A modular approach was applied for the synthesis of bienzyme-polymer nanoconjugates (nano-BECs) (50–70 nm) consisting of two enzymes (carbonyl reductase and glucose dehydrogenase) conjugated within a single universal polymer scaffold. The amount of the product ethyl (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyrate (R-HPBE) with nano-BECs as the catalyst was 533 mM in a dibutyl phthalate-phosphate buffer (dibutyl phthalate-PB) biphasic system, while the amount of R-HPBE was 349 mM using carbonyl reductase-poly(acrylic acid) as the catalyst, indicating that the nano-BECs have an advantage for coenzyme regeneration. Compared with a single aqueous phase, the substrate treatment capacity was improved at the interface of the dibutyl phthalate-PB biphasic system. Under the optimal reaction conditions (35 °C, 40 h, dibutyl phthalate-PB 1: 1), nano-BECs can completely convert substrate into optically pure R-HPBE (enantiomeric excess (e.e.) >99.9%) in the organic-aqueous system.

Purpose With the aim of enhanced degradation of azo dye alizarin yellow R (AY) and further removal of the low-strength recalcitrant matter (LsRM) of the secondary effluent as much as possible, our research focused on the combination of aerobic bio-contact oxidation (ABO) with iron/carbon microelectrolysis (ICME) process. Materials and methods The combined ABO (with effective volume of 2.4 l) and ICME (with effectively volume of 0.4 l) process were studied with relatively short hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 4 or 6 h. Results At the HRT of 6 h with the reflux ratio of 1 and 2, the AY degradation efficiency in the final effluent was >96.5%, and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency were 69.86% and 79.44%, respectively. At the HRT of 4 h and the reflux ratio of 2, TOC removal efficiency and AY degradation efficiency were 73.94% and 94.89%, respectively. The ICME process obviously enhanced the total AY removal and the generated micromolecule acids and aldehydes then that wastewater backflow to the ABO where they were further biodegraded. Conclusion The present research might provide the potential options for the advanced treatment azo dyes wastewater with short HRT and acceptable running costs.

The industrial advancement of downstream products resulting from the directed hydrogenation of maleic anhydride is hindered by the limitations related to the activity and stability of catalysts. The development of nonprecious metal intermetallic compounds, in which active sites are adjustable in the local structures and electronic properties embedded within a distinct framework, holds immense potential in enhancing catalytic efficacy and stability. Herein, we report that nickel-based silicides catalysts, RNi2Si2 (R = Ca, La, and Y), afford high efficiency in the selective hydrogenation of maleic anhydride. Among the RNi2Si2 with the same tetragonal structure, CaNi2Si2 with complete isolation and highest electron density of Ni sites presents the low apparent activation energy (98.4 kJ/mol). Preferential adsorption of intermediate succinic anhydride via C═O bonds is achieved by the high oxygen affinity of CaNi2Si2, resulting in chemoselectivity to γ-butyrolactone (>80%). Additionally, the silicide with good resistance to sintering and acid corrosion presents remarkable stability for at least 130 h. The design of the silicide structure will offer fresh perspectives on the development of effective and enduring selective hydrogenation catalysts.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Epimedium Tourn. ex L. is a traditional Chinese medicine used for thousands of years in China to treat forgetfulness. Icariin is a principal component of the genus Epimedium . Aim of the study The metabolic mechanism of icariin treating forgetfulness is explored. Materials and methods A D-galactose-induced senescent mouse model was employed. The cognitive performance of mice was assessed in the fear conditioning test. Hippocampal pathology was assessed in the immunohistochemistry assay. Plasma metabolome was analyzed using GC-MS method, and the differential metabolites were further identified by UPLC-MS/MS or GC-MS method. The liver function, including ALT and AST, was assessed by enzyme reaction. Icariin was administered intraperitoneally at 50 and 100 mg/kg. Mice were administered five consecutive days per week for 8 weeks. Results Icariin treatment improved hippocampus-related fear memory but not amygdala-related memory, whereas Pexidartinib (PLX3397), a microglial scavenger, did not. Icariin treatment maintained the TMEM119-positive microglial population and decreased the accumulation of the senescent biomarker p16 in the dorsal hippocampus in senescent mouse brains, whereas PLX3397 did not. Notably, p16 in the CA2 subregion significantly decreased in icariin-treated mice than the other hippocampal subregions. The senescent mice exhibited the circulating metabolic characteristics of mild ketoacidosis, active tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, lactic acidosis, hyperglycemia, active detoxification, active cis-oleic acid metabolism, and inhibitory GABA shut. R-3-hydroxybutyric acid primarily produced in the liver was selectively and robustly decreased by icariin treatment, which was not observed with PLX3397. The TCA cycle was rescued in senescent mice by icariin treatment. Icariin also protected liver function (plasma ALT) in D-gal-induced senescent mice. Conclusions Icariin may protect mouse hippocampal cognition from D-gal-induced senescence by protecting microglial homeostasis, and facilitating the utilization of R-3-hydroxybutyric acid is one of the underpins.

