Hydrophilic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMNPs) were synthesized by introducing Fe 3 O 4 on the basis of mesoporous organosilicon nanoparticle hollow spheres as a drug carrier. N- and S- doped graphene quantum dots (NS-GQDs) and polyethylenimine (PEI) were grafted onto the surface of HMNPs. Finally, two types of composite mesoporous particles, HMNPs-NS-GQDs-PEI-HA and HMNPs-NS-GQDs-PEI-FA which can enter VX2 cells for fluorescence confocal imaging, were further modified by targeting ligand hyaluronic acid (HA) and folic acid (FA). The heteroatoms of NS-GQDs have intelligent functional effects, which can not only improve the photoluminescence performance of GQDs, but also generate conjugated quantum dots with GA, so as to synergistically improve the drug effectiveness. Under illumination by near-infrared (NIR) radiation, gambogic acid (GA)-loaded HMNPs was promoted to the sustained release of gambogic acid. The loading and sustained release of the anticancer drug GA on the compound mesoporous particles were studied. The cytotoxicity and antitumor properties of the compound mesoporous particles were investigated by both in vitro cell experiments and in vivo experiments in mice. The results showed that HMNPs-NS-GQDs-PEI-HA and HMNPs-NS-GQDs-PEI-FA have desired fluorescence and magnetic properties for cell fluorescence imaging and magnetic targeting of cancer cells. Both of composite mesoporous particles have desired loading capacity on GA and pH-responsive drug release behavior as well as low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. The cell survival rate of HMNPs-NS-GQDs-PEI-HA and HMNPs-NS-GQDs-PEI-FA loaded with GA was only 7.69% and 8.71%, respectively, after 24 h, which can effectively induce the apoptosis of VX2 cells. Tumor experiments in mice demonstrated that HMNPs-NS-GQDs-PEI-HA inhibits tumor growth and exhibits magnetic targeting function.

The combination of magnetic hyperthermia and chemotherapy within a nanosystem is thought to be a promising approach for cancer therapies. However, the nonspecific accumulation and fast clearance of magnetic nanoparticles in the physiological environment limited their further biomedical applications. Herein, we report a highly selective theranostic nanocomplex, ZIPP-Apt:DOX/siHSPs, built with superparamagnetic zinc-doped iron oxide nano-octahedral core, cationic PAMAM dendrimer, and functional surface modifications such as PEG, AS1411 aptamer, and fluorescent tags (FITC or Cy5.5), together with the loading of hydrophobic anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and HSP70/HSP90 siRNAs. Our results demonstrate that the cellular uptake and the tumor-specific accumulation of ZIPP-Apt:DOX/siHSPs were significantly increased due to the AS1411-nucleolin affinity and further confirmed that the simultaneous depletion of HSP70 and HSP90 sensitized magnetic hyperthermia and chemotherapy-induced cell death both in vitro and in vivo. Altogether, our study provides a theranostic nanoplatform for aptamer-targeted, NIR/MR dual-modality imaging guided, and HSP70/HSP90 silencing sensitized magnetochemotherapy, which has the potential to advance versatile magnetic nanosystems toward clinical applications.

The PtCo 3 nanoparticles (NPs of 2–5 nm) were synthesized by the organic phase reduction method and the PtCo 3 -C samples were obtained by physically loading the bimetallic NPs on the carbon black. The catalytic activity and stability of PtCo 3 -C for toluene oxidation under different reaction conditions were studied. The PtCo 3 -C can completely oxidize and decompose 1000 ppm toluene at 238 ℃ for at least 120 h, which has excellent low-temperature catalytic activity and thermal stability. In addition, PtCo 3 -C displays a great water and CO 2 resistance when 3.5 to 20 vol% water vapor (at least 110 h) or 3.5 to 10 vol% CO 2 (at least 60 h) is introduced into the reaction gas at 238 ℃. Moreover, the adsorption energy of toluene (−73.68 kJ mol −1 ) is much higher than that of water (−24.5 kJ mol −1 ) and CO 2 (−37.56 kJ mol −1 ), which were calculated by the density functional theory (DFT). Furthermore, catalytic mechanism of the oxidation of toluene over the PtCo 3 -C catalyst was also proposed. This study presents a good catalyst candidate obtaining high catalytic activity and stability with great water and CO 2 resistance for the removal of toluene.

