Poly(4-vinyl pyridine) decorated magnetic chitosan biopolymer (VMCP), as an absorbent and reductant, was prepared and used to remove hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from aqueous solution. Compared with undecorated magnetic biopolymer, VMCP exhibited significantly improved removal performance under identical experimental conditions. The kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics of Cr(VI) adsorption onto VMCP were investigated. Results demonstrated that the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of VMCP was 344.83 mg/g, which was considerably higher than most reported adsorbents. The mechanism for Cr(VI) removal was explored based on XPS and FTIR analyses. The main mechanisms were concluded to be Cr(VI) adsorption onto the positively charged VMCP surface and the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), followed by coordination between Cr(III) and N atoms. The easy regeneration, satisfactory reusability, and remarkable performance in column tests revealed the high potential of VMCP in treating Cr(VI)-contaminated water.

Chelating 1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acids were successfully introduced onto the cross-linked PGMA microsphere surfaces by the combination of ring-opening reactions and the click chemistry process between the alkynyl groups of propiolic acid (PA) and the epoxy groups on the surfaces of the PGMA microspheres. The resultant PA-conjugated PGMA microspheres were found to be an effective adsorbent for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions. Success in each functionalization step was ascertained by ATR-FTIR, XPS and SEM characterization. Batch and column adsorption experiments were performed to determine the adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms and thermodynamics of Pb(II) ions on the as-synthesized microspheres. The Langmuir-fitted maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(II) ions was found to be 69.41 mg g−1 at a solution pH of 5.0, together with the adsorption equilibrium being achieved within 60 min. The thermodynamic studies demonstrated an endothermic and spontaneous adsorption process of Pb(II) ions on the PA-conjugated PGMA microspheres. Column adsorption studies revealed the decrease in the adsorption capacities of the breakthrough and exhaustion points with increasing flow rate. The postulated adsorption mechanism was attributed to the electrostatic interactions from carboxylic groups and chelation or coordination of Pb(II) ions from the triazole moieties, which was facilitated to form a pluralistic potential trap for Pb(II) ions, as confirmed by XPS characterization.

A novel biosensor consisting of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by a polydiphenylamine-4-sulfonic acid (PDPASA, conjugated polymer) film and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), i.e. dsDNA/PDPASA/GCE, was researched and developed for the analysis of catechol – a potentially toxic substance for humans and the environment. The surface properties of the PDPASA film, particularly after dsDNA was immobilized on it, were characterized with the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The surfaces of the novel DNA/PDPASA/GCE biosensor changed during the fabrication process and displayed high sensitivity for catechol. The oxidation potential of catechol decreased significantly and the corresponding current increased substantially as compared with the values obtained at the GCE alone and at the dsDNA/GCE. Also, with the addition of hydroquinone, two well discriminated CV peaks were obtained, and it was demonstrated that hydroquinone did not interfere with catechol. DPV analysis produced a linear catechol calibration (range: 0.750 to 8.25 × 10−6 mol L−1; detection limit: 6.48 × 10−7 mol L−1), and thus, various water samples were analysed successfully by this novel method. In addition, the DNA/PDPASA/GCE was used to study DNA damage in the presence of catechol with the use of the Co(phen)33+ electroactive probe. Results indicated that the potentially toxic catechol and its metabolites were all responsible for DNA damage.

Derivatization is usually employed in immunoassay for detection of metabolites of nitrofurans and avoiding derivatization could be preferable to achieve an efficient screening. In the study, we designed four haptens of 4-hydroxybenhydrazide (HBH), the nifuroxazide metabolite. The effect of hapten structures on antibody affinity were evaluated and one monoclonal antibody was produced by using the Hapten C with a linear alkalane spacer arm. After optimization, an enzyme linked-immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was established with an 50% inhibition concentration of 0.25 ng mL −1 for HBH, which could ensure the direct detection of HBH without derivatization. The limit of detection of the ELISA for HBH was 0.12 µg kg −1 with the recoveries of 90.1–96.2% and coefficient of variation (CV) values lower than 9.1%. In conclusion, we produced several high affinity antibodies to HBH with new designed hapten and developed an icELISA for the direct detection of HBH without derivatization in chicken.

