A large amount of spent LiFePO 4 (LFP) has been produced in recent years because it is one of the most widely used cathode materials for electric vehicles. The traditional hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical recycling methods are doubted because of the economic and environmental benefits; the direct regeneration method is considered a promising way to recycle spent LFP. However, the performance of regenerated LFP by direct recycling is not ideal due to the migration of Fe ions during cycling and irreversible phase transition caused by sluggish Li + diffusion. The key to addressing the challenge is to immobilize Fe atoms in the lattice and improve the Li + migration capability during cycling. In this work, spent LFP is regenerated by using environmentally friendly ethanol, and its cycling stability is promoted by elevating the d-band center of Fe atoms via construction of a heterogeneous interface between LFP and nitrogen-doped carbon. The Fe O bonding is strengthened and the migration of Fe ions during cycling is suppressed due to the elevated d-band center. The Li + diffusion kinetics in the regenerated LFP are improved, leading to an excellent reversibility of the phase transition. Therefore, the regenerated LFP exhibits an ultrastable cycling performance at a high rate of 10 C with ≈80% capacity retention after 1000 cycles.

The synthesis of d -isoascorbyl stearate from d -isoascorbic acid and stearic acid with immobilized lipase (Novozym ® 435) as catalyst was studied. Response surface methodology and Box-Behnken design with six variables and three levels were employed to evaluate the effects of processing conditions on the conversion of d -isoascorbic acid. The results confirmed that the response surface method and statistical analysis were proved to be useful in developing optimal conditions for d -isoascorbyl stearate synthesis. The optimum conditions were predicted as follows: reaction temperature 48 °C, reaction time 17.7 h, immobilized lipase amount 50.0 % (w/w, of d -isoascorbic acid), substrate molar ratio 9:1 (stearic acid to d -isoascorbic acid), d -isoascorbic acid concentration 0.14 mol/L (based on solvent), 4A molecular sieve addition 200 g/L (based on solvent), and the optimal conversion was 90.6 %. Through the kinetics model fitting of the esterification, it was considered that the esterification conformed to a Ping–Pong bi–bi kinetic model with d -isoascorbic acid inhibition, and the obtained kinetic constants showed that the inhibition of d -isoascorbic acid and the enzyme affinity to substrate were abate with the increase of the reaction temperature.

This research has made significant advancements in the field of high-value bio-oil production, specifically focusing on the synthesis of the rare sugar D-Allose. Notably, synthesizing D-Allose through cellulose pyrolysis has long been challenging due to its high synthetic difficulty, which has limited related studies. By employing a one-pot synthesis approach using Al x -Fe y nano-catalysts prepared through a unique cellulose pretreatment method, this experiment successfully achieved efficient generation of D-Allose during rapid pyrolysis. Systematic experimentation demonstrated that at 330 °C with the Al 1 -Fe 5 nano-catalyst, the yield of D-Allose from cellulose pyrolysis reached an impressive 50.69 %, accompanied by a detection of 14.35 % furfural in the bio-oil. This breakthrough not only significantly contributes to the high-value utilization of bio-oil but also provides robust support for further development in this area. Simultaneously, the success of this research extends beyond high-value bio-oil utilization and makes a substantial impact on both the scientific community and industry.

Background Prostate cancer (PCa), a prevalent malignancy worldwide, is frequently identified in advanced stages due to the absence of distinctive early symptoms, thereby culminating in the development of chemotherapy-induced drug resistance. Exploring novel resistance mechanisms and identifying new therapeutic agents can facilitate the advancement of more efficacious strategies for PCa treatment. Methods Bioinformatics analysis was employed to investigate the expression of FOXG1 in PCa tissues. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was utilized to validate FOXG1 mRNA expression levels in corresponding PCa cell lines. FOXG1 knockdown was performed, and cell proliferation was assessed using CCK-8 assays, while cell migration and invasion capabilities were evaluated through wound healing and Transwell assays. Western blot and Seahorse analyzer were used to measure oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) levels. Additionally, to explore potential approaches to alleviate PCa drug resistance, this study assessed the impact of biologically active saikosaponin-d (SSd) on PCa malignant progression and resistance by regulating FOXG1 expression. Results FOXG1 exhibited high expression in PCa tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of FOXG1 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of PCa cells, while FOXG1 overexpression had the opposite effect and promoted OXPHOS levels. The addition of an OXPHOS inhibitor prevented this outcome. Finally, SSd was shown to suppress FOXG1 expression and reverse docetaxel resistance in PCa cells through the OXPHOS pathway. Conclusion This work demonstrated that SSd mediated FOXG1 to reverse malignant progression and docetaxel resistance in PCa through OXPHOS.

