We successfully prepared a two-dimensional surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS) substrate for the trace detection of Interleukin-6(IL-6) in plasma. Glycoproteins in serum were captured by a two-dimensional silver plate modified with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MPBA). And then, the [email protected] core-shell nanoprobes modified with IL-6 antibody accurately recognized IL-6 glycoprotein. The [email protected] NPs were embedded with Prussian Blue (PB) molecule, which only peaked at 2172 cm −1 in the biological silence zone. The calibration model of 4-MPBA and PB double signal molecules can avoid the interference of other glycoprotein macromolecules in the environment, thus realizing the quantitative detection of IL-6. The results showed that the higher the IL-6 content, the stronger the Raman signal. And the detection limit of IL-6 in serum can reach 5 pg/mL, the applicable range is 0.5–50000 pg/mL (R 2 = 0.9928). Therefore, this method can be used as a multifunctional SERS activity technology, which can be used to detect IL-6 ultra-sensitively and quantitatively.

Herein, we report the facile synthesis of uniform perovskite hydroxide CoSn(OH) 6 nanocubes and their first use as noble-metal-free, highly efficient and stable catalysts for the deoxygenative reduction of CO 2 to CO with visible light. The CoSn(OH) 6 sample is synthesized through a one-pot co-precipitation method and fully characterized by various techniques including XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM, EDX, EDX-mappings, XPS, DRS, and N 2 sorption measurements. The CoSn(OH) 6 solid is found by theoretical calculations to be capable of absorbing and activating CO 2 molecules on the (100) surface. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the CoSn(OH) 6 catalyst exhibits a high CO 2 reduction activity with visible light irradiation, affording a CO generation rate of 18.7 μmol h −1 . The stability and reusability of the CoSn(OH) 6 catalyst for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction are solidly confirmed. Results of in situ photoluminescence spectroscopy and photocurrent response characterizations indicate that the CoSn(OH) 6 catalyst can efficiently promote the separation and transfers of photoexcited charge carriers during photocatalysis, and eventually leading to obviously enhanced CO 2 photoreduction performance. Moreover, a possible mechanism for the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction is also proposed based on the results of activity evaluation and photo-/electro-chemical measurements.

The Ficus carica polysaccharide (FCPS) components of the common fig fruit have been demonstrated to exhibit antioxidant and immunity-enhancing activities. However, it is unclear whether it could prevent the ulcerative colitis development. Here, we reported that 5 week orally administered FCPS (150–300 mg per kg bw) significantly prevented DSS-induced colitis in C57BL/6J mice by improving the colon length and suppressing the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the gut. FCPS treatment protected the goblet cells, elevated the expression of tight junction protein claudin-1, and suppressed the formation of cytokines including TNF-α and IL-1β. FCPS supplementation significantly reformed the gut microbiome by enhancing the abundance of S24-7, Bacteroides, and Coprococus, and suppressing the abundance of Escherichia and Clostridium at the genus level. Consistently, the formation of beneficial microbial metabolites, short chain fatty acids, especially acetate and butyrate, were improved in FCPS-treated colitis mice. The correlation analysis indicated that the protective effects of FCPS on ulcerative colitis might be highly correlated with the microbiota composition changes and the formation of SCFAs. In conclusion, these results indicated that FCPS supplementation could be a promising nutritional strategy for reducing inflammatory bowel disease and the gut microbes play essential roles in providing these beneficial effects.

