Enhancing the surface and structural stability has been a research focus of nickel-rich layered cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This work introduced a dual-functional modification strategy. LZMP is coated on the LiNi0.90Co0.05Mn0.05O2 (NCM90) particle surface to protect the cathode particles from erosion by air and acidic electrolyte, suppressing side reactions between the cathode and H2O, CO2, and HF, and hence enhances the stability of the cathode–electrolyte interphase film. Meanwhile, NCM90 is doped with Zr4+ and Mg2+, which substitute for Ni3+ in the lattice transition metal layer and Li+ in the lithium layer, respectively. Zr4+ forms a stronger Zr–O bond, while Mg2+ performs as a pillar ion, suppressing variations of the lattice parameters and maintaining the layered structure during cycling. The enhanced surface and bulk structural stabilities improve the cycling and rate performances of the cathode material. At 25 °C, 1C, and 2.7–4.3 V, the initial discharge specific capacity and the capacity retention after 200 cycles of 1%LZMP–NCM90 were 180.9 mAh g–1 and 86.0%, respectively, exceeding those of NCM90 (172.7 mAh g–1 and 76.4%). In summary, the LZMP modification synergistically alleviates the surface and bulk structure deterioration, thus preserving the electrochemical performance and improving the structural and cycling stability of NCM90.

β-Glucosidase (BG) hydrolyzes cellobiose into glucose, and is a vital step in converting ionic liquids (ILs)-pretreated biomass to sustainable biofuels. The inactivation mechanism of BG from Paenibacillus sp. LLZ1 induced by microcrystalline cellulose was explored in various concentrations of ILs, composed of [Emim] + cation and [DEP] − , [OAc] − , [Br] − , [Cl] − , and [BF 4 ] − anions. The FTIR analysis of inactivated BG indicated that the ILs altered its β-sheet content. Moreover, circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) suggested that the α-helix content decreased, while the β-sheet content increased with the presence of ILs in general. Interestingly, the secondary structure of BG had almost no change after [Emim]DEP treatment, while ionic liquid [Emim]BF 4 treatment caused the irreversible denaturation of BG. Eventually, by adding 0.4 mM of Aerosol OT surfactant, the BG activity was increased by 20.1% in the presence of 25% [Emim]DEP, and the corresponding glucose yield from hydrolysis of cellobiose was increased by 23.9%.

Relaxor ferroelectrics (RFE) serve as superior alternatives to ferroelectrics (FE) for energy storage owing to their enhanced energy storage efficiency and thermal stability. This study combines experimental characterization and phase-field simulations to systematically investigate the effects of dopant distribution on the energy storage properties of RFEs. By analyzing the microstructure evolution and key performance metrics—including characteristic temperatures ( T f , T m , T B ), recoverable energy storage density ( W rec ), and dielectric constant ( ε r )—we establish a phase-field model incorporating diffusive compositional distribution of the dopant to reveal the underlying mechanisms of RFE behavior in 0.9BaTiO 3 -0.1Bi(Mg 2/3 Ta 1/3 )O 3 (0.9BT-0.1BMTa). Experimental results confirm frequency dispersion and characteristic relaxor behavior, while simulations reveal that dispersed BMTa concentrations enhance W rec stability on temperature at the expense of peak values, with optimal performance occurring between the dielectric maximum temperature ( T m ) and Burns temperature ( T B ). The local electric field is shown to moderately improve thermal stability but exerts less influence than compositional distribution. For practical energy storage applications , we propose design protocols: (1) prioritize concentrated dopant distributions if high W rec or fixed-temperature operation is required, and (2) adopt widely dispersed dopants for broad temperature-range stability. These findings provide a quantitative framework for tailoring perovskite-structured RFEs via compositional engineering, balancing performance metrics for targeted device specifications.

Polysaccharides and fruit extracts are applied in dairy products to enhance their nutritional property, but the effects of such formulations on the functions and biological activities are yet to be explored. Therefore, this study was aimed at evaluating the effect of interactions among milk protein (beta-lactoglobulin; BLG), polysaccharides (pectin, P; chitosan, CH), and anthocyanin (pelargonidin-3- O -glucoside; P3G) in improving the bioavailability and biological activity of P3G. After gastrointestinal digestion (GID), the content of free P3G in different model solutions were as follows: P3G-alone (73.59 μg/mL), P3G-P (66.59 μg/mL), P3G-CH (36.72 μg/mL), P3G-BLG (64.92 μg/mL), P3G-P-BLG (64.92 μg/mL), and P3G-CH-BLG (39.61 μg/mL). Less amount of free P3G in model solutions indicated increased complex formation of P3G with protein and/or polysaccharides during GID. These complexes resulted in protection and progressive release of P3G in the gastrointestinal tract. Chitosan exhibited more protection to P3G compared with P and BLG. In addition, α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and ROS scavenging activities of conjugated-P3G samples were potentially augmented after GID. However, the presence of polysaccharides and protein in the model solutions did not show any negative effect on the biological activity of P3G. Thus, pure P3G can be used as a nutritional ingredient in dairy industries.

