Wastewater discharge of traditional Chinese medicine production is a serious threat to the environment in China. This study investigated the effectiveness of the UF-FO-MD hybrid system for resources recycle from the TCM wastewater. Real TCM wastewater was treated with the self-assemble UF-FO-MD hybrid system. Moreover, the natural surfactant rejection and the FO fouling impact were evaluated by separate FO operation with synthetic TCM wastewater, and MD wetting was also assessed. Results show that the UF-FO-MD hybrid system successfully isolated the macromolecular substances, bioactive compounds and water in the TCM wastewater for recovering useful resources. Natural surfactants in the TCM wastewater could be effectively rejected by FO, avoiding the subsequent MD wetting problem which has occurred in our previous study on the resource recovering with the UF-MD hybrid system. However, FO membrane fouling might be an issue affecting the recovery efficiency of bioactive compounds from TCM wastewater. The bioactive compounds could not be completely concentrated due to potential adsorption on the fouling layer .

Tri(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP), a common organophosphate flame retardant , was frequently detected in the environment and posed threats to human health. In this work, the main component of ilmenite FeTiO 3 was synthesized by the sol-gel method and employed as the catalyst for the degradation of TCPP by activating persulfate (PS) under UV irradiation. The degradation processes were fitted by the pseudo-first-order kinetic. The k obs value in UV/FeTiO 3 /PS system was up to 0.0056 min −1 and much higher than that in UV/PS (0.0014 min −1 ), UV/FeTiO 3 (0.0012 min −1 ) and FeTiO 3 /PS (0.0016 min −1 ) systems, demonstrating a distinct synergistic effect in TCPP removal . The degradation efficiency of TCPP increased with the increase of UV intensity, PS concentration and catalyst dosage, and with the decrease of pH. By quenching experiment and EPR analysis, ·OH was confirmed to be the dominant radical in the reaction of the UV/FeTiO 3 /PS system. The possible degradation pathways of TCPP were dechlorination , dealkylation, and further oxidation of alkyl groups based on the theoretical calculation of frontier molecular orbits. The toxicity of degradation intermediates evaluated by luminescence inhibition rate of photoluminescence was higher than TCPP. Thus, TCPP can be degraded in the UV/FeTiO 3 /PS system effectively at the premise of introducing controlling measures to reduce the toxicity of degradation intermediates.

Efficient removal of thiophenic sulfides is important for the purification of fuel. Herein, 2-hydroxypropyl- β -cyclodextrin polymers (2-HP- β -CDPs) with micro-mesopores are synthesized using 2-HP- β -CD and tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (TFTPN) for removing thiophenic sulfides. The cross-linking of 2-HP- β -CD and TFTPN units forms the mesopores, and the cyclodextrin cavity acts as the micropores. The 2-HP- β -CDP 1:4 (1:4 is the molar ratio of 2-HP- β -CD and TFTPN in preparation) possesses a surface area of 197.49 m 2 g –1 , and most of pores are at 1.09 nm of micropores and 6.06 nm of mesopores. The synergistic effect of the micro-mesopores promotes 2-HP- β -CDP 1:4 to remove the thiophenic sulfides in the order of benzo[ b ]thiophene > 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene ≈ dibenzothiophene > thiophene. The removal efficiency and rate using 2-HP- β -CDP 1:4 are better than those of CD-based and most traditional adsorbents that have been reported. Most of sulfides adsorbed by mesopores diffuse rapidly to micropores from the wide end of cyclodextrin and then are selectively captured by the cyclodextrin units in 2-HP- β -CDP 1:4 . These findings can guide the synthesis of CD-based polymers and the application of fuel purification.

Aerobic oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an important reaction for producing green and sustainable chemicals. Herein, natural clay mineral palygorskite (Pal)-supported bimetallic Pt–Pd catalyst for the oxidation of HMF to FDCA in water without the addition of any bases was developed. The 1Pt 9 Pd 1 /Pal catalyst with Pt/Pd molar ratio of 9/1 exhibited excellent catalytic performance, and 100% HMF conversion and 99% FDCA yield were obtained under optimum reaction conditions after 12 h, which was mainly attributed to the synergy between palygorskite and bimetallic Pt–Pd nanoparticles . Palygorskite used as support realized the immobilization and dispersion of bimetallic nanoparticles, increasing the catalytic activity . The basicity of palygorskite and alloying effects between Pt and Pd facilitated the formation of FDCA by synergistically catalyzing the oxidation of alcohol and aldehyde groups in the reactants and intermediates. Furthermore, this catalyst showed good stability and reusability . The present work provides a highly efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally benign catalyst for the base-free oxidation of HMF to FDCA in practical industrial applications.

