In this work, a method for the visual and electrochemical detection of the breast cancer marker CA15–3 was developed based on the etching reaction of gold/silver core-shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) by mercury ions (Hg 2+ ). Two kinds of nanocomplex of silicon dioxide nanospheres-antibodies-mercury ions (SiO 2 NSs-Ab-Hg 2+ ) and Au@Ag NPs-antibodies (Au@Ag NPs-Ab) were first prepared in the visual detection. In the presence of antigen, a sandwich structure of immuno-complex was formed through the specific recognition reaction of antigen and antibody. Then, after the addition of pH 4.6 CPBS, redox reaction occurred between Hg 2+ and silver shell. With the increase of the amount of antigen, the silver shell was etched thinner and thinner, and the color changed obviously. Visual detection of CA15–3 could be realized in the range of 30–300 U/mL. In addition, we adopted the DPV signals generated by Hg 2+ etching of silver shell to realize the electrochemical detection of CA15–3. The detection concentration range was 0.1–200 U/mL with a detection limit of 0.05 U/mL.

Bimetallic nanomaterials (BNMs) have been used in sensing, biomedicine, and environmental remediation, but their multipurpose and comprehensive applications in molecular logic computing and information security protection have received little attention. Herein, This synthesis method is achieved by sequentially adding reactants under ice bath conditions. Interestingly, Ag-Cr NPs can dynamically selectively sense anions and reductants in multiple channels. Especially, ClO − can be quantitatively detected by oxidizing Ag-Cr NPs with detection limits of 98.37 nM (at 270 nm) and 31.83 nM (at 394 nm). Based on sequential-dependent synthesis process of Ag-Cr NPs, Boolean logic gates and customizable molecular keypad locks are constructed by setting the reactants as the inputs, the states of the resulting solutions as the outputs. Furthermore, dynamically selective response patterns of the Ag-Cr NPs can be converted into binary strings to exploit molecular crypto-steganography to encode, store, and hide information. By integrating the three dimensions of authorization, encryption, and steganography, 3 in 1 advanced information protection based on Ag-Cr nanosensing system can be achieved, which can enhance the anti-cracking ability of information. This research will promote the development and application of nanocomposites in the field of information security and deepen the connection between molecular sensing and the information world.

Graphical An alkali catalytic system for the selective conversion of N -acetyl- d -glucosamine (NAG) into unsubstituted 3-acetamidofuran (3AF) via retro-aldol condensation has been developed. 3AF with 73.9 % yield is obtained in the presence of a ternary Ba(OH) 2 −H 3 BO 3 −NaCl catalytic system. Aminofurans are widely used in drug synthesis as aromatic modules analogous to aniline. However, unsubstituted aminofuran compounds are difficult to prepare. In this study, a process for the selective conversion of N -acetyl- d -glucosamine (NAG) into unsubstituted 3-acetamidofuran (3AF) is developed. The yield of 3AF from NAG catalyzed by a ternary Ba(OH) 2 −H 3 BO 3 −NaCl catalytic system in N -methylpyrrolidone at 180 °C for 20 min can reach 73.9 %. Mechanistic studies reveal that the pathway to 3AF starts with a base-promoted retro-aldol condensation of the ring-opened NAG, affording the key intermediate N -acetylerythrosamine. Judicious selection of the catalyst system and conditions enables the selective conversion of biomass-derived NAG into 3AF or 3-acetamido-5-acetylfuran.

Effective removal of both nitrogen and phosphorus from water is of great importance for maintaining the safety of the environment. In this work, ordered mesoporous carbon electrode materials containing La(OH) 3 and Fe 3 C components (La#OMC-Fe 3 C) were prepared by combining solvent evaporation induced self-assembly and impregnation methods. The ordered pores in La#OMC-Fe 3 C facilitated electron transfer at the electrode-solution interface during nitrate reduction and provided voids for phosphate removal . In the electrochemical system, Fe 3 C in the electrode supplied electrons for nitrate reduction and gave the electrode a high degree of stability, whereas La(OH) 3 selectively removed phosphate, thus avoiding byproduct precipitation from solution. The electrode material maintained efficient electrochemical nitrogen and phosphorus removal over a wide range of conditions including pH (3–11) and aqueous environments containing multiple ions (Cl − , SO 4 2− , K + , Na + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ) or actual aqueous environments (seawater). After 10 cycles, the performance of La#OMC-Fe 3 C for nitrogen and phosphorus removal remained above 97%. This work realizes the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus in the electrochemical system, and solves the problems of precipitation in water and non-circulation of electrodes, which can provide a new strategy for the treatment of eutrophic water in practical production.

