Pinus massoniana needles, a traditional herb, were applied to prevent hair loss in China. Studies available mainly focused on pine needle flavonoids with various biological activities. However, there has been no pharmacokinetics study of the flavonoids from Pinus needles extract. A selective and sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was developed to simultaneously quantify taxifolin, quercetin and catechin in rat plasma. To separate the three constituents, an Agilent Extend-C18 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) was used with a mobile phrase of (A) 0.1% formic acid and (B) acetonitrile. The analytes were measured by multiple reaction monitoring in the negative ionization mode. There was good linearity in the established UHPLC-MS/MS method, with a coefficient of determination (r2) of >0.99. The accuracy, intra-day and inter-day precision and recovery were all satisfactory and these 3 compounds were stable under the tested conditions. The validated method in this study was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study in healthy rats after oral and transdermal administration of Pinus needles extract. The results could provide further research foundation for pine needle extract as external preparations.

Degradable long-chain aliphatic polyesters are promising alternatives to polyolefins. The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ω-pentadecalactone (PDL) enables the synthesis of aliphatic polyesters with melting temperature close to low-density polyethylene (LDPE). However, this ROP reaction is of great challenge because of low ring strain of the PDL monomer. The occurrence of intra- and intermolecular transesterification reactions during ROP made it difficult to prepare well-defined block copolyesters for advanced properties. In this context, cyclic trimeric phosphazene base (CTPB) in combination with benzyl alcohol (BnOH) was proved to be an efficient initiator system for ROP of PDL, showing an excellent polymerization rate (TOF up to 600 h–1) at 80 °C. Well-defined diblock copolyesters, i.e., PPDL-b-PLLA, can be easily synthesized by sequential addition of PDL and l-lactide (L-LA). In contrast, sequential addition of PDL and ε-caprolactone (CL) or δ-valerolactone (VL) only led to the random copolyesters under the same conditions. On the other hand, CTPB is an inherent tribasic superbase and can be partially neutralized to decrease its basicity for better control over active lactones such as CL and VL. Hence, we introduced 0.33–1.0 equiv of benzoic acid (PhCOOH) relative to CTPB and demonstrated that it can diminish the transesterification during ROP of CL or VL. Based on this strategy, PPDL-b-PCL or PPDL-b-PVL diblock copolyesters were successfully prepared by sequential addition of monomers of CL or VL after ROP of PDL. The block copolyester structures were confirmed by the 13C NMR spectroscopy and DSC characterizations.

Wholegrain brown rice (WBR) with significantly enhanced quality attributes has been recently achieved after ultra-high pressure (UHP) processing, but the process-induced changes in physicochemical parameters following subsequent storage for UHP-treated WBR are scarcely documented. So this work was designed to investigate the effects of UHP treatments (0.1–450 MPa/10 min) on chemical composition, microstructure, and the changes in chemical reactions during storage (20 days/30 °C) as indicated by volatile profiling, color development, and antioxidant activities for WBR grains , compared to high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) and germination (GER) pretreatments. Results showed that significant variation in physicochemical properties was caused by both processing approaches and storage duration. Color changes ( a *, b *, L *, and Δ E ) were slightly noticeable after storage for all WBR samples, and UHP-treated grains represented clearly visible browning reactions . In addition, hierarchically clustered heatmap suggested that volatile fingerprinting could be preliminarily separated according to different pretreatments and storage duration. After immediate treatments, total antioxidant activities presented a decrease by 14–28% for all treated grains compared to the unprocessed samples. Within storage process, GER and HIU samples showed steadily declining trends for antioxidant activities whereas a fluctuation was observed in UHP-treated grains. Besides, samples treated by 350/450 MPa maintained more antioxidants (91–102%) than the control (83–87%), GER (64–76%) and HIU (76–88%) samples at the end of storage. Multivariate analysis revealed a close relationship between color changes and antioxidant activity. These results indicated the necessity of a complete evaluation for possible processing effects on physicochemical and nutritional characteristics of WBR grains within the entire process extending immediate treatments to its prolonged storage and consumption, in order to achieve better quality control using the optimized processing parameters. Industrial relevance The selected emerging techniques including UHP, HIU and GER allow the acquisition of WBR products with improved texture and cooking properties as well as the enrichment of bioactive components. Nevertheless, the processed WBR grains must be subjected to a storage process before consumption. A more comprehensive understanding of the effects of newly-developed techniques on quality characteristics of WBR grains contributes to better control of products quality, particularly extending from immediate effects to the prolonged storage.

