Isobaric vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for binary systems containing o-cresol (OC) + m-cresol (MC), OC + 2, 6-dimethylphenol (DMP), and MC + DMP at 20.0 kPa were measured by using a modified Othmer still. Its reliability was confirmed by measuring the saturated vapour pressure data for the components of MC and DMP. Herington area test was used to confirm the thermodynamic consistency for these binary systems, and the results showed good thermodynamic consistency. The binary VLE experimental data were correlated and predicted by Wilson, NRTL, and UNIFAC models. The results correlated by Wilson and NRTL models agree well with the experimental values. The results predicted by UNIFAC are in accordance with experimental data with rational deviations for systems OC + MC and OC + DMP but show relatively large deviations between the predicted values and experimental data for MC + DMP system. By defining the group =COH in DMP and MC as two different groups, the experimental data were correlated, and new groups with binary interaction parameters were obtained. The results calculated by UNIFAC with new defining groups are in accordance with the experimental data.

The weak fluorescence efficiency of copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) limits their wide applications in biosensing and bioimaging areas, while the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect is anticipated to increase their luminescence intensity. Herein, the weak red emission of Cu NCs is increased considerably by the addition of lanthanide Tb 3+ , ascribed to the AIE effect. Monitoring of spores contamination can be carried out by determining the level of 2, 6-dipicolinic acid (DPA), which is a marker of spores. Due to the stronger synergy between DPA and Tb 3+ for its clamped configuration of adjacent pyridine nitrogen group with the carboxylic acid group, the addition of DPA leads Tb 3+ to be taken away from Cu NCs through a stronger coordination effect, causing Cu NCs to return to the dispersed state and weakened fluorescence. Based on this, an "off–on-off" fluorescent probe for DPA sensing was built, in which Tb 3+ was used as a bridge to achieve AIE enhanced fluorescence effect on Cu NCs as well as a specific recognizer of DPA. The detection range for DPA was 0.1–60 μM and the detection limit was 0.06 μM, which was much lower than the infectious dose of anthrax spores. Since DPA is a unique biomarker for bacterial spores, the method was applied to the detection of actual bacterial spores and satisfactory results were obtained with a detection limit of 4.9*10 3 CFU mL −1 .

Colorectal cancer (CRC) progression could be fueled by the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) triggered by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The proline-rich Akt1 substrate of 40 kDa (PRAS40) is implicated in cancer progression, but its role in the UPR remains unclear. Herein, we demonstrate that PRAS40 promotes the inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α)-X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) axis-dependent UPR in driving CRC progression. Mechanistically, PRAS40 interacts with ER chaperone glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and enhances its N-glycosylation. Moreover, PRAS40 improves the interaction between GRP78 and ST6 β-galactoside α-2, 6-sialyltransferase 1 (ST6Gal1), leading to increased α-2, 6-sialylation of GRP78 and the UPR triggered by ER stress. Furthermore, we identified the natural compound β-sitosterol as a novel ST6Gal1 inhibitor, which attenuated PRAS40-triggered tumor growth. Collectively, these findings unveil a PRAS40-ST6Gal1-GRP78 axis that drives CRC progression through activating the IRE1α-XBP-1-mediated UPR and nominate ST6Gal1 as a promising therapeutic target.

2, 6-diisopropylaniline (2, 6-DIPA) is a crucial non-intentionally organic additive that allows the assessment of the production processes, formulation qualities, and performance variations in biodegradable mulching film. Moreover, its release into the environment may have certain effects on human health. Hence, this study developed simultaneous heating hydrolysis–extraction and amine switchable hydrophilic solvent vortex-assisted homogeneous liquid–liquid microextraction for the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of the 2, 6-DIPA additive and its corresponding isocyanates in poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) biodegradable agricultural mulching films. The heating hydrolysis–extraction conditions and factors influencing the efficiency of homogeneous liquid–liquid microextraction, such as the type and volume of amine, homogeneous-phase and phase separation transition pH, and extraction time were investigated and optimized. The optimum heating hydrolysis–extraction conditions were found to be a H2SO4concentration of 2.5 M, heating temperature of 87.8 °C, and hydrolysis–extraction time of 3.0 h. As a switchable hydrophilic solvent, dipropylamine does not require a dispersant. Vortex assistance is helpful to speed up the extraction. Under the optimum experimental conditions, this method exhibits a better linearity (0.0144~7.200 μg mL−1withR= 0.9986), low limit of detection and quantification (0.0033 μg g−1and 0.0103 μg g−1), high extraction recovery (92.5~105.4%), desirable intra- and inter-day precision (relative standard deviation less than 4.1% and 4.7%), and high enrichment factor (90.9). Finally, this method was successfully applied to detect the content of the additive 2, 6-DIPA in PBAT biodegradable agricultural mulching films, thus facilitating production process monitoring or safety assessments.

Poly(styrene–divinylbenzene)/Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@St–DVB) magnetic porous polymer microspheres based on suspension polymerization were prepared for adsorption of 2, 4-dichlorophenol (2, 4-DCP) and 2, 6-dichlorophenol (2, 6-DCP) from aqueous solution. The as-prepared product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis and elemental analysis. The results showed that the composite material has both porous and magnetic characteristics, which aid in faster separation and increase in adsorption capacity. The adsorption performance of the Fe3O4@(St–DVB) magnetic porous microspheres was manifested by batch mode adsorption experiments with respect to pH, initial concentration, contact time and temperature. The adsorbent was found to be sensitive to changes in pH, and the adsorption capacity of 2, 4-DCP is higher than that of 2, 6-DCP. The kinetics experimental data fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model, as three steps belonged to the pseudo-second-order adsorption process. The adsorption isotherms were also described by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. It was found that the Langmuir isotherm model fitted the equilibrium data superior to the Freundlich model. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated by the Gibbs free energy function, confirming that adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. In addition, the reusability performance of the Fe3O4@(St–DVB) magnetic porous microspheres was demonstrated by four repeated cycles.

A novel phosphorus-containing poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) derived from 2-(6-oxido-6H-dibenz〈c,e〉〈1,2〉oxaphosphorin-6-yl)-1,4-hydroxyethoxy phenylene was synthesized via solid state polymerization, and its chemical structure was confirmed with 1 H NMR. The thermal stability of the resulting copolyester was analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis. With the introduction of phosphorus-containing segments, polyester onset weight-loss temperatures in both nitrogen and air are enhanced. Thermal degradation kinetics were analyzed using the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method, which showed a decreased activation energy for the copolyester compared with that for neat PTT, strongly suggesting that the increased onset weight-loss temperature in nitrogen is a result of enhanced carbonization. Microscale combustion calorimetry was carried out to test the flammability behavior of the copolyester; improved flame-retardant properties were observed with incorporated phosphorus components. Py-GC–MS testing revealed that the pyrolysis of phosphorus-containing copolyester is not significantly affected by the phosphorus incorporation.
