Chronic diabetic wounds are an important healthcare challenge. High concentration glucose, high level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and long-term inflammation constitute the special wound environment of diabetic wounds. Tissue necrosis aggravates the formation of irregular wounds. All the above factors hinder the healing of chronic diabetic wounds. To solve these issues, a glucose and MMP-9 dual-response temperature-sensitive shape self-adaptive hydrogel (CBP/ [email protected] &INS) was designed and constructed with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan grafted with phenylboric acid (CS-BA) by encapsulating insulin (INS) and gelatin microspheres containing celecoxib ( [email protected] ). Temperature-sensitive self-adaptive CBP/ [email protected] &INS provides a new way to balance the fluid-like mobility (self-adapt to deep wounds quickly, approximately 37 °C) and solid-like elasticity (protect wounds against external forces, approximately 25 °C) of self-adaptive hydrogels, while simultaneously releasing insulin and celecoxib on-demand in the environment of high-level glucose and MMP-9. Moreover, CBP/ [email protected] &INS exhibits remodeling and self-healing properties, enhanced adhesion strength (39.65 ± 6.58 kPa), down-regulates MMP-9, and promotes cell proliferation, migration, and glucose consumption. In diabetic full-thickness skin defect models, CBP/ [email protected] &INS significantly alleviates inflammation and regulates the local high-level glucose and MMP-9 in the wounds, and promotes wound healing effectively through the synergistic effect of temperature-sensitive shape-adaptive character and the dual-responsive system.

9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) and DOPO derivatives had always been regarded as main candidates for improving the flame retardancy of epoxy resin (EP). In this paper, a novel reactive flame retardant DOPOMAH was synthesized from the reaction between DOPO and cis-butenedioic anhydride (MAH), thereafter acted as a co-curing agent for EP to remarkably improve the flame retardancy of matrix. The effects of DOPOMAH and DOPO on comprehensive performance of EP were systematically investigated and compared through dynamic mechanical analysis, mechanical performance testing, limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning (UL-94), and cone calorimetry test. These results indicated that the excellent dispersion of DOPOMAH in EP makes the EP modified by DOPOMAH has good mechanical properties. When the content of phosphorus is 2.0 wt%, compared with the EP modified by DOPO (ED), the LOI of the EP modified by DOPOMAH (EDM) increased from 30.6% to 32.8%, and the UL-94 was also improved from no rating to V-0. Meanwhile, the peak heat release rate of EDM was only 51% of that of pure EP, which was slightly less than that of ED. Finally, a flame-retardant mechanism comparison between DOPOMAH and DOPO was discussed in detail to reveal the reasons why the flame reatardant effect of DOPOMAH was better than that of DOPO.

Improving the hole carrier mobility of organic hole-transporting materials is critical for the development of advanced quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). Here, a simple method is reported for enhancing the hole-charge mobility in poly(9-vinylcarbazole), PVK. Doping of the PVK using the molecular Lewis acid tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane as a dopant is shown to have a powerful effect on the hole-charge mobility, and the performance of the QLEDs. By adjusting the amount of dopant, the p-type Hall mobility can be increased up to 3.3-fold, and thereby, the external quantum efficiency and current efficiency of QLEDs are improved by 132% and 249%, respectively.

This work describes a method for the determination of 1-hydroxypyrene (OH-Py) via aggregation-induced quenching of the emission of protamine-coated gold nanoclusters using 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (OH-Phe) as a sensitizer to boost the emission efficiency of nanoprobe. Under optimum conditions, the drop in fluorescence intensity at excitation/emission wavelengths of 300/596 nm is proportional to the concentrations of OH-Py in the range from 1.0 to 65 nM. The relative standard deviations are 4.2, 2.4 and 1.9% (for n = 11) at concentration levels of 8.0, 32 and 48 nM of OH-Py, respectively. The detection limit is 0.3 nM which is much lower than that of some previously reported methods. The recoveries from urine samples spiked with OH-Py ranged between 94.4 and 98.8%.
1-Hydroxypyrene (OH-Py) can trigger the aggregation of protamine-gold nanoclusters (PRT-AuNCs), resulting in the emission quenching of PRT-AuNCs. 9-Hydroxyphenanthrene (OH-Phe) can boost the emission efficiency of nanoprobe. Thereby, a highly sensitive assay of OH-Py was established.

It is important to study the response of plant pathogens to the antibiosis traits of biocontrol microbes to design the efficient biocontrol strategies. In this study, we evaluated the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by a biocontrol strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SQR-9 on the growth and virulence traits of tomato wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum (RS). The VOCs of SQR-9 significantly inhibited the growth of RS on agar medium and in soil. In addition, the VOCs significantly inhibited the motility traits, production of antioxidant enzymes and exopolysaccharides, biofilm formation and tomato root colonization by RS. The strain SQR-9 produced 22 VOCs, but only nine VOCs showed 1–11% antibacterial activity against RS in their corresponding amounts; however, the consortium of all VOCs showed 70% growth inhibition of RS. The proteomics analysis showed that the VOCs of SQR-9 downregulated RS proteins related to the antioxidant activity, virulence, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, protein folding and translation, while the proteins involved in the ABC transporter system, amino acid synthesis, detoxification of aldehydes and ketones, methylation, protein translation and folding, and energy transfer were upregulated. This study describes the significance and effectiveness of VOCs produced by a biocontrol strain against tomato wilt pathogen.

