In this paper, we reported on the photoluminescence properties of novel Eu 3+ -activated KBaLu(MoO 4 ) 3 red-emitting phosphors. Under 395 and 465 nm excitations, the as-prepared samples gave bright sharp red emissions around 592, 615, 655, and 701 nm, corresponding to 5 D 0 → 7 F J (J = 1, 2, 3, and 4) transitions of Eu 3+ ions. The 615 nm red emission due to the 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transition was dominant in the emission spectra, indicating the Eu 3+ ions occupied non-inversion centrosymmetric sites in KBaLu(MoO 4 ) 3 host lattice. Eu 3+ doping concentration dependent luminescence properties were studied, and the KBaLu(MoO 4 ) 3 :0.8Eu 3+ sample exhibited the strongest emission intensity. The CIE color coordinates and color purity of the optimal KBaLu(MoO 4 ) 3 :0.8Eu 3+ sample were determined to be (0.6655, 0.3311) and 96.7%, respectively. Besides, temperature-dependent emission spectra demonstrated that the KBaLu(MoO 4 ) 3 :0.8Eu 3+ phosphors also exhibited excellent thermal stability (I 423k /I 303k = 88%) with activation energy △E of 0.204 eV. These obtained results indicated that the newly discovered KBaLu(MoO 4 ) 3 :Eu 3+ red phosphors were promising color converters for application in white light-emitting diodes and display devices.

Wastewater treatment becomes an important part to improve environmental quality and protect water resources. Thus, developing a new photocatalyst is a key solution for environmental issues. Herein, universal, highly efficient, and novel Bi 2 (O,S) 3 /Mo(O,S) 2 nanocomposite photocatalyst was fabricated by a facile method and the crystal structure, morphology, composition, and optical properties of the as-prepared catalysts were characterized in details. The photocatalytic performance of the catalysts was evaluated by the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO), rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), and neutral red (NR), the results showed that 20% Bi-MoOS nanocomposite had excellent photodegradation activity towards all dyes. 96.0% of MO, 96.6% of RhB, 98.8% of MB and 91.3% of NR dyes were removed after 180 min, 40 min, 20 min, and 25 min visible light irradiation, respectively. The photodegradation of these dyes was further confirmed with HPLC. The excellent photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposites was due to the efficient separation and transport of photogenerated charge carriers induced by the fabricated binary heterostructures. The photodegradation fitted well the pseudo-first-order kinetics. The active species capture experiment study showed that, OH, O 2 − and h + all took parts in the degradation of dyes. The stability of the catalyst and reaction mechanism also explained in this work.

The water-soluble sulfated derivatives, apigenin-8-sulfonate sodium (AS) and apigenin-3′, 8-disulfonate sodium (ADS) derived from parent apigenin (AP), were synthesized and characterized by infrared (IR) spectra, hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR), carbon nuclear magnetic resonance ( 13 C NMR), high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS), and elemental analysis. The mice model of hepatotoxicity induced by d -Galactosamine ( d -GalN) was used to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of AP, AS, and ADS. The results indicated that AP, AS, and ADS could reduce the level of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) induced by d -GalN, and restore the activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and catalase (CAT) toward normal levels. The histological results also suggested that AP, AS, and ADS could alleviate liver toxicity. The possible mechanisms could be ascribed to the protection role of AP, AS, and ADS, which kept hepatic cells from oxidative damage and maintain intracellular antioxidant enzyme activity. These findings uncovered that AP, AS, and ADS were able to protect liver from d -GalN-induced acute damage, and AS was the most potent hepatoprotective drug among the three compounds.

