An ultrasensitive label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was developed to detect amyloid β-protein (Aβ) based on CdS/CdTe-cosensitized SnO2 nanoflowers. Specifically, SnO2 with a flower-like porous nanostructure was utilized as a perfect substrate for the construction of PEC immunosensors, and the SnO2-modified electrode was first coated with CdTe quantum dots (QDs) and then further deposited with CdS by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction techniques. The formed SnO2/CdS/CdTe-cosensitized structure exhibited excellent photocurrent intensity and was employed as an excellent photoactive matrix to immobilize Aβ antibody to further construct the immunosensor. Under optimal conditions, the as-constructed PEC immunosensor was used to detect Aβ and exhibited a wide linear concentration range from 0.5 pg mL−1 to 10 ng mL−1, with a low limit of detection (LOD, 0.18 pg mL−1, S/N = 3). Meanwhile, it also presented good reproducibility, specificity, and stability and may open a new promising platform for the clinical detection of Aβ or other biomarkers.

In this work, a water-soluble host–guest complex containing carboxymethylated beta-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) and an aniline trimer (AT) was synthesized. The application of AT–CM-β-CD as an inhibitor for alleviating the corrosion of Q235 carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results showed that the inhibition efficiency was significantly increased in the presence of AT–CM-β-CD, and the inhibition efficiency was up to 99.2% when the concentration of AT–CM-β-CD was 250 mg L−1. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) confirmed that the corrosion inhibitor had excellent corrosion inhibition effects due to the formation of an adsorption film on the surface of Q235 carbon steel. According to the data extracted from the Langmuir adsorption model, AT–CM-β-CD absorption involves both physisorption and chemisorption.

Herein, a phenyl-rich β-cyclodextrin porous crosslinked polymer (PCD-PCP) with high phenyl content and consistent pore structure was used to remove the aromatic pollutants from water. The PCD-PCP was obtained through the efficient Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzylated β-cyclodextrin with the crosslinker 4,4′-bis(chloromethyl)-1,1′-biphenyl. We have demonstrated that by controlling the crosslinking degree, the nanostructure, porous features and phenyl contents of the resulting materials can be tuned, in turn allowing the control of the adsorption capacities. Impressively, PCD-PCP(H) with high crosslinking density exhibited a notable sorption ability and good recyclability for removal of organics from contaminated water. Using 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl and bisphenol A as model adsorbates, the adsorption processes both fitted well the pseudo-second-order model and the Freundlich model, and thermodynamic studies certified that the adsorption was a spontaneous and exothermic process. PCD-PCP(H) was able to maintain high adsorption capacity in wide pH and ionic strength ranges as well as in recycling process. Furthermore, the comprehensive analysis of experimental and theoretical calculations results suggested that the π–π interactions and host-guest interactions may jointly promote the uptake process, providing new insights into the development of advanced β-cyclodextrin based adsorbents for aromatic molecule adsorption.

In this study, we developed an intravenously injectable, transferrin-functionalised microemulsion that simultaneously carries β-elemene and celastrol (called Tf-EC-MEs) for enhanced anti-lung cancer treatment and reduced systemic toxicity. These dual-drug-loaded Tf-EC-MEs not only displayed synergistic antiproliferative effects on cultured cells in vitro, but also showed enhanced efficacy in vivo via active tumour targeting. In preparatory experiments, we found that β-elemene was capable of being used as oil phase, which enhanced drug-loading efficiency and allowed the mass ratio of β-elemene and celastrol to be optimised. In cellular studies, Tf-EC-MEs exhibited significantly improved A549 cellular uptake compared with β-elemene+celastrol (conventional combination treatment) and EC-MEs (non-active targeted treatment), demonstrating remarkable synergistic antiproliferative effects and higher rates of cell apoptosis. In A549-bearing xenograft mouse tumour models, Tf-EC-MEs exhibited enhanced antitumour activity compared to all other treatments. More importantly, Tf-EC-MEs did not cause the obvious systemic toxicity commonly found with mono-celastrol treatment. Collectively, these findings suggest that Tf-EC-MEs are a promising strategy for the combination drug treatment of lung cancer.

