Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) is a representative chlorinated organophosphate flame retardant (OPFR) that demonstrates greater persistence than other non-halogenated alkyl or aryl OPFRs. Although TCEP has been shown to accumulate significantly in the environment and contribute to testicular toxicity and spermatogenic dysfunction, the precise underlying factors and mechanisms of action remain unclear. Herein, male ICR mice were gavaged with corn oil, 50 mg/kg body weight (bw) TCEP, or 100 mg/kg bw TCEP from postnatal day (PND) 22 to PND 35. TCEP exposure resulted in the disruption of blood-testis barrier (BTB) integrity and in abnormal testicular development. Considering that Sertoli cells constitute the primary target of toxicants and that TCEP induces oxidative stress in the testis and other organs, we focused on ferroptosis in Sertoli cells. Our findings revealed a significant increase in ferroptosis in the testes and Sertoli cells following TCEP exposure, and we observed functional restoration of Sertoli cell junctions upon treatment with the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1. Furthermore, ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) was markedly reduced in TCEP-exposed testes and Sertoli cells. Since nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4)-mediated ferritinophagy is essential for the degradation of FTH1, we assessed ferritinophagic activity and found significant upregulation of NCOA4, ATG5, ATG7, and LC3B II/I in TCEP-exposed testes and Sertoli cells. These results strongly suggest that TCEP triggers Sertoli cell ferroptosis by activating ferritinophagy that leads to reduced expression of BTB-associated proteins, ultimately causing BTB disruption and testicular developmental toxicity.

An immunosensing platform was developed based on the enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol-dissolved oxygen (O 2 ) by nanochannel-confined Ni(OH) 2 -CeO 2 composite nanozyme, which is able to sensitively detect cytokine. The mesoporous silica nanochannel array film (SNF), decorated on a cost-effective ITO electrode, features ultrasmall (2∼3 nm) nanochannels, enabling the confinement of in situ synthesized Ni(OH) 2 -CeO 2 composite nanozyme via a continuous electrodeposition process. Ni(OH) 2 -CeO 2 exhibits dual peroxidase (POD) and oxidase (OXD) enzyme-like activities, serving as an efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and catalyze luminol oxidation. Compared to nanozymes synthesized on flat electrodes, nanochannel-confined nanozyme demonstrates superior ECL enhancement. The combination of Ni(OH) 2 and CeO 2 exhibits strong synergistic catalytic performance, boosting ECL of luminol-O 2 under neutral conditions by 33.7 orders compared to electrode without confined nanozyme. Using tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) as a proof-of-concept demonstration, immunosensor is fabricated by immobilization recognition antibodies on the SNF outer surface. TNF-α binding induces immunocomplex formation, reducing ECL signal by increasing interfacial resistance and hindering luminol diffuse. This enables sensitive TNF-α detection over a wide linear range (10 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL) with an ultralow detection limit of 8 fg/mL. The immunosensor demonstrates good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

Ionic liquid-H2O2 is a green hypergolic propellant system, and the poor self-ignition hinders its application. Herein, the stable zero-valent catalyst Cu nano-particle with twin boundaries (T-Cu) was synthesized. As the twin boundary regulates the electron micro-environment of the T-Cu surface, the electron transfer from the d electrons of Cu atom to the σ* anti-bonding orbital of H2O2 is intensified to create ·OH and ·OOH. The resulted free radicals possess strong oxidizing ability, and react violently with [BMIM]N(CN)2 to achieve a rapid ignition with the delay time as low as 25 ms. This work provides an effective way to get excellent ignition performance, and promotes the application of Ionic liquid-H2O2 green hypergolic propellants.

