Background: Blueberry anthocyanin such as Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. We aimed to investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside against Aβ1–42-induced apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells as well as the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Cell viability and intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species were detected by MTT, a reactive oxygen species detection kit, and a MitoSOX red mitochondrial superoxide indicator. The mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular calcium ion content, and adenotriphophate (ATP) were identified via a mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit, calcium ion detection kit, and ATP detection kit, and apoptosis was detected via flow cytometry. Transcription of apoptosis-related genes was detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and expression of apoptosis-related proteins was identified using Western blot. Results: We found that Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside could downregulate the expression of cytochrome c, caspase 9, caspase 3, and other genes and proteins, which consequently reduced the rate of apoptosis. Additionally, it could upregulate Bcl-2 gene and protein expression, downregulate Bax gene and protein expression, regulate mitochondrial membrane permeability and calcium-release channels, reduce calcium influx into mitochondria, maintain intracellular calcium ion levels, reduce intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species and increase ATP levels, maintain the mitochondrial membrane potential at a normal level, maintain normal mitochondrial functioning, and prevent apoptosis. Discussion: Taken together, Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside showed dose-dependent preventive and therapeutic effects against Aβ1–42-induced apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells. Conclusions: Cyanidin 3-O-glucoside showed a better preventive effect than therapeutic effect against Aβ1–42-induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells.

Four new d-block metal complexes formulated as [NiII(H3thptacn)]Cl2·H2O (1), [MnIV(thptacn)]ClO4 (2), [CuII3(Hthptacn)2](ClO4)2 (3), and [CdII2(H3thptacn)2Cl2][B(C6H5)4]2 (4) were obtained from the macrocyclic ligand 1,4,7-tris(3-hydroxypropyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (H3thptacn) either through solvent diffusion or by evaporation of their solutions. These complexes were characterized by single crystal X-ray structural determination, elemental analysis, and routine spectroscopic methods. Complexes 1 and 2 exhibit similar mononuclear structures with the metal centers being surrounded by both the backbone nitrogen atoms and the pendant coordinating alcohol/alkoxide groups. Complex 3 is a linear trinuclear cluster, where three Cu(II) centers are combined together by the bridging alkoxide groups in a centro-symmetric pattern. Two chloride groups join two Cd(II) atoms each chelated by one triply protonated ligand H3thptacn to afford dinuclear compound 4 with a symmetry center. When coordinating to different d-block metals, the macrocyclic ligand exhibits four types of binding modes with various dissociation status on its pendant alcohol groups and different numbers of these pendant groups participating in coordination. The magnetic measurements revealed significant zero-field splitting for mononuclear Ni(II) and Mn(IV) complexes. A moderate antiferromagnetic interaction between the neighboring Cu(II) centers governs the magnetic properties of 3 with J = −166(3) cm−1.

F-Doping effects on polyaniline-derived carbon coated Li3V2(PO4)3 (Li3V2(PO4)3−xFx@C) as a cathode for high performance Li rechargeable batteries are systematically investigated with a combined experimental and DFT theoretical calculation approach. The results clearly indicate that the doping amount has a significant impact on the rate capability and long cycle life. The optimal material (Li3V2(PO4)2.88F0.12@C) delivers 123.16 mA h g−1@2C, which is close to the theoretical value (133 mA h g−1), while showing a greatly improved cycle stability. Rietveld refinements show that the F− doping does not obey Vegard's Law, which may be attributed to the generated lower valence of V ions. AC impedance spectroscopy shows that the F-doping can achieve faster interfacial charge transfer for higher reaction reversibility. DFT calculations confirm that the lower V2+ (t2g↑)3 does exist in Li3V2(PO4)2.88F0.12, and the mean nearest neighbor Li–O bond length also increases for faster electrochemical kinetics, and further reveal that there is a tendency for a transition from the insulator to the n-type semiconductor due to the F dopant. The combined experimental and calculated results suggest that F-doping indeed greatly facilitates the charge transfer rate of the Li+ insertion/de-insertion process for better reversibility and enhances the Li+ diffusion rate to access the reaction sites, thus resulting in high rate capacity and cycling stability. This work not only offers a facile and effective approach to synthesize high performance Li-ion battery material for very promising practical applications, but also discloses scientific insights on element coating and doping to guide the electrode material design for fast electrode kinetics in energy storage devices.

Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) exhibit great potential due to their advantages of both sufficient strength and high ionic conductivity . However, their interfacial impendence and thickness hinder potential applications. Herein, a thin CSE with good interface performance is designed through the combination of immersion precipitation and in situ polymerization. By employing a nonsolvent in immersion precipitation, a porous poly(vinylidene fluoride-cohexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) membrane could be rapidly created. The pores in the membrane could accommodate sufficient well-dispersed inorganic Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP) particles. Subsequent in situ polymerized 1,3‑dioxolane (PDOL) further protects LATP from reacting with lithium metal and supplies superior interfacial performance. The CSE has a thickness of ∼ 60 μm, ionic conductivity of 1.57 × 10 −4 S cm −1 , and oxidation stability of 5.3 V. The Li/1.25LATP-CSE/Li symmetric cell has a long cycling performance of 780 h at 0.3 mA cm −2 for 0.3 mAh cm −2 . The Li/1.25LATP-CSE/LiFePO 4 cell exhibits a discharge capacity of 144.6 mAh/g at 1C and a capacity retention of 97.72 % after 300 cycles. Continuous depletion of lithium salts due to the reconstruction of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) may be responsible for battery failure. The combination of the fabrication method and failure mechanism gives new insight into designing CSEs.

Novel, efficient and environmentally friendly approaches have been developed for the synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepine-2,3-dicarboxylates by one-pot three-component domino reactions in the presence of a catalytic amount of γ-Fe 2 O 3 @SiO 2 /Ce(OTf) 3 in EtOH at ambient temperature. A total of 32 2,5-dihydro-1 H -1,5-benzodiazepine-2,3-dicarboxylates and 2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1 H -1,5-benzodiazepine-2,3-dicarboxylates with enamine or imine structure of the heterocycle, respectively, were obtained in good yields by reacting substituted 1,2-phenylenediamine, β-carbonyl esters, and ethyl glyoxylate or ethyl pyruvate. One-pot reactions were successfully realized to form one new cycle and four new bonds (one C–C, two C–N, one C=C or two C–C, one C–N, one C=N). Furthermore, plausible mechanisms for the formation of 1,5-benzodiazepine-2,3-dicarboxylates have been proposed. The salient features of this reaction include short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, moderate to excellent yields, recyclability of the catalyst, and wide substrate scope.

A novel dual-template magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) was synthesized to extract normetanephrine (NMN), metanephrine (MN) and 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT) from spot urine samples. As the adsorbent of dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE), the MMIP was prepared using dopamine and MN as dual templates, methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinking reagent and magnetic nanoparticles as the magnetic core. NMN, MN, 3-MT and creatinine (Cr) in spot urine samples were selectively enriched by d-SPE and detected by HPLC-fluorescence detection/ultraviolet detection. The peak area (A) ratios of NMN, MN and 3-MT to Cr were used for the diagnosis of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs). The results showed that the adsorption efficiencies of MMIP for target analytes were all higher than 89.0%, and the coefficient variation precisions of intra-assay and inter-assay for the analytes were within 4.9% and 6.3%, respectively. The recoveries of the analytes were from 93.2% to 112.8%. The MMIP was still functional within 14 days and could be reused at least seven times. The d-SPE and recommended solid-phase extraction (SPE) were both used to pretreat spot urine samples from 18 PPGLs patients and 22 healthy controls. The correlation coefficients of ANMN/ACrand AMN/ACrbetween d-SPE and SPE were both higher than 0.95. In addition, the areas under the receiver operator curves for spot urine ANMN/ACr, AMN/ACrand plasma free NMN and MN were 0.975, 0.773 and 0.990, 0.821, respectively, indicating the two methods had the similar performances. The d-SPE method took only 20 min, which was effective in clinical application.Keywords:magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer;normetanephrine;metanephrine;3-methoxytyramine;spot urine;PPGLs diagnosis

This work describes an acid–degradable and tumor–targeted nanogels prepared by the copolymerization between lactobionic acid-modified methacrylated carboxymethyl chitosan and acid–labile methacrylated orthoester–based monomers. The size distribution and micromorphology of the prepared nanogels were observed by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The stability of nanogels in various environments was then investigated. Doxorubicin as a model drug was successfully encapsulated into nanogels. In vitro cellular uptake and MTT results indicate that the tumor–targeting and pH–sensitive nanogels display higher cellular internalization and cytotoxicity than non–target nanogels and free DOX. The improved penetration and growth inhibition against 3–D multicellular spheroids further demonstrate that the dual–functional nanogels may be a potential nano-carrier for drug delivery in cancer therapy.

