Excitotoxicity and neuronal death following epilepsy involve α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs). It forms a protein complex with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and co-internalizes upon activation of AMPA receptors after epilepsy. Disruption of the GluA2 /GAPDH complex with an interfering peptide , TAT- GluA2 NT1-3-2 , protects cells against AMPAR-mediated excitotoxicity, which have been identified in in-vitro and in-vivo models of brain ischemia. We postulated that disruption of the GluA2 /GAPDH interaction with the TAT- GluA2 NT1-3-2 peptide would also protect against AMPAR-induced neuronal injury in an in-vivo model of status epilepticus (SE). In the present study, we divided pilocarpine -induced SE Wistar rats into three main groups: the TAT- GluA2 NT1-3-2 peptide group, the TAT- GluA2 NT-scram peptide group, and the normal saline group, and injected different doses of peptides stereotaxically into the hippocampus of SE rats to investigate whether the GluA2 /GAPDH interaction could be disrupted by our TAT- GluA2 NT1-3-2 peptide and determine its most appropriate dose. Then, the dose was administered stereotaxically at different time points after SE to determine the best administration time of neuronal protection. We found that the TAT- GluA2 NT1-3-2 peptide can disrupt the GluA2 /GAPDH interaction and protects against epilepsy-induced neuronal damage. The GluA2 /GAPDH interaction may be a novel therapeutic target for epilepsy.

Mg 1–3 x (CoNiZn) x Ta 2 O 6 ceramics ( x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.25) were synthesized by the solid-phase reaction method. The XRD and Rietveld refinement results suggest that the Mg 1–3 x (CoNiZn) x Ta 2 O 6 ceramics have a pure tri-rutile structure. (Co 1/3 Ni 1/3 Zn 1/3 ) 2+ can significantly broaden the sintering temperature range of ceramics. The chemical bonding theory reveals that the A-O bond (A = Mg, Co, Ni, or Zn) ionicity and Ta-O bond ionicity are closely related to the porosity corrected relative permittivity ( ε r -corr. ). The increase in A-O bond energy contributes to the greater stability of the AO 6 octahedron , resulting in a decrease in | τ f |. Additionally, the Raman spectroscopy reveals that there is a negative relationship between the Qf value and the full width at half maximum ( FWHM ) of the strongest peak of the A 1g mode. Correspondingly, Mg 0.4 (CoNiZn) 0.2 Ta 2 O 6 ceramic has excellent microwave dielectric properties after sintering at 1450°C for 4 h: ε r = 28.9, Qf = 91,900 GHz (at 7.4 GHz), and τ f = 44 ppm/°C. Furthermore, Mg 0.4 (CoNiZn) 0.2 Ta 2 O 6 ceramic can maintain a stable Qf value (∼ 91,000 GHz) across a broad range of sintering temperatures (150°C), which is a result of the combination of densification and FWHM . This characteristic facilitates adaptation to changes in furnace temperature in large-scale production. The strategy of multiple-element substitution to extend the sintering temperature range is expected to be applied to other ceramic systems.

A series of 2,3-diaryl-4-thiazolidinone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative properties against two well-known cancer cell lines (A549 as human lung cancer and MDA-MB-231 as human breast cancer). Structure activity relationship (SAR) analysis resulted in the discovery of 2-(3-(arylalkyl amino carbonyl)phenyl)-3-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-4-thiazolidinone derivatives with high potent inhibitory effects on the proliferation of both cancer cell lines. Furthermore, several compounds with potent antiproliferative activities displayed excellent inhibitory activities on migration with an IC 50 of about 0.05 μM on MDA-MB-231 cells in two different migration assays. In particular, compound 39 was indicated to suppress tumor growth and metastasis as well as promote survival rate. Intriguingly, this series of analogs have been indicated to inhibit tumor cell proliferation through inducing cell cycle arrest . These results suggested that the new series of 2-(3-(arylalkyl amino carbonyl)phenyl)-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-thiazolidinone derivatives could be regarded and developed as novel highly potential anticancer agents in the future.

