The heterogeneously tandem catalytic synthesis is a step-economic and work-up-saving strategy for producing chemicals, but it usually requires a special catalyst to achieve the sequential catalytic reactions . The development of metal organic frameworks provides an opportunity to fabricate multifunctional catalysts. In this work, a MOF-based sandwich-nanostructure catalyst UiO-66-NH 2 @Pt@PCN-222 is fabricated, which is made of the UiO-66-NH 2 as the core, Pt nanoparticles as the interlayer, and the defective PCN-222 as the shell. The developed catalyst shows outstanding performance for the tandem catalytic synthesis, which is the hydrogenation of nitroarenes cascaded with β-dicarbonyl compounds to form β-ketoenamines. The selectivity of β-ketoenamines reached 98% upon the completed hydrogenation of p-nitrotoluene. The stable PCN-222 shell can be regarded as an active armor, which not only protects the Pt particles from leaching or agglomerating, but also has plenty of acid sites that are conducive to the second-step condensation. At the same time, the kinetic studies show that the armor layer also affects the activity of hydrogenation, so that the hydrogenation and condensation reactions can proceed simultaneously to give the best selectivity. Various substituted dicarbonyl compounds and structurally different nitroarenes completed the conversion with excellent conversion (90–99%) and selectivity (87–98%), and this nanocatalyst can be recycled for up to six cycles without the expense of activity.

Constipation is a major health concern worldwide, requiring effective and safe treatment options. This study mainly focused on three species and nine strains of bifidobacteria from different sources to study their abilities to relieve constipation induced by loperamide in BALB/C mice. By monitoring constipation-related indicators, it was found that only Bifidobacterium longum (B. longum) relieved constipation, which indicated that bifidobacteria had inter-species differences in relieving constipation. Furthermore, through the detection of biological, chemical, mechanical, and immune barriers in mice, it was discovered that B. longum upregulates the relative abundance of 22 genera that were positively related to faecal water content, small intestinal propulsion rate, acetate, propionate, and intestinal mechanical barrier and negatively correlated with inflammatory factors, AQP8 and the time of first black stool and downregulates the relative abundance of Akkermansia. Furthermore, it increased the level of acetate in faeces and reduced the expression of AQP8 in the colon. This enhances intestinal motility and improves water and electrolyte metabolism. Meanwhile, it inhibited inflammation and prevented loperamide-induced intestinal barrier damage in constipated mice by upregulating occludin and downregulating IL-1β and TNF-α. In summary, B. longum relieved constipation by regulating the intestinal barrier in constipated mice.

The traditional strategy to improve material stability is to cover the surface with a shell to resist adverse environmental factors. For the red-emitting fluoride materials with easily hydrolyzed Mn 4+ on the surface, many strategies have been reported with limited effectiveness. In this work, simultaneous construction of an impermeable dual-shell on Mn 4+ -doped fluoride is proposed to solve the instability problem by a simple pyruvic acid (PA) treatment. The internal quantum efficiency of the K 2 SiF 6 :Mn 4+ with dual-shell can be optimized up to 99.71%, the photoluminescence intensity can maintain 88.5% of the original intensity after soaking in water for 360 h, and the body color is not changed even in boiling. The reduction effect of the PA solution builds a hard fluoride shell by removal of the surface Mn 4+ , and the hydrogen bonding effect of PA molecular leads to the formation of a soft organic shell. The dual-shell can effectively block the damage of fluoride by external water molecules and achieve a significant improvement in water stability. The dual effect of PA is derived from its special molecular structure containing α -ketone carbonyl and carboxyl groups. This hypothesis is supported by the results of the moisture resistance of fluoride-treated with a variety of solvents similar in molecular structure to PA. In addition, DFT calculations simulated various hydrogen bond structures that may be formed between PA molecules and fluoride surface atoms.

