One pot cascade of enzymatic catalysis was applied for d -allulose synthesis from d -glucose by the combination of d -glucose isomerase (GI) from Escherichia coli MG1655 and d -allulose 3-epimerase (DAE) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58. The synthesis process was investigated by characterizing the initial substrate concentration, molar ratios of GI and DAE, the enzyme loading, and contents of cobalt and magnesium ions. The increase of enzyme loading and the molar ratios of GI vs DAE caused the raising of d -allulose yield from 4% to 9%, verifying that the generation rate of d -fructose was an essential factor for rare sugar conversion improvement. The optimal enzyme loadings required for reactions with substrate concentrations of 100 g L −1 and 200 g L −1 were 60 U and 200 U. Kinetics stimulation was conducted to reveal the underlying relationship within the three sugars converted by dual-enzyme, with the fitting curve validated the reliability of the model.

Taxane-based chemotherapy-loaded drug delivery systems have great potential for cancer treatment. The docetaxel (DTX)-loaded PAMAM-based poly (γ-benzyl-l-glutamate)-b-d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (PAM-PBLG-b-TPGS) nanoparticles and the docetaxel (DTX)-loaded PAMAM-based poly (γ-benzyl-l-glutamate) (PAM-PBLG) nanoparticles were designed using a modified nanoprecipitation method. The particle size, encapsulation efficiency (EE), and in vitro release characteristics of the nanoparticles were tested. The effects of the two nanoparticles on the cellular uptake and cell viability on human cervical cancer cell line Hela and the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 were compared. Furthermore, their antitumor efficiency was evaluated through in vivo tumour growth experiment in comparison with free DTX. PAM-PBLG-b-TPGS nanoparticles displayed high EE, smaller diameter, and a nice releasing profile. Besides, based on the high EE and ‘self-controlled’ drug release of the DTX-loaded PAM-PBLG-b-TPGS nanoparticles, they exhibited stronger cytotoxicity (lower survival rate) and higher uptake rate than DTX-loaded PAM-PBLG nanoparticles in Hela cells and MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, compared with DTX-loaded PAM-PBLG nanoparticles and free DTX, DTX-loaded PAM-PBLG-b-TPGS nanoparticles produced a potent anti-tumour effect. Thus, the DTX-loaded PAM-PBLG-b-TPGS nanoparticles provide a novel attractive nanocarrier for the DTX delivery of chemotherapy to human breast cancer cells and human cervical cancer cells.

Six tridentate NNN ligand precursors derived from 2-(pyridin-2-yl)benzo[d]thiazole(PBT) with different linkers, PBT NN X N (X = NH, NMe, O, S) ( 1a – 1f ), have been successfully prepared. The electronic properties of PBT NN X N ligands are well tunable by differing linkers between PBT skeleton and the pyridine ring, and/or by introducing electron-donating/withdrawing groups on the pyridine ring (R = OMe or F). The ligand precursors and representative complexes Ru ( PBT NN NH N )Cl 2 (PPh 3 ) ( 2a ), Ru ( PBT NN NMe N )Cl 2 (PPh 3 ) ( 2b ), and Ru ( PBT NN S N )Cl 2 (PPh 3 ) ( 2f ) have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The molecular structures of 1f , 2a , and 2f have been determined by X-ray diffraction study. The results indicate that PBT NN NH N ligand in the complex presented coplanar with two five-membered chelating rings. It should be noted that 2a featuring a NH group exhibits superior performance compared to those with other linkers (such as NMe, O, or S). A variety of heterocyclic and aromatic nitriles with aromatic and aliphatic alcohols have been explored in α -alkylation for good to excellent yields. Based on kinetic experiments and mechanistic studies, a proposed mechanism was put forward. Ru-H species and benzaldehyde, which was oxidized from benzyl alcohol, were detected in the catalytic cycle.

Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) plays a vital role in various physiological activities. Its efficient detection in exhaled breath condensate (EBC), a highly promising noninvasive diagnostic matrix, is of great significance for the early diagnosis of diseases. However, complex biological components present in EBC impede efficient H 2 O 2 detection. Herein, we synthesize an H 2 O 2 probe, TPEB , which demonstrates excellent sensing performance in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and EBC. TPEB exhibits turn-on fluorescence signal generated through H 2 O 2 -triggered hydrolysis, releasing TPEN , a compound with characteristic aggregation-induced emission properties. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations reveal a molecular transformation from the donor–acceptor (D–A) structure of TPEB to the D–D′ structure of TPEN . Leveraging this transformation, the probe achieves a limit of detection (LOD) of approximately 0.1 μM in a DMSO/PBS buffer solution for H 2 O 2 , with excellent selectivity and stability. To enhance its portability and applicability, a probe film is fabricated by depositing TPEB nanoparticles onto a filter paper. This film exhibits stronger emission than TPEB in the DMSO/PBS buffer solution and achieves a lower LOD of 0.01 μM. The probe film enables effective H 2 O 2 detection in complex matrices, such as cell culture medium and EBC, demonstrating potential for practical point-of-care testing applications.

In recent years, biomass-derived carbon electrode materials for energy storage have attracted intensive attention in terms of their natural unique structure, widespread availability and low cost. Herein, a unique hierarchical porous carbon composite material (CGCM@GNS&CNT) was facilely constructed on 3-D carbon skeleton by anchoring 2-D graphene nanosheet (GNS) and 1-D carbon nanotube (CNT) through self-assembling method. The CGs with abundant macroscopic pores were utilized as 3D carbon skeleton, CNT and GNS anchored on them were applied to enhance the specific surface area (SSA) and electrical conductivity. The composite material exhibits large SSA of 460 m 2 g −1 , interconnected conductive network and inherent N, O doping. The CGCM@GNS&CNT electrode achieves a high areal capacitance of 441 mF cm −2 and volumetric capacitance of 90 F cm −3 at 1 mA cm −2 in 1.5 M Na 2 SO 4 electrolyte. More importantly, the CGCM@GNS&CNT-based symmetric supercapacitor affords a remarkable energy density of 31 μWh cm −2 at a power density of 800 μW cm −2 in 1.5 M Na 2 SO 4 . The capacitance retention and coulombic efficiency can retain 102.5% and 100.5% over 2000 cycles, respectively, confirming its superb charge/discharge stability and long-term reversibility. These signify that CGCM@GNS&CNT material holds a considerable promise for electrode application in high-performance supercapacitor.

Thermodynamically driven biosynthesis of D-tagatose attracts increasing attention because it overcomes the reaction equilibrium caused by aldose isomerization or ketose epimerization. Specific aldose reductase and D-galactitol 2-dehydrogenase may drive the conversion of D-galactose to D-tagatose through galactitol as the intermediate. In this study, a novel D-galactitol 2-dehydrogenase was identified from a Rhizobiaceae bacterium with the NCBI accession No. of MDF1774848. The enzyme was expressed in His-tagged form and purified by one-step nickel-affinity chromatography. The recombinant enzyme showed the highest activity at pH 9.5 and 30 °C. It showed galactitol as the optimal substrate and D-sorbitol as the second substate. It's in vivo D-tagatose production ability was verified in a metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strain. Using a previously constructed galactitol-producing strain as a chassis microbe, genomic integration of this D-galactitol 2-dehydrogenase gene resulted in the efficient production of D-tagatose with a titer of 1.85 g/L.