Camellia sinensis var. assamica is a major variety used to produce black tea. However, the core compounds influencing its aroma quality are unknown. In this study, Yinghong No. 9 black tea (YJBT), a distinctive black tea in South China, was analyzed. We detected 44 aroma compounds and identified seven key contributors, namely linalool, geraniol, trans -linalool oxide (furanoid), hexanal, methyl jasmonate, phenylacetaldehyde, and β-ionone. Linalool, which was generally more abundant in spring tea than in summer tea, contributed significantly to sweet and floral aromas. ( R )-Linalool was the primary linalool form in Yinghong No. 9, wherein it was highly abundant in high-quality tea leaves. The substantial expression of a linalool synthase gene and the relatively high catalytic efficiency of the encoded enzyme likely contributed to the accumulation of ( R )-linalool. This study identified the primary aroma compounds in YJBT, providing a foundation for advancing our knowledge of the aromatic quality of black tea.

In order to solve the problem of glucose detection in medical development and meet the urgent demand for new energy storage devices, this paper proposes a new material suitable for glucose sensing and capacitive properties. The sensor was fabricated by depositing Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles onto nickel foam with integrated r-GO via the hydrothermal method, followed by the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles using electroplating. The detection range of the sensor is 0.3–11.3 mM. The sensor's sensitivity is 1000.3 μA mM −1 cm −2 , indicating its responsiveness to changes in analyte concentration. In electrochemical test systems, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) usually represents the relative intensity of the effective current signal and the background noise, reflecting the accuracy and reliability of the measurement. When the SNR is three, the minimum detection limit is 0.431 μM, highlighting its ability to reliably detect analytes at low concentrations amidst background noise. According to electrochemical workstation tests, the sensor demonstrates robust stability. Furthermore, the electrode material proves suitable for asymmetric supercapacitor devices, when the current density is 2 Ag −1 , the specific capacitance is 660.5 Fg −1 . At the same time, we also explore the cyclic stability of the device, which can retain 92.3 % of its initial specific capacitance after 5000 cycles, showing its remarkable long-term stability. In addition, the prepared nanocomposites can also light the red LED light. The results show that the synthesized CuO/Co 3 O 4 /r-GO/NF electrode can be used for electrochemical glucose sensing and supercapacitors, and plays an important role as a multi-functional material in the fields of medical, food, electronics, transportation and energy, providing key technical support for a variety of applications.

