Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) receive increasing interest in the construction of high-performance electrochemical sensors, because of their outstanding properties such as large surface area, rich active sites, tunable pore size, and high electrocatalysis. In this work, an electroactive sensing metal-organic framework material, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology-1 (HKUST-1), has been successfully constructed by the in-situ electrodeposition of metallic copper (Cu) on an electrode surface modified with Nafion-single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs-Nafion), followed by potentiostatic scan in benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid solution. The HKUST-1 modified electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR and electrochemistry. Electrochemical sensing assays show that the HKUST-1/SWCNTs-Nafion modified electrode can effectively resolve the overlapping redox signals of the three dihydroxybenzene isomers (DHBIs), namely hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CT), and resorcinol (RS), and is capable of determination of the DHBIs in real water samples.

Development of a simple, sensitive and specific method for HIV-1 assay is demanded. In some emergency situations, a portable reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) platform is necessary. A novel hydrogen ion-selective RT-LAMP (H + -RT-LAMP) sensor was developed for highly sensitive HIV-1 using hydrogen ion concentration as a signal producing compound. The H + -RT-LAMP sensor was based on screen-printed with carbon-doped graphene conductive layer, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) solid electrolyte layer, and reference electrode KCl functional layer, which provided superior electrical signals, high sensitivity and stability for HIV-1 detection. The rate of hydrogen ion production was related to the viral load (VL) during the amplification of HIV-1. The sensitive HIV-1 RNA detection range was achieved from 0 copies/μL to 10 5 copies/μL. The proposed H + -RT-LAMP sensor was applied to detect HIV-1 RNA in real human serum. 57 samples were detected and satisfactory results were obtained. Compared with commercial instruments, the detection results of H + -RT-LAMP sensor demonstrated a perfect concordance rate of 96.5 %, and the limit of detection (LOD) for the clinical samples was 10 copies per tube. Time to get the result is from 10 min to 25 min. Therefore, the proposed H + -RT-LAMP sensor was particularly suitable as a point-of-care device for the on-site detection of HIV-1.

Zinc coordinated 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (Zn-HEDP) film was fabricated on steel surface by coordination self-assembly method. The surface morphology and chemical composition of Zn-HEDP film were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and the structural and valence state of Zn-HEDP film was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion resistance of Zn-HEDP film in 3.5wt% NaCl solution was investigated by using potentiodynamic polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The experimental results show that Zn-HEDP film is in a smooth surface with disturbed nanoparticles. The protection efficiency of Zn-HEDP film to steel in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution is firstly increased and then decreased with the increasing of zinc concentration, pH value and assembly time. The optimum preparation conditions for Zn-HEDP film are the zinc concentration of 10 mmol/L, pH value of 5.0 and assembly time of 30 min, under which the protection efficiency of film is reached to 95.79 %. The coordination between zinc ions and HEDP can effectively increase the binding energy with Q235 steel. Zinc ions can improve the compactness and thickness of Zn-HEDP films as bridging agents, which prevent Q235 steel from corrosive solution.

A series of 3-phenyl-1-phenylsulfonyl pyrazoles containing an aminoguanidine moiety was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The majority of the target compounds showed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against the tested strains, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 2 to 64 μg/ml. Compound 5k , showing the most potent antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis CMCC 63501 and multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 with an MIC value of 2 μg/ml, was the most promising one in this series. It was also effective for S. aureus ATCC 33591 and multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli ATCC BAA-196 at higher concentrations. The bactericidal time–kill kinetics test illustrated that compound 5k had rapid bactericidal potential. Docking results exhibited that compound 5k showed various kinds of binding to the FabH receptor, reflecting that 5k could bind with the active site well. All compounds showed excellent activity against the investigated cancer cells, with IC 50 values ranging from 1.90 to 54.53 µM. Among them, compound 5f showed prominent cytotoxicity with IC 50 = 1.90 µM against A549 cells, while exhibiting lower inhibitory activity against 293T cells (IC 50 = 41.72 µM), indicating that it has the potential for a good therapeutic index as an anticancer drug.

