Double fluoride 2,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BFO) monomer was synthesized. Copolymerization of BFO, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxypheny)propane (bisphenol A) and 3′3-disulfonate-4′4-dichloro dipheny sulfone (SDCDPS) at different molar ratio resulted in a new poly (aryl ether sulfone) containing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole polymers (SPAESO). The structures of monomer BFO and copolymer were confirmed by FT-IR and 1 H NMR. The TEM pictures showed that the ion clusters were formed and distributed evenly in SPAESO copolymer matrix. The sulfonated polyoxadiazole membranes exhibited excellent thermal, dimensional and oxidative stability and lower methanol diffusion coefficient. The proton conductivity of SPAESO-3 was 7.5 × 10 −2 Scm −1 at 120 °C while the methanol permeability coefficient of SPAESO-3 was only 2.23 × 10 −7 cm 2 S −1 at 25 °C. According to the comprehensive performance, the sulfonated polyoxadiazole membranes may be the alternative materials as proton exchange membrane for PEMFC at medium-high temperature operation.

Enzyme catalyzed coupling with redox mediators are considered as great interesting and viable technologies to transform antibiotics. This work demonstrated the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was effective in transforming sulfadiazine (SDZ) transformation coupled with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) at varying conditions. The removal of SDZ was independent of Na + and its ionic strength, but Ca 2+ could enhance transformation efficiency by increasing the enzyme activity of HRP. The presence of humic acid (HA) and polystyrene (PS) microplastics showed inhibition on the transformation of SDZ, and the transformation rate constants ( k ) decreased with the concentration of HA and PS particles increased. These primarily attributed to covalent coupling and electrostatic interaction between SDZ and HA, SDZ and PS, respectively, which reduced the concentration of free SDZ in the reaction solution. The presence of cation recovered the inhibition of SDZ transformation by HA and PS particles, which ascribed to compete between cation and SDZ. The divalent cations (Ca 2+ ) showed more substantial competitiveness than mono (Na + ) due to more carried charge. Eight possible transformation products were identified, and potential SDZ transformation pathways were proposed, which include δ-cleavage, γ-cleavage, carbonylation, hydroxylation, SO 2 extrusion and SO 3 extrusion. In addition, HA and PS particles couldn’t affect the transformation pathways of SDZ. These findings provide novel understandings of the transformation and the fate of antibiotics in the natural environment by HRP coupled with redox mediators.

1-Hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) is a ubiquitous metabolite of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and has been widely used as a biomarker for evaluation of human exposure to PAHs. In this paper, an electrochemical sensor consisted of graphene oxide nanoribbon (GON)/octa(3-aminopropyl)octasilae quioxane octahydrochloride (OA-POSS) framework films (GON/OA-POSS) modified electrode for pre-concentrating and sensing of 1-OHP was described. The GON/OA-POSS composite films were prepared by hierarchically layer-by-layer assembly via electrostatic interactions. GON, which has higher electrical conductivity than that of graphene oxide, offers residual π-conjugated systems for adsorption of 1-OHP via π–π stacking interaction. Meanwhile, OA-POSS nanocages make the GON layers frameworked to enhance contacting between GON and 1-OHP. When 1-OHP was pre-concentrated on GON/OA-POSS frameworks modified electrode, the response signal and adsorption stability was enhanced significantly. Differential pulse voltammetry was used for direct determination of 1-OHP. The electrochemical sensor calibration curve had a range of 0.1–12.55 μM ( R = 0.995) with a detection limit of 0.04 μM. The results showed that the GON/OA-POSS framework films modified electrode established a new way for simple and sensitive analysis of 1-OHP.