This study was conducted to investigate the prebiotic potential ofChlorella pyrenoidosapolysaccharides to provide useful information for developingC. pyrenoidosaas a green healthy food.C. pyrenoidosapolysaccharides were prepared and their physicochemical characteristics were determined. The digestibility and fermentation characteristics ofC. pyrenoidosapolysaccharides were evaluated using in vitro models. The results revealed thatC. pyrenoidosapolysaccharides were composed of five non-starch polysaccharide fractions with monosaccharide compositions of Man, Rib, Rha, GlcA, Glc, Gal, Xyl and Ara.C. pyrenoidosapolysaccharides could not be degraded under saliva and the gastrointestinal conditions. However, the molecular weight and contents of residual carbohydrates and reducing sugars ofC. pyrenoidosapolysaccharides were significantly reduced after fecal fermentation at a moderate speed. Notably,C. pyrenoidosapolysaccharides could remarkably modulate gut microbiota, including the promotion of beneficial bacteria, inhibition of growth of harmful bacteria, and reduction of the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes. Intriguingly,C. pyrenoidosapolysaccharides can promote growth ofParabacteroides distasonisand increase short-chain fatty acid contents, thereby probably contributing to the promotion of intestinal health and prevention of diseases. Thus, these results suggested thatC. pyrenoidosapolysaccharides had prebiotic functions with different fermentation characteristics compared with conventional prebiotics such as fructooligosaccharide, and they may be a new prebiotic for improving human health.Keywords:Chlorella pyrenoidosa;polysaccharides;fermentation;gut microbiota;prebiotic

Black tea is a healthy and popular tea beverage. However, its main bioactive compounds (theaflavins and thearubigins) are not easily absorbed. The aim of this study was to investigate the modulation of intestinal microbiota by the nonabsorptive components of Keemun black tea (KBT) and Dianhong black tea (DBT), and fructooligosaccharide (FOS) was selected for use in the control group. KBT, DBT, and FOS significantly increased total short-chain acid production. Specifically, FOS treatment predominantly increased the production of acetic acids and black tea treatments increased the production of acetic, propionic, and butyric acids at similar rates. Moreover, FOS exerted a strong bifidogenic effect after 24 h of fermentation; KBT and DBT increased the abundance of the beneficial genus Bacteroides and Roseburia . In summary, the nonabsorptive components of KBT and DBT could serve as novel prebiotics, the underlying mechanisms of which are quite different from those of FOS.

In this study, the polysaccharides extracted from Dendrobium officinale leaf (DOLP) was used in immune deficiency mice to evaluate the bioactivity. Thymus and spleen indices were calculated while the alleviation of the colon and liver histopathological progression was evaluated by H&E staining. The data indicated that DOLP improved immunity status by restoring the gut barrier and atrophy of immune organs. Cytokines levels as marker of inflammation were determined using ELISA in serum and colon. Which proved that DOLP inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF- α , TGF- β 1, IL-6, IL-1 β ) and promoted the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10). Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) levels and microbial composition in feces were determined using GS and high-throughput sequencing. DOLP improved gut microbiota by increasing the relative abundance of total bacteria and probiotics such as Bacteroides , Lactobacillus and Lachnospiraceae. Therefore, DOLP has potential effect for the treatment of chronic immune diseases.

Scope Ample evidence supports the prominent role of gut-liver axis in perpetuating pathological networks of high-fat high-fructose (HFF) diet induced metabolic disorders, however, the molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood. Herein, this study aims to present a holistic delineation and scientific explanation for the crosstalk between the gut and liver, including the potential mediators involved in orchestrating the metabolic and immune systems. Methods and Results An experimental obesity-associated metaflammation rat model is induced with a HFF diet. An integrative multi-omics analysis is then performed. Following the clues illustrated by the multi-omics discoveries, putative pathways are subsequently validated by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. HFF diet leads to obese phenotypes in rats, as well as histopathological changes. Integrated omics analysis shows that there exists a strong interdependence among gut microbiota composition, intestinal metabolites, and innate immunity regulation in the liver. Some carboxylic acids may contribute to gut-liver communication. Moreover, activation of the hepatic LPS-TLR4 pathway in obesity is confirmed. Conclusion HFF-intake disturbs gut flora homeostasis. Crosstalk between gut microbiota and innate immune system mediates hepatic metaflammation in obese rats, associated with LPS-TLR4 signaling pathway activation. Moreover, α-hydroxyisobutyric acid and some other organic acids may play a role as messengers in the liver-gut axis.

The work presented here describes a highly sensitive and simple electrochemical sensor for the detection of Sudan I dye based on a nanocomposite made of MoS2 heterogeneous nanosheets (1T@2H-MoS2) and carboxylated carbon nanotubes (cMWCNTs) (1T@2H-MoS2/cMWCNTs). XPS results indicate that the content of 1T phase MoS2 was estimated to be 72% in 1T@2H-MoS2. Electron microscopy results show that the tubular cMWCNTs are uniformly interwoven in MoS2 nanosheets to form a three-dimensional network structure. Due to the synergistic electrocatalytic ability and high electroactive surface area, the 1T@2H-MoS2/cMWCNTs modified electrode demonstrated excellent analytical performance for Sudan I, including simple operation, good stability and a wide linear range from 5.00 × 10−9 to 2.00 × 10−6 mol L−1 and 2.00 × 10−6 to 1.00 × 10−4 mol L−1 with an ultra-low detection limit of 1.56 × 10−9 mol L−1. The recoveries of Sudan I from spiked real samples (chilli powder and ketchup) were in the range of 95.60% to 106.10% with low RSD (<5%), indicating that the 1T@2H-MoS2/cMWCNTs modified electrode is a promising tool for the analysis of illegal Sudan I in food samples.