Thrombosis is closely related to the instability of intracranial aneurysm (IA), whose rupture is associated with high morbidity and mortality. It is difficult to detect an IA-related thrombus because traditional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and even contrast-enhanced MRI cannot clearly distinguish a thrombus from the surrounding tissues. Herein, a nanoplatform [(MFe2O4–ZnDPA nanoparticles (NPs)], consisting of Zn0.4Co0.6Fe2O4@Zn0.4Mn0.6Fe2O4 NPs for imaging and Zn(II)-bis(dipicolylamine) (ZnDPA) for thrombus targeting, is constructed to target an experimental aneurysm-related thrombus in rabbits via MRI. In vitro experiments including platelet safety evaluation primarily prove that MFe2O4–ZnDPA NPs with a high MRI transverse relaxation time (T2) have good biocompatibility. MFe2O4–ZnDPA NPs could target a thrombus via the special interaction between ZnDPA and phosphatidylserine of activated platelets in the thrombus through MRI and Fe quantification assays. Moreover, after MFe2O4–ZnDPA NPs are injected into the ear vein of common carotid artery aneurysm model rabbits, MRI shows that MFe2O4–ZnDPA NPs could accumulate in the aneurysm-related thrombus from 0 to 15 min after injection and decrease in the next 45 min. Meanwhile, MFe2O4–ZnDPA NPs could decrease the MRI T2 signal of the aneurysm-related thrombus to enhance the outline of the aneurysm. This study demonstrates that a nanoplatform can enhance the detection of an aneurysm-related thrombus as well as aneurysm itself to assist further treatment of IA.

An in-situ and ex-situ cascade upgrade strategy was designed and used for upgrading Dahuangshan lignite-derived soluble mixtures (LDSMs) to obtain value-added chemicals and clean liquid fuels (CLFs), respectively. In the H 2 -free catalytic ethanolysis, Ni/mordenite can effectively activate ethanol and promote the transfer of various free radicals including H·, CH 3 CH 2 ·, and CH 3 CH 2 O·, which synchronously facilitates the cleavage of bridged bonds in Dahuangshan lignite and the in-situ removal of heteroatoms (HAs) from LDSMs. As a result, the total yield of LDSMs increased from 40.6 to 66.5 wt%, wherein that of ethanol-soluble portion (ESP) increased from 21.4 to 32.4 wt%. Interestingly, alkanes and arenes with higher relative content (RC, 38.1%) were detected in ESP C (for catalytic ethanolysis), while arenols (24.7%) dominate ESP N (for ethanolysis). The analysis with a quadrupole exactive orbitrap mass spectrometer further confirmed the significant decrease in the relative abundance of HAs, especially O x class species, in ESP C . In addition, ESP N and ESP C with different properties were further used for enriching derived chemicals and for obtaining CLFs by catalytic hydroconversion (CHC), respectively. After the CHC, the total RCs of alkanes and cyclanes in the soluble portion (SP) are as high as 71.3%, and the content of HA-containing organic compounds was further decreased. Therefore, such SP containing less HAs is an attractive CLF precursor. A ternary mixed solvent was also designed for rapidly separating the SP from ESP N . The total RC of alkanes and arenes in PE 5 as well as arenols in M 5 are as high as 79.4 and 70.9%, respectively. Molecular dynamics simulations were further used to reveal the rapid enrichment mechanisms with ternary mixed solvents.