Spautin-1 is a well-known macroautophagy/autophagy inhibitor via suppressing the deubiquitinases USP10 and USP13 and promoting the degradation of the PIK3C3/VPS34-BECN1 complex, while its effect on selective autophagy remains poorly understood. Mitophagy is a selective form of autophagy for removal of damaged and superfluous mitochondria via the autophagy-lysosome pathway. Here, we report a surprising discovery that, while spautin-1 remains as an effective autophagy inhibitor, it promotes PINK1-PRKN-dependent mitophagy induced by mitochondrial damage agents. Mechanistically, spautin-1 facilitates the stabilization and activation of the full-length PINK1 at the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) via binding to components of the TOMM complex (TOMM70 and TOMM20), leading to the disruption of the mitochondrial import of PINK1 and prevention of PARL-mediated PINK1 cleavage. Moreover, spautin-1 induces neuronal mitophagy in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) in a PINK-1-PDR-1-dependent manner. Functionally, spautin-1 is capable of improving associative learning capability in an Alzheimer disease (AD) C. elegans model. In summary, we report a novel function of spautin-1 in promoting mitophagy via the PINK1-PRKN pathway. As deficiency of mitophagy is closely implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, the pro-mitophagy function of spautin-1 might suggest its therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative disorders such as AD.Abbreviations: AD, Alzheimer disease; ATG, autophagy related; BafA1, bafilomycin A1; CALCOCO2/NDP52, calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2; CCCP, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone; COX4/COX IV, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4; EBSS, Earle’s balanced salt; ECAR, extracellular acidification rate; GFP, green fluorescent protein; IA, isoamyl alcohol; IMM, inner mitochondrial membrane; MAP1LC3/LC3, microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MMP, mitochondrial membrane potential; mtDNA, mitochondrial DNA; nDNA, nuclear DNA; O/A, oligomycin-antimycin; OCR, oxygen consumption rate; OMM, outer mitochondrial membrane; OPTN, optineurin; PARL, presenilin associated rhomboid like; PINK1, PTEN induced kinase 1; PRKN, parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; p-Ser65-Ub, phosphorylation of Ub at Ser65; TIMM23, translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 23; TOMM, translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane; USP10, ubiquitin specific peptidase 10; USP13, ubiquitin specific peptidase 13; VAL, valinomycin; YFP, yellow fluorescent protein.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are immune chronic diseases characterized by recurrent episodes, resulting in continuous intestinal barrier damage and intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. Safe strategies aimed at stabilizing and reducing IBDs recurrence have been vigorously pursued. Here, we constructed a recurrent intestinal injury Drosophila model and found that vitamin B12 (VB12), an essential co-factor for organism physiological functions, could effectively protect the intestine and reduce dextran sulfate sodium-induced intestinal barrier disruption. VB12 also alleviated microbial dysbiosis in the Drosophila model and inhibited the growth of gram-negative bacteria. We demonstrated that VB12 could mitigate intestinal damage by activating the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 signaling pathway in injured conditions, which was achieved by regulating the intestinal oxidation. In addition, we also validated the protective effect of VB12 in a murine acute colitis model. In summary, we offer new insights and implications for the potential supportive role of VB12 in the management of recurrent IBDs flare-ups.

Two salalen titanium(IV) complexes ((H-salalen)TiCl2 and (F-salalen)TiCl2) containing hydrogen and fluorine respectively on the phenolate ring close to the imine were synthesized for the copolymerization of ethylene with 1-octene to prepare poly(ethylene-co-1-octene) in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO). The (F-salalen)TiCl2/MAO showed higher catalytic activity and better copolymer characteristics such as a higher molecular weight, narrower molecular weight distribution, and higher 1-octene incorporation than (H-salalen)TiCl2/MAO, which revealed that the electron-withdrawing conjugated effect introduced by fluorine substituents led to improvements on catalytic performance and thermal stability. The influences of copolymerization conditions including temperature, Al/Ti molar ratios and comonomer feed ratios on the copolymerization behavior of (F-salalen)TiCl2/MAO and the copolymer microstructure were investigated in detail. Under the activation of MAO, the (F-salalen)TiCl2 could produce ultrahigh molecular weight poly(ethylene-co-1-octene) with 1-octene incorporation ratios in the range of 0.9–3.1 mol% and exhibit relatively high activity. It could be inferred that long ethylene sequences in the copolymer were segregated by the isolated 1-octene units based on the 13C NMR characterization of the copolymer. Moreover, the thermal properties and crystallization of copolymers were determined by DSC and XRD and correlated to the ethylene sequence length distribution. The reactivity ratios calculated by the triad distribution in 13C NMR revealed the random comonomer distribution in the copolymer chain.

