This study explores the synergistic effect of T-CUS 245C combined with cyclosporin A, and its possible mechanism. T-CUS 245C is an immunotoxin conjugated with tastuzumab and recombinant cucurmosin 245C (CUS 245C ). Cyclosporin A is a calcium antagonist mainly used as an immune-suppressive agent, which enhances the cytotoxicity of immunotoxins through an unknown mechanism. The sulforhodamine B assay, flow cytometry, DNA fragmentation apoptosis assay, and western blot analysis were used to evaluate the synergistic effects of cyclosporin A combined with T-CUS 245C on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells with HER-2-overexpressing. Meanwhile, using confocal microscopy and flow cytometry, the effect of cyclosporin A on the intracellular distribution of T-CUS 245C was observed and quantified. The results of this study showed that the combination index of cyclosporin A combined with T-CUS 245C is less than 0.7, indicating that cyclosporin A significantly enhances the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction induced by T-CUS 245C in SK-OV-3 cells. The confocal microscopy and flow cytometry results show that cyclosporin A effectively increases the dispersion of T-CUS 245C in the cytoplasm by promoting the endolysosomal escape. This study demonstrates that cyclosporin A combined with T-CUS 245C has a synergistic anticancer effect, by facilitating the release of T-CUS 245C in the intracellular space. Graphical Abstract

Tissue degeneration due to diseases, accidents, and wars is a worldwide issue. One of the methods used by regenerative medicine (RM) to aid tissue repair is by using a biodegradable tissue engineering scaffold (TES). Different body tissues have variable regeneration abilities, and hence, they require TES with variable degradation rates. This paper focuses on synthesising four polyurethane foam scaffolds (PUFS) with variable degradation rates based on the concentration of incorporated chain extender (CE) poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (P3HB). The polyol employed is poly (propylene fumarate) (PPF) along with aliphatic 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). GPC provided the molecular weight (M n = 455.67 g mol −1 , M w = 587.15 g mol −1 ) and PDI (1.29) of the PPF. FTIR and 1 H and 13 C NMR confirmed the proposed structures (C C, COOR, and NHCOO) of the PUFS. The FESEM images revealed a bimodal pore structure , with random, irregular, interconnected pores (242–340 µm) and discrete void spaces (735–860 µm). The size of PUFS pores and void spaces (PU4 > PU3 > PU2 > PU1) is directly proportional to their respective degradation rates. The TGA/DTA curves show a decrease of an onset thermal decomposition temperature from PU1 to PU4 (267.17 ºC PU1, 267.28 ºC PU2, 256.01 ºC PU3 and 240.72 ºC PU4) due to the respective increase in CE concentration. The results of in-vitro degradation analysis at day 70, revealed significant difference between the weight loss (%) of each group (PU1 = 4.09 ± 0.18%, PU2 = 8.03 ± 0.17%, PU3 = 13.14 ± 0.12% and PU4 = 20.21 ± 0.19%). Thus, PUFS with a higher concentration of P3HB have a faster degradation rate due to the associated P3HB hydrolysable ester/-COOR functional group within the PUFS backbone. The chemical structure , bimodal morphology, and variable degradation rate of these PUFS could be employed for various RM applications.

NASICON-type cathodes as promising candidates have attracted more and more attention, and Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is one of the outstanding representatives. In particular, it can tolerate complex interface reaction processes during the Zn 2+ insertion/desertion in the aqueous environment. However, existing three-dimensional channels in the intrinsic Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 always hardly play to their advantages as narrow pathways and some other defects. This work has considered both the conductivity and capacity of this vanadium-based NASICON cathode at the same time, where a sodium-rich cathode material Na 3.2 V 1.8 Mn 0.15 Mg 0.05 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVMMP) with Mn 2+ and Mg 2+ dual-substituents has been designed considering the low cost and environmentally friendly characteristics. The synergistic effects introduced by Mn 2+ and Mg 2+ substitution led to a significant increase in the capacity and cycle life of the optimized NVMMP cathode material (with a capacity retention rate of 90.6 % after 2500 cycles at 2 A g −1 ). Furthermore, the reversible storage mechanism of Zn 2+ in NVMMP cathode materials and the theoretical study of such synergistic substitution on intrinsic electronic conductivity have been revealed by different in/ex-situ characterization techniques and theoretical calculations, where redox processes generated by Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ , enhanced ionic/electron pathway, and the pinning effect caused by injecting inert MgO 6 octahedra into the NASICON framework are key points to high capacity and long-life span.