Metastasis impedes the successful chemotherapy for breast cancer. In this study, an Akt inhibitor (quercetin, Qu) was co-delivered with a chemotherapeutic agent (docetaxel, DTX) by using hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified nanoparticles (NPs) as vectors to block metastasis. Dual DTX/Qu-loaded HA/polylactic-co-glycolic acid–polyethyleneimine NPs (PP-HA/NPs) were prepared through a modified emulsion solvent evaporation technique. The particle size of PP-HA/NPs with narrow polydispersity was 209.8 ± 10.8 nm. Wound healing assay revealed that Qu co-delivery and HA modification elicited synergistic inhibitory effects on cell motility. The downregulation of p-Akt and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression contributed to the significant inhibition of cell migration and invasion with inhibition rates of 95.6% and 99.3%, respectively. Further studies indicated that PP-HA/NPs could be efficiently uptaken by 4T1 breast cancer cells and could further induce cytotoxicity, decrease colony formation and promote cell apoptosis. Biodistribution assay demonstrated PP-HA/NPs also enhanced drug accumulation in the tumor and lungs and predicted that PP-HA/NPs could be employed as an effective therapy for primary tumor and pulmonary metastasis . Therefore, PP-HA/NPs could be a promising delivery system to treat metastatic breast cancer effectively.

Cytochrome c (cyt c) and caspase-9 were critical biomarkers in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. A novel electrochemical immunosensor was developed for in situ analysis of cyt c and caspase-9 in the cytosol. Gold nanoparticle–polydopamine (AuNP/PDA) composites were used to fabricate the interface of the sensor. The anti-cyt c or anti-caspase-9 functionalized-immunosensor provided a biomimetic interface for immunosensing of cyt c or caspase-9 in Hela cells during apoptosis. The changes in the expression level of cyt c and caspase-9 in the cytosol upon curcumin-induced apoptosis were detected by using the proposed method, and also the influence of different concentrations and incubation times of curcumin-induced Hela cells was investigated. This method achieved a linear range (0.1–100 μM) for standard cyt c and caspase-9, with a detection limit of 0.03 ± 0.01 μM for standard cyt c and 0.08 ± 0.02 μM for standard caspase-9. Moreover, this method was used to detect cells which could detect as low as 100 cells which expressed cyt c and caspase-9, and also the results are in good agreement with standard flow cytometry analysis. The developed electrochemical immunosensor offered a simple and rapid approach for sensitive evaluation of apoptosis markers with considerable specificity and reproducibility, and also the developed strategy could be of great importance in clinical diagnosis and therapeutic research.

The ligand of 2,9-Diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (DAPhen), developed for group actinide separation in the past decade, showed excellent extraction and separation performance for various actinides from trivalent lanthanides. However, its radiolysis mechanism remains unclear, restricting its application. Mechanism for the radiolysis of three different DAPhen in 1-octanol was studied by pulse radiolysis, of which the results demonstrated that reductive degradation was the main route of their radiolysis in 1-octanol. Solvated electrons (e sol − ), and α-hydroxyoctyl radicals have been recognized as the most important transient species responsible for DAPhen radiolysis. Rate constants for the reactions of e sol − with N,N′ -diethyl- N,N′ -ditethyl-2,9-diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (Et–Et-DAPhen, EED), N,N′ -dioctyl- N,N′ -ditoctlyl-2,9-diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (Oct-Oct-DAPhen, OOD), and N,N′ -diethyl- N,N′ -ditolyl-2,9-diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (Et-Tol-DAPhen, ETD) were estimated to be 1.9 × 10 9 , 2.3 × 10 9 , and 1.5 × 10 9 L mol −1 s −1 , respectively. Those of α-hydroxyoctyl radicals with EED, OOD, and ETD were approximately 1.1 × 10 8 , 2.1 × 10 8 , and 2.7 × 10 8 L mol −1 s −1 , respectively. The studied DAPhen exhibited high reactivity with e sol − , and α-hydroxyoctyl radicals in 1-octanol, resulting in their vulnerability under irradiation. A versatile strategy was accordingly proposed to enhance their radiation stability based on the insights into transient processes of DAPhen radiolysis. If the HNO 3 -equilibrated organic phase was saturated with nitrous oxide (N 2 O), the reductive species responsible for DAPhen degradation would be scavenged. As a consequence, the radiation-resistance of DAPhen was significantly improved because the key elementary reaction of radiolysis was inhibited by the synergetic effect of N 2 O and HNO 3 .

