Abstract— Cr- and Pt-based catalysts are the most widely used industrial catalysts for propane dehydrogenation (PDH). However, these catalysts still show disadvantages such as environmental toxicity and high economic cost. Cobalt (Co)-based catalysts have become promising candidate catalysts for PDH reactions due to their environmental friendliness and low cost. In this paper, Co-based catalysts are prepared by the impregnation method and precipitation method, respectively. The obtained catalysts all show grape-like nanocrystalline aggregated structures with intercrystallite mesopores and high surface area. This can improve the dispersion of Co species and mass transfer of catalysts. Comparing catalysts prepared by the two methods, the impregnated 1CoZI sample shows smaller CoO x nanoparticle size and higher Co 2+ /Co 3+ ratio than the precipitated 1CoZP sample. Moreover, the impregnated 1CoZI sample shows higher propane conversion and propylene selectivity, which is attributed to the smaller CoO x nanoparticle size and higher content of Co 2+ species bonded with zeolite framework. This structure brings higher catalytic activity and stability to the catalyst. Different PDH reaction conditions such as the reaction temperature and propane GHSV are also investigated. Under the optimal PDH reaction conditions (525°C and 4500 h –1 ), the impregnated 1CoZI shows high propane conversion (32%) and propylene selectivity (86%).

Photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 has attracted considerable interest owing to its potential to resolve the energy and environmental problems. Nevertheless, the lack of proficient photocatalysts has restricted the application of solar-driven photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Herein, we reported an S-scheme heterojunction by combining g-C 3 N 4 with La 3+ and Rh 3+ co-doped SrTiO 3 through the electrostatic self-assembly method for the efficient photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. In comparison with g-C 3 N 4 , the as-prepared CN/LRSTO-30 wt% S-scheme heterojunction not only possesses a broadened visible-light response due to the defect states in La, Rh co-doped SrTiO 3 induced by co-doped La 3+ and Rh 3+ but also has more adsorption sites for the capture and activation of CO 2 molecules. Additionally, separation and transfer efficiency of the photoinduced charge carriers is much enhanced in the CN/LRSTO-30 wt% S-scheme heterojunction via its robust internal electric field, which is firmly demonstrated by in situ irradiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy technology. Consequently, the prepared S-scheme heterojunction achieves impressive photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance with an average CO and CH 4 evolution rate of 4.1–1.8 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , respectively, which are ~ 1.9 and ~ 22.5-fold higher than those of pure g-C 3 N 4 . This study provides innovative perspectives on the design of creative S-scheme heterojunctions for applications in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Graphical abstract

Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a nontoxic and ideal storage material for hydrogen due to its safety and high hydrogen storage capacity. In order to improve the practicality of the sodium borohydride hydrogen production system, we deposited non-precious metal catalytic materials on readily available polymer foams using a simple chemical plating method, developing a suitable 3D catalyst. Its high specific surface area enables it to produce hydrogen at a rate of up to 3.92 L min−1g−1. Its unique structure gives the catalyst excellent durability. In addition, an efficient NaBH4-based H2supply system was developed using this catalyst. Co-Cu-B can facilitate stable hydrogen production from NaBH4, yielding a consistent power output ranging from 0 to 100 W. This work provides a new pathway for developing high-efficiency monolithic self-supported catalysts for industrial applications.

Modification of polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising strategy for the next generation of bioresorbable vascular stent biomaterials. With this focus, FeMOFs nanoparticles was incorporated in PLA, and then post loading of CO was performed by pressurization. It showed FeMOFs incorporation increased hydrophilicity of the surface and CO loading, and CO release was sustained at least for 3d. It is well acknowledged NETosis and macrophage mediated inflammation are the principal effectors of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, and it further increases the risk of late stent thrombosis and restenosis. In this study, the effects of CO release of PLA/FeMOFs/CO on NETosis and macrophage behavior were thoroughly explored. In vitro evaluation results showed that PLA/FeMOFs/CO significantly inhibited neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) release and neutrophil elastase (NE) expression by reducing intracellular ROS in a simulated inflammatory environment. It reduced LPS-induced macrophage inflammation with decreased TNF-α expression and increased IL-10 expression. Meanwhile it enhanced endothelial cell activity and growth in inflammatory environment, and inhibited platelet adhesion and activation. In vivo implantation results confirmed that PLA/FeMOFs/CO reduced the macrophages and neutrophils mediated inflammatory response, thus reduced the neointimal hyperplasia. Overall, PLA/FeMOFs/CO effectively prevented the inflammation and restenosis associated with PLA implantation. Our study provides a new strategy to improve the immunocompatibility of PLA implant materials.

