Background: Ischemic stroke is mainly caused by cerebral artery thrombosis. This study investigated the role of glycine receptor beta subunit (GlyR-β) in the recovery from cerebral ischemia stroke/reperfusion. Methods: The oxygen glucose deprivation and recovery (OGD/R) bEnd3 cell model and the middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) mouse model were used in this study. Results: Expression of both the GlyR-β gene and vascular endothelial growth factor (Vegf), cell proliferation, and tube formation ability was decreased in bEnd3 cells after OGD/R, and was reversed by overexpression of GlyR-β. Neurological function, asindicated by Zea Longa scores, area of cerebral ischemia, and pathological changes were increased in mice after MCAO/R, and were ameliorated by overexpression of the glycine receptor beta (Glrb) gene at 24 h and 7 d after MCAO/R. Expression of GlyR-β and Gap-43 was decreased, and the expression of CD34, Vegf, and Bdnf, and cell growth as determined by a bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) assay, increased in the affected brain tissue of MCAO/R mice in a time-dependent manner. GlyR-β overexpression resulted in enhanced expression of CD34, Vegf, Growth association protein 43 (Gap-43), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) and cell growth in affected brain tissue of MCAO/R mice in a time-dependent manner. Conclusions: GlyR-β promoted potential angiogenesis and neurological regeneration in affected brain tissue, thus promoting recovery from cerebral ischemia stroke/reperfusion.

Currently, the both low electronic and ionic conductivity have seriously hindered the further application of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP). Nevertheless, traditional carbon materials modification only improves the electronic conductive property, rather than modifying the ionic conductivity. Herein, N-rich carbon resources of glycine (GLY) is introduced to synthesize NVP, which can act as reducing agent and morphology inducer to optimize NVP sample. Notably, GLY supplies favorable N-doped carbon skeleton, and this defective carbon structure benefits for the accelerated electronic conductivity. Besides, porous construction is established after introducing GLY. This unique morphology significantly improves the infiltration effects of electrolyte, thus providing more electrochemical active sites for Na + de-intercalation to improve the ionic conductivity. Meanwhile, porous framework supplies enough space for the shrinkage of crystal cells, so the stress-strain effect is highly restrained, which is demonstrated by Ex-situ XRD. The stabilized crystal and morphological structure of NVP@GLY-2 has been verified by after-cycled XRD/SEM/XPS. Highly improved kinetic characteristics are also investigated by In-situ EIS. Moreover, Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC) measurements indicate that NVP@GLY-2-based half and full cells also have excellent thermal safety properties. Comprehensively, NVP@GLY-2 reveals a high capacity of 119 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C. It reveals 84.5 and 71.2 mAh g −1 at 10 and 50 C, with capacity retention rates of 88.9 % and 85.8 % after 1000 cycles.

To reduce dependence on the expensive cofactor and effectively biotransform ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate, l -glutamine and glycine were found to enhance the content of intracellular NADH and the reductase activity. Adding the mixture of 200 mM of l -glutamine and 500 mM of glycine to the reaction media, a 1.67-fold of reductase activity was increased over the control without the addition of the two compounds. Moreover, β-cyclodextrin (0.4 mol β-cyclodextrin/mol ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate) was also added into this reaction media, and the biocatalytic activity of the whole-cell biocatalyst of Escherichia coli CCZU-K14 was increased by 1.34-fold than that without β-cyclodextrin. In this β-cyclodextrin–water media containing l -glutamine (200 mM) plus glycine (500 mM), ethyl ( S )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate (>99% ee ) could be obtained from 3000 mM ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate in the yield of 98.0% after 8 h. All the positive features demonstrate the potential applicability of the bioprocess for the large-scale production of ethyl ( S )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate.

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of N -acetyl cysteine (NAC) and glycine supplementation on growth performance, glutathione (GSH) synthesis, anti-oxidative and immune ability of Nile tilapia , Oreochromis niloticus . Four practical diets were formulated, control, control +0.2% NAC, control +0.5% glycine, control +0.2% NAC +0.5% glycine. Each diet was randomly assigned to quadruplicate groups of 30 fish (approximately 9.5 g). The weight gain and specific growth rate were significantly increased with the supplementation of NAC and glycine. While they had no effect on feed efficiency feed intake and survival. Glutathion peroxidase (GPx) was increased by NAC and γ-glutamine cysteine synthase (γ-GCS) in plasma were increased by glycine. After the feeding trail, fish were challenged by Streptococcus iniae , fish fed the diet supplemented with NAC obtained significantly higher survival rate after 72 h challenge test. NAC also decreased malonaldehyde (MDA) in liver, increased glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in plasma, up-regulated mRNA expression of Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and GPx in liver and headkidney. Dietary supplementation of glycine increased the anti-oxidative ability of tilapia through increase anti-oxidative enzyme activity (SOD, glutathione reductase , myeloperoxidase) and up-regulate anti-oxidative gene expression (SOD). Immune ability only enhanced by the supplementation of NAC through increased interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mRNA expression. These results clearly indicated that the supplementation of NAC and glycine can significantly improve the growth performance of tilapia, and NAC also enhance the anti-oxidative and immune capacity of tilapia, glycine could only enhance the anti-oxidative ability.

