Liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE) data for ternary systems of water + 1,6-hexanediol + 1-pentanol/ 3-methyl-1-butanol/ 2-methyl-2-butanol were measured at (293.15, 303.15, 313.15 and 323.15) K under 101.3 kPa. Cloud-point method was applied to determine the solubility curves data. Distribution coefficient and separation factors for 1,6-hexanediol were calculated from the measured tie-line data to evaluate the extraction effect of alcohols on 1,6-hexanediol. The reliability of experimental LLE data were tested by Othmer–Tobias equation and Hand equation, NRTL and UNIQUAC models were applied to correlate the measured data and the calculated results show that both models can fit the experimental data very well.

Na3V2(PO4)3 has been attracting great interest from scholars owing to its high voltage platform and high energy storage capacity. However, its poor electronic conductivity and weak ion diffusion ability seriously restrict the application of its actual industrialization. In view of the above defects, Na3+xV2(PO4)3/C (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are prepared through a solid-phase method in this paper. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that the Na-rich amount of x = 0.4 attains the upper limit of the solid solution of the Na-rich Na3V2(PO4)3, and the “ultracapacity” effect reaches the maximum at this x value; the capacity is as high as 132.4 mAh/g, with remarkable cycle stability (96% capacity retention after 300 cycles). The results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations clearly explain that the reason for the excess sodium occupying the electrochemically active Na2 site is the reason for the ultracapacity. It is found through the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) test that excessive sodium caused some high-valent V to be reduced to low-valent V, which maintained the electrical balance of the crystal and the stability of the Na-rich solid solution structure. Through the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) of the V element, it is found that the change of V valence during the charge and discharge process of the Na-rich Na3V2(PO4)3 solid solution is consistent with that of Na3V2(PO4)3. Refined structural characterization by spherical aberration electron microscopy and ex situ XRD also prove that the Na-rich Na3V2(PO4)3 solid solution undergoes a phase transition during the charge–discharge process and can be reversibly recovered. These findings further prove that it is feasible to synthesize a new Na-rich Na3V2(PO4)3 solid solution with a stable structure, which makes Na3V2(PO4)3 a practical cathode material for SIBs having great potential in the future.

To improve the inherent conductivity and extend the cycling durability of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP), this study suggests a technique for synthesis of phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin-derived lamellar intercalated spherical NVP (PF-NVP/C) structures via solvothermal method. The unique lamellar intercalated sphere structure typically possesses good mechanical toughness, enabling better tolerance to the current impact. Moreover, spherical morphology features a significantly enlarged specific area of 144.32 m 2 g -1 , facilitating full contact between electrolyte and electrode, and providing additional active sites for Na + storage. Coupled with protective effect of carbon coating layers, the cycling stability is significantly improved. Meanwhile, highly conductive graphitized carbon skeleton from the pyrolysis of PF bonding with the uniform amorphous carbon layers constructs favourable networks for electronic transportation. Notably, the modified PF-NVP/C delivers a capacity of 115.5 mAh g -1 at 0.1 C. Remarkably, it can maintain a high capacity of 71.1 mAh g -1 and keeps 50.8 mAh g -1 even after 16000 cycles at 50 C, exhibiting outstanding cycling stability. Ex-situ XRD indicates the redox reaction of V 3+ /V 4+ is highly reversible. Furthermore, by comparing morphological and electrochemical kinetic characteristics of the PF-NVP/C before and after cycling, further evidence is provided to demonstrate its unique lamellar intercalated spherical morphology and excellent structural stability.

The thermal stable Eu(HCOO) 3 red-emitting crystals were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route. Both excitation and emission spectra revealed that the prepared crystals can be efficiently pumped by the near-ultraviolet (NUV) light and it can emit brightness red light with admirable color purity of 90.4%. With the help of Judd-Ofelt theory, the optical transition intensity parameters of Eu 3+ ions were evaluated so as to explore its local symmetry performance in the Eu(HCOO) 3 host lattices . The thermal quenching behaviors of the studied samples were investigated through the temperature-dependent emission spectra . Ultimately, a white light-emitting diode (WLED) lamp with good color rendering index (78.2) and correlated color temperature (6386 K) was packaged through coating the tricolor phosphors (BaMgAl 10 O 7 :Eu 2+ blue-emitting phosphor, (Ba,Sr) 2 SiO 4 :Eu 2+ green-emitting phosphor and resultant red-emitting crystals) onto the surface of a NUV chip. These results disclosed the high brightness Eu(HCOO) 3 red-emitting crystals were suitable for NUV chip triggered WLED applications.