D-Allose, a rare sugar, has gained significant attention not only as a low-calorie sweetener but also for its anticancer, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and other pharmaceutical properties. Despite its potential, achieving high-level biosynthesis of D-allose remains challenging due to inefficient biocatalysts, low conversion rates, and the high cost of substrates. Here, we explored the food-grade coexpression of Blautia produca D-allulose 3-epimerase (Bp-DAE) and Bacillus subtilis L-rhamnose isomerase (BsL-RI) within a single cell using B. subtilis WB800N as the host. Using this system, D-allose was synthesized via a simple, cost-effective, one-pot enzymatic process, employing whole cells as catalysts and D-fructose as the substrate. The system exhibited optimal activity at 65 °C, pH 8.5, with 1 mM Mn2+ and 20 g/L of whole-cell dry weight. Initial production reached 12.5 g/L D-allose with a 12.5% yield from 100 g/L D-fructose. Optimization of dual promoter combinations enhanced production, achieving 15.0, 29.1, and 43.2 g/L D-allose from 100, 200, and 300 g/L D-fructose, with yields of 15.00, 14.55, and 14.40%, respectively. This D-allose production biocatalyst offers a scalable and economically viable platform for the industrial production of rare sugar.

Herein, nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) encapsulated CoP hollow spheres are designed and prepared through a sodium L-aspartate assisted carbonization-oxidation-phosphorization route. Experimental and theoretical analysis unveil that the encapsulating of NC results in improved electric conductivity and enhanced electrolyte wettability. Particularly, an interfacial charge redistribution induces the establishment of local electric field at the CoP/NC interface, which leads to a decrease in surface OH – adsorption energies, an enhancement in charge transfer efficiency between OH – and active materials, and a reduction in OH – diffusion energy barriers. Thus, the CoP@NC electrode materials demonstrate enhanced capacity values (998C g −1 at 2 A g −1 and 640C g −1 at 20 A g −1 ) and cyclic stability (a capacity retention of 92.7 % after 5000 cycles). Moreover, three-dimensional macroporous N-doped carbon foams (MNCFs) are prepared through a facile and eco-friendly strategy using sodium L-aspartate as N-containing carbon source. Such MNCFs possess large surface area, enhanced electrical conductivity, and high-efficiency mass and ion transport, thus achieving specific capacitances of up to 426F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 325F g −1 at 10 A g −1 . Furthermore, the fabricated CoP@NC||MNCFs hybrid supercapacitor device delivers an energy density of up to 75.1 Wh kg −1 at 800 W kg −1 , and demonstrates a capacity retention of 93.8 % after 5000 cycles. Our work not only provides valuable insights but also opens new avenues for designing and constructing advanced electrode materials for high-efficiency energy storage applications.

In this study, a L-cysteine-functionalized carbon-coated magnetic nanocomposite (CoFe2O4/C@Cys) was effectively synthesized and employed as an adsorbent in effervescent tablet-assisted dispersive solid-phase microextraction (ET-DSPM) for enrichment of heavy metals (Fe(III) and Zn(II)). The as-prepared composites were extensively characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The influence of various factors on the extraction efficiency of heavy metals was methodically examined in this study. After quickly transferring the effervescence tablet into the aqueous sample, the effervescent agent (sodium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium carbonate) simultaneously reacted and produced carbon dioxide (CO2). The in situ produced CO2 facilitated the dispersion of nanoparticles in the aqueous sample and significantly enhanced the extraction efficiency. Under the optimal parameters, the results showed that the CoFe2O4/C@Cys-ET-DSPM method displayed superior analytical performance for quantification of two heavy metals in milk samples with a preconcentration factor of 20, limits of detection (LODs) of 0.10–0.12 μg kg−1, recoveries of 77.1–101.7% and RSDs of 1.1–7.0%, respectively. The one-step extraction approach combined with an atomic absorption spectrometer exhibits promising potential for application in field analysis.

