3-chloropropane-1, 2-diol (3-MCPD) esters are a kind of food processing contaminants that especially occur in edible oil . This study investigated the impact of various factors on the formation of 3-MCPD esters in edible oil models with sodium chloride as chlorine donator during heat processing . The amount of 3-MCPD esters generated in the models were positively correlated with the concentration of sodium chloride. Fe 3+ could significantly promote the formation of 3-MCPD esters. The formation of 3-MCPD esters also depended on pH value of oil, heating temperature and time. The highest level of 3-MCPD esters were obtained at pH 4.0 (2925.3 μg/kg), at 220 °C (9509.8 μg/kg) and for 8 h (4852.4 μg/kg), respectively. 3-MCPD esters were generated much more in the continuous heating model than in the intermittent one. The results are valuable to better understand the formation of 3-MCPD esters and also can provide references for reduction of 3-MCPD esters during edible oil processing and household cooking.

Glycosylation profiling is an effective methodology for achieving a comprehensive understanding of glycoproteins and their alterations in a multitude of pathological conditions. However, in comparison to N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation presents significant challenges in terms of both qualitative and quantitative mass spectrometric analyses. A recently developed oxidative release protocol enables the selective formation of O-glycans containing a carboxyl group derived from the amino acid residue. In this study, 3-nitrophenylhydrazine was used to derivatize the common carboxyl group in a mild hydrophilic solution. Derivatization resulted in the generation of a series of report ions for serine, threonine, sialic acid, and O-acetylated sialic acid residues, thereby facilitating the identification of O-glycans and their attached amino acid residues, as well as the determination of the number of O-acetyl groups. A total of 65 O-glycans can be identified from bovine mucin. Furthermore, the analytical strategy revealed that O-acetylated N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac)-containing O-glycans from horse serum exhibited distinctive fragmentation patterns in comparison to those from bovine mucin. Additionally, the presence of deaminoneuraminic acid (KDN)-containing O-glycans was successfully confirmed in fish intestinal tissue. These findings suggest that this method provides an economical and potentially valuable tool for large-scale O-glycosylation studies in complex biological samples.

Industrialization and agricultural demand have both improved human life and led to environmental contamination. Especially the discharge of a lot of poisonous and harmful gases, including ammonia, ammonia pollution has become a pressing problem. High concentrations of ammonia can pose significant threats to both the environment and human health. Therefore, accurate monitoring and detection of ammonia gas are crucial. To address this challenge, we have developed an ammonia gas sensor using In(OH) 3 /Ti 3 C 2 T x nanocomposites through an in-situ electrostatic self-assembly process. This sensor was thoroughly characterized using advanced techniques like XRD, XPS, BET, and TEM. In our tests, the I/M-2 sensor exhibited remarkable performance, achieving a 16.8% response to 100 ppm NH 3 at room temperature, which is a 3.5-fold improvement over the pure Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene sensor. Moreover, it provides swift response time (20 s), high response to low NH 3 concentrations (≤ 10 ppm), and excellent long-term stability (30 days). These exceptional characteristics indicate the immense potential of our In(OH) 3 /Ti 3 C 2 T x gas sensor in ammonia detection. Graphical Abstract

The single-phase, cubic-structured Ba 3 La(PO 4 ) 3 ceramics were synthesized using the traditional solid-state reaction method. The ceramic sintered at 1375 °C exhibited a relative density of 95.4 %, indicative of a dense microstructure and excellent sintering characteristics. Furthermore, they displayed remarkable microwave dielectric properties : ε r = 9.54, Q × f = 32820 GHz, and τ f = −43.1 ppm/°C. In addition, the relative density is positively correlated with ε r and Q × f of ceramics. According to the complex chemical bond theory, the ionicity of the Ba/La–O bond has a more significant impact on the ε r , while the lattice energy and bond energy of the P–O bond respectively dominate the Q × f and τ f values. Moreover, the results from Raman spectroscopy indicate that several prominent Raman bands are associated with the vibration of the P–O bond. These findings suggest that Ba 3 La(PO 4 ) 3 ceramics hold promise for applications in high-frequency microwave communication.