3-methylcatechol (3MC) is a molecule of environmental interest due to its presence in the atmosphere during biomass burning events, leading to the formation of secondary organic aerosols. This paper goes one step further than the paper from A.S. Hazrah et al. (2022) [10] . A three-dimensional torsional potential energy surface was determined, confirming the existence of three rotamers for 3MC. One dimensional potential energy curves along the rotation of the methyl group were computed and fitted to estimate the barrier height in each conformer . Experiments were performed at low temperature in the microwave domain ( 2 − 20 GHz range) and, for the first time, in the millimeter-wave domain ( 70 − 110 GHz range) at T = 323 K with a specially designed heated absorption cell. The rotational linelist was fitted to provide updated spectroscopic parameters for the two 3MC conformers of lowest energies. In particular, the A − E splitting is observed in the microwave region for both conformers while in the millimeter-wave region, it is only seen for the conformer of the lowest energy.

Emerging evidence has revealed the novel role of gut microbiota in the development of cancer. The characteristics of function and composition in the gut microbiota of patients with breast cancer patients has been reported, however the detailed causation between gut microbiota and breast cancer remains uncertain. In the present study, 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that Prevotella, particularly the dominant species Prevotella copri, is significantly enriched and prevalent in gut microbiota of breast cancer patients. Prior-oral administration of P. copri could promote breast cancer growth in specific pathogen-free mice and germ-free mice, accompanied with sharp reduction of indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA). Mechanistically, the present of excessive P. copri consumed a large amount of tryptophan (Trp), thus hampering the physiological accumulation of IPyA in the host. Our results revealed that IPyA is an intrinsic anti-cancer reagent in the host at physiological level. Briefly, IPyA directly suppressed the transcription of UHRF1, following by the declined UHRF1 and PP2A C in nucleus, thus inhibiting the phosphorylation of AMPK, which is just opposite to the cancer promoting effect of P. copri. Therefore, the exhaustion of IPyA by excessive P. copri strengthens the UHRF1-mediated negative control to inactivated the energy-controlling AMPK signaling pathway to promote tumor growth, which was indicated by the alternation in pattern of protein expression and DNA methylation. Our findings, for the first time, highlighted P. copri as a risk factor for the progression of breast cancer.

The composition of volatile compounds generated by the thermal decomposition of Amadori rearrangement products (ARPs) in the Maillard reaction between glucose and alanine was investigated by using a combination of thermal desorption cryo-trapping system and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A total of 25 volatile compounds were detected and identified, including 15 pyrazines, 3 pyridines, 1 pyrrole, and 6 complex nitrogen-containing compounds. The results indicated that pyrazines are the predominant products of the thermal decomposition of ARPs, and the specific formation temperatures of the various volatiles were determined. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) was employed to study the formation mechanism of 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine in depth, and the structures of the reactants, transition states, and products were elucidated. Furthermore, by comparing the rate constants and reaction energy barriers of the different reactions, it was concluded that the synthesis of deoxyglucosones and the ring-forming reaction of pyrazines are the key reactions in the generation pathway of 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine.

A general and efficient method for the preparation of bottle-brush brushes is presented via the combination of self-initiated photografting and photopolymerization (SIPGP) and rare earth metal mediated group transfer polymerization (REM-GTP). This strategy involves the creation of poly(3-((2,6-dimethylpyridin-4-yl)oxy)propyl methacrylate) (PDMPPMA) brushes and the successive conversion to surface-grafted macroinitiator brushes through the C–H bond activation by Cp2YCH2TMS(THF) complex. The surface-bound macroinitiator exhibits high activity and no initiation period in the polymerization of monomers following a group-transfer polymerization mechanism, resulting in the formation of side chains along the PDMPPMA backbone. The versatile approach is not only applicable to the polymerization of conventional MMA, but also active for the polymerization of heteroatom containing monomers, e.g., vinylphosphonate, 2-vinylpyridine and 2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline, thus affording bottle-brush brushes which cannot be efficiently realized by conventional polymerization techniques.