To optimize the simultaneous removal of NO x and Hg 0 , a series of Cu a Ce b Zr c O 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts prepared by the impregnation method were explored and their physical and chemical properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), NH 3 -temperature-programmed desorption (NH 3 -TPD), H 2 -temperature-programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR), in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (in situ DRIFT), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results showed that 15% Cu 1.4 Ce 0.55 Zr 0.25 O 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 resulted in the highest conversion efficiency for the simultaneous removal of NO x (93%) and Hg 0 (85%) at low temperatures (200 to 300 °C). Meanwhile, 15% Cu 1.4 Ce 0.55 Zr 0.25 O 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 showed good stability and resistance to SO 2 and H 2 O, which is due to its low crystallinity, good textural performance, and strong redox ability. According to the TPD, TPR, and XPS results, the strong acidic character of 15% Cu 1.4 Ce 0.55 Zr 0.25 O 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 promoted the removal of NO x and Hg 0 . The synergistic effect between CuO and CeO 2 in 15% Cu 1.4 Ce 0.55 Zr 0.25 O 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 can increase the mobility of chemically adsorbed oxygen and activates lattice oxygen, leading to an excellent performance. The DRIFT results showed that NH 3 , NH 4 + , nitrate, and nitrite participated in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction. On the basis of our experimental results, Hg 0 and NO x removal mechanisms were proposed as Hg (ad) + O* → HgO (ad) and 2NH 3 /NH 4 + (ad) + NO 2 /NO 3 − (ad) + NO→2N 2 + 3H 2 O/2H + , respectively.

Phosphor-converted white-light-emitting diodes (pc-WLEDs) rely on combining a near-ultraviolet (n-UV) or blue chip with trichromatic and yellow-emitting phosphors. It is challenging to discover cyan-green-emitting (480–520 nm) phosphors for compensating the spectral gap and producing full-spectrum white light. In this work, we successfully discovered two unprecedented bright cyan-green emitting Rb3RV2O8 (R = Y, Lu) phosphors that gives emission bands centered at 500 nm upon 362 nm n-UV light excitation. Interestingly, the both self-activated compounds exhibit high internal quantum efficiencies (IQEs) of 71% for Rb3YV2O8 and 85% for Rb3LuV2O8, respectively. Moreover, controllable emission color can be successfully tuned from cyan-green to orange-red across the warm white light region by design strategy of VO43– → Eu3+ energy transfer. The thermal quenching of as-prepared phosphors could be effectively mitigated by this design strategy. Finally, the as-fabricated n-UV (λex = 370 nm) pumped phosphor-converted (pc) W-LED devices utilizing Rb3RV2O8 (R = Y, Lu) along with commercial phosphors demonstrate well-distributed warm white light with high color-rendering index (CRI) of 91.9 and 93.5, and a low correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5095 and 4946 K. It suggests that the both vanadate phosphors have potential applications in full-spectrum pc-WLEDs.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection poses a significant health challenge to swine production, inducing oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and reduced growth performance. Probiotic fermentation of medicinal plants is a promising strategy for generating novel probiotic-derived products for improving animal health. In this study, Phellodendron amurense (PA), a plant with both medicinal and dietary applications, was fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum R (LpR). We investigated the potential of fermented extract (FPAE) as a probiotic-derived feed additive for swine and its underlying mechanisms. Nontargeted UPLC‒MS/MS metabolomics revealed that fermentation significantly reshaped the metabolic profile of PAs, with marked enrichment of phenolic acids, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Specifically, the berberine content increased 2.5-fold, and the levels of antioxidant components such as ferulic acid and kaempferol were significantly increased. In vitro, FPAE inhibited PRV replication in PK-15 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (84.15% inhibition at 5 mg/mL). It also alleviated virus-induced oxidative stress, as evidenced by restored glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The supernatant of LpR showed no antiviral activity, confirming that the enhanced efficacy resulted from biotransformation of the plant matrix. In vivo, daily oral administration of FPAE (crude drug concentration of 125 mg/mL, 200 µL/mouse, equivalent to 892 mg/kg) significantly improved the survival rate (80% vs. 53.33% in the model group, and higher than the 73.33% in the unfermented PAE group); increased the average daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio; reduced the viral loads in the brain, lung, spleen and kidney; and, compared with PAE, more effectively reduced viral loads in the brain and alleviated pathological damage; and alleviated clinical symptoms and pathological damage to the brain. Furthermore, FPAE suppressed systemic inflammatory responses (decreased serum IL-6, P < 0.05) and enhanced antioxidant defense (increased GSH-Px activity, P < 0.05, P = 0.004). Through a multi-dimensional “constituent–cell–animal” approach, this study demonstrated that probiotic fermentation restructures the chemical composition of Phellodendron amurense and synergistically regulates host oxidative stress and inflammatory responses to confer protection against viral infection. These findings provide a theoretical basis for developing LpR-fermented Phellodendron amurense as a functional feed additive to control PRV infection in swine.

