2-Ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) is a representative organophosphorus flame retardant (OPFR) that has garnered attention due to its widespread use and potential adverse effects. EHDPP exhibits cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, developmental toxicity, and endocrine disruption. However, the toxicity of EHDPP in mammalian oocytes and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Melatonin is a natural free radical scavenger that has demonstrated cytoprotective properties. In this study, we investigated the effect of EHDPP on mouse oocytes in vitro culture system and evaluated the rescue effect of melatonin on oocytes exposed to EHDPP. Our results indicated that EHDPP disrupted oocyte maturation, resulting in the majority of oocytes arrested at the metaphase I (MI) stage, accompanied by cytoskeletal damage and elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nevertheless, melatonin supplementation partially rescued EHDPP-induced mouse oocyte maturation impairment. Results of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis elucidated potential mechanisms underlying these protective effects. According to the results of scRNA-seq, we conducted further tests and found that EHDPP primarily disrupts mitochondrial distribution and function, kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) attachment, DNA damage, apoptosis, and histone modification, which were rescued upon the supplementation of melatonin. This study reveals the mechanisms of EHDPP on female reproduction and indicates the efficacy of melatonin as a therapeutic intervention for EHDPP-induced defects in mouse oocytes.

Severe burn wounds usually destroy key cells’ functions of the skin resulting in delayed re-epithelization and wound regeneration. Promoting key cells’ activities is crucial for burn wound repair. It is well known that keratinocyte growth factor-2 (KGF-2) participates in the proliferation and morphogenesis of epithelial cells while acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) is a key mediator for fibroblast and endothelial cell growth and differentiation. However, thick eschar and the harsh environment of a burn wound often decrease the delivery efficiency of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) to the wound site. Therefore, herein a novel microneedle patch for sequential transdermal delivery of KGF-2 and aFGF is fabricated to enhance burn wound therapy. aFGF is first loaded in the nanoparticle (NP aFGF ) and then encapsulated NP aFGF with KGF-2 in the microneedle patch (KGF-2/NP aFGF @MN). The result shows that KGF-2/NP aFGF @MN can successfully get across the eschar and sequentially release KGF-2 and aFGF. Additional data demonstrated that KGF-2/NP aFGF @MN achieved a quicker wound closure rate with reduced necrotic tissues, faster re-epithelialization, enhanced collagen deposition, and increased neo-vascularization. Further evidence suggests that improved wound healing is regulated by significantly elevated expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1ɑ) and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) in burn wounds. All these data proved that KGF-2/NP aFGF @MN is an effective treatment for wound healing of burns.

This work successfully synthesizes a new type of multi-layered flexible hybrid electrode (Cu/Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni) composing of bimetallic components, hierarchical porous structure and outstanding glucose electrocatalytic performance. The synthesis strategy includes a facile two-step approach, i.e. the Ni(OH) 2 nanolayer in-situ grows on a nanoporous Ni (np-Ni) network (Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni) via deionized water immersion and then the metallic Cu dendrites are uniformly deposited on Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni. Moreover, due to the hierarchical porous structure as well as synergetic effect of Ni(OH) 2 and Cu dual electroactive components, the Cu/Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni hybrid electrode electrodeposited with 1 min delivers wider linear range of 18 mM and higher sensitivity of 1.629 mA mM −1 cm −2 . The electrode possesses excellent interference immunity, reproducibility as well as long-time stability. In addition, the mechanism of electrochemical sensors for detecting glucose under alkaline conditions is briefly introduced. Accordingly, the flexible Cu/Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni electrode material shows promise for further development as a contender for wearable glucose sensors.

The high-temperature coal tar wash oil contains two valuable components, namely, quinoline and 2-methylnaphthalene. These two components are challenging to separate during the deep processing. To address this issue, the COSMO-RS (Conductor-like Screening Mode for Real Solvent) model was utilized to identify them as a potential deep eutectic solvents (DESs) extractant. Based on the calculated infinite dilution activity coefficient, the performance indexes of DESs , including selectivity, solubility, and performance index were determined and utilized to identify high-performance extractants for the quinoline/2-methylnaphthalene system. Finally five DESs were selected based on these indexes, they are DES1 formed by Choline chloride: propionic acid with the molar ratio of 1:1, similarly, DES2 is Choline chloride:oxalic acid of 1:1, DES3 Tetraethylammonium chloride:propionic acid of 1:1, DES4 Tetraethylammonium bromide:itaconic acid of 1:2 and DES5 Tetraethylammonium bromide:propionic acid of 1:2. The liquid–liquid phase equilibrium experiments of the aforementioned five DESs at different temperatures (30 ℃, 40 ℃, and 50 ℃) under atmospheric pressure were conducted. The results showed that five kinds of DESs had good extraction effect on quinoline. The DESs formed by choline chloride and anhydrous oxalic acid had the best extraction effect. The quantum chemical single-molecule optimization of different HBDs and HBAs in DESs, intermolecular interaction energy analysis and independent gradient modeling shows that it is mainly induced by the formation of shared electron pairs by providing empty orbitals from DESs and lone pair of electrons from the quinoline molecule, and the main force is the weak hydrogen bonding force.