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a membrane-associated proteoglycan that is specifically upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and has become one of the most promising biomarkers closely related to the occurrence and development of HCC. In this work, platinum@palladium nanoparticles decorated with hemin-reduced graphene oxide (H-rGO-Pt@Pd NPs) were used not only as a support for GPC3 aptamer (GPC3Apt) immobilization, but also as a new redox nanoprobe in electrochemical analysis for the determination of GPC3. The electrochemical aptasensor involved a reaction cell with a three-electrode system, and the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique was adopted. In the presence of GPC3, the formed GPC3Apt–GPC3 complexes had stable structures and were cleaved from the electrode surface, leading to more electroactive H-rGO-Pt@Pd NPs repelling freely from the GPC3Apt/H-rGO-Pt@Pd NPs and thus to the increase of the oxidation peak current of hemin in H-rGO-Pt@Pd NPs. Under optimal conditions and a working voltage of +700 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl), the label-free electrochemical GPC3 aptasensor showed superior performance with a wider concentration linear range (0.001–10.0 μg mL−1), a lower limit of detection (LOD) (0.181 ng mL−1, S/N = 3), a higher sensitivity (0.0446 μA μM−1 cm−2) and good selectivity. Furthermore, the fabricated aptasensor was applied to GPC3 determination in human serum samples with satisfactory recoveries of 94.3%–119% and RSDs of 0.15%–5.78%. The current work provides a flexible approach for the rapid and sensitive analysis of GPC3 and has a broad application prospect in the diagnosis of HCC.

Aim To investigate the role of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) in the regulation of odonto/osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs). Methodology Stem cells from the apical papilla were obtained from human impacted third molars ( n = 15). Isolated SCAPs were transfected with CREB overexpressing/silenced lentivirus. Transfected cells were stained with alizarin red to investigate mineralized nodule formation. The expression of the mineralization-related genes, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen type I (Col I), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osterix (OSX) and osteocalcin (OCN), was determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Protein expression of the odontogenic-related marker dentine sialoprotein (DSP) and the osteogenic-related marker RUNX2 was measured by Western blotting analysis. One-way analysis of variance ( anova ) and Student's t -test were used for statistical analysis ( a = 0.05). Results The overexpression of CREB enhanced mineralized nodule formation and up-regulated ( P < 0.05) the mRNA levels of odonto/osteogenic-related markers, including ALP, Col I, RUNX2, OSX and OCN, and also increased ( P < 0.05) the protein expression of DSP and RUNX2. In contrast, the silencing of CREB inhibited ( P < 0.05) the mineralization capacity of the SCAPs and decreased ( P < 0.05) the expression of odonto/osteogenic-related markers. Conclusion Up-regulation of CREB expression promoted odonto/osteogenic differentiation of SCAPs and provided a potential method for the regeneration of the dentine–pulp complex.

Antimony selenosulfide (Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 ) thin films hold significant potential in the photovoltaic field due to their tunable bandgap, high absorption coefficient (>10 5 cm −1 ), earth-abundant, and low-toxicity constituents. However, serious trapped-carrier recombination at deep-defect levels limits their efficient applications. In this sense, it is urgently necessary to address the issues of the defects and enhancing film properties. This study optimizes solution-processed Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 films by adjusting the antimony/sulfur (Sb/S) atomic ratio in precursors and the post-selenization temperature. Results show that an optimal Sb/S atomic ratio of 2/3.55 in precursors improves the crystallinity, enlarges the grain size, and minimizes the antimony-oxygen (Sb-O) impurities; this suppresses the deep-trapped carriers’ non-radiative recombination, and reduces the defect density in the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 films. Furthermore, it is found that the selenization at an optimal temperature of 350 °C further increases the grain size, broadens the light absorption, and diminishes the deep-level defects, which is clearly revealed by the transient absorption experiments. This dual-parameter optimization strategy may promote the development of the high-performance Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 films towards high-efficiency photovoltaic applications.

Na 2+2x Fe 2–x (SO 4 ) 3 (NFSO) is a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its low cost and high operating potential (≈3.8 V). However, poor intrinsic electronic conductivity and sluggish kinetics are major drawbacks to its practical application. Herein, magnesium doped Na 2+2x Fe 2–x (SO 4 ) 3 microspheres (Na 2.54 (Fe 0.97 Mg 0.03 ) 1.73 (SO 4 ) 3 ) are synthesized via a designed spray-drying process. The optimized cathode material (NFSO@C-Mg0.02) possesses excellent rate performance up to 50C (50.8 mAh g −1 at 50C) and long-cycle stability (capacity retention of 78.3% even after 9000 cycles at 10C). Despite an increase in the mass loading to 10 mg cm −2 , the electrode continues to represent a reversible capacity of 72.1 mAh g −1 at 3C. Furthermore, NFSO@C-Mg0.02║HC full cell demonstrates superior cycling stability (80% capacity retention over 8000 cycles at 5C) and high energy density (≈310 Wh kg −1 , based on the cathode). In situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) results reveal that the Mg doping strategy successfully mitigates the variation in lattice volume. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations verify that the prominent rate performance is attributed to the enhanced Na + diffusion kinetics and low ionic-migration energy barrier. This work provides an effective strategy and a fundamental understanding to enhance the electrochemical performance of cathode materials for SIBs.