Two different aromatic diamines monomers (3, 5-diamino-N-(4'-phenyl-4''-triphenylamino)-N-(4''-benzyl-4'''-triphenylamino)benzamide (DPTBTB) and 3, 5-diamino-N-(4'-3'', 4'', 5''-trifluorobiphenyl)-N-(4''-benzyl-3''', 4''', 5'''-trifluorophenyl)benzamide (DTBTB)) containing flexible linkages were designed and synthesized, respectively. Four organo-solubility polyimides (PI-a, PI-b, PI-c, and PI-d) were prepared via a two-step procedure with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 3, 3', 4, 4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), respectively. The four PIs performed excellent thermal stability with the temperature of 5% weight loss in range of 370–420 ℃ at N 2 atmosphere. The Al/PI-a/ITO and Al/PI-b/ITO memory devices exhibited binary write-once-many-read (WORM) and rewritable (Flash) behavior, respectively. But the Al/PI-c/ITO and Al/PI-d/ITO memory devices showed ternary WORM and Flash behavior due to the deeper charge traps came from the fluorinated groups in the structure of PI-c and PI-d, respectively. The memory switching mechanism could be demonstrated through molecular simulation. The results gave an effective strategy that adjusting the structure of PI to achieve different memory effects.

Making inexpensive proton exchange membrane with high proton conductivity for the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is still a challenging problem. Graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles grafted with (3-amino-propyl) triethoxy silane (APTES) were prepared and then incorporated into sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) matrix by solution casting to make the composite proton exchange membrane. The obtained nanoparticles and composite membranes were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Raman, TGA, SEM, and UTM. GO treated with the silane coupling agent improved the dispersion stability and compatibility of GO in SPEEK, which decreased the agglomeration of GO nanoparticles in the SPEEK membrane. The prepared nanocomposite membranes exhibited better water retention properties and proton conductivity. The proton conductivity of the SPEEK membrane with 2 wt% amine functionalized GO (AGO) reached 11.32 mS/cm at 120 °C, which was 2.45-times higher than that of the pristine SPEEK membrane. The reason was that AGO nanoparticles disperse uniformly in the SPEEK membranes, which provides new channels for proton transfer. The potential application of this composite membrane in the PEMFC was indicated.

In this study, the interaction between 3-phenyl-1H-indazole (1a) and the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein was confirmed by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The structure feature of 1a was different from our previously reported FTO inhibitors (radicicol, N-CDPCB and CHTB); the Cl and diol group in structure motif is critical for inhibitors to bind to FTO. In order to test whether there is specificity for the interaction between FTO and 1a, the interactions between 1a and four important proteins (human serum albumin (HSA), pepsin, catalase and trypsin) were investigated by ITC, spectroscopy and molecular docking methods. ITC results showed spontaneous exothermic reactions occurring between 1a and the proteins except trypsin under investigated conditions. The order of the binding affinity of 3-phenyl-1H-indazole is catalase > HSA > FTO > pepsin. Comparison between ITC and spectral results was made. This work will provide the basis for the design of novel inhibitors for FTO.

Lipase catalysis has become the most promising technique for enrichment of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) due to its mild and green conditions. In this study, Trichosporon sp. F1-2 was newly isolated from oil-contaminated sludge, and its extracellular lipase was purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE-Sepharose chromatography. The molecular weight of the lipase was estimated to be 32.6 kDa. The optimal temperature and pH for lipase activity were 50 °C and 8.0, respectively, and the optimal storage conditions were found to be temperatures below 45 °C and pH 7.0–9.0. The lipase did not require metal ions as cofactors and was significantly inhibited by Zn 2+ . It was stable in various organic solvents with different log P values, and n-hexane, toluene, dichloromethane, diethyl ether and glycerol even enhanced its activity. It had sn -1,3 regioselectivity and the highest activity towards a medium-chain fatty acid (C8) ester. This study demonstrated the lipase has good potential as a catalyst in enrichment of EPA and DHA in fish oil. The content of EPA and DHA reached 22.9 and 25.4 mol%, respectively, using 100 U of the lipase within 24 h, and the enrichment efficiency of DHA was higher than that of EPA.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common intracranial tumor with characteristic of malignancy. Resveratrol, a natural originated polyphenolic compound, has been reported to act as a potential radiosensitizer in cancer therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the first choice for the diagnosis, pathological grading, and efficacy evaluation of GBM. In this study, MRI was applied to observe whether resveratrol could intensify the anti-GBM tumor effect by enhancing antitumor immunity during radiotherapy. We established an intracranial C6 GBM model in SD rats, treated with radiation and resveratrol. The increased body weight, the inhibition on mortality, and tumor volume in radiated- GBM rats were further enhanced by resveratrol addition, while the pathological damage of brain was alleviated. The modulation of radiation on inflammation, cell cycle, and apoptosis was strengthened by resveratrol; and Ki-67, PD-L1, and cell cycle- and apoptosis-related protein expressions were also improved by cotreatment. Besides, cotreatment attenuated DNA damage and induced G0/G1-phase cell arrest of GBM rats, accompanied with the changed expression of ATM-AKT-STAT3 pathway-related proteins. Moreover, the percentages of CD3+CD8+T cells and IFN-γ+CD8+T cells were enhanced, while (CD4+CD25+Foxp3)/CD4+T cells were decreased by radiation or resveratrol, which was strengthened by cotreatment. The modulation effect of cotreatment on CD3, Foxp3, and IFN-γ levels was also stronger than radiation or resveratrol alone. To conclude, resveratrol enhanced the effect of radiotherapy by inducing DNA damage and antitumor immunity in the intracranial C6 GBM.

