A competitive fluorescence immunoassay for the quantitative detection of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline (IQ) in pan-fried meat patties was developed, using magnetic nanoparticles coupled with coating antigen as the capture probe and anti-IQ antibody coupled with NaYF4: Yb, Er upconversion nanoparticles as the signal probe. Under optimal conditionals, the wide detection range for IQ in phosphate buffer saline is from 0.01 to 100 μg·L−1(R2= 0.991) with a detection limit of 0.007 μg·L−1. This proposed method has been applied to detect IQ in two different types of pan-fried meat patties at varying frying times, and the IQ content in chicken patties and fish patties are 2.11–3.47 μg·kg−1and 1.35–2.85 μg·kg−1, respectively. These results are consistent with that of the ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. In summary, this method can serve as a sensitive and specific test tool for the determination of IQ in processed meat.Keywords:2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline;upconversion nanoparticles;magnetic separation;fluorescence immunoassay;heat processed meat

The aim of the present work was to evaluate different structures of flavonoids interfering with the cytotoxicity of heterocyclic amines (HCA). Eight flavonoids with similar structure including myricetin, rutin, fisetin, quercetin, myricetrin, quercetrin, kaempferol, and galangin were coincubated with 2-amino-4-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinolone (IQ) respectively to determine the cytotoxicity. The results revealed that IQ at low doses showed no cytotoxicity; however, in the presence of myricetin and rutin, the cytotoxicity significantly elevated. It seems that C-3′, C-4′, C-5′, and C-5 hydroxyl substituents on the flavonoid skeleton of B ring play important role in the increasing cytotoxicity induced by IQ in HepG2 cells. Interestingly, the data obtained from the present study revealed an unexpected adverse effect of the supposed beneficial food ingredient myricetin, which appears to be able to increase the cytotoxicity of the procarcinogen HCA.

Functional superamphiphobic coatings have garnered massive concern due to their promising application in oil transportation and anti-contamination, which call for the requirements of mechanical stability and flame retardancy. Herein, a novel superamphiphobic PVT/F-APP-TiO 2 hybrid coating with excellent mechanical stability and flame retardancy was fabricated using fluorinated PVT polymer adhesive and highly fluorinated ammonium polyphosphate/TiO 2 (F-APP-TiO 2 ) particles with hierarchical core-shell structure. The synthetic mechanism, surface structure, chemical composition of the F-APP-TiO 2 particles were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The PVT/F-APP-TiO 2 coatings exhibited excellent superamphiphobicity, anticontamination and self-cleaning property. Good mechanical stability of PVT/F-APP-TiO 2 coatings was verified by mechical damage tests including sand paper abrasion, tape-peeling and water-impacting tests. Further, the PVT/F-APP-TiO 2 coatings showed excellent flame retardancy and self-recovery ability. The PVT/F-APP-TiO 2 coatings with versatile abilities exhibited promising potential to achieve numerous applications in water-oil proof, fireproof and oil transportation materials.

An electrochemical sensor demonstrating exceptional sensitivity was constructed for bisphenol F analysis. Carbon nanocages and Prussian blue nanocubes were synthesized and then applied to modify a glassy carbon electrode layer by layer, creating the unique sensing platform. The combination of carbon nanocages and Prussian blue nanocubes greatly improved the charge transfer rate and offered a substantial surface area for bisphenol F adsorption. Exhibiting outstanding electrocatalytic performance for bisphenol F oxidation, the as-proposed electrode provided a broad linear range from 0.1 to 500 μM and a low detection limit of 0.03 μM (S/N = 3). The sensor manifested strong selectivity, showing minimal interference from typical coexisting substances. Its stability and reproducibility were evaluated, and the results were satisfactory. The sensor effectively determined bisphenol F in real samples, achieving recoveries between 95.7 % and 98.4 %. This study offers a promising method for the sensitive and precise detection of bisphenol F in environmental samples, significantly contributing to environmental monitoring.