The escalating threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and fungi underscores an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. This study aimed to synthesize and evaluate the antimicrobial activities of two series of 3-alkylidene-2-indolone derivatives. We synthesized 32 target compounds, among which 25 exhibited moderate to high antibacterial or antifungal activities. Notably, compounds10f,10g, and10hdemonstrated the highest antibacterial activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.5 μg/mL, matching the activity of the positive control gatifloxacin against three Gram-positive bacterial strains:Staphylococcus aureusATCC 6538, 4220, and Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureusATCC 43300. Moreover, the three most active compounds10f,10g, and10hwere evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity in the HepG2 cancer cell line and L-02; only compound10hwas found to exert some level of cytotoxicity. These findings suggest that the synthesized 3-alkylidene-2-indolone derivatives hold potential for further development as antibacterial agents.

3-Methyl-1-butanol (3MB) is a promising biofuel that can be produced from 2-ketoisocaproate via the common l -leucine biosynthesis pathway. Corynebacterium glutamicum was chosen as a host bacterium because of its strong resistance to isobutanol. In the current study, several strategies were designed to overproduce 3MB in C. glutamicum through a non-fermentation pathway. The engineered C. glutamicum mutant was obtained by silencing the pyruvate dehydrogenase gene complex ( aceE ) and deleting the lactic dehydrogenase gene ( ldh ), followed by mutagenesis with diethyl sulfate (DES) and selection with Fmoc-3-4-thiazolyl- l -alanine (FTA). The mutant could produce 659 mg/L of 3MB after 12 h of incubation. To facilitate carbon flux to 3MB biosynthesis, the engineered recombinant was also constructed without branched-chain acid aminotransferase ( ilvE ) activity by deleting the ilvE gene. This recombinant could produce 697 mg/L of 3MB after 12 h of incubation.

In recent years, researchers have discovered that self-assembled monolayer functionalized surfaces could improve the gas-sensing performance of semiconductor oxide-based sensors. In the present work, metal-organic framework material ZIF-8 was selected as the self-sacrificial template, and then ZIF-8 materials were calcined at a high temperature to obtain ZnO nanoparticles . Subsequently, the surface of ZnO was modified to install a single layer of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). In comparison with the pure ZnO-based sensor, the sensor based on 0.5 vol% APTES/ZnO had higher response to 2-butanone. The response has remarkably improved mainly due to APTES molecules capture electrons from the surface of ZnO to widen the electron depletion layer . In addition, the amine (–NH 2 ) group of the APTES monolayer enhanced the specific interaction between the sensing material and 2-butanone, thereby the performance of the sensor was improved. After functionalization with 0.5 vol% APTES, the lower detection limit of the sensor reached as low as 200 ppb, while that of the pure ZnO-based sensor was 500 ppb.

Inorganic scintillation crystals have been widely used in applications of high-energy physics, nuclear medical imaging, industrial nondestructive inspection, etc. In this work, a single crystal Ba3Y(PO4)3(BYP) with 1.0 at% Ce3+-doping concentration was first grown by the Czochralski method, and the electronic structure was calculated using first principles based on density functional theory. In addition, a series of Ce3+-doped BYP phosphors were synthesized, and the fluorescence emission under UV excitation was measured through low-temperature spectroscopy, containing double-peaked emission from 5d–4f transition and self-trapped exciton recombination. A comparison of the UV and X-ray-excited fluorescence spectra reveals the existence of oxygen vacancies as well as F+ centers in the crystal. The air annealing of the crystal effectively reduces the thermoluminescence defects but reduces the emission intensity under UV or X-ray excitation. The BYP:Ce crystal shows a fast decay lifetime of 15.5 ns, and the fast component is as short as 8 ns. The results show that the Ce3+-doped BYP crystal has potential as a kind of scintillator with fast decay properties.