To alleviate the depletion of lithium resources and improve battery capacity and rate capacity, the development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) is crucial. The open channels monoclinic structure Li3V2(PO4)3 is conducive to the transfer and diffusion of guest ions, making it a promising cathode material for AZIBs. Therefore, in this study, nanoneedles and particles Li3V2(PO4)3 cathode materials for AZIBs were prepared by a hydrothermal assisted sol–gel method, and the effect of synthesized pH values was studied. XRD results show that all samples had the monoclinic structure, and the Li3V2(PO4)3 sample prepared at pH = 7 exhibits (LVP-pH7) the highest peak tips and narrowest peak widths. SEM images demonstrate that all samples have the morphology character of randomly oriented needles and irregular particles, with the LVP-pH7 sample having more needle-like particles that contribute to ion diffusion. EDS results show uniform distribution of P, V, and O elements in the LVP-pH7 sample, and no obvious aggregation phenomenon is observed. Electrochemical tests have shown that the LVP-pH7 sample exhibits excellent cycling performance (97.37% after 50 cycles at 200 mA g−1) and rate ability compared to other samples. The CV test results showed that compared with other samples, the LVP-pH7 sample had the most excellent ionic diffusion coefficient (2.44 × 10−12 cm2 s−1). Additionally, the Rct of LVP-pH7 is the lowest (319.83 Ω) according to the findings of EIS and Nyquist plot fitting, showing a decreased charge transfer resistance and raising the kinetics of the reaction.

Alluaudite-type Na2+2xFe2−x(SO4)3 has been a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high operating voltage and stable structure. However, its actual electrochemical performance suffers from intrinsic sluggish kinetics and poor electronic conductivity. In this work, for the first time, we propose a Na2.48(Fe0.89Mg0.03Sn0.04)1.76(SO4)3 cathode material prepared via a Mg/Sn co-doping strategy. Inactive Mg2+ stabilizes the structure, while Sn4+ inhibits the decomposition of electrolytes under high voltage. The Mg/Sn co-doping strategy enhances the kinetics of sodium ion diffusion reactions, leading to improved electrochemical properties, especially at low temperatures. The optimal NFMS/C-Sn0.03 cathode exhibits a long-term capacity retention of 91.6% after 1500 cycles at 5C and outstanding reversible capacities of 74.3 and 58.3 mAh g−1 at 10C and even at 50C, respectively. Furthermore, the NFMS/C-Sn0.03 cathode demonstrates a high capacity retention of 95.5% at −5 °C and 88.4% at −15 °C, with a remarkable capacity retention of 93.9% after 1000 cycles at room temperature and 85.5% after 700 cycles at −15 °C, respectively. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques confirmed that the presence of unpaired electrons and enhanced electronic conductivity could be attributed to the Mg/Sn co-doping. This work provides a feasible approach for designing low-cost, durable, low-temperature, and high-performance cathode materials for SIBs.

The rational design of D–A type polymeric photocatalysts using triphenylamine (TPA) as the electron donor (D) and a benzothiadiazole derivative (BTDO) as the electron acceptor (A) is investigated. To optimize photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, we systematically enhanced the electron-donating capability by incorporating oligothiophene linkers of different lengths, monothiophene (T), bithiophene (DT), and terthiophene (TT), between the TPA and BTDO units. Comprehensive characterization revealed that the number of thiophene rings significantly affects both the photophysical and electrochemical properties of the polymers, thereby directly affecting photocatalytic activity. The results demonstrate that introducing thiophene oligomers significantly improves performance, with the terthiophene (TT) linker proving exceptionally advantageous. The TPA-TT-BTDO polymer exhibits a substantially broadened visible light absorption range, a reduced bandgap, and most critically, highly efficient suppression of photogenerated charge carrier recombination. This enhancement is attributed to the unique coplanar conformation enforced by the TT unit, which minimizes the dihedral angle between TPA and BTDO, facilitating intramolecular charge transfer. TPA-TT-BTDO achieved an outstanding photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 101.2 mmol h−1 g−1 under visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm) at 10 °C without noble metal co-catalysts. Remarkably, its activity further increased to 125 mmol h−1 g−1 under natural sunlight irradiation. Systematic analysis revealed that longer thiophene chains induce a bathochromic shift, diminish PL intensity, yet improve photoelectrochemical properties and charge transfer efficiency. This work validates the molecular design strategy of precisely controlling oligothiophene chain length to modulate the band structure and electronic properties of D–A polymers. The superior performance of TPA-TT-BTDO stems synergistically from its extended light harvesting, efficient charge separation, and rapid interfacial transfer. These findings may provide crucial insights and practical guidance for developing high-efficiency polymeric photocatalysts through targeted molecular engineering.

