Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have induced severe damage worldwide. A novel high-efficient antialgal natural chemical, 3-indoleacrylic acid (3-IDC) with a 5-day half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50, 5d ), was discovered from canola straw, and its algal inhibition mechanism was investigated. Adverse effects were observed on the growth of P. donghaiense with 3-IDC addition, following an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. 3-IDC also hindered the photosynthetic mechanism of P. donghaiense cells. Transcriptional results showed 3-IDC inhibiting the functions of all the nutrient assimilating genes, down-regulated ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase II, and cytochrome f genes. The expression of heat shock protein ( HSP ) 70 and 90 and rhodopsin genes were also suppressed. The binding affinity of investigated receptors was observed. The conformational changes induced by the spatial microstructural alteration through 3-IDC may further contribute to the perturbation of those enzyme catalytic activities. The present results provide new insights on controlling HABs using 3-IDC.

Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a serious disease with high mortality and morbidity, and effective treatment is limited. A large amount of evidence suggests that the inflammatory response contributes to secondary brain damage following ICH. TIPE2 is an essential negative regulator of both innate and adaptive immunity, and depletion of TIPE2 causes inflammatory disease. However, the possible role of TIPE2 following ICH has not been reported. Methods In this study, we investigated TIPE2 levels and inflammation in microglia treated with erythrocyte lysate in vitro. In addition, we analyzed the role of Bcl-2/Bax/cleaved caspase-3 apoptotic pathways in ICH mice. Furthermore, we observed proinflammatory cytokine production, BBB disruption, cerebral water content and neurological damage in ICH mice. Results We found that TIPE2 levels were significantly decreased in erythrocyte lysate-treated microglia compared to control microglia.Upregulation of TIPE2 decreased microglia activation and cytokine production and accelerated brain damage in ICH mice. Furthermore, upregulation of TIPE2 decreased the higher ratio of Blc-2/Bax and increased cleaved caspase-3 levels in ICH mice. In addition, upregulation of TIPE2 attenuated proinflammatory cytokine production, BBB disruption, and severe brain inflammation after ICH. Conclusion These results demonstrated that TIPE2 was negatively correlated with the pathogenesis of ICH, which prevented brain injury and attenuated deleterious inflammatory responses following ICH. TIPE2 might serve as a novel target for ICH therapy.

Due to its high lipid accumulation capability, Phaeodactylum tricornutum has attracted considerable attention as a promising candidate for biofuel production. However, the derived lipid cannot satisfy the industrial biofuel manufacturing requirements given its poor fatty acid characteristics. Genetic engineering, as a prospective approach, has been employed to overcome this bottleneck. Relevant research indicates that the fabG gene plays a crucial role in fatty acid biosynthesis in bacteria, but its significance in microalgae remains unclear. In this study, FabG was successfully introduced, transcribed, and overexpressed in P. tricornutum . FabG overexpression significantly enhanced lipid (1.49-fold) and fatty acid (1.31-fold) biosynthesis without altering growth and photosynthesis, and this method thus exhibits great potential in high-quality biodiesel production. Moreover, increased saturation of fatty acids (e.g., C16:0) and improved antioxidative activities enhanced the tolerance of transgenic P. tricornutum to high temperature stress. To conclude, this study reports a feasible approach for high-quality algae-based biofuel production via the unprecedented roles of FabG retrieved from diatom.

Here, the high-strength, high-ductility blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) were successfully prepared via a melt-bending method. The effects of APBA addition on the mechanical and thermal properties, morphologies, and crystallization behavior of the blends were investigated. The results showed that the addition of APBA endowed the PLA/ESO/APBA blends with a good balance of strength and toughness. The yield strength of the PLA/ESO/APBA (90:10:3) blend was 70 MPa, which was 25% higher than that of the corresponding PLA/ESO blend without APBA (56 MPa), while its elongation at break reached 160%, which is greatly superior to that of pure PLA (6.5%). Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the incorporation of APBA significantly improved the compatibility between PLA and ESO, while gel permeation chromatography and rheological analysis suggested the occurrence of complex reactions between the three constituents, which improved the compatibility between PLA and ESO and enhanced the mechanical properties of the blends. Hence, the PLA/ESO/APBA blends possess great potential for application in the manufacture of environmentally friendly degradable plastics.

The chemical recycling of plastic wastes into value-added products is an attractive strategy to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reduce the plastic pollution. We report here the facile upcycling of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB) into value-added polymerizable monomers and subsequent polymerization toward degradable and recyclable polymers. The bicyclic monomer 4-methyloctahydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]dioxepin-2-one (4-MOHB) was first synthesized from P3HB through efficient steps. The obtained monomers underwent bulk ring-opening polymerization (ROP) catalyzed by stannous octoate (Sn(Oct)2) to give the amorphous materials. With benzyl alcohol (BnOH) as an initiator, Sn(Oct)2 can effectively catalyze the ROP of bicyclic ether–ester monomers in a controllable fashion. Moreover, poly(4-methyloctahydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]dioxepin-2-one) (P(4-MOHB)) showed a closed-loop recovery property due to the fused bicyclic monomer structure. The selective depolymerization of the P(4-MOHB) homopolymer back to 4-MOHB monomer can be easily realized using p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) or Sn(Oct)2 as a catalyst in solution or in bulk. This strategy to recycle bioplastics into value-added materials has a promising application prospect and is beneficial to extend the life cycle of environment-friendly materials.