Chiral impurity analysis presents significant challenges due to limitations of detection methods. Levodopa (L-Dopa) is the primary medication for Parkinson's disease treatment for over 50 years. However, the detection of its chiral impurity is difficult due to the similarity of polarity. This study presents a novel analytical method for the quantitative detection of trace amount of D-Dopa, as well as other three impurities. The method demonstrated excellent chromatographic resolution for D-Dopa and L-Dopa (resolution = 4.15) and achieved a derivatization efficiency of 97% using a chlorine-labeled chiral probe (D-BPCl) for chemical derivatization, followed by analysis with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on a conventional C18 column. Meanwhile, D-BPCl showed strong chiral selectivity on D-Dopa, and the ratio of mass spectrometric response for labeled D-Dopa to that of L-enantiomers was 2.78-fold under the same condition. The developed method demonstrates high sensitivity with detection limits of 7.88 μ g L -1 for D-Dopa, and 9.85 μ g L -1 for L-Dopa, with good linearity for every analyte (R 2 > 0.99), recoveries ranging from 94.1% to 106.8%, and high repeatability with relative standard deviation (RSD) values predominantly below 5%. Then the method was applied to analyze fifteen batches of levodopa tablets from five manufacturers. D-Dopa was successfully detected with the corresponding content ranging from 0.15% to 0.44%, which suggests that D-Dopa are more likely generated during the production process. The study underscores the significant safety concerns regarding Dopa-containing medications.

Using environment-friendly catalysts to convert biomass into compounds with high values is one of the central topics of green chemistry. In this work, [Ch][Pro] (cholinium as the cation and l-proline as the anion) ionic liquid was synthesized and applied as a model catalyst in the production of deoxyfructosazine (DOF) and fructosazine (FZ) from d-glucosamine (GlcNH2). The 13C NMR chemical shift titration experiments and the diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) measurements showed that, when the [Ch][Pro] interacted with GlcNH2, the l-proline anion ([Pro]−) played a major catalytic role instead of cholinium cation ([Ch]+). The effects of the reaction temperature and the amount of [Ch][Pro] on the product yields were surveyed. The experimental results showed that the highest DOF yield (33.78%) was obtained after 30 min at 100 °C when the molar ratio of [Ch][Pro]/GlcNH2 was 1. Moreover, in situ1H NMR and in situ13C NMR experiments were applied to monitor the reaction process with [Ch][Pro] as the catalyst. The reactive intermediate, dihydrofructosazine, was clearly detected by these in situ techniques. Accordingly, a possible reaction pathway was proposed. By applying other amino acids as the anions, we also prepared five other [Ch][AA] ionic liquids, and they showed different catalytic activities and selectivity in the GlcNH2 self-condensation reaction.

In this article, the in vitro cytotoxicity of platycodin D was evaluated in human PC-12, SGC-7901, BEL-7402, HeLa and A549 cancer cell lines. PC-12 cells were sensitive to platycodin D treatment, with an IC 50 value of 13.5 ± 1.2 μM. Morphological and comet assays showed that platycodin D effectively induced apoptosis in PC-12 cells. Platycodin D increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induced a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. Platycodin D induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase in the PC-12 cell line. Platycodin D can induce autophagy. In addition, platycodin D can down-regulate the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x, and up-regulate the levels of Bid protein in the PC-12 cells. The results demonstrated that platycodin D induced PC-12 cell apoptosis through a ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction pathway.

The dynamic variation of D-amino acids (D-AAs) in human saliva has great potential as the indicator for individual physiological states and disease progression; however, enantiospecific profiling of D-AAs is a great challenge. In this work, a nanoreactor based on mesoporous hydrogen-bonded organic framework (MHOF) has been fabricated for the enantiospecific profiling of D-AAs. The nanoreactor is prepared by using MHOFs as the scaffold to organize the biocatalytic cascade of D-AA oxidase (DAAO) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). In the meanwhile, the large, stable, and robust transport channels of MHOFs allow the unimpeded transport of the involved biocatalytic substrates. Once D-AA substrates efficiently transport into MHOFs, the chromogenic reactions of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and H 2 O 2 can be activated. So, using this MHOF nanoreactor, enantiospecific and visual detection of D-AAs can be achieved. Moreover, the stable nanoreactor can be operated in complex solution and utilized for the profiling of D-AA levels in saliva samples collected from gastric cancer patients, suggesting that D-AAs may be a powerful fingerprint for the diagnosis of gastric cancer. Therefore, the fabricated MHOF-based nanoreactor may provide an emerging tool for the enantiospecific profiling of D-AAs and supports the D-AA fingerprint as the indicator of gastric cancer diagnosis.