The depletion of high-grade sphalerite has directed attention to smithsonite as a strategic substitute for sustaining zinc supply. However, its close association with quartz complicates selective separation, while conventional direct flotation requires moderately to strongly alkaline pulps, causing equipment corrosion, excessive reagent consumption, and unstable concentrate quality that hinder large-scale use. To address this issue, 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (DMB) was employed as a new collector, providing an alternative chemical environment and enabling, for the first time, an efficient reverse-flotation route for separating smithsonite from quartz. Micro-flotation tests showed that at pH = 7.0 with only 30 mg/L DMB, the concentrate reached 47.05 % Zn with 92.78 % Zn recovery and 95.03 % desilication efficiency, demonstrating both high selectivity and low reagent consumption. Electrokinetic, spectroscopic, and microscopic analyses revealed that DMB adsorption on quartz is governed by electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding, increasing surface potential, hydrophobicity, and roughness, whereas electrostatic repulsion limited adsorption on smithsonite, preserving its hydrophilicity. This study establishes a simplified flotation route independent of strong alkalinity, showing high adaptability to high-silica, low-grade smithsonite ores and offering valuable theoretical insight and a broader framework for advancing efficient recovery and utilization of oxidized zinc resources.

Microplastics derived from plastic waste have emerged as a pervasive environmental pollutant with potential transfer and accumulation through the food chain, thus posing risks to both ecosystems and human health. The gut microbiota, tightly intertwined with metabolic processes, exert substantial influences on host physiology by utilizing dietary compounds and generating bacterial metabolites such as tryptophan and bile acid. Our previous studies have demonstrated that exposure to microplastic polystyrene (PS) disrupts the gut microbiota and induces colonic inflammation. Meanwhile, intervention with cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), a natural anthocyanin derived from red bayberry, could mitigate colonic inflammation by reshaping the gut bacterial composition. Despite these findings, the specific influence of gut bacteria and their metabolites on alleviating colonic inflammation through C3G intervention remains incompletely elucidated. Therefore, employing a C57BL/6 mouse model, this study aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying how C3G modulates gut bacteria and their metabolites to alleviate colonic inflammation. Notably, our findings demonstrated the efficacy of C3G in reversing the elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) and the upregulation of mRNA expression (Il-6, Il-1β, and Tnf-α) induced by PS exposure. Meanwhile, C3G effectively inhibited the reduction in levels (IL-22, IL-10, and IL-4) and the downregulation of mRNA expression (Il-22, Il-10, and Il-4) of anti-inflammatory cytokines induced by PS exposure. Moreover, PS-induced phosphorylation of the transcription factor NF-κB in the nucleus, as well as the increased level of protein expression of iNOS and COX-2 in the colon, were inhibited by C3G. Metabolisms of gut bacterial tryptophan and bile acids have been extensively implicated in the regulation of inflammatory processes. The 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing disclosed that PS treatment significantly increased the abundance of pro-inflammatory bacteria (Desulfovibrio, norank_f_Oscillospiraceae, Helicobacter, and Lachnoclostridium) while decreasing the abundance of anti-inflammatory bacteria (Dubosiella, Akkermansia, and Alistipes). Intriguingly, C3G intervention reversed these pro-inflammatory changes in bacterial abundances and augmented the enrichment of bacterial genes involved in tryptophan and bile acid metabolism pathways. Furthermore, untargeted metabolomic analysis revealed the notable upregulation of metabolites associated with tryptophan metabolism (shikimate, l-tryptophan, indole-3-lactic acid, and N-acetylserotonin) and bile acid metabolism (3b-hydroxy-5-cholenoic acid, chenodeoxycholate, taurine, and lithocholic acid) following C3G administration. Collectively, these findings shed new light on the protective effects of dietary C3G against PS exposure and underscore the involvement of specific gut bacterial metabolites in the amelioration of colonic inflammation.
