Currently, biphasic solvents are receiving more attention for CO 2 capture due to their energy-saving potential. Whereas, most of the current biphasic solvents still suffer from high viscosity and low regeneration efficiency. To solve this problem, a novel tri-solvent biphasic solvent triethylenetetramine (TETA)-2–amino–2–methyl–1–propanol (AMP)-1-dimethylamino-2-propanol (1DMA2P) was proposed in this study, and its absorption properties, viscosity changes, desorption properties, recyclability capacity, and reaction mechanism were explored. The results showed that the CO 2 absorption load showed a trend of firstly increasing and then decreasing with the increase of AMP concentration. Although the volume of the rich phase increased with increasing AMP concentration after the absorption, it also decreases the viscosity growth. The viscosity of the solution decreased from 498 mPa•s to 91 mPa•s. During the desorption process, the maximal desorption rates of AMP-containing solvents is significantly greater than that of 2 mol/L (M) TETA + 2 M 1DMA2P (2T2D). Simultaneously, the recyclability capacity of the AMP-containing solvents were also significantly higher than that of 2T2D. The regeneration efficiency of 1.5 M TETA + 0.5 M AMP + 2 M 1DMA2P (1.5T0.5A2D) was 81.92%. It was concluded by 13 C NMR analysis that amino groups in TETA and AMP can react with CO 2 to form carbamates and carbonates. Since AMP in the biphasic solution can generate free protons through various pathways during the desorption process, it promotes the decomposition of TETA-carbamate. This process achieves the deep stripping of CO 2 in biphasic solvent. Overall, TETA-AMP-1DMA2P solution is a promising energy-saving candidate for industrial CO 2 capture due to its competitive absorption–desorption performance and low viscosity.

A novel composite adsorbent, AMP@MIL-101(Cr), has been successfully synthesized by integrating ammonium phosphomolybdate (AMP) with the metal–organic framework MIL-101(Cr) for the efficient adsorption of rubidium ions (Rb+) from aqueous solutions. The results of structural characterizations confirmed that the crystalline framework of the adsorbent remained intact after Rb+ adsorption, indicating excellent structural stability. Adsorption kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics studies revealed that the adsorption process followed a single-layer chemisorption mechanism and was an endothermic reaction and spontaneous adsorption process with negligible influence from solution pH. The adsorbent exhibited a remarkable Rb+ adsorption capacity, reaching 69.4 mg·g–1 within 5 min in a solution containing 250 mg·L–1 Rb+ at 45 °C. In the Nanyi Mountain Oilfield, the adsorption rate of adsorbent for Rb+ (10.69%) exceeded that of other ions (Li+: 0.75%; Na+: 0; K+: 0.95%; Mg2+: 0.67%). Furthermore, the adsorbent still maintained 86.72% of its initial adsorption capacity after 5 consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles. These findings highlighted the great potential of AMP@MIL-101(Cr) as an efficient and stable adsorbent for the selective recovery of rubidium from aqueous environments.

BackgroundSudden cardiac arrest (CA) often results in severe injury to the brain, and neuroprotection after CA has proved to be difficult to achieve. Herein, we sought to investigate the effects of metformin pretreatment on brain injury secondary to CA and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Methods and ResultsRats were subjected to 9‐minute asphyxial CA after receiving daily metformin treatment for 2 weeks. Survival rate, neurologic deficit scores, neuronal loss, AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK), and autophagy activation were assessed at indicated time points within the first 7 days after return of spontaneous circulation. Our results showed that metformin pretreatment elevated the 7‐day survival rate from 55% to 85% and significantly reduced neurologic deficit scores. Moreover, metformin ameliorated CA‐induced neuronal degeneration and glial activation in the hippocampal CA1 region, which was accompanied by augmented AMPK phosphorylation and autophagy activation in affected neuronal tissue. Inhibition of AMPK or autophagy with pharmacological inhibitors abolished metformin‐afforded neuroprotection, and augmented autophagy induction by metformin treatment appeared downstream of AMPK activation.ConclusionsTaken together, our data demonstrate, for the first time, that metformin confers neuroprotection against ischemic brain injury after CA/cardiopulmonary resuscitation by augmenting AMPK‐dependent autophagy activation.

Background Cigarette smoking is a well-known risk factor in multiple chronic pulmonary diseases. This study aims to investigate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ in cigarette smoking-induced inflammation. Material/Methods Cigarette smoking extract (CSE) was employed to induce inflammation in bronchial epithelial cells (BECs). After CSE administration, several autophagy-related proteins (Beclin1, autophagy-related gene (ATG)5, ATG7, p62, and LC3) and PPARγ levels were examined by western blot. Subsequently, PPARγ agonists and antagonist were used to treat CSE-induced BECs, several inflammatory factors (interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2) and autophagy-related proteins were detected to measure the inflammatory and autophagy levels. Then LC3 knockdown was performed to verify the role of autophagy in CSE-induced inflammation. Finally, the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and its downstream S6 kinase (S6K) were detected in CSE-stimulated BECs. Results CSE administration caused insufficient autophagy and the decrease of PPARγ in BECs. The PPARγ agonists ameliorate the CSE-induced inflammation and promote the autophagy development, evidenced by the changes of inflammatory factors and autophagy-related proteins. Loss-of-function experiments demonstrated that the PPARg played an anti-inflammatory role in an autophagy-dependent manner. In addition, CSE administration inactivated the AMPK signaling, which was restored by PPARγ agonists. The effects of PPARγ agonists on inflammation and autophagy could be abolished by AMPK inhibitor. Conclusions We demonstrated that PPARγ played a protective role in CSE-induced inflammation and autophagy by activating AMPK signaling in BECs, which may provide investigation basis for clinical therapy of chronic pulmonary diseases.

