Herein, the electrochemical sensing platform has been proposed based on metal-organic framework doped Au/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) composites to simultaneously detect the catechin and sunset yellow in tea beverage. The characterization reveals that the Au nanoparticles distribute well on/in conducting PEDOT, and the relatively few UIO-66 particles as the dopant intersperse the Au/PEDOT composites. The electrochemical test has been used to study the sensing properties toward catechin and sunset yellow simultaneous detection. The results show that the Au/PEDOT/MWCNT-CONH-UIO-66 performs a wide range of 0.03∼60 µM and 0.3∼40 µM, low detection limit as 0.01 μM / 0.15 μM towards catechin and sunset yellow simultaneous detection, respectively. Furthermore, the Au/PEDOT/MWCNT-CONH-UIO-66 possesses a wide linear detection range and high sensitivity for catechin and sunset yellow detection. Moreover, the Au/PEDOT/MWCNT-CONH-UIO-66 composite also has great stability and anti-interference ability. Finally, the sensing platform was applied to detect catechin and sunset yellow in the tea beverage compared with the high-performance liquid chromatography method. To the best of our knowledge, our work first reported the electrochemical sensing materials for catechin and sunset yellow simultaneous detection in food, which will provide a certain theoretical analysis and experimental experience for the preparation of materials used for catechin and sunset yellow simultaneous detection in food.

Novel enhancement-mode organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have been prepared by poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) de-doped polyethylenimine on the multi-walled carbon nanotube-modified viscose yarn. The fabricated devices exhibit low power consumption with a high transconductance of 6.7 mS, rapid response time < 2 s, and excellent cyclic stability. In addition, the device has washing durability and bending and long-term stability suitable for wearable applications. Biosensors based on enhancement-mode OECTs for the selective detection of adrenaline and uric acid (UA) are developed by using molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-functionalized gate electrodes. The detection limits of adrenaline and UA analysis are as low as 1 pM, with the linear ranges of 0.5 pM to 10 μM and 1 pM to 1 mM, respectively. Moreover, the sensor based on enhancement-mode transistors can efficiently amplify the current signals according to the modulation of the gate voltage. The MIP-modified biosensor has high selectivity in the presence of interferents and desirable reproducibility. Additionally, due to the wearable nature of the developed biosensor, this sensing tool has the capability of being integrated with fabrics. Therefore, it has successfully been applied in textiles for the determination of adrenaline and UA in artificial urine samples. The excellent recoveries and rsds are 90.22–109.05% and 3.97–6.94%, respectively. Ultimately, these sensitive, low-power, wearable, and dual-analyte sensors help to develop non-laboratory tools for early disease diagnosis and clinical research.

UV/H 2 O 2 process is increasingly used to degrade carbohydrates, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to fill this knowledge gap, focusing on mechanisms and energy consumption involved in hydroxyl radical (•OH)-mediated degradation of xylooligosaccharides (XOSs) in UV/H 2 O 2 system. Results showed that UV photolysis of H 2 O 2 generated large amounts of •OH radicals, and degradation kinetics of XOSs fitted with a pseudo-first-order model. Xylobiose (X 2 ) and xylotriose (X 3 ), main oligomers in XOSs, were attacked easier by •OH radicals. Their hydroxyl groups were largely converted to carbonyl groups and then carboxy groups . The cleavage rate of glucosidic bonds was slightly higher than that of pyranose ring, and exo -site glucosidic bonds were more easily cleaved than endo -site bonds. The terminal hydroxyl groups of xylitol were more efficiently oxidized than other hydroxyl groups of it, causing an initial accumulation of xylose . Oxidation products from xylitol and xylose included ketoses , aldoses , hydroxy acids and aldonic acids , indicating the complexity of •OH radical-induced XOSs degradation. Quantum chemistry calculations revealed 18 energetically viable reaction mechanisms, with the conversion of hydroxy-alkoxyl radicals to hydroxy acids being the most energetically favorable (energy barriers <0.90 kcal/mol). This study will provide more understanding of •OH radicals-mediated degradation of carbohydrates.

Purpose: Chondrocytes (CHs) in cartilage undergo several detrimental events during the development of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the mechanism underlying CHs regeneration involved in pathogenesis is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the underlying mechanism of regeneration of CHs involved in the pathological condition and the potential therapeutic strategies of cartilage repair. Methods and Materials: CHs were isolated from human cartilage in different OA stages and the high-resolution cellular architecture of human osteoarthritis was examined by applying single-cell RNA sequencing. The analysis of gene differential expression and gene set enrichment was utilized to reveal the relationship of cartilage regeneration and microtubule stabilization. Microtubule destabilizer (nocodazole) and microtubule stabilizer (docetaxel) treated-human primary CHs and rats cartilage defect model were used to investing the effects and downstream signaling pathway of microtubule stabilization on cartilage regeneration. Results: CHs subpopulations were identified on the basis of their gene markers and the data indicated an imbalance caused by an increase in the degeneration and disruption of CHs regeneration in OA samples. Interestingly, the CHs subpopulation namely CHI3L1 + CHs, was characterized by the cell regenerative capacity, stem cell potency and the activated microtubule (MT) process. Furthermore, the data indicated that MT stabilization was effective in promoting cartilage regeneration in rats with cartilage injury model by inhibiting YAP activity. Conclusion: These findings lead to a new understanding of CHs regeneration in the OA pathophysiology context and suggest that MT stabilization is a promising therapeutic target for OA and cartilage injury.

