Fluoride compounds are abundant and widely distributed in the environment at various concentrations, which can seriously injure the human body. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effects of excessive fluoride exposure on the liver, kidney, and heart tissues of healthy female Xenopus laevis by administering NaF (0, 100, and 200 mg/L) in drinking water for 90 days. The expression level of procaspase-8, cleaved-caspase-8, and procaspase-3 proteins were determined by Western blot . Compared with the control group, the group exposed to NaF exhibited expression levels of procaspase-8, cleaved-caspase-8, and procaspase-3 proteins that were considerably upregulated at a concentration of 200 mg/L in the liver and kidney. The cleaved-caspase-8 protein expression in the group exposed to a high concentration of NaF was lower than that in the control group in heart. Histopathological results by hematoxylin and eosin staining showed that excessive NaF exposure caused necrosis of hepatocytes and vacuolization degeneration. Granular degeneration and necrosis in renal tubular epithelial cells were also observed. Moreover, hypertrophy of myocardial cells, atrophy of myocardial fibers and disorder of myocardial fibers were detected. These results demonstrated that NaF-induced apoptosis and the mediated death receptor pathway activation ultimately damaged the liver and kidney tissues. This finding offers a fresh perspective on the effects of F-induced apoptosis in X. laevis.

Tau plays a major role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and several other neurodegenerative diseases. Tau undergoing liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) performs specific physiological functions, induces pathological processes, and contributes to neurodegeneration. Regulating Tau phase separation helps maintain physiological functions of Tau and inhibits pathological aggregation. Here, we show that the 14-3-3 zeta isoform (14-3-3ζ) participates in Tau LLPS. 14-3-3ζ can undergo co-phase separation with WT Tau, participate in and stabilize Tau droplets, and inhibit Tau droplet-driven tubulin assembly. On the other hand, 14-3-3ζ disrupts the LLPS of phosphorylated and glycated Tau, thereby inhibiting the amyloid aggregation initiated by LLPS.

The crucial need for quality refined sugar has led to the development of advanced adsorbents, with a focus on the decolorization of remelt syrup. In this study, (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride and polyethyleneimine co-modified pomelo peel cellulose-derived aerogel (CP-PPA) was fabricated, and synthetic melanoidins were used as model colorants of remelt syrup to evaluate the validity and practicality of CP-PPA for eliminating colored impurities. Integrating abundant amine-functionalized groups (quaternary ammonium and protonated amine) within the pomelo peel-derived aerogel directionally captured electronegative melanoidins via electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, the active sites, types, and relative strength of the weak interactions between CP-PPA and melanoidins were determined using density functional theory simulations. CP-PPA exhibited an excellent equilibration adsorbing capacity for capturing melanoidins of 749.51 mg/g, and a removal efficiency of 93.69 %. Additionally, the adsorption mechanism was thoroughly examined in an effort to improve the economy of the sugar refinement industry.

Poplar wood samples (2×2×2 cm 3 ) were vacuum/pressure impregnated in alcoholic solution with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 3-(methacryloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane (MAPTES) in a mass ratio of 3/1 in the presence of catalytic amounts of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). Because of their good solubility and permeability, the HEMA/MAPTES precursors evenly penetrate the poplar cell wall. The impregnated samples were heated at 75°C for 8 h, followed by a heating period at 103±2°C for 8 h, in the course of which an in situ polymerization occurred in the cell wall. The modified wood was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, the dimensional stability of the modified wood was measured and found to be considerably improved.

Hydrous hydrazine (N2H4·H2O) is considered to be a promising chemical hydrogen storage carrier due to its high hydrogen content (8.0 wt%), production of only N2 in addition to H2, and facile recharging as a stable liquid. In this work, for the first time, CoPt NPs supported on La(OH)3 are used as a highly effective catalyst for selective decomposition of N2H4. Surprisingly, the La(OH)3 nanosheet-supported CoPt NPs exhibit superior catalytic performance, releasing 3 equiv. (H2 + N2) with turnover frequency (TOF) values of up to 734.2 h−1 at 303 K and 2400 h−1 at 323 K; these are higher than those of most reported catalysts for the dehydrogenation of N2H4. Especially, CoPt/La(OH)3 can be easily separated from the reaction solution using a magnet due to its super-paramagnetic nature, and it can maintain its high activity and 100% selectivity even after five cycles. The high performance of CoPt/La(OH)3 can be attributed to the electronic interaction between Co and Pt, strong basic sites on the surface of La(OH)3 and a synergistic cooperative effect between the ultrafine CoPt NPs and the La(OH)3 support. The development of a high performance Co-based catalyst may promote the effective application of hydrous hydrazine as a promising hydrogen storage material.