4-Chlorophenol (4-CP) oxidation plays an essential role in the detoxification of 4-CP. However, oxidative regulation of 4-CP at the genetic and biochemical levels has not yet been studied. To explore the regulation mechanism of 4-CP oxidation, a novel gene cluster, cphRA2A1, involved in biodegradation of 4-CP was identified and cloned from Rhodococcus sp. strain YH-5B by genome walking. The sequence analysis showed that the cphRA2A1 gene cluster encoded an AraC-type transcriptional regulator and a two-component monooxygenase enzyme, while quantitative real-time PCR analysis further revealed that cphR was constitutively expressed and positively regulated the transcription of cphA2A1 genes in response to 4-CP or phenol, as evidenced by gene knockout and complementation experiments. Through the transcriptional fusion of the mutated cphA2A1 promoter with the lacZ gene, it was found that the CphR regulator binding sites had two 15-bp imperfect direct repeats (TGCA-N6-GGNTA) at −35 to −69 upstream of the cphA2A1 transcriptional start site. Notably, the sub-motifs at the −46 to −49 positions played a critical role in the appropriate interaction with the CphR dimer. In addition, it was confirmed that the monooxygenase subunits CphA1 and CphA2, which were purified by His-tag affinity chromatography, were able to catalyze the conversion of 4-CP to 4-chlorocatechol, suggesting that strain YH-5B could degrade 4-CP via the 4-chlorocatechol pathway. This study enhances our understanding of the genetic and biochemical diversity in the transcriptional regulation of 4-CP oxidation in Gram-positive bacteria.

Carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) is an important biomarker associated closely with diagnosis and prognosis of early gastric cancer. How to realize quick, sensitive, specific, and quantitative detection of CA72-4 in clinical specimens has become a great requirement. Herein, we reported a CdSe/ZnS quantum dot-labeled lateral flow test strip combined with a charge-coupled device (CCD)-based reader was developed for rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of CA72-4. Two mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against CA72-4 were employed. One of them was coated as a test line, while another mAb was labeled with quantum dots and coated onto conjugate pad. The goat anti-mouse IgG was immobilized as a control line. After sample was added, a sandwich structure was formed with CA72-4 and these two mAbs. The fluorescent signal from quantum dots (QD)-labeled mAb in sandwich structure was related to the amount of detected CA72-4. A CCD-based reader was used to realize quantitative detection of CA72-4. Results showed that developed QD-labeled lateral flow strips to detect CA72-4 biomarker with the sensitivity of 2 IU/mL and 10 min detection time. One hundred sera samples from clinical patients with gastric cancer and healthy people were used to confirm specificity of this strip method; results showed that established strip method own 100 % reproducibility and 100 % specificity compared with Roche electrochemiluminescence assay results. In conclusion, CdSe/ZnS quantum dot-labeled lateral flow strips for detection of CA72-4 could realize rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of clinical samples and could own great potential in clinical translation in near future.

In this work, we report the enhanced catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol driven by Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposite interface engineering. A facile solvothermal method is employed for Fe3O4hollow microspheres and Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposite synthesis via a seed deposition process. Complementary structural, chemical composition and valence state studies validate that the as-obtained samples are formed in a pure magnetite phase. A series of characterizations including conventional scanning/transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM), Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetic testing and elemental mapping is conducted to unveil the structural and physical characteristics of the developed Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites. By adjusting the quantity of Au seeds coating on the polyethyleneimine-dithiocarbamates (PEI-DTC)-modified surfaces of Fe3O4hollow microspheres, the correlation between the amount of Au seeds and the catalytic ability of Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) is investigated systematically. Importantly, bearing remarkable recyclable features, our developed Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites can be readily separated with a magnet. Such Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites shine the light on highly efficient catalysts for 4-NP reduction at the mass production level.Keywords:Fe3O4hollow microspheres;Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites;catalytic reduction;4-nitrophenol

