In this work, a series of Na (1- x ) Ca (1+ x ) Ga (1+ x ) Si (2- x ) O 7 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) ceramics were successfully prepared via the conventional solid-state reaction method, achieved the synergistic substitution of Ca 2+ for Na + and Ga 3+ for Si 4+ in NaCaGaSi 2 O 7 ceramic. The crystal structure evolution, microwave dielectric properties, and structure-performance relationships of the Na (1- x ) Ca (1+ x ) Ga (1+ x ) Si (2- x ) O 7 ceramics were systematically characterized by multiple analytical techniques including XRD Rietveld refinement, XPS, far-infrared spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations. The synergistic dual-ion substitution effectively optimized the microstructure of NaCaGaSi 2 O 7 -based ceramics, suppressed the formation of oxygen vacancy defects, and modulated the chemical bonding characteristics, thereby significantly improving the comprehensive microwave dielectric performances. Notably, the Na (1- x ) Ca (1+ x ) Ga (1+ x ) Si (2- x ) O 7 ( x = 0.7) ceramic achieved excellent comprehensive properties: ε r = 9.01, a high Q×f value of 31049 GHz, and a small negative τ f value of −13.36 ppm/°C. Furthermore, a high-gain dielectric patch antenna fabricated using the optimized ceramic substrate achieved a peak gain of 10.66 dBi and a maximum radiation efficiency of 85.68% at 13.63 GHz, verifying the great application potential of Na (1- x ) Ca (1+ x ) Ga (1+ x ) Si (2- x ) O 7 ceramics for Ku-band communication applications.

Aptamer-based sensors (aptasensors) have been extensively employed in biosensing and diagnostics. However, the broader application of aptasensors fabricated with DNA and RNA aptamers has been limited due to the intolerance of DNA and RNA to nucleases in biological fluids. A majority of sugar-modified nucleic acids, in particular 2’-F and 2’-OMe-modified nucleic acids, demonstrate a remarkable resistance to nuclease degradation and thus hold great potential in the development of more stable aptamers and aptasensors. In this work, employing enzymes including a laboratory-evolved polymerase for 2’-modified nucleic acids, we carried out systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) experiments to obtain 2’-F/OMe-RNA aptamers for Bacillus cereus 5/B/6 metallo-β-lactamase (B. cereus 5/B/6 MBL), a crucial marker of many penicillin-resistant strains. Three aptamers composed of 2’-OMe-A, 2’-F-U, 2’-F-C, and 2’-OMe-G nucleotides (Apt-FUC1, Apt-FUC2, and Apt-FUC3) have been obtained and systematically characterized. All of them exhibited excellent target binding affinities, with equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd ) values of 95.9, 70.0, and 81.3 nM, and outstanding biological stability. Combining FAM-labeled Apt-FUC1, Apt-FUC2, and Apt-FUC3 with graphene oxide (GO), which could quench the fluorescence of FAM, we successfully constructed three sensitive and biologically stable 2’-F/OMe-RNA aptasensors for B. cereus 5/B/6 MBL, with the limit of detection (LOD) values of 0.38, 0.27, and 0.29 nM. Moreover, these three aptasensors all demonstrated good specificity for target detection in biological samples. This work has established a streamlined strategy for generating stable 2’-F/OMe-RNA aptamers and aptasensors, which should broaden the application of sugar-modified nucleic acids in biosensing and diagnostics.

Combining multiple anions to design compounds with novel structures and excellent optical properties has become a hot research field. In this paper, a novel nitrate oxyfluoride, Hg3O2(NO3)F, has been obtained. Hg3O2(NO3)F features an unprecedented [(Hg3O2F)+]∞ cationic framework constructed by V-shaped HgO2 units and original HgO2F2 tetrahedra and with isolated NO3− anions balancing the charge. Hg3O2(NO3)F is the first nitrate oxyfluoride containing a d10 metal. Importantly, Hg3O2(NO3)F exhibits superior optical anisotropy with the calculated birefringence of Δn = 0.23 at 1064 nm. Based on the theoretical calculation analyses, the good optical anisotropy is mainly derived from the well-arranged V-shaped HgO2 units. This work proves that the strategy of introducing heteranions is effective for exploring high-performance optical materials.