Separation of dichlorobenzene (DCB) isomers with high purity by time− and energy−saving methods from their mixtures is still a great challenge in the fine chemical industry. Herein, silicalite-1 zeolites/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) hybrid membranes (silicalite-1/PDMS) have been successfully fabricated on the porous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) supports to first investigate the pervaporation separation properties of DCB isomers. The morphology and structure of the silicalite-1 zeolites and the silicalite-1/PDMS/PVDF hybrid membranes were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM and BET. The results showed that the active silicalite-1/PDMS layers were dense and continuous without any longitudinal cracks and other defects with the silicalite-1 zeolites content no more than 10%. When the silicalite-1 zeolites content exceeded 10%, the surfaces of the active silicalite-1/PDMS layers became rougher, and silicalite-1 zeolites aggregated to form pile pores. The pervaporation experiments both in single-isomer and binary−isomer systems for the separation of DCB isomers was further carried out at 60 °C. The results showed that the silicalite-1/PDMS/PVDF hybrid membranes with 10% silicalite-1 zeolites content had better DCB selective separation performance than the silicalite-1/α−Al2O3membranes prepared by template method. The permeate fluxes of the DCB isomers increased in the order of m−DCB < o−DCB < p−DCB both in single-isomer and binary-isomers solutions for the silicalite-1/PDMS/PVDF hybrid membranes. The separation factor of the silicalite-1/PDMS/PVDF hybrid membranes for p/o−DCB was 2.9 and for p/m−DCB was 4.6 in binary system. The permeate fluxes of the silicalite-1/PDMS/PVDF hybrid membranes for p−DCB in p/o−DCB and p/m−DCB binary−isomers solutions were 126.2 g∙m−2∙h−1and 104.3 g∙m−2∙h−1, respectively. The thickness−normalized pervaporation separation index in p/o−DCB binary−isomers solutions was 4.20 μm∙kg∙m−2∙h−1and in p/m−DCB binary−isomers solutions was 6.57 μm∙kg∙m−2∙h−1. The results demonstrated that the silicalite-1/PDMS/PVDF hybrid membranes had great potential for pervaporation separation of DCB from their mixtures.

1-Hydroxypyrene (1-HP) is the final metabolite of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the human body, and Fe 3+ is an important trace element for human growth and metabolism. When 1-HP or Fe 3+ is detected in human urine, it indicates that there is a problem with the human health condition. The detection of 1-HP and Fe 3+ in urine can reflect the health status of the human body. In this work, Eu(III) complexes coated silane coupling agent (WD-53) modified spherical SiO 2 core-shell composite material (SiO 2 -WD-53@L-Eu) was prepared and used as the fluorescent probe for detecting 1-HP and Fe 3+ . The fluorescence intensity of SiO 2 -WD-53@L-Eu with the same mass concentration is 1.37 times that of L-Eu, while the content of Eu 3+ in SiO 2 -WD-53@L-Eu is only about one-third of L-Eu. Moreover, the dispersion stability of SiO 2 -WD-53@L-Eu in solvents is much higher than that of L-Eu. Furthermore, SiO 2 -WD-53@L-Eu exhibits the sensitive response to 1-HP and Fe 3+ without interference from inorganic salts, urea, glucose and other components. The fluorescence quenching constants for detecting 1-HP and Fe 3+ are 9.62 × 10 5 M − 1 and 5.29 × 10 3 M − 1 , respectively, and the limits of detection are 5.93 × 10 − 6 M and 1.08 × 10 − 3 M, respectively. We further employed the SiO 2 -WD-53@L-Eu composite material within a Tris-HCl buffer to detect 1-HP and Fe 3+ , respectively, and obtained Stern-Volmer quenching constants (K sv ) of 3.662 × 10 5 M − 1 and 1.957 × 10 3 M − 1 . Compared to L-Eu, composite material SiO 2 -WD-53@L-Eu has higher fluorescence efficiency, better dispersion stability and chemical stability. Therefore, SiO 2 -WD-53@L-Eu is considered a promising material for detecting 1-HP and Fe 3+ in urine.

This study investigated the efficacy of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA, 1.0 mM) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP, 1 µL L − 1 ), individually and in combination, in mitigating watercore disappearance, flesh browning, and postharvest quality in apples during 180 days storage. The results showed that the combined GABA + 1-MCP treatment outperformed individual applications, significantly delaying watercore disappearance by preserving sucrose and sorbitol while moderating glucose and fructose accumulation. Furthermore, the combined treatment significantly reduced flesh browning compared to the control, likely attributed to suppressed polyphenol oxidase activity and enhanced antioxidant capacity. This approach also minimized weight loss and maintained firmness and titratable acidity. Although total phenolics and total flavonoids increased progressively during storage, their levels were effectively regulated by the GABA + 1-MCP treatment. These results indicate that the combined exogenous application of GABA and 1-MCP is a potentially effective method to improve postharvest quality, and enhance storage efficiency of apple fruit.