Summary Background and aim Clinicians who understand how the body responds to exercise, how aerobic training enhances cardiovascular fitness and the benefits and essentials of prescribing aerobic exercise can effectively encourage patients to be active. Deep-frying is a standard cooking method accompanied by the production of carcinogenesis substances such as acrolein. Acrolein is a toxic byproduct of lipid peroxidation involved in the development of pulmonary, cardiac, and neurodegenerative diseases. This study aimed to explore the effect of aerobic exercise (E.X.E.), and octopamine (OCT) on caspase three expression levels in the heart tissue of rats were fed deep-frying oil (D.F.O.). Methods 30 male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups (n = 6 in each) including (1) control (CO), (2) deep-frying oil (DFO), (3) deep-frying oil + exercise (DFO + EXE), (4) deep-frying oil + octopamine (DFO + OCT), and (5) deep-frying oil + exercise + octopamine (DFO + EXE + OCT). The apoptotic effects of D.F.O. in heart tissue were examined by TUNEL assay. Masson's trichrome stain was used to study cardiomyocytic fibers. Moreover, caspase three gene expression in all groups was evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR and the Western blot method. Results Data showed a significant increase in apoptotic cells in the D.F.O. group ( P < 0.05). In Masson's Trichrome stain analysis, more cardiomyocytic fibers degradation and lymphocytic aggregation cells in the DFO + EXE + OCT group significantly improve this degradation. Also, the expression level of caspase 3 was significantly decreased in the DFO + EXE + OCT group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion According to the result of the current study, it can be assumed that D.F.O. can lead to programmed cell death via the activation of caspases in heart tissue. However, it seems that aerobic exercise with octopamine supplementation improves heart tissue function by inhibiting the expression of caspase 3 and pro-caspase 3, leading to a significantly decreased apoptosis in cardiomyocytes of DFO-treated models.

An electrochemical aptasensor for quantitatively detecting glypican-3 (GPC3) was constructed by combining hemin-reduced graphene oxide-platinum (H-rGO-Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) with reduced graphene oxide-gold (rGO-Au) nanoparticles (NPs). Herein, the rGO-Au NPs deposited onto screen-printed
electrodes resulted in signal amplification due to their large surface areas. Meanwhile, highly conductive H-rGO-Pt NPs acted as a sensing medium that improved electrical conductivity and as an indicator for monitoring peak current for determination. A GPC3 aptamer (GPC3apt) with a low equilibrium
dissociation constant was used as a bio-recognition molecule. GPC3apt specifically captured GPC3 proteins and formed aptamer-GPC3 complexes, which impeded electron transfer and thus hampered the redox signal of hemin in H-rGO-Pt NPs. This developed electrochemical aptasensor showed a linear
response to GPC3 (from 0.001 μg/mL to 10 μg/mL) and had a detection limit of 0.001 μg/mL. This work provides a low-cost and highly sensitive detection with and good recovery for GPC3 and holds great promise for the clinical diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

This article explores the microwave dielectric properties of (La 1-x Nd x ) 2 (Zr 0.96 Ti 0.04 ) 3 (MoO 4 ) 9 (x=0.1,0.3,0.5, and 0.7) ceramics prepared by solid-state reaction. Utilizing the Rietveld refinement technique in XRD, the sample is identified as a trigonal crystal system belonging to the R 3 ¯ c space group. SEM analysis indicates that relative density has a significant impact on the ε r and Q×f of ceramics. The Q×f values of ceramics are closely related to the FWHM of the Raman spectra. At 750℃, (La 0.5 Nd 0.5 ) 2 (Zr 0.96 Ti 0.04 ) 3 (MoO 4 ) 9 ceramic exhibited excellent dielectric properties: ε r = 10.4 (±0.08), Q×f = 149,300 (±3211) GHz, τ f = −34.8 (±0.7) ppm/℃. To gain a deeper understanding of the intrinsic mechanisms governing the microwave dielectric properties of ceramics, analysis based on the P-V-L theory reveals that the La(Nd)-O bond and Mo-O bond contribute significantly to ε r and Q×f, respectively.