Due to its excellent bone conductivity and drug adsorption as well as pH-responsive drug release property, hydroxyapatite (HAp) is widely used as a drug carrier in bone repair field. Here, we report for the first time a novel multi-functional polydopamine (PDA) coated Cu/F-codoped HAp (Cu/F-HAp-PDA) hollow microspheres . Both Cu 2+ and F - were successfully doped into the lattice of HAp and uniformly distributed in the shell of hollow microspheres through a one-step hydrothermal synthesis . Then PDA was coated homogeneously on the outer layer of Cu/F-HAp hollow microspheres. Both Cu/F-HAp and Cu/F-HAp-PDA samples displayed high drug loading efficiency and pH responsive drug release behavior. Moreover, the obtained Cu/F-HAp-PDA hollow microspheres exhibited excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and photothermal stability. The molecular dynamics simulations showed that PDA and HAp can form mutual binding mainly through Ca-O bonding, while doxorubicin (DOX) is mainly bound to PDA molecules through hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interaction.

Fluorinated hydroxyapatite-titanium dioxide coating (F-doped HA-TiO 2 ) was deposited in situ onto AZ31 Mg alloy using electrodeposition method. XRD and EDS confirmed the crystal structure and composition of the coating. SEM images showed that the F-doped HA-TiO 2 coating on the surface of AZ31 Mg alloy was extremely uniform and the thickness of coating was reflected by the cross-sectional image. Corrosion behavior of the coating modified Mg alloy was tested by electrochemical and immersion experiments. Compared to the corrosion current density ( I corr ) of the uncoated AZ31 Mg alloy in Hank’s solution, the I corr of F-doped HA-TiO 2 coating was decreased almost 4 orders. The coated AZ31 Mg alloy showed superior biocompatibility, which was strongly demonstrated by the amounts of cells increased in cell culture. The results of hemolysis tests also illustrated that the F-doped HA-TiO 2 coating met the requirements of biomedical materials.

Wearing surgical masks remains the most effective protective measure against COVID-19 before mass vaccination, but insufficient comfortability and low antibacterial/antiviral activities accelerate the replacement frequency of surgical masks, resulting in large amounts of medical waste. To solve this problem, we report new nanofiber membrane masks with outstanding comfortability and anti-pathogen functionality prepared using fluorinated carbon nanofibers/carbon fiber (F-CNFs/CF). This was used to replace commercial polypropylene (PP) nonwovens as the core layer of face masks. The through-plane and in-plane thermal conductivity of commercial PP nonwovens were only 0.12 and 0.20 W/m K, but the F-CNFs/CF nanofiber membranes reached 0.62 and 5.23 W/m K, which represent enhancements of 380% and 2523%, respectively. The surface temperature of the PP surgical masks was 23.9 ℃ when the wearing time was 15 min, while the F-CNFs/CF nanocomposite fibrous masks reached 27.3 ℃, displaying stronger heat dissipation. Moreover, the F-CNFs/CF nanofiber membranes displayed excellent electrical conductivity and produced a high-temperature layer that killed viruses and bacteria in the masks. The surface temperature of the F-CNFs/CF nanocomposite fibrous masks reached 69.2 ℃ after being connected to a portable power source for 60 s. Their antibacterial rates were 97.9% and 98.6% against E. coli and S. aureus , respectively, after being connected to a portable power source for 30 min.

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is the leading cause of chronic cerebral dysfunction syndrome with its complex pathological mechanisms involving cortical and hippocampal neuronal loss, white matter lesions, and neuroinflammation. I-C-F-6 is a septapeptide, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects. This study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of I-C-F-6 in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH)-induced neurological injury. C57BL/6 J mice were subjected to bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS), and BV2 microglia cells were induced with oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). In vivo, mice were divided randomly into four groups: Sham, BCAS, GBE (30 mg/kg), and I-C-F-6 (0.5 mg/kg). In vitro, microglia were divided randomly into four groups: control, OGD, I-C-F-6 (25 μg/mL), and Shikonin (800 nmol/L). Through LFB, TUNEL, and NeuN staining, we found that I-C-F-6 was able to mitigate myelin pathology and reduce the number of apoptotic neurons. Furthermore, immunofluorescence staining revealed that I-C-F-6 was able to reduce microglia clustering and downregulate NF-κB p65. We also observed a significant downregulation of M1 phenotype microglia signature genes, such as TNF-α, iNOS, and upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as Arg-1 and IL-10, indicating that I-C-F-6 may mainly reduce polarization towards the M1 phenotype in microglia. Notably, I-C-F-6 downregulated the expression of NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins IKK-β and NF-κB p65, as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and iNOS. In conclusion, I-C-F-6 can improve neurological damage, alleviate neuroinflammation, and inhibit microglia polarization to the M1 phenotype via the NF-κB signaling pathway.

