Single-host white light-emitting phosphors have been one of the research hotspots in the field of white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) in recent years. Herein, white light emission is realized in Sr 8 ZnSc(PO 4 ) 7 :Eu 2+ phosphor by using the defect engineering strategy, i.e. the heterovalent substitution of Sc 3+ with Hf 4+ . Based on the charge compensation mechanism of the substitution, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis confirms a positive correlation between cation vacancy concentration and dopant content. Photoluminescence spectra indicates that there are two different emissions at 408 and 520 nm in the phosphor. Under 335 nm excitation, the SZSP:0.02Eu 2+ ,0.03Hf 4+ exhibits cold white light emission with CIE coordinates (0.2992, 0.3214) and an enhanced color rendering index (Ra = 80.02), showing superior performance compared to commercial YAG:Ce 3+ phosphor. This work not only elucidates the critical role of Hf 4+ dopants in defect engineering but also establishes a novel material for developing high-efficiency phosphors with tunable color temperature for WLED applications.

This study investigates the adsorption performance of humic acid-functionalized lignin-based microspheres (HA@LGMS) in eliminating Acid Orange 7 (AO7) and tetracycline (TC) contaminants from wastewater. Lignin, a residual material from pulp manufacturing processes, was utilized to synthesize lignin-based microspheres (LGMS) via reversed-phase suspension polymerization. Subsequently, humic acid was incorporated into LGMS to enhance their adsorption capacity. Comprehensive material characterization involving SEM, FTIR, XPS, etc. revealed the structural features and surface chemistry of the microspheres. Systematic batch adsorption studies examined the adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics of AO7 and TC onto HA@LGMS. Analysis demonstrated chemisorption-driven mechanisms supplemented by boundary layer diffusion and pore penetration phenomena. The adsorption processes were spontaneous and endothermic, with higher temperatures favoring adsorption. HA@LGMS exhibited high adsorption capacities for AO7 (434.81 mg/g) and TC (93.98 mg/g), outperforming many existing adsorbents. The adsorbent also demonstrated excellent reusability and stability in multiple adsorption-desorption cycles. Moreover, HA@LGMS effectively removed AO7 and TC from real water samples, highlighting its potential for practical wastewater treatment applications. This study provides a sustainable and cost-effective solution for the removal of dyes and antibiotics from wastewater using lignin-based materials.

This study addresses the issues of poor stability and difficulty in recovery of free horseradish peroxidase (HRP) by developing a multi-level composite immobilized carrier that combines high loading capacity with long-term stability. The SiO2@MnO2@MAF-7 core–shell structured carrier was prepared via a solvothermal self-assembly method. Three immobilization strategies—adsorption, covalent cross-linking, and encapsulation—were systematically compared for their immobilization efficacy on HRP. The material structure was analyzed using techniques such as specific surface area analysis (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to characterize the material structure. Enzyme kinetic parameter determination experiments were conducted to systematically evaluate the performance advantages of the immobilized enzyme. BET analysis showed that SiO2@MnO2@MAF-7 had a specific surface area of 251.99 m2/g and a mesoporous area of 12.47 nm, and its HRP loading was 50.37 U/mg (immobilization efficiency 85.03%). Compared with free HRP, the Km value of the immobilized enzyme was decreased by 42%, the activity retention rate was increased by 35–50% at 80 °C and pH 4–9, and the activity was maintained by 65% after five repeated uses. In this study, MAF-7 was combined with MnO2/SiO2for HRP immobilization for the first time, and the triple effect of rigid support-catalytic synergy-confined protection synergistically improved the stability of the enzyme, providing a new strategy for the industrial application of oxidoreductases.

Apigenin-7-O-glucoside (AG), a flavonoid glycoside, has been shown in vitro anti-inflammatory activities. To date, the mechanism of AG against colitis has not been reported. In this study, we investigated the role of AG in relieving colitis and explored its potential mechanisms in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice. The results indicated oral administration of AG increased colon length and improved colonic histopathology. Besides, it dramatically restored the colonic expression of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators, as well as enhanced the expression of intestinal barrier markers such as ZO-1, occludin, claudin-1, and claudin-3. The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) including ERK, JNK, and p38 were significantly inhibited. Moreover, 16S rDNA sequencing revealed that AG improved the abundance of Akkermansia , and reduced that of Bacteroides and Desulfovibrio . Taken together, AG supplementation relieved DSS-induced colitis by protecting the intestinal barrier, inhibiting the MAPK pathway, and modulating gut microbiota, which indicated that AG may be a good candidate therapeutic compound for sustaining gut health to lower the risk of colitis.