3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) is a well-known heat-produced food contaminant, which has been reported to be carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, and reproductively toxic. In this study, a facile electrochemical sensor based on nanoporous gold (NPG) capped with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was constructed for the rapid and selective determination of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD). Firstly, NPG was fabricated on the electrode through coating the glass carbon electrode (GCE) surface with NPG film to provide an ideal substrate for polymerization of the MIP membrane and improve the electrocatalysis activity of the sensor. Then, the MIP membrane was constructed on the NPG surface via self-assembly by electropolymerization to realize selective recognition of target 3-MCPD molecules. As a consequence of the combined effect of NPG and MIP, the optimized molecularly imprinted polymer/nanoporous gold/glassy carbon electrode (MIP/NPG/GCE) sensor exhibited outstanding analytical performance towards 3-MCPD with a much wider linear range from 10 −16 to 10 −7 mol/L and fairly low detection limit of 3.5 × 10 −17 mol/L (S/N = 3). Meanwhile, the constructed electrochemical sensor presented outstanding specificity, anti-interference capability, and reproducibility. In order to demonstrate practical applicability, the MIP/NPG/GCE was applied for the detection of 3-MCPD in real soy sauce and satisfactory results were obtained with recovery rates ranging from 105.90% to 107.52%.

1-Phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) labeling technique has hitherto proved to be a convenient and sensitive method for separating and detecting oligosaccharides. However, the detailed fragmentation of the derivatives by tandem mass spectrometry has been reported limitedly and no characteristic fragment ions for isomers have been detected. In this study, eight disaccharide isomers were labeled with PMP and analyzed by positive ion electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS n ). In comparison with the native disaccharides, PMP labeled disaccharides gave rise to more fragment ions in the tandem mass spectra. The distinctive diagnostic fragment ions formed from cleavage of C C bonds have been detected in the fragmentation of PMP-labeled disaccharide linkage isomers, allowing unambiguous assignment of the position of the glycosidic linkages. This feature is particularly useful for the structural determination of unknown isomeric disaccharides mixed together. In addition, the anomeric configurations can also be easily assigned based on the relative abundance ratios of the selected ion pairs. To verify the feasibility of the method used in the analysis of natural product, water soluble Panax Ginseng extract has been further investigated to identify its unknown disaccharides. The results confirmed that the PMP labeling technique in conjunction with ESI-MS n could offer a powerful and convenient tool for differentiation of structurally closely related isomers, even the unknown mixtures of isomeric disaccharides with different linkage types.

An effecti v e combination pretreatment of bamboo shoot shell (BSS) using Emulsifier OP-10 (0.5%, w/v) in the acidified media (pH 4.0) by autoclaving (120 °C, 40 min) was conducted. After BSS slurry without detoxification was enzymatically hydrolyzed for 96 h, glucose (25.2 g/L) and xylose (7.5 g/L) were obtained from 50 g/L BSS at high yields. HPLC results showed that no potential inhibitors (furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) formed. In the hydrolysates , an effective biocatalytic synthesis of ethyl ( S )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate (100% yield; >99% e.e. ) from 1000 mM ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate was developed without the extra addition of cofactors within 24 h. In summary, this combination strategy involving biomass pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification , and bioreduction can be developed for producing chiral alcohols.

A novel hydroxyl-terminated π-allyl nickel initiator [η3-Ni(CH2CHCHCH2OCOCH3)][BPhF4] is synthesized for the first time. 1H-NMR analysis confirms that the Ni initiator possesses a typical π-allyl structure with a protected hydroxyl group. The Ni initiator is applied to synthesize hydroxyl-terminated poly(3-hexylthiophene). It successfully initiates the homopolymerization of thiophene, and yields narrow molecular weight distribution, hydroxyl-terminated poly(3-hexylthiophene). Moreover, it is found that [η3-Ni(CH2CHCHCH2OCOCH3)][BPhF4] has high initiating activity in the polymerization of styrene and butadiene. A hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene-b-poly(3-hexylthiophene) block copolymer is synthesized by using [η3-Ni(CH2CHCHCH2OCOCH3)][BPhF4] to improve the workability and brittleness of poly(3-hexylthiophene).

In this paper, pertraction of Nd(III) and U(VI) from nitric acid media through a flat-sheet supported liquid membrane (FSSLM) was studied by using a self-made liquid membrane device, respectively, with N, N’-dimethyl-N, N’-dioctyl-3-oxadiglcolamide (DMDODGA) diluted in 40/60 (V/V)% n-octanol/kerosene as the carrier. The effects of various factors, such as the acidity of the feed and stripping phases, neodymium concentration, uranium concentration, DMDODGA concentration are discussed. The optimized conditions for Nd(III) transport were found to be 3 M HNO3 in the feed phase, 0.5 M HNO3 in the stripping phase, 0.48 M DMDODGA in n-octanol/kerosene as the carrier. When the initial concentration of Nd(III) was 1 × 10−4 mol/L, the transport rate of Nd(III) was 86.4(±2.2)%. Compared with Nd(III), the liquid membrane was less effective in the transport of U(VI), the highest transport rate of U(VI) was 57.2 (±2.6)%.