Electrochemical selective dechlorination can be regarded as one of the most promising strategies for generating high-valued chemicals. In the electrochemical dechlorination process of 2-chloro-5-trichloromethylpyridine (TCMP), except the anticipated dechlorination products involving 2-chloro-5-dichloromethylpyridine (DCMP), 2-chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine (CCMP), and 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine (CMP), some unexpected oxygen-incorporated products (6-chloronicotinic acid (CNA) and 6-chloronicotinoyl methyl ester (MCN)) can be obtained. Consequently, understanding the electrochemical dechlorination behavior of TCMP is crucial. Our research revealed that the activated Ag electrodes in halide ion solution exhibit enhanced electrochemical activities for electrochemical dechlorination of TCMP, compared with the pure Ag owing to the increased active specific surface areas and charge transfer. Second, oxygen participation in the reaction is a necessary condition for the formation of oxygen-incorporated products. A 100% selectivity of oxygen-incorporated products can be obtained at the potential of −0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl. Conversely, insufficient oxygen may lead to the potential becoming the determining condition that affects the reaction pathways. A more negative potential (−1.2 V vs Ag/AgCl) is conducive to the formation of dechlorination products with 94.2% conversion and 100% selectivity. This study, for the first time, elucidates the electrocatalyst, atmosphere, and potential-dependent activity and selectivity for the two dechlorination pathways of TCMP.

Ionic liquid (IL)-based gel electrolytes (ionogels) show great potential as quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs) for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, conventional ionogels face challenges involving complex gelation processes, high gelator content (usually greater than 20 wt %), lower conductivity than neat ILs, and low Li + transference numbers. Here, we create novel lithium salt-containing supramolecular ionogels (SIGs) as efficient QSSEs for LIBs through a simple and environmentally friendly approach. By using a low-molecular-weight gelator, specifically 12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid, lithium-containing IL electrolytes can be solidified at a gelator concentration of only 2 wt %. The resulting physical ionogels exhibit remarkable characteristics, including high ionic conductivity similar to neat ILs and improved electrochemical stability. In addition, these SIGs demonstrate a distinctive thermally reversible gel-to-sol transition, a quality not attainable in other QSSEs. This feature promotes better electrode/electrolyte contact, enabling excellent battery performance using LiFePO 4 , LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 , and LiCoO 2 cathodes, along with Li metal and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 anodes.

Sulfur mustard (2,2′-dichloroethylsulfide; SM) is a bifunctional alkylating agent that can easily penetrate skin and cause persistent pain and damage. Effective biological dressings are required to treat wounds caused or poisoned by SM. Though the use of SM is regulated under the Chemical Weapons Convention, it is still a threat during wars and terrorist attacks. Herein, we present a photothermal-enhanced detoxification microneedles array (MNA) encapsulated with ZnIn 2 S 4 @UiO-66-NH 2 (ZnInS/UIO) catalysts for the treatment of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES, SM analog)-poisoned wounds under simulated sunlight (SSL) irradiation. Due to the excellent photothermal detoxification capability possessed by ZnInS/UIO, the conversion rate of CEES can be significantly increased under SSL exposure. When encased in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) MNA and piercing into the skin, ZnInS/UIO catalysts can be released quickly from MNA for detoxification. After applying the resultant ZnInS/UIO-MNA to the CEES-poisoned wound bed, acceleration of the wound healing process and a reduced inflammatory response can be confirmed. In conclusion, ZnInS/UIO-MNA has encouraging potential as a first-aid dressing for CEES-poisoned wound healing in battlefields and injuries related to acts of terrorism.

Demethylation modification of lignin is an effective strategy to overcome the barrier to its high-value conversion. The purpose of this study focuses on the new proton-based ionic liquid (PIL) 1, 2-propanediamine/glycolic acid (PD/GA) as a catalyst and solvent to achieve the targeted oxidation of lignin. The PD/GA solvents have higher selectivity and efficiency. Optimal phenolic hydroxyl (PH)-increment was achieved, demonstrating enhanced demethylating effect on lignin by modulating the acid-base molar ratio, reaction temperature, and reaction time. Compared to ethanolamine/acetic acid (CE/AC) treatment, the PD/GA treatment at molar ratio 1.25, temperature 60 °C, and 3 h increased the PH-content from 37.74 to 59.91 %. Additionally, the lignin treated with PD/GA exhibited excellent recyclability, featuring a larger Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area (1.45 m 2 .g −1 ), total pore volume (9.51*10 −3 cm 3 .g −1 ), and mesoporous size (26.15 nm). The treated lignin yielded maximum ultraviolet resistance and antioxidant activity. These results present new avenues for the development of green and efficient lignin demethylation methods.

