Saussurea obvallata ( S. obvallata ) is widely used in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with high medicinal and edible values of reducing inflammation. But, the individual components and mechanisms of action still ill-defined. In this work, an integrated method using affinity ultrafiltration combined with preparative liquid chromatography was developed to identify and separate cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors from S. obvallata . The sample was pretreated using on-line medium pressure liquid chromatography to yield the active fraction. Then, the potential COX-2 ligands were screened out using affinity ultrafiltration from the targeted fraction and the identified compounds were isolated via preparative liquid chromatography. As a result, four main compounds, coniferin ( 1 ), syringin ( 2 ), roseoside ( 3 ) and grasshopper ketone ( 4 ) were targeted isolated with IC 50 values of 12.34 ± 1.81, 4.04 ± 0.43, 13.91 ± 2.46 and 7.97 ± 1.21 µM, respectively. Results of this work demonstrated that the developed strategy was effective for the targeted separation of COX-2 inhibitors from natural product extracts.

Traditional polyamide nanofiltration membranes suffer from permeability-selectivity trade-off limitation and unsatisfactory rejection for divalent cations. Herein, a novel dually charged membrane was constructed by incorporating positively charged UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 into the negatively charged polyamide layer. Thanks to the customizable nanochannels of metal-organic frameworks, the amino-rich nanochannels of UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 could be fabricated through a ligand replacement strategy. UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 played a crucial role in the enhanced rejection of divalent cations, meanwhile negatively charged polyamide surface guaranteed the efficient Na 2 SO 4 rejection. Satisfactory rejections of CaCl 2 (96.07 %) and Na 2 SO 4 (90.62 %) were achieved simultaneously by optimal TFN-D5. Meanwhile, TFN-D5 owned the greatly-improved water permeance of 19.44 LMH/bar, which was about 1.5 times better than that of the TFC-control. Calculations based on density functional theory further confirmed UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 rejected Ca 2+ efficiently since the migration energy barrier across UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 was an order of magnitude higher than that of UiO-66-NH 2 and UiO-66. Moreover, the desirable rejections were beyond 94 % towards many divalent cation salts including MgCl 2 , NiCl 2 , PbCl 2 , MnCl 2 , CdCl 2 and ZnCl 2 . Thus, this work provided an efficient way to realize the synergistic removal of both divalent cations and anions.

Low selectivity and complex product distribution are the main challenges for the utilization of lignin. Herein, the selective production of 2-(tert-butyl)-3-methylphenol (TBC), an antioxidant in the polymer industry, from depolymerization of enzymatic hydrolysis lignin (EHL) on a hydrothermally synthesized MoS 2 catalyst is studied. The total aromatic monomer yield is 124.1 mg/g EHL and the selectivity of TBC is up to 40.3 wt% in methanol at 280 °C under 2 MPa H 2 for 6 h. The FT-IR analysis of products reveals that MoS 2 has a high activity for demethylation, dehydroxylation and alkylation, and the dimer conversions reveal that C-O and C-C bonds in EHL are broken with MoS 2 . The guaiacol and its derivants are identified as the intermediate for formation of TBC in EHL depolymerization according to the effect of time on product distribution and monomer conversion.

(E)-2-Hexenal is one of the most prevalent and abundant volatile substances in fruits. Many researchers have attempted fumigation with (E)-2-hexenal to control fungal diseases with poor or no results; the key is the inability to maintain an effective concentration for a long time. Therefore, a new starch-based antifungal coating with (E)-2-hexenal microcapsules was prepared. The obtained results showed that the microcapsule embedding rate reached 78.95% by orthogonal optimization experiments and that the (E)-2-hexenal-based coating was effective at reducing the lesion diameter of apple fruit during storage at 25 °C after Penicillium expansum infection, and in other fruits; it also achieved a good antifungal effect. Moreover, the activities of the main defense-related enzymes and the expression of key genes involved in the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway, such as CHI, GLU, PAL , NPR1 , and PR1 , were enhanced by (E)-2-hexenal-based coating treatment. These findings suggest that the (E)-2-hexenal-based coating has the dual effect of direct antifungal and induction of apple system resistance. E2H-based coating is a promising approach to control postharvest Penicillium expansum in fruit.