Background Combined chemotherapy is often affected by the different physicochemical properties of chemotherapeutic drugs, which should be improved by the reasonable design of co-loaded preparations.Purpose A kind of simple but practical graphene oxide (GO) wrapped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) modified with hyaluronic acid (MSN@GO-HA) were developed for the co-delivery of cinnamaldehyde (CA) and doxorubicin (DOX), in order to enhance their combined treatment on tumor cells and reduce their application defects.Methods The MSNCA@GODOX-HA was constructed by MSNCA (loading CA via physical diffusion) and GODOX-HA (modified with HA and loading DOX via π–π stacking) through the electrostatic adsorption, followed by the physicochemical characterization, serum stability and in vitro release study. Cytotoxicity on different cells was detected, followed by the tumor cell uptake tests. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) changes, mitochondrial functions and activities of caspase-3/-9 in MCF-7 cells were also evaluated, respectively.Results The MSNCA@GODOX-HA nanoparticles kept stable in FBS solution and achieved pH-responsive release behavior, which was beneficial to increase the accumulation of CA and DOX in tumor cells to enhance the treatment. MSNCA@GODOX-HA exerted higher cytotoxicity to MCF-7 human breast cancer cells than H9c2 cardiac myocyte cells, which were not only attributed to the active targeting to tumor cells by HA, but also related with the activation of intrinsic apoptotic pathway in MCF-7 cells induced by CA, which was mediated by the specific ROS signal amplification and the interference with mitochondrial function. Moreover, the efficacy of DOX was also enhanced by the above process.Conclusion The establishment of the MSNCA@GODOX-HA nanoparticles played a role in promoting strengths and restricting shortcomings of CA and DOX, thereby exerting their function and achieving efficient treatment against cancer.

This study is designed to compare drug encapsulation by cucurbit[7]uril and β-cyclodextrin, using fluorofenidone as a model drug. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was employed to successfully determine the crystal structures of fluorofenidone·H+@cucurbit[7]uril Form, fluorofenidone@cucurbit[7]uril Form, and fluorofenidone@β-cyclodextrin Form. Keto–enol tautomerization of fluorofenidone mediated by cucurbit[7]uril in acid solution is confirmed by crystal structures, pH titration, and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. However, β-cyclodextrin cannot cause the keto–enol tautomerization of fluorofenidone under similar conditions. The phase solubility study demonstrates that cucurbit[7]uril has a much higher solubilization capacity for fluorofenidone than β-cyclodextrin in 0.1 M HCl since the Kc values of fluorofenidone with cucurbit[7]uril and β-cyclodextrin were 1223.97 ± 452.68 and 78.49 ± 10.56 M–1, respectively. Excellent solubility can be attributed to the keto–enol tautomerization of fluorofenidone under the conditions of cucurbit[7]uril in acid solution. The enol form of fluorofenidone is encapsulated by cucurbit[7]uril by hydrogen bonding interaction and hydrophobic interaction to increase binding affinity. Rat pharmacokinetic studies demonstrate that the area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time 0 to 7 h value of fluorofenidone@cucurbit[7]uril complex is 1.70-fold greater than that of free fluorofenidone, and the mean residence time from time 0 to 7 h is slightly prolonged from 1.29 to 1.76 h (P < 0.01) after oral administration. However, no significant difference is found between fluorofenidone and fluorofenidone@β-cyclodextrin complex. This work indicates that the induction of keto–enol tautomerization of drugs using macrocyclic molecules has the potential to be an effective method to improve their solubility and bioavailability, providing valuable insights for the application of macrocyclic molecules in the biomedical field.

Recently, growing and conclusive evidences showed the particularly close ties between the vitamin D (VD) and breast cancer (BC). However, few researches were focused on the delivery system against breast cancer which based on cholecalciferol (VD 3 ). Herein, we designed a series of self-assembled micelles. The conjugate (HA-VD) of VD 3 with hyaluronic acid (HA) actively targeting breast cancer can efficiently delivery doxorubicin (DOX). The HA-VD conjugate was successfully synthesized, which was confirmed using 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FITR). Preliminary studies of its physical and chemical properties indicated that VD 3 was successfully grafted with the HA (HAVD). When the molar ratio was 1:2 and the degree of substitution (DS) was 18.6%, the minimum critical micelle concentration (CMC) value was 0.0137 mg/mL. For DOX-loaded HAVD micelles (DOX/HAVD), the drug loading (DL) was 6.2% and drug encapsulation efficiency (EE) was 79.5%. The DOX/HAVD micelles remain stable in serum for 48 h. The in vitro release rate of DOX decreased after encapsulating compared with that without HAVD encapsulation. The decrease with IC 50 of DOX/HAVD micelle was significantly stronger than that of free DOX ( p < 0.05) and blank micelles ( p < 0.01). At 50% cell inhibition rate, VD 3 and DOX acted synergistically on BC cells. Hence, the HAVD micelles can significantly improve the therapeutic effect of DOX against BC cells. In a word, the DOX/HAVD micelles have great potential in treating breast cancer.