In this work, we report a controllable green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using chlorogenic acid (CGA) as the only reducing and stabilizing agent. The well-dispersed AuNPs are obtained due to the protection of CGA against aggregation. The resulting AuNPs are controllable in size and shape mainly by changing the molar ratio of HAuCl4 to CGA in reductive process. With an increase in CGA concentration, the average size of AuNPs increased, which resulted in different morphologies from spherical to flower-like shapes. The dropping speed of gold precursor is also found to influence the size of AuNPs in different trends. Additionally, the advantages of CGA for synergistic biological activities are demonstrated through the enhanced antioxidant activity of AuNPs with CGA for scavenging of DPPH radicals. The controllable size and shape of nanoparticles are potentially important in nanomedical application.

The success rate of dental implants is limited by peri-implant infection and insufficient osseointegration. Therefore, reducing the occurrence of peri-implantitis and promoting osseointegration are in demand. A roughened surface has commonly been applied to improve the osseointegration of implants, but it will accelerate the attachment of bacteria. We have developed novel antibiotic-decorated titanium (Ti) surfaces by the immobilization of dopamine and cefotaxime sodium (CS) simultaneously. Moreover, the surface roughness of the polydopamine (PDA)/CS coating was controlled by the changes in polymerization times as determined by atomic force microscopy. Then, all antibiotic-grafted Ti surfaces could effectively prevent the adhesion and proliferation of both Escherichia coli and Streptococcus mutans in comparison to the pristine control. For the culture and osteogenic differentiation of human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells (hUMSCs) on the substrate surface, PDA/CS coating with polymerization times less than 30 min showed acceptable biocompatibility, but the upregulation of marker genes and proteins was detected when the polymerization time was more than 30 min. Moreover, the best calcium deposition results were found in the 30 min PDA/CS group with or without the addition of osteogenic factors. Therefore, our PDA/CS coating with a polymerization time of 30 min holds great potential to design dental implants with dual bacteriostatic and osteogenic properties.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a versatile analytical separation method in the field of biochemistry. Although it has been proved that the relative molecular mass (Mr) of the polymers determines the threshold concentration of the entangled polymer solution, which will affect the separation performance of DNA molecules, there is still no report on the effect of Mron the separation performance of proteins. Herein, we have thoroughly performed the CE of proteins ranged from 14.3 kDa to 116 kDa in a mixed hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) solution. The mixed solution was obtained with various Mrincluding 90,000, 250,000, 720,000, and 1,300,000. Then, we found that the mixed polymer provided a high resolution for small protein molecules while increasing the efficiency of large ones. Results demonstrated that the migration time decreased if HEC (1,300,000) was mixed with the lower Mrone, and the mixed solution (1,300,000/250,000) offered the highest resolution. The resolution was negatively correlated with the electric field strength. Finally, we have employed the optimal electrophoretic conditions to separate proteins in human tears, and it showed that lysozyme, lipocalin, and lactoferrin from human tears were successfully resolved in the mixed HEC. Such work indicates that CE has the potential to be developed as a tool for the diagnosis of xerophthalmia, meibomian gland dysfunction, or other eye diseases.Keywords:capillary electrophoresis;protein separation;hydroxyethyl cellulose;relative molecular mass;flamingo

Development of excellent sensors to determine trace concentrations of rifampicin is of intense importance for medicine analysis and human health. Herein, a facile and green fluorescent probe was established for the determination of rifampicin by using folic acid protected copper nanoclusters (FA-Cu NCs). Many characterization methods were applied for the analysis of the as-prepared FA-Cu NCs including UV–visible absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), fluorescence lifetime and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The TEM image suggested that the as-prepared FA-Cu NCs were highly dispersed. The as-synthesized FA-Cu NCs emerged blue fluorescence under UV light and demonstrated maximum emission wavelength at 446 nm under the maximum excitation wavelength of 358 nm. After the addition of rifampicin, the FL intensities of FA-Cu NCs were uncommonly quenched. The related experimental data intimated that the quenching mechanisms were assumed to the inner filter effect (IFE) and static quenching. The as-proposed probe platform displayed an obvious linear relationship with rifampicin concentrations varying from 0.5 to 100 µM, and the corresponding detection limit (LOD) was 0.073 µM (S/N = 3). Finally, the as-established detection platform was successfully employed to analyze trace concentrations of rifampicin in real samples.