In this paper, an amorphous composite electrocatalyst of Co(OH) 2 -Ni(OH) x S y was prepared by a simple and rapid electrochemical deposition method on nickel foam (NF). The electrochemical performance for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was tested in 1 M KOH solution. The overpotential of Co(OH) 2 -Ni(OH) x S y (Co:Ni = 9:1) electrode was 423 mV at 50 mA cm −2 . The potential of the Co(OH) 2 -Ni(OH) x S y (Co:Ni = 9:1) sample remained essentially unchanged from the initial potential of 1.651 V after 12 h of stability test. In this catalyst, the strong synergistic effect between cobalt and nickel ions, the greatly increased amorphous defect sites and oxygen vacancies, and the abundant electrochemical specific surface area together lead to the increased electrocatalytic activity and high electrocatalyst stability. This amorphous CoNi-based composite electrocatalyst prepared by simple electrodeposition has certain significance for the preparation of hydrogen energy.

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are a chemically heterogeneous set of modifications widely found in processed foods. Due to uncertain bioavailability, dietary AGEs regulate energy homeostasis through mechanisms that largely remain unclear. In this study, selective transmembrane transport of AGEs with different modification types from glycated β-casein digest were identified and compared. The results showed that only a few types of free and peptide-bound AGEs can easily cross the Caco-2 monolayers and thus exert their effects. A combination of biochemical assays, mitochondrial analyses, and comparative experiments identified that the effect of AGEs on cellular energy homeostasis comes mainly from their free fractions. Mechanistically, free AGEs arrest the mitochondrial differentiation and mtDNA repair by intervening in the function of thymidine phosphorylase, and interfering with mitochondrial energy production by inhibiting the activation of AMPK-SIRT6 signaling pathway. These results demonstrate mechanisms by which processed foods cause mitochondrial dysfunction and lead to dysfunctional energy homeostasis.

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-palmitoyl glycerol (OPO)-supplemented infant formulas mimic the nutritional properties of human milk, and thus are the best nutritional alternatives to breast feeding. Herein, structured triacyl glycerides rich in sn-1,3 oleic acid (OA) and sn-2 palmitic acid (PA) are synthesized via a new strategy by employing Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML) adsorbed on magnetized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (mMWCNT) and synthesizing OPO-rich fats in a two-step enzymatic acidolysis. The results showed that the immobilized lipase (mMWCNT-COOH-RML) exhibited improved pH and thermal stability, and it could be separated conveniently from the reaction system via an external magnetic field. It also possessed a much better performance in catalysis of tripalmitin (PPP) with OA to synthesize OPO-rich fats in a two-step enzymatic acidolysis. Under optimized conditions, the content of palmitic acid at the sn-2 position and incorporation of OA at the sn-1,3 positions respectively reached 92.93% and 57.82%. mMWCNT-COOH-RML also exhibited better reusability and catalytic activity than the conventionally used commercial Lipozyme RM IM. The results indicate the employed new strategy for synthesis of OPO-rich fats has a prosperous potential in the application of infant formula formulations.

Heterogeneous photo-Fenton technology has drawn tremendous attention for removal of recalcitrant pollutants. Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) are regarded to be superior candidates in wastewater treatment technology . However, the central metal sites of the MOFs are coordinated with the linkers, which reduces active site exposure and decelerates H 2 O 2 activation. In this study, a series of 2, 5-dioxido-1, 4-benzenedicarboxylate (H 2 DOBDC)-functionalized MIL-100(Fe) with enhanced degradation performance was successfully constructed via solvothermal strategy. The modified MIL-100(Fe) displayed an improvement in photo-Fenton behaviors. The photocatalytic rate constant of optimized MIL-100(Fe)-1/2/3 are 2.3, 3.6 and 4.4 times higher compared with the original MIL-100(Fe). The introduced H 2 DOBDC accelerates the separation and transfer in photo-induced charges and promotes Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle, thus improving the performance. •OH and •O 2 − are main reactive radicals in tetracycline (TCH) degradation. Dealkylation, hydroxylation, dehydration and dealdehyding are the main pathways for TCH degradation.

