A heterogeneous extracting route of 4-ethylguaiacol is constructed using the intermediate of the reaction between 4-ethylguaiacol and Ca 2+ as the extracting agent. In this work, 4-ethylguaiacol with different concentrations (70, 80, 90, 95%) is prepared using 40 v/v% ethanol aqueous solution as the mother liquor. The extraction parameters optimization, cycle extraction and 4-ethylguaiacol purification are studied, respectively. Extracting parameters investigated are reaction temperature (4–80 ℃), extraction time (5–60 min), and pH value (6.5–13). 4-ethylguaiacol extraction efficiency keeps above 90% at the optimum extracting conditions at the reaction temperature of 4–20 ℃, the extraction time of 30 min, and the pH value of 6.5–10. Further cycle extraction experiments are carried out under the optimal extraction parameters using the intermediate as the extracting agent. After 36 cycle extraction times, the extraction efficiency of 4-ethylguaiacol can still reach 91.7%. Guaiacol has similar physical and chemical properties to 4-ethylguaiacol, thus it is used as an impurity to test the extraction and purification effect of the heterogeneous extracting method. With increasing the cycle extraction times from 1 to 4, 4-ethylguaiacol purity reaches more than 99% for all four mother liquors with different initial concentrations. 4-ethylguaiacol purity of 99.57% is achieved through twice cycle extraction when its initial content in the mother liquor is 95%.

Host immune response has gradually been accepted as a critical factor in achieving successful implant osseointegration. The aim of this study is to create a favorable immune microenvironment by the dominant release of IL-4 during the initial few days after implant insertion to mitigate early inflammatory reactions and facilitate osseointegration. Herein, the B-TNT/PDA/IL-4 substrate was established by immobilizing an interleukin-4 (IL-4)/polydopamine (PDA) coating on a black TiO2nanotube (B-TNT) surface, achieving on-demand IL-4 release under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses based on high-throughput DNA microarray data revealed that IL-4 addition inhibited osteoclast differentiation and function. Animal experiment results suggested that the B-TNT/PDA/IL-4+Laser substrate induced the least inflammatory, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, inducible nitric oxide synthase and the most CD163 positive cells, compared to the Ti group at 7 days post-implantation. In addition, 28 days post-implantation, micro-computed tomography results showed the highest bone volume/total volume, trabecular thickness, trabecular number and the lowest trabecular separation, while Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson-trichrome staining revealed the largest amount of new bone formation for the B-TNT/PDA/IL-4+Laser group. This study revealed the osteoimmunoregulatory function of the novel B-TNT/PDA/IL-4 surface by photothermal release of IL-4 at an early period post-implantation, thus paving a new way for dental implant surface modification.Keywords:photothermal;controlled release;IL-4;PDA;TiO2nanotubes;osseointegration;near-infrared laser;titanium

Glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) is comprehensively investigated in mammals, while the comparative research of GLUT4 in common carp is deficient. To investigate the function of GLUT4, carp glut4 was first isolated. The open reading frame of carp glut4 was 1518 bp in length, encoding 505 amino acids. A high-sequence homology was identified in carp and teleost, and the phylogenetic tree displayed that the carp GLUT4 was clustered with the teleost. A high level of glut4 mRNA was analysed in fat, red muscle and white muscle. After fasting treatment, glut4 mRNA expression was increased significantly in muscle. In the oral glucose tolerance test experiment, glut4 mRNA was also significantly elevated in muscle, gut and fat. Furthermore, intraperitoneal injection of insulin resulted in the upregulation of glut4 gene expression significantly in white muscle, gut and fat. On the contrary, the glut4 mRNA level in the white muscle, gut and fat was markedly downregulated after glucagon injection. These results suggest that GLUT4 might play important roles in food intake and could be regulated by nutrient condition, insulin and glucagon in common carp. Our study is the first to report on GLUT4 in common carp. These data provide a basis for further study on fish GLUT4.

TiO 2 with different morphology as supports can lead to different surface properties and catalytic activities of catalysts. Herein, we reported a novel facile evaporation-induced assisted hydrothermal approach to synthesize three-dimensional hierarchical structure TiO 2 assembled from needle flakes by using Brij-35 as the morphology-directing agent. The morphology of the prepared TiO 2 from flower-like (TiO 2 -FT), sea urchin-like (TiO 2 -SUT), to ball-like (TiO 2 -BT), as well as the size of needle flakes, were controlled by adjusting the amount of Brij-35. These TiO 2 supported palladium catalysts were facilely prepared using a green bio-reductive method with Catalpa Fruit extract as reducing agent, where they showed remarkable catalytic activity in selective hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol by sodium borohydride. Especially, 1 wt%Pd/TiO 2 -SUT with sea urchin-like exhibited higher reaction rate constant (1.44 min −1 ) than 1 wt%Pd/TiO 2 -FT (1.08 min −1 ) and 1 wt%Pd/TiO 2 -BT (0.72 min −1 ). Furthermore, XRD, N 2 adsorption–desorption, SEM, TEM, CO-FTIR, XPS and CO chemisorption measurements were performed to study the effects of different surface morphologies on the surface properties of catalysts. It reveals that the high catalytic performance of 1 wt%Pd/TiO 2 -SUT can be attributed to its specific hierarchical structure and much higher surface area, improving the uniform dispersion of Pd nanoparticles on the support to expose extra active surface Pd atoms (Pd 0 species) over 1 wt%Pd/TiO 2 -SUT.

