Developing a reusable and durable catalyst for heterogeneous photo-Fenton process is of great importance for the practical application in the environment remediation. In this study, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel beads were constructed using FeCl 3 and boric acid as cross-linking agents. Characterizations and tests were employed to investigate the structure, optical property and durability of the obtained beads. The photo-Fenton performance of the PVA/SA-FeCl 3 beads was evaluated by degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible-light irradiation. The results show that the constructed beads exhibit porous structure, display a broad absorption band in the visible region and behave excellent stability against mechanic effects. The photocatalytic experiment result indicates that the removal rate of TC reaches 90.5% under optimized conditions, while the removal rate of total organic carbon reaches 28.6%. By analyzing the degradation of TC after adding active species scavengers, a photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. Moreover, PVA/SA-6% FeCl 3 beads could be easily separated and recycled in water purification. This work provides a facile and robust method to construct reusable and durable Fe(III)-containing hydrogel beads with acceptable photo-Fenton catalytic performance under visible-light irradiation, paving the way for its practical application in wastewater treatment.

The safe storage of nitrocellulose has become challenging due to their requirements of extreme storage environments, and existing stabilizers cannot fully meet the demand. Thus, developing new high-performance stabilizers to improve the stability of nitrocellulose is urgently needed. Considering the stabilizing mechanism of stabilizers and the excellent free radical scavenging ability of fullerenes, two novel fullerene-based stabilizers, pentaacyloxyphenyl fullerene derivatives (PAOP-C 60 ), were designed and synthesized, and their structures were characterized by FTIR, UV–Vis and NMR. The thermal action of PAOP-C 60 during thermal decomposition process of nitrocellulose was studied by thermal analysis, which indicating that the thermal stability of nitrocellulose was increased with addition of PAOP-C 60 and the PAOP-C 60 was found to exhibit superior thermal stability than traditional stabilizer. The results of electron spin resonance showed that fullerene-based stabilizers had a significant scavenging effect on nitrogen oxide radicals, and the IC50 of PAOP-C 60 (0.674–0.818 g L −1 ) was smaller than that of diphenylamine (1.717 g L −1 ). Moreover, the intermediate product produced by PAOP-C 60 and nitrocellulose action was extracted and characterized by FTIR. A possible stabilization mechanism of PAOP-C 60 , which was different from traditional stabilization mechanism, was proposed.

All-organic polyimide (PI)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composite materials with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss were fabricated via solution blending. The dielectric, mechanical, and thermal properties of the PI/PVDF composite films were studied. Results indicated that the dielectric properties of the composites were highly reinforced through the introduction of PVDF, and the composites exhibited excellent thermal stability. When the mass fraction of PVDF was adjusted to 30 wt%, the specimen demonstrated excellent thermal properties, superior mechanical properties, high dielectric constant (5.7, 1 kHz), and low dielectric loss (0.009, 1 kHz). Moreover, the dependence of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss on frequency was investigated. The composite presented stable dielectric constant and dielectric loss that were less than 0.04 within the testing frequency range of 100 Hz–10 MHz. This study demonstrated that the PI/PVDF composites were potential dielectric materials in the field of electronics.

Epidermal sensing devices, which mimic functionalities and mechanical properties of natural skin, offer great potential for real-time health monitoring via continuous checking of vital signs. However, most existing skin-mounted electronics use a flexible film with high elastic modulus, which hinders physical activity and causes interfacial delamination and skin irritation. The compliance of hydrogel-based devices can firmly conform to complex, curved surfaces without introducing excessive interfacial stresses. However, most hydrogels still suffer from the weakness of stable and reproducible sensing. In this work, we report a skin-friendly epidermal electronic made of a resilient, self-healing, and recyclable polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel. The hydrogel is reinforced through a ternary heterogeneous network for good mechanical robustness while maintaining high stretchability and exceptional conformability. Simultaneously, the abundant dynamic hydrogen bonds give the hydrogel rapid self-healing ability. The assembled hydrogel epidermal electronic is able to stably monitor multiple physiological signals as well as sense the strain level of the skin motion and joint bending. The unique, versatile, environmental and biological friendly epidermal electronics will have broad applications in health care, human-machine interface, augmented reality, and so on.

