Particle-stabilized W1/O/W2 emulsion gels were fabricated using a two-step procedure: (i) a W1/O emulsion was formed containing saccharose (for osmotic stress balance) and gelatin (as a gelling agent) in the aqueous phase and polyglycerol polyricinoleate (a lipophilic surfactant) in the oil phase; (ii) this W1/O emulsion was then homogenized with another water phase (W2) containing wheat gliadin nanoparticles (hydrophilic emulsifier). The gliadin nanoparticles in the external aqueous phase aggregated at pH 5.5, which led to the formation of particle-stabilized W1/O/W2 emulsion gels with good stability to phase separation. These emulsion gels were then used to coencapsulate a hydrophilic bioactive (epigallocatechin-3-gallate, EGCG) in the internal aqueous phase (encapsulation efficiency = 65.5%) and a hydrophobic bioactive (quercetin) in the oil phase (encapsulation efficiency = 97.2%). The emulsion gels improved EGCG chemical stability and quercetin solubility under simulated gastrointestinal conditions, which led to a 2- and 4-fold increase in their effective bioaccessibility, respectively.

We demonstrate a new semiconducting polymer dot: the poly(o-phenylenediamine)–Rhodamine B copolymer dot (Pp–RhB dot), which emits in the red wavelength range. The Pp–RhB dots can be used as an ultrasensitive fluorescence probe for NO2−in vivo and show high selectivity and ultrasensitivity (detection limit: 2.0 × 10−11 M) for NO2−. The fluorescence of Pp–RhB dots is decreased (φ = 0.014) as a result of fast photoinduced electron transfer (PET) between the modulator (poly(o-phenylenediamine)) and the transducer (RhB), but the N–NO2 bonding mode prevents PET, causing the fluorescence emission to be enhanced (φ = 0.92). This probe effectively avoids the influence of auto-fluorescence in biological systems and gave positive results when tested in both aqueous solution and living cells.

This article presents a convenient polymerization route to synthesize poly(arylene ether)s containing N-arylenebenzimidazolyl groups. The novel polymers were prepared by a catalyst-free nucleophilic substitution reaction, in which the N–H and O–H sites were removed from 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazole with different activated difluorides containing carbonyl groups in sulfolane. The reaction was carried out in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate at 210°C. The structures of the polymers were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The results show good agreement with the proposed structure. All resulting polymers show essentially amorphous patterns. Moreover, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric measurements show that the polymers have high glass transition temperatures (>209°C), good thermostability, and high decomposition temperatures (>425°C). Furthermore, the polymers also exhibit excellent solubility in common organic solvents.

In this paper, a sol–gel made Ce–O–P catalyst (referred to as Ce–O–P-SG) was employed for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3, which was directly compared with two other Ce–O–P samples as synthesized via hydrothermal and coprecipitation routes (referred to as Ce–O–P-HT and Ce–O–P-CP, respectively). Experimental results revealed that the Ce–O–P-SG catalyst yielded a more than 90% NO conversion at 200 °C in the presence of 10 vol % H2O, whereas Ce–O–P-HT and Ce–O–P-CP catalysts only showed 50% and 20% NO conversions under the same conditions, respectively. After subjected to a series of characterization technologies (e.g., XRD, BET-BJH, XPS, NH3-TPD, py-IR, and H2-TPR), it was found that more enriched surface Ce(4+) species were formed except for the two main CePO4 phases (monazite and rhabdophane phases) of the Ce–O–P-SG catalyst compared to the other two samples, resulting in the increase of surficial active oxygen ions content. This could lead to an enhancement in surface acidity and redox capacity of the Ce–O–P-SG catalyst, effectively promoting the NH3–SCR activity of the catalyst. Further analyses on SO2 and H2O tolerance revealed that the Ce–O–P-SG possessed a higher sulfur resistance than the other two samples, which could be attributed to the SO2 trapping effect by the abundant active oxygen species over Ce–O–P-SG catalyst.