en This link goes to a English section zh This link goes to a Chinese section Photocatalytic acetylene (C 2 H 2 ) semihydrogenation is a green route for ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) production, yet the activity–selectivity trade-off caused by imbalanced adsorption/activation of reactants and products remains a core challenge. Herein, we realize precise regulation of Pd oxidation states (Pd 0 , Pd δ + , and Pd 2+ ) on anatase TiO 2 nanocubes via a mild reduction strategy, fabricating a Pd δ + /TiO 2 photocatalyst with intermediate valence of Pd sites. Systematic characterizations and theoretical calculations reveal that Pd δ + optimizes the d-π/d-π* orbital interactions between Pd and C 2 H 2 /C 2 H 4 , achieving a moderate adsorption strength that balances efficient C 2 H 2 activation and rapid C 2 H 4 desorption. Pd 0 causes overadsorption/overhydrogenation, whereas Pd 2+ leads to weak substrate activation. Consequently, Pd δ + /TiO 2 achieves nearly 100% C 2 H 2 conversion and ∼90% C 2 H 4 selectivity, with a record-high turnover number (TON) of ∼4.1 × 10 4 and excellent cycling stability. This work clarifies the electronic mechanism of Pd valence engineering in carrier dynamics and modulating orbital hybridization, providing a new strategy for the rational design of C 2 H 2 semihydrogenation photocatalysts. 摘要 en This link goes to a English section zh This link goes to a Chinese section 光催化乙炔(C 2 H 2 )半加氢是一种制备乙烯(C 2 H 4 )的绿色路径,但反应物与产物吸附与活化不均衡引发的活性-选择性权衡问题仍是核心难题。本文通过温和还原策略,在锐钛矿二氧化钛纳米立方体上实现钯氧化态(Pd 0 、Pd δ + 、Pd 2+ )的精准调控,制备出活性位点为中间价态钯的 Pd δ + /TiO 2 光催化剂。系统表征与理论计算结果表明,Pd δ + 能够优化钯与C 2 H 2 /C 2 H 4 之间的d-π/d-π* 轨道相互作用,形成适中的吸附强度,兼顾高效活化乙炔与乙烯快速脱附, Pd 0 会造成吸附过强并引发过度加氢,而Pd 2+ 对底物活化能力较弱。因此,Pd δ + /TiO 2 可实现接近 100% 的乙炔转化率和约 90% 的乙烯选择性,周转数(TON)高达4.1 × 10 4 ,同时具备优异的循环稳定性。该研究阐明了调控钯价态对载流子动力学及轨道杂化进行调控的电子作用机制,为乙炔半加氢光催化剂的合理设计提供了新思路。

A simple and accurate magnetic electrochemical sensor is developed for the ultrasensitive chiral recognition of D-amino acids (D-AAs). Fe 3 O 4 @Au@Ag@Cu x O nanoparticles (NPs) (x = 1, 2) are controllable prepared and used as the electrochemical beacons. The controllable integration of plasmonic metal NPs, semiconductors and magnetic NPs enables multilayered Fe 3 O 4 @Au@Ag@Cu x O NPs to display a sharp copper stripping peak at -0.16 V, owning to the electron transfer from Cu + to Cu 2+ and the synergistic electron transfer of Au and Ag double layers. D-AAs can be catalyzed by D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) to produce H 2 O 2 . The autocatalytic oxidation reaction of Cu x O shell with the existence of H 2 O 2 induces the decrease of electrochemical signals of Fe 3 O 4 @Au@Ag@Cu x O NPs. Fe 3 O 4 @Au@Ag@Cu x O NPs served as electrochemical beacons achieve the sensitive and accurate enantioselective recognition of D-alanine (D-Ala) in the range from 100 pM to 10 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 52 pM. This developed protocol can be extended to the fabrication of a large set of electroactive labels by the introduction of plasmonic metal NPs with high electron transfer efficiency, for the reliable enantioselective recognition with high sensitivity.

