Herbal materials have both medicinal and commercial values. As such, accurate species and content identification and verification are necessary to ensure the safe and effective use for medical and commodity purposes. Herein, we introduce a two-step approach for systematic identification and quality evaluation of wild and introduced Anemone flaccida Fr. Schmidt (aka Di Wu) using DNA barcode and ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS). To begin, a precise and rapid identification method based on internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequence was developed to ensure the authenticity of ‘Di Wu’ species. Next, the major active components were fully characterized utilizing a targeted profile of oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins, which was established via UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. As a result, 34 oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins were identified or characterized in ‘Di Wu.’ The qualitative and relative quantitative analysis showed obvious differences between wild and introduced ‘Di Wu.’ Furthermore, dynamic changes in the contents of triterpenoid saponins throughout various harvesting periods were clearly explained and mid-April was identified as the appropriate harvest time. Moreover, results indicate that the contents of five main saponins (anhuienoside E, glycosideSt-I4a, hemsgiganoside B, flaccidoside II, and hederasaponin B) are more appropriate as a quality evaluation indicator than the current quality standard. The two-step approach provides a suitable strategy to evaluate the genuine quality of wild and introduced ‘Di Wu,’ and can be applied to the targeted analysis of other triterpenoid saponin analogues for quality evaluation.

The diamond enhanced (NiCoCrTi 0.5 Nb 0.5 )C x ( x = 3, 6, 12 wt.%) high-entropy alloy coatings were well-prepared by laser cladding, which are denoted as C 3 , C 6 and C 12 , respectively. The macroscopic morphology, phase, microstructure, hardness and wear resistance were investigated. The coatings without pores and cracks, are well-metallurgically bonded with the substrate. The width, melting depth and dilution rate of (NiCoCrTi 0.5 Nb 0.5 )C x coating decrease with the increase of diamond content. The coatings are mainly composed of BCC solid solution, (Ti,Nb)C and Cr 3 C 2 . The increase of diamond content results in the precipitation of (Ti,Nb)C and Cr 3 C 2 , and the coating with x = 12 wt.% retains more diamonds. The hardness of coatings is much higher than that of the substrate. As the diamond content increases, the average hardness of (NiCoCrTi 0.5 Nb 0.5 )C x coating increases first and then decreases. The abrasive wear occurs in each coating. The wear depth, roughness and wear rate decrease first and then increase as the diamond content increases. The C 6 coating with the better wear resistance produces a smooth worn surface, which indicates that C 6 coating can be fully applied to various tools, molds and mechanical parts.

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), as one of the two-dimensional (2D) materials, possesses many excellent properties like others. Herein, we report a novel self-healing epoxy filled with hBN. High compatibility between hBN and the epoxy matrix was obtained by the modification of hBN with silane coupling agent (Mi-Si). At the meantime, excellent self-healing behavior was achieved by retro Diels–Alder (r-DA) reaction between the maleimide functional group in the modified hBN (m-hBN-OH) and the added furfurylamine. Besides, the inadequate curing of epoxy led to the glass transition temperature (Tg), which is also seemed as the transition temperature for the shape memory of the epoxy, below the r-DA reaction temperature, and endowed the system with the shape memory-assisted self-healing properties. The m-hBN-OH was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR) spectra, X-ray diffraction experiments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and so on. The new m-hBN-OH modifier was prepared with the optimized Mi-Si/hBN-OH weight ratio of 3.0, which could both improve the thermal property and achieve better thermal conductivity. This designed m-hBN-OH/epoxy could actually show ideal self-healing properties due to the shape memory-assisted self-healing effect. The thermal conductivity of the neat epoxy resin and the m-hBN-OH/epoxy was 0.2156 W m −1 K −1 and 0.4358 W m −1 K −1 , respectively. As a novel material with efficient thermal conductivity, hBN made great contribution to the thermally induced shape memory and self-healing property. Systematic researches reveal that the composites are promising as long durable thermal interface materials, anti-scratch materials and so on.