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has lasted for almost 2 years. Stemming its spread has posed severe challenges for clinical virus detection. A long turnaround time, complicated operation, and low accuracy have become bottlenecks in developing detection techniques. Adopting a direct antigen detection strategy, we developed a fast-responding and quantitative capacitive aptasensor for ultratrace nucleocapsid protein detection based on a low-cost microelectrode array (MEA) chip. Employing the solid–liquid interface capacitance with a sensitivity of picofarad level, the tiny change on the MEA surface can be definitively detected. As a result, the limit of detection reaches an ultralow level of femtogram per milliliter in different matrices. Integrated with efficient microfluidic enrichment, the response time of this sensor from the sample to the result is shortened to 15 s, completely meeting the real-time detection demand. Moreover, the wide linear range of the sensor is from 10–5 to 10–2 ng/mL, and a high selectivity of 6369:1 is achieved. After application and evaluation in different environmental and body fluid matrices, this sensor and the detection method have proved to be a label-free, real-time, easy-to-operate, and specific strategy for SARS-CoV-2 screening and diagnosis.

2-Ethylanthraquinone is frequently used for producing bulk consuming chemicals. However, the synthesis of 2-ethylanthraquinone is still restricted by expensive raw materials, complex preparation process and poor-cycling catalyst. Herein, a one-pot method is developed to synthesize 2-ethylanthraquinone using phthalic anhydride and ethylbenzene as feedstock by combination of acylation and dehydration over a Sc-modified Hβ catalyst. Sc-modified Hβ was prepared via impregnation and catalyzed conversion of phthalic anhydride about 58.8% and 2-ethylanthraquinone selectivity up to 78.5% which is better than the results by other metals-modified Hβ zeolites. By adjusting Sc loading amount in Hβ, more acids are created especially strong Lewis acid and an appropriate synergistic effect of Lewis/Bronsted acids is obtained for cascade reactions of acylation and dehydration. Then, the reaction conditions were investigated and the catalyst can be reused in 4 runs. This work provides a green and simple way for 2-ethylanthraquinone synthesis.

The rational utilization of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) and quantum dots (QDs) semiconductors to highlight their merits as efficient photocatalysts remains attractive and challenging. Targeted integration of g-C 3 N 4 and QDs with expanded interfacial contact and multi-channel electron transfer is an effective means to boost the transfer efficiency of photogenerated electrons and achieve prominent photocatalytic activity. In this article, novel attapulgite (ATP)-interpenetrated Bi 2 WO 6 QDs/g-C 3 N 4 nanocomposites (BWQ/g-C 3 N 4 /ATP, designated as BCAs) are successfully fabricated through a simple and effective in situ hydrothermal growth method. The nanorod-structured ATP acts as numerous bridges to intercalate into the interlayers and expands inner space of g-C 3 N 4 . Theoretical calculation results indicate that an interfacial internal electric field (IEF) is formed where electrons transfer from g-C 3 N 4 to Bi 2 WO 6 . Originating from the intact interfacial contact of the expanded g-C 3 N 4 and highly dispersed BWQ with reinforcing electronic transferability of ATP, the optimal sample of BCA5 with higher specific surface area, more active sites and electron transfer channels, and stronger light harvestability, exhibits a nearly-100% degradation of organic contaminant of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole in water, 35-, 17- and 3-fold rate constant higher than that the pristine g-C 3 N 4 , BWQ and Bi 2 WO 6 /g-C 3 N 4 counterparts, respectively. Various characterization techniques are employed to put forward the mechanisms in depth on MBT degradation route and IEF-induced photocatalytic Z-scheme over the BCA5 under photoexcitation.

Graphical Ni-MOF derived CMs@Ni(OH) 2 /NiSe with a core-shell structure was designed. The obtained core-shell nanostructure material possesses a high contact area, excellent synergistic effect and can provide more reactive active sites. The application of Ni-MOF in supercapacitors has received widespread attention, but its poor conductivity and bad stability hinder its application. Therefore, Ni-MOF derived CMs@Ni(OH) 2 /NiSe with a core-shell structure was designed. Here, carbon microspheres (CMs) were explored as the conductive substrate to enhance the stability and in situ prepared Ni-MOF was anchored on the surface of CMs. Then, alkali-treatment and selenylation were carried out on CMs@Ni−MOF to improve stability and conductivity. The obtained core-shell nanostructure material possesses a high contact area, excellent synergistic effect and can provide more reactive active sites. The prepared CMs@Ni(OH) 2 /NiSe shows a higher specific capacitance (2106 F g −1 ) and excellent cycling performance with a capacitance retention of 95 % after 30000 cycles. Furthermore, the assembled CMs@Ni(OH) 2 /NiSe//AC device delivers a high energy density of 70.84 Wh kg −1 at the power density of 756.8 W kg −1 and maintains 100 % of the initial capacitance after 40000 cycles.