Polygonum orientale L . is a traditional Chinese medicine having extensive pharmacological activities including antimyocardial ischemia (MI) injury properties. Isoorientin, orientin, vitexin, quercitrin, astragalin and protocatechuic acid are the main compounds in P. orientale extract. The aim of this study was to establish an ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of the content of these compounds in urine, feces and bile samples simultaneously and application of the method in a comparative excretion study in normal and MI model rats after oral administration of P. orientale extract. Chromatographic seperation was conducted on an Agilent Eclipse Plus C 18 column with the mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid–acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid–water. Negative ion multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantification. The six compounds had good linearity ( r ≥ 0.9921) and acceptable accuracy ranging from 10.10 to −5.82% The relative standard deviations of within-day precision and inter-day precision were <10.45 and 13.44%, respectively. The extraction recovery of the six analytes ranged from 80.31 to 101.47% and the matrix effect was 82.56–102.88%, indicating that the preparations of sample collected form urine, feces and bile were stable throughout analysis. The excretion amount of the six analytes increased in both normal and MI model rats’ urine, feces and bile in a 24 h period and became stable between 36 and 48 h after administration. The total excretion rate of six compounds was <5% in urine, feces and bile of normal and MI model rats. The excretion peak period for all compounds in MI rats was slower than that in normal rats. This excretion study provides insights for further application and research on P. orientale .

This research was to evaluate the effects of locust bean gum (LBG) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) active coatings supplemented with Melissa officinalis L. essential oil (MOEO) nanoemulsions to extend the shelf life of sea bass ( Lateolabrax japonicus ) fillets during refrigerated storage at 4 °C. The results indicated that the active coatings could delay the increase in microbiological, pH, and K value of sea bass fillets. At the same time, the active coatings markedly depressed the off-flavor compounds productions such as the trimethylamine (TMA), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), hypoxanthine (Hx), hypoxanthine riboside (HxR) and reduced free amino acids (FAAs) accumulation during refrigerated storage. 24 volatile compounds were identified and the active coatings treated significantly reduced the fishy flavor compounds, such as 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 3-methylbutanol, 2-methylbutanol, hexanal, and 1-octen-3-one. The shelf life of uncoated sea bass was 6 days, and sea bass treated with CMCS/LBG, CMCS/LBG-0.5%MOEO, CMCS/LBG-1%MOEO and CMCS/LBG-2%MOEO were 6, 9, 12 and 15 days, respectively, which suggested that the active coatings were a potential option in maintaining the quality of sea bass during refrigerated storage.

Developing non-precious metal catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical for Zn–air batteries. Herein, using NaCl and ammonium oxalate as templates to prepare a hierarchical porous Fe–N–C catalyst using an inorganic salt melting strategy is proposed. The prepared Fe–N–C-x catalysts have a hierarchical porous structure that increases the specific surface area, improves the exposure of a number of active sites and enhances the chance of contacting active sites. The structure change of a leaf-shaped zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) during high-temperature pyrolysis was used to self-catalyze the growth of carbon nanotube structures, forming a structure of carbon nanotubes including Fe nanoparticles to provide additional active sites and reduce the aggregation of metal particles. From the perspective of economy and electrochemical performance, it is found that when the addition amount of NaCl and ammonium oxalate respectively is 2 g, the electrochemical performance of the ORR, OER and Zn–air batteries is better, and the preparation cost of the catalyst is more affordable. This strategy of forming hierarchical porous Fe–N–C catalysts by self-catalytic growth of Fe, N co-doped CNTs using inorganic salts provides a new design idea for the preparation of new hierarchical porous electrocatalysts.

The reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and Chitosan (CS) hybrid matrix RGO-CS were coated onto the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface, then, poly- l -lysine films (PLL) were prepared by electropolymerization with cyclic voltammetry (CV) method to prepare RGO-CS/PLL modified glassy carbon electrode (RGO-CS/PLL/GCE) for the simultaneous electrochemical determination of heavy metal ions Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II). Combining the advantageous features of RGO and CS, RGO and CS are used together because the positively charged CS can interact with the negatively changed RGO to prevent their aggregation. Furthermore, CS has many amino groups along its macromolecular chains and possessed strongly reactive with metal ions. Moreover, PLL modified electrodes have good stability, excellent permselectivity, more active sites and strong adherence to electrode surface, which enhanced electrocatalytic activity . The RGO-CS/PLL/GCE was characterized voltammetrically using redox couples (Fe(CN) 6 3−/4− ), complemented with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) has been used for the detection of Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II). The detection limit of RGO-CS/PLL/GCE toward Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) is 0.01 μg L −1 , 0.02 μg L −1 and 0.02 μg L −1 , respectively. The electrochemical parameters that exert influence on deposition and stripping of metal ions, such as supporting electrolytes , pH value, deposition potential, and deposition time, were carefully studied.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a severe cardiovascular event arising from vascular thrombosis, causing cardiomyocyte fatality. Neovascularization, facilitated by Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), is a crucial therapy that delivers oxygen and nutrients to the surviving myocardium. After MI, a substantial influx of macrophages of the inflammatory phenotype infiltrates the infarcted myocardium. these macrophages secrete factors that exacerbate myocardial injury and orchestrate neovascular regression. A biomimetic nano-buffer system was developed in this study, consisting of VEGF-encapsulated nanoparticles coated with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC)-modified macrophage membrane. These nanoparticles accumulate at the infarcted myocardium by exploiting the macrophage membrane's biomimetic inflammation chemotaxis. It effectively neutralizes detrimental factors in the infarcted myocardium while simultaneously enabling the controlled release of VEGF nanoparticles to promote angiogenesis within the affected tissue. What sets our research apart is the profound impact of the nano-buffer on macrophages, accomplished by its efficient scavenging of reactive oxygen species. This action triggers a vital response—the secretion of PDGF by macrophages—which significantly enhances the maturation of nascent blood vessels. The cumulative effect of these actions creates an exceptionally favorable milieu, fostering neovascularization. This study highlights the potential of the nano-buffer system in treating MI.

The uptake, translocation, and transformation of 2,2′,4,4′-tetra brominated diphenyl ether (BDE-47) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were comprehensively investigated by hydroponic experiments using compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) and transcriptome analysis. The results indicated that BDE-47 was quickly adsorbed on epidermis of wheat roots and then absorbed in roots via water and anion channels as well as an active process dependent on energy. A small fraction of BDE-47 in roots was subjected to translocation acropetally, and an increase of δ13C values in shoots than roots implied that BDE-47 in roots had to cross at least one lipid bilayer to enter the vascular bundle via transporters. In addition, accompanied by the decreasing concentrations, δ13C values of BDE-47 showed the increasing trend with time in shoots, indicating occurrence of BDE-47 transformation. OH-PBDEs were detected as transformation products, and the hydroxyl group preferentially substituted at the ortho-positions of BDE-47. Based on transcriptome analysis, genes encoding polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)-metabolizing enzymes, including cytochrome P450 enzymes, nitrate reductases, and glutathione S-transferases, were significantly upregulated after exposure to BDE-47 in shoots, further evidencing BDE-47 transformation. This study first reported the stable carbon isotope fractionation of PBDEs during translocation and transformation in plants, and application of CSIA and transcriptome analysis allowed systematically characterize the environmental behaviors of pollutants in plants.