Background Studies are ongoing to examine the versatile functions of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in human diseases. This research investigates the effects of hsa_circ_0000644 (circ_644) and its related molecules on the malignant behavior of bladder cancer (BCa) cells. Methods Abundant bioinformatics analyses were performed to screen the key circRNA and its related molecules in BCa. Tumor tissues and the para-tumorous tissues were collected from 58 patients with BCa. Expression of RUNX family transcription factor 3 (RUNX3), circ_644, microRNA-143-3p (miR-143-3p), and musashi RNA binding protein 2 (MSI2) in BCa tissues or cells was determined. Molecular interactions were confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation, RNA pull-down, and luciferase assays. Gain and loss-of function assays were performed using two BCa cell lines (T24 and HT1376). Results Circ_644 was highly expressed whereas RUNX3 , which could suppress circ_644 transcription, was lowly expressed in BCa tissues and cells. Upregulation of RUNX3 suppressed proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion, and tumorigenicity of BCa cells and induced cell cycle arrest . However, the tumor-suppressive effects of RUNX3 were blocked by circ_644 upregulation. Circ_644 served as a sponge for miR-143-3p, and miR-143-3p bound to MSI2 mRNA. The rescue experiments showed that miR-143-3p inhibition or MSI2 overexpression restored the malignant behaviors of BCa cells induced by circ_644 knockdown or RUNX3 overexpression. Conclusion This study demonstrates that transcriptional activation of circ_644 upon RUNX3 downregulation drives the malignant development of BCa through the miR-143-3p/MSI2 axis. RUNX3 restoration or specific inhibition of circ_644 or MSI2 may help block BCa progression.

Protein-polysaccharide-polyphenol delivery systems function as a promising tool to deliver bioactive ingredients aiming to improve their solubility and bioavailability. In this study, whey protein isolate (WPI), short-chain inulin (SCI), and cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) were first used to stabilize Pickering emulsions. The physicochemical properties and stability of curcumin encapsulated or not in Pickering emulsions were explored. Results showed that glycosylation and C3G reduced surface and interfacial tension on protein surfaces and inhibited the aggregation of emulsion droplets, thereby reducing the emulsion's particle size. WPI-SCI/C3G stabilized Pickering emulsion had the best stability. The CLSM results showed that the WPI-SCI and WPI-SCI/C3G stabilized emulsions were uniformly dispersed, suggesting that glycosylation and the interaction between protein and C3G enhanced the adsorption capacity of the interfacial protein and improved the stability of the Pickering emulsion. The retention rates of curcumin-loaded WPI-SCI- (67.34 %) and WPI-SCI/C3G- (77.07 %) stabilized Pickering emulsions on day 8 of storage were higher than those in WPI- (33.97 %) and WPI/C3G- (37.02 %) stabilized emulsions, and the degradation half-life was also extended from 7 days to >15 days. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the application of WPI Pickering emulsion and indicate a useful means for the delivery of bioactive components.

The deterioration of wooden breast myofibrillar protein (WBMP) causes a decline in its processing performance, and the protein becomes easier to oxidize. Previous studies have revealed that the use of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) may improve the physicochemical properties and oxidative stability of proteins in aqueous solutions. The effects of varying concentrations (0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, and 0.04%w/v) of EGCG on the physicochemical properties of a WBMP emulsion (1.2% WBMP/10% oil) and the inhibition of lipid and protein oxidation were studied. The results revealed that a moderate dose of EGCG (0.03%) could significantly (p< 0.05) improve the emulsion activity index (4.66 ± 0.41 m2/g) and emulsion stability index (91.95 ± 4.23%), as well as reduce the particle size of the WBMP emulsion. According to the micrographs and cream index, 0.03% EGCG retarded the phase separation by stopping the aggregation of droplets and proteins, thus significantly improving the stability of WBMP emulsions. During storage at 50 °C for 96 h, 0.03% EGCG inhibited lipid oxidation (lipid hydroperoxide and 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance formation) and protein oxidation (carbonyl formation and sulfhydryl loss). In contrast, lower and higher EGCG concentrations (0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.04%) demonstrated shortcomings (such as weak antioxidant capacity or protein over-aggregation) in improving the quality and oxidation stability of the emulsion. In conclusion, a moderate dose of EGCG (0.03%) can be used to improve the quality and shelf life of WBMP emulsions.Keywords:wooden breast;myofibrillar protein;emulsion;(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate;physicochemical properties;oxidative stability