A novel electrochemical sensor, platinum nanoparticles/graphene nanoplatelets/multi-walled carbon nanotubes/β-cyclodextrin composite (PtNPs-GNPs-MWCNTs-β-CD) modified carbon glass electrode (GCE), was fabricated and used for the sensitive detection of folic acid (FA). The PtNPs-GNPs-MWCNTs-β-CD nanocomposite was easily prepared with an ultrasound-assisted assembly method, and it was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electrochemical behavior of FA at PtNPs-GNPs-MWCNTs-β-CD/GCE was investigated in detail. Some key experimental parameters such as pH, amount of PtNPs-GNPs-MWCNTs-β-CD composite, and scan rate were optimized. A good linear relationship ( R 2 = 0.9942) between peak current of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and FA concentration in the range 0.02–0.50 mmol L −1 was observed at PtNPs-GNPs-MWCNTs-β-CD/GCE. The detection limit was 0.48 μmol L −1 (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). A recovery of 97.55–102.96% was obtained for the determination of FA in FA pills (containing 0.4 mg FA per pill) at PtNPs-GNPs-MWCNTs-β-CD/GCE, indicating that the modified electrode possessed relatively high sensitivity and stability for the determination of FA in real samples.

The flower-like CeO 2 /MoS 2 heterojunction was composed by self-assembly of MoS 2 nanoflowers and ultrafine CeO 2 nanoparticles through high-temperature nitrogen annealing. The crystal structure, morphology, specific surface area, chemical state, and optical properties of flower-like CeO 2 /MoS 2 heterostructure material were analyzed by XRD, SEM, (HR) TEM, BET, XPS, UV–Vis, and PL characterization methods. Flower-like CeO 2 /MoS 2 heterostructure material has a large specific surface area and strong adsorption capacity. In the photodegradation of methyl orange, the 20% CeO 2 /MoS 2 material has the best photocatalytic performance, the degradation efficiency of 20% CeO 2 –MoS 2 reaches 96.1% in 90 min and the reaction rate constant ( k ) is 0.0325 min −1 , far exceeding the single-component MoS 2 and single-component CeO 2 . After detailed analysis, we know that the large specific surface area, excellent visible light absorption, and rapid separation of electron–hole pairs help to effectively improve photocatalytic efficiency.

Due to its high capacity and low density, lithium metal is considered as one of the most promising anodes for next-generation lithium batteries. However, the problems of dendrite and volume change are the main obstacles to limit its further development. Therefore, it is of great significance to realize the stable plating and stripping of lithium metal. The stability of lithium metal can be improved by compositing lithium with conductor materials, but the effect of conductor materials on lithium composite anode needs to be further studied. Herein, ionic or electronic conductor powders are introduced into the interior of lithium metal by hot-melt mixed coating method; Li/Cu, Li/Zn, and Li/Li 3 N composite anodes are prepared; and their electrochemical performances in solid and liquid batteries are studied. The results show that plating and stripping of lithium in composite anodes will take place preferentially around electronic or ionic conductor, rather than around lithium itself. For liquid batteries, the introduction of electronic conductor in lithium composite anode will make the electric field distribution more uniform and thus make the lithium deposition more stable, while the introduction of ionic conductor in composite anodes can improve the electrochemical stability of composite anodes in solid-state batteries. The capacity of the Li/Cu-LFP battery was 42.5 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 10 °C, corresponding to the 77% retention of its initial capacity.

Abstract The impact of graphene oxide (GO) on normal cells has been widely investigated. However, much less is known on its effect on cancer cells. Herein, GO nanosheets were incorporated into electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) microfibers. The GO-incorporated CA (GO/CA) microfibers were combined with bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibers via in situ biosynthesis to obtain the nano-microfibrous scaffolds. The GO/CA–BC scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The GO/CA–BC scaffolds were used for breast cancer cell culture to evaluate the effect of GO on cancer cell behavior. Fluorescence images revealed large multicellular clusters on the surface of GO/CA–BC scaffolds. Compared to the bare CA–BC scaffold, the GO/CA–BC scaffolds not only showed enhanced mechanical properties but also improved cell proliferation. It is expected that the GO/CA–BC scaffolds would provide a suitable microenvironment for the culture of cancer cells which is necessary for drug screening and cell biology study. Graphic abstract

