To demonstrate the influence of core-shell structure of microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (MCAPPs) on the flame-resistant and smoke inhibition efficiency of polymer composites, four kinds of MCAPPs with unilaminar or bistratal shells were fabricated and used to fabricate flame retarded Poly (butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) composites. The MCAPP with cross-linked β-cyclodextrin as outer layer (MFAPP-CD 1 ) exhibited the highest flame-resistant efficiency. Accordingly, 75P/25MFAPP-CD 1 showed the highest char residue and densest char layer, also the lowest pHRR and THR, decreasing by 77.4 and 76.9% compared with PBAT, respectively. Meanwhile, the lowest SPR and TSP also demonstrated its excellent smoke inhibition effect due to the weakened catalytic effect of Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) on carbonization agent. As a result, a LOI value (33.2%) and UL-94 V0 rating could be achieved. A reasonable core-shell structure could improve the carbon forming capacity and reduce the release of volatiles during combustion. Polyhydroxy carbonization agent should be designed as the outer layer of bistratal MCAPP. Graphical Abstract

Simple and sensitive detection of cardiac biomarkers is of great significance for early diagnosis and prevention of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Here, a ratiometric fluorescent nanohybrids probe (AuNCs-QDs) was synthesized through the coupling of bovine serum albumin-functionalized gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) to realize simple and sensitive detection of cardiac biomarker myoglobin (Mb). The AuNCs-QDs probe shows pink fluorescence under UV light, with two emission peaks at 468 nm and 630 nm belonging to QDs and AuNCs, respectively. Importantly, the presence of Mb caused fluorescence quenching of the blue-emitting QDs, thereby inhibiting the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process between QDs and AuNCs, and reducing the fluorescence intensity ratio (F 468 /F 630 ) of AuNCs-QDs probe effectively. As the concentration of Mb increases, the ratiometric fluorescent probe also exhibits a visible fluorescence color change. The detection limit was as low as 4.99 μg/mL, and the response of the probe to Mb showed a good linear relationship up to 0.52 mg/mL. Moreover, the probe has excellent specificity for Mb. Besides, the AuNCs-QDs has been applied to detect Mb of urine samples. More importantly, we also developed an AuNCs-QDs probe modified smartphone-aided paper-based strip for on-site monitoring of Mb. As far as we know, this is the first report of a smartphone-aided paper-based strip for on-site quick monitoring of Mb, which provides a useful approach for AMI biomarker monitoring and may can be extended to other medical diagnostics.

In terms of nanofiltration (NF) membrane development, the properties of membrane substrates and thin-film composite (TFC) structures have become an important factor to determine the separation performances of NF membrane. In this paper, the method of interfacial polymerization assisted by spacer spraying was used to construct the striped structure at nanometer scale. Nanoscale striped structure was prepared successfully on PPTA (poly( p -phenylene terephthamide)) NF surface with 1.3 g/L of UiO-66-NH 2 in the aqueous phase, and the morphology gradually changed to “point shaped” structure when 2.6 g/L of UiO-66-NH 2 in the aqueous phase. The optimized PPTA/UiO-66-NH 2 NF (PU4) membranes were used for dye/salt separation of methylene blue (MB). Compared with the nascent PPTA NF membranes, it showed a higher MB rejection rate of 98.6%, along with permeation flux of 19.79 L/m 2 \(\cdot\) h \(\cdot\) MPa. The salt separation order of the PU4 membrane was Na 2 SO 4 > MgSO 4 > MgCl 2 > NaCl. The rejection rates were 96.3%, 85.4%, 53.2%, and 18.4%, respectively. Under strong acid and alkali conditions, the separation performance was rejected 86.5%, better under alkaline conditions. More importantly, after a six-time recycle, the PU4 membrane showed no significant change in separation performance, suggesting its excellent stability. The novel strategy in this study provided an approach to develop advanced UiO-66-NH 2 membranes toward sustainable molecular separation in environmental applications. Graphical abstract

High concentration of H 2 S in acidic natural gas will lead to poisoning of catalysts for hydrogen production by methane steam reforming, thus limiting the further use of natural gas. Reforming CH 4 by H 2 S can be considered as an alternative route to hydrogen production from methane. This process not only achieves the removal of H 2 S but also obtains chemical raw material CS 2 and clean energy H 2 . By impregnating the Mo source on SiO 2 treated with hydrogen peroxide and then using the catalyst in the CH 4 /H 2 S reforming reaction, we surprisingly found that the conversion rate of CH 4 and H 2 S increased from 28 and 32% to 34% and 43%, respectively, after hydrogen peroxide treatment. The H 2 production rate and the yield of CS 2 increased from 20 mmolH 2 /(g Mo *min) and 52% to 30 mmolH 2 /(g Mo *min) and 65%, respectively. Combining with characterization methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR), 1 H-based solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H MAS NMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectra (RS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we found that the hydroxyl concentration of the support increased after hydrogen peroxide treatment, which led to the strengthening of the force between the metal and the support, which was easy to form low-level and small-size MoS 2 , exposing more active sites, and further improving the catalytic activity. This method provides a new idea for hydrogen production by CH 4 /H 2 S reforming and the development of high-performance MoS 2 -based catalysts.