In this work, we synthesized Fe-Tcpp@ICG(ICG, Indocyanine green) with light stimuli-response through 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (Fe-Tcpp) loaded ICG by electrostatic adsorption. The morphology and properties of Fe-Tcpp and Fe-Tcpp@ICG were characterised by ultraviolet–visible absorption spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analyzer and transmission electron microscope , respectively. A non-enzymatic photoelectrochemical sensor based on Fe-Tcpp@ICG was constructed to quantitatively detect hydrogen peroxide in tumor microenvironment . Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of detecting hydrogen peroxide was 0.01–50 mmol/L with detection limit of 0.2 μmol/L (S/N = 3). This sensor proposed a simple, fast, sensitive and label-free method for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the results also showed that the Fe-Tcpp@ICG can catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to generate singlet oxygen, which can kill tumor cells. These indicated that this material was expected to be used for detecting hydrogen peroxide and inhibition of tumor cell growth.

HPLC-UV analysis in rat everted gut sac and in vitro simulated digestion models indicated that hydroxytyrosol fatty acid esters (HTy-Es) could be hydrolyzed by pancreatic lipase to slow-release of free fatty acids (FAs) and HTy. Meanwhile, the HTy-Es, the liberated FAs and the HTy could cross the membrane and were transported into blood circulation. HTy-Es were further hydrolyzed by carboxylesterase in in vitro rat plasma hydrolysis model, which also showed slow-release of FAs (C1-C4) and HTy. Especially, the rates of hydrolysis and transport initially increased and then decreased with the increasing alkyl chain length. Besides, the above rates of the HTy-Es with a straight chain were greater than those of its isomer with a branched chain. Therefore, the above-mentioned continuous and slow-release of FAs and HTy in small intestine and blood clearly demonstrated that HTy-Es would be an effective approach to enhance oral bioavailabilities of free fatty acids and hydroxytyrosol.

Longan pulp polysaccharide is a bioactive component with prebiotic activity and intestinal barrier protection. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of digestion and fermentation on the bioavailability and intestinal barrier protection of polysaccharide LPIIa from longan pulp. The molecular weight of LPIIa didn’t change significantly after gastrointestinal digestion in vitro . After fecal fermentation, 56.02% of LPIIa was consumed by gut microbiota. The short-chain fatty acid level in LPIIa group was 51.63% higher than that in blank group. LPIIa intake also increased short-chain fatty acid production and G-protein-coupled receptor 41 expression in the colon of mice. Moreover, LPIIa improved the relative richness of Lactobacillus , Pediococcus , and Bifidobacterium in colon content . Compared to LPIIa, fecal fermented LPIIa better protected intestinal epithelial barrier by increasing Zonula occludens-1 expression. These results provided an important basis for the design of functional food based on longan polysaccharides to prevent intestinal barrier damage related diseases.

The reduction of soluble U(VI) to insoluble U(IV) precipitates by visible light is an environmentally friendly and highly effective strategy to remove uranium from uranium-containing radioactive wastewater . Herein, a porous hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) of UPC-H4a was self-assembled by intermolecular hydrogen bonds of 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-(2,4-diaminotriazine)phenyl) porphyrin to remove U(VI) from aqueous solution. UPC-H4a has high crystallinity with permanent porosity, excellent photocatalytic property, good chemical stability, and strong photocatalytic reducibility. The experiments showed that UPC-H4a removed 98.18% of U(VI) after illumination for 120 min, with high selectivity , strong ion interference resistance, and good reusability. A real low-level radioactive wastewater was employed to estimate the potential of UPC-H4a for practical application and its removal rate can reach 66.14% in the presence of redox competing metal ions , exhibiting great potential for practical application. The DFT calculations and EPR spectra revealed that a more negative electrostatic potential of DAT-porphyrin and the formed intermolecular hydrogen bonds in UPC-H4a can facilitate the participation of photogenerated electrons in the O 2 /∙O 2 – reaction, and the radical of ∙O 2 – was proved to be the critical participant in U(VI) photoreduction . The discovery of UPC-H4a in this work will help to develop more potential applications of HOFs as photocatalysts in radioactive wastewater treatment .
