieved a synergistic functional coupling of “interlayer sieving” and “surface anti-fouling”: the former precisely tuned the spacing of the two-dimensional channels (∼9.20 Å), while the latter effectively smoothed the membrane surface. During dye/salt separation, the membrane exhibited outstanding performance, demonstrating a high rejection rate for Brilliant Blue (BB) dye (99.74%), a high permeation rate for sodium chloride (94.47%), and a water permeability of 60.95 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 . Furthermore, the introduction of trace amounts of CS significantly enhanced the anti-fouling properties of membranes. After ten fouling-cleaning cycles, the flux recovery rate (FRR) reached 80.06%, representing a 10.91% improvement over the unmodified membrane, while structural integrity and separation performance were well-maintained during long-term operation. This study provides a new strategy for designing high-performance dye separation membranes and broadens the application potential of natural clay minerals in wastewater treatment and resource recovery.

In this paper, a multifunctional wound dressing with sustained-release and antibacterial properties was prepared using cellulose acetate (CA) as the matrix and Dimethyloxallyl Glycine (DMOG) and silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) as the drug loading component. The scanning electron microscopy shows that the microstructure of the nanofibers is uniform and droplet free, and the diameters of CA and CA/β-CD/DMOG nanofibers are mainly concentrated in the range of 40–120 nm, and the diameters of CA/DMOG/Ag-NPs nanofibers are mainly concentrated in the range of 120–200 nm. In vitro release test confirms that the CA/DMOG/Ag-NPs nanofiber can slowly release DMOG within about 84 h, which abides by a typical diffusion, and the main driving force is the concentration gradient between the drug-carrying nanofibers and the releasing medium. The antibacterial performance test demonstrates that the material exhibits obvious antibacterial performance against both E. coli and B.subtilis bacteria with little adverse effects on cell viability proved by cell compatibility test. Taken together, CA/DMOG/Ag-NPs can be a wound dressing material with good application prospects to promote the healing of diabetic wounds.

BACKGROUND Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are the highly damaging pests for various crops, and the prevalence of RKNs has posed serious threats to worldwide agricultural harvest, severely affecting global food security and ecosystem health. Traditional pesticide systems on controlling RKNs generally cause environmental hazards and phytotoxicity due to the excessive use of pesticides resulted from low utilization efficiency. And effective approaches with biosafe and efficient features are highly demanded to break away from the dilemma caused by RKNs. RESULTS In this research, a nanopesticide system with root-targeted delivery function was developed to achieve effective prevention and control of RKNs. The nanocarriers (MSN-KH560-Gly) and the obtained nanopesticides (EB@MSN-KH560-Gly) were proved to be biosafe. Also, this nanopesticide system demonstrated sustained release behavior. The grafting of glycine (Gly) significantly improved the pesticide contents translocating to cucumber roots (about 304.7%). Besides, such root-targeted delivery function resulted in no root nodule in cucumber plants after the foliar application of these nanopesticides (prevention rate of 100%). In addition, the root nodule numbers of the infected cucumber plants decreased by 71.67%. CONCLUSION Foliar application of these Gly-functionalized nanopesticides achieved effective prevention and control of RKNs due to the root-targeted delivery property inherent in this nanopesticide system, and such root-targeted delivery strategy opens a novel and efficient method to protect crops from RKN invasion and thus facilitates the development of sustainable agriculture. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

ε-Polylysine is a novel food preservative approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), yet the mechanism of its effect on animal-derived foods remains unclear. Assessment of the effect of preservatives on goat meat products is necessary. Herein, metabolite accumulation and protein expression of ε-polylysine (0.025%, w/w) spiked with goat meat were investigated by nontarget metabolomics and proteomics combined with ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS) in a simulated in vitro digestion model. The amino side chain of ε-polylysine increased the activity of glycine aminotransferase due to its nucleophilic nature, inducing a significant upregulation of l-arginine (0.43–0.72 mg kg–1) and creatine (3.98–6.89 mg kg–1), with an improvement in muscle quality of goat meat. Downregulation of enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase expression led to upregulation of l-phenylalanine (2.26–3.25 mg kg–1) and l-tyrosine (0.98–1.29 mg kg–1). Collectively, this study first revealed the biochemical mechanism of ε-polylysine in goat meat products, which makes available new prospects for more accurate use of ε-polylysine in animal-derived foods.