Mucosal immunity plays a significant role in the first-line defense against viruses transmitted and infected through the respiratory system, such as SARS-CoV-2. However, the lack of effective and safe adjuvants currently limits the development of COVID-19 mucosal vaccines. In the current study, we prepare an intranasal vaccine containing cationic crosslinked carbon dots (CCD) and a SARS-CoV-2 antigen, RBD-HR with spontaneous antigen particlization. Intranasal immunization with CCD/RBD-HR induces high levels of antibodies with broad-spectrum neutralization against authentic viruses/pseudoviruses of Omicron-included variants and protects immunized female BALB/c mice from Omicron infection. Despite strong systemic cellular immune response stimulation, the intranasal CCD/RBD-HR vaccine also induces potent mucosal immunity as determined by the generation of tissue-resident T cells in the lungs and airway. Moreover, CCD/RBD-HR not only activates professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs), dendritic cells, but also effectively targets nasal epithelial cells, promotes antigen binding via sialic acid, and surprisingly provokes the antigen-presenting of nasal epithelial cells. We demonstrate that CCD is a promising intranasal vaccine adjuvant for provoking strong mucosal immunity and might be a candidate adjuvant for intranasal vaccine development for many types of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

The development of modern infrared detection technology has increased the possibility that military targets will be identified. Therefore, the task of protecting these targets is urgent extremely. The infrared stealth materials should be versatile to achieve the performance requirements of different applications and should be sustainable to achieve environmental friendliness. In order to solve this problem, an antimony doped tin oxide/silver/bamboo fibers (ATO-Ag-BFs) composite bamboo fabrics with multi-functional properties including infrared protection and antibacterial and hydrophobic properties were developed by the combination of ATO loading, chemical deposition, and hot press process. The ATO-Ag-BFs fabrics possessed plasmon resonance absorption properties of near-infrared light, which was attributed to the formation of Schottky junction by direct contact between Ag and ATO nanoparticles. The resulting ATO-Ag-BFs shows the infrared emissivity as low as 0.68 in the 8–14 μm thermal imaging band, which allowed the target to be blended adequately into environmental background. In addition, ATO-Ag-BFs treated with n-hexadecyl mercaptan exhibited remarkable hydrophobic properties with a water contact angle (WCA) of 147.7° compared to the non-hydrophobic treated ATO-Ag-BFs, which increased by 273.9%. Especially, the combination of Ag and ATO nanoparticles endowed bamboo fiber fabrics with outstanding antibacterial properties, with 100% inhibition of both Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ). Overall, the multi-functional ATO-Ag-BFs based on bamboo fibers developed in this study can be applied in the field of wearable infrared and thermal radiation shielding to meet the requirements for concealment in harsh environments, proving that it is a tremendous potential candidate for infrared stealth materials.

Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B isolated from vegetable soil was highly adaptable to Zinc (Zn) and Cadmium (Cd). Cd, but not Zn, adversely affected the total protein spectrum and functional groups of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B. Up to 31 metabolic pathways and 216 metabolites of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B were significantly changed by Zn and Cd (Zn&Cd). Some metabolic pathways and metabolites related to functional groups of sulfhydryl (-SH) and amine (-NH-) metabolism were enhanced by Zn&Cd addition. The cellulase activity of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B was up to 8.58 U mL −1 , increased to 10.77 U mL −1 in Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B + 300 mg L −1 Zn, and maintained at 6.13 U mL −1 in Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B + 50 mg L −1 Cd. The vegetables’ cellulose content was decreased by 25.05–52.37% and 40.28–70.70% under the action of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B and Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B + 300 mg L −1 Zn. Those results demonstrated that Zn could significantly enhance cellulase activity and biodegradability of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B to vegetable cellulose. Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B can survive in vegetable soil accumulated with Zn&Cd. The tolerance concentration and adsorption capacity of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B to Zn were up to 300 mg L −1 and 56.85%, indicating that Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B acting as a thermostability biological agent had an essential advantage in accelerating the degradation of discarded vegetables by Zn and were beneficial to maintain organic matter content of vegetable soil.