The advancement of non-enzymatic glucose sensors is essential for enhancing the cost-effectiveness and continuous monitoring capabilities of glucose detection systems. Employing innovative materials and device structures constitute key strategies to achieve this objective. Herein, an in-situ growth method of laser-induced graphene (LIG) using dye-stained polyimide colloids formed films on various substrates was introduced. The cost-efficient, rapid, and portable glucose sensor was developed based on LIG patterned via direct laser writing (DLW), combining with a layer-by-layer growth method to deposit Cu 3 (HHTP) 2 (HHTP, 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) onto the surface of LIG. By utilizing the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the results shows that the LIG result in an upward shift of the d-band of Cu 3 (HHTP) 2 , hindering electrons from filling into the anti-bonding orbitals and improving the adsorption ability of the intermediate product on the surface, enhancing electrode catalytic activity. The glucose sensor has achieved a wide detection range (0.01–22 mM), a low detection limit (3 μM) and an excellent sensitivity (5276 μA mM −1 cm −2 ) in the low concentration range. This work provides novel insights into the growth of LIG on various substrates and offers a non-enzymatic sensor capable of accurate glucose measurements, while demonstrating exceptional reliability, stability and precision.

This research involved the synthesis of a series of single-phase oxyapatite-type phosphors, Ba 2 La 3 (SiO 4 ) 2 (PO 4 )O:Dy 3+ through a high-temperature solid-state reaction methodology. A comprehensive examination was undertaken to elucidate their crystallographic structure, phase homogeneity, morphological features, photoluminescence (PL) properties, and thermal stability. Phase purity was meticulously assessed via X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, confirming the hexagonal crystal system alignment with space group P 6 3 / m (No.176) for the Ba 2 La 3 (SiO 4 ) 2 (PO 4 )O:Dy 3+ phosphors. Excitation at 349 nm revealed a triplet of distinguished emission peaks situated at wavelengths of 480 nm (attributed to the 4 F 9/2 - 6 H 15/2 transition), 572 nm (corresponding to 4 F 9/2 - 6 H 13/2 ), and 664 nm (stemming from 4 F 9/2 - 6 H 11/2 transitions). The investigation pinpointed a 0.05 mol concentration of Dy 3+ as the optimum doping level within the Ba 2 La 3 (SiO 4 ) 2 (PO 4 )O matrix for maximized luminescence. Of note, these phosphors exhibit an abnormal thermal quenching behavior alongside a substantial activation energy barrier E a = 0.37 eV, underscoring their robustness at elevated temperatures. The exhaustive findings from this study for advocating the application of these phosphors in light-emitting devices.

Developing efficient adsorbents for removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals is essential for environmental protection. In this study, a series of GO/UiO-66-(OH)2 composites were synthesized and characterized using XRD, FT-IR, and SEM, confirming enhanced thermal stability, reduced aggregation, and maintained crystallinity of UiO-66-(OH)2 due to GO incorporation. Batch adsorption experiments showed that GO increased the adsorption capacity, with GO-8/UiO-66-(OH)2 achieving 324.2 mg/g for diclofenac sodium (DCF) and 429.3 mg/g for Hg2+. DCF adsorption was primarily governed by physisorption, while Hg adsorption was chemisorptive, involving strong coordination with oxygen functional groups. Kinetic and isotherm studies revealed the suitability of the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich models, with thermodynamic analysis showing exothermic DCF adsorption and endothermic Hg2+ adsorption. The composites also exhibited high selectivity and stable regeneration, making them promising candidates for practical environmental remediation.

Throughout the history of traditional Chinese medicine, Angelica pubescens has been extensively employed to treat inflammatory arthritis. However, little is known about the anti-rheumatoid arthritis (RA) effects of A. pubescens polysaccharides. In this study, four crude polysaccharides (APR50, APR70, APR90, and APRB) were isolated from A. pubescens radix, and the rat model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) was established to evaluate the anti-RA effects of A. pubescens polysaccharides. A. pubescens polysaccharides could effectively reduce the degree of paw swelling in CIA rats, among which the effect of APR50 was comparable to that of methotrexate. A homogenous polysaccharide APRP50-2-1 was purified from APR50. Structural characterization indicated that APRP50-2-1 was primarily composed of glucose, mannose, galactose, and arabinose. The main skeleton of APRP50-2-1 consisted of →4)- α - d -Glc p -(1→, →6)- α - d -Glc p -(1→, and →6,4)- α - d -Gal p -(1→ residues. The branched chains of →4)- α - d -Glc p -(1→ and →3)- β - d -Man p -(1→ were substituted at O -4 of →4,6)- α - d -Gal p -(1→. APRP50-2-1 inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of MH7A cells by down-regulating the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) and up-regulating the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein BCL2-associated X (BAX). In conclusion, A. pubescens polysaccharides had significant anti-RA effects in rat CIA model, among which APR50 and APRP50-2-1 possessed the promising prospects of ameliorating RA.

