P,P-bis (2-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)-N-(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)phosphinic amide (APTES-BOP)-modified SBA-15 (SBA-15-BOP) was prepared by a post-synthesis grafting method for the removal of anionic azo dyes from aqueous solutions. The properties of the prepared adsorbent were characterized by PXRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, nitrogen sorption, and elemental analysis. Adsorption equilibrium and adsorption kinetic studies demonstrated that the experimental data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order model. According to Langmuir fitting, SBA-15-BOP showed high adsorption capacity for CR and RR2 dyes, with the maximum adsorption capacities of 518.1 mg g−1 and 253.8 mg g−1, respectively. The thermodynamic study indicated that the adsorption processes of CR and RR2 dyes on SBA-15-BOP were spontaneous and exothermal. The prepared SBA-15-BOP can be a promising adsorbent for the removal of anionic dyes from aqueous solutions.

Multiple hydrogen bonds have been widely used to form a supramolecular network and endow materials with enhanced mechanical strength, good elasticity, and/or self-healing properties. In this study, 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidone (UPy) compounds were synthesized and chemically grafted onto the side chain of epoxy resins. The UPy-modified epoxy resin demonstrated substantial improvements in toughness and elasticity compared with unmodified epoxy resin as proven by a tensile test and distortion test. The breaking elongation of the UPy-modified epoxy resin was 5 times higher than that of unmodified epoxy resin under a tensile test. In addition, the fracture mechanism of the modified epoxy resin matched with the ductile fracture rather than the brittle fracture of unmodified epoxy resins. The introduction of quadruple hydrogen bonds by chemical modification may provide a simple and effective way to design and prepare highly flexible thermosetting resin materials.

The commercial applications of rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are hindered by the slow diffusion kinetic of Mg 2+ ions in cathode materials. To overcome this problem, we design a new Na-Mg hybrid battery with the NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @Carbon (NTP@C) nanoparticles as a cathode material, the Mg metal as an anode and the Mg(TFSI) 2 + NaBH 4 - triglyme/1,2-Dimethoxyethane (DME) as a hybrid electrolyte. For the first time, the Mg(TFSI) 2 is applied as a Mg 2+ ions source in the chlorine-free Na-Mg hybrid electrolyte with NaBH 4 as both Na + ions source and moisture scavenger. The NTP@C/Mg hybrid battery shows excellent electrochemical performance. The corresponding average capacity decay after 1000 cycles is only 0.004% and 0.008% per cycle at 2 C and 10 C, respectively. Even at 20 C, about 60 mAh g −1 can be obtained after 26000 cycles. The impressive capacity retention of 93.7% and 90.2% can be obtained at 5 and 10 C, respectively. The excellent electrochemical performance of the hybrid battery confirms the feasibility using Mg(TFSI) 2 in the chlorine-free hybrid electrolyte for long term cycle. The developed NTP@C/Mg hybrid battery possesses the advantages of excellent electrochemical performances, good safety and low cost, making it promising for the commercial applications, especially for the large-scale energy storages.

Developing reliable and feasible electrochemical sensors for the detection of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is important because the urinary level of 8-OHdG is related to cancer disease. Moreover, the co-existed uric acid (UA) as an interference severe affects the sensitive detection of 8-OHdG. Herein, sensitive monitoring of 8-OHdG was conducted using a nanocomposite of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO@rGO) as the sensing material. This nanocomposite was prepared via in-situ reduction of GO with Zn powders. Compared with those obtained on the unmodified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and GO modified GCE (GO/GCE) the oxidation signals of 8-OHdG are significantly enhanced on the ZnO@rGO nanocomposite coated GCE (ZnO@rGO/GCE). Moreover, uricase has been employed successfully to eliminate the interferences of UA. A large amount of UA did not affect the oxidation signals of trace level of 8-OHdG. The linear range for the detection of 8-OHdG using ZnO@rGO/GCE was from 5.0 to 5000.0 nM. The detection limit was 1.25 nM calculated from a three-signal-to-noise ratio. The developed monitoring system is sensitive and selective for the determination of 8-OHdG and thus useful in practical applications, such as for the monitoring of 8-OHdG in the clinic urine samples.