Comprehensive Summary Aromatic ketones, such as 9-fluorenone (9-FO), are known for their high intersystem crossing quantum yields ( Φ ISC ≈ 1), rendering them highly valuable for photochemical reactions and dye-sensitized solar cells. However, their use as photosensitizers in biological contexts has been hindered by their low extinction coefficients, high excitation energies, and weak fluorescence. To address these limitations, we conjugated 9-FO with a fused-ring electron donor, resulting in an acceptor-donor-acceptor derivative IDT-9F. This strategy has successfully redshifted the absorption peak of 9-FO (380 nm) into the visible light range (498 nm) and significantly enhanced its light absorption capability (~310-fold) and fluorescence quantum yield (~100-fold). Furthermore, IDT-9F was encapsulated within pH-responsive nanoparticles using an acid-induced charge-reversal polymer as the amphiphilic matrix, and enabled fluorescence imaging-guided photodynamic inactivation of Gram-positive bacteria in acidic environment with a remarkable bacterial inhibition rate exceeding 99.9%.

Diabetic wound healing remains challenging due to persistent hyperglycemia-driven reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction. To address this, we engineered a photocurable hydrogel ( [email protected] ) composed of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and bovine serum albumin methacryloyl (BSAMA) to encapsulate aucubin (Auc). Systematic evaluation of GelMA/BSAMA ratios identified the 1:1 formulation as optimal, exhibiting superior mechanical strength. The binding ability of BSAMA to Auc could realize sustained release. Furthermore, GelMA's MMP-9-responsive domains enabled accelerated Auc release in inflammatory microenvironments. The design integrates BSAMA's drug-binding capacity with GelMA's MMP-9 responsiveness to achieve spatiotemporal drug release. In vitro studies demonstrated that the hydrogel effectively scavenges ROS and restores mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby disrupting the ROS storm cycle. This antioxidative effect further suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6) and the overexpression of MMP-9. In a type 2 diabetic rat model, the hydrogel accelerated full-thickness wound closure, with histological analysis revealing dense collagen deposition and enhanced angiogenesis. By synergistically integrating GelMA's MMP-9-triggered drug release with BSAMA's Auc-binding capacity, the hydrogel establishes a multifunctional platform that couples microenvironment-responsive drug delivery with anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic functions, offering a promising solution for diabetic wound management.

In this work, a fluorescent small molecule based on 9,10-distyryl anthracene (DSA-2OH) with AIE properties was prepared. DSA-2OH can be oxidized by hypochlorite (ClO − ) to oxidized DSA (ODSA), which can be re-reduced to DSA-2OH by reducing agents. This oxidation–reduction process is accompanied by changes in fluorescence intensity and absorption wavelength. Based on this principle, a colorimetric/fluorometric dual-mode assay for the determination of ClO − and the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) are realized. In contrast to the colorimetric method, the fluorometric method has better detection effect. The fluorometric detection method can detect ClO − and ascorbic acid (AA) in a three-order-of-magnitude concentration range (0.1–20 μM and 0.2–30 μM). The detection limits (LOD) of fluorometric methods for ClO − and AA are 44 nM and 55 nM, respectively. The two methods can mutually validate each other to improve detection accuracy. The proposed assay can detect TAC in drinks such as orange juice, kiwi juice and drinking water with recoveries ranging from 95 % to 105 %, which can help us to make healthier and more sensible dietary choices.

Diabetic wounds are a difficult medical challenge. Excessive secretion of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in diabetic wounds further degrades the extracellular matrix (ECM) and growth factors and causes severe vascular damage, which seriously hinders diabetic wound healing. To solve these issues, a double-network porous hydrogel composed of poly (methyl methacrylate-co-acrylamide) (p(MMA-co-AM)) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was constructed by the high internal phase emulsions (HIPE) technique for the delivery of potassium sucrose octasulfate (PSO), a drug that can inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), increase angiogenesis, and improve microcirculation. The hydrogel possessed a typical polyHIPE hierarchical microstructure with interconnected porous morphologies, high porosity, high specific surface area, excellent mechanical properties, and suitable swelling properties. Meanwhile, the p(MMA-co-AM)/PVA@PSO hydrogel showed high drug-loading performance and effective PSO release. In addition, both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that the p(MMA-co-AM)/PVA@PSO hydrogel had good biocompatibility and significantly accelerated diabetic wound healing by inhibiting excessive MMP-9 in diabetic wounds, increasing growth factor secretion, improving vascularization, increasing collagen deposition, and promoting re-epithelialization. Therefore, this study provided a reliable therapeutic strategy for diabetic wound healing, some theoretical basis, and new insights for the rational design and preparation of wound hydrogel dressings with high porosity, high drug-loading performance, and excellent mechanical properties.
