A series of biodegradable nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have been designed utilizing poly(β-amino ester)-guanidine-phenylboronic acid (PBAE-G) polymers. In this study, a novel Lentinan-Functionalized PBAE-G-nanodiamond system was developed to carry ovalbumin (LNT-PBAE-G-ND@OVA). The impact of this drug delivery system on the activation and maturation of macrophages was then assessed. Furthermore, LNT-PBAE-G-ND@OVA induced potent antibody response and showed no obvious toxicity in vitro and in vivo . Moreover, treatment with LNT-PBAE-G-ND@OVA was sufficient to alter the expression of genes associated with the cGAS-STING pathway, and the LNT-PBAE-G-ND@OVA induced upregulation of costimulatory molecules. LNT-PBAE-G-ND@OVA treatment was sufficient to induce macrophage activation through a complex mechanism in which cGAS-STING signaling plays an integral role.

Herein, a ternary TiO 2 /MIL-88A(Fe)/g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction is successfully constructed through a facile hydrothermal strategy for enhancing solar energy harvesting and efficiency of catalytic nitrogen reduction induced by enlarged light absorption range, increasing interfacial charge transfer ability and desirable stability. Under the simulated sunlight irradiation, the N 2 fixation experiment shows that the yield of NH 3 reaches 1084.31 μmol/(g·h) over the TiO 2 /MIL-88A(Fe)/g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst, and the yield is significantly enhanced, which is 33.68 and 13.94 times that is higher than the pure TiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 , respectively. In a mean time, the excellent performance of the photocatalytic N 2 fixation over the ternary TiO 2 /MIL-88A(Fe)/g-C 3 N 4 is verified based on density function theory calculation and the decisive step over the composite is investigated by calculating Gibbs free energies of nitrogen reduction paths. The performance enhancement mechanism of TiO 2 /MIL-88A(Fe)/g-C 3 N 4 is speculated, which indicates that the hybridized three-component system presents a desirable Z-scheme band alignment, resulting in the improvement of separation and transfer efficiency of photoinduced charge carriers. The article shows a new and high-efficiency TiO 2 /MIL-88A(Fe)/g-C 3 N 4 photocatalysis for excellent nitrogen reduction ability.

The construction of a heterojunction and the introduction of a cocatalyst can both promote the transfer of photogenerated electrons, which are effective strategies to enhance photocatalytic efficiency. In this paper, a ternary RGO/g-C3N4/LaCO3OH composite was synthesized by constructing a g-C3N4/LaCO3OH heterojunction and introducing a non-noble metal cocatalyst RGO through hydrothermal reactions. TEM, XRD, XPS, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photo-electrochemistry and PL tests were carried out to characterize the structures, morphologies and carrier separation efficiencies of products. Benefiting from the boosted visible light absorption capability, reduced charge transfer resistance and facilitated photogenerated carrier separation, the visible light photocatalytic activity of the ternary RGO/g-C3N4/LaCO3OH composite was effectively improved, resulting in a much increased MO (methyl orange) degradation rate of 0.0326 min−1 compared with LaCO3OH (0.0003 min−1) and g-C3N4 (0.0083 min−1). Moreover, by combining the results of the active species trapping experiment with the bandgap structure of each component, the mechanism of the MO photodegradation process was proposed.