Two monomers o -( m -triphenyl)-terephthaloyl chloride (TPH1-COCl) and m -( m -triphenyl)- isophthaloyl chloride (TPH2-COCl) with bulky pendant groups were prepared, and they were polymerized with p -phenylenediamine (PPD) or copolymerized with PPD and terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) to prepare aromatic polyamides which were named TPH1 polymer and TPH2 polymer, respectively. The structures of the monomers with bulky pendant groups and the polymers were characterized by 1 H NMR and gel permeation chromatography . The resulting polymers are soluble in some organic solvents such as N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone. However, the solubility of the two series of polymers was different due to the different structures of the two monomers, and it is affected by the feeding ratio of the monomers. Both kinds of polymers have good thermal stabilities with 5% weight loss temperatures close to 500 °C. And glass transitions of some TPH2 polymers were observed. Most of these polyamides show lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) behaviors as evidenced by polarized light microscopy results. And the LLC properties are influenced by the structures, molecular weights , and concentrations of the polymers.

Hydrodynamic cavitation, a newly developed process intensification technique, has demonstrated immense potential for intensifying diverse physical and chemical processes. In this study, hydrodynamic cavitation was explored as an efficient method for the formation of sub-100 nm oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions with high stability. O/W emulsion with an average droplet size of 27 nm was successfully prepared. The average droplet size of O/W emulsions decreased with the increase of the inlet pressure, number of cavitation passes and surfactant concentration. The formed emulsion exhibited admirable physical stability during 8 months. Moreover, the hydrodynamic cavitation method can be generalized to fabricate large varieties of O/W emulsions, which showed great potential for large-scale formation of O/W emulsions with lower energy consumption.

A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), poly(pyrrole- co - o -phenylenediamine) (p(Py- co -OPD)), has been developed in order to construct an enrofloxacin (EF) sensor by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. The preparation conditions including the pH level, EF concentration, the number of CV cycles, extraction solution of the template and the incubation time were optimized. The performance of the MIP sensor was evaluated by square wave voltammetry (SWV). Under the optimal experimental conditions, the MIP sensor exhibited long time stability, good selectivity and a wide linear range of 1.0 × 10 − 4 –1.0 × 10 − 10 mol/L with a low detection limit of 6.57 × 10 − 13 mol/L towards EF. Moreover, the sensor was successfully used to determine the EF amount in the pharmaceutical samples with satisfactory results.

Although o -quinonemethide (6-methylene-2,4-cyclohexadien-1-one) has been proposed as a key intermediate in char formation during the pyrolysis of guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol), direct evidence of this (e.g., spectroscopic data) has not yet been provided. Using in situ FTIR spectroscopy, the pyrolysis of guaiacol was investigated from 30 °C to 630 °C at 40 °C/min. The IR profiles showed direct evidence of o -quinonemethide production at about 350 °C, which vanished rapidly at around 420 °C in the vapor phase, indicating char formation. In addition, at 400 °C, salicyl aldehyde was observed, which decomposed slowly at about 500 °C. In combination with the known products of guaiacol pyrolysis, these results allowed the major reaction pathways of guaiacol pyrolysis to be discerned. Density functional theory calculations were performed, and the results were found to be in good agreement with the experimentally obtained IR profiles. These findings provide guidance on how to suppress secondary reactions of guaiacol during lignin pyrolysis.

A series of HZSM-5 supported CrO x catalysts at different loadings were prepared by wet impregnation method for catalytic combustion of dichloromethane (DCM) in this paper. The catalytic activity tests indicated that both DCM conversion and product selectivity varied greatly with Cr doping contents. The sample at 2 wt% loading showed the highest DCM conversion, while the selectivity toward CO/CO 2 increased at an elevated CrO x loading. The characterization results revealed that the surface acidity and the chemical states of Cr were strongly affected by the doping content. The surface acidity would decline at an elevated Cr loading owing to the interactions between surface OH groups and chromium ions. And higher surface Cr(VI)/Cr(III) ratios could be observed on the catalysts at lower CrO x doping, leading to the improvement of reducibility. The activity and selectivity of DCM catalytic degradation were found to be highly depended on the balance of surface acidity and redox property. The increased surface acidity could result in the enhancement of dissociated adsorption of DCM, which are beneficial to the catalytic activity. However, higher surface acidity meant lower Cr loading, which might lead the adsorbed intermediates incompletely oxidized and the decrease in CO x selectivity due to the limit redox ability.