Background Neutrophil-based drug delivery system possesses excellent advantages in targeting at tumour because neutrophils are easily recruited by chemotactic factor in tumor microenvironment. Herein, we developed a novel tactic of multistage neutrophils-based nanoparticle delivery system for promoting photothermal therapy (PTT) of lung cancer.Results Au nanorod (AuNR) was successfully modified with bovine serum albumin (AuNRB) and further conjugated with RGD (AuNRBR), followed by neutrophil internalisation to obtain neutrophils-based delivery system (AuNRBR/N). The engineered neutrophils efficiently migrated across the epithelial cells due to inflammatory signal. They exhibited better toxicity against Lewis cells with laser irradiation in vitro. Moreover, AuNRBR/N showed significantly more targetability to tumour tissue compared with cell carrier-free AuNRBR, as demonstrated in Lewis tumour-bearing mice. The enhanced tumour homing efficiency of AuNRBR/N together with subsequently released AuNRBR from the neutrophils was favourable for further deep tissue diffusion and contributed to the inhibition of the tumour growth in PTT and improved survival rate (over 120 days).Conclusion sOverall results illustrated that the design of cell-based nanoparticle delivery system for PTT of cancer is promising.

Fusaric acid (FA) is a nonhost-selective toxin mainly produced by Fusarium oxysporum , the causal agent of plant wilt diseases. We demonstrate that FA can induce programmed cell death (PCD) in tobacco suspension cells and the FA-induced PCD is modulated by nitric oxide (NO) signalling. Cells undergoing cell death induced by FA treatment exhibited typical characteristics of PCD including cytoplasmic shrinkage, chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation, membrane plasmolysis, and formation of small cytoplasmic vacuoles. In addition, caspase-3-like activity was activated upon the FA treatment. The process of FA-induced PCD was accompanied by a rapid accumulation of NO in a FA dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment of cells with NO scavenger 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO) or NO synthase inhibitor N
G -monomethyl-arginine monoacetate (L-NMMA) significantly reduced the rate of FA-induced cell death. Furthermore, the caspase-3-like activity and the expression of PAL and Hsr203J genes were alleviated by application of cPTIO or L-NMMA to FA-treated tobacco cells. This indicates that NO is an important factor involved in the FA-induced PCD. Our results also show that pre-treatment of tobacco cells with a caspase-3-specific inhibitor, Ac-DEVD-CHO, can reduce the rate of FA-induced cell death. These results demonstrate that the FA-induced cell death is a PCD and is modulated by NO signalling through caspase-3-like activation.

Poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) was introduced into a polyurethane (PU) solution in order to prepare electrospun scaffold with improving the biocompatibility by electrospinning technology for potential application as small diameter vascular scaffolds. Crosslinked electrospun PU/PEGMA hybrid nanofibers were fabricated by a reactive electrospinning process with N , N ′-methylenebisacrylamide as crosslinker and benzophenone as photoinitiator. The photoinduced polymerization and crosslinking reaction took place simultaneously during the electrospinning process. The electrospinning solutions with various weight ratios of PU/PEGMA were successfully electrospun. No significant difference in the scaffold morphology was found by SEM when PEGMA content was <20 wt%. The crosslinked fibrous scaffolds of PU/PEGMA exhibited higher mechanical strength than the pure PU scaffold. The hydrophilicity of scaffolds was controlled by varying the PU/PEGMA weight ratio. The tissue compatibility of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds were tested using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cell morphology and cell proliferation were measured by SEM, fluorescence microscopy and thiazolyl blue assay (MTT) after 1, 3, 7 days of culture. The results indicated that the cell morphology and proliferation on the crosslinked PU/PEGMA scaffolds were better than that on the pure PU scaffold. Furthermore, the appropriate hydrophilic surface with water contact angle in the range of 55–75° was favorable of improvement the HUVECs adhesion and proliferation. Cells seeded on the crosslinked PU/PEGMA (80/20) scaffolds infiltrated into the scaffolds after 7 days of growth. These results indicated the crosslinked electrospun PU/PEGMA nanofibrous scaffolds were potential substitutes for artificial vascular scaffolds.

