Inspired by the simultaneous increase of permeability and selectivity by introducing nanobubbles by physical methods, this study firstly proposed a in situ chemical nanobubbles controlled guanidyl-incorporated double layer nanofiltration (NF) membrane for Mg/Li separation in salt-lake brine. As a bridge, 1,3-diaminoguanidine released nanobubbles rapidly and uniformly by pH control while polymerizing with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) during interfacial polymerization, followed by polyethyleneimine (PEI) secondary reaction, which effectively changed the solute transportation to obtain the shortest pathways in horizontal and normal directions. Compared with conventional PEI-TMC membrane, the water flux of guanidyl-incorporated PEI (G-PEI) membrane was obviously increased by 54.28% while separation factor of Li/Mg ( S Li/Mg ) enhanced by 63.27% in the initial 1 h, indicating chemical nanobubble interlayer effectively broke Trade-off effect by increasing the effective filtration area. In the long-term operation, G-PEI-NF membrane exhibited an excellent S Li/Mg of >60, low mass rate of Mg 2+ and Li + (MLR) of 0.31 and Li + purity of >75% with the stable flux of 19–20 L/(m 2 ·h). This study expected to provide a novel chemical nanobubble interlayer NF membrane with high filtration performance for Mg/Li separation in salt-lake brine.

s An efficient and sustainable catalyst is urgently needed for the actual oil refining process. Different amounts of peroxophosphotungstate (PW 4 ) were successfully encapsulated into the pore of ZIF-8 framework material to obtain composites (x%-PW 4 @ZIF-8, x = 10.7, 14.6, 27.5 and 34.8) through a stirring process at room temperature for desulfurization of model diesel. The successful encapsulation of the active component PW 4 in the pore was verified by a variety of characterization methods, and there is weak force between the PW 4 and the ZIF-8. The composite 27.5%-PW 4 @ZIF-8 showed good catalytic activity for various sulfides under moderate conditions. In addition, DBT removal rate catalyzed by 27.5%-PW 4 @ZIF-8 could still reach levels of 95.1% after 10 cycles. The high efficiency of activity and excellent reusability are attributed to the high matching of host and guest sizes. This work provides new inspiration for designing and preparing catalysts with high activity and excellent reusability by a simple and environmentally friendly method.

Backgroud Supernatants from various cytological samples, including body cavity effusion, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and needle aspiration, have been validated for detecting genetic alterations using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the sensitivity of fusion variations detection remains challenging. The protection of cell-free RNA (cfRNA) is critical for resolving the issue. Methods A protective solution (PS) was applied for preserving cfRNA in cytological supernatant (CS), and the quality of protected cfRNA was assessed by cycle threshold (CT) values from reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Furthermore, we collected an additional set of malignant cytological and matched tumor samples from 84 NSCLC patients, cfDNA & cfRNA extraction and double detection for driver gene mutations was validated using the multi-gene mutations detection by RT-qPCR. Results Under the optimal protection system, 91.0% (101/111) of cfRNA were protected effectively. Among the 84 NSCLC patient samples, seven cytological samples failed the tests. In comparison with tumor samples, the overall sensitivity and specificity of detecting driver genes of supernatant cfDNA and cfRNA were 93.8% (74/77) and 100% (77/77), respectively. Notably, when focusing exclusively on patients with fusion gene changes, both sensitivity and specificity reached 100% (11/11) for EML4-ALK, ROS1, RET fusions, and MET ex14 skipping. Conclusion These findings suggest that cfDNA & cfRNA extraction and double detection strategy recommended in this study improve the accuracy of driver genes mutations test, especially for RNA-based assay.

Eu 3+ ions are extensively employed as spectroscopic probes because of the particular emissions due to the unique 4f 6 electronic configuration. Herein, we have developed a series of interesting fluorescent powders of Eu 3+ activated Sr 2 MNbO 6 (M = Ga, In, Gd). When Sr 2 GaNbO 6 :Eu 3+ is excited by the photons in the range of charge transfer band (CTB), the dark red 5 D 0 → 7 F 4 transition predominates the emission, exhibiting an anomalous intensity even higher than that of 5 D 0 → 7 F 1 or 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 . Whilst, if the sample is pumped by f-f characteristic transitions, the hypersensitive 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transition emerges as the strongest. However, Eu 3+ doped Sr 2 InNbO 6 and Sr 2 GdNbO 6 never demonstrate such results, 5 D 0 → 7 F 1 acts as the most intense one regardless of the excitation wavelength. It is found that Eu 3+ substitutes Sr 2+ site, and cuboctaherdron [SrO 12 ] with O h symmetry is likely to deform to triangular orthobicupola D 3h symmetry, leading to two non-equivalent crystal sites in Sr 2 GaNbO 6 host. But Eu 3+ replaces In 3+ and Gd 3+ position with O h symmetry and has only one site in Sr 2 InNbO 6 and Sr 2 GdNbO 6 . Based on the comparative study on the intensity of 5 D 0 → 7 F 0 transition, as well as the influence factors of temperature, the doping concentration on the relative intensity among 5 D 0 → 7 F J transitions, and the band gaps of these three hosts, the origin of the abnormal intense 5 D 0 → 7 F 4 is ascribed to the mixing of CTB and low-lying 4f 6 configuration as well as two non-equivalent Eu 3+ sites.