Peripheral nerve injury is a complex condition presenting significant clinical treatment challenges due to the limited regenerative capacity of peripheral nerves. Nerve conduits have been seen as a promising strategy to overcome the shortage of other treatment options (e.g., nerve graft). However, nerve regeneration occurs within a complex environment, and elaborate modulation is needed to meet repair requirements. The aim of this study was to investigate and explore a multifunctional nerve conduit with reactive oxygen species clearing, immune modulation to reshape the regenerative environment, and topographic cues and electrical signals to guide nerve growth. We developed an electroactive nerve guidance conduit composed of polylactic-glycolic acid and carbon nanotubes with an oriented structure using electrospinning and modified it with mussel-inspired polydopamine combining neurotrophin-3. The resulting nerve scaffold exhibited favorable orientation, electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties. Continuous release of neurotrophin-3 from the nerve conduit supported nerve regeneration throughout the repair process. In vitro assessments confirmed the cytocompatibility, reactive oxygen species scavenging, and immune regulation capabilities of the nerve scaffolds. In a rat sciatic nerve defect model, the nerve scaffolds effectively prevented muscle atrophy and promoted nerve regeneration and functional recovery over a 12-week period. These findings suggest that polydopamine-modified, electroactive, oriented nerve guidance conduits with multiple bioactive functions hold great promise for the repair of peripheral nerve injuries.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment is a severe sequela of cerebral ischemia, with its underlying mechanisms remaining elusive and specific diagnostic biomarkers currently lacking. Growing evidence suggests that secondary neurodegeneration is closely associated with post-stroke cognitive impairment, although its metabolic basis has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the spatiotemporal changes and metabolic characteristics of secondary neurodegeneration and cognitive function after cortical stroke. We established a photothrombotic mouse model for post-stroke cognitive impairment research and conducted longitudinal assessments with final endpoints at 14, 32, and 84 days postsurgery. Voxel-based morphometry analysis of whole-brain regions using magnetic resonance imaging revealed that only the hippocampus exhibited gray matter alterations consistent with secondary neurodegeneration pathology. Morris water maze and open field tests demonstrated persistent impairments in recent and remote memory, along with anxietylike behaviors in photothrombotic mice. Untargeted metabolomic and lipidomic analyses were established to comprehensively characterize secondary neurodegeneration-related metabolic disturbances in the hippocampus, highlighting pathophysiological mechanisms involving oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and disrupted energy metabolism. These important mechanisms were verified by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence staining, and real-time polymerase chain reaction. The screened potential biomarker, N -acetylneuraminic acid, was validated via targeted metabolomics in both photothrombotic mouse serum and 148 clinical samples, showing significant elevation in both cohorts. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and decision curve analysis confirmed the clinical utility of N -acetylneuraminic acid in diagnosing post-stroke cognitive impairment (area under the curve = 0.951, 95% confidence interval: 0.903–0.980). Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining revealed that N -acetylneuraminic acid activates microglia-driven neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Our findings elucidate a potential pathological mechanism of post-stroke cognitive impairment: cortical stroke induces hippocampal accumulation of N -acetylneuraminic acid, which promotes microglial oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby triggering hippocampal secondary neurodegeneration and leading to persistent cognitive deficits. Importantly, N -acetylneuraminic acid serves as a dual-functional biomarker capable of predicting post-stroke cognitive impairment progression while dynamically tracking secondary neurodegeneration.

The influence of temperature, light, solution pH, water stress, salt stress, and burial depth on seed germination and seedling emergence of catchweed bedstraw and the sensitivity of that weed to commonly available herbicides in China were studied in laboratory and greenhouse. Germination occurred at day/night temperatures from 5/0 C to 30/25 C, with optimum germination at 15/10 C. Catchweed bedstraw germinated equally well under a 12-h photoperiod and continuous darkness; however, a 24-h photoperiod inhibited seed germination. Catchweed bedstraw seed is moderately sensitive to osmotic potential and salt stress, with 15 and 3% germination rates at an osmotic potential of −0.5 Mpa and salinity level of 120 mM, respectively. Maximum seed germination was observed in near neutral pH; germination was greater than 80% over a broad pH range from 5 to 8. Seedling emergence of the seeds buried at a depth of 1 cm was higher (74%) than those placed on the soil surface (20%), but declined with burial depth increasing. Few (10%) seedlings emerged when seeds were placed at a depth of 5 cm. Bensulfuron-methyl, and ethametsulfuron-methyl applied PRE and tribenuron-methyl, fluroxypyr, and florasulam applied POST can be used to provide greater than 80% control of catchweed bedstraw. The results of this study have contributed to more complete understanding of the germination and emergence of catchweed bedstraw.

Vascular calcification (VC), a major complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD), is predominantly driven by osteoblastic differentiation. Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of microRNAs in CKD’s pathogenesis. Here, our research focused on the effects of miR-204-5p and its molecular mechanisms within VC. We initially found a notable decrease in miR-204-5p levels in human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells stimulated with inorganic phosphate, using this as a VC model in vitro. Following the overexpression of miR-204-5p, a decrease in VC was observed, as indicated by alizarin red S staining and measurements of calcium content. This decrease was accompanied by lower levels of the osteogenic marker, runt-related transcription factor 2, and higher levels of α-smooth muscle actin, a marker of contractility. Further investigation showed that calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 1 (CAMK1), which is a predicted target of miR-204-5p, promotes VC. Conversely, overexpressing miR-204-5p reduced VC by suppressing CAMK1 activity. Overexpressing miR-204-5p also effectively mitigated aortic calcification in an in vivo rat model. In summary, our research indicated that targeting the miR-204-5p/CAMK1 pathway could be a viable strategy for mitigating VC in CKD patients.