We report photochromic polyamide 6 (PA6) which was synthesized by hydrolyzed ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactam with spiropyran (SP) embedded in the polymer chains. It indicated that crystallinity degree of the resulting copolymers was decreased since only PA6 segments can crystallize with increasing content of SP modifier. Meanwhile, toughness of photochromic PA6 was decreased. The photochromic property analysis indicated that the sample with more flexibility and more content of SP was more sensitive to UV light at the beginning of irradiation than other samples and its color after being irradiated for 1 min tended to reddish. Investigation revealed that the UV-vis absorbance of SP-PA6-3 had negligible decay after 10 cycles, which indicated SP-modified PA6 possessed excellent photoresponse reversibility and fatigue resistance.Keywords:photochromic;polyamide 6;spiropyran;structure and properties

The design and preparation of magnetic cucurbit[6]uril hypercrosslinked
with polymers are described. The materials have a large specific surface, abundant
mesopores and cavities, and display superparamagnetism. They were applied to the
enrichment of ubiquitinated peptides from standard protein digests. Following
desorption with 0.15% TFA, the peptides were quantified by MALDI-TOF MS. The method
has a detection limit of 2 fmol·μL −1 and a mass
ratio selectivity of 1:5000 as shown for ubiquitin and bovine serum albumin. The
materials enable selective capture of ubiquitinated peptides from genuine samples
comprising of oyster mushroom and human serum. This demonstrates their potential for
the analysis of low-level ubiquitin in complex samples.

Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs, C 10–13 ) were listed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by the Stockholm Convention in 2017 and pose extensive exposure risks to humans. To our knowledge, there have been no studies reporting the immmunomodulatory effects of SCCPs until now. C 9 -CPs have also been shown to be present in the environment. In this study, adult male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 1, 10, or 100 mg/kg/d C 9–13 -CPs by gavage for 28 d. The results showed that compared to those of the controls, exposure to C 9–13 -CPs led to increased spleen weight, delimited germinal centers, enhanced energy metabolism, and elevated glutathione content, but no variation in the malonaldehyde level in the spleen was observed. Exposure to C 9–13 -CPs also increased the populations of splenic lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, NK cells, and the ratio of the CD3 + /CD19 + subsets and CD4 + /CD8 + subsets compared to those of the controls. RNA-seq revealed 424 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (fold change ≥ 1.5, FDR < 0.05) in the spleen between the control group and the 100 mg/kg/d C 9–13 -CPs-treated group. KEGG analysis demonstrated that folate biosynthesis, pathways in cancer and thyroid hormone signaling were the three most significantly enriched pathways, and despite not reaching statistical significance, some immune-related pathways were also enriched in the KEGG functional enrichment analysis, including the chemokine signaling pathway (FDR < 0.0584), the NF-κB signaling pathway (FDR < 0.0663), Th17 cell differentiation (FDR < 0.0839), and the Jak-STAT signaling pathway. Moreover, compared to those of the controls, exposure to C 9–13 -CPs enhanced the Concanavalin A (Con A)-stimulated cultured splenocyte proliferation, while the exposure showed no effect on the splenocyte proliferation that was stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Taken together, these results demonstrated that subacute exposure to C 9–13 -CPs could have immunomodulatory effects in mice. The present study helps to provide an understanding of the comprehensive health risks posed by C 9–13 -CPs.

A novel star-branched nylon 6 with hexafunctional cyclotriphosphazene core was synthesized using hexa(4-carboxylphenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene (HCPCP) with six carboxyl groups as multifunctional agent in the hydrolytic ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactam, and then used for the investigation of mechanical properties, crystallization and rheology behaviors. Star-branching structure and molecular weight have great effects on its properties. Compared with linear nylon 6, star-branched nylon 6 has lower relative viscosity and higher melt flow rate while its mechanical properties can be almost retained by the use of star-branching and an appropriate molecular weight. Research on crystallization behavior indicates that the degree of crystallinity (Xc) of star-branched nylon 6 decreases slightly, but its crystal structure still belongs to α form. The peak crystallization temperature (Tc) and crystallization rate (1/t1/2) of star-branched nylon 6 are significantly higher than that of linear nylon 6 because of heterogeneous nucleation induced by HCPCP core, which is beneficial for the use of rapid molding process. As the molecular weight increases, the Tc and 1/t1/2 of star-branched nylon 6 first increase and then decrease. Capillary rheometer measurement exhibits that the shear viscosity of star-branched nylon 6 decreases with decreasing molecular weight, and the shear viscosity of star-branched nylon 6 with an appropriate molecular weight shows a low value and little or no sensitivity to shear rate and temperature. Such rheology behavior allows for processing at low temperature and low pressure and reduces system cost.