In this study, a new type of compatibilizer, benzamide-grafted polyethylene polyamine (PEPA) containing solvent chain (PDABA-g-PEPA-O) was prepared from PEPA, 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) and Oleoyl chloride (OC) and used to modify sisal microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The natural rubber (NR) was filled with the modified MCC to prepare composites. The compatibilization effect of the prepared compatibilizer on the NR/MCC/PEPA-g-PDABA-O composites was investigated and its compatibilization mechanism was analyzed by molecular dynamics simulation (MD). The results show that adding 3wt% (calculated by MCC mass) PDABA-g-PEPA-O can improve the interfacial interaction between NR and MCC. The highest tensile strength of the NR composites was 25.319 MPa when 2.5phr MCC and 3wt% of PDABA-g-PEPA-O were added and is improved by 13.07% compared with that of NR/2.5phr MCC composites. In addition, the MD results showed that the amide and amine groups in the molecular structure of PDABA-g-PEPA-O formed a strong hydrogen bond and a strong van der Waals interaction with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose and PDABA-g-PEPA-O exhibited good compatibility with NR, which achieved the purpose of compatibilization. Moreover, the properties of tensile, deformation and shear resistance of the composites were enhanced with the addition of PDABA-g-PEPA-O in molecular simulation. The MD results provided a basis for the molecular design and preparation of compatibilizers and understanding their compatibilization mechanism in the polymer composites at a molecular level.

Constructing 2D/2D face-to-face heterojunctions is believed to be an effective strategy to enhance photocatalytic performance due to the enlarged contact interface and increased surface active sites. Herein, 2D porous NiCo oxyphosphide (NiCoOP) was synthesized for the first time and coupled with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanosheets to form 2D/2D heterojunctions via an in-situ phosphating method. The optimal 4 wt.% 2D/2D NiCoOP/g-C 3 N 4 (OPCN) photocatalyst achieves a hydrogen evolution rate of 1.4 mmol·h −1 ·g −1 , which is 33 times higher than that of pure g-C 3 N 4 . The greatly improved photocatalytic performance of the composite photocatalysts could be attributed to the formation of interfacial surface bonding states and sufficient charge transfer channels for accelerating carrier separation and transfer and the porous structure of NiCoOP nanosheets with abundant surface active sites for promoting surface reactions. Amazingly, the 2D/2D OPCN composite photocatalysts also exhibit superior stability during photocatalytic reactions. This study not only designs new noble-metal-free NiCoOP/g-C 3 N 4 composite photocatalysts but also provides a new sight in fabricating face-to-face 2D/2D heterojunctions for their application in energy conversion areas.

Parkinson’s disease (PD), known as a neurodegenerative disease, is characterized by movement disorders, with increasing age being the predominant risk factor for its development. Mangiferin, a bioactive compound isolated from mango, shows potent neuroprotection. In our work, we investigated the neuroprotection and mechanisms of mangiferin against PD. We established PD models by treating SH-SY5Y cells with rotenone and mice with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and investigated the therapeutic effects of mangiferin. Our results showed that mangiferin exhibited a cell-protective effect. Mangiferin also improved the motor behavior and attenuated the activation of microglia and astrocytes in MPTP mice. In addition, mangiferin decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and increased glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Mangiferin also markedly activated GIT1, p-ERK, Nrf2, HO-1, and SOD expression and inhibited Keap1 expression in vitro and in vivo. To further investigate the role of GIT1, GIT1 siRNA was used. In the presence of GIT1 siRNA, the neuroprotection of mangiferin in PD was weakened. Our results indicate that mangiferin exhibited its therapeutic effect against PD by regulating GIT1 and its downstream Keap1/Nrf2 pathways. Our studies exhibited that mangiferin showed neuroprotection in PD, and its main target was GIT1. What is more, mangiferin could reduce the oxidative stress of PD by targeting GIT1 and its downstream Keap1/Nrf2 pathways. These indicated that mangiferin is a good candidate for PD therapy. However, the role of p-ERK in mangiferin-treated PD requires further investigation.

