Microplastic particles degraded from plastic litters are recognized as a global environmental pollutant, which can be transferred and enriched via the food chain to impact ecosystems and human health. A balanced gut microbiota contributes to human health through host–gut interactions, environmentally-driven factors such as microplastic exposure would disturb the gut bacteria and affect its functionality. Dietary compounds can remodel the compositions of gut microbes, and interact with bacteria exerting profound effects on host physiology. This study explored the effects of bayberry-derived anthocyanin cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) and microplastic polystyrene (PS) on the gut microbiome in C57BL/6 mice, especially the alterations in gut bacteria and its metabolites. Using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing, variations in gut bacterial composition and enrichment of functional pathways were found upon PS and C3G administration. Meanwhile, the differential metabolites and metabolic pathways were identified by metabolomic analysis. Importantly, colonic and fecal PS levels were found to be strongly correlated with key microbiota-derived metabolites, which are associated with xenobiotic metabolism via regulation of xenobiotics-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. These results may offer new insights regarding the protective effects of C3G against xenobiotic PS exposure and the roles of gut bacterial metabolites.

Plant polyphenol-inspired surface modification of membranes is helpful for oil–water separation. However, the preparation of this coating is time-consuming. Herein, we introduce a rapid synthesis of the TA-APTES coating by the addition of sodium periodate (SP). The surface chemical composition and morphology of the resultant TA-APTES hybrid coatings were characterized using SEM, ATR-FTIR, and XPS. The hydrophilicity and membrane performance were investigated by the water contact angle, pure water permeability, and oil rejection for an isooctane-in-water emulsion. The experimental findings revealed that the optimal microfiltration (MF) membrane (MF-TA-APTES-SP-0.05) displayed exceptional hydrophilicity and water permeability (9558 L m–2 h–1 bar–1). The membrane realized highly efficient separation with a permeability (4117 L m–2 h–1 bar–1) and rejection of oils (>99%). Furthermore, it possessed outstanding chemical stability and maintained underwater superoleophobicity even after exposure to harsh conditions. This simple and rapid strategy of developing hydrophilic coatings as a modifier for the poly(vinylidene fluoride) membranes has potential applications in oil–water separation and wastewater treatment.

Background Exposure to anesthesia leads to extensive neurodegeneration and long-term cognitive deficits in the developing brain. Caenorhabditis elegans also shows persistent behavioral changes during development after exposure to anesthetics. Clinical and rodent studies have confirmed that altered expression of the regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) in the nervous system is a factor contributing to neurodegenerative and psychological diseases. Evidence from preclinical studies has suggested that RGS controls drug-induced plasticity, including morphine tolerance and addiction. This study aimed to observe the effect of propofol exposure in the neurodevelopmental stage on learning and memory in the L4 stage and to study whether this effect is related to changes in rgs-3 expression. Methods Caenorhabditis elegans were exposed to propofol at the L1 stage, and learning and memory abilities were observed at the L4 stage. The expression of rgs-3 and the nuclear distribution of EGL-4 were determined to study the relevant mechanisms. Finally, RNA interference was performed on rgs-3 -expressing cells after propofol exposure. Then, we observed their learning and memory abilities. Results Propofol time- and dose-dependently impaired the learning capacity. Propofol induced a decline in non-associative and associative long-term memory, rgs-3 upregulation, and a failure of nuclear accumulation of EGL-4/PKG in AWC neurons. Inhibition of rgs-3 could alleviate the propofol-induced changes. Conclusion Inhibition of the expression of rgs-3 alleviated propofol-induced learning and memory deficits in Caenorhabditis elegans .

Since the grape skin and seed contain different phenolic substances, the proportion of the skin and seed will affect the wine mouthfeel during the wine making process. During the wine ageing, the interaction between flavanols with anthocyanins is an important reaction and considered linked to astringency. Hence, a major question is whether changing the skin-seed ratio will affect the polymerization of phenolic substances in wine, thus affecting the astringency of wine. To answer this, astringency of wine was studied by changing the content of grape skins and seeds by SDS-PAGE, fluorescence quenching and sensory taste. Besides, acetaldehyde-mediated condensation reaction between different flavan-3-ols and malvidin-3-glucoside were studied in model solution. The result showed that grape skins and seeds contribute differently to astringency sensation, mainly because of the difference in the type and content of flavanols and anthocyanins contained in them. In addition, acetaldehyde-induced flavan-3-ols: anthocyanin mixture presents a strong effect toward the interaction with BSA when compared to other phenolic combinations. Furthermore, it was observed that the protein-binding ability of the polyphenols in red wine has a strong correlation with the wine astringency intensity.