New radionuclide-labeled targeting nanocarrier systems have generated new opportunities for tumor treatment and imaging. Nevertheless, such therapeutic strategy is clinically unfeasible on anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) patients, because of lacking suitable targets and resistance to radiation. In order to figure out a potential treatment, immuno-histochemical staining is performed in human ATC tissue species and high expression of cluster determinant 44 (CD44) is found. Therefore, a CD44-targeted delivery system is designed and constructed by self-assembly of tyrosine (Tyr)–hyaluronic acid (HA)–polyethyleneimine (PEI), which can radiolabel 131/125 I and load a p53 mutant restoring regent, Prima-1. The 125 I-labeled nanocomposites display an impressive tumor imaging as well as a long radiation treatment cycle. The 131 I-labeled nanoparticles show remarkable anti ATC-tumor effects in vitro and in vivo, due to radiosensitization of Prima-1 by reactivation of the p53 mutants.

Cadmium is an environmental metal pollutant that has been a focus of research in recent years, which is reported to cause bone disease; however, its skeletal toxicity and the mechanism involved are not yet fully known. Therefore, this study used MC3T3-E1 subclone 14 cells to determine the mechanism of cadmium toxicity on bone. Cadmium chloride (Cd) significantly reduced cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Exposure to Cd inhibited osteoblast-related proteins (Runx2, Col-1, STC2) and decreased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Cd caused Exportin-1 accumulation and induced DNA damage. Cd significantly down-regulated caspase 9 and induced cleaved-PARP, cleaved-caspase 3 protein level. Treatment with JNK inhibitor, SP600125, suppressed cadmium-induced elevation in the ratio of phosphorylation of JNK to JNK. Inhibition of caspase with pan-caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK, prevented MC3T3-E1 subclone 14 cells from cadmium-induced reduction of Runx2, STC2, caspase 9, and accumulation of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase 3. Cd-induced cell survival enhanced by SP600125 but rescued by Z-VAD-FMK or KPT-335. These results suggest that cadmium cytotoxicity on bone involved exportin 1 accumulation, phosphorylation of JNK, induction of DNA damage and pro-apoptosis, which was induced by activation of caspase-dependent pathways.

Propagation chains with 1,2 and 2,1 last-inserted monomer unit in 1-hexene polymerization with MgCl 2 -supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts were quench-labeled by thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride, and the two kinds of 2-thenoyl-labeled chain ends were determined by 1 H NMR analysis. The number of labeled chains was noticeably smaller than the number of dead chains formed by chain transfer with alkylaluminum cocatalyst, and grew with time more slowly than the latter, showing that side reactions between the quencher and Al-polymeryl moieties are negligible. The active sites with 2,1 last-inserted monomer were halted in dormant state, which lead to their gradual accumulation in the 30 s polymerization process. The catalyst containing phthalate type internal donor has higher percentage of dormant sites as compared with the catalyst containing diol ester. The combination of acyl chloride quench-labeling and 1 H NMR analysis forms a reliable and easily accessible method of tracing and characterizing active sites in transition metal catalyzed olefin polymerization.

Hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propanols is highly promising for the sustainable development of biomass refining. In this work, modified amorphous zirconium phosphate (ZrP)-supported Pt catalysts were developed and characterized thoroughly by X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, Fourier transform infrared spectra of adsorbed pyridine, temperature-programmed reduction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area. The as-obtained catalysts were employed for selective glycerol hydrogenolysis to 1-propanol (1-PO) in a fixed-bed reactor. Owing to the incorporation of WOx, both the total acidity and the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles were enhanced significantly. The Pt/7WOx-ZrP catalyst could afford 81% yield of 1-PO at full conversion of glycerol in a long-term catalytic stability test (at least 70 h reaction time) and was regenerated by calcination in air. The results of the catalytic activity test and catalyst characterization indicated that the acid sites of the catalysts promoted the selective dehydration of glycerol into acrolein, whereas the Pt sites facilitated H2 dissociation and a sequential hydrogenation of acrolein into 1-PO.