A new Gd3+-containing borate Ba2Gd(BO3)2F has been successfully grown via the high-temperature solution method using BaF2-NaF-B2O3 flux. Ba2Gd(BO3)2F crystallizing in the orthorhombic space group Pnma is with lattice parameters a = 7.571(4) Å, b = 10.424(5) Å, c = 8.581(4) Å, α = β = γ = 90°, and Z = 2. Its three-dimensional framework was constructed from interesting pinwheel-like [Gd(BO3)F]∞ layers bridged by sharing [BO3]3–, which is different from the [Gd(BO3)]∞ layer in the model structure Ba2Gd(BO3)2Cl. The magnetic measurements indicated that Ba2Gd(BO3)2F has a larger magnetocaloric effect with −ΔSm,max = 27.82 J·kg–1·K–1at 2 K and 9 T than that of Ba2Gd(BO3)2Cl under the same conditions. Moreover, thermal stability, infrared spectrum (IR), and ultraviolet–visible-near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectrum were carried out to characterize the title compounds. The first-principles computations also looked into the electronic band structures, densities of states, and refractive indices.

The multifactorial nature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) calls for the development of multitarget agents addressing key pathogenic processes. A total of 26 Claulansine F–donepezil hybrids were designed and synthesized as multitarget drugs. Among these compounds, six compounds exhibited excellent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) 1.63–4.62 μM). Moreover, (E)-3-(8-(tert-Butyl)-3,3-dimethyl-3,11-dihydropyrano[3,2-a]carbazol-5-yl)-N-((1-(2-chlorobenzyl)piperidin-4-yl)methyl)acrylamide (6bd) exhibited better neuroprotective effects against OGD/R (oxygen–glucose deprivation/reoxygenation) than lead compound Claulansine F. Furthermore,6bdcould cross the blood–brain barrier in vitro. More importantly, compared to edaravone,6bdhad stronger free-radical scavenging activity. Molecular docking studies revealed that6bdcould interact with the catalytic active site of AChE. All of these outstanding in vitro results indicate6bdas a leading structure worthy of further investigation.Keywords:Alzheimer’s disease;Claulansine F–donepezil hybrids;AChE inhibitory activity;free-radical scavenging activity;neuroprotective effects

The molecular design and regulation has shown bright future for constructing smart molecular materials such as ferroelectrics, dielectric switches, electro-optic effect, and so forth. Here, by poly-H/F substitution in a simple organic-inorganic hybrid 2[CH2FCH2NH3]·[CdCl4], 1 (CH2FCH2NH3 = fluorine ethylamine cation), we obtained two novel hybrids, namely, 2[CHF2CH2NH3]·[CdCl4], 2 (CHF2CH2NH3 = 2,2′-difluorine ethylamine cation) and 2[CF3CH2NH3]·[CdCl4], 3 (CF3CH2NH3 = 2,2′,2″-trifluorine ethylamine cation). Further investigations show that compounds 1, 2, and 3 experience solid reversible phase transitions with temperatures at 294, 319, and 329 K respectively. These unique phase transitions were confirmed by their remarkable dielectric and heat anomalies around the phase transition temperatures. X-ray single-crystal diffraction analyses before and after the phase transitions show that the order–disorder motions of F atoms and the twist motions from the 2D [CdCl4]2– framework lead to these solid reversible phase transitions. Also, the Hirshfeld surface calculation of compounds 1, 2, and 3 suggests that the increasing ratio of the F···F interaction from the intermolecular interaction makes a major contribution for the substantial increase of their phase transition temperatures.

Exploiting efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) electroproduction by oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is highly desired in practical application. Herein, nitrogen- and fluoride-codoped carbon nanocages (NF-Cs) are successfully synthesized through a simple and scalable template method. With the aid of a porous structure, a large surface area, and the introduction of N and F atoms, NF-Cs show excellent electrocatalytic performance for H2O2 electroproduction in alkaline solution (pH 13) with a faradaic efficiency of 89.6% at very positive applied potential (0.74 V). In acid solution (pH 0.35), the faradaic efficiency of H2O2 electroproduction stably maintains at 85%–88% in the range of 0.4–0.72 V potential. The experimental and theoretical results reveal that the strong synergistic effect between the doped N and F atoms facilitate the H2O2 electroproduction through 2e ORR. That is, the doped N atoms promote O2 molecule adsorption on the catalyst surface, and the F atoms facilitate the desorption of the *OOH intermediate, which is the key factor for the NF-Cs efficiently catalyzing H2O2 electroproduction. These results provide beneficial references for reasonably designing effective carbon-based electrocatalysts for H2O2 electroproduction.