Co(OH) 2 nanoflakes integrating with Cu nanoparticles were deposited on nickel foam (CuNps-Co(OH) 2 Nfs/Ni f ) by a green and facile one-step deposition method and used for non-enzymatic glucose sensors. The CuNps-Co(OH) 2 Nfs/Ni f composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Electrochemical oxidation of glucose on the CuNps-Co(OH) 2 Nfs/Ni f composite was investigated by chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetry. The prepared CuNps-Co(OH) 2 Nfs/Ni f electrode shows not only an extremely high sensitivity of 42.7 mA mM −1 cm −2 in the concentration range from 1 to 250 μM for glucose detection but also an obvious current response to glucose at a level of 1 μM with a low detection limit of 73 nM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the glucose sensor based on CuNps-Co(OH) 2 Nfs/Ni f also exhibits high recovery ratio toward real sample analysis. This work indicates that the fast electron transfer, large surface area, and highly effective active sites based on the hierarchical structure of ultra-thin and open-interlaced Co(OH) 2 Nfs interspersed by CuNps contribute to the excellent performance of CuNps-Co(OH) 2 Nfs/Ni f electrodes. The proposed one-step preparation of hierarchical nanostructure of CuNps and Co(OH) 2 Nfs provides a promising and efficient strategy in the development of outstanding non-enzymatic glucose biosensors.

The objective of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of chlorogenic acid methyl ester (CME) and the molecular mechanism involved, through using non-infectious inflammation and infectious inflammation animal models as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cell models. Our results demonstrated that CME markedly inhibited ear swelling, paw swelling and granuloma swelling, and decreased intraperitoneal capillary permeability in non-infectious inflammation. Moreover, CME significantly alleviated the pathological damage of the lung tissue, reduced the levels of PGE2 and IL-1β in the serum and the protein expression levels of related-inflammatory factors in the lung tissue of LPS-induced mice with acute lung injury (ALI). In addition, CME affected the RAW264.7 cell cycle and inhibited the protein expressions of COX-2 and NLRP3 and prevented the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 in RAW264.7 cells treated with LPS. These observations not only validated the anti-inflammatory effects of CME, but also revealed the underlying molecular basis, which involves the down-regulation of the expression of inflammatory factors and blockade of the COX-2/NLRP3/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Background/aims Ginsenoside Rg1 is regarded as the primary bioactive ingredient in Panax notoginseng that has been well recognized for its protective effects against ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. However, the mechanisms still remain elusive. Our study aims to investigate the effects of Rg1 against lung injury induced by hind-limb IR in rats. Methods Twenty-four Sprague Dawley rats were randomly submitted to sham operation (SM group), hind-limb IR (IR group), hind-limb IR + Rg1 (Rg1 group), and hind-limb IR + Pro-DTC group (PD group). All the rats except those in SM group were subjected to 3 h of ischemia followed by 6 h of reperfusion , and extra intravenous Rg1 and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (Pro-DTC), a selective inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), was administered intravenously before ischemia in the Rg1 and PD group, respectively. The activities of myeloperoxidase (MPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), as well as protein expressions of NF-κB p65 and cyclooxygenases-2 (COX-2) in lung tissue, and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-ProstaglandinF 1α (6-keto-PGF 1α ) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were detected. Morphological changes, index of quantitative assessment of histologic lung injury (IQA), apoptosis index (AI) and lung Wet/Dry ratio were also evaluated. Results The levels of Wet/Dry ratio, IQA, AI, activities of MPO and 6-keto-PGF 1α /TXB 2 ratio were increased, and NF-κB p65 and COX-2 protein expression were upregulated, while SOD and CAT levels were decreased in lung tissue in IR group as compared with SM group ( p < 0.05), all the alterations could be significantly reversed by Rg1 or Pro-DTC pretreatment ( p < 0.05). And Rg1 and Pro-DTC also significantly attenuated the pulmonary histological abnormalities induced by IR. Conclusion Ginsenoside Rg1 potentially attenuated lung injury induced by hind-limb IR by regulating NF-κB/COX-2 signaling pathway .

Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 is a potent glucose-dependent insulinotropic gut hormone released from intestinal L cells. The aim of this study was to investigate isoquercitrin as an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and determine whether it affects GLP-1 release in normal mice and NCI-H716 cells. In vitro, we used chromogenic substrate method detection methods to measure DPP-IV. We found that isoquercitrin was a competitive inhibitor, with IC50 and Ki values of 96.8 and 236 μM, respectively. Isoquercitrin and sitagliptin also stimulated GLP-1 release in NCI-H716 cells. In vivo, a type 2 diabetic mouse model was established, and oral treatment with different concentration of isoquercitrin and sitagliptin for 8 weeks significantly decreased the fasting blood glucose level. The weight and the levels of serum GLP-1 and insulin of the mice in the isoquercitrin group were higher than those in the model group (P < 0.001). An oral glucose tolerance test showed that the isoquercitrin significantly inhibited postprandial blood glucose changes in a dose-dependent manner. These findings demonstrated the hypoglycemic effects of isoquercitrin and indicated that isoquercitrin improved insulin sensitivity by targeting DPP-IV.