In the study, poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) was grafted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) in the presence of the co-monomer N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP), and then it was employed to enhance the toughness of poly (lactic acid) (PLA). It was found the functionalized PBAT had a better toughening effect on PLA than neat PBAT. The PLA/PBAT-GMA (70/30) blend undergoes brittle-ductile transition when the graft monomer ratio of GMA:NVP:DCP exceeds 2:2:0.2. The impact strength of PLA/PBAT-GMA (3:3:0.3) blend reached 65.7 kJ/m 2 , with an elongation at break of 210.9 %. Additionally, rheological tests showed that the entanglement ability of chain segments was enhanced, it was ascribed to the improvement of the compatibility between PLA and PBAT-GMA owing to the compatibilization reaction between the epoxy functional groups in PBAT-GMA and the carboxyl groups in PLA, resulting in the formation of a new copolymer. DMA tests revealed that the T g of PLA and PBAT-GMA were close to each other, confirming the improved compatibility of the PLA/PBAT-GMA blends. This offers a novel method for preparing super-though PLA.

Non-precious metal catalysts play a significant role in the field of hydrogenation. This study synthesized Co-BTC from cobalt nitrate hexahydrate and 1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid benzene. By changing the calcination temperature of Co-BTC in an inert atmosphere, a series of novel non-precious metal Co/C microsphere catalysts were successfully prepared. The composition and structure of the Co/C-n catalysts were characterised by FESEM, TEM, XRD, IR, XPS and BET. These results confirm that 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid provides a rich carbon matrix and metallic Co nanoparticles are generated by self-reduction on the carbon matrix. The graphite matrix formed during the calcination process has a rich pore structure and good dispersion of active components on the catalyst surface, which is very favourable for the catalytic reaction. In the hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene (o-CNB) to o-chloroaniline (o-CAN), the Co/C-500 catalyst showed the best catalytic performance. At 80 °C and 2 MPa H2 for 60 minutes, the conversion rate of o-CNB reached 99% and the selectivity reached 99%. When the reaction takes 5 minutes, the conversion rate reaches 10.5%, and the TOF value reaches 36.3 h−1. The Co/C-500 catalyst can be easily recycled and reused after reaction with the help of a magnetic field. Moreover, this catalyst is also effective in the selective hydrogenation of other nitroaromatic hydrocarbons containing halogen or unsaturated groups to corresponding aniline. This simple and direct synthesis method may lead to the economic production of large-scale Co/C catalysts, which is an attractive prospect for the industrial trial production of corresponding aniline.

Thrombosis represents the leading cause of death and disability upon major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Numerous pathological conditions such as COVID-19 and metabolic disorders can lead to a heightened thrombotic risk; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Our study illustrates that 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine (2MBC), a branched-chain acylcarnitine, is accumulated in patients with COVID-19 and in patients with MACEs. 2MBC enhances platelet hyperreactivity and thrombus formation in mice. Mechanistically, 2MBC binds to integrin α2β1 in platelets, potentiating cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activation and platelet hyperresponsiveness. Genetic depletion or pharmacological inhibition of integrin α2β1 largely reverses the pro-thrombotic effects of 2MBC. Notably, 2MBC can be generated in a gut-microbiota-dependent manner, whereas the accumulation of plasma 2MBC and its thrombosis-aggravating effect are largely ameliorated following antibiotic-induced microbial depletion. Our study implicates 2MBC as a metabolite that links gut microbiota dysbiosis to elevated thrombotic risk, providing mechanistic insight and a potential therapeutic strategy for thrombosis.

Background:Temozolomide (TMZ) is the first-line therapy for glioblastoma (GBM), but its clinical efficacy is limited by its short half-life, poor brain targeting, adverse side effects, and the development of drug resistance. Ligustilide (LIG) has been shown to enhance blood-brain barrier permeability and reduce P-glycoprotein activity, thereby potentiating the synergistic effect of TMZ against GBM.Methods:The dual-drug-loaded nanoparticles encapsulating both TMZ and LIG (TMZ/LIG-NPs) were prepared using Poly (d,l-lactic-co-glycolide)-monomethoxy poly (ethylene glycol) (PLGA-mPEG). The physicochemical properties of the NPs, including particle size and zeta potential, were characterized. Cellular uptake of NPs was evaluated using flow cytometry and fluorescence staining. The pharmacokinetic profile and cytotoxicity of TMZ/LIG-NPs were compared to those of free TMZ and a mixture of TMZ and LIG in rat and glioma cells, respectively.Results:The mean particle size of TMZ/LIG-NPs was 117.6 ± 0.7 nm, with a zeta potential of −26.5 ± 0.4 mV. Cellular uptake of NPs was significantly higher than that of free drug in U251 cells. Encapsulation of TMZ in NPs significantly increased its half-life by 1.62-fold compared to free TMZ and significantly improved its pharmacokinetic profile. Moreover, the storage stability of the TMZ/LIG-NPs solution was extended to one month. The toxicity of TMZ/LIG-NPs to glioma cells C6 and U251 was markedly enhanced compared to the mixture of TMZ and LIG.Conclusions:The development of TMZ/LIG-NPs using PLGA-mPEG effectively enhanced the stability and efficacy of both TMZ and LIG. This dual drug-loaded nanoparticle system represents a promising strategy for glioblastoma therapy.