We report the electrochemical fabrication of a poly(2,2-bithiophene-co-3-methylthiophene)-graphene composite coating and its application in the headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography determination of benzenes (i.e., bromobenzene, 4-bromotoluene, 2-nitrotoluene, 3-nitrotoluene and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene). The coating was uniform and showed cauliflower-like microstructure. It had high thermal stability (up to 375°C) and could be used for at least 180 times of solid-phase microextraction without a decrease in extraction performance. Furthermore, it presented high extraction capacity for the benzenes due to the hydrophobic effect and π–π interaction between the analytes and the coating. Under optimized extraction conditions, good linearity (correlation coefficients higher than 0.9946), wide linear range (0.01–50 μg/L), and low limits of detection (5.25–12.5 ng/L) were achieved for these analytes. The relative standard deviation was lower than 5.7% for five successive measurements with one fiber, and the relative standard deviation for fiber-to-fiber was 4.9–6.8% ( n = 5). The solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography method was successfully applied for the determination of three real samples, and the recoveries for standards added were 89.6–106% for nail polish, 85.8–110% for hair dye, and 90–106.2% for correction fluid, respectively.

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation has drawn increasing attention in eliminating the recalcitrant organic pollutants in water. Manipulation of generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) over Ce doped Mn 2 O 3 during the PMS activation was firstly reported for the complete degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in this study. Ce in-situ introduction can greatly enhance the PMS activation performance of Mn 2 O 3 . For example, 100% of 2,4-DCP degradation can be obtained at 90 min over 4 wt% Ce doped Mn 2 O 3 at pH 7 (82.1% for Mn 2 O 3 at 90 min). The reaction rate constant ( k ) was also about 3.6 times higher than that of Mn 2 O 3 (0.0668 min −1 for Ce doped Mn 2 O 3 vs. 0.0186 min −1 for Mn 2 O 3 ). Besides 1 O 2 , OH and SO 4 − were identified and involved in 2,4-DCP degradation process over Ce doped Mn 2 O 3 , while only 1 O 2 was detected over 3D Mn 2 O 3 . Moreover, the contribution of OH and SO 4 − to 2,4-DCP degradation can be regulated by adjusting the Ce doping amount. The key role of Ce substitution in the regulation of reactive oxygen species was further investigated by XPS and electrochemical experiments. The Ce dopant can lead to a higher current density and greater reductive capability due to the improved charge transfer capability, which is important to the generation of more aggressive OH and SO 4 − and complete 2,4-DCP degradation.

Ionic liquids (ILs) based aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) have been successfully applied to the extraction and purification of biomolecules. Although much research has focused on the effect of ILs on the phase formation, there are few reports that describe the phase behavior of quaternary IL-based ABS systems using amino acids (AAs) as additives. Here, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C 4 mim]BF 4 ) formed an ABS with sodium citrate (Na 3 C 6 H 5 O 7 ) with the aid of AAs. The phase behavior and physical properties of the ABS were investigated at 298 K. The capacity of the AA to create the ABS (area of biphasic region) increases with increasing in solubility and decrease with the molecular weight of the ILs and follows the trend glycine > l -alanine ≈ l -lysine > l -threonine > l -proline ≈ l -arginine > none. Moreover, the pH of the top and bottom phases containing l -proline as additive are nearly neutral; l -threonine, glycine, and l -alanine result in mildly acidic environments, while l -arginine and l -lysine provide basic pH conditions. The results show that the effects of the addition of the AAs can be considerable and important in the simulation, design calculation and pH control of ABS for efficient separation and extraction processes.

