In this paper, a novel strategy integrating ultrasound (US) with a Fenton-like (zero-valent iron/EDTA/air, ZEA) process was proposed for the removal of the refractory and carcinogenic aromatic amines (AAs) in textile dyeing sludge for the first time. The operating condition was optimized as 1.08 W/cm 3 ultrasonic density, 15 g/L ZVI, and 1.0 mM EDTA, which could reach degradation efficiencies of 51.79% in US, 72.88% in ZEA, and 92.40% in US/ZEA system after 90-min reaction. Quenching experiments showed that electron transfer reactions generated by the iron ligands in ZEA brought about various reactive oxidative species (ROS), in which Fe (IV), O 2 ˙ − , and ˙OH dominated the degradation. US induced sludge disintegration by ultrasonic shear, proven by particle size decrease and supernatant organic matter upsurge, which helps ROS contact with those pollutants in the sludge cavities. Besides, US facilitated the iron redox cycle for oxygen activation by promoting the corrosion of ZVI and stripping considerable ferric ions from sludge iron oxides which were verified by SEM, XRF, and XPS.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have reached an impressive efficiency over 23%. One of its promising characteristics is the low-cost solution printability, especially for flexible solar cells. However, printing large area uniform electron transport layers on rough and soft plastic substrates without hysteresis is still a great challenge. Herein, we demonstrate slot-die printed high quality tin oxide films for high efficiency flexible PSCs. The inherent hysteresis induced by the tin oxide layer is suppressed using a universal potassium interfacial passivation strategy regardless of fabricating methods. Results show that the potassium cations, not the anions, facilitate the growth of perovskite grains, passivate the interface, and contribute to the enhanced efficiency and stability. The small size flexible PSCs achieve a high efficiency of 17.18% and large size (5 × 6 cm 2 ) flexible modules obtain an efficiency over 15%. This passivation strategy has shown great promise for pursuing high performance large area flexible PSCs.

A series of chemsensors ( 1 – 4 ) containing fluorobenzene group based on coumarin derivatives have been developed for the selective and sensitive detection of H 2 S. The advantages of the synthesized fluorescent probe (compound 1 ) were the low detection limit (4 × 10 −6 mol·L −1 ), good selectivity and high sensitivity which had been demonstrated through UV-vis, fluorescent titration experiments. Besides cytotoxicity test of compounds ( 1 and 2 ) was studied and the results indicated that compounds ( 1 and 2 ) showed almost no cytotoxicityat at a concentration of 150 μg·mL −1 . The interacted mechanism was the thiolysis reaction of dinitrophenyl ether which had been confirmed by fluorescence and HRMS titration experiment. In addition, probe 1 can also detect HS − selectively by naked eye in pure DMSO solvent.

Chromophore incorporated into the protein chains through residue modification on silk fibroin will be an important way to get new dyeing technology with improved color fastness. Herein, 1-aminoanthraquinone diazonium salt was prepared and used for the modified dyeing on tyrosine of silk fibroin. The silk after modified dyeing was measured by UV-Vis, FTIR, MS, 1 H-NMR, Data color, and other testing techniques. Interestingly, the resulting silk showed excellent rub and wash fastness. The enhanced color fastness is contributed by an electrophilic substitution reaction between 1- aminoanthraquinone diazonium salt and the ortho position of phenolic hydroxyl in tyrosine molecular. Moreover, the mechanical property of silk was protected effectively by the mild coupling modified dyeing, better than the traditional acid dyeing under high temperature for a long time. This facile strategy provides an alternative approach to silk dyeing and benefits the silk applications.

A novel electrochemical luminescence (ECL) aptamer biosensor via polymerase amplification is constructed for label-free detection of leukemia marker mRNA (miR-16). In order to achieve the ultrasensitive detection of the target mRNA, the cyclic target chain displacement polymerization of leukemia marker mRNA assisted with Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase is employed. The determination is carried out by recording the ECL emission of pyridine ruthenium (Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ) complexes embedded into the assistance DNA (ADNA) loaded on the nanogold surface, after the hybridization reaction between the probe DNA (PDNA) and the remaining sequence of the CP’s stem part, and the formation of a core-shell sun-like structure. The mercapto-modified capture DNA (CP) is immobilized on the surface of a magneto-controlled glassy carbon electrode by Au-S bond. The CP is opened and hybridized with the target mRNA to form double-stranded DNA. In the presence of polymerase, primer DNA, and bases (dNTPs), the primer chain gets access to its complementary sequence of the stem part and then triggers a polymerization of the DNA strand, leading to the release of mRNA and starting the next polymerization cycle. Finally, the composite of PDNA-covered and ADNA-covered (embedded with Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ) gold nanoparticles (hereafter called AuNPs@(PDNA+ADNA-Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ) is added, and the ECL intensity is recorded. Because of the polymerization cycle and the aggregation of the illuminator of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ , the detected signal is amplified significantly. The results showed that the corresponding ECL signal has a good linear relationship with a logarithm of target mRNA concentration in the range of 1 × 10 −16 to 1 × 10 −7 mol/L, with a detection limit of 4.3 × 10 −17 mol/L. The mRNA spiked in the human serum sample is determined, and the recoveries are from 97.2 to 102.0%. This sensor demonstrates good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