The formation mechanism of nanoparticles is of great significance for the controllable synthesis, structural design, and performance optimization of nanomaterials. In this paper, an economical hydrothermal method was used to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods. X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption fine structure, and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques were used to probe the structural changes. Scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the morphologies of the products. A self-designed in situ temperature–pressure sample cell was used to control the hydrothermal conditions. The results demonstrate that an unknown intermediate phase, Zn(HCO3)2·H2O, was first formed at 50 °C, having a morphology of nanoflakes with a average thickness of about 35 nm. The intermediate phase Zn(HCO3)2·H2O was determined to have a monoclinic structure with space group P1211 and the following lattice parameters: a = 11.567 Å, b = 3.410 Å, c = 5.358 Å, β = 96.0011°, and Z = 2. After a hydrothermal temperature of 140 °C, CO2 and H2O were evaporated from the Zn(HCO3)2·H2O intermediate product and the ZnO nanorods with a wurtzite structure were formed. The final ZnO nanorods have an average diameter of about 45 nm and an average length of about 2 μm. The axial direction of the ZnO nanorods is the [001] crystallographic direction. By virtue of understanding the formation mechanism, this work is helpful for the controllable synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles.

Spinel copper–manganese oxide catalysts were prepared via the co-precipitation method to be used for the catalytic selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Morphological characterization revealed that the primary particles of the as-synthesized catalysts were irregular nanoparticles aggregated with each other. The effects of reaction conditions such as time, temperature, and the dosage of oxidant on the catalytic activity were investigated. The experimental results show that the CuMn 2 O 4 showed superior catalytic performance in HMF selective oxidation reaction. In the presence of acetonitrile and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant, the catalytic reaction can achieve complete conversion of HMF, and the FDCA selectivity reached to 96.4%. The catalyst exhibited good recyclability and recoverability in a three-run recycling test. Mechanism studies reveal that Mn 3+ has a significant influence on the catalytic oxidation and the synergistic interaction between Mn and Cu can facilitate the mobility of oxygen thus improving the catalytic activity.

Developing efficient and cost-effective bifunctional catalytic electrodes is of great importance to water splitting. In this study, hybrid Ni/Ni(OH)2-coated NiCo2O4 nanorods were grown on Ni foam (NF) by a facile growth–conversion–epitaxy approach. The epitaxial decoration of Ni/Ni(OH)2 composite could increase the intrinsic activity of NiCo2O4/NF and enhance the charge-transfer rate. This self-standing hierarchical nanohybrid with unique surface chemistry and interface engineering exhibits an excellent electrocatalytic performance. The optimized Ni/Ni(OH)2-NiCo2O4/NF only requires overpotentials of 53 and 235 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm–2 for HER and OER, respectively. The electrolyzer achieved 10 mA cm–2 at a low cell voltage of 1.51 V for water splitting. This work offers a new perspective for rationally designing electrocatalytic materials by surface decoration.

Background Depression is the most known complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Aerobic exercise improves glycemic control in T2DM, although the underlying mechanisms of comorbid depression-like behaviors in T2DM have not yet been fully elucidated. Methods 120 zebrafish were randomly assigned to four groups: Control, T2DM, T2DM + metformin, and T2DM + aerobic exercise. Then, all animals except the control group were fed with high glucose fairy shrimp (~40 g/kg/day) and exposed reserpine (40 μg/ml for 20 min) for 10 days. Here, behavioral tests were used for model verification. Following the verification, all groups were treated as before. Additionally, the T2DM + metformin group received metformin (~10.6 mg/kg/day) at the same time, while the T2DM + aerobic exercise group received aerobic exercise 30 min/day. Finally, blood glucose and behavioral tests, as well as protein and molecular levels were determined at Day 11 and 12. Results Aerobic exercise alleviated depressive-like behavior and enhanced the levels of antidepressant biomarkers (NE, 5-HIAA) in zebrafish after 10 consecutive days of exercise. Additionally, 10 consecutive days of aerobic exercise decreased the levels of inflammatory biomarkers (IFN-γ, IL-1, IL-4) and depressive biomarkers (cortisol). Meanwhile, it also aided in the reduction of CD11b, IL-6, IL-6R, and caspase-3 expression to combat the neuroinflammation induced by T2DM, mediated the BDNF-TrkB pathway, and increased Bcl-2/Bax levels. Conclusion Given the remarkable similarity in neurochemistry between humans and zebrafish, this study supports the effectiveness of aerobic exercise as clinical guidance in preventing and treating T2DM complicated with depression.