Abstract Environmental bisphenol F (BPF) has a cyclic endocrine disruption effect, seriously threatening animal and human health. It is frequently detected in environmental samples worldwide. For BPF remediation, biological methods are more environmentally friendly than physicochemical methods. White-rot fungi have been increasingly studied due to their potential capability to degrade environmental pollutants. Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 has been shown to degrade BPF by ligninolytic enzymes under ligninolytic conditions. In the present study, degradation of BPF under non-ligninolytic conditions (no production of ligninolytic enzymes) was investigated. Our results showed that BPF could be completely removed after 7-d incubation. A metabolite of BPF, 4,4’-dihydroxybenzophenone (DHBP) was identified by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, and DHBP was further degraded by this fungus to form 4-hydroxyphenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (HPHB). DHBP and HPHB were the intermediate metabolites of BPF and would be further degraded by P. sordida YK-624. We also found that cytochrome P450s played an important role in BPF degradation. Additionally, transcriptomic analysis further supported the involvement of these enzymes in the action of BPF degradation. Therefore, BPF is transformed to DHBP and then to HPHB likely oxidized by cytochrome P450s in P. sordida YK-624. Furthermore, the toxicological studies demonstrated that the order of endocrine-disrupting activity for BPF and its metabolites was HPHB > BPF > DHBP. Key points
• White-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 could degrade BPF.
• Cytochrome P450s were involved in the BPF degradation.
• The order of endocrine disrupting activity was: HPHB > BPF > DHBP.

In order to achieve excellent visible light photoactivity of TiO 2 , it is still urgently required to extend their optical absorption ability and improve the potential of charge separation and migration. Here we synthesized highly efficient visible-light-active catalysts F-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 via a one-step-calcination method. Due to the synergic effect of ≡Ti−F, ≡Ti:F−H and the heterojunction, the obtained catalysts possess promising properties as highly efficient separation and migration of photoelectron-hole pairs. The prepared F-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction can be successfully applied to degrade the widely used flame retardants and antibiotics. More than 95% of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) was decomposed after light illumination for 120 min, and 98% of sulfamethazine (SMZ) was degraded for 60 min by F-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 . Furthermore, a reasonable catalytic mechanism for the F-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 catalysts was proposed. It could be seen that the active species •O 2 − , •OH, and h + played important roles in the photocatalytic process under visible light illumination.

The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by antagonistic microbes have great antifungal potential against soil-borne fungal pathogens. The VOCs produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa strain WR-2 in the presence of root exudates and organic fertilizer were identified and their effects on the growth and spore germination of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum were evaluated. The VOCs produced by WR-2 inhibited the growth of F. oxysporum by 38%, 36% and 40% in agar medium, sterilized soil and natural soil, respectively. This inhibitory effect was increased to 60%, 58% and 64% with the addition of organic fertilizer in agar medium, sterilized soil and natural soil, respectively. The addition of root exudates did not affect the production of antifungal VOCs by WR-2. The VOCs produced by WR-2 completely inhibited the germination of F. oxysporum spores. Out of 42 identified VOCs, seven VOCs; benzothiazole, benzaldehyde, undecanal, dodecanal, hexadecanal, 2-tridecanone and phenol were found to inhibit the growth of F. oxysporum . The results of these experiments suggest another significance of using organic fertilizer as a carrier material with the biocontrol agents to control soil-borne fungal pathogens.

Proton exchange membranes prepared from poly(aryl sulfone)s still need to overcome the drawbacks of chemical stability in acidic environments and low electrical conductivity due to water loss at high temperatures. Herein, we synthesized densely sulfonated poly(aryl sulfone) proton exchange membranes containing a 1H-imidazo[4,5-F][1,10]-phenanthroline moiety on the side chain with a metal ion coordination function. The coordination of 1H-imidazo[4,5-F][1,10]-phenanthroline groups to metal ions can effectively prevent the formation of •OH radicals from homolytic cleavage of H2O2 catalyzed by metal ions. Since the conditions for the continuous formation of •OH radicals are fundamentally eliminated, the antioxidant stability of the membrane material is greatly improved. Mesoscale microscopic simulations showed that 1H-imidazo[4,5-F][1,10]-phenanthroline has the effect of inducing phase separation, endowing the proton exchange membrane with a larger hydrophilic structural domain and possibly constructing a better connected channel for proton transport. Notably, these membranes can efficiently capture the Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions to form stable [Fe(phen)3]2+ and [Fe(phen)3]3+ interconnection points, respectively, which could not only enforce the water retention and the mechanical properties of the membranes but also serve as a catalyzed point to prevent H2O2 from undergoing homolytic cleavage and forming •OH radicals.