Colloidal cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) demonstrate supreme optical properties in the spectra region of infrared, red, and green. High-performance blue-emitting counterparts are still eagerly required for next-generation full-color displays. However, it is challenging to obtain efficient blue perovskite NCs, especially in a deep blue region with an emission wavelength of around 460 nm or shorter. Herein, calcium halide and ammonium ions are applied simultaneously to modify the CsPb(Br/Cl)3NCs in situ to reduce surface defects, finally remarkably enhancing the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) from 13% to 93% with an emission peak at 455 nm and the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates at (0.147, 0.030), which is close to the requirement of the Rec.2020 standard and also meets the requirement of blue emission in DCI-P3. Bright white emission and a wide color gamut are also achieved by combining the commercial red-emitting and green-emitting phosphors. The combination of time-resolved PL spectra and femtosecond transient absorption results discloses the reason for PLQY improvement as suppressing the nonradiative recombination.Keywords:CsPb(Br/Cl)3nanocrystals;surface passivation;blue emission;ammonium ion;calcium

Cadmium (Cd), a heavy metal, has harmful effects on animal and human health, and it can also obviously induce cell apoptosis. Quercetin (Que) is a flavonoid compound with antioxidant and other biological activities. To investigate the protective effect of Que on Cd-induced renal apoptosis in rats. 24 male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups. They were treated as follows: control group was administered orally with normal saline (10 ml/kg); Cd group was injected with 2 mg/kg CdCl2 intraperitoneally; Cd + Que group was injected with 2 mg/kg CdCl2 and intragastric administration of Que (100 mg/kg); Que group was administered orally with Que (100 mg/kg). The experimental results showed that the body weight of Cd-exposed rats significantly decreased and the kidney coefficient increased. In addition, Cd significantly increased the contents of Blood Urea Nitrogen, Creatinine and Uric acid. Cd also increased the glutathione and malondialdehyde contents in renal tissues. The pathological section showed that Cd can cause pathological damages such as narrow lumen and renal interstitial congestion. Cd-induced apoptosis of kidney, which could activate the mRNA and protein expression levels of Cyt-c, Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 were significantly increased. Conversely, Que significantly reduces kidney damage caused by Cd. Kidney pathological damage was alleviated by Que. Que inhibited Cd-induced apoptosis and decreased Cyt-c, Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 proteins and mRNA expression levels. To sum up, Cd can induce kidney injury and apoptosis of renal cells, while Que can reduce Cd-induced kidney damage by reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting apoptosis. These results provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of Que in the prevention and treatment of cadmium poisoning.

Selectively oxidizing alcohols to carbonyl compounds in an eco-friendly and sustainable way is of great importance. Instead of the noble catalytic system, we developed a novel catalytic system based on drilled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) assisted by Fe(NO3)3 that exhibits high activity for aerobic oxidation reactions. Interestingly, our studies demonstrated a direct relationship between the defects in the drilled CNTs and their activity. Catalytic evaluations revealed that the synergistic effect of drilled CNTs combined with Fe(NO3)3 resulted in unprecedented activity. The edge defects of the CNTs and electron transformation of Fe work synergistically to activate O2. Furthermore, the electronic transition from the drilled CNTs to Fe3+ confirmed the synergistic effect of the drilled CNTs/Fe(NO3)3. Thus, our studies not only demonstrate the use of drilled CNTs/Fe(NO3)3 in a sustainable catalytic system but also provide insight into the synergistic effect between these components for the universal oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds.

In this study, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) electrochemical sensor based on electrochemically modified graphite paper (EM-GP) was developed for the detection of 3-MCPD for the first time. To this end, Prussian blue (PB) was electrodeposited on EM-GP to yield uniformly distributed PtNPs. The successful preparation of Pt@PB/EM-GP was verified by SEM, Raman spectroscopy, XRD, XPS, and EDS. MIP was then prepared by CV electropolymerization with template molecules (3-MCPD), and density functional theory (DFT) at M06-2X/6–31 + g (d,p) level was used to calculate the molecular-level interaction between 3-MCPD and MIP. Under the optimum conditions, the dynamic linear range of the sensing platform varied from 1 × 10 -8 mol/L to 5 × 10 -5 mol/L with a detection limit estimated to 5 × 10 -9 mol/L (S/N = 3). Overall, these findings look promising for the construction of selective and quick detection platforms of 3-MCPD in food samples.