A series of Fe 3 O 4 /PLA composites are controllably prepared using consecutive reaction route. The neat PLA and its composites are characterized by FT-IR, WAXRD and XPS for composition analysis. The performances of PLA and Fe 3 O 4 /PLA composites are, respectively, determined by SEM, VSM, CAM, POM, DSC and TG. Fe 3 O 4 particles are a good dispersion in the PLA matrix, and the saturation magnetization values of PLA have increased from 0.33 to 5.06 emu/g. When PLA is transformed into composites, the mean thickness of composites has decreased and water contact angle of composites has increased due to heavy and hydrophobicity Fe 3 O 4 . After addition of Fe 3 O 4 particles, the 50 k, 100 k and 200 k PLA’s crystallization rate is severally increased to 1.84, 1.56 and 1.44 times. It is concluded that the Fe 3 O 4 particles are the efficient crystallization nucleating agent of PLA and faster accelerate the crystallization of low molecular weight PLA in comparison with high molecular weight PLA. The melting points of Fe 3 O 4 /PLA composites slightly have decreased compared with the neat PLA, which is in accord with the melting point of the mixture that is lower than that of the pure substance. By introducing 5 mass% of Fe 3 O 4 particles to PLA, the initial decomposition temperatures reached to higher temperatures as compared to the neat PLA, and the final char yield is about 4.60%. The well dispersion of the particles in the PLA matrix is thought to be an effective barrier to the permeation of heat, which would improve the thermal stability.

Nanoheterostructures synthesized by cation exchange present the integration of synergetic designs into high-quality, well-defined catalysts for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. In this study, we synthesise core–shell Cu1.94S–MnS nanoheterostructured photocatalysts using a cation exchange reaction by employing djurleite Cu1.94S nanospheres as starting templates. Under simulated sunlight, the heterostructures exhibit a hydrogen evolution efficiency as high as 878.1 μmol h−1 g−1, representing 60-fold and 41-fold enhancement compared with pure Cu1.94S and MnS, respectively. As verified by photoelectrochemical characterization, the improved hydrogen production activity of the Cu1.94S–MnS nanoheterostructures can be attributed to their stronger light response characteristics and more effective charge transfer ability, which opens up opportunities to promote the photocatalytic performance using rationally designed nanostructures.

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is an important pathway for lignin-oil upgradation to produce high quality liquid fuels, in which the high-active catalyst is the key point to achieve a high HDO efficiency. In this study, Ru/TiO 2 , Ru/CeO 2 and Ru/TiO 2 –CeO 2 catalysts were synthesized by a novel photochemical method with a high Ru dispersion and used for the HDO of lignin-derived phenolic compounds. Among these three catalysts, Ru/TiO 2 –CeO 2 showed a better performance than Ru/TiO 2 and Ru/CeO 2 . And guaiacol was transformed into cyclohexane with conversion and product selectivity close to 100 % at 230 °C under 1 MPa hydrogen atmosphere. Ru/TiO 2 –CeO 2 took the advantages of Ru/TiO 2 and Ru/CeO 2 , namely high Ru metal dispersion, plenty of medium strength acid sites and abundance of oxygen vacancy , which promoted the guaiacol adsorption and the HDO catalytic activity . Moreover, Ru/TiO 2 –CeO 2 catalyst showed an effective upgrading of other lignin-derived phenolic compounds. And the lignin-oil also enabled to be upgraded efficiently, producing a high content of hydrocarbons and alkylphenols.

Imaging-guided therapy is promising to improve glioma treatment in a personalized way. However, it is still challenging to develop appropriate multifunctional materials to overcome the limitations faced by the current all-in-one theranostic agents, such as the heterogeneous formulations, mutual interference of multifunctionality, and complex toxicity studies. Herein, MnFe2O4 nanoparticle clusters, showing satisfactory magnetic resonance/photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided photothermal theranostic performance, were developed as a one-for-all gliomas therapeutic agent. The construction of the cluster structure endowed the theranostic agent with high T2-relaxation rate and photothermal conversion efficiency. Low toxicity and stark contrast effects of magnetic resonance/PAI whose advantages are complementary were demonstrated in vivo and in vitro. Ectopic gliomas significantly shrank or disappeared in the mouse models after 16 days of photothermal therapy. This work proposes a feasible strategy to design and promote high-efficiency theranostic agents for practical application.