Purpose Glucocorticoids are used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, but glucocorticoid treatment is associated with bone damage. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin found in many plants, and we investigated its protective role on dexamethasone-induced dysfunction in MC3T3-E1 cells and primary osteoblasts.Materials and Methods MC3T3-E1 cells and primary osteoblasts were treated with dexamethasone in the presence/absence of different doses of resveratrol for 24 or 48 h. Then, 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays were used to evaluate cell viability. Apoptosis was analyzed by a flow cytometry. An alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay and Alizarin Red S staining were used to study osteoblast differentiation. Expression of osteoblast-related genes was measured by real-time reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway and mitochondrial expression of superoxide dismutase were evaluated by Western blotting. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, mitochondrial-complex activity, and mitochondrial DNA content were measured to evaluate mitochondrial function.Results Resveratrol induced the proliferation and inhibited apoptosis of osteoblasts in the presence of dexamethasone. Resveratrol increased the ALP activity and mineralization of osteoblasts. Resveratrol also attenuated dexamethasone-induced inhibition of mRNA expression of osteogenesis maker genes, including bone morphogenetic protein-2, osteoprotegerin, runt-related transcription factor-2, and bone Gla protein. Resveratrol alleviated dexamethasone-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Resveratrol strongly stimulated expression of peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α and sirtuin-3 genes, as well as their downstream target gene superoxide dismutase-2. Resveratrol induced phosphorylation of AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). Blockade of AMPK signaling using compound C reversed the protective effects of resveratrol against dexamethasone.Conclusion Resveratrol showed protective effects against dexamethasone-induced dysfunction of osteoblasts by activating AMPK signaling.

To investigate the molecular mechanism of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) on promoting fatty acid β-oxidation and browning in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. SCFAs significantly reduced lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In addition, via increasing the expression of Tfam and Nrf1, SCFAs enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis. According to the results of qPCR analysis, the expression levels of fatty acid β-oxidation genes ( PPARα , CPT1α , ACOX1 ) were up-regulated by SCFAs. Moreover, SCFAs treatment increased the genes and proteins expression of brown adipocyte-specific factors such as PRDM16, PGC-1α, and UCP-1, as well as up-regulated the genes expression of beige adipocytes markers ( Tmem26 , Tbx1 , CD137, and Cited1) . Furthermore, the effects of β3-AR and AMPK antagonist were reversed by SCFAs. In conclusion, SCFAs promote fat β-oxidation and browning of adipocytes through β3-AR/AMPKα signaling pathway, thereby reducing fat accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Therefore, SCFAs may be a helpful supplement to combat obesity.

The development of sapphire slurry follows the principles of compositional simplification, environmental sustainability, and high efficiency with low cost. This study systematically investigated the effects of polyhydroxyamine pH regulators, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (AMPD), and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS), on the polishing performance of C-, R-, and M-plane sapphire substrates. The results demonstrated that TRIS exhibited the highest efficacy, achieving material removal rates (MRRs) of 5.512 µm/h, 3.422 µm/h, and 4.541 µm/h for C-, R-, and M-plane sapphire, respectively, while reducing surface roughness (Sq) to 0.191 nm, 0.178 nm, and 0.184 nm. Tribological analysis, SEM characterization, zeta potential measurements, particle size distribution tests, and spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, XPS, and FTIR) were employed to elucidate the mechanical and chemical mechanisms governing material removal. All three pH regulators can also function as complexing agents, forming complexes with Al OH 4 − , with TRIS demonstrating the strongest chelation capability. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further verified these findings, revealing that TRIS possesses the highest number of reactive sites. The consistency between computational and experimental results established a quantitative structure-performance relationship. This work provides a green and efficient paradigm for the precision machining of hard, brittle materials.