Deregulation of receptor tyrosine kinase c-Met has been reported in human cancers and is considered as an attractive target for small molecule drug discovery . In this study, a series of spiro[indoline-3, 4′-piperidine]-2-ones were designed, synthesized and evaluated as novel c-Met inhibitors. The results showed that the majority of the compounds exhibited significant inhibitory effect on c-Met with IC 50 values of 0.0147–17 μM in TR-FRET-based assay and IC 50 values of 1.56–1400 μM in cell-based assay. Furthermore, our docking experiments verified the results and explained the molecular mechanism of eminent activities to c-Met.

Three Cu(II) complexes of quinoline derivatives as cancer chemodynamic therapy agents were synthesized and characterized. These complexes were heavily taken up by cells and reacted with cellular glutathione (GSH) to reduce Cu 2+ to Fenton-like Cu + , which catalyzed endogenous H 2 O 2 to produce the highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to kill cancer cells. Cu1 and Cu2 initiated CAT activity declines, mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP concentration decrease, mitochondrial Ca 2+ overload and ER stress response, leading to cell cycle arrest in sub-G1 and cancer cell caspase-dependent apoptosis . On account of the high GSH and H 2 O 2 specific properties of the tumor microenvironment , Cu1 and Cu2 exhibited higher in vitro anticancer activity and lower toxicity to normal cells. Cu1 and Cu2 efficiently inhibited tumor growth in the SK-OV-3 xenograft mouse model without obvious systemic toxicity.

The C-doped CdO photocatalysts were simply prepared by high-temperature solid-state process. The as-prepared photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results demonstrated that the carbon was doped into CdO, resulting in the red-shift of the optical absorption of CdO. The photocatalytic behavior of CdO and C-doped CdO was evaluated under the visible light irradiation by using the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution as a model reaction. The C-doped CdO photocatalysts had higher photocatalytic activity over parent CdO under visible light irradiation. The results indicated that the H2 production was due to the existence of CdS and the enhancement of visible light photocatalytic activity of H2 production was originated from the doping of carbon into the CdO lattice. The probably reaction mechanism was also discussed and proposed.

Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Results We found that the IUGR rat model induced by prenatal caffeine exposure (PCE) showed ASD-like symptoms, accompanied by altered gut microbiota and reduced production of indole 3-propionic acid (IPA), a microbiota-specific metabolite and a ligand of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). IUGR children also had a reduced serum IPA level consistent with the animal model. We demonstrated that the dysregulated IPA/AHR/NF-κB signaling caused by disturbed gut microbiota mediated the hippocampal microglia hyperactivation and neuronal synapse over-pruning in the PCE-induced IUGR rats. Moreover, postnatal IPA supplementation restored the ASD-like symptoms and the underlying hippocampal lesions in the IUGR rats. Conclusions This study suggests that the microbiota-IPA-brain axis regulates ASD susceptibility in PCE-induced IUGR offspring, and supplementation of microbiota-derived IPA might be a promising interventional strategy for ASD with a fetal origin.