Cinnamic acid and its analogues (pyragrel and ozagrel) undergo chain-shortened (β-oxidative) and reductive metabolism on acyl side chain. In this study, we characterized the β-oxidative and reductive metabolism on acyl side chain of cinnamic acid and its analogues using primary rat hepatocytes, hepatic mitochondrial, and microsomal systems. A compartmental model including parent compounds and metabolites was developed to characterize in vivo β-oxidative and reductive metabolism following an intravenous dose of parent compounds to rats. The fitted total in vivo clearance values were further compared with the in vitro values predicted by the well-stirred model. We showed that hepatic microsomal CYP450s did not catalyze β-oxidative or reductive metabolism of the three compounds. Similar to β-oxidation of fatty acids, β-oxidative metabolism on their acyl side chain occurred mainly in mitochondria, which was highly dependent on ATP, CoA and NAD + . Fatty acids and NADH inhibited the β-oxidative metabolism. Reductive metabolism occurred in both mitochondria and microsomes. Reduction in mitochondria was ATP-, CoA-, and NAD(P)H-dependent and reversible, which was suppressed by enoyl reductase inhibitor triclosan. Reduction in microsomes was ATP-, CoA-, and NADPH-dependent but little affected by triclosan. Both plasma concentrations of β-oxidative metabolites and reductive metabolites were successfully fitted using the compartmental model. The estimated total in vivo clearance values were consistent with those predicted from hepatocytes and organelles, implicating significance of in vitro kinetics. These findings demonstrate the roles of hepatic mitochondria and microsomes in β-oxidative and reductive metabolism on acyl side chain of cinnamic acid and its analogues along with their metabolic characteristics.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the application of octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) starch and chitosan to form multilayer nanoemulsions in the spray-drying microencapsulation of β -carotene in oil. Initially, the single and bilayer nanoemulsions were prepared and optimized by varying their compositions with the characterization of mean particle diameter (MPD), polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta-potential (ZP). The optimized composition of the bilayer emulsion was 9 wt% medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil phase, 4.6 wt% OSA starch and 0.3 wt% chitosan. The MPD, PDI and ZP of the bilayer emulsion were 183.6 ± 0.7 nm, 0.17 ± 0.03 and 24.9 ± 1.9 mV, respectively. The stability of single and bilayer emulsions against acidic pH was evaluated. In the spray-drying process, the effects of OSA starch/maltodextrin as wall materials on the bilayer emulsion were investigated. Another complex interfacial layer with adjustable surface positive charges could be formed by mixing the bilayer emulsion with these wall materials. The spray-dried microencapsulated particles were characterized and the degradation of β -carotene at different temperatures was studied. The stability of encapsulated β -carotene was influenced by the different constituents at the oil in water interface and the multilayer interface was demonstrated to provide the best protection during storage. These results have important implications for the spray-drying microencapsulation of functional additives with OSA starch as both emulsifier and wall materials.

Penicillin G acylase (PGA) from Providencia rettgeri PX04 (PrPGA) was utilized to synthesize β-lactam antibiotics. Poly-lysine supported cross-linked enzyme aggregates (PL-CLEAs) were prepared using PGA. Addition of poly-lysine significantly increased retention of PGA activity in CLEAs, with a decrease in the synthesis/hydrolysis (S/H) ratio. PL-CLEAs with 0.56 mg/mL poly-lysine retained 83% of free PGA activity, and displayed a higher S/H ratio than that of the free enzyme. Both PL-CLEAs and CLEAs exhibited high pH and thermal stabilities . PL-CLEAs possessed the best stability profile, and the lowest α value [( k cat / K m ) Ps /( k cat / K m ) AD ], and was most effective at amoxicillin synthesis. A >94% yield of amoxicillin was achieved using a D-HPGME/6-APA ratio of 1.2:1 (240 mM, 200 mM), with fed-batch addition of D-HPGME. PL-CLEAs displayed excellent operational stability during amoxicillin synthesis. Over 97% of initial conversion was retained after twenty rounds of catalysis. PL-CLEAs exhibited greater potency than CLEAs in practical catalysis, permitting a higher concentration of reactants.

Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a refractory disease induced by glucocorticoids. Marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate into multiple bone matrix cells and have been used as cell-based therapies to treat ONFH. However, the osteogenesis of MSCs isolated from patients with SONFH is significantly decreased. Polydatin has been widely used in traditional Chinese remedies due to its multiple pharmacological actions. As shown in our previous study, Polydatin protects from oxidative stress and promotes BMSC migration. However, little is known about its role in BMSC (Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) osteogenesis; therefore, we further investigated the effect and mechanism of Polydatin in hBMSC osteogenesis. The ability of Polydatin to promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs was determined using the MTT assay, ALP staining and the ALP activity assay. Next, qPCR and western blotting were performed to measure the levels of genes and proteins related to the osteogenesis of hBMSCs. Then, the effect of Polydatin on the nuclear translocation of β-catenin was determined using immunofluorescence staining. Polydatin (30 μM) markedly enhanced the proliferation of hBMSCs and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Additionally, it also significantly upregulated the expression of osteogenic genes (Runx2, osteopontin, DLX5, osteocalcin, collagen type I and BMP2) and components of the Wnt signaling pathway (β-catenin, Lef1, TCF7, c-jun, c-myc and cyclin D). These osteogenesis-potentiating effects of Polydatin were blocked by Noggin, an inhibitor of the BMP pathway, and DKK1, an inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. However, DKK1 did not affect Polydatin-induced BMP2 expression. Based on our results, Polydatin promotes the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs through the BMP2-Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