Rare earth (RE 3+ )-doped phosphors generally suffer from thermal quenching, in which their photoluminescence (PL) intensities decrease at high temperatures. Herein, we report a class of unique two-dimensional negative-thermal-expansion phosphor of Sc 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 :Yb/Er. By virtue of the reduced distances between sensitizers and emitters as well as confined energy migration with increasing the temperature, a 45-fold enhancement of green upconversion (UC) luminescence and a 450-fold enhancement of near-infrared downshifting (DS) luminescence of Er 3+ are achieved upon raising the temperature from 298 to 773 K. The thermally boosted UC and DS luminescence mechanism is systematically investigated through in situ temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray diffraction and PL dynamics. Moreover, the luminescence lifetime of 4 I 13/2 of Er 3+ in Sc 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 :Yb/Er displays a strong temperature dependence, enabling luminescence thermometry with the highest relative sensitivity of 12.3%/K at 298 K and low temperature uncertainty of 0.11 K at 623 K. These findings may gain a vital insight into the design of negative-thermal-expansion RE 3+ -doped phosphors for versatile applications.

In the current situation of energy shortages, saving energy and reducing consumption are undoubtedly valid methods to relieve the pressure on resources. CsPb X 3 ( X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskites as star inorganic materials have drawn growing attention owing to their unique properties, making them suitable for applications such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, photodetectors, or lasers. This work presents zinc oxide (ZnO) induced self-crystallized CsPb(Br/I) 3 perovskite with a 26% photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) prepared by the traditional melt-quenching method. Furthermore, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) (34–44 nm) can be regulated by the ZnO content. In addition, as a downconverter, CsPb(Br/I) 3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) realize a bright red backlight that covers ≈ 94% Rec. 2020 standards in the CIE 1931 color space and 126% of National Television System Committee (NTSC). This finding undoubtedly confirms an effective path for fabricating perovskite materials in a green, low-cost, and time-saving way, enriching the knowledge of glass crystallization mechanisms and promoting their applications in wide color gamut backlights.

For energetic materials (EMs), the key point of the present research is to improve the energetic property and reduce sensitivity. In this work, two new energetic complexes, Mn(atzc)2(H2O)2·2H2O (1) and Zn(atzc)2(H2O) (2) (Hatzc = 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylic acid), were synthesized by solvent evaporation and diffusion methods, respectively. The structural analyses illustrate that 1 and 2 exhibit zero-dimensional structural units, which are linked by hydrogen-bonding interactions to give three-dimensional supramolecular architectures. For complexes 1 and 2, the detonation velocities (D) are 10.4 and 10.2 km·s–1 and detonation pressures (P) are 48.7 and 48.6 GPa, respectively. They are higher than most of the reported EMs, which present prominent detonation characteristics. In addition, two complexes can accelerate the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate and exhibit excellent catalytic activity. Therefore, the two complexes can serve as a new class of promising EMs, which have potential application in the design of new high-efficiency solid catalysts.

Abstract An efficient synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted-1 H -pyrazoles was developed via cyclocondensation in 78–92% yields starting from α , β -unsaturated aldehydes/ketones with substituted phenylhydrazine using vitamin B 1 as a catalyst, and was characterized by HR-MS, FT-IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The reaction has simple operation, metal-free catalysis, acid or base free catalysis. As a green catalyst, vitamin B 1 was found to possess favorable catalytic activity and reusability for the condensation reaction. 1,3,5-trisubstituted-1 H -pyrazole shows from orange-red to cyan in different solvents when the electron withdrawing group is attached to acetophenone (taking compound 5i as an example). Compound 5i as a metal ion fluorescent probe has excellent selectivity for Ag + detection. The crystal structure of the compound 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1 H -pyrazole ( 5b ) in the orthorhombic space group Pca 21 was presented and formed racemic crystals.