Ce 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 was synthesized by a simple reflux method using cerium nitrate hexahydrate and ammonium molybdate as reactants. The as-prepared Ce 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in model oil was studied using Ce 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 as catalyst and oxygen as oxidant. The reaction factors such as reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, and sulfide type on sulfur removal were researched. The results prove that both Ce 3+ and MoO 4 2- play significant role in the conversion from DBT to DBTO 2 . The Ce 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 catalyst has an excellent performance for the sulfur removal of DBT. Under the optimum reaction conditions, sulfur removal of 99.6% was obtained. After recycling five times, no significant loss in catalyst activity of Ce 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 . Mechanism of aerobic oxidative desulfurization was proposed based on the experiment of free radical capture and infrared characterization.

The specific-targeting approach could promote the specificity of diagnosis and the accuracy of cancer treatment. The choice of a specific-targeting receptor is the key step in this approach. Glypican-3 (GPC3) is an oncofetal proteoglycan anchored on the cell membrane. It is overexpressed even in the early stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), whereas it shows almost no expression in the healthy adult liver. Therefore, GPC3 may be applied as a specific-targeting receptor for HCC theranostics. In this study, a GPC3 specific-targeting theranostics nanodevice, GPC3 targeting peptide (named G12)-modified liposomes co-loaded with sorafenib (SF) and IR780 iodide (IR780), was developed (GSI-Lip), which aims to realize early diagnosis and precise chemo-photothermal therapy of HCC. SF was the first-line chemotherapy drug for the treatment of HCC. IR780 was used for photothermal therapy and near-infrared fluorescence imaging. The evaluation of early diagnosis verified that early-stage tumors (3.45 ± 0.98 mm3, 2 days after 5 × 105 H22 cells’ inoculation in mice) could be clearly detected using GSI-Lip, which was significantly more sensitive than folic acid-modified liposomes (p < 0.01, 32.90 ± 10.01 mm3, 4 days after 1 × 106 H22 cells’ inoculation in mice). The study of the endocytic pathway indicated that specific G12/GPC3 recognition may induce caveolae-mediated endocytosis of GSI-Lip. Notably, the accumulation of GSI-Lip in tumors was significantly increased compared with that observed with folic acid-modified liposomes (p < 0.01). Specific-targeting endowed the precise antitumor effect of GSI-Lip. GSI-Lip showed a higher antitumor efficacy in comparison with folic acid-modified liposomes (inhibition rate: 90.52% vs 84.22%, respectively; p < 0.01). During a period of 21 days, the synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy (GSI-Lip + laser) exhibited a better antitumor effect versus GSI-Lip without laser (inhibition rate: 94.93% vs 90.52%, respectively; p < 0.01). Overall, GPC3-targeted GSI-Lip promoted the sensitivity and specificity of HCC early diagnosis and achieved synergistic efficacy of chemo-photothermal theranostics, which has potential clinical applications. Furthermore, the present study revealed that a more specific-targeting ligand could further improve the efficacy of theranostics against HCC.

Trivalent rare earth Eu3+-doped luminescent materials have been used successfully for illumination and displays due to their narrow emission lines and extreme stability. Extending the excitation band to the UV, near UV and blue region via doping lanthanide ions as a sensitizer is highly desired for white LED application. However, the complex redox reaction and forward/backward energy-transfer pathway between the sensitizer ion and Eu3+ ion in the same lattice of the phosphor host limits the potential of this strategy. Herein, we present the luminescence properties of hierarchical porous composite materials with the formula Tb(C12H8N2)2(NO3)3@Ca0.9Eu0.1MoO4 and report how interfacial energy-transfer enhanced the absorption range of the Eu3+-doped material in the UV region. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images illustrated that the obtained Ca0.9Eu0.1MoO4 had a hierarchical porous structure, and the Tb(C12H8N2)2(NO3)3 was evenly filled inside the holes or the surface. The photoluminescence and decay data indicated the existence of interfacial forward energy transfer from Tb3+ → Eu3+. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the composited Tb(C12H8N2)2(NO3)3 was improved, indicating the potential of the composite materials for application in UV light-emitting diodes.