A rapid and simple fluorescence probe based on CeO 2 quantum dots (QDs) was developed for highly selective and ultrasensitive direct determination of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). CeO 2 QDs were prepared using the sol-gel method with the precursor of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O as a cerium source. The products were characterized through high-resolution electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The fluorescent probe based on CeO 2 QDs exhibited a broad linear response to the concentration of 4-NP in the range of 0.005–75.00 μM and provided a low detection limit of 1.50 nM. The fluorescence of CeO 2 QDs was quenched by 4-NP through the fluorescence resonance energy transfer mechanism owing to the well overlaps between the fluorescence emission spectrum of CeO 2 QDs with the ultraviolet absorption spectrum of 4-NP. This result was confirmed by the time-resolved fluorescence spectra and the evaluation of the interaction distance between CeO 2 QDs and 4-NP. The prepared CeO 2 QDs are successfully applied to the determination of 4-NP in real water samples, where the spiked recoveries range from 98.2% to 102.4%.

A series of new 4-hydroxycoumarin platinum(IV) complexes were designed, synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agents . All the title compounds display moderate to effective antitumor activities toward the tested cell lines and two prominent compounds were screened out with activities comparable to cisplatin and oxaliplatin . The mechanism investigation demonstrates that the platinum(IV) compounds could be reduced to bivalence and exert significant genotoxicity to tumor cells. Meanwhile the coumarin moiety endows the title compounds with cyclooxygenase inhibitory competence which might favour the reduction of tumor-related inflammation and further influence tumor proliferation. The coumarin platinum(IV) complex could effectively induce apoptosis of SKOV-3 cells through up-regulating the expression of caspase3 and caspase9. Furthermore, the conversion of platinum(II) drugs to platinum(IV) form via the conjunction with 4-hydroxycoumarin enhances the drug uptake in whole cells and DNA simultaneously. Moreover, the 4-hydroxycoumarin platinum(IV) complex could combine with human serum albumin via van der Waals force and hydrogen bond , which would influence their transport and bioactivities in vivo .

The effect of Ca(OH) 2 and Zr(OH) 4 on the sintering behavior and thermal shock resistance of Y 2 O 3 ceramics were investigated in this study. The results showed that Ca(OH) 2 enhanced the densification of Y 2 O 3 ceramics. CaO generated from the decomposition of Ca(OH) 2 reacted with Y 2 O 3 to form a solid solution. The substitution of Ca 2 + for Y 3+ created V O ∙ ∙ that facilitated substance migration and pore elimination. Conversely, the introduction of Zr(OH) 4 exerted an adverse effect on the sintering. ZrO 2 produced by the decomposition of Zr(OH) 4 formed a solid solution with Y 2 O 3 which inhibited the sintering of Y 2 O 3 ceramics, where Zr 4+ primarily enhanced lattice stability rather than promoting sintering. The O i ′ ′ created by the substitution of Zr 4+ for Y 3+ reduced cation diffusion and hindered grain boundary migration. The mechanisms by which two types of additives affect the thermal shock stability of Y 2 O 3 ceramics are different. The Zr(OH) 4 -doped ceramics demonstrated better thermal shock resistance owing to their higher porosity, which changed energy release pathway and increased the resistance to crack propagation. In comparison, the improvement in the Ca(OH) 2 -doped ceramics mainly originated from the enhanced mechanical properties, which would suppressed crack initiation and delayed failure under thermal stress.

Directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) has shown great potential for creating sub-10 nm patterns for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. It is necessary to develop block copolymers with high Flory–Huggins interaction parameters (χ) and similar surface energies (γ) between constituent blocks. Herein, this work presents the synthesis of lamellae-forming poly(4-chlorostyrene-b-methyl acrylate) (P4ClS-b-PMA) and investigates the DSA behavior of P4ClS-b-PMA. P4ClS-b-PMA has a higher χ than poly(styrene-b-methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) and poly(styrene-b-methyl acrylate) (PS-b-PMA), resulting in the smallest achievable period (L0) to 14.1 nm. Notably, the P4ClS and PMA blocks possess similar γ values, which facilitates the formation of perpendicularly orientated domains in P4ClS-b-PMA films on neutral, substrate-modified silicon wafers under thermal annealing. 7× density multiplication DSA of P4ClS-b-PMA is successfully demonstrated in films on chemical patterns fabricated by 193 immersion (193i) lithography, with a feature size of about 7.5 nm. These findings confirm that P4ClS-b-PMA could be a potential candidate for DSA lithography.