The authors describe a carbon dot-based fluorescent probe for biothiols. Green emissive carbon dots (g-CDs; with λ ex /λ em maxima of 407/505 nm) were synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method starting from 3-diethylaminophenol. They were then covalently functionalized with 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride to afford 2,4-Dinitrobenzenesulfonate-functionalized CDs (g-CD-DNBS) as a nanoprobe for biothiols. The fluorescence of the g-CD-DNBS is quite weak. Upon addition of biothiols, the DNBS group of the probe is removed by thiol groups. This results in gradual restoration of the green fluorescence. The nanoprobe exhibits high selectivity for biothiols over other amino acids and biological molecules. The detection limits for cysteine, homocysteine and glutathione are 69, 74 and 69 nM (S/ N = 3), respectively. The probe was applied to image biothiols in SMMC-7721 cells.

A method is presented for electrochemiluminescent (ECL) detection of the food additive curcumin via an energy transfer strategy and by using luminol-doped silica nanoparticles (luminol-NPs). The ECL emission of the luminol-NPs (peaking at 425 nm) is reduced in the presence of curcumin due to spectral overlap. The assay can be performed within 1 min, response is linear in the 0.1 to 100 µM curcumin concentration range, and the limit of detection is 32 nM. The method is selective over many ions, adenosine triphosphate, ascorbic acid, cysteine and folic acid. It was successfully applied to the determination of curcumin in spiked human serum and urine. The average recoveries range from 99.0 to 102.6%.
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) “turn-off” detection of curcumin at levels as low as 32 nM via energy transfer using luminol-doped silica nanoparticles. No hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is used in ECL detection which makes the luminol-NPs ECL system more stable than the conventional luminol-H 2 O 2 ECL system.

Rapid, highly sensitive detection of tau protein and other neurodegenerative biomarkers remains a significant hurdle for diagnostic tests for Alzheimer's disease. In this work, we developed a novel tyrosinase (TYR)-induced tau aptamer–tau–tau antibody (anti-tau) sandwich fluorescence immunoassay to detect tau protein that used dopamine (DA)-functionalized CuInS 2 /ZnS quantum dots as the fluorophore. CuInS 2 /ZnS core/shell quantum dots with high luminescence, low toxicity, and excellent biocompatibility were successfully fabricated and decorated with DA through amide conjugation. Meanwhile, TYR was conjugated with anti-tau by a click reaction. When DA-functionalized CuInS 2 /ZnS quantum dots were added to the sandwich system, TYR catalyzed the transformation of DA to dopamine quinone, which acted as an effective electron acceptor and triggered fluorescence quenching. The fluorescence intensity of the immunoassay based on DA-functionalized CuInS 2 /ZnS quantum dots shows good performance in terms of linearity with the logarithm of tau protein concentration, with a linear concentration range from 10 pM to 200 nM. This work is the first to use a TYR-induced fluorescence immunoassay for the rapid detection of tau protein, paving a new way for the detection of disease biomarkers.

A surface-graphenized pencil graphite electrode (SGPGE) served as an amperometric sensor for dopamine (DA). It was prepared through a one-step in-situ electrochemical graphene delamination. The graphite particles on the outer surface of the pencil graphite electrode (PGE) were delaminated by controlling the electrochemical delaminating conditions such as the applied anodic voltage and polarization duration, as well as the kind of electrolytes. The best conditions were identified by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectra, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). As a result, the electrode was endowed with an optimum combination of graphene delamination efficiency and electrochemical activity. The electrochemical treatment activates the surface sensing sites and improves the sensing performance. The NaOH-teated anodically graphenized electrode was used to sense dopamine by DPV. The best oxidation voltage of dopamine is at around 0.17 V (vs. SCE). The electrode respondsy to dopamine in the ranges of 0.15 to 45 μM, the detection limit is 8.2 nM (S/ N = 3), and the sensitivity is 20.81 μA μM −1 cm −2 . In real human urine samples, the sensor exhibited detection recoveries of 97.4–98.8% and low relative standard deviations of 3.49–3.92%.

