Hydrogel as a temporary plugging material provides an efficient strategy to replace locally damaged oil pipelines. However, the poor mechanical properties and incomplete gel-breaking severely limit the practical application of this strategy. Herein, a temperature and pH-responsive hydrogel P(ACG-co-AM)-MMT was prepared by copolymerizing a natural amino acid derivative monomer N-acryloyl glycine (ACG) and acrylamide (AM) with montmorillonite (MMT) as filling material. Hydrogen bonding is the main driving force in hydrogel formation, as confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. The introduction of MMT plays a key role in enhancing the mechanical properties of hydrogels. This successfully overcame the issues of inadequate mechanical properties-rapid degradation trade-off in hydrogel temporary plugging materials. The results show that the hydrogel can withstand the pipeline pressure up to 84 kPa and effectively plug the pipeline. Due to the reversibility of hydrogen bonds, the hydrogel can realize the transformation of sol-gel-sol under temperature stimulation. The plugged area of the pipeline is removed by injecting thermal-produced water. When the hot water temperature is 85 ℃, the pipeline changes to the dredging state only 21 min, dramatically simplifying the operation time. P(ACG-co-AM)-MMT hydrogel has great potential as a temporary plugging material in replacing partially damaged oil pipeline plugging operations. Graphical

A highly sensitive molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence (MIECL) sensor was developed for detecting rifampicin (RIF) based on luminol@Co-MOF. Co-MOF had a significant enhancement of ECL signaling in the luminol-O 2 system. Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) with the introduction of RIF provide new properties for the specific recognition of RIF. A noteworthy decrease in ECL intensity was observed with higher concentrations of RIF. Consequently, the ECL signal was controlled by RIF elution from and adsorption by the MIP, thus establishing a new method for RIF detection. Under optimal conditions, this sensor exhibited linear detection ranges of RIF between 1.0 × 10 −11 mol L −1 and 1.0 × 10 −6 mol L −1 , with a detection limit of 3.3 × 10 −12 mol L −1 ( S / N = 3). The recoveries ranged between 98.1 and 106.0% in fish samples. This method can be used as a sensitive and rapid method to detect RIF in real samples. Graphical

Widely used organophosphorus pesticide triazophos (TAP) can easily cumulate in aquatic system due to its high stability chemically and photochemically and thus posing significant threat to aquatic creatures and humans’ health. Urging demand for rapid determining TAP in water has risen. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing turns out to be a good candidate for its simplicity in fabrication and swiftness in detection. Nevertheless, traditional PEC sensors often lack selectivity as their signal generation primarily relies on the oxidation of organic compounds in the electrolyte by photo-induced holes. To address this limitation, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can be in combined with PEC sensors to significantly enhance the selectivity. Here, we present a novel approach utilizing a PEC sensor enhanced by carbon-modified titanium dioxide molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP/C/TiO 2 NTs). Carbon quantum dot (CQD) modification of titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (C/TiO 2 NTs) was achieved through a one-step anodization process, effectively enhancing visible light absorption by narrowing the band gap of TiO 2 , and CQDs also function as sensitizer accelerating charge transfer for improved and stable photocurrent signals during detection. Our method further incorporates MIPs to heighten the selectivity of the PEC sensor. Electro-polymerization using cyclic voltammetry was employed to polymerize MIPs with pyrrole as the functional monomer and triazophos as the target molecule. The resultant MIP/C/TiO 2 NT sensor exhibited remarkable sensitivity, with a detection limit of 0.03 nM (S/N = 3), alongside exceptional selectivity and stability for triazophos detection in water. This offers a promising avenue for efficient, cost-effective, and rapid monitoring of pesticide contaminants in aquatic environments, contributing to the broader goals of environmental preservation and public health.

Developing novel antibacterial dressing protecting skin injuries from infection is essential for wound healing. In this study, sericin, a bio-waste produced during the degumming of silk cocoons, is utilized to exfoliate MoS 2 layers and improve the dispersity and stability of MoS 2 nanosheets (MoS 2 -NSs). Moreover, owing to its ability to promote oxygen permeability and cell growth and its good biocompatibility, MoS 2 -NS/Sericin maintains its photothermal property under an 808 nm light source for a strong antibacterial activity as well as improves the fibroblast migration, which accelerates wound healing. Furthermore, the in vitro experiments indicates that MoS 2 -NS/Sericin can also scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) at an inflammatory stage of wound healing and transform classical activated macrophages (M1-type) into alternatively activated macrophages (M2-type), which is beneficial for wound recovery. Based on these results observed in vitro, full-thickness skin wound experiments are conducted on rats, and the corresponding results show that MoS 2 /Sericin under 808 nm irradiation exhibits the best performance in promoting wound healing. Overall, MoS 2 -NS/Sericin exhibits a high potential for bacteria-infected wound healing. Graphical Abstract