A CO 2 sorbent was prepared by immobilizing a mixture of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and 2-amino-2-methyl- l -propanol (AMP) onto MCM-41. The prepared composites were characterized by N 2 adsorption–desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. CO 2 adsorption–desorption experiments were conducted in a self-assembled fixed bed reactor under the simulated flue gas component of 15 vol.% CO 2 /85 vol.% N 2 . The promoting effects of AMP on the adsorption performance and amine efficiency of TEPA modified MCM-41 were studied. In addition, the effects of the adsorption temperature and the feed flow rate on the CO 2 adsorption process were investigated. Further, the regenerability of the sorbent was studied by performing fifteen adsorption–desorption cycles over the temperature range of 70 °C (adsorption) to 100 °C (desorption). Among the prepared sorbents, MCM-41 modified with 30 wt.% TEPA and 30 wt.% AMP (MCM-41-TEPA30%-AMP30%) showed rapid adsorption kinetics and the maximum CO 2 adsorption capacity of 3.01 mmol-CO 2 /g-sorbent at 70 °C. Moreover, the MCM-41-TEPA30%-AMP30% sorbent exhibited good regenerability and thermal stability. The results demonstrate that the MCM-41-TEPA30%-AMP30% sorbent is a promising CO 2 sorbent.

A new method was developed for simultaneous determination of levels of AMP, ADP and ATP in blood by anion-exchange chromatography. The three adenosine phosphates were separated by Dionex IonPac AG18 (50 mm × 4 mm) guard column and IonPac AS18 (250 mm × 4 mm) analytical column using a gradient method and detected with a suppressed conductivity detector. The detection limits (S/N = 3) of AMP, ADP and ATP were 38, 47, 108 ng/L, respectively. The relative standard deviations of retention time, peak area and peak height were all less than 1.87% and a good linear relationship was obtained. This method was applied to analyze human blood samples.

137 Cs is a radioactive pollutant in the production of wastewater from nuclear power plants. In this study, a rapid and simple in-situ synthesis new method was employed to prepare a novel AMP-functionalized UiO-66 composite material for the selective capture of 137 Cs from low-level radioactive wastewater. Characterization techniques such as SEM-EDS, FTIR, XRD, TG, and BET were used to confirm the successful loading of AMP on the surface of UiO-66. UiO-66/AMP showed a good removal effect in pH4-11. At pH7, the effects of different parameters, such as the initial Cs concentration, the ratio of the amount of adsorbent to the volume of solution, and the adsorption time were investigated. The adsorption efficiency is 96.7%, the maximum adsorption capacity is 94.9 mg/g and has fast adsorption kinetics (90% Cs + removal within 5 min). The adsorption data conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, suggesting a monolayer homogeneous adsorption process. XPS helps confirm that the adsorption mechanism is the ion exchange between Cs + and NH 4+ ions. Particularly, in the adsorption experiments of 137 Cs, UiO-66/AMP demonstrated good selectivity (K d Cs : 5.8 × 10 3 ∼ 1.26 × 10 4 mL/g) towards trace Cs + in a mixed ion solution with a molar ratio of 1 (Cs): 2.18 × 10 15 (Na): 4.6 × 10 14 (K): 2 × 10 14 (Mg): 2 × 10 14 (Ca), indicating its potential for selective capture of 137 Cs from low-level liquid waste (LLLW).

Background The biofilms could protect bacteria from antibiotics and promote the production of drug-resistant strains, making the bacteria more difficult to be eradicated. Thus, we developed an AMP@PDA@AgNPs nanocomposite, which is formed by modifying silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with antimicrobial peptides (AMP) modified nanocomposite to destroy biofilm in this study.Methods The AMP@PDA@AgNPs nanocomposite was prepared with polymerization method and characterized by using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The antibacterial effects of the nanocomposite were investigated by using agar diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test. The quantitative analysis of the biofilm formation by the nanocomposite was conducted using crystal violet staining and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM).Results The DLS and TEM analysis showed it was a spherical nanocomposite with 200 nm size and well dispersed . The results of UV-vis and FT-IR confirmed the presence of AMP and AgNPs. The nanocomposite had an excellent biocompatibility at 100 μg/mL. And the AMP@PDA@AgNPs nanocomposite showed superior antimicrobial activity against both Gram-negative (E. coli, P. aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria than AgNPs or AMP. Importantly, the mRNA expression of biofilm-related genes were decreased under the action of the nanocomposites.Conclusion An AMP@PDA@AgNPs nanocomposite with good biocompatibility was successfully prepared. The nanocomposite could destruct bacterial biofilms by inhibiting the expression of biofilm-related genes. The synergistic strategy of AMPs and AgNPs could provide a new perspective for the treatment of bacterial infection.

In this study, electrochemical reaction mechanism of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on a silver mesh was investigated in acetate buffer using spectroelectrochemical technique. The results indicate that AMP (or ATP) can form a complex with silver ion originating from a silver mesh when a positive potential was applied. In these complexes, silver ion coordinates with AMP or ATP via their phosphate group. However, when a negative potential was applied, the formed complex disappeared. The complex reaction is therefore an electrochemically reversible process. Further studies using surface-enhancement Raman spectroscopy (SERS) have shown that AMP (or ATP) has a parallel or perpendicular orientation to the silver mesh surface, which is governed by their different binding sites (adenine ring, ribose, and phosphate groups). Herein, the adenine nucleotide-silver mesh surface complexes have displayed a promising biosensing capacity.