Cellulose was premodified by short-chain fatty acid anhydrides, such as acetic anhydride (CA), propionic anhydride (CP), and butyric anhydride (CB), followed by grafting of polyoxyethylene (2) hexadecyl ether (E2C16) using toluene-2,4-diisocyanate as a coupling agent. The feeding molar ratio of E2C16and the anhydroglucose unit (AGU) was fixed at 4:1, and then a series of CA-g-E2C16, CP-g-E2C16, and CB-g-E2C16copolymers were successfully prepared. The structures and properties of the copolymers were characterized using FTIR (fourier transform infrared spectra),1H-NMR (Proton nuclear magnetic resonance), DSC (Differential scanning calorimeter), POM (polarized light microscopy), TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) and WAXD (wide-angle X-ray diffraction). It was shown that with the anhydride/AGU ratio increasing, the degree of substitution (DS) value of E2C16showed a trend of up first and then down. With the carbon chain length increasing, the DS value of E2C16continuously increases. The phase transition temperature and thermal enthalpy of the copolymers increased with an increasing DS value of E2C16. When the ratio of CB/AGU was 1.5:1, the DS of E2C16was up to the maximum value of 1.02, and the corresponding melting enthalpy and crystallization enthalpy were 32 J/g and 30 J/g, respectively. The copolymers showed solid–solid phase change behavior. The heat resistant temperature of cellulose-based solid–solid phase change materials was always higher than 270 °C. After the grafting reaction, the crystallinity of E2C16decreased, while the crystal type was still hexagonal.Keywords:cellulose;fatty acid anhydride;polyoxyethylene (2) hexadecyl ether;solid–solid phase change

Latent thermal energy storage using phase change material (PCM) is an effective way to store and transport energy. In this work, expanded graphite was modified using octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether to generate modified expanded graphite (MEG), and then a novel shape-stabilized Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O/MEG composite PCM was synthesized by incorporating Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O into MEG matrix. Mass fractions of Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O in composite PCM were calculated from 74% to 93%. The effects of MEG on properties of PCM were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal constant analyzer. The results indicated that MEG had the desired compatibility with Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O. The phase separation of Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O was effectively inhibited by the MEG matrix and the supercooling temperature decreased from 13 °C for Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O to 2.4 °C for composite PCM with a MEG matrix density of 200 g/L. At the same matrix density, the thermal conductivity of composite PCM reached 3.58 W/(m K), 1.84 times higher than that of Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O. The latent heat was approximately equal to the product of the latent heat of Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O and its mass fraction. Moreover, the enthalpy loss of the composite PCM was negligible after 400 cycles, showing good thermal reliability.

Geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) are two common odor compounds in drinking water . In this paper, the performance of UV/chlorine was compared with that of chlorine and UV to degrade GSM (100 ng L −1 ) and 2-MIB (100 ng L −1 ) in water. UV/chlorine was further exploited, and a steady-state kinetic model was used to conduct a detailed study on efficiency, rate, reactive species and pathway. The results showed that UV/chlorine greatly could improve the removal ratio to 90% within 5 min, from approximately 20% with only UV or dark chlorine in 60 min. The removal ratio and rate depended on UV light intensity , free chlorine dosage, reaction time and water quality parameters (e.g. pH, concentrations of HCO 3 − and Cl − ). Among these factors, the first two obviously could accelerate the rate and increase the ratio. The degradation was also significantly improved in an acidic condition, while alkaline conditions and HCO 3 − had inhibitory effects, and Cl − created no difference. Contributions of OH and Cl to the degradation of 2-MIB and GSM were further revealed, and OH was found to be the most important reactive species. In the UV/chlorine process, 6 degradation byproducts of 2-MIB, including 1 alcohol, 2 ketones, and 3 olefins , were identified, and 14 degradation byproducts of GSM, including 6 ketones, 1 aldehyde, 2 alcohols, 3 naphthenes , and 2 olefins, were found by using solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The possible degradation pathways of GSM and 2-MIB in UV/chlorine thus were proposed.

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is a “living”/controlled radical polymerization, which is also used for surface grafting of various materials including textiles. However, the commonly used metal complex catalyst, CuBr, is mildly toxic and results in unwanted color for textiles. In order to replace the transition metal catalyst of surface-initiated ATRP, the possibility of HRP biocatalyst was investigated in this work. 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) was grafted onto the surface of silk fabric using the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) biocatalyzed ATRP method, which is used to improve the crease resistance of silk fabric. The structure of grafted silk fabric was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetic analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that HPMA was successfully grafted onto silk fabric. Compared with the control silk sample, the wrinkle recovery property of grafted silk fabric was greatly improved, especially the wet crease recovery property. However, the whiteness, breaking strength, and moisture regain of grafted silk fabric decreased somewhat. The present work provides a novel, biocatalyzed, environmentally friendly ATRP method to obtain functional silk fabric, which is favorable for clothing application and has potential for medical materials.Keywords:horseradish peroxidase;atom transfer radical polymerization;bio-catalysis;silk