The development of a simple and durable catalytic system for the production of chemicals from a high concentration of a substrate is important for biomass conversion. In this manuscript, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was converted to 1-hydroxy-2,5-hexanedione (HHD) using the combination of commercial Pd/C and acetic acid (AcOH) in water. The influence of temperature, H2pressure, reaction time, catalyst amount and the concentration of AcOH and HMF on this transformation was investigated. A 68% yield of HHD was able to be obtained from HMF at a 13.6 wt% aqueous solution with a 98% conversion of HMF. The resinification of intermediates on the catalyst was characterized to be the main reason for the deactivation of Pd/C. The reusability of the used Pd/C was studied to find that most of the activity could be recovered by being washed in hot tetrahydrofuran.Keywords:HMF;1-hydroxy-2,5-hexanedione;acetic acid;Pd/C;high concentration

In the present work, the nature of phase evolution of (1− x )(Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 )TiO 3 - x SrTiO 3 (NBT- x ST) solid solutions with x of 0–0.6 is revealed by characterizing the dielectric and ferroelectric properties. Two unique dielectric anomalies associated with high-temperature nanoregions (PNRs) in the ergodic relaxor (ER) state and low-temperature PNRs in the nonergodic relaxor (NR) state are identified. Characteristic temperatures, including T B , T RT∗ , T m , T d and T T ∗ , are determined in fresh and poled states on the basis of the characteristics of the evolution of these two dielectric anomalies. The whole evolution of the transition from the NR state to the ER state is reflected by the temperature-dependent polarization versus electric field ( P - E ) hysteresis loops, i.e., from the square loops, via the double-like loops, to the slim loops. The characteristic temperatures, including T P-N , T N-R and T R-dis , are determined by the characteristics of the evolution of P - E loops. Accordingly, a phase diagram of NBT- x ST was constructed according to these characteristic temperatures. Most importantly, the relationship between polarization responses and heterogeneous polar phase coexistence has been established and a schematic diagram is given. This work will help to understand the phase evolution and its impact on the macroscopic properties of NBT and the associated NBT-based solid solutions.

With altering molecular dipole moments via lateral fluoro atom and π-conjugation through carbon–carbon triple bond, improved mesomorphic behaviour is achieved for new kind of fluorinated mesogenic compounds containing ethynyl and 1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole moieties, namely, 2-[4-[2-[4-(alkoxy) phenyl]ethynyl]-3-fluorophenyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole derivatives (nPEF(3)PMx). The compounds nPEF(3)PMx mainly display enantiotropic nematic mesophases with mesophase ranges of 27.1–59.1 °C and 62.7–96.7°C on heating and cooling for nPEF(3)PMH, 59.499.1°C and 96.2–144.6°C for nPEF(3)PMM, and 101.6–109.4°C and 104.9–157.2°C for nPEF(3)PMN (n < 8), respectively. Compared with nonfluorinated reference analogues I, nPEF(3)PMx give obviously lower melting points and much wider or comparable nematic mesophase ranges, meanwhile, they show much lower melting points and higher nematic mesophase stability than reference analogues II because of their reduced molecular dipole moments and enhanced π-conjugation. In addition, the compounds nPEF(3)PMx are composed of benzene ring, ethynyl bridge and benzimidazole mesogenic unit, therefore, they have high birefringence of 0.48–0.62 resulted from their large π-conjugated molecule. The result indicates that nPEF(3)PMx has a potential application in liquid crystal mixture.

Background This study is to explore the role of curcumin and GLUT-1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS-ODN) on autophagy modulation-initiated radiosensitivity. Methods BALB/c mice were employed to establish xenograft model using Tu212 cell. The expression of autophagy- and apoptosis-related proteins was determined by WB. Autophagosome was observed under transmission electron microscope. Apoptosis of tumor tissue were detected by TUNEL staining. Results Combinations of curcumin and GLUT-1 AS-ODN with 10 Gy inhibited the tumor growth by inducing apoptosis of laryngeal cancer cells followed with the enhancement of autophagy. 3-MA also had a promotion effect on irradiation-mediated growth inhibition possibly by depressing PI3K and on curcumin/GLUT-1 AS-ODN-mediated growth inhibition potentially by regulating autophagic events. Of note, a de-escalation of radiotherapy dose (5 Gy) along with curcumin, GLUT-1 AS-ODN or 3-MA produced a stronger effect than high dosage of radiotherapy (10 Gy) alone. Conclusions Curcumin and GLUT-1 AS-ODN improve the radiosensitivity of laryngeal carcinoma through regulating autophagy and inducing apoptosis.