The oxidation of the Cu surface remains the most significant challenge of low-temperature Cu-Cu bonding technology. Schemes to achieve and maintain a high-quality Cu surface prior to bonding are therefore urgently needed. Co layer was used as a passivation layer and a simple wet treatment method using glycine was then proposed to remove surface oxides from Co metal. In this work, a novel simulated bonding methodology is proposed, which utilizes a two-step PVD Cu/Co on the PVD Co/Cu surface with a vacuum break, followed by annealing to simulate and investigate bonding mechanisms. The reliability of this methodology was first rigorously validated using Ar plasma activation as a benchmark, yielding simulated specific contact resistance results that closely align with actual bonding data. The simulation bonding methodology was employed to systematically optimize the process, after which the bonding mechanism was investigated. Consequently, chip-level bonding was successfully achieved at 230 °C, exhibiting an ultra-low specific contact resistance of 2.9 × 10 −8 Ω·cm 2 with a bonding area exceeding 99%. HRTEM and EDS analyses confirm that glycine treatment promotes direct Co-to-Co contact and uniform atomic interdiffusion. This methodology provides an efficient platform for investigating interfacial treatment processes and accelerating the development of advanced 3D integration technology.

The effect of ellagic acid on the formation of pyrazine, methylpyrazine, 2,3-methylpyrazine, 2,6-methylpyrazine, 2,5-methylpyrazine, and trimethylpyrazine in the xylose–glycine Maillard reaction model was researched. Ellagic acid could either inhibit or promote pyrazine formation, depending on its addition time point and the pH of the system. The addition of ellagic acid during the accumulation period of an Amadori compound inhibited pyrazine formation by capturing the Amadori compound in the xylose–glycine Maillard system and decreasing the pyrazine precursors. The inhibitory effect of ellagic acid on pyrazine formation got more obvious with an increase in the pH of the system. However, when ellagic acid was added at the beginning of the xylose and glycine Maillard system and when the oxidizing substances such as glyoxal and methylglyoxal were significantly formed in the Maillard system, its oxidation could promote the formation of pyrazines.

A novel Cu catalyst immobilized on glycine-functionalized poly(vinyl chloride) (Cu@Gly-PVC) was synthesized conveniently. The as-prepared catalyst was fully characterized by FTIR, SEM, EDS, elemental mapping, XPS, TGA, ICP, and EA analysis. The Cu(II) ions were uniformly distributed on the as-prepared Gly-PVC matrix via coordinated by carboxylic groups in a bidentate bridging pattern. This catalyst can be used at ppm levels in water for alkyne–azide cycloadditions (CuAAC) reactions, producing high yields of 1,2,3-triazoles. The present methodology offers several merits such as low catalyst loading, high catalytic activity, excellent yields, short reaction times, environmentally friendly reactions, simple operations, and compatibility of wide range of substrates. Furthermore, the catalyst can be easily isolated from the reaction mixture through simple filtration and retains remarkable reusability and catalytic activity even after four consecutive reaction cycles.

Amadori compounds (ACs) are the first stable product formed in the initial stage of the Maillard reaction and are widely present in processed foods. In addition to being widely known as the flavor precursors, ACs have attracted attention in recent years because many functions have been revealed, including ACE inhibition. In this work, we synthesized four ACs ( N -(1-Deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-glycine (Fru-Gly), N -(1-Deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-proline (Fru-Pro), N -(1-Deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-serine (Fru-Ser) and N -(1-Deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-threonine (Fru-Thr)) and characterized them using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS spectra. The four ACs’ angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities were verified for the first time, the IC 50 value range was 1.447–4.204 mmol/L, the Fru-Gly has the best effect. And all the four ACs showed good digestion stability, the content remained above 70% after 5 h of continuous digestion simulation. In order to reveal the mechanism of ACs inhibiting ACE, we selected Fru-Gly, beacuse of the best inhibitory effect, to carried out enzyme kinetics, circular dichroism spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, thermodynamics and molecular docking analysis. The results showed that Fru-Gly was a noncompetitive inhibitor, it spontaneously binds to the inactive site of ACE by hydrogen bond and causes the conformation change of ACE to inactivate it. The reaction is easier to proceed at low temperatures.

