Here, a facile method is reported to prepare multifunctional cotton fabrics with high flame retardancy, high electrical conductivity, superamphiphobicity, and high electromagnetic shielding. The cotton fabric surface was first modified with phytic acid (PA), which promoted dehydration and carbonization of cellulose to increase flame retardancy in the process of pyrolysis. Tannic acid (TA) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) coating with nanospheres as interlayers created hierarchical roughness that facilitated the construction of superamphiphobic surfaces and provided adhesion sites for silver nanoparticles. In addition, the TA-APTES coating improved flame retardancy because the APTES-containing silicon could form silicon carbon layers to isolate heat and oxygen. Subsequently, the surface energy of the composite cotton fabric was reduced by fluorine-containing molecules. The prepared composite cotton fabric exhibited excellent superamphiphobicity with contact angles of 160.3 and 152° for water and olive oil, respectively. The conductivity and EMI shielding efficiency of the prepared composite cotton fabric reached 629.93 S/cm and 76 dB, respectively. Importantly, the composite cotton fabric maintained a relatively stable EMI shielding efficiency even after cyclic bending and abrasion tests. Moreover, the composite cotton fabric possessed a high limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 45.3% and self-extinguishing properties with the peak heat release rate (PHHR) and total heat release (THR) reduced by 73 and 67%, respectively, than the pure cotton fabric, indicating the outstanding flame retardancy.

Although the roots of Achyranthes bidentata (AB), Cyathula officinalis (CO) and Achyranthes aspera (AA) are different drugs, they are always confused in clinical practice due to their similar chemical components and functions. As polysaccharides are abundant in these drugs, a systematic comparison of polysaccharides from AB, CO and AA is not only necessary to understand their similar but not identical functions, but also helpful for the quality control of them. In this study, polysaccharides from 22 batches of AB, CO and AA were compared with monosaccharide composition , molecular weight distribution and saccharide mapping. Polysaccharides of AB, CO and AA had similar monosaccharide compositions but their relative contents of fructose, glucuronic acid , galacturonic acid and glucose were significant different, and could be used as key markers to distinguish them. Results from molecular weight distribution and saccharide mapping showed polysaccharides from AB, CO and AA were mainly composed of fructans with β-2,1 and β-2, 6- D -fructosidic linkages, but their degree of polymerization were different. Meanwhile, pectins were also contained in these three drugs. AB is partial to immunomodulation while CO is partial to removing blood stasis . Fructans and pectins are the similar bioactive substance basis of AB, CO and AA whereas their structural difference might be contributed to the efficacy differentia of these three drugs. This study provides a better understanding on the profiles of polysaccharides from AB, CO and AA, further guiding their clinical usage and facilitating their quality control.

Pursuing special negatively charged adsorbents is critical to selectively removing cationic pollutants from effluent. Herein, we proposed a versatile preparation strategy of negatively charged saccharide-based polymers using easily available saccharides as building blocks and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene as a linker in a facile “one-step” method. Because of the existence of numerous hydroxyl groups and phosphine nitrile units in the skeleton, these polymers show selective adsorption capacity towards cationic dyes and pharmaceuticals, but not for ionic dyes and uncharged bisphenol A. Notably, β-cyclodextrin-based polymers (β-CDPs) displayed remarkable adsorption towards methylene blue (Q m , 1563 mg g −1 ) and promethazine (Q m , 944 mg g −1 ). Systematic experiments revealed that the synergy of “host-guest” inclusion, electrostatic attraction, and π-π interaction promoted the selective and efficient adsorption of cationic pollutants. Given the efficiently selective adsorption of cationic dyes and pharmaceuticals, these negatively charged saccharide-based polymers should be candidates for the adsorption of other cationic pollutants, including heavy metal ions. This work expanded the scope of the special utilization of biomass-based adsorbents for water remediation.

Herein, we demonstrated that sublethal-dose exposure to triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) triggered larval zebrafish immunotoxicity. Acute exposure to TCS induced significant increases in larval neutrophils and macrophages and a prominent decrease in thymic T cells. In contrast, three kinds of cells (neutrophils, macrophages, and thymic T cells) were significantly reduced under TCC exposure, suggesting that both TCS and TCC suppress thymus development and mature T-cell differentiation. TCC was confirmed to have more severe immunotoxicity than TCS. Using Illumina RNA-Seq, 581 and 738 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the TCS and TCC treatments, respectively. GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses revealed that the DEGs were not identical in terms of biological processes, cellular components and molecular functions, but were primarily involved in immune response. KEGG analysis showed that approximately 47% and 11% of DEGs were mainly enriched in the immune system of the TCC and TCS treatments, respectively. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis confirmed that the hub genes enriched in the immune-related pathways differed between TCS and TCC exposure. The hub genes were fynb, mapk12b, scarb1, pik3r2, prkg3, srfa, arhgef2, cldn15la , and cldn15lb in the TCS treatment, and plg, serping1, masp2, fgg, vtnb, mmp9, serpine1, il1b, sb:cb37 and stat3 in the TCC treatment. Molecular docking simulation demonstrated that both TCS and TCC were stably docked with their target hub genes, and that their target molecules for inducing immunotoxicity were different. The differential target molecules and action pathways induced by TCS and TCC exposure provide us with diagnostic targets and toxicological endpoints.