The research on the heterogeneous catalytic synthesis of tetrazoles has attracted great attention. In this paper, a tungsten atom-containing AlPO-5 microporous molecular sieve (termed as WAlPO-5) was designed and synthesized by the incorporation of tungsten atoms into the AlPO-5 skeleton with triethylamine as a structure template from pseudoboehmite, H3PO4 and tungstophosphoric acid. The incorporation of tungsten atoms into the AlPO-5 skeleton has been demonstrated by systematic characterizations. WAlPO-5 can be used as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles by [3+2] cycloaddition from nitriles and sodium azide. As a novel heterogeneous catalyst, WAlPO-5 exhibits a high catalytic activity, a superior cycling stability and an excellent substrate applicability. The significant advantages of WAlPO-5, such as the simple procedure and the mild reaction conditions and as an alternative to those corrosive, hazardous and polluting homogeneous catalysts, warrant its potential application in industrial processes.

Preparing polymers from allyl monomers without being hindered by degradative chain transfer (DCT) remains a challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of embolic microspheres based on allyl monomers for transcatheter arterial embolization using a photodriven radical-mediated [3 + 2] cyclization reaction (PRMC) without metal catalysis. The mechanism of PRMC was validated by thermal and spectral experiments, indicating that PRMC overcomes the restrictions of DCT and makes it possible to synthesize a variety of well-defined polymers from inert allyl monomers. The embolization microspheres based on poly(sucrose allyl ether) were characterized by morphological determination, degradation and swelling tests. Cell experiments show that the microspheres have good biocompatibility. The complete arterial occlusion of the embolized kidneys was observed, indicating that microspheres have broad application prospects in embolization interventional therapy.

Zygosaccharomyces rouxii referred as Yeast S is an important microorganism widely applied in traditional fermented food to accelerate flavor formation. Z. rouxii 3-2 referred as Yeast S 3-2 constructed previously is a new strain having higher salt tolerance than wild type. In this study, salt stress response of synthesis key flavor metabolites 3-methylthiopropanol, 2-phenylethyl alcohol, and isoamyl acetate in Yeast S and S 3-2 were investigated based on SPME–GC–MS and RT-qPCR. Analysis of GC–MS data showed that high salinity led to increase the contents of 3-methylthiopropanol and 2-phenylethyl alcohol both in Yeast S and Yeast S 3-2, while inhibited the synthesis of isoamyl acetate, and the induced effect on Yeast S 3-2 was more pronounced than Yeast S. Furthermore, the RT-qPCR results revealed that the salinity could enhance the genes expression of ARO10 and PDC1 , and stronger effect on Yeast S 3-2 than S. However, the gene expression of AFT1 was reduced in high-salt culture conditions, which was consistent with the results of GC–MS data. The results presented in this study can provide theoretical support of Z. rouxii 3-2 application during food fermentation.

To improve the sensitivity for electro-chemiluminescent (ECL) detection of chloramphenicol (CAP), a common broad-spectrum antibiotic, boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) were prepared with excellent photoelectric property and low toxicity. After its structure and electrochemical property were investigated in detail, it was noted that the ECL signal of Ru(Phen)32+ could be strengthened by the proposed BNQDs, which was further activated by ten's times in the presence of CAP. Under the optimized conditions, there was an excellent linear relationship between ΔECL and lgcCAP in a wide linear range from 1.0 × 10−10 to 1.0 × 10−6 mol l−1 CAP. The detection limit was super-low to be 3.3 × 10−11 mol l−1 (S/N = 3). When applied for CAP detection in real pharmaceutical and food samples, the recoveries were between 97.8% and 105.7% with R.S.D. less than 3.3%. A possible CAP-activated ECL mechanism of BNQDs-Ru(phen)32+ was also proposed. This work will offer a great potential for efficient monitoring of CAP pollution and clinical diagnosing of CAP-related diseases in future.

Atherosclerosis is a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The trimethylamine (TMA)-trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) pathway is a key crossover pathway highly associated with diet, gut microbiome, and atherosclerosis. The Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis F1-3–2 ( Bif. animalis F1-3–2, No. CCTCCM2020832) was screened through in vitro and in vivo experiments in the early stage of this study with excellent lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory function. By building an atherosclerosis model and focusing on TMAO, the specific mechanism of Bif. animalis F1-3–2 to improve atherosclerosis was explored. The study found that Bif. animalis F1-3–2 effectively improved the accumulation of aortic plaque in atherosclerotic mice. The strain improved lipid metabolism in serum and liver. It decreased the serum TMA and TMAO, regulated bile acid composition, participated in the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) pathway to improve lipid metabolism, and further reduced the aortic macrophage foam cell accumulation. In addition, the strain could improve the structure of the intestinal microbiome and reduce the proportion of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. The abundance of Turicibacter , Clostridium sensu stricto_1 , and Romboutsia was reduced at the genus level. The differential microbiota is highly correlated with bile acid metabolism, which is speculated to be involved in ameliorating atherosclerotic lipid metabolism disorders. Graphical abstract