As an important strategic resource and environmental pollutant, uranium has high toxicity and economic value. Photocatalytic reduction of soluble hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) is a green and economic method to achieve uranium extraction, whereas the reported photocatalyst commonly requires a long period of > 1 h to reach a high extraction efficiency (>90%). Herein, we reported the ultrafast photocatalytic uranium extraction by up-conversion Er doped ZnO nanosheets . In the initial U(VI) concentration of 200 mg/L, the Er doped ZnO with 4% doping level (Er 0.04 -ZnO) nanosheets achieved 91.8% within 3 min, which was at least a magnitude shorter relative to ever-reported materials. The Er 0.04 -ZnO nanosheets reached a high removal efficiency of 96.1% in 10 min, with a considerable U(VI) extraction capacity of 3036 mg/g. The mechanistic study showed that the Er doping induced the up-conversion properties and increases the carrier density, thus enhancing the light adsorption and accelerating the U(VI) extraction.

All-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have been widely used in many fields due to their excellent photoelectric properties. However, the instability of their structure and the high lead content need to be solved. Herein, the concept of “High-entropy” is introduced into NCs to prepare High-entropy perovskite Cs(Pb 1/3 Mn 1/3 Ni 1/3 )Br 3 NCs by high-energy ball milling method. The effects of milling time and doping ratio of B-site elements on the structure and performance of perovskite NCs are studied. It is found that Mn 2+ and Ni 2+ successfully enter the lattice of Pb 2+ to form “High-entropy” perovskite NCs. In addition, compared with Cs(Pb 0.72 Mn 0.14 Ni 0.14 )Br 3 NCs, Cs(Pb 1/3 Mn 1/3 Ni 1/3 )Br 3 NCs have greater luminous intensity and stability, which because of the enhancement of band gap and valence bonds. Furthermore, photoluminescence intensity at 515 nm increase obviously when Cs(Pb 1/3 Mn 1/3 Ni 1/3 )Br 3 NCs are heated at 120 °C. This is due to the lattice distortion effect brought about by ion doping. This study is expected to provide an effective way for synthesis and stability of all-inorganic perovskite NCs doped with more kinds of different ions. Moreover, it also lays the foundation for the introduction of “High-entropy” into perovskite functional ceramics.

Graphical Towards high energy density SIB : Biomass hyaluronic acid (HA) is developed as a novel binder for high-loading Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 cathodes in sodium-ion batteries, which delivers a high reversible capacity, a superior rate capability, and a targeted energy density. Fast ion transport, network volume buffer and stable solid permeable interface are demonstrated along with structure-performance mechanisms. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered a promising candidate in green energy storage due to their considerable abundance. The low mass loading (less than 2.0 mg cm −2 ) of SIBs-based cathodes cannot meet the energy density on the practical device level, which is mainly restricted by sluggish Na + transport. To the end, a facile and compatible strategy was demonstrated by utilizing hyaluronic acid (HA) binder to achieve fast ion transport and targeted energy density for Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) cathodes. As a novel functional aqueous binder, HA allowed cathodic materials to organize the unique conductive network. The network-like electrode structure could buffer volume changes during sodiation/desodiation process and provide bi-continuous charge transport channels for both Na + and electrons at the interface. HA promoted the formation of the stable solid permeable interface films, protecting the electrochemical stability of the cathode and ensuring its good cycle performance. These functions of HA binder enabled that NVP delivered a reversible discharge capacity of 107.3 mAh g −1 at 0.5 C (1 C=117 mA g −1 ), which showed no sacrifice of electrochemical performances with mass loading increasing from 1.1 to 4.4 mg cm −2 . Even at a high rate of 20 C, NVP-HA (loading 4.0 mg cm −2 ) could reserve a good capacity of 76.8 mAh g −1 with the retention of 99.3 % after 2000 cycles. This study provides a novel strategy to achieve high energy density for SIBs in large-scale energy storage.

Pseudomonas lundensisis the main bacterium responsible for meat spoilage and its control is of great significance. 3-Carene, a natural monoterpene, has been proved to possess antimicrobial activities. This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity and mechanism of 3-carene against the meat spoilage bacteriumP. lundensis, and explore its application on pork. After 3-carene treatment, cellular structural changes were observed. Cell walls and membranes were destroyed, resulting in the leakage of alkaline phosphatase and cellular contents. The decreased activity of Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and Na+-K+-ATPase showed the imbalance of intracellular ions. Subsequently, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content and oxidative respiratory metabolism characteristics indicated that 3-carene inhibited the metabolism of the tricarboxylic acid cycle inP. lundensis. The results of binding 3-carene with the vital proteins (MurA, OmpW, and AtpD) related to the formation of the cell wall, the composition of the cell membrane, and the synthesis of ATP further suggested that 3-carene possibly affected the normal function of those proteins. In addition, the growth ofP. lundensisand increase in pH were inhibited in pork during the 5 days of cold storage after the samples were pre-treated with 3-carene. These results show the anti-P. lundensisactivity and mechanism of 3-carene, and its potential use in meat preservation under refrigerated conditions.Keywords:Pseudomonas lundensis;3-carene;preservatives;membrane damage

The surface of poly( p -phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers was modified by a hybrid coating composed of polydopamine (PDA) and the hydrolysis products of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (KH551) using a facile and environment-friendly mussel-inspired co-deposition strategy. The surface morphologies and chemical composition of the obtained hierarchical reinforcement (PBO@PDA/Si) were measured for confirming the successful deposition of the coating. Compared to untreated PBO fiber, the surface roughness and wettability of PBO@PDA/Si were increased remarkably. Importantly, PBO@PDA/Si showed a 50.2% increase in the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of resulting composite without any decrease in its tensile strength (TS). In addition, its atomic oxygen (AO) erosion and hydrothermal aging resistances were significantly improved. The “one-step” mussel-inspired surface modification strategy starts from simple chemistry and cheap raw materials, and may provide a novel and versatile design for fabricating multifunctional hierarchical reinforcements.