Hyperbranched polysulfonamine (HPSA) is a promising biomaterial due to its highly branched spherical architecture and efficient intracellular translocation. To realize the functionalization of HPSA, both N -succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP) for tethering the human-mouse chimeric monoclonal antibody CH12 and N -hydroxy succinimidyl S -acetylmercaptoacetyltriglycinate (NHS-MAG 3 ) for labeling 188 Re were sequentially grafted onto the primary amine terminals of HPSA via covalent linkages, attaining the SPDP-HPSA-MAG 3 intermediate. In order to reserve the structural integrity of CH12, the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region was also processed by oxidation of oligosaccharide moieties with sodium periodate and then reacted with N -( κ -maleimidoundecanoic acid) hydrazide (KMUH). After chelating 188 Re with MAG 3 group, the SPDP was reduced to PDP and connected onto the maleinimide group at the Fc region. As a result, both the epidermal growth factor receptor vIII (EGFRvIII) targeted monoclonal antibody CH12 and the radionuclide 188 Re were conjugated to the HPSA-based vehicles, forming the 188 Re-labeled and CH12-tethered HPSA (CH12-HPSA- 188 Re). The molecular weight and in vitro stability of CH12-HPSA- 188 Re were evaluated by gel electrophoresis and paper chromatography. On one hand, the CH12-HPSA- 188 Re could specifically bind to the EGFRvIII-positive human hepatocarcinoma cells in vitro . On the other hand, it could also target at the tumor tissue of nude mice in vivo . Hence, the CH12-HPSA- 188 Re could effectively target at the human hepatocarcinoma and facilitate the tumor detection and targeted radioimmunotherapy.

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate whether resveratrol (Res) combined with artemisinin (ART) possess synergistic effect on different cancer cells. Materials and methods The viability of HepG2 and HeLa cells treated with ART and Res was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Combination index (CI) analysis and isobologram were used to assess the synergistic effect of ART and Res in different ratios. Wound-healing assay was used to investigate the migration rate. AO staining and fluorescent microscopy measurements were performed to detect the cell apoptosis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured with 2′7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). Results MTT assay indicated that ART and Res inhibited the growth of HeLa and HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The combination of ART and Res exhibited the strongest anticancer effect at the ratio of 1:2 (ART to Res). The combination of the two drugs also markedly reduced the ability of cell migration. Apoptosis analysis showed that combination of ART and Res significantly increased the apoptosis and necrosis rather than use singly. Additionally, ROS levels were elevated by combining ART with Res. Conclusions Taken together, the present study suggested that ART and Res possessed the synergistic anti-tumor effect. ART in combination with Res could be an effective therapeutic strategy for cancer.

Owing to the hypoxia status of the tumor, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production during photodynamic therapy (PDT) of the tumor is less efficient. Herein, a facile method which involves the synthesis of Mg–Mn–Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) clay with MoS2 doping in the surface and anionic layer space of LDH was presented, to integrate the photo-thermal effect of MoS2 and imaging and catalytic functions of Mg–Mn–Al LDH. The designed LDH-MoS2 (LMM) clay composite was further surface-coated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to maintain the colloidal stability of LMM in physiological environment. A photosensitizer, chlorin e6 (Ce6), was absorbed at the surface and anionic layer space of LMM@BSA. In the LMM formulation, the magnetic resonance imaging of Mg–Mn–Al LDH was enhanced thanks to the reduced and acid microenvironment of the tumor. Notably, the ROS production and PDT efficiency of Ce6 were significantly improved, because LMM@BSA could catalyze the decomposing of the overexpressed H2O2 in tumors to produce oxygen. The biocompatible LMM@BSA that played the synergism with tumor microenvironment is a promising candidate for the effective treatment of cancer.

In the quest for alternative products that would conquer natural enzyme drawbacks, enzyme-like nanomaterials with controllable morphology, high catalytic activity, excellent stability, and reusability have gained extensive attention in recent years. Herein, a simple and versatile strategy based on basic deep eutectic solvents was used to create layered copper hydroxide nitrate (Cu 2 (OH) 3 NO 3 ) with a well-structured nanosheet-like morphology. The present nanosheets exhibited extraordinary oxidase and peroxidase-like activity. More importantly, these nanosheets have shown the ability to operate at low and high temperatures with appreciable stability and multiple reusabilities. Based on inhibiting the oxidase-like activity of the prepared Cu 2 (OH) 3 NO 3 , we designed a colorimetric sensing technique with a high-efficiency detection of biothiols in serum samples. Because of the simplicity and low-cost fabrication approach, our findings would be beneficial to the artificial enzyme research community as another facile and green tactics to fabricate heterogeneous artificial enzymes.