The aim of this study was to explore whether or not acetylresveratrol as a potential substitute for resveratrol dragged the toxic aldehyde to inhibit the mutation of mitochondrial DNA. The results revealed that the acetylresveratrol shifted ultraviolet peak of trans -crotonaldehyde from 316 to 311 nm. In mitochondria, the acetylresveratrol split the ultraviolet peak at 311 nm of trans -crotonaldehyde into 311 nm and 309 nm; the aldehyde Raman band of trans -crotonaldehyde was red shifted by the acetylresveratrol from 1689 to 1686 cm −1 with obvious band decline; Raman bands at 1149 cm −1 , 1168 cm −1 , and 1325 cm −1 of acetylresveratrol disappeared. In aldehyde dehydrogenase, the aldehyde Raman band of trans- crotonaldehyde was red shifted by the acetylresveratrol from 1689 to 1684 cm −1 with band decline; Raman bands at 1150 cm −1 , 1168 cm −1 , and 1324 cm −1 of acetylresveratrol declined. The weak acidic microenvironment was the best, for the acetylresveratrol dragged the toxic aldehyde of trans -crotonaldehyde. Compared with the resveratrol, the effect of the acetylresveratrol on the toxic aldehyde of trans -crotonaldehyde was very similar to that of the resveratrol. The acetylresveratrol is very suitable as a potential substitute for resveratrol dragged the toxic aldehyde to inhibit the mutation of mitochondrial DNA.
In mitochondria, the Raman band of the toxic –CH=O of trans- crotonaldehyde (TCA) dragged by the Acetyl-Res from 1689 to 1686 cm −1 with obvious band decline, while the Raman bands at 1149 cm −1 , 1168 cm −1 , and 1325 cm −1 of the Acetyl-Res disappeared, respectively. The Acetyl-Res is very suitable as a potential substitute, for the Res dragged the toxic –CH=O of TCA to inhibit the mutation of mitochondrial DNA for anticancer.

In this work, a novel visible light–driven heterostructure Ag 3 PO 4 /MIL-100(Fe) composite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized via facile chemical deposition method at room temperature. Especially when the mass ratio of Ag 3 PO 4 was 20% of MIL-100(Fe) (APM-2), it displayed the best photocatalytic performance, for which the degradation rate of tetracycline (TC) in conventional environment was 6.8 times higher than that of bare MIL-100(Fe). In addition, the effects of the initial concentration and pH of the solution on the degradation of tetracycline were also studied, and the results showed that the degradation of tetracycline was more favorable in a weakly alkaline environment. The excellent performance of Ag 3 PO 4 /MIL-100(Fe) composites was attributed to the fact that on the basis of having adequate photocatalytic active sites, modifying MIL-100(Fe) with an appropriate amount of Ag 3 PO 4 particles can more effectively separate photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Five cycles of experiments showed that APM-2 has good photostability. Lastly, it was proved through quenching experiments that •O 2 − , h + , and •OH all played corresponding roles in the degradation process, and a possible Z-scheme heterostructure photocatalytic degradation mechanism was proposed.