The water-lean absorbent of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/2-(butylamino)ethanol (BAE)/H2O has recently been proposed for energy-efficient CO2 capture. The CO2/N2O analogy method can provide important fundamental data for its kinetic study. In this work, the physical solubility of N2O and CO2 in DMSO was measured in a static equilibrium cell at temperatures of (293.15–333.15) K. Solubility of N2O in BAE and the BAE/DMSO binary blends with 22.6, 34.9, and 61.8 mass % BAE was also determined. The effect of the water content on N2O solubility in the water-lean ternary blends with 61.8 mass % BAE was also discussed. The ratios of solubility of CO2 to N2O in polar solvents (i.e., DMSO and water) were found to be very close at temperatures of 323–333 K. Experimental solubility data and the ones calculated from the recommended correlation models match well with each other, with average absolute relative deviations within 0.9%.

Bamboo shoot is a healthy food rich in dietary fiber (DF). However, its highly insoluble DF and fibrous texture limit its application in industrially processed foods. To achieve industrial processing of bamboo shoot, cellulase was used to improve the physical characteristics of bamboo shoot DF in this study. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the content of soluble DF (SDF) of bamboo shoot increased by 99.28% (from 5.53% to 11.02%) significantly ( p < 0.01). At the same time, the effect of enzymatic-modified bamboo SDF (EMBSDF) on streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes rats was explored. Results demonstrated that the high dose of EMBSDF (312.8 mg/kg) treated rats showed significant improvements in terms of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity ( p < 0.01) compared with the diabetes rats. Meantime, it was observed that the levels of glucagon-like peptide-1, adiponectin and interleukin-4 of high dose of EMBSDF compared with diabetes rats were increased ( p < 0.01) by 57.79%, 159.13%, and 6.17%, respectively. The tumor necrosis factor-α, C-reactive protein, and leptin levels were decreased ( p < 0.01) by 62.89%, 31.53%, and 7.84%, respectively. Furthermore, apparent kidney and pancreas histology improvements were found in high-dose and mid-dose EMBSDF-treated diabetes rats. These results indicated that the modified DF significantly improved diabetes.

Construction of hierarchical pore structure in supported titanium silicalites was an effective strategy to enhance catalytic performance and avoid the separation process in industrial applications. Herein, the hierarchical TS-2 zeolites were successfully prepared on the TiO2-modified α-Al2O3 pellets by “bottom-up” method, which had good and stable catalytic performance for the allyl chloride epoxidation. TritonX-100 could construct a mesopore structure, restrain nucleation, and affect titanium coordination of the zeolites, which was beneficial for preparing large size, much hexa-coordination titanium content, and hierarchically supported TS-2 zeolites in this work. Besides, the TiO2-modified layer greatly increased the density and surface reactivity of hydroxyl groups on the α-Al2O3 pellet, which were well-situated to prepare homogeneous and anatase-free hierarchical TS-2 zeolite layers. The hierarchically supported TS-2 zeolites were applied to the epoxidation of allyl chloride with hydrogen peroxide, and allyl chloride conversion and epichlorohydrin selectivity were up to 99.13% and 96.53%, respectively.

This study investigated intestinal absorption and cellular antioxidant efficacy of anthocyanin (ACN)-loaded ovalbumin (OVA)-carrageenans (ι-, λC)/dextran sulfate (DS) nanocomplexes. Utilizing Caco-2 cells, we assessed endocytic pathways, intracellular trafficking, and delivery efficacy of ternary nanocomplexes. ACN-loaded nanocomplexes could be internalized by cells in a time-, dose-, energy-dependent manner, with macropinocytosis, lipid raft/caveolae, and actin co-mediated endocytosis routes playing pivotal roles. Nanocomplexes inhibited P-glycoprotein efflux of Rhodamine-123, enhancing the apparent permeability of ACN into cells, especially for OVA-ιC-ACN. Transport pathways of ACN-loaded nanocomplexes through Caco-2 monolayers involved different organelles including microtubules, Golgi complexes, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosomes. Compared to free ACN, nanocomplexes exhibited more efficiency in recovering cellular viability and endogenous antioxidant enzyme activities under oxidative stress. Our findings provide a more comprehensive understanding of internalization, transport mechanisms of protein-polysaccharide-anthocyanin nanocomplexes across epithelial cell monolayers, and provide valuable insights for designing efficient ACN-loaded nanocomplex systems with high transportation efficiency and intestinal absorption.