Recently high yield of cycloalkanes originates from selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived bio-oil under mild conditions, which still encounters the great challenges. Herein, mordenite-supported ruthenium bifunctional catalyst (Ru 3% /M) was prepared by using the deposition-precipitation (DP) method for the HDO reaction of the petroleum ether-extractable portions (PEEP) from alkali catalytic ethanolysis of lignin (CEOL). Ru 3% /M catalyst was characterized systematically by XRD, XPS , FTIRS , NH 3 -TPD, N 2 -adsorption, SEM , and TEM, indicating that it had the moderate acid sites and uniform Ru nanoparticles dispersion. The synthesized catalyst was further tested for the HDO performance of diphenyl ether, oxybis(methylene)dibenzene, and anisole, respectively. Results showed that three lignin model compounds can be converted to high yield of cycloalkanes under 160 °C and 3 MPa H 2 in n -hexane. This catalyst showed the high catalytic activity for diphenyl ether HDO reaction, the conversion decreased slightly to 87.6% after five recycle times. Furthermore, catalyst feed mass was the key factor for HDO reaction of raw PEEP from CEOL, promoting the HDO reaction process to produce high yield of cycloalkanes. Interestingly, the mass ratio between catalyst feed and raw PEEP was 1, thus 74.36% relative content (RC) of cycloalkanes can be obtained. The upgraded PEEP from CEOL has potential to be used as clean liquid fuels.

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most effective imaging methods for the early diagnosis of HCC. However, the current MR contrast agents are still facing challenges in the early diagnosis of HCC due to their relatively low sensitivity and biosafety. Thus, the development of effective MR agents is highly needed for the early diagnosis of HCC. Results Herein, we fabricated an HCC-targeted nanocomplexes containing SPIO-loaded mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA@SPIO), sialic acid (SA)-modified polyethyleneimine (SA-PEI), and alpha-fetoprotein regulated ferritin gene (AFP-Fth) which was developed for the early diagnosis of HCC. It was found that the prepared nanocomplexes (MPDA@SPIO/SA-PEI/AFP-Fth) has an excellent biocompatibility towards the liver cells. In vivo and in vivo studies revealed that the transfection of AFP-Fth gene in hepatic cells significantly upregulated the expression level of ferritin, thereby resulting in an enhanced contrast on T2-weighted images via the formed endogenous MR contrast. Conclusions The results suggested that MPDA@SPIO/SA-PEI/AFP-Fth had a superior ability to enhance the MR contrast of T2-weighted images of tumor region than the other preparations, which was due to its HCC-targeted ability and the combined T2 contrast effect of endogenous ferritin and exogenous SPIO. Our study proved that MPDA@SPIO/SA-PEI/AFP-Fth nanocomplexes could be used as an effective MR contrast agent to detect HCC in the early stage.

s Multi-functional nanovectors based on exosomes from cancer cell culture supernatants in vitro has been successfully utilized for tumor-specific targeting and immune escape. However, the labor-intensive purification procedures for rich-dose and high-purity homogeneous exosomes without using targeting ligands are still a challenging task. Herein, we developed a nanovector Exo-PMA/ [email protected] through cloaked by urinary exosome membrane as a chemo/chemodynamic theranostic nano-platform for targeted homologous prostate cancer therapy which pertain to the abrogation of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and its downstream AKT/NF-kB/IkB signaling instead of ERK signaling cascades. Urinary exosomes-based nanovectors own the same urological cancer cell membrane antigen inclusive of E-cadherin, CD 47 and are free from intracellular substance such as Histone 3 and COX Ⅳ. The targeting properties of the homologous cancer cell are well preserved in Exo-PMA/ [email protected] nanovectors in high purity. Meanwhile, the nanovectors based on urinary exosomes from prostate patients deeply penetrated into prostate cancer DU145 3D MCTS , and successfully achieve superior synergistic low-dose chemo/chemodynamic performance in vivo . In addition, the blockage of bypassing EGFR/AKT/NF-kB/IkB signaling pathway is greatly enhanced via elevated intracellular PMA/ [email protected] nanoparticles (NPs). It is expected that the rich source and high purity of urinary exosomes offer a reliable solution for mass production of such nanovectors in the future. The targeted homologous cancer therapy based on the urinary exosomes from cancer patients exemplifies a novel targeted anticancer scheme with efficient and facile method.