Arsanilic acid ( p -ASA), an organoarsenic additive found in livestock wastewater, can release toxic inorganic arsenic into the environment. While bioelectrochemical systems have proven effective in decomposing organoarsenics, managing the resulting inorganic arsenic remains a challenge. This study demonstrated the feasibility of a two-stage bioelectrochemical process designed to facilitate p -ASA degradation and in situ recover inorganic arsenic from contaminated livestock wastewater. It consisted of two sequential stages: (I) anodic stimulation for p -ASA degradation and (II) reversing electrode polarities for the cathodic reduction of inorganic arsenic. In Stage I, the anode significantly enhanced the degradation of p -ASA, resulting in 18 μg/L of As(III) and 700 μg/L of As(V) released into the bulk solution. In Stage II, the cathode further reduced the As(III) and As(V) to 8.9 and 35.5 μg/L, respectively, through the synergistic action of the cathode and suspended microbes. The inorganic arsenic was recovered as a layer of As(V)-O on the cathode. Microbial analysis indicated that Alcaligenes was responsible for the degradation of p -ASA, while Anaerobacillus and Desulfitibacter played key roles in reducing As(V) and As(III) on the cathode, respectively. This study provided a promising alternative approach for the removal of organoarsenics and in situ recovery of inorganic arsenic from organoarsenic-bearing wastewater.

The chlorobenzene (CB) antisolvent is widely used to fabricate high-efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the narrow processing window and the strict volume ratio of a binary mixed solvent limit the fabrication of large-area and high-quality perovskite films. In this work, by systematic investigation of additives with the CB antisolvent, a universal guideline is achieved wherein a small amount of additive with a donor number between 9.0 and 27.0 kcal/mol can significantly widen the antisolvent treating time slot from 2 to 40 s while simultaneously enlarging the processor binary mixed solvent (dimethylformamide/dimethyl sulfoxide) from 7:3 to 0:10. Moreover, this process facilitates the formation of perovskite seeds as templates for perovskite crystal growth, effectively reducing the bulk defects in perovskite films. Finally, the obtained PSCs show remarkable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 22.22 and 19.74% for rigid and flexible devices, respectively.

Chemotherapy remains the first choice of treatment for colon cancer despite the inevitable adverse effects. Curcumin (CU) possesses antitumor activity but has poor aqueous solubility, low bioavailability, and weak activity. To address this, nine novel monocarbonyl CU analogues were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in the present study. Among them, CA8 exhibited the highest water solubility, which was approximately 2.37 × 106 times that of CU. In addition, compared with CU, its cytotoxicity on Caco-2 cells (19.2 times/48 h) was stronger. Of note, CA8 arrestedthe cell cycle of Caco-2 cells at the G2/M phase and induced apoptosis. Meanwhile, acute toxicity experiments indicated that KM mice tolerated CA8 for up to 300 mg/kg CA8 (oral administration) and 50 mg/kg CA8 (intraperitoneal injection). The oral administration of CA8 to Sprague Dawley rats exhibited higher AUC (0-t) (6.23-fold) and longer MRT (0-t) (3.35-fold) than that of CU. CA8 also inhibited the proliferation and angiogenesis of tumor cells more than CU and tegafur. Finally, CA8 may exert anti-tumor effects through the activation of JNK pathway and inhibition of AKT pathway. These results suggest that CA8 is a safe and highly effective new drug for colon cancer treatment.