Lateral flow immunostrips were newly designed and a sensitive and rapid fluorometric method for the determination of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as a model target of small biomarker molecules was developed. The upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs, NaYF4:Yb/Er core, and polyacrylic acid (PAA)-modified shell, size ~ 39 nm, excitation wavelength = 980 nm; emission wavelength = 540 nm) were employed as fluorescence signal material. The 8-OHdG antibody (Ab) was taken as the recognition probe while UCNP-labeled Ab was taken as the signal probe. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was designed as carrier protein for 8-OHdG to form 8-OHdG-BSA conjugate as the capture probe. The lateral flow immunostrips were prepared by laminating a sample pad (glass fiber membrane), a test pad (nitrocellulose membrane), and adsorption pad (filter paper) on PVP backing. The capture probe was immobilized on the test zone while an IgG antibody taken as the control probe was immobilized on the control zone. When the signal probe and the sample were in sequence loaded on the sample pad, 8-OHdG analyte bound with the signal probe, and then the excess of the signal probe move along the strip and is collected by the capture probe on the test zone while the remnant signal probe is collected by the control probe on the control zone. The signal probe and capture probe were synthesized and characterized. The fluorescence intensity on the test zone was inversely proportional to the concentration of 8-OHdG for the quantitative determination while the fluorescence emission on the control zone was observed to validate the assay. The developed method showed a wide linear range from 0.10 to 10 nM, a quite low detection limit of 0.05 nM, small sample volume requirement (100 μL), short assay time (15 min), and good method reproducibility (RSD = 4.4%, nine immunostrips).
Schematic illustration of the configuration and measurement principle of lateral flow fluorescence immunostrip for 8-OHdG: (a) configuration; (b) preparation: load of capture probe (BSA-8-OHdG, 2 μL) on test zone; load of control probe (IgG Ab, 2 μL) on control zone; load of signal probe (UCNP-Ab, 16 μL) on sample pad; (c) measurement: load of sample (8-OHdG, 100 μL) on sample pad, collection, and measurement.

Ferulic acid is contained in some Chinese herbal medicines such as Ligusticum chuanxiong or Angelica sinensis. Studies have focused on the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain using ferulic acid. However, little is known about its pharmacokinetics after transdermal administration. The present research investigated the pharmacokinetic behavior of ferulic acid in rat plasma and skin microdialysate after ferulic acid transdermal or intragastric administration. Samples collected at predetermined time points were determined by a simple and sensitive HPLC-UV method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using non-compartmental analysis with DAS 2.0 software. The values of AUC 0- t and C max after intragastric administration (20 mg/kg) in plasma were 281.47 ± 46.76 min mg/L and 12.20 ± 2.46 mg/L, respectively. After emulsion transdermal administration (117 mg/kg, 35 mg/4 cm 2 ), the values of AUC 0- t and C max in plasma and skin microdialysate were 953.90 ± 175.30 min mg/L, 7630.47 ± 1410.33 min mg/L, 3.00 ± 0.61 mg/L, and 19.08 ± 4.39 mg/L, respectively. Here, we show a promising delivery system for ferulic acid that could replace traditional administration, and a better understanding of the transdermal pharmacokinetics of ferulic acid, which may be helpful for further clinical and laboratory studies.

Dual-emission carbon dots were synthesized by one-pot hydrothermal pyrolysis of citric acid and polyethyleneimine in the presence of rhodamine B at 160 °C for 5 h. The carbon dots have an average diameter of 2.51 nm with rhodamine moiety on their surface. Two emission bands centered at 447 and 581 nm are exhibited in their fluorescence spectra excited at 360 nm, and the former is sensitive while the latter is insensitive to Hg 2+ and pH. Glutathione (GSH) can recover the fluorescence quenched by Hg 2+ . Therefore, the dual-emission carbon dots were developed as a fluorescent ratiometric probe employing the ratio of the two intensities at 447 and 581 nm ( R I447/I581 ) as the signal for the determinations of pH, Hg 2+ , and GSH. In the range of 5.0–10.0, a good linear relationship between R I447/I581 and pH was built with a regression equation of R I447/I581 = 11.95–0.56 pH ( R 2 = 0.998). In the range from 0.0 to 8.0 μM, an excellent linear relationship between R I447/I581 and the concentration of Hg 2+ was obtained with a calibration equation of R I447/I581 = 6.2317–0.4458c ( R 2 = 0.995) and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.24 μM. In the range from 1.0 to 10.0 μM, a linear equation, R I447/I581 = 1.9133–0.4157c ( R 2 = 0.995), was calibrated between R I447/I581 and the concentration of glutathione with a LOD of 0.27 μM. The recoveries for the determinations of Hg 2+ and GSH in real samples were in the ranges of 94.6 to 103.8% and 94.3 to 104.2%, respectively.