Fluorescent drugs and pyrimidine-indole scaffolds have been shown to have advantages in cancer treatment. Fluorescent antitumor drugs BF 3 - o, m, p- phenylenediamine pyrimidine-indole derivatives (PYB1, PYB2, and PYB3) were synthesized by linking pyrimidine and indole groups with aniline through a simple step and introducing BF 3 . The drugs exhibit promising antitumor activity and their fluorescent properties make them useful for imaging purposes. The optical properties of the three compounds have been investigated. All of them have fluorescent properties and compound PYB2 has good fluorescent properties. Additionally, the in vitro cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated against the human cancer cell line HeLa and the human normal cell line L02. The inhibition rates of HeLa cells treated with PYB1, PYB2, and PYB3 at a concentration of 19.2 μg/mL were 80.91%, 77.72%, and 65.94%, respectively. These results indicate a strong inhibitory effect on cancer cells. Further through the cell imaging experiment, we can see that PYB2 can enter the cell through the cell membrane through the fluorescence scattering diagram, which has good biocompatibility. In addition, the possible interactions between the compounds and Ras protein active sites were analyzed by molecular docking. The three compounds can bind well to Ras protein through hydrogen bonding. This study provides a basis for the development and modification of pyrimidine-indole fluorescent anticancer drugs. Compound PYB2 shows potential as a fluorescent anticancer drug. Graphical abstract

Coiled-coil domain containing 88C (CCDC88C) is a component of non-canonical Wnt signaling, and its dysregulation causes colorectal cancer metastasis. Dysregulated expression of CCDC88C was observed in lymph node metastatic tumor tissues of breast cancer. However, the role of CCDC88C in breast cancer metastasis remains unclear. To address this, the stable BT549 and SKBR3 cell lines with CCDC88C overexpression or knockdown were developed. Loss/gain-of-function experiments suggested that CCDC88C drove breast cancer cell motility in vitro and lung and liver metastasis in vivo. We found that CCDC88C led to c-JUN-induced transcription activation. Overlapping genes were identified from the genes modulated by CCDC88C and c-JUN. CEMIP , one of these overlapping genes, has been confirmed to confer breast cancer metastasis. We found that CCDC88C regulated CEMIP mRNA levels via c-JUN and it exerted pro-metastatic capabilities in a CEMIP-dependent manner. Moreover, we identified the CCDC88C as a substrate of polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 6 (GALNT6). GALNT6 was positively correlated with CCDC88C protein abundance in the normal breast and breast cancer tissues, indicating that GALNT6 might be associated with expression patterns of CCDC88C in breast cancer. Our data demonstrated that GALNT6 maintained CCDC88C stability by promoting its O-linked glycosylation, and the modification was critical for the pro-metastatic potential of CCDC88C. CCDC88C also could mediate the pro-metastatic potential of GALNT6 in breast cancer. Collectively, our findings uncover that CCDC88C may increase the risk of breast cancer metastasis and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Landfill leachate nanofiltration concentrates (LLNC) contain complex organic pollutants that are difficult to treat. This study developed a copper-doped attapulgite-chitosan composite catalyst (Cu@ATP-CTS) for efficient LLNC degradation in a Fenton-like system. The incorporation of attapulgite extended the effective pH range of Fenton reactions from 2 to 8, overcoming traditional limitations. Optimized via response surface methodology, the catalyst achieved 89.02% UV 254 removal, 73.86% COD removal, and 77.24% TOC removal within 115 min under optimal conditions. Copper played a crucial role in H₂O₂ activation, cycling between Cu 0 , Cu + , and Cu 2+ to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH), the key species driving pollutant degradation. The Cu@ATP-CTS catalyst also demonstrated strong stability and reusability over five cycles. This study provides a robust and sustainable method for LLNC treatment, offering significant potential for application in landfill leachate and wastewater management.