The rational design of D–A type polymeric photocatalysts using triphenylamine (TPA) as the electron donor (D) and a benzothiadiazole derivative (BTDO) as the electron acceptor (A) is investigated. To optimize photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, we systematically enhanced the electron-donating capability by incorporating oligothiophene linkers of different lengths, monothiophene (T), bithiophene (DT), and terthiophene (TT), between the TPA and BTDO units. Comprehensive characterization revealed that the number of thiophene rings significantly affects both the photophysical and electrochemical properties of the polymers, thereby directly affecting photocatalytic activity. The results demonstrate that introducing thiophene oligomers significantly improves performance, with the terthiophene (TT) linker proving exceptionally advantageous. The TPA-TT-BTDO polymer exhibits a substantially broadened visible light absorption range, a reduced bandgap, and most critically, highly efficient suppression of photogenerated charge carrier recombination. This enhancement is attributed to the unique coplanar conformation enforced by the TT unit, which minimizes the dihedral angle between TPA and BTDO, facilitating intramolecular charge transfer. TPA-TT-BTDO achieved an outstanding photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 101.2 mmol h−1 g−1 under visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm) at 10 °C without noble metal co-catalysts. Remarkably, its activity further increased to 125 mmol h−1 g−1 under natural sunlight irradiation. Systematic analysis revealed that longer thiophene chains induce a bathochromic shift, diminish PL intensity, yet improve photoelectrochemical properties and charge transfer efficiency. This work validates the molecular design strategy of precisely controlling oligothiophene chain length to modulate the band structure and electronic properties of D–A polymers. The superior performance of TPA-TT-BTDO stems synergistically from its extended light harvesting, efficient charge separation, and rapid interfacial transfer. These findings may provide crucial insights and practical guidance for developing high-efficiency polymeric photocatalysts through targeted molecular engineering.

In this work, a novel and highly selective molecularly imprinted sensor for the detection of melamine in milk using electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is reported. The preparation was carried out by modification of a glassy carbon electrode with a composite of silica nanoparticles doped with [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ (RUDS) and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). The keys of the sensor were to employ RUDS as an ECL luminophore to prevent [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ leaching from the modified electrode and MIP as a material for selective recognition. Taking advantage of the MIP pre-concentration effect, melamine could be extracted from the solution and detected by the resulting ECL signal enhancement of [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ . Under optimized conditions, the relative ECL signal was proportional to the logarithm of melamine concentration in the range of 1 × 10 −12 –1 × 10 −7 mol L −1 , with a detection limit as low as 5 × 10 −13 mol L −1 . Compared with the RUDS/non-imprinted polymer, the RUDS/MIP modified electrode displayed high recognition ability, good reproducibility, and stability. To verify its reliability, the fabricated ECL sensor was used for determining the concentration of melamine in milk.

The poly(3-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid)/Ru(bpy) 3 2+ modified glassy carbon electrode (PAHBS/Ru(bpy) 3 2+ /GCE) is a novel solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. It was prepared by electropolymerization of 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonicacid (AHBS) followed by soaking into Ru(bpy) 3 2+ solution. Ru(bpy) 3 2+ was entrapped on the electrode via the electrostatic interactions between sulfonic acid groups and Ru(bpy) 3 2+ cation. The morphology and composition of the modified electrodes were analysed using scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersed spectrum. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to compare the electrochemical behavior of the electrodes before and after modification. Under the optimal conditions, the ECL intensity of the quenching value (ΔECL) versus the logarithm of the concentration of malachite green (MG) was linear over a concentration range from 5.0 × 10 -8 to 1.0 × 10 -5 mol L -1 ( r = 0.9931) and the limit of detection (LOD) was 2.5 × 10 -8 mol L -1 . This method has been successfully applied to the determination of MG in pond water.