Benzenesulfonic group containing polyamide-6 (PA6) were fabricated through melting polymerized using ε-caprolactam and different proportions of 5-sulphosalicylic acid (5SA). The physicochemical properties of SO 3 H containing PA6s (SPA6) were determined through FT-IR spectroscopy, TGA and DSC . The morphology of electrospinning fibers of SPA6s were investigated by FE-SEM. Fiber diameters increased with 5SA, and the polymer became un-electrospinnable as 5SA up to 5 wt%. Solution conductivity was a crucial factor for the spinnability of polyelectrolyte . Direction of electric field and material quality of collector could also influence the electrospinning of polyelectrolyte. Sulfonic groups preferred to distribute over the surface of fibers during electrospinnning process comparing to melting spinning, which could render fiber surface more hydrophilic.

The preparation of caprolactam (CPL) from biomass as raw material is a very hot topic of current concern. In this paper, a new way to synthesize CPL from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was proposed, and the catalytic reaction of cyclization of the intermediate 6-hydroxycaproamide (6-HCM) was studied to provide a basis for the synthesis of bio-based CPL. A bimetallic catalyst, Ru–Co/TiO 2 , was prepared using the impregnation method and characterized using XRD, XPS, H 2 -TPR, and TEM. The investigation delves into the impact of various parameters, including metal loading, choice of solvent, solvent ratio, catalyst dosage, and reaction time, on the yield of the final product. The findings demonstrate a significant synergistic effect between Ru and Co in the bimetallic Ru 5 Co 6 /TiO 2 catalyst, leading to improved catalytic performance. Under the optimized reaction conditions (250 °C, 1 MPa N 2 , 1,4-dioxane: NH 3 ·H 2 O = 2:1 as the solvent ratio), the conversion rate of 6-HCM reaches 99.0%, with CPL yield of 62.2%.

Aminoglycoside antibiotics exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, good efficacy, and stability. However, due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance, their use as broad-spectrum antibiotics is restricted. Bacteria producing the bifunctional enzyme, 6′-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase 2″-aminoglycoside phosphotransferase [AAC(6′)-APH(2″)], can modify aminoglycoside antibiotics, leading to the emergence of clinical drug resistance. A method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) is reported to monitor the modification of aminoglycoside antibiotics and to screen potential inhibitors of AAC(6′)-APH(2″) from marine natural products. Instead of using purified AAC(6′)-APH(2″), Escherichia coli cells harboring AAC(6′)-APH(2″) were employed. In vivo enzyme assays, conducted in the physiological environment, compensated for the disparity between in vitro responses and those in living cells. The inhibition zone method was used to verify the reliability of the UHPLC-MS results. From a library of 63 marine natural products, Mer-C-3 and Mer-c-8e pyridine alkaloids were shown to provide inhibitory activity against AAC(6′)-APH(2″) in living bacteria. The UHPLC-MS-based approach offers improved speed, convenience, and sensitivity compared with the traditional inhibition zone assay for the screening of enzyme inhibitors.

Mechanochemistry has been studied for some time, but research on the reactivity of charges exchanged by contact-electrification (CE) during mechanical stimulation remains scarce. Here, we demonstrate that electrons transferred during the CE between pristine dielectric powders and water can be utilized to directly catalyze reactions without the use of conventional catalysts. Specifically, frequent CE at Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) - water interface induces electron-exchanges, thus forming reactive oxygen species for the degradation of an aqueous methyl orange solution. Contact-electro-catalysis, by conjunction of CE, mechanochemistry and catalysis, has been proposed as a general mechanism, which has been demonstrated to be effective for various dielectric materials, such as Teflon, Nylon-6,6 and rubber. This original catalytic principle not only expands the range of catalytic materials, but also enables us to envisage catalytic processes through mechano-induced contact-electrification.