Increasing interests have been invested in the development of synthetic strategies toward the construction of spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindole], which is the core structural skeleton in some compounds with diverse biological activities. In this work, an efficient diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides generated in situ from 3-amino oxindoles and aldehydes with maleimides has been described. The protocol provides a facile and efficient access to structurally diverse succinimide-fused spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindole] compounds in good to high yields (up to 93%) with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5). The relative stereochemistry of cycloaddition products has been assigned by X-ray diffraction analysis.Keywords:1,3-dipolar cycloaddition;azomethine ylide;one pot synthesis;maleimide;succinimide-fused spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindole]

4-Nitrobenzaldehyde is the synthetic raw material and an important photodegradation product of chloramphenicol . With a structural “alert” of human genotoxic potential and reported mutagenicity, this compound should be controlled in drug substances as a potential genotoxic impurity. However, current analysis methods require complex pre-treatment processes and/or lack sufficient specificity and sensitivity. Nitrophenylhydrazine is a common carbonyl derivatization reagent used to determine the residual aromatic aldehydes in drug samples. In the present study, we report an unexpected advantage of 3-nitrophenylhydrazine hydrochloride as a derivatization reagent in the derivatization high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection method to determine 4-nitrobenzaldehyde in chloramphenicol samples. Compared with other nitro-substituted phenylhydrazines , 3-nitrophenylhydrazine hydrochloride can minimize drug matrix and derivatization reagent interferences, since the maximum absorption wavelength of its derivative is significantly red-shifted to 397 nm. The derivatization conditions have been optimized in terms of reaction efficiency, including reaction temperature, time, and diluting solvent, through a design of experiments. As a result, after reaction with 500 μg mL −1 of 3-nitrophenylhydrazine hydrochloride in acetonitrile-water (70:30, v/v) at 60 °C for 30 min, the developed HPLC method could be used to determine 4-nitrobenzaldehyde with a limit of detection of 0.009 μg mL −1 . The method was then validated and applied for the determination of residual 4-nitrobenzaldehyde in chloramphenicol and its eye-drop samples.

As the first reported examples of borates in the Zn–Sc–B–O system, Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3 and Ba4Zn5Sc2(BO3)8 were synthesized through a high-temperature solution method. The structure of Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3 can be described as ZnO4 tetrahedra connecting ScO6 octahedra to form a [ZnScO9]13− dimer, which further bonds with seven BO3 triangles to form a 2∞[ZnSc(BO3)3] layer, and the Ba atoms distribute in the voids between the layers. In contrast, in Ba4Zn5Sc2(BO3)8, Zn–O chains composed of 4- and 6-coordinated Zn atoms link with Sc2O8 dimers to form a Zn–Sc–O layer, and the BO3 triangles and Ba atoms fill in the voids between the layers. Interestingly, the special [Zn2(BO3)6]14− cluster is found in Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3, which is different from the 2D layers or 3D frameworks of the Zn–B–O configurations in other zincoborates. Moreover, the lowest-coordinated ScO5 polyhedra, as well as the coexistence of two types of ZnOn units (n = 4 and 6), are observed for the first time in Ba4Zn5Sc2(BO3)8. These fascinating results can promote the design of novel borates with BO3 units and enrich the borate structure chemistry.

Docetaxel (DTX) is one kind of well-known anticancer drugs against tumors. GDC0941 was used to inhibit PI3K/Akt signal pathway and improve anti-tumor activity. PLGA-PEG-R7 (poly lactic-co-glycolic acid polyethylene glycol bending with cell penetrating peptide R7)/poly sulfadimethoxine-Folate nanoparticles (R7/PSD-Fol NPs) were made to load DTX and GDC0941 simultaneously. In vitro, the release capacity of DTX and GDC0941 inside nanoparticles was determined and both drugs could release from nanoparticles to 70% within 48h. The result of flow cytometry showed that GDC0941 had no interference on cell uptake and R7/PSD-Fol NPs could enhance MCF-7 cells uptake the most significantly. In cell colony study, GDC0941 could further improve the anti-tumor effect of DTX and inhibit the formation of cell clones on the basis of enhancing the uptake of R7/PSD-Fol NPs. The capability of cell colony formation was as follows: DTX > DTX + GDC0941 > R7 NPs > R7/PSD-Fol NPs. The expression of cell apoptosis proteins treated with R7/PSD-Fol NPs was the lowest. The addition of GDC0941 could decrease the full-length content of apoptotic proteins caspase-3 and caspase-9. In vivo, pharmacokinetic parameters results showed us that GDC0941 had no interference on pharmacokinetic study. Main pharmacokinetic parameters of DTX suspension and R7/PSD-Folate NPs suspension showed significant differences.