Solubility behavior as a significant molecular property should be known in the field of crystal form screening, dosage form along with separation and purification in the pharmaceutical industry. In this research work, solubility data of 2-chloronicotinamide (2-CNA) in ten pure solvents including methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), ethylene glycol (EG), 2-methoxyethanol (EGME), 2-ethoxyethanol (EGEE), methyl acetate (MeAc), water, 1,4-dioxane (Diox), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) within the range of 278.15/288.15 K to 323.15 K was experimentally determined by laser monitoring method at 0.1 MPa. Solubility of 2-CNA presented a positive correlation with temperature, and increased with incremental temperature. The result was indicative of a common tendency: DMAC > DMF > EGME > EGEE > EG > MeOH > Diox > EtOH > MeAc > water. The solvation free energy, molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEPS) and Hirshfeld surface were used to study the intermolecular interactions. Moreover, six mathematical models namely “Margules, UNIQUAC, NRTL, Wilson, NRTL-SAC and Jouyban model” were utilized to correlate solubility data of 2-CNA in mono-solvents. UNIQUAC model could provide maximum regression accuracy in correlation with solubility data among six models in terms of average relative deviation (ARD) and root mean square deviation (RMSD). Finally, thermodynamic parameters obtained from UNIQUAC equation indicated that all dissolution and mixing process were always entropy-increasing, endothermic and spontaneous.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum lutein and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in elderly individuals. Methods A total of 60 T2DM patients over 60 years were subgrouped into a DKD group and a non-DKD group according to their urinary microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), while 30 age-matched non-T2DM patients were recruited in the control group. Baseline characteristics, laboratory examination results, and serum lutein levels were compared, and their correlations were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to identify the diagnostic potential of lutein in T2DM and DKD. Results The lutein level in the T2DM group was significantly lower than that in the control group and was also significantly lower in the DKD group than in the non-DKD group ( p < 0.001). Lutein levels were negatively correlated with body mass index, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, and UACR and positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( p < 0.05). T2DM patients were divided into four groups according to the quartile of their lutein level. The proportion of T2DM and DKD gradually decreased with increasing lutein levels ( p < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve of serum lutein in diagnosing T2DM and DKD was 0.880 and 0.779, respectively, with corresponding cut-off values of 0.433 μmol/L and 0.197 μmol/L ( p < 0.001). Conclusion The serum level of lutein is negatively correlated with the incidence of T2DM and DKD in the elderly and can serve as a diagnostic marker for T2DM and DKD.

Isobaric vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for binary systems containing methyl chloroacetate (MC) + methyl 2-chloropropionate (M2C), MC + methyl dichloroacetate (MDC), and M2C + MDC at 101.33 kPa and the saturated vapour pressure data of these components were measured by using a modified Othmer still. The VLE data showed that these binary systems were all slightly positive deviation solutions compared with the ideal system. Herington area and point tests were used to confirm the thermodynamic consistency for these binary systems, and the results showed good thermodynamic consistency. The interaction energy ( E inter ) between these components was calculated by molecular simulation to explain the normal boiling point and VLE behavior. The simulation results showed weak hydrogen bonds between these chlorinated esters. In addition, the binary VLE experimental data were correlated by the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQAC models. The correlated results agreed well with the experimental values.

Herein, we report a reversible and easy assembled fluorometric probe (4-(quinolin-2-ylmethylene)aminoanisole, QMAA ) for the highly selective and sensitive detection of cadmium ion (Cd 2+ ) in DMF solution with PBS buffer (0.01 M, pH = 7.30). The strong fluorescence response of QMAA to Cd 2+ along with a bright blue fluorescence was mainly ascribed to the formation of the complex QMAA–CdCl 2 . The results show that the complexation can inhibit the C N isomerisation and photo–induced electron transfer (PET), and further lead to the occurrence of chelation fluorescence enhancement. The 1:1 stoichiometry of the complex between QMAA and cadmium ion was studied by fluorescence titration, Job’s plot analysis, 1 H NMR, FT–IR, and ESI–MS data, and was further confirmed by the single crystal structure of the complex QMAA–CdCl 2 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have verified the mechanism of fluorescence enhancement. In addition, the limit of detection of QMAA for Cd 2+ was as low as 0.1547 µM (at 10 –7 M level), which was lower than the acceptable limit of Cd 2+ level in drinking water defined by World Health Organization. The analog experiments about nature contamination of Cd 2+ in real samples were finished.