The presence of reduced aminothiols, including homocysteine (Hcy), cysteine (Cys), cysteinyl-glycine (CG), and glutathione (GSH), is significantly increased in the pathological state. However, there have been no reports on the relationship between reduced aminothiols (Hcy, Cys, CG, and GSH) and different genders, ages, and drug combinations in human blood. The accurate quantification of these reduced thiols in biological fluids is important for monitoring some special pathological conditions of humans. However, the published methods typically not only require cumbersome and technically challenging processing procedures to ensure reliable measurements, but are also laborious and time-consuming, which may disturb the initial physiological balance and lead to inaccurate results. We developed a hollow fiber centrifugal ultrafiltration (HFCF-UF) method for sample preparation coupled with a high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method and used it to determine four reduced aminothiols (Hcy, Cys, CG, and GSH) in human blood for the first time. A total of 96 clinical patients were enrolled in our study. The influence of different genders, ages, and drug combinations on the levels of four reduced thiols in human blood was also discussed by SPSS 24.0. The sample preparation was simplified to a single 5 min centrifugation step in a sealed system that did not disturb the physiological environment. The validation parameters for the methodological results were excellent. The procedure was successfully applied to monitoring the concentrations of four reduced aminothiols (Hcy, Cys, CG, and GSH) in 96 clinical blood samples. There were no significant differences in Hcy, Cys, CG, or GSH for the different genders, ages, or combinations with methotrexate or vancomycin ( P > 0.05). However, there was a significant increase in Hcy concentration in patients treated with valproic acid who were diagnosed with epilepsy ( p =0.0007). It is advisable to measure reduced Hcy level in patients taking valproic acid. The developed HFCF-UF method was simple and accurate. It can be easily applied in clinical research to evaluate oxidative stress in further study. Graphical abstract

Surfactant-like peptides (SLPs) can self-assemble into various nanostructures, which have shown great potential for a variety of biomedical and biotechnological applications. In this work, two SLPs, V 4 Y, and V 4 AGY, were designed and synthesized, both of which had hydrophobic head valines (V) with large side-chain steric hindrance effect and the hydrophilic head tyrosine (Y) with a rigid ring and two negative charges in the basic solution. Fourier transform infrared and circular dichroism studies confirmed their different secondary structures, whereas atomic force microscopy and dynamic light scattering characterized the difference in their morphologies. In solution, they formed different secondary structures. Correspondingly, V 4 Y and V 4 AGY formed noncompact spherical aggregates and a spiral clubbed structure, respectively. In V 4 AGY, the introduction of alanine (A) and glycine (G) increased the molecule's flexibility and increased the distance between the tyrosine and four continuous valines, so as to weaken the synergistic action of electronic repulsion and steric hindrance and strengthen the intermolecular hydrogen bond beneficial to β-sheet formation and the axial growth of the self-assembly. Therefore, the flexibility of the molecule and the side-chain steric effect of the two heads of SLPs are non-negligible in the tuning process of peptide self-assembly, in addition to hydrogen-bonding, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions.

In this work, highly photoluminescent glycine (GLY) functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) (GLY-GQDs) were synthesized by a simple and green pyrolysis method employing ethylene glycol as carbon source, GLY as functional molecule. The as-synthesized GLY-GQDs exhibited excellent water solubility with a fluorescence quantum yield of 21.7%. The fluorescence of GLY-GQDs was intensively quenched by Ce 4+ via forming non luminescent complexes of GLY-GQDs-Ce 4+ . When ascorbic acid (AA) was in presence, Ce 4+ was reduced to Ce 3+ and the fluorescence of GLY-GQDs regained. In the light of this theory, a simple AA sensor was fabricated without complicated, costly and time-consuming operations. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence recovery ratio and the concentration of AA has a linear relationship in the range of 0.03–17.0 μM and with a detection limit of 25 nM which was one order higher sensitive than the reported methods Furthermore, this established sensor system also shows a high selectivity toward AA over a wide range of common biological molecules such as uric acid, dopamine and glutathione and so on. The proposed method was successfully applied for the AA detection in serum samples. All these suggested the potential of this GLY-GQDs based sensor in the clinical analysis.