Rabeprazole is an effective proton pump inhibitor to treat acid-related diseases. To achieve the simultaneous determination of rabeprazole enantiomers in human plasma, a chiral LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated. Acetonitrile including 0.1% ammonium were used as protein precipitating agent. Analytes were separated within 8 minutes on a Chiralpak IC column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was 10 mM ammonium acetate including 0.2% acetic acid-acetonitrile (35:65, v/v). An API 4000 mass spectrometer was used as detector for the analysis, and the multiple reactions monitoring transitions of m/z 360.1 → 242.2 and 346.1 → 198.1 were opted for quantifying rabeprazole enantiomers and internal standard. Matrix effects were not apparent for each enantiomer and internal standard (esomeprazole), the calibration curves were linear over the concentration of 0.500 to 400 ng·mL −1 , the intra-run precisions were below 5.4%, the inter-run precisions were below 9.9%, and the accuracy was between −9.2% and 9.3%. There was no chiral inversion observed during sample storage, preparation procedure, and analysis, demonstrating that analytes were stable in this study. This method was applied to the stereoselective pharmacokinetic study of (R)-(+)- and (S)-(−)-rabeprazole after oral administration of 10-mg rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablet in healthy Chinese subjects.

(1- x )Ba 0.65 Bi 0.07 Sr 0.245 TiO 3 - x R 2 O 3 (BBST- x R) ceramics embellished by lanthanides (La, Yb, Gd) were synthesized in this study, and the effects in properties were ascertained. The results show that lanthanides with smaller ionic radius differences and larger relative mass will effectively limit mass transport of other cations and restrain grain growth. It is also found that the paraelectric phase of ceramics can be stabilized by decreasing the ionic radius of lanthanides. In particular, the addition of La unfolds the exceptional recoverable storage density ( W rec ) up to 2.23 J/cm 3 and efficiency ( η ) of ∼76.7% under 280 kV/cm. Finite element simulation and PFM observation also further explain the reasons for the excellent performance. Concurrently, BBST-0.015La ceramic exhibits outstanding thermostability from 30 °C to 150 °C and frequency stabilization from 1 Hz to 300 Hz which indicates the potentiality of application in actual surroundings.

Self-heal (Prunella vulgaris L.) is a perennial edible plant that is widely distributed across the world and is traditionally consumed as a food additive in soft drink beverages. In this study, to explore the functional components of P. vulgaris, an investigation of its ethanol extracts has been conducted by our group. As a result, twelve (1–12) vulgarisin-type diterpenoids with a special 5/6/4/5-fused ring skeleton, including six new ones (1–6), were obtained. Their structures including the absolute configuration were elucidated based on comprehensive spectroscopic evidence, ECD calculations, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. All the isolates were tested for neuroprotective effects against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) on primary neuron cells through the oxygen and glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) induced injury model. The results showed that all twelve vulgarisin-type diterpenoids possess promising neuroprotective activity at a concentration of 10 μM. Among them, compound 3 can significantly suppress cell apoptosis by regulating Bax/Bcl-2 protein expression and inhibiting cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-9 expression with a western blotting assay. Further research revealed that compound 3 could improve mitochondrial function by inhibiting mitochondrial cytochrome c release, reducing ROS levels, and maintaining the membrane potential. This work firstly reports vulgarisin-type diterpenoids possessing neuroprotective activity. These findings also suggest that daily consumption of P. vulgaris might prevent cerebral disorders via a mitochondria-related pathway.
