Linalool and geraniol are the primary components of rose oil, palmarosa oil, and citronella oil and many other essential oils, and two important compounds used in the flavour and fragrance, cosmetic or pharmaceutical industries. Phase equilibria (LLE, VLE, solubility, etc. ) and related thermodynamic properties of a mixture are essential in the processes design and control of mass transfer process. In this work, experimental (liquid + liquid) equilibria data of the systems (water + 1-propanl + linalool) and (water + 1-propanl + geraniol) are presented. The (liquid + liquid) equilibria of both systems were determined with a tie-line method at T = (283.15, 298.15 and 313.15) K under atmospheric pressure. The well-known Hand, Bachman and Othmer–Tobias equations were used to test the reliability of the experimental values. The influence of the temperature on the (liquid + liquid) phase equilibria of the mixtures, the binodal curves and distribution ratios of 1-propanl are shown and discussed. Moreover, the NRTL and UNIQUAC models were applied to fit the data for both ternary systems. The interaction parameters obtained from both models successfully correlated the equilibrium compositions. Furthermore, the ternary systems could be represented using the binary parameters of the thermodynamic model with a function of temperature.

Human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease/redox effector factor 1 (APE1) is an essential DNA repair protein. Herein, we demonstrate that avidin-oriented abasic site-containing DNA strands (AP-DNA) on the surface of silica coated magnetic nanoparticles (SiMNP) can selectively respond to APE1 while resist the digestion by other nucleases. Mechanism studies have revealed that avidin may serve as an organizer protein and recruit APE1 to the DNA substrates on the nanoparticles via strong and specific interactions. Taking advantage of this newly disclosed property, we for the first time successfully displayed the intracellular activities of APE1 in living cells by fluorescence imaging. The avidin organized AP-DNA-SiMNP assembly holds great potential for enzyme-mediated release of drugs inside tumor cells which often contain higher levels of APE1 than normal cells.

In this study, a system of magnetic beads (MBs) coupled with catalytic fluorescent immunoassay for rapid and sensitive determination of HIV-1 capsid antigen p24 was developed. p24 was captured by antibody immobilized MBs, and the detection antibody was linked to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) through biotin–streptavidin recognition, catalyzing the oxidation of o -phenylenediamine (OPD) and hydrogen peroxide to produce a fluorescent product. This is the first reported utilization of the fluorescence of OPD oxidation product catalyzed by HRP for immunoassay. Optimization of conditions afforded a low detection limit of 0.5 pg/mL (3σ) for p24 with a linear range of 1.4–90.0 pg/mL. The assay exhibited good reproducibility with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.4 %, 4.7 %, and 5.0 % for detecting 1.4 pg/mL, 22.5 pg/mL, and 45.0 pg/mL p24, respectively. The assay can be completed in less than 90 min. Moreover, the proposed method was successfully applied to detect p24 in spiked serum. This method overcomes the interference of MBs to the fluorescence signal and demonstrated higher sensitivity for detection of p24 than conventional ELISA kits. The system could be applied for detecting other antigens with high sensitivity, rapidity, specificity, and simple operation.

Ionic liquids (IL) become more promising in industrial applications, especially in desulfurization processes. It is of great importance to investigate their corrosivity to steel and the effect of steel corrosion on desulfurization performance. In this work, the corrosion behavior of two typical metals, namely mild steel and stainless steel, in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIM]HSO4) IL systems for desulfurization application were investigated by weight loss and surface analyses. The model oil can inhibit the IL corrosivity, while the presence of water or H2O2 enhances the corrosion degree. The bonding information of [BMIM]HSO4 adsorbed on a steel surface was confirmed using ATR-FTIR. It was found that the IL film is mainly adsorbed on the metal surface by the interaction of the imidazolium group of the cation and HSO4− of the anion with the steel surface. From the ICP-MS and Raman analyses, the primary component of corrosion products is iron sulfate (ferric sulfate for mild steel and ferrous sulfate for stainless steel). Localized corrosion (pitting and/or intergranular corrosion) appears on steel surface from SEM observation, which could be a serious safety risk to the [BMIM]HSO4-based desulfurization systems for industrial application. The corrosion has a side effect on the desulfurization performance of [BMIM]HSO4.