In this paper, Ag/TiO 2 composites with different Ag doping ratios (0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3%) were prepared by a one-pot solvothermal method without post calcination. Glycine promoted the formation of rod-like TiO 2 growing along the (101) plane and introduced Ag nanoparticles (NPS) onto the surface of TiO 2 . A series of characterization tests, including x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and desorption measurement, and electrochemical measurements were employed. The measurements confirmed that the formed Ag/TiO 2 nanorod composite with 1% Ag loading ratio (Ag/TiO 2 -1), consisting of length up to 22 nm and Ag nanoparticles (NPS) with a diameter of about 5.5 nm, had an appropriate energy band gap of 2.95 eV and a large specific surface area of 158.3 m 2 /g, which shows that the Ag/TiO 2 -1 has abundant photocatalytic active sites to increase its visible-light absorption ability. The Ag/TiO 2 -1 sample has the highest photocatalytic efficiency, with up to 95% and 98% degradation for tetracycline (TC) and Rhodamine B (RhB), respectively, in 25 min under simulated solar light. After the sixth cycle experiment, Ag/TiO 2 -1 still maintained 94% and 95% degradation of TC and RhB, respectively. The trapping active species experiment confirmed that the hole (h + ) and superoxide radical \(\left( { \cdot {\text{O}}_{2}^{ - } } \right)\) are the main active species. This work has practical significance for the simultaneous study of the photocatalysis of Ag/TiO 2 composites for dyes (RhB) and antibiotics (TC).

Elemental sulfur autotrophic partial denitrification (S0-PDN) can supply nitrite for anaerobic ammonium oxidation without an organic carbon requirement. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of high salinity on S0-PDN and investigate the feasibility of an enhanced strategy involving the addition of glycine betaine (GB). The results showed that high salinity inhibited S0-PDN by over 60% as salinity increased from low (0 and 5 g/L) to high (10 and 15 g/L) levels, even though Thiobacillus (65.9%–84.0%) was always the dominant genus. The reason might be the suppression of high salinity on the bioactivity. Surprisingly, the addition of GB (1 mmol/L) effectively enhanced the performance of S0-PDN under high salinity conditions (10 g/L), resulting in a 5.1-fold increase in the NO3–-N conversion efficiency and a 3.1-fold increase in the effluent NO2–-N concentration. Metagenomics analysis revealed that high salinity did not alter the dominant microbial composition. GB facilitated the recovery of the nitrate conversion capacity of sulfur autotrophic denitrifying bacteria with the up-regulation of nitrate reductase genes (by 18.1%) and Sox genes (by 21.4%). However, GB also stimulated the growth of heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria. Part of the nitrite produced in S0-PDN was reduced through heterotrophic denitrification with GB as an electron donor. Overall, the addition of GB was demonstrated as an effective approach to mitigate the inhibitory effects of high salinity on S0-PDN, which offers valuable theoretical support for its application in high-salinity wastewater treatment.

In this study, it was found that extra-added cysteine (Cys) became involved in volatile compound formation during the Maillard reaction of the glycine–ribose Amadori rearrangement product (GR–ARP). The priority of the Cys reaction with different α-dicarbonyls and its dependence on the Cys dosage were investigated. At the same concentrations of methylglyoxal (MGO) and glyoxal (GO), it was found that 2-acetylthiazole was the dominant product when the molar ratio of Cys to MGO was 1:1, while formation of pyrazines was improved when the Cys percentage increased. Cys preferentially reacted with MGO first rather than GO to exclusively generate 2-acetylthiazole at a high yield. The concentration of 2-acetylthiazole quickly increased up to a plateau and remained stable during further heat treatment. When MGO was totally consumed, remaining Cys began to react with GO through the predominant pathway where the keto form of carbonylcysteimine derived from Cys and GO was hydrolyzed to recover GO with cysteamine formation, whereas the hydrolysis reactivity of enolized carbonylcysteimine as the Strecker pathway for generation of pyrazines was relatively low. During the heat treatment of GR–ARP, the constantly lower ratios of α-dicarbonyls to Cys led to inhibited formation of 2-aminopropanal, which accounted for the decreased methylpyrazine yields.