An electrochemical luminescence (ECL) sensor for the detection of glucose was constructed by covering CdTe nanomaterials, ZIF-7 and glucose oxidase (GOD) on the electrode surface, respectively. CdTe and ZIF-7, as co-reaction promoters, could amplify ECL signals through synergy effect. The results demonstrated that ECL intensity increased when the concentration of glucose increased. Based on the change of ECL intensity, a method for the determination of glucose was established. Possible response mechanisms were also studied. The parameters of measurement conditions were optimized. The linear range of glucose was 2.0 × 10 −10 ∼ 2.0 × 10 −5 mol L −1 and the detection limit was 6.7 × 10 −11 mol L −1 under the optimal conditions. The constructed sensor had high sensitivity and selectivity. The results were satisfactory for the determination of glucose in real human serum samples.

Resazurin (Alamar Blue, RZ) is a widely utilized fluorescent probe for biological sensing, whose fluorescent intensity can be modulated by changing its redox states; thereby, electrochemical reactivity of RZ is of significance when designing a sensing assay. Herein, we report novel two-way electrochemical reactivity modulation of RZ using host-guest complexation with rigid molecular containers cucurbit[ n ]uril (CB n , n = 7, 8). The complexation between CB n and RZ is confirmed by 1 H NMR measurements and supported by computational simulation, and the binding constants are determined via UV-vis titration. Notably, the voltametric data highlights that the redox reactivity of RZ can be activated or deactivated upon encapsulation by CB8 or CB7, respectively. This two-way reactivity modulation is hypothesized to be mediated by the difference in cavity volume that favors or hinders the approach of water molecules to the encapsulated reaction center during the reduction process. Despite the similar cavity size to CB, molecular containers such as cyclodextrins (CDs) exhibit considerably weaker modulation effects. Our approach can potentially be applied to other redox processes that involve proton transfer, and open new possibilities in supramolecular electrochemistry.

Due to the low bioavailability and severe toxic side effects caused by the lack of selectivity of traditional chemotherapy drugs, the targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs has become the key to tumor treatment. The activity and transmembrane potential of mitochondria in cancer cells were significantly higher than that of normal cells, making them a potential target for chemotherapeutic drug delivery. In this study, triphenylphosphine (TPP) based mitochondria targeting polylactic acid (PLLA) nanoparticles (TPP-PLLA NPs) were synthesized to improve the delivery efficiency of anticancer drugs. The carrier material was characterized by 1H NMR and FT-IR and 7-hydroxyl coumarin (7-HC) was successfully loaded into TPP-PLLA to form 7-HC/TPP-PLLA NPs. Further studies showed that TPP-PLLA NPs were primarily accumulated in the mitochondrial and 7-HC/TPP-PLLA NPs had higher antitumor activity. Taken together, our results indicated that TPP-PLLA NPs could be a promising mitochondria-targeted drug delivery system for cancer therapy.

Superhydrophobic materials for efficient separation of stabilized oil/water emulsions are in an urgent need to deal with an enormous amount of oily wastewater worldwide. The stainless steel mesh supported zeolitic imidazolate framework-7 (ZIF-7-coated SSM) was fabricated by way of secondary hydrothermal growth, it was further modified by using coordinated polysiloxane elastomer (CPE). Based on characterization by using SEM, XRD, FT-IR and contact angle measurements, the as-synthesized CPE-ZIF-7-coated SSM possessed a rough surface structure of microscale ravines with both superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity. The stabilities of CPE-ZIF-7-coated SSM were investigated with respect to various treatments including high temperature, corrosion and ultrasonication. The self-healing ability and working mechanism of CPE-ZIF-7-coated SSM were explored by responding to continuous abrasion and O 2 plasma etching. The CPE-ZIF-7-coated SSM exhibited high water-in-oil emulsion separation efficiencies of over 99.9% with a remarkably fast self-healing ability upon damage in less than 10 min without any externally imposed input of matter/energy. The superhydrophobic CPE-ZIF-7-coated SSM with fast self-healing ability would be a promising alternative material for practical applications in separation of emulsive oil/water mixtures.