Herein, five common G4 sequences have been selected, including three different length of telomere DNA, hemin aptamer, and thrombin aptamer, to synthesize Cu nanoclusters (Cu NCs) in-situ. All G4s are proper templates for Cu NCs with low temperature treatment. The particles (G4-Cu NCs) smaller than 3 nm in diameter were obtained and showed light green fluorescence. This is the first report of metal clusters templated by G4s in-situ. As proof of the concept, hemin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were used as the targets to test whether the system can monitor the interaction between G4s and its substrate. The results suggest that G4-Cu NCs can indicate the behavior of G4 and its interaction with hemin, and sensing ALP is achieved with the aid of ATP. The linear ranges of hemin and ALP are 300–4000 nM and 10–500 U/L, respectively, and the corresponding limits of detection as low as 97 nM for hemin and 2.8 U/L for ALP. Moreover, this present system has been successfully applied for the detection of ALP in human serum samples with satisfactory recoveries. This synthesis approach is universal, and it can be easily extended to evaluating the formation of G4, or monitoring the interaction between G4 and its substrate, or selective targeting individual G4, or sensitive detection of other important biomarkers by changing template G4 sequence.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) is a promising photocatalyst with lots of merits, such as visible light driven (200–1000 nm), cost-effective and high stability. However, the single g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst is limited in its performance due to the high complexation rate of photogenerated electrons and holes and the confined specific surface area. Herein, a S-scheme heterojunction catalyst involving tubular g-C 3 N 4 (TCN) and TiO 2 is designed and constructed via precursor reforming strategy with subsequent hydrothermal calcination process. The tubular structure offers more active centers, conducive to light absorption and contact with pollutants, while the heterojunction facilitates the transfer and separation of electrons and holes. Thus, the TCN/TiO 2 catalyst exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity with degradation efficiencies for methylene blue (MB) and tetracycline (TC) reaching 96.6 % and 100 %, respectively, as well as high degradation efficiency for other dyes (Congo red and Eosin y). Besides, TCN/TiO 2 catalyst demonstrates outstanding stability and potential for practical application. An innovative S-scheme heterojunction system has shown remarkable potential for improving the separation and transferring electron-hole pairs, as well as delivering stronger redox capability. This work provides a promising strategy for the preparation of g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 catalyst for the effective treatment of contaminated water.

A new metal-free O-doped and pyridine-grafted g-C 3 N 4 (OCN/Py) was prepared and used to degrade tetracycline (TC) with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as oxidant under visible light irradiation. Doping of O and graft of Py into CN framework could enhance the separation of photogenerated charge carriers, the adsorption of PMS and TC, as well as PMS activation. Experiments and theoretical calculations confirmed that the OCN/Py-PMS* complex was formed and mediated electron transfer for degrading TC. In addition, the ⋅O 2 − , •OH, surface-bound SO 4 •− , 1 O 2 , especially holes contributed to TC removal. 97.0 % TC was degraded after 60 min visible light irradiation in the presence of 0.16 g L –1 OCN/Py and 0.5 mM PMS. The corresponding total organic carbon removal ratio and apparent rate constant were 97.37 % and 0.0568 min −1 , respectively. This work provides an effective way to change CN structure for boosting TC degradation, and gives deep insights for the relationship among photogenerated charge separation, PMS activation and TC degradation.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has received much attention as a metal-free polymeric two-dimensional photocatalyst for antibiotic-free antibacterial application. However, the weak photocatalytic antibacterial activity of pure g-C 3 N 4 stimulated by visible light limits its applications. Herein, g-C 3 N 4 is modified with Zinc (II) meso -tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (ZnTCPP) by amidation reaction to enhance the utilization of visible light and reduce the recombination of electron-hole pairs. The composite (ZP/CN) is used to treat bacterial infection under visible light irradiation with a high efficacy of 99.99% within 10 min due to the enhanced photocatalytic activity. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and density flooding theory calculations indicate the excellent electrical conductivity between the interface of ZnTCPP and g-C 3 N 4 . The formed built-in electric field is responsible for the high visible photocatalytic performance of ZP/CN. In vitro and in vivo tests have demonstrated that ZP/CN not only possesses excellent antibacterial activity upon visible light irradiation, but also facilitates the angiogenesis. In addition, ZP/CN also suppresses the inflammatory response. Therefore, this inorganic–organic material can serve as a promising platform for effective healing of bacteria-infected wounds.