It is highly desirable to develop a heterogeneous catalyst that is both efficient and recyclable for the simultaneous acquisition of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural from lignocellulose feedstock. Herein, a series of (x)SnCl2-PTA/β catalysts (x = 10, 15, 20, and 25 wt %) were prepared and characterized using ICP-AES, XRD, SEM, N2 adsorption–desorption, XPS, NH3-TPD, and Py-FTIR techniques. It was found that (20)SnCl2-PTA/β catalyst having a suitable acid density, acid ratio, and texture structure contributed to the furan compound formation from carbohydrate components of wheat straw. Under optimal conditions, up to 71% of furfural and 30% of HMF were simultaneously obtained from wheat straw in a water/tetrahydrofuran biphasic system, while the byproducts formed were identified as soluble C4–C15 molecules and insoluble humins. More importantly, the (20)SnCl2-PTA/β catalyst was still capable of providing moderate furan compounds yields after four cycles, and its catalytic performance could be partially restored by simple reimpregnation.

The low biological effectiveness of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is the main limiting factor of in-situ bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soil. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCD) and microbial consortia on the PAHs degradation rate and microbial ecology and functional diversity and stability in soil. The results show that MCD and microorganisms significantly increased the degradation rate of pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene by 30.1% and 9.1%, respectively, (p < 0.05) after 4 weeks. The average well color development (AWCD) values and diversity indices of bioaugmentation (B) and MCD- and bacterial-assisted bioaugmentation (MB) were significantly higher than that in control (CK). The Shannon–Weaver index (H) and McIntosh index (U) in the MB treatment were significantly higher than those observed in other treatments, which indicated that its species richness and individuals were distributed evenly. The soil microbial activity and community structure were the most abundant in the MB treatment. Compared to the CK treatment, MB significantly promoted soil dehydrogenase activity (DHA) and fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis (FDAH) enzyme activity, which were increased by 96.3% and 994.3%, respectively. According to the results of principal component analysis, the physiological functions of microbial communities in the MB and B treatments were different from the other treatments. Therefore, the combination of the microorganisms with MCD can stimulate the remediation efficiency of PAHs and the physiological functions of microbial communities.

Persistent organic micropollutants have seriously damaged aquatic ecological equilibrium and affected human health. Conventional adsorbents are limited due to slow adsorption rate. Therefore, it’s significant to integrate adsorbent into porous membrane to develop a highly efficient continuous filtration method for water purification. Herein, β-cyclodextrin polymer (β-CDP) composite porous membranes were prepared via convenient interfacial cross-linking. The membranes combined the adsorption ability of β-CDP and the convective mass transport process of filtration membrane to quickly remove contaminants from water by flow-through adsorption. In optimized preparation conditions, the composite membrane exhibited a 100% of removal efficiency towards bisphenol A and a high treating capacity up to 440 mg m -2 . The treating capacity kept nearly unchanged in acidic and neutral pH condition, while increased greatly with the addition of salts due to the salting-out effect. Also, the membrane could completely remove pollutants with ultrahigh flux up to 2500 L·m -2 h -1 . In addition, the used membranes were fully regenerated by mild ethanol cleaning.

The aim of this study was to develop a novel ocular drug delivery system based on the hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) inclusion complex coated with the synthesized chitosan-N-acetyl- l -cysteine conjugate (CS-NAC) for the hydrophobic drug quercetin . The inclusion complex was prepared by the solvent evaporation method, and the concentration of HP-β-CD and CS-NAC was optimized by isolated corneal penetration test. The optimized concentration of HP-β-CD and CS-NAC was 20% (w/v) and 0.1% (w/v), respectively. The CS-NAC/quercetin-HP-β-CD had the effect on improving the ocular penetration with little ocular irritation and could increase the ocular distribution significantly. Meanwhile, Coumarin-6 (C6) labelled CS-NAC/C6-HP-β-CD possessed enhanced fluorescence and located deeper into the epithelium of cornea at the same time point compared with the uncoated one. It could also transport drug through the corneal epithelium by intracellular routes except for intercellular routes. Furthermore, it could delay the occurrence of cataract about 1 d when administrated with full-dosage quercetin. The HP-β-CD inclusion complex coated with CS-NAC is a safe and promising ocular drug delivery system for improving the bioavailability and corneal penetration of hydrophobic drug like quercetin.