The biological process, 3-O-galactosylation, is important in plant cells. To understand the mechanism of the reduction of flavonol antioxidative activity by 3-O-galactosylation, myricetin-3-O-galactoside (M3OGa) and myricetin aglycone were each incubated with 2 mol α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•) and subsequently comparatively analyzed for radical adduct formation (RAF) products using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS) technology. The analyses revealed that M3OGa afforded an M3OGa–DPPH adduct (m/z873.1573) and an M3OGa–M3OGa dimer (m/z958.1620). Similarly, myricetin yielded a myricetin–DPPH adduct (m/z711.1039) and a myricetin–myricetin dimer (m/z634.0544). Subsequently, M3OGa and myricetin were compared using three redox-dependent antioxidant analyses, including DPPH•-trapping analysis, 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide radical (PTIO•)-trapping analysis, and•O2inhibition analysis. In the three analyses, M3OGa always possessed higher IC50values than those of myricetin. Conclusively, M3OGa and its myricetin aglycone could trap the free radical via a chain reaction comprising of a propagation step and a termination step. At the propagation step, both M3OGa and myricetin could trap radicals through redox-dependent antioxidant pathways. The 3-O-galactosylation process, however, could limit these pathways; thus, M3OGa is an inferior antioxidant compared to its myricetin aglycone. Nevertheless, 3-O-galactosylation has a negligible effect on the termination step. This 3-O-galactosylation effect has provided novel evidence that the difference in the antioxidative activities of phytophenols exists at the propagation step rather than the termination step.

An facile and green one-pot route has been developed for the synthesis of chromenes using salicylaldehyde and α,β-unsaturated ketones. α-Amylase from Bacillus subtilis shows excellent catalytic activity and exerts good adaptability to different substrates in the reaction. This promiscuous enzyme-catalyzed domino reaction not only extends the application of α-amylase from B. subtilis for new chemical transformations, but also provided an alternative synthetic method for 2 H -chromene derivatives.

As an important component of the lithium ion batteries, the separator has attracted much attention by researchers. In this paper, a polymer electrolyte separator based on the blended polymer of polyvinylidene fluoride and cellulose acetate was obtained via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS), meanwhile, the Al(OH) 3 particles was used as the addition doping into the blended polymer matrix. The structure, for example, pore size, porosity and the crystallization of the resulting separators were characterized. The thermal stability, ionic conductivity and electrochemical performance were also investigated. The results indicated that the PVDF-CA/Al(OH) 3 separator presented high porosity (68.6%), high electrolyte uptake (403.9%), especially superior thermal stability (thermal shrinkage ratio was 4.6% at 160 °C) and excellent ionic conductivity (2.85 mS cm −1 ). In addition, the rate capability (128.28 mA h g −1 at 8 C) and cycle performance (151.97 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 1 C) were also superior to those of the commercial polypropylene separator, demonstrating that the PVDF-CA/Al(OH) 3 separator can be a promising separator for the high-safety and high-rate dischargeable lithium ion battery.

The measurements of the liquid–liquid coexistence curve and the heat capacity for binary mixture {1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C2mim][NTf2]) + 1-propanol} have been precisely performed. The values of the critical exponents α and β in the critical region were obtained and coincided well with the 3D-Ising ones. The complete scaling theory was applied to well represent the asymmetric behavior of the diameter of the coexistence curve, indicating an important role of the heat capacity related term in the complete scaling formulizm. A comparison of the reduced critical parameters to those predicted by the restricted primitive model clearly showed the solvophobic criticality of the studied system.

Nanowire poly (3,4-dihydro-2 H -thieno [3,4- b ] [1,4]dioxepin-3-yl)methanol (PProDTM) free-supporting films with conductivities around 1.92 S cm −1 were prepared using a template-free electropolymerization method. The structure, morphology, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the PProDTM films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis . Moreover, the capacitance performances of PProDTM films were investigated in aqueous and organic electrolytes (acetonitrile (ACN) and dichloromethane (DCM)). In 0.1 M H 2 SO 4 , a symmetrical supercapacitor based on PProDTM exhibited specific capacitance of 89.2 F g −1 at a current density of 1.0 A g −1 , an energy density of 3.1 Wh kg −1 at power density of 0.5 kW kg −1 and the cycling capacitance retention was 74.8% after 5000 cycles. As the scan rate and current density increased, the specific capacitance of PProDTM films clearly decreased in DCM, but no obvious changes occurred in water and ACN. In ACN containing 0.1 M Bu 4 NBF 4 , a symmetrical supercapacitor based on PProDTM exhibited specific capacitance of 99.6 F g −1 at a current density of 1.0 A g −1 , an energy density of 3.5 Wh kg −1 at power density of 0.5 kW kg −1 and the cycling capacitance retention was 82.2% after 5000 cycles. These results imply that our flexible free-supporting PProDTM films are promising for future use in supercapacitors .