This work describes a method for the determination of 1-hydroxypyrene (OH-Py) via aggregation-induced quenching of the emission of protamine-coated gold nanoclusters using 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (OH-Phe) as a sensitizer to boost the emission efficiency of nanoprobe. Under optimum conditions, the drop in fluorescence intensity at excitation/emission wavelengths of 300/596 nm is proportional to the concentrations of OH-Py in the range from 1.0 to 65 nM. The relative standard deviations are 4.2, 2.4 and 1.9% (for n = 11) at concentration levels of 8.0, 32 and 48 nM of OH-Py, respectively. The detection limit is 0.3 nM which is much lower than that of some previously reported methods. The recoveries from urine samples spiked with OH-Py ranged between 94.4 and 98.8%.
1-Hydroxypyrene (OH-Py) can trigger the aggregation of protamine-gold nanoclusters (PRT-AuNCs), resulting in the emission quenching of PRT-AuNCs. 9-Hydroxyphenanthrene (OH-Phe) can boost the emission efficiency of nanoprobe. Thereby, a highly sensitive assay of OH-Py was established.

Background Diseases caused by Toxoplasma gondii ( T. gondii ) have introduced serious threats to public health . There is an urgent need to develop a rapid detection method for T. gondii infection in cats, which are definitive hosts. Recombinant apical membrane antigen 1 (rAMA1) was produced in a prokaryotic expression system and used as the detection antigen. The aim of this study was to evaluate and optimize a reliable indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA) method based on rAMA1 for the detection of antibodies against T. gondii in cats. Results The rAMA1-iELISA method was developed and optimized by the chessboard titration method. There were no cross-reactions between T. gondii -positive cat serum and positive serum for other pathogens, indicating that rAMA1-iELISA could only detect T. gondii in most cases. The lowest detection limit of rAMA1-iELISA was 1:3200 (dilution of positive serum), and the CV of repeated tests within batches and between batches were confirmed to be less than 10%. The results of 247 cat serum samples detected by rAMA1-iELISA (kappa value = 0.622, p < 0.001) were in substantial agreement with commercial ELISA. The ROC curve analysis revealed the higher overall check accuracy of rAMA1-iELISA (sensitivity = 91.7%, specificity = 93.6%, AUC = 0.956, 95% CI 0.905 to 1.000) than GRA7-based iELISA (sensitivity = 91.7%, specificity = 85.5%, AUC = 0.936, 95% CI 0.892 to 0.980). Moreover, the positive rate of rAMA1-iELISA (6.5%, 16/247) was higher than that of GRA7-based iELISA (3.6%, 9/247) and that of commercial ELISA kit (4.9%, 12/247). Conclusion The iELISA method with good specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility was established and can be used for large-scale detection of T. gondii infection in clinical cat samples.

Background The paucity of reliable biomarkers for predicting immunotherapy efficacy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has emerged as a burgeoning concern with the expanding use of immunotherapy. This study endeavors to delve into the potential peripheral biomarkers capable of prognosticating efficacy in HCC patients who are poised to receive anti-PD-1 monotherapy within the phase III clinical trial, KEYNOTE394. Additionally, we sought to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms for resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and propose innovative combination immunotherapy strategies for future clinical application.Methods Patient blood samples were collected for single-cell RNA sequencing to evaluate the immune cell signature before receiving ICB therapy. Subsequently, in vitro assays and in vivo murine model experiments were conducted to validate the mechanism that S100A9+CD14+ monocytes play a role in ICB resistance.Results Our study demonstrates a notable enrichment of S100A9+CD14+ monocytes in the peripheral blood of patients exhibiting suboptimal responses to anti-PD-1 therapy. Moreover, we identified the Mono_S100A9 signature as a predictive biomarker, indicative of reduced efficacy in immunotherapy and decreased survival benefits across various tumor types. Mechanistically, S100A9 activates PD-L1 transcription by directly binding to the CD274 (PD-L1) gene promoter, thereby suppressing T-cell proliferation and cytotoxicity via the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, consequently diminishing the therapeutic effectiveness of subsequent anti-PD-1 treatments. Furthermore, our in vivo studies revealed that inhibiting S100A9 can synergistically enhance the efficacy of anti-PD-1 drugs in the eradication of hepatocellular carcinoma.Conclusion sOur study underscores the significance of S100A9+CD14+ monocytes in predicting inadequate response to ICB treatment and provides insights into the monocyte cell-intrinsic mechanisms of resistance to ICB therapy. We also propose a combined therapeutic approach to enhance ICB efficacy by targeting S100A9.