The hepatotoxicity of regorafenib is one of the most noteworthy concerns for patients, however the mechanism is poorly understood. Hence, there is a lack of effective intervention strategies. Here, by comparing the target with sorafenib, we show that regorafenib-induced liver injury is mainly due to its nontherapeutic target Eph receptor A2 (EphA2). EphA2 deficiency attenuated liver damage and cell apoptosis under regorafenib treatment in male mice. Mechanistically, regorafenib inhibits EphA2 Ser897 phosphorylation and reduces ubiquitination of p53 by altering the intracellular localization of mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) by affecting the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/MDM2 axis. Meanwhile, we found that schisandrin C, which can upregulate the phosphorylation of EphA2 at Ser897 also has protective effect against the toxicity in vivo. Collectively, our findings identify the inhibition of EphA2 Ser897 phosphorylation as a key cause of regorafenib-induced hepatotoxicity, and chemical activation of EphA2 Ser897 represents a potential therapeutic strategy to prevent regorafenib-induced hepatotoxicity.

Amine ligand, as one of the essential components of the Ag–amine complex, is necessary to reduce the sintering temperature and time of conductive inks. Herein, we report the facile preparation of hybrid amine conductive silver ink, mainly composed of silver oxalate–hybrid amine complex and methanol–acetone solvent. The synergistic effect of long-chain and short-chain amines enhances the uniformity of silver nanoparticles in the silver film. A uniformly conductive silver film is obtained by spin-coating as-prepared ink on the polyimide film, followed by thermal sintering. Then, the influence of butylamine content and sintering parameters on the physical properties and microstructure of silver film is systematically investigated. The resistivity of silver films, sintered at 170 °C for only 20 min, is found to be 6.71 μΩ·cm, which is four times higher than bulk silver. In addition, silver films after bending and adhesion test exhibit low resistivity and excellent adhesion. These results indicate that the hybrid amine conductive silver ink can provide promising opportunities for fabricating highly conductive flexible printed electronics at low temperatures in short times.

Enriching the library of chiral plasmonic nanoparticles that can be chemically mass-produced will greatly facilitate the applications of chiral plasmonics in areas ranging from constructing optical metamaterials to sensing chiral molecules and activating immune cells. Here we report on a halide-assisted differential growth strategy that can direct the anisotropic growth of chiral Au nanoparticles with tunable sizes and diverse morphologies. Anisotropic Au nanodisks are employed as seeds to yield triskelion-shaped chiral nanoparticles with threefold rotational symmetry and high dissymmetry factors. The averaged scattering g -factors of the l - and d -nanotriskelions are as large as 0.57 and − 0.49 at 650 nm, respectively. The Au nanotriskelions have been applied in chiral optical switching devices and chiral nanoemitters. We also demonstrate that the manipulation of the directional growth rate enables the generation of a variety of chiral morphologies in the presence of homochiral ligands.

The development of a heat stabilizer with good thermal stability, plasticizing performance, and migration resistance for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is still a notable challenge. In this work, two bio-based heat stabilizers, epoxidized cardanol oleate (ECD-OA) and epoxidized cardanol myristate (ECD-MA), were designed and synthesized with different lengths of their alkyl chains and different epoxy contents to provide outstanding compatibility with PVC. After confirming the chemical structures of ECD-OA and ECD-MA by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, the thermal stabilizing effects of both epoxidized cardanol esters were compared with those of the traditional CaSt 2 /ZnSt 2 stabilizer and bio-based epoxidized soybean oil. Then, the effects of four different heat stabilizers on the mechanical, thermal, rheological, and optical properties of PVC films were fully studied. The results suggested that the ECD-MA showed the best thermal stability, and the PVC/30DOP/5ECD-MA film did not turn black after 2 h of thermal aging at 200 °C. In addition, the ECD-MA had good compatibility with PVC, and it had a synergistic plasticizing effect, which caused the film to have a high ductility and tensile strength (320.1% and 19.8 MPa, respectively).

Background and ObjectivesThe oral bioavailability of withangulatin A (WA) is low and may undergo first-pass metabolism because of the presence of two esters bonds. This study aimed to identify the hydrolysis behavior and mechanism of WA, thus enriching its structure-pharmacokinetic relationship.MethodsThe in vivo pharmacokinetic studies of WA in rats were first investigated, followed by in vitro assays including metabolic stability, phenotyping identification and metabolic kinetics assays. After screening out the responsible enzymes with higher catalytic capacity, molecular docking study was performed to demonstrate the interaction mode between WA and metabolic enzymes. Then, metabolites in human serum albumin (HSA) were identified by LC-TOF-MS/MS.ResultsIn rats, the oral bioavailability of WA was only 2.83%. In vitro, WA was hydrolyzed in both rat and human plasma and could not be inhibited by selective esterase inhibitors. Physiologic concentration of HSA not recombinant human carboxylesterases (rhCES) could significantly hydrolyze WA, and it had a similar hydrolytic capacity with human plasma to WA. Furthermore, WA could stably bind to HSA by forming hydrogen bonds with Lys199 and Arg410, accompanied by the metabolic reaction of the lactone ring opening.ConclusionThe study showed that WA underwent obvious hydrolysis in rat and human plasma, which implied a strong first-pass effect. Serum albumin rather than common esterases primarily contributed to the hydrolytic metabolism of WA in plasma.