Red-light-emitting materials, as pivotal components of warm white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), have drawn increasing public focus. Among these, Mn4+-doped red light-emitting fluorides have drawn considerable attention when combined with an InGaN chip; however, they suffer from poor water stability under humid conditions. In this work, a novel fluoride red phosphor, Cs30(Nb2O2F9)9(OH)3·H2O:xMn4+ (CNOFM), with good water resistance was synthesized for the first time using a facile co-precipitation method at ambient temperature. Experiments were implemented for the precise analysis of its crystal structure, optical properties, micro-morphology, thermal behavior, and waterproof properties. 6.66% Mn4+-doped CNOFM maintained a stable crystal structure and possessed strong PL intensity located at 633 nm with high color purity of 96%. CNOFM showed better thermal and waterproof stability compared with the commercial K2SiF6:Mn4+ red phosphor. Without any surface modifications, the PL intensity remained at about 83% of the initial value after immersion in water for 60 min, and the mechanism was investigated. Finally, a warm WLED with a CRI of 92.3 and CCT of 3271 K was fabricated using the CNOFM red phosphor.

Li 2 Mg 3 Ti 1-X (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) X O 6 (0 ≤x ≤ 0.25) ceramics were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction process. Their crystal structures, sintering characteristics, Raman spectra and microwave dielectric properties were then investigated. XRD patterns of the sintered samples indicated that all compositions showed a single phase and the rock-salt structure. As the (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 4+ contents increase, the variations of ε r values showed a downward trend, which could be explained by the changes of polarizabilities and the shift of Raman vibration modes. Q·f values initially increased to a maximum value and then decreased with increasing of x values. In addition, τ f values decreased almost linearly with the x values, which significantly correlated with the thermal expansion coefficient. Excellent combined microwave dielectric properties with ε r = 14.79, Q·f = 204,900 GHz and τ f = −18.43 ppm/°C were obtained for Li 2 Mg 3 Ti .95 (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) .05 O 6 ceramic sintered at 1550 °C.

Many phytopathogenic fungi cause severe damage to crop yields. In continuation of our research aimed at the discovery and development of natural products-based fungicides, a series of thirty-one sarisan attached 3-phenylisoxazolines were synthesized and evaluated for their antifungal activities against five phytopathogenic fungi ( B. cinerea , C. lagenarium , A. solani , F. solani , and F. graminearum ). Among all title sarisan derivatives, compounds IV2 , IV14 and IV23 showed potent antifungal activity against some phytopathogenic fungi. In particular, compound IV2 exhibited a broad-spectrum and more potent antifungal activity against A. solani , F. solani , and F. graminearum than the commercial fungicide Hymexazol. In addition, compounds IV2 , IV14 and IV23 also displayed relative low toxicity on normal NRK-52E cells. This work will give some insights into the development of sarisan derivatives as new fungicide candidates in plant protection. Graphical

ABSTRACT In this study, La(OH) 3 -loaded Juncus effusus (La-JE) with a three-dimensional structure was prepared via an in-situ precipitation and then wrapped in a cellulose membrane. The La-JE not only avoided the leakage of La(OH) 3 but also was separated from solution easily. The optimal pH for phosphate removal by the La-JE was 6. The removal rate of phosphate was positively correlated with adsorption time, La-JE dosage and reaction temperature, and negatively correlated with phosphate concentration. The adsorption process conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic model and was better fit by Freundlich model. At 25°C, the maximum adsorption capacity of the La-JE was 22.75 mg·P/g. The influence of SO 4 2– , Cl – , NO 3 – , NH 4 + , HCO 3 – and CO 3 2– on phosphate removal was negligible, suggesting that the La-JE had good anti-interference ability. Mechanism analysis showed that the removal process of phosphate was related to both ligand exchange and surface precipitation. The application in real water environment exhibited that the La-JE had good potential for advanced dephosphorization of sewage treatment plant and natural waterbody remediation.