The substantial amount of mercury emissions from coal-fired flue gas causes severe environmental contamination. With the Minamata Convention now officially in force, it is critical to strengthen mercury pollution control. Existing activated carbon injection technologies suffer from poor desulfurization performance and risk secondary-release risks. Therefore, considering the potential industrial application of adsorbents, we selected cost-effective and readily available activated coke (AC) as the carrier in this study. Four metal selenides—copper, iron, manganese, and tin—were loaded onto the AC to overcome the application problems of existing technologies. After 120 min of adsorption, the CuSe/AC exhibited the highest efficiency in removing Hg 0 , surpassing 80% according to the experimental findings. In addition, the optimal adsorption temperature window was 30–120 °C, the maximum adsorption rate was 2.9 × 10 −2 mg·g −1 ·h −1 , and the effectiveness of CuSe/AC in capturing Hg 0 only dropped by 5.2% in the sulfur-containing atmosphere. The physicochemical characterization results indicated that the AC surface had a uniform loading of CuSe with a nanosheet structure resembling polygon and that the Cu-to-Se atomic ratio was close to 1:1. Finally, two possible Hg 0 reaction pathways on CuSe/AC were proposed. Moreover, it was elucidated that the highly selective binding of Hg 0 with ligand-unsaturated Se − was the key factor in achieving high adsorption efficiency and sulfur resistance in the selenium-functionalized AC adsorbent. This finding offers substantial theoretical support for the industrial application of this adsorbent. Graphical Abstract

The development of RNA interference (RNAi) therapy offers a potential solution for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the brain-blood barrier (BBB) with its selective permeability and pharmacokinetic-related challenges poses restrictions on the delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to the central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we demonstrate that the incorporation of 2′-fluoro (2′-F) substitutions and L-carnitine modification facilitates the self-assembly of siRNA through triple interaction, leading to the formation of nanorings, called LCSF-NR. Based on the enhanced cellular uptake and lysosomal escape by 2′-F substitution and the transport across the BBB promoted by L-carnitine, the nanorings realized the improved brain-targeted delivery of siRNA, both in zebrafish and mice models. Moreover, our findings highlight the therapeutic potential of LCSF-NR formulation in an AD zebrafish model through a synergistic effect of downregulating the β-site APP cleavage enzyme 1 (BACE1) gene and L-carnitine-mediated neuroprotection, effectively inhibiting pathological processes. Overall, these results suggest that the chemical modification-based siRNA self-assembly strategy enables trans-BBB delivery and presents a concise approach for synergistic therapy of AD.

In recent years, the control of volatile N -nitrosamines (NAs) has been of interest in the pharmaceutical and food industries, as many of these compounds are probable human carcinogens. Thus, rapid and trace-level quantitative determination methods are in urgent demand. In this work, ambient pressure ammonium-adduct ionization mass spectrometry was proposed for the sensitive detection of volatile nitrosamines in various pharmaceutical headspaces. The ammonium ions produced through electrospray ionization acted as reactant ions for NAs to generate ammonium–NA adduct ions and underwent in-source collision-induced dissociation to produce protonated NAs, which were detected by mass spectrometry. The ionization selectivity and sensitivity for various volatile NAs were improved significantly using the developed method, which was demonstrated by the limit of quantification (LOQ) below 52 ng L −1 for all NAs, and the quantitative performance was consequently improved. Different NAs exhibited almost equimolar response using NH 4 + as the reactant ion, with at least a twofold enhancement in intensity for the individual compounds relative to when using H + as the reactant ion. The proposed method is a rapid, sensitive, and environmentally economical approach that uses few reagents.

Background The T790M mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) gene is the primary cause of resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Previous research demonstrated that certain traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) monomers exhibit anti-tumor effects against various malignancies. This study aims to investigate the potentials of shikonin screened from a TCM monomer library containing 1060 monomers in killing EGFR -T790M drug-resistant NSCLC cells and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Methods MTT method was used to screen for the TCM monomers with significant killing effects on H1975 cells carrying the EGFR -T790M mutation. The influences of the identified monomer shikonin on cell growth were determined by the colony formation assay. Annexin-V/PI staining and JC-1 staining were applied to detect the effects of shikonin on cell apoptosis. The influences of shikonin on cell membrane integrity were detected by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was analyzed using DCFH-DA as probe. The mechanisms of shikonin affecting the stability of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were evaluated by using specific inhibitors for protein degradation pathways. Western blotting was performed to assess the effects of the alteration of COX-2 expression or enzymatic activity on the related signal pathways as well as the apoptotic and pyroptotic markers. Results Shikonin was identified as a potent cytotoxic compound against EGFR -T790M-mutant NSCLC cells. Shikonin induced cell apoptosis and pyroptosis by triggering the activation of the caspase cascade and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase and gasdermin E by elevating intracellular ROS levels. Further investigations revealed that shikonin induced the degradation of COX-2 via the proteasome pathway, thereby decreasing COX-2 protein level and enzymatic activity and subsequently inhibiting the downstream PDK1/Akt and Erk1/2 signaling pathways through the induction of ROS production. Notably, COX-2 overexpression attenuated shikonin-induced apoptosis and pyroptosis, whereas COX-2 inhibition with celecoxib enhanced the cytotoxic effects of shikonin. Conclusions Combination treatment with shikonin and COX-2 inhibitor may be a suitable therapeutic strategy for EGFR -T790M-mutant NSCLC treatment.