Self-assembly is a technique that utilizes non-covalent interactions between molecules to assemble into ordered nano-scale aggregates from disordered states. Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique is one of the commonly applied methods for constructing molecular assemblies at gas-liquid interfaces. In this study, a series of ordered composite films of amino-functionalized carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-NH 2 ) and different dye molecules were prepared using LB technique. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance of MWCNTs-NH 2 /dye composite films was investigated. The experimental results showed that MWCNTs-NH 2 /Methylene blue (MB) composite film exhibited good SERS enhancement performance for Rhodamine 6 G (R6G) molecules with an enhanced factor (EF) of 2.16 × 10 5 , and had certain repeatability and uniformity, making it suitable for the detection of trace molecule. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of MWCNTs-NH 2 /dye composite films were also explored. MWCNTs-NH 2 /MB composite film not only exhibited the highest photocurrent value but also had the smallest impedance compared with the other films, indicating that it had lower impedance, better carrier transport rate, and more stable performance. This work provides an effective method for fabricating the composite LB films based on the carbon nanotubes with great SERS and photoelectric conversion efficiency.

In this study, metal–organic framework (MOF)-functionalized sponge columns were prepared using a simple approach by embedding melamine sponge in a homogeneous MOF solution and first applied in the removal of methyl orange dye from water samples. Various MOF materials (MIL-101(Cr), MIL-101(Fe), ZIF-8(Zn), HKUST-1(Cu), and MIL-68(Al)) with different structures were synthesized and used as coating materials for a blank sponge. This method not only can be used for a wide variety of MOF materials, but also can retain their unique properties. The results show that the sponge as an adsorbed base material can effectively simplify the separation procedures of adsorption. Under the optimal conditions, the prepared MOF/PVDF-sponge column had an excellent adsorption capacity (229.4 mg g −1 ) toward methyl orange and reached the equilibrium within 1 h. With simple one-step infiltration, excellent adsorption properties and simple operation, the MOF/PVDF-sponge column presents a promising commercial value. Moreover, this study provides a new approach for exploring functional porous sponges for adsorption of dyes from environmental water samples.

Through this study, a variety of carbon spheres/dye (CS/dye) composite films were prepared based on the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technology. The prepared CS/dye composite films were tested for acid and alkali gases discoloration characteristics. The CS/CR composite film shows good acid/alkaline gas sensing performances, and its characteristic absorption peaks have a significant movement in the UV–vis spectrum. In addition, the surface enhancement of the Raman scattering (SERS) experiment proves the good Raman enhancement performance of the prepared composite LB film with the enhanced factor (EF) of 8.5 × 10 4 . The relative standard deviation of Raman intensity is 24.74 %, indicating the good reproducibility and uniformity of composite film, which makes it applicable to the detection of trace molecules. Furthermore, the CS/NR composite film has a current density of 1217 μA/cm 2 when the potential voltage is 1 V, indicating that the composite film has a high carrier transfer rate, which provides a reference for further exploration of optoelectronic devices of CSs system.

This study aimed to compare the immune function and gut microbiota between double-layer caged and litter floor pen-raised broiler chickens. Eighty meaty male chicks were selected and divided into cage group and litter floor group, with 20 replicates in each group. The broilers were raised in the same chicken house. The rearing density of the two rearing systems was same. The broilers were sampled on days 13 and 34. The results showed that compared with the cage group, the litter floor broilers had worse growth performance (23.24% increase in feed conversion ratio) in the early stage; better slaughter performance at day 42; stronger peripheral immune function (including higher lysozyme activity, T-cell ratio, Th-cell ratio, Tc-cell ratio, CD4/CD8, IL-10, B-cell ratio, IgG and IgA levels; and spleen immune-related gene expression); and stronger intestinal immune function (including higher ileum CD80, AvBD2, Mucin2, NF-κB, IL-8, IFN-γ/IL-4, and IgA mRNA expression levels and ileal mucosa sIgA levels). Compared with the cage group, the alpha diversity of ileum microbiota of the litter floor broilers was higher, and the relative abundance levels of litter breeding bacteria (Facklamia, Globicatella, and Jeotgalicoccus) and potential pathogenic bacteria (Streptococcus and Staphylococcus) were higher (P < 0.05). Through Spearman correlation analysis, it was found that enriched microbes in the ileum of litter floor broilers were positively correlated with immune function. In summary, compared with cage broilers, litter floor broilers had more potential pathogenic bacteria and litter breeding bacteria in the ileum, which may be one of the important reasons for the stronger immune function status.IMPORTANCE In China, the three-dimensional rearing system (cage) for broilers has gradually become a trend. In production, it was found that the incidence of disease in broiler chickens raised in cage systems was significantly higher than that of ground litter. Given that broilers raised on ground litter systems may be exposed to more environmental microbes, it is important to understand whether the rearing environment affects the function and status of the host immune system by altering the gut microbiota. In this study, rearing environment-derived gut microbes associated with stronger immune function in ground litter broilers were provided, which will provide new insights into strategies to target gut microbes to promote immune function and status in broilers raised in cages.