In this research, a novel insight was provided for oriented low-temperature S and N doping into graphene oxide (GO).Given the gradual concern in the high-temperature dependence of traditional annealing method for the oriented design of heteroatom doping, utilizing O 3 etching-assisted heteroatom doping can simultaneously resolve the problems of energy consumption and doping species design. In this research, with O 3 etching, 100 at.% marginal S (C-SO X -C) and 92 at.% graphitic N co-doped O 3 -S/NGO were successfully synthesized at annealing temperature of 200 °C. Characterization results showed that S and N doping via O 3 etching maintained the sheet-like structure of GO without much stacking (layer thickness of 4–5 nm). In addition, active defects were formed by O 3 etching and S/N atom doping to provide active center for catalytic reaction . The electrocatalytic degradation behavior proved that 100 % bisphenol A degradation efficiency could be achieved by O 3 -S/NGO within 30 min and that the main active species generated during the reaction were O 2 •− , 1 O 2 and active chlorine. The possible pathways of bisphenol A degradation were also determined to complete the discussion. This project was based on the environmental demand of organic pollution control and suggested an optimal preparation strategy for high-performance catalyst preparation and utilization.

In thermal conversion utilization, nitrogen-rich biomass such as waste wood-based panels will release a large amount of NOxinto the atmosphere, causing serious harm to the surroundings. By means of co-pyrolysis, N in waste wood-based panels can be fixed in chars instead of discharging into the atmosphere in the form of volatile matter, which can reduce NOxemission and lay a foundation for the preparation of nitrogen-rich carbon materials with high added value. As the most commonly used adhesive in the production of wood-based panels, urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive (UF) is the main nitrogen source in waste wood-based panels. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of glucose, ethyl maltol and 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (DMHF) on nitrogen migration and conversion during UF pyrolysis by adjusting the different proportions of model compounds and UF. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that ethyl maltol and DMHF had lower thermal stability and the pyrolysis process was concentrated in the range of 90–168 °C, which does not coincide with the mass loss temperature of UF. UF can promote the pyrolysis of these three model compounds at the initial stage to some extent. The elemental analysis showed that the N retention in co-pyrolysis chars increased in varying degrees with the increase of the addition of model compounds; the nitrogen retention in chars of glucose-UF, ethyl maltol-UF and DMHF-UF increased by 28.47%, 3.48% and 16.45% with the increase of the model compound content from 50% to 90%, respectively. The XPS results showed that the relative content of N-6 in chars increased with the increase of ethyl maltol content, and the relative content of N-5 in chars increased with the increased addition of DMHF. Glucose had little effect on the distribution of N-functional groups in chars.Keywords:wood;thermal conversion;model compounds;urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive;char;nitrogen migration and transformation

Purpose To assess the cellular and molecular effects of lidocaine on muscles/myoblasts.Methods Cultured myogenic precursor (C2C12) cells were treated with varying concentrations of lidocaine.Results Cell viability of C2C12 cells was inhibited by lidocaine in a concentration-dependent manner, with concentrations ≥0.08%, producing a dramatic reduction in cell viability. These ≥0.08% concentrations of lidocaine arrested cell cycles of C2C12 cells in the G0/G1 phase. Moreover, lidocaine inhibited cell migration and myogenic processes in C2C12 cells at low concentrations. Results from QRT-PCR assays revealed that following treatment with lidocaine, Notch1, Notch2, Hes1, Csl and Dll4 all showed higher levels of expression, while no changes were observed in Mmal1, Hey1, Dll1 and Jag1.Conclusion This work provides the first description of the effects of lidocaine upon the regeneration of muscles and maintenance of satellite cells at the cellular and molecular levels. In specific, we found that the Dll4-Notch-Csl-Hes1 axis was up-regulated suggesting that the Notch signaling pathway was involved in producing these effects of lidocaine. These findings provide a new and important foundation for future investigations into the effects of drug therapies in muscle diseases.

Interlayered thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes have been proven to achieve enhanced water permeance for desalination applications , while those lacking effective control over the construction of interlayers were prone to unsatisfactory permselectivity . In this study, a high-performance TFN membrane was constructed via interfacial polymerization on a Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)-interlayered polyethersulfone substrate. Regulating the thickness of the MOFs (copper-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin , Cu-TCPP) interlayer could effectively tailor the structural parameters (effective filtration area, selective layer thickness, and pore size) and physicochemical properties of the membrane. A resistance-in-series model was applied to analyze the hydraulic resistance distribution and the specific value of the intrinsic solution permeability of each layer of the TFN membranes. Results showed that the interlayer with a proper deposition density of MOFs nanosheets could simultaneously increase the cross-linking degree by adsorbing the PIP monomers and reduce the thickness of the PA layer to enhance the intrinsic permeability . The optimal membrane with a thin PA film (20 nm) displayed an excellent water permeance of 32.7 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 and an ultrahigh NaCl/Na 2 SO 4 selectivity of 271.7. Moreover, the membrane demonstrated remarkable stability during 120 h filtration. This work provides a promising strategy for fabricating TFN membranes with higher selectivity and enhanced comprehensive performance.