Energetic ionic liquids (EILs) based upon nitrate, perchlorate and dicyandiamide salts of 1-alky/esteryl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium are synthesized. The structures are characterized by 1 H NMR, FT-IR and element analysis. The density, constant volume combustion heat and specific heat capacity of these EILs are determined through experiment. Their interaction energies of ion pairs , standard molar volume , standard molar heat capacity and standard molar enthalpy of formation are calculated by DFT/B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) and further researched. The thermodynamics function data relative to the reference temperature (298 K) are obtained based on the C p from 303 to 353 K. The influences of temperature, molecular structure and interaction energy of ion pairs on ρ and C p are also discussed systematically. In addition, the density and thermodynamic properties of EILs are deduced from theoretical calculation and experimental evidences. As a result, the physicochemical properties estimation of EILs using theoretical calculation method can be applied in the field of modern military, science, etc.

In order to clarify the nature of the inter-micellar interactions, we developed an approach to obtain the intermicellar interaction enthalpy through measuring the mixing heats of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)/1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (C 12 mimBr) mixed micelles by using flow-mixing calorimetry . It was found that the inter-micellar interaction enthalpies for this system were negative, representing the attractive enthalpy interactions between the mixed micelle droplets. These results are contradictory to those reported in the literature and interpreted by the predominant attractive dehydration effect of counterion. Static light scattering experiment revealed that the repulsive nature of the interaction characterized by the Gibss free energy should be dominated by the entropy interaction.

Many studies confirm that the aberrant expression of Cytokeratin 19 fragment 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) is highly correlated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially for squamous cell carcinoma. Herein, we report a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor based on signal amplification strategy of multiple nanocomposites to test CYFRA21-1 selectively and sensitively. The proposed immunosensor fabricated by three-dimensional graphene (3D–G), chitosan (CS) and glutaraldehyde (GA) composite on the glass carbon electrode (GCE) with a large surface area is prepared to immobilize primary antibodies (Ab 1 ) and provide excellent conductivity . To further amplify the electrochemical signal, the trace tag on the foundation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is coated with amino-functionalized carbon nanotube (MWCNT-NH 2 ) nanocomposite through thionine linking, which provides more amino groups to capture more horseradish peroxidase-labeled antibodies (HPR-Ab 2 ) and enhances the conductivity. Under optimal conditions, the developed immunosensor exhibits excellent analytical performance for the determination of CYFRA21-1 with a wide linear range from 0.1 to 150 ng·mL − 1 and a low detection limit (LOD) of 43 pg·mL − 1 . Furthermore, satisfactory results are obtained for the determination of CYFRA21-1 in real clinical serum samples, indicating the potential of the immunoassay to be applied in clinical analysis.

A fluorescent biosensor for ochratoxin A was fabricated on the basis of a new nanocomposite (Fe 3 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 /HKUST-1 composites). Fe 3 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 /HKUST-1 was synthesized in this work for the first time, which combined HKUST-1 with g-C 3 N 4 to improve its chemical stability. Fe 3 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 /HKUST-1 composites have strong adsorption capacity for dye-labeled aptamer and are able to completely quench the fluorescence of the dye through the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. In the presence of ochratoxin A (OTA), it can bind with the aptamer with high affinity, causing the releasing of the dye-labeled aptamer from the Fe 3 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 /HKUST-1 and therefore results in the recovery of fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity of the biosensor has a linear relationship with the OTA concentration in the range of 5.0–160.0 ng/mL. The LOD of sensor is 2.57 ng/mL (S/N=3). This fluorescence sensor based on the Fe 3 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 /HKUST-1 composites has been applied to detect OTA in corn with satisfying results.