The loss of grains in the production chain caused huge waste worldwide, and the control of plant pathogenic fungi during harvest time is a critical solution to mitigate the damage. Eugenol, an important component of clove oil ( Syzygium aromaticum L.), has antioxidant, antifungal, and other activities. In this study, the unstable eugenol was incorporated into the nanoscale γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (γ-CD-MOF), a cubic porous structure synthesized by vapor diffusion method. The investigation of morphologies, functional groups, crystalline structures and weight losing behaviors demonstrated the inclusion complex prepared from γ-CD-MOF and eugenol (CMFE). Compared with the γ-CD loaded with eugenol (CE), CMFE exhibited an improved loading rate with 4.06 % ( w/w ). And CMFE enhanced the stability of its inner eugenol against degradation by light and air. Moreover, the CMFE demonstrated a significant anti -F. graminearum activity both in the medium and on the wheat grains. The inhibition rate reached 83.8 % at 8 mg/mL in vitro , while the growth of the hyphae was effectively restrained at 4 mg/g in vivo . CMFE could damage the mycelial cell wall and trigger intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, thus exhibiting its anti- F. graminearum activity. Our results showed that the biocompatible CMFE would be an environment-friendly substitute to chemical fungicides for the prevention of fungal contamination caused by F. graminearum .

Bisphenol F (BPF), one of the major substitutes for bisphenol A (BPA), is increasingly used in pharmaceuticals, food packaging, and chemical manufacturing. Emerging evidence suggests its potential neuropsychiatric risks. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Thus, the present study was performed to investigate the roles of the kynurenine (KYN) pathway in BPF induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, especially the keys roles of the toxic metabolite 3-hydroxykynurenine (3−HK). The mice were administrated with BPF (10, 40, 160 μg/kg/day) for 30 consecutive days, and the behaviors as well as the changes of the KYN pathway were examined. Noteworthily, even low-dose of BPF exposure (40 μg/kg/day) elicited pronounced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, molecularly shown as the synaptic marker proteins (PSD95, SYN) and dendritic spine proteins (Drebrin) loss in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, along with impaired synaptic connection. The UHPLC-MS/MS metabolomic profiling revealed the aberrant metabolism of the KYN pathway, as shown by the elevated neurotoxic metabolite 3-HK and decreased neuroprotective metabolite kynurenic acid (KynA). Mechanistic analyses demonstrated that the 3-HK rate-limiting enzyme KMO was upregulated while the KynA rate-limiting enzyme KAT2 was downregulated in mouse brain. Notably, pharmalogical inhibition of KMO (GSK180) or blockage kynurenine generation with the TDO2 inhibitor (680C91) substantially ameliorated the BPF induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors and synaptic impairments. Collectively, the present study unravels a previously unrecognized the BPF induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in mice via KMO and 3-HK increase. Therefore, targeting the KMO may provide novel interventive strategy for BPF induced neurobehavioral disorders.

This work focuses on the improvement on the electrochemical performances of Fe–Mn based oxides as cathode for sodium ion batteries by doping Cu and F elements. The synthesized doped-compounds exhibit extremely excellent electrochemical performance. For instance, it's initial discharge capacity can reach 195.6 mAh g −1 at a current density of 10 mA g −1 . Meanwhile, after 200 cycles at 200 mA g −1 , it still remains a capacity of 124.1 mAh g −1 , 87.8% of the initial capacity of 141.3 mAh g −1 . More significantly, it can deliver a high capacity of 106.4 mAh g −1 at a high current density of 1000 mA g −1 . It is found that F/Cu co-substitution obviously improve the discharge capacity and cycle stability of Fe–Mn based oxide especially at higher current densities. Doping Cu and F elements has influence on the structure and morphology of the material, which results in the improvement of charge-discharge characteristics.

Microgravity induces observed bone loss in space flight, and reduced osteogenesis of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) partly contributes to this phenomenon. Abnormal regulation or functioning of the actin cytoskeleton induced by microgravity may cause the inhibited osteogenesis of BMSCs, but the underlying mechanism remains obscure. In this study, we demonstrated that actin cytoskeletal changes regulate nuclear aggregation of the transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), which is indispensable for osteogenesis of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Moreover, we utilized a clinostat to model simulated microgravity (SMG) and demonstrated that SMG obviously depolymerized F-actin and hindered TAZ nuclear translocation. Interestingly, stabilizing the actin cytoskeleton induced by Jasplakinolide (Jasp) significantly rescued TAZ nuclear translocation and recovered the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in SMG, independently of large tumor suppressor 1(LATS1, an upstream kinase of TAZ). Furthermore, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) also significantly recovered the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in SMG through the F-actin-TAZ pathway. Taken together, we propose that the depolymerized actin cytoskeleton inhibits osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through impeding nuclear aggregation of TAZ, which provides a novel connection between F-actin cytoskeleton and osteogenesis of BMSCs and has important implications in bone loss caused by microgravity.