A series of Li 4 Mg 3 [Ti 1-x (Mg 1/3 Ta 2/3 ) x ] 2 O 9 (LMT 1-x (MT) x ) (x = 0–0.4) ceramics were prepared via the traditional solid-state method. The effects of the substitution of (Mg 1/3 Ta 2/3 ) 4+ on the sintering characteristic, crystal structure, phase composition and dielectric properties of Li 4 Mg 3 Ti 2 O 9 ceramics were investigated for the first time. The analysis of the X-ray diffraction pattern indicated that the pure cubic Li 4 Mg 3 Ti 2 O 9 phase could be formed in the whole composition range of 0 ≤x ≤ 0.4. Dense and homogeneous microstructures of LMT 1-x (MT) x ceramics sintered at 1400–1550 °C could be revealed from the scanning electric microscope. The optimum microwave dielectric properties, with a permittivity 15.77, a quality factor 160,575 GHz (at 8.38 GHz) and a τ f value 0 ppm/°C, were achieved in the Li 4 Mg 3 [Ti 0.8 (Mg 1/3 Ta 2/3 ) 0.2 ] 2 O 9 ceramic sintered at 1550 °C.

A new method was developed for the facile one-pot multicomponent construction of heterocycle-fused spiro compounds containing chromanone and pyrrolidinyl spirooxindoles, two potential pharmacophores, in one molecule through a decarboxylative 1,3-dipolar [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of carboxylic acid group-activated chromones 1 with isatin-derivated azomethine ylides based on molecular hybridization strategy. A wide variety of products with three contiguous stereocenters including a spiro quaternary stereocenter were smoothly prepared with high efficiency (up to 87% yield and 20:1 diastereomeric ratio). This method could offer libraries of architecturally diverse and multiple pharmacore collections, potentially useful in medicinal chemistry.

Anthocyanins exist likely as complexes with flavones/metal ions in some plants. However, few studies indicate the complexation effects on bioactivities, i.e. antioxidant activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of complexes of cyanidin-3-diglucoside-5-glucoside (CY3D5G) with rutin/Mg(II) on intrinsic antioxidant enzymes and mRNA expressions. All complexes exhibited cellular antioxidant activity in RAW264.7 cells, whereas half maximal effective concentration (EC 50 ) values of CY3D5G complexes were significantly lower than its alone. Combination indexes of CY3D5G-rutin, CY3D5G-Mg(II), and CY3D5G-rutin-Mg(II) complexes were < 1 ( p < .05), indicating of synergistic effects. Additionally, CY3D5G-Mg(II) rather than others significantly enhanced total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase activity, and glutathione peroxidase activity while reducing malonic dialdehyde contents in H 2 O 2 -induced RAW264.7 cell model ( p < 0.05), which were further confirmed with the up-regulated mRNA expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and the down-regulated p21 ( p < 0.05). Our results demonstrated that CY3D5G and its complexes might enhance cellular antioxidant activities via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Additionally, a synergistic antioxidant effect of CY3D5G in the present of rutin/ Mg(II) as regular food components was evident, suggesting anthocyanin might interact with dietary components such as Mg(II) or rutin in food matrix or biological systems and exhibit a stronger antioxidant activity than it alone. The Mg (II) that exhibited no antioxidant activities alone shows potential as a co-adjuvant for the anthocyanin antioxidant activity.

(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the main component of green tea, has long been explored in the treatment and/or prevention of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. However, EGCG has been recently shown to exhibit acute and subacute toxicity. Although a lot of work has been done, the mechanisms of EGCG-induced mitochondrial dysfunction has not been delineated in primary astrocyte. Here, the mitotoxic effect of EGCG on primary astrocytes was investigated by measuring Ca 2+ overloading-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. As expected, EGCG dose-dependently inhibited astrocytes growth depending on Ca 2+ overloading, especially at 50 μM EGCG group. It is interesting to note that Ca 2+ influx from the extracellular space was responsible for an increase in the cytosolic Ca 2+ level ([Ca 2+ ] i ) by opening voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) and, consequently, mitochondrial Ca 2+ ([Ca 2+ ] m ) overloaded via the mitochondrial Ca 2+ uniporter (MCU). As a result, mitochondrial dysfunction was induced, including the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), mitochondrial membrane depolarization, an increasing in reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cytochrosome c (cyt c) releasing. Therefore, more apoptotic cells were observed in 50 μM EGCG group than that of in 1 μM EGCG group. These findings suggested that a high dose of EGCG was toxic to astrocytes partly by targeting mitochondria via calcium pathway, which would extend our understanding of the toxicity of EGCG and the underlying mechanisms.