Insect attacks change the quantity of volatiles emitted from plants, but little is known about the effects on the volatiles' stereochemical configurations. 1-Phenylethanol (1PE) is a major internal volatile of tea (Camellia sinensis) flowers. In the present study, insect-damaged C. sinensis flowers in the field emitted a different (R)-/(S)-1PE pattern than that emitted from undamaged flowers. Laboratory experiments showed that changes in the (R)-/(S)-1PE ratio were caused by treatments with Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan), a pest of cut flowers and vegetable crops. These treatments led to an increase in jasmonic acid (JA) through the activation of allene oxide synthase, which is involved in JA biosynthesis. Exposing flowers to exogenous JA induced an (R)-/(S)-1PE emission pattern that was similar to that induced by a T. hawaiiensis attack, suggesting that JA was involved in the changes in the stereochemical configuration of 1PE emitted from the flowers after insect treatments. This study provides new insights into the involvement of volatiles in interactions between plants and insects, showing that not only the quantity but also the stereochemical configuration of plant volatiles is affected by insects.

Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, a model electroactive bacterium, can oxidize a variety of fermentative organics and utilize an electrode as an electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration. Chitin as the main component of food wastes (shrimp and crab shells) is hardly degraded for bioenergy generation. This study demonstrated that S. oneidensis MR-1 could degrade chitin in microbial fuel cell (MFC). The metabolites during chitin degradation in MFC were succinate, lactate, acetate, formate, and ethanol. Their concentrations produced in MFC were higher than those in the fermentation system, as well as additional electricity could be recovered in MFC. Furthermore, the degradation of GlcNAc (the intermediate of chitin hydrolysis) by S. oneidensis MR-1 was faster than chitin in MFC and fermentation systems. Moreover, the mechanism of enhanced chitin degradation in MFC was speculated. This work might provide a new insight for biomass treatment and energy recovery by S. oneidensis MR-1 in MFC.

Ultra-stable foams with multilayer films which were similar to the structure of colloidal gas aphrons (CGA) were designed in view of increasing the amount of bound water molecules at molecular level. This liquid films in foams were spontaneously assembled by 1-dodecanol (DDA), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) molecular with a remarkable long-term foam lifetime. The states of water molecules as well as the molecular arrangement in foam films have been analyzed via molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to explore microscopic character and stable mechanism of multilayer films of foams. We found that the combined effect of SDS, DDA and PVA could not only increase distribution intensity of bound water molecules in foam film layers, but it also could decrease the gas diffusion rate to balance the pressure of the air layers of the multilayer foams.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a type of malignancy characterized by harboring the oncogene Bcr-Abl , which encodes the constitutively activated tyrosine kinase BCR-ABL. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting BCR-ABL have revolutionized CML therapy, native and acquired drug resistance commonly remains a great challenge. Thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) and glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL), which are two major antioxidants that maintain cellular redox homeostasis, are potential targets for cancer therapy and overcoming drug resistance. However, how their inhibition is implicated in CML is still unclear. Here, our results revealed that Trx1 was overexpressed in patients with CML compared with healthy donors. Trx1 expression was greater in imatinib-resistant CML cells than in imatinib-sensitive cells. Pharmacological inhibitors of Trx1 attenuated cell growth and reduced colony formation in both imatinib-sensitive and imatinib-resistant CML cells. Trx1 knockdown suppressed cell growth and suppressed tumor progression in xenograft models. Furthermore, decreased Trx1 expression enhanced the cytotoxicity of the GCL inhibitor buthionine sulfoximine (BSO). We surmise that the combined inhibition of Trx1 and GLC promotes the induction of hydrogen peroxide and depletes GPX4 expression in CML cells, resulting in ferroptosis in cancerous cells. Finally, the combined inhibition of Trx1 and GCL had a synergistic effect on CML cells in murine xenograft models. These findings offer crucial information regarding the combined roles of Trx1 and GCL in triggering ferroptosis in CML and suggest efficacious therapeutic uses for these systems in this disease.