Combining imaging and treatment of cancer into one molecule has become an efficient strategy for studies on pathology and cancer therapeutics. Herein, a novel highly selective and sensitive green-emitting probe ( APLN ), which contained a fluorophore (Naphthalimide), a linker, and a COX-2 kinase inhibitor (aspirin) has been designed and evaluated. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), as one of the typical rate-limiting enzymes, has been utilized as imaging and therapeutic target since this enzyme is overexpressed in various cancer cell lines. Aspirin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has been reported to reduce the incidence and risk of cancers by down-regulating the expression of COX-2 in cancer cells. The APLN probe has been proved to successfully label the COX-2 enzyme to identify tumors and significantly inhibit tumor growth in a xenotransplantation model of nude mice. Therefore, this enzyme-targeted fluorescence probe ( APLN) is a potential reagent for in situ imaging and fluorescent-visible cancer therapy.

In this article, a hyperfluorescence 2-pyridone derivative (D-TPCA) has been synthesized within 5 min by the microwave-assistant heat treatment of the aqueous mixture of citric acid and 2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride. The as-prepared D-TPCA exhibited good aqueous solubility and excellent fluorescent property with a quantum yield of 89.9%. Because the fluorescence of D-TPCA could be effectively quenched by picric acid (PA), D-TPCA could be served as a “turn-off” fluorescence sensor for PA in aqueous solution. The proposed sensing method permitted a selective and sensitive detection of PA in a linear range of 0–45 μM with a detection limit of 56.0 nM. The determination results of PA in real water samples with a recovery range of 95.4–107.3% confirmed a good analytical performance of this sensor. In addition, the possible sensing mechanism has been discussed in detail.

Syntheses of isoxazolidines through the carbonyl imine intermediates are currently limited to monosubstituted olefin substrates. Herein, we reported syntheses of novel bicyclic isoxazolidine-containing compounds through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions using cyclic allylic alcohols as substrates, which proved challenging in previous reports. Generally, the reaction yields range from good to high, and the reaction substrates tolerate various functional groups, including the cyclopropyl and amine groups. Mechanistic studies suggest that an allylic cation and a carbonyl imine intermediate are involved and responsible for the observed stereochemistry and diastereoselectivity.

Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) was used to tether poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) onto microporous PVDF membranes in order to synthesize membrane adsorbers for protein adsorption. The alkaline treatment and bromine addition reaction were used to anchor ATRP initiators on membrane surface. Then PDMAEMA was grafted from the membrane surface via SI-ATRP. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the chemical composition and surface topography of the PVDF- g -PDMAEMA membrane surfaces. These results showed that PDMAEMA was grafted from the membrane surface successfully and a grafting yield as high as 1500 μg/cm 2 was achieved. The effects of the grafting time and the density of initiators on the static and dynamic binding capacity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were systematically investigated. Both the static and dynamic binding capacities increase with the bromination and polymerization time. However, the benefits of the initiator density on binding capacities are limited by the graft density of PDMAEMA chains.

Three 2-mercaptobenzimidazole derivatives, 1-ethyl-2-mercapto-benzimidazole (EMBI), 1-propyl-2-mercapto-benzimidazole (PMBI) and 1-benze-2-mercapto-benzimidazole (BMBI), were designed and synthesized in the paper, and their collecting behavior in flotation separation process of galena over pyrite was investigated by flotation tests on lab scale. Apart from this, density functional theory (DFT) calculation and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were also used to elucidate their collecting mechanism. Results of flotation tests indicate that separation of galena over pyrite is feasible at pH 10, and BMBI has the best floatability among three collectors. DFT calculations show that BMBI has the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy and strongest collecting efficiency. The adsorption mode of three collectors on mineral surface by MD method indicates that the combination processes of collectors with mineral are exothermic, and the higher the binding energy, the firmer the collector adsorbs on the mineral surface and the higher collecting capacity. The calculation results demonstrate that the floatability of three collectors follows the order: BMBI > PMBI > EMBI, which is highly consistent with the flotation tests.