The bacterial hydrolytic dehalogenation of 4-chlorobenzoate (4CBA) is a coenzyme A (CoA)-activation-type catabolic pathway that is usually a common part of the microbial mineralization of chlorinated aromatic compounds. Previous studies have shown that the transport and dehalogenation genes for 4CBA are typically clustered as an fcbBAT1T2T3C operon and inducibly expressed in response to 4CBA. However, the associated molecular mechanism remains unknown. In this study, a gene (fcbR) adjacent to the fcb operon was predicted to encode a TetR-type transcriptional regulator in Comamonas sediminis strain CD-2. The fcbR knockout strain exhibited constitutive expression of the fcb cluster. In the host Escherichia coli, the expression of the Pfcb-fused green fluorescent protein (gfp) reporter was repressed by the introduction of the fcbR gene, and genetic studies combining various catabolic genes suggest that the ligand for FcbR may be an intermediate metabolite. Purified FcbR could bind to the Pfcb DNA probe in vitro, and the metabolite 4-chlorobenzyl-CoA (4CBA-CoA) prevented FcbR binding to the Pfcb DNA probe. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) measurements showed that 4CBA-CoA could bind to FcbR at a 1:1 molar ratio. DNase I footprinting showed that FcbR protected a 42-bp DNA motif (5′-GGAAATCAATAGGTCCATAGAAAATCTATTGACTAATCGAAT-3′) that consists of two sequence repeats containing four pseudopalindromic sequences (5′-TCNATNGA-3′). This binding motif overlaps with the −35 box of Pfcb and was proposed to prevent the binding of RNA polymerase. This study characterizes a transcriptional repressor of the fcb operon, together with its ligand, thus identifying halogenated benzoyl-CoA as belonging to the class of ligands of transcriptional regulators.IMPORTANCE The bacterial hydrolytic dehalogenation of 4CBA is a special CoA-activation-type catabolic pathway that plays an important role in the biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls and some herbicides. With genetic and biochemical approaches, the present study identified the transcriptional repressor and its cognate effector of a 4CBA hydrolytic dehalogenation operon. This work extends halogenated benzoyl-CoA as a new member of CoA-derived effector compounds that mediate allosteric regulation of transcriptional regulators.

A series of polyarylates composed of different bisphenol monomers were synthesized by interfacial polymerization using 9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene (BHPF), 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)butane (BPB), terephthaloyl chloride (TPC), and isophthaloyl chloride (IPC) as raw materials. The DFT calculations showed that the energy required for the reaction of BHPF with TPC/IPC was between 15.82 and 16.04 Kcal/mol, which was higher than the energy required for the reaction of BPB with TPC/IPC of 8.05–8.40 Kcal/mol. The solubility test showed that the solubility of BHPF-BPB-type polyarylate was better than that of BPB-type polyarylate in various organic solvents with T g ranging from 199.3 to 215.0°C, indicating that the solubility was improved while increasing the T g of the products. The weight loss ( T 5% ) and maximum weight loss ( T max ) of BHPF-BPB-type polyarylates under N 2 atmosphere ranged from 464.6–489.4°C and 521.7–534.6°C, indicating good thermal stability. The tensile strength of the BHPF-BPB-type polyarylates ranged from 53.21 to 61.23 MPa, Young's modulus ranged from 1479.66 to 1867.23 MPa and elongation at break ranged from 19.5% to 30.1%. The mechanical property test showed that the BHPF-BPB-type polyarylates have high tensile strength. These characteristics indicate that BHPF-BPB-type polyarylates have a very broad potential for application in engineering plastics.

In this study, a novel material, Z-2, 3-bis(4-(thiophen-3-yl)-phenyl) –acrylonitrile (Z-TPA), was synthesized and characterized. Optical and electrochromic properties of its homopolymer and copolymer with 3, 4-Ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) were investigated in details. UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectra showed that this material possessed the properties of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) due to the introduction of acrylonitrile, which could show sky-blue emitting at the aggregation state and almost no emitting at the solution state. Both its polymer and copolymer displayed better redox activity. Spectroelectrochemical analysis displayed that the copolymer film exhibited multicolor showing, with a claret red in the fully reduced form and a blue-green color in the fully oxidized. Spectrochronoamperometry data revealed that the copolymer films had fast switching time and high chromatic contrast as compared to the homopolymer P(Z-TPA). What's more, the copolymer film was used to construct a dual type polymer electrochromic device (ECDs) with PEDOT. The performance of ECDs were also investigated.