Economically and conveniently removing Mg 2+ from ZnSO 4 solution has become increasingly important in view of the economic significance of zinc extractive metallurgy. In this paper, the role of surface charge in the removal of Mg 2+ by the fluorination method to form MgF 2 was investigated. According to the experimental results, both positively charged and negatively charged MgF 2 surfaces resulted in an increased zinc loss ratio. At the point of the zero-charged MgF 2 surface, when the pH is 2.3, the minimum zinc loss ratio of only 3.6% can be achieved and the removal ratio of Mg 2+ can reach 81.0%. Furthermore, the role of surface charge on the size of colloidal MgF 2 particles was clarified. Finally, the effect of centrifugation parameters on the separation of MgF 2 colloids from ZnSO 4 solution was investigated and the optimized conditions were 4000 rpm and 10 min.

An innovative method is introduced based on the combination of label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering with advanced multivariate analysis. This technique allows both quantitative and qualitative assessment of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli on eggshells. Using silver nanocubes embedded in polydimethylsiloxane, we consistently achieved Raman spectra of bacteria. The stability of the Ag NCs@PDMS substrate is confirmed using rhodamine 6G over 30 days under standard conditions. Principal component analysis (PCA) effectively distinguishes between S. typhimurium and E. coli spectra. Partial least squares regression (PLS) models were developed for quantitative determination of bacteria on egg surfaces, yielding accurate results with minimal error. The S. typhimurium model achieves R c 2 = 0.9563 and RMSEC = 0.601 in calibration, and R v 2 = 0.9113 and RMSEV = 0.907 in validation. Similarly, the E. coli model achieves R c 2 = 0.9877 and RMSEC = 0.322 in calibration, and R v 2 = 0.9606 and RMSEV = 0.579 in validation. Recoveries validate PLS predictions by inoculating egg surfaces with varying bacterial amounts. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of SERS-PLS for quantitative determination of S. typhimurium and E. coli on eggshells, promising enhanced food safety protocols. Graphical Abstract

The burgeoning growth of the new energy vehicles and aviation industry has escalated the need for energy storage capacitors capable of stable operation in harsh environments. The advent of metal-polyimide complexes has illuminated a novel approach for preparing temperature-resistant capacitors. However, the general application of these metal-polyimide complexes is impeded by the high dielectric loss and low breakdown strength, consequences of main-chain coordination and excessive metal ions content. Herein, our study proposes a novel polyimide-Cu complex material (POP-Cu) predicated on side-chain-type pyridine-Cu coordination, utilizing the structural backbone PMDA-ODA of mature commercial PI (Kapton) with reliable performance. Owing to the high degree of freedom afforded by the side chain with suppressed relaxation activation energy and the long-range electron delocalization formed by d - π coordination, the dielectric constant of this material containing merely 2.7 mol% Cu increases from 3.25 (POPI) to 5.58, while maintaining a remarkably low dielectric loss of 0.0066. Meanwhile, this material exhibits a substantial DC breakdown strength of 436.2 MV·m −1 and a high energy density of 5.42 J·cm −3 , coupled with superior mechanical and thermal properties. Even at 150 °C, it retains over 90% of its room-temperature energy density, demonstrating notable dielectric stability under high temperatures. These attributes underscore its promising application for capacitors operating in harsh environments.

Proton transport in nanofluidic channels is not only fundamentally important but also essential for energy applications. Although various strategies have been developed to improve the concentration of active protons in the nanochannels, it remains challenging to achieve a proton conductivity higher than that of Nafion, the benchmark for proton conductors. Here, taking H 3 Sb 3 P 2 O 14 and HSbP 2 O 8 as examples, we show that the interactions between protons and the layer frameworks in layered solid acid H n M n Z 2 O 3n+5 are substantially reduced at the monolayer limit, which significantly increases the number of active protons and consequently improves the proton conductivities by ∼ 8 ‒ 66 times depending on the humidity. The membranes assembled by monolayer H 3 Sb 3 P 2 O 14 and HSbP 2 O 8 nanosheets exhibit in-plane proton conductivities of ~ 1.02 and 1.18 S cm −1 at 100% relative humidity and 90 °C, respectively, which are over 5 times higher than the conductivity of Nafion. This work provides a general strategy for facilitating proton transport, which will have broad implications in advancing both nanofluidic research and device applications from energy storage and conversion to neuromorphic computing.