It is important to develop efficient catalysts for improving performance and reducing the cost of direct methanol fuel cells, very promising power sources for portable devices and vehicles. Composition optimization and shape control are two effective strategies to develop high-performance catalysts. Inspired by the excellent performance of PtBi-type catalysts in inhibiting CO-poisoning and the outstanding electrocatalytic performance of two-dimensional Pt-based alloy nanoplates, the synthesis of PtBiTe hexagonal nanoplates using Bi2Te3 hexagonal nanoplates as templates is proposed here. Both the Bi2Te3 nanoplates and the PtBiTe nanoplates have a hexagonal plate-like shape. The PtBiTe nanoplates catalyst displays outstanding specific activity and mass activity, and superior stability for the methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline electrolytes compared to the commercial Pt/C catalyst and the PtTe nanoplates catalyst. The results of the in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurement and the theoretical calculations based on the density functional theory support that methanol oxidation follows the CO-free pathway on the PtBiTe NPs, which effectively prevents the catalyst from being poisoned by CO.

Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) can cause a variety of malignancies. Ganciclovir (GCV) is one of the most efficient drugs against KSHV, but its non-specificity can cause other side effects in patients. Nucleic acid miR-34a-5p can inhibit the transcription of KSHV RNA and has great potential in anti-KSHV therapy, but there are still problems such as easy degradation and low delivery efficiency. Here, we constructed a co-loaded dual-drug nanocomplex (GCV@ZIF-8/PEI-FA+miR-34a-5p) that containsGCVinternally and adsorbs miR-34a-5p externally. The folic acid (FA)-coupled polyethyleneimine (PEI) coating layer (PEI-FA) was shown to increase the cellular uptake of the nanocomplex, which is conducive to the enrichment of drugs at the KSHV infection site.GCVand miR-34a-5p are released at the site of the KSHV infection through the acid hydrolysis characteristics of ZIF-8 and the “proton sponge effect” of PEI. The co-loaded dual-drug nanocomplex not only inhibits the proliferation and migration of KSHV-positive cells but also decreases the mRNA expression level of KSHV lytic and latent genes. In conclusion, this co-loaded dual-drug nanocomplex may provide an attractive strategy for antiviral drug delivery and anti-KSHV therapy.

Constructing local microenvironments is one of the important strategies to improve the electrocatalytic performances, such as in electrochemical CO 2 reduction (ECR). However, effectively customizing these microenvironments remains a significant challenge. Herein, utilizing carbon nanotube (CNT) heterostructured semi-open Co-N 2 O 2 catalytic configurations (Co-salophen), we have demonstrated the role of the local microenvironment on promoting ECR through regulating the location of hydroxyl groups. Concretely, compared with the maximum Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 62% for carbon monoxide (CO) presented by Co-salophen/CNT without a hydroxyl microenvironment, the designed Co-salophen-OH 3 /CNT, featuring hydroxyl groups at the Co-N 2 O 2 structural opening, shows remarkable CO 2 -to-CO electroreduction activity across a wide potential window, with the FE of CO up to 95%. In particular, through the deuterium kinetic isotope experiments and theoretical calculations, we decoded that the hydroxyl groups act as a proton relay station, promoting the efficient transfer of protons to the Co-N 2 O 2 active sites. The finding demonstrates a promising molecular design strategy for enhancing electrocatalysis.

Seven previously undescribed compounds, including four diketomorpholine alkaloids ( 1 ‒ 4 ), one indole diketopiperazine alkaloid ( 9 ), one chromone ( 10 ), and one benzoic acid derivative ( 13 ), and nine known compounds ( 5 – 8 , 11 , 12 , and 14 – 16 ) were isolated from two different fungal sources. Nine of these metabolites ( 1 – 9 ) were obtained from a seagrass-derived Aspergillus alabamensis SYSU-6778, while the others were obtained from a mixed culture of A. alabamensis SYSU-6778 and a co-isolated fungus A . fumigatiaffinis SYSU-6786. The chemical structures of the compounds were deduced via spectroscopic techniques (including HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR), chemical reactions, and ECD calculations. It is worth noting that compound 10 was identified as a defensive secondary metabolite of strain SYSU-6786, produced through the induction of compound 8 under co-culture conditions. Compounds 3 and 4 possessed a naturally rare isotryptophan core. Moreover, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited potent inhibitory activities against fish pathogenic bacterium Edwardsiella ictalurid, with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 10.0 μg/mL for both compounds.