The water activities and osmotic coefficients in the ternary system NaB(OH)4–Na2B4O5(OH)4–H2O at 323.15 K were investigated with the isopiestic method. The solubilities and physicochemical properties in the NaBO2–Na2B4O7–H2O system at 323.15 K were studied with the isothermal dissolution equilibrium method. The phase diagram in the system consists of two single salt regions for NaBO2·4H2O and Na2B4O7·10H2O, one invariant point saturated with the above salts, and two univariant solubility curves. On the basis of the Pitzer model, the Pitzer binary parameters of Na2B4O5(OH)4 and mixing parameters were fitted with the osmotic coefficients and solubilities. The dissolution equilibrium constant of Na2B4O7·10H2O was calculated with the experimental solubility data and parameters. The calculated solubilities and water activities with the parameters and dissolution equilibrium constants of NaBO2·4H2O and Na2B4O7·10H2O agree with the experimental data.

The development of efficient systems for the catalytic oxidation of 2-nitro-4-methylsulfonyltoluene (NMST) to 2-nitro-4-methylsulfonyl benzoic acid (NMSBA) with atmospheric air or molecular oxygen in alkaline medium presents a significant challenge for the chemical industry. Here, we report the synthesis of FeOOH/Fe 3 O 4 /MOF polygonal mesopores microflower templated from a MIL-88B(Fe) at room temperature, which exposes polygonal mesopores with atomistic edge steps and lattice defects. The obtained FeOOH/Fe 3 O 4 /MOF catalyst was adsorbed onto glass beads and then introduced into the microchannel reactor. In the alkaline environment, oxygen was used as oxidant to catalyze the oxidation of NMST to NMSBA, showing impressive performance. This sustainable system utilizes oxygen as a clean oxidant in an inexpensive and environmentally friendly NaOH/methanol mixture. The position and type of substituent critically affect the products. Additionally, this sustainable protocol enabled gram-scale preparation of carboxylic acid and benzyl alcohol derivatives with high chemoselectivities. Finally, the reactions can be conducted in a pressure reactor, which can conserve oxygen and prevent solvent loss. Moreover, compared with the traditional batch reactor, the self-built microchannel reactor can accelerate the reaction rate, shorten the reaction time and enhance the selectivity of catalytic oxidation reactions. This approach contributes to environmental protection and holds potential for industrial applications.

In this study, a simple method for directly synthesizing Ag nanoparticles on the inner wall of a microreactor was proposed to catalytically convert 4-NP to 4-AP. The proposed method employed silver ammonia as the precursor and polydopamine (PDA) to modify the surface of the microreactor. Because PDA contains numerous reducing agents of phenolic hydroxyl groups, the silver ions can be effectively reduced to Ag nanoparticles. Moreover, due to the zwitterionic nature of PDA, the use of silver ammonia as a precursor, which intrinsically has a high pH value, can allow for more silver ions to be adsorbed on the surface than the conventionally used AgNO3 as a precursor. Accordingly, the precursor utilization could be greatly improved, leading to the increase of the catalyst loading and thereby boosting the catalytic conversion and durability. It was also found that an increase in the reduction time required for the catalyst preparation could lead to the increase of the catalyst loading and thereby the catalytic performance but a too long reduction time did not continue to make more contribution. Experimental results demonstrate that the microreactor prepared by this simple method is able to exhibit good catalytic activity and durability, providing a new approach for developing high-performance microreactors.

Flavonoids are a class of compounds that exist in nature with the structure of 2-phenyl-chromone. In Chinese traditional medicine , herbal drugs containing flavonoids are widely used for the treatment of inflammation, cardiovascular disease, tumor and so on. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect and related mechanisms of a novel synthetic flavonoid, (E)-1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (ETH) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated macrophages. Our results showed that ETH inhibited LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-6 release in a dose-dependent manner, and decreased TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and iNOS mRNA production. LPS-induced expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was also significantly attenuated by ETH. Pretreatment with ETH reduced the I-κBα phosphorylation, p65 nuclear translocation as well as NF-κB-dependent transcriptional activity. In addition, ETH exhibited a significant protection against LPS-induced inflammatory mortality in mice. Taken together, these findings suggest that ETH can inhibit LPS-induced inflammation via suppressing NF-κB signaling pathway , indicating that ETH may be a potential anti-inflammatory agent.

Phosphite materials have aroused wide attention due to their diverse open frameworks and promising magnetic and optical performances. Here, the first barium scandium phosphite, BaSc2(HPO3)4(H2O)2, was obtained via a facile hydrothermal route. BaSc2(HPO3)4(H2O)2 crystallizes in the polar space group Pn and exhibits a 3D {[Sc2(HPO3)4]2−}∞ anion framework constructed by distorted ScO6 octahedra and HPO32− anion groups. BaSc2(HPO3)4(H2O)2 can exhibit a phase-matchable SHG response of about 0.94 × KH2PO4 at 1064 nm, and a moderate birefringence (0.036@1064 nm) to satisfy the phase-matchable behavior requirement. Deep investigation of its structure–property relationship based on theoretical calculations has also been presented in this work.