Graphene oxide (GO) had great potential in various applications especial biomedical materials. In this study, we improved the hemocompatibility especial hemolysis properties of GO nanosheets by grafting bovine serum albumin (BSA). The hemocompatibility of GO-g-BSA was improved. The hemolysis ratio of GO-g-BSA was lower than 0.2% and no visible hemoglobin release was observed. In a flowed condition, the interaction between GO and RBC was monitored real time by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and the hemolysis rates of eluted RBC solution was determined. The balance between the adsorption and degradation of RBC on the surface of GO was a linear process. The GO-g-BSA surface decreased the adhesion of RBC in a flowed condition, maintained the morphology of RBC and reduced the hemolysis rate in the most effective manner. The inert of BSA resisted GO interacting with the lipid bilayers of RBC and the negative charge on the surface of BSA repelled the approach of negative charged RBC. The excellent hemocompatibility of the BSA modified GO might confer its great potentials for various biomedical applications.

BACKGROUND The food industry has begun to develop foods fortified with unsaturated fatty acids; however, the susceptibility of pine nut oil to oxidation and other properties limits its use in food production. Researchers often inhibit the oxidation of oil by adding antioxidants. After the combination of polyphenols and proteins, the complex formed can improve or enhance the performance of the emulsion when it stabilizes the emulsion. Encapsulating, protecting, and controlling the release behavior of vitamin D (V D ) during digestion through an emulsion delivery system can effectively overcome limitations such as easy degradation during processing and storage. This research uses tannic acid, gallic acid, tea polyphenol, and vanillic acid to prepare Pickering emulsions, and the type of phenolic compound is explored by multi-dimensional characterization and the amount of emulsion. RESULTS The influence of traits, microstructure, stability, V D load application, and effect on the emulsion matrix's encapsulation rate and bioaccessibility is studied. A method was investigated to enhance the oxidative stability of whey protein isolate-stabilized emulsions by introducing phenol. Pickering emulsions could be obtained in the presence of phenol, while the type of phenol played a relatively important role, probably because the mechanism involved interactions between particles. Viscosity and creaming stability of emulsions increased with crosslinking of phenol in emulsions. In addition, the presence of phenol in emulsions significantly increased the bioaccessibility of encapsulated V D after in vitro digestion. CONCLUSION The method presented in this study was important for improving the oxidative stability of pine nut oil emulsions, expanding the application of pine nut oil in the food industry, and providing the theoretical and application basis of application and active substance emulsion delivery systems. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Liver failure is a serious hepatic dysfunction with high mortality. This work aimed to investigate the effect of a famous probiotic and drug, Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938, on liver failure in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were gavaged with 3 × 10 9 CFU of DSM 17938 for 7 days. d -galactosamine was intraperitoneally injected to induce acute liver failure on the eighth day. Samples were collected to determine the liver function, serum cytokines levels, terminal ileum and liver histology, gut microbiota, metabolome and transcriptome. Our results showed that pretreatment with DSM 17938 not only reduced the elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, IL-1α, IL-2, IL-18, M-CSF, and MIP-3α levels but also alleviated histological abnormalities of both the terminal ileum and liver induced by d -galactosamine. Additionally, DSM 17938 reduced d -galactosamine-induced enrichment of some taxa of gut Actinobacteria or Firmicutes, including abundant pathogens such as Actinomycetales , Coriobacteriaceae , Staphylococcaceae and Enterococcaceae . Furthermore, DSM 17938 reduced the d -galactosamine-induced increase in not only fecal metabolites such as trisaminol and lithocholic acid but also the transcription of liver inflammatory genes, such as Ccl2 , Ccl7 , Ccl11 , Ccl12 , Il6 , Il11 , Il20rb , Mmp3 and Mmp10 . Downregulation of retinol metabolism and PPAR signaling pathway as well as upregulation of viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor and central carbon metabolism in cancer signaling pathway were involved in the mechanism of L. reuteri DSM 17938 alleviating liver failure. Our findings suggested that DSM 17938 is a potential probiotic for the prevention or treatment of liver failure.

d-Tagatose, a functional sweetener, is commonly transformed from d-galactose by l-arabinose isomerase (l-AI). In this study, a novel type of biocatalyst, l-AI from Lactobacillus fermentum CGMCC2921 displayed on the spore surface of Bacillus subtilis 168, was developed for producing d-tagatose. The anchored l-AI, exhibiting the relatively high bioactivity, suggested that the surface display system using CotX as the anchoring protein was successfully constructed. The stability of the anchored l-AI was significantly improved. Specifically, the consolidation of thermal stability representing 87% of relative activity was retained even at 80 °C for 30 min, which remarkably favored the production of d-tagatose. Under the optimal conditions, the robust spores can convert 75% d-galactose (100 g/L) into d-tagatose after 24 h, and the conversion rate remained at 56% at the third cycle. Therefore, this biocatalysis system, which could express the target enzyme on the food-grade vector, was an alternative method for the value-added production of d-tagatose.