Two kinds of copper-based metal fluorescent nanoclusters were successfully prepared by the chemical reduction method; one of them (CuNCs) was synthesized by direct reduction of copper sulfate, and the other (CuAuNCs) was synthesized by the stepwise addition of copper salt and chloroauric acid. CuNCs were used to establish the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system with neutral red (NR) due to the supramolecular effect of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) modified on the surface of CuNCs. NR could enter the hydrophobic cavity of β-CD and narrow the distance between CuNCs and NR, which could lead to FRET. Fluorescence was transferred from CuNCs to NR, resulting in amplification of the NR fluorescence signal, which could be used to detect vanillin. In addition, CuAuNCs with strong fluorescence were used as fluorescent probes to detect vanillin through the quenching mechanism. By comparison, the simplicity of CuNC synthesis and the high selectivity of β-CD made the FRET method more practical, which may provide a new strategy for assaying vanillin.

Solvent resistant nanofiltration membranes with both improved permeability and long-term stability are in desperate demand for organic solvent recovery. In this study, a high-performance molybdenum sulfide (MoS 2 )-poly-trimethylsilylpropyne (PTMSP) nanocomposite membrane was prepared on polysulfone (PSf) through a facile solution casting method, which was used for efficient organic solvent recovery. Two-dimensional (2D) MoS 2 was employed to construct interlayer channels that facilitated the passage of solvents and blocked small molecule solutes. Compared with the pristine PTMSP membrane, the methanol permeance of modified membrane increased by 47% (5.89 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ) while remaining the retention rate of RB of 97.14%. The obtained membrane exhibited superior mechanical strength as well as excellent stability. Moreover, the resultant membrane also showed more precise molecular sieving capability than most reported polymer membranes. This work demonstrated that incorporating 2D MoS 2 nanosheets into PTMSP polymer is a promising method to obtain organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membranes with excellent separation performance and favorable long-term stability.

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have great potential applications in biological imaging, medical treatment and optical sensing. However, the development of an inorganic-organic hybrid fluorescent probe to accurately detect noxious ions and scientifically assess irritation in vivo remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a fluorescent nanoprobe for detecting nitrites (NO 2 − ) and assessing the irritation in jellyfish cell. The nanoprobe was assembled by linking neutral red to the surface of polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified NaGdF 4 :Yb,Er@NaYF 4 core/shell nanoparticles. The nanoprobe could efficiently capture the NO 2 − in jellyfish and simultaneously visualize the process. It's known that the intensity ratio of green to red emission (IRGRE) of neutral red modified upconversion nanoparticles increases linearly with the amount of NO 2 − increasing. Moreover, the irritation of NO 2 − was assessed in jellyfish cells using neutral red modified fluorescent nanoprobe based on cell imaging and spectrum signals, that NO 2 − has irrecoverable injury to the cells. This work based on dye-modified upconversion luminescence nanoprobe is expected to shed further light on the biological analysis and detection of ions.

A novel voltammetric electronic tongue (VE-tongue) system based on three nanocomposites modified working electrodes was used for the discrimination of red wine from different geographical origins. The three types of modified working electrodes were fabricated to detect glucose (Glu), tartaric acid (TA), and non-specific flavor information in a red wine sample, respectively. The electrochemical properties of three electrodes were tested by cyclic voltammetric method, and pH, accumulation time, and scan rates were optimized for Glu and TA sensors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray proton spectrum (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used for the characterization of modified materials. This sensor array was then applied to identify four kinds of red wines from different geographical origins, and the multi-frequency and potential steps (STEP) method was used to obtain flavor information regarding rice wines. The classification ability of this VE-tongue system was evaluated by using partial least squares (PLS) regression and principal component analysis (PCA), while back propagation neural network (BPNN), random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVM), deep neural network (DNN), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) were used for the prediction. The results showed that PCA could explain about the 95.7% of the total variance, and BPNN performed best in the prediction work (the prediction accuracy was 95.8%). Therefore, the VE-tongue system with BPNN was chosen to effectively discriminate red wines from different geographical origins, and the novel VE-tongue aiming at red wine discrimination with high accuracy and lower cost was established.Keywords:nanocomposites;voltammetric electronic tongue;glucose;tartaric acid;red wine;discrimination