Osteoarthritis (OA), a common degenerative disease affecting articular cartilage, is caused by multiple factors, and currently, there are few approaches to effectively delay its progression. This study aimed to evaluate whether a strontium compound (in the form of strontium gluconate, Glu-Sr) could reduce OA pathology severity in osteoarthritic rat models by directly targeting chondrocytes, including catabolic/anabolic activities and/or chondrogenic differentiation. Glu-Sr was administered to OA rats by oral gavage beginning during OA induction and continuing for 8 weeks. Glu-Sr treatment was found to significantly reduce cartilage degeneration and delay OA progression. Further examination showed that collagen II, Sox9, and aggrecan (ACAN) genes were up-regulated whereas IL-1β was down-regulated in chondrocytes isolated from Glu-Sr-treated rats. Glu-Sr also antagonized the catabolic effects of IL-1β on chondrocytes. Furthermore, Glu-Sr was shown to promote the chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), possibly through promoting chondrogenic gene expression, including CTGF and FGF1, as revealed by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). These results suggest that systemic administration of Glu-Sr may be useful in prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of chronic cartilage degradation through affecting multiple steps from chondrogenic differentiation of progenitors to matrix formation in mature chondrocytes.

The development of excellent dye adsorbent with high adsorption capacity and good separation function is imperative to clean the wastewater. Herein, an innovative magnetic Fe–Fe 2 O 3 @poly(cyclotriphosphazene- co -polyethyleneimine) (named as Fe–Fe 2 O 3 @PCP) composite was fabricated through a facile copolymerization between hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and polyethyleneimine in the presence of Fe–Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles. With the help of scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope and vibrating sample magnetometer, the microstructure of the resulting magnetic Fe–Fe 2 O 3 @PCP composite was characterized. Then, the adsorption performance of magnetic Fe–Fe 2 O 3 @PCP composite was evaluated by removing anionic dye acid chrome blue K (ACBK) from aqueous solution. The effects of contact time, initial solution pH and temperature on the adsorption of ACBK onto magnetic Fe–Fe 2 O 3 @PCP composite were systematically studied. The kinetics, isotherms and mechanism of the adsorption process were analyzed. Results show that the maximum adsorption capacity of the magnetic Fe–Fe 2 O 3 @PCP toward ACBK dye could be up to 260 mg g −1 at 25 °C in neutral solution. The adsorption kinetics follows both the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Weber’s intraparticle diffusion model well. And the Freundlich isotherm model can nicely fit the adsorption equilibrium data. The electrostatic attraction between Fe–Fe 2 O 3 @PCP and ACBK plays a dominant role in the adsorption process. Moreover, the magnetic Fe–Fe 2 O 3 @PCP composite owns a high saturation magnetization of 30.1 emu g −1 , rendering it rapid magnetic separability and good reusability. After five adsorption–desorption cycles, the magnetic composite still kept 75% of removal efficiency with the adsorption capacity of 195 mg g −1 . The excellent adsorption capacity and good magnetic separability make the magnetic Fe–Fe 2 O 3 @PCP composite a promising adsorbent for efficient removal of anionic dyes including ACBK from contaminated wastewater.

The marketability of blueberries over long distances has been limited because of their highly perishability. To prolong the postharvest shelf life and conserve quality properties of blueberry, various alternatives have been evaluated. We studied the influence of gum arabic (GA) alone or GA enhanced with African baobab (AB) fruit extract on blueberry during cold storage (4 °C) for 21 days. Physico-chemical properties (e.g. pH, color, firmness, and weight loss), microbial decay, antioxidant properties, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activity were investigated. The fruit treated with GA combined AB indicated a significant delay in microbial decay, firmness loss, weight loss, and color change. The treatments on blueberries resulted in better preservation of total phenols and total anthocyanins delayed the increase in total soluble solids as compared to the control. The coatings lowered the activities of PPO and POD enzymes and delayed microbial decay in coated blueberry during 21 days of storage.