Trauma or degenerative diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) cause the loss of neurons or glial cells. Stem cell transplantation has become a vital strategy for CNS regeneration. It is necessary to effectively induce nonneurogenic stem cells to differentiate into neurogenic cell lineages because of the limited source of neurogenic stem cells, relatively difficult cultivation, and ethical issues. Previous studies have found that dental stem cells can be used for transplantation therapy. The aim of this study was to explore a better inductive mode and time point for dental stem cells to differentiate into neural-like cells and evaluate a better candidate cell. In this study, dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs), dental papilla stem cells (DPSCs), and stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) were cultivated in five different modes. The proliferation ability, morphology, and expression of neural marker genes were analyzed. Results showed that DFSCs showed a higher proliferation potential. The proliferation was decreased after cultivation in chemical inductive medium as cultivation modes 3 and 5. The cells could present neural-like cell morphology after cultivation with human epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor-basic (bFGF) as cultivation modes 4 and 5. The vast majority of DFSCs gene expression levels in mode 4 on the third day was upregulated significantly. In conclusion, our data suggested that different dental stem cells exhibited different neural differentiation potentials. DFSCs might be the better candidate cell type. Furthermore, cultivation mode 4 and timing of the third day may promote differentiation into neurogenic cell lineages more effectively before transplantation to treat neurological diseases.

ABSTRACT Modification of the active layer is an effective method to improve the separation performance of the thin-film composite forward osmosis (FO) membranes. In this paper, the dendrimer polyamidoamine (PAMAM) was in-situ integrated into the polyamide (PA) active layer via the interfacial polymerization. The separation performance results showed that the addition of PAMAM significantly improved the separation water flux of the modified FO membrane by 1.7 times, and the reverse salt flux was almost unchanged. In addition, the removal efficiency of the modified FO membrane for heavy metal ions was enhanced, with the rejection rates of various heavy metal ions all higher than 99.6%, and the corresponding water flux was also significantly enhanced. The PAMAM integrated with the active layer contained a large number of hydrophilic segments and terminal amine groups, which in situ enhanced the hydrophilicity and permeability of the active layer, and further improved the removal of heavy metal ions based on the coordination and electrostatic repulsion effects. The purpose of this paper is to provide a feasible way to improve the practical application performance of the FO membranes.

Black phosphorus (BP) has been highly regarded as a favourable candidate for fast-charging anode applications owing to its high theoretical capacity and advantageous charge–discharge platform. However, BP faces challenges related to compromised electrochemical performance resulting from an unstable solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) and substantial volumetric expansion. This study proposes the engineering of an inorganic-dense SEI on the surface of BP-C through the strategic incorporation of lithium fluoride (LiF). The presence of LiF in the system preferentially promotes LiPF 6 adsorption from the electrolyte, facilitating the in-situ formation of a lithium-enriched inorganic SEI film on the BP-C particulate surfaces. This strategic formation effectively mitigates subsequent electrolytic decomposition, accommodates volumetric expansion, and substantially improves the rate capability and cycling stability of the system. Consequently, the BP-LiF-C electrode demonstrates high initial coulombic efficiency of 86.8 % and maintains a steady capacity of 926.1 mAh g −1 over 700 cycles at 2000 mA g −1 . Moreover, when paired with a LiFePO 4 cathode, the full cell exhibits long cycling stability, retaining 98.6 % of its capacity after 500 cycles at 2000 mA g −1 , and performs at high rate. Therefore, utilising LiF to modulate the interfacial architecture of BP-based electrode composites provide notable guidance to enhance energy storage systems.

A methacrylate monolith was prepared inside a fused silica capillary column by microwave irradiation using an ionic liquid (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) as the porogenic solvent. Baseline separation of the model analytes, including thiourea, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and propylbenzene, was achieved by capillary liquid chromatography, with the lowest theoretical plate height of 26.83 µm for benzene. In addition, we also investigated the effects of the acetonitrile content in the mobile phase, flow rate on retention time, resolution and total porosity. The morphology of methacrylate monolith was studied by scanning electron microscopy.

A liquid sampling-atmospheric pressure afterglow microplasma ionization (LS-APAG) source is presented for the first time, which is embedded with both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure afterglow microplasma ionization (APAG) techniques. This ion source is capable of analyzing compounds with diverse molecule weights and polarities. An unseparated mixture sample was detected as a proof-of-concept, giving complementary information (both polarities and non-polarities) with the two ionization modes. It should also be noted that molecular mass can be quickly identified by ESI with clean and simple spectra, while the structure can be directly studied using APAG with in-source oxidation. The ionization/oxidation mechanism and applications of the LS-APAG source have been further explored in the analysis of nonpolar alkanes and unsaturated fatty acids/esters. A unique [M + O – 3H]+ was observed in the case of individual alkanes (C5–C19) and complex hydrocarbons mixture under optimized conditions. Moreover, branched alkanes generated significant in-source fragments, which could be further applied to the discrimination of isomeric alkanes. The technique also facilitates facile determination of double bond positions in unsaturated fatty acids/esters due to diagnostic fragments (the acid/ester-containing aldehyde and acid oxidation products) generated by on-line ozonolysis in APAG mode. Finally, some examples of in situ APAG analysis by gas sampling and surface sampling were given as well.
