Liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of ternary systems {2-ethyl-1-hexanol + ethylene glycol + water/n-heptane} were measured at 298.2, 308.2, and 318.2 K under 101.3 kPa. The distribution coefficient (D) and selectivity coefficient (S) of the systems were calculated to analyze the extraction ability of the two extractants that separate 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and ethylene glycol. Meanwhile, the NRTL and UNIQUAC activity coefficient models were used to correlate the experimental data and the different model parameters were obtained by data regression. The root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) between the calculated and experimental values was less than 0.96%, indicating that both models have a reasonable correlation with the experimental data of the ternary system and can accurately predict the experimental data. GUI-MATLAB has validated the binary interaction parameters.

Due to the poor self-repair capabilities of articular cartilage, chondral or osteochondral injuries are difficult to be recovered. In this study, an N-cadherin mimetic peptide sequence HAVDIGGGC (HAV) was conjugated to direct cell–cell interactions, and an aggrecanase-1 cleavable peptide sequence CRDTEGE-ARGSVIDRC (ACpep) was used to crosslink hyperbranched PEG-based multi-acrylate polymer (HBPEG) with cysteamine-modified chondroitin sulfate (Cys-CS), obtaining an aggrecanase-1 responsively degradable and HAV-conjugated hydrogel ((HAV-HBPEG)-CS-ACpep). A HBPEG-CS-ACpep hydrogel without the HAV motif was also prepared. The two hydrogels exhibited similar equilibrium swelling ratios, elastic moduli and pore sizes after lyophilization, indicating the negligible influence of conjugated HAV on the crosslinking networks and mechanical properties of the hydrogels. After being degraded in PBS, aggrecanase-1 (ADAMTS4) and trypsin, the HBPEG-CS-ACpep hydrogel exhibited significantly decreased elastic moduli with a much lower value when incubated in enzyme solutions. The two hydrogels could maintain the viability of encapsulated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and the (HAV-HBPEG)-CS-ACpep hydrogel better promoted the cell–cell interactions. After being implanted into osteochondral defects in rabbits for 18 weeks, the two cell-laden hydrogel groups achieved better repair effects than the blank control group. Moreover, hyaline cartilage was formed in the (HAV-HBPEG)-CS-ACpep/BMSCs hydrogel group, while a hybrid of hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage was found in the HBPEG-CS-ACpep/BMSCs hydrogel group.

Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCPP) is an environmental contaminant that has attracted increasing concern due to its presence in environmental media and biological samples. Our previous study demonstrated that exposure to TDCPP reduced the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans, but the mechanisms, including the relevant signaling pathways, are unclear. The current study found that TDCPP exposure triggers an unconventional insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling (IIS) pathway, not by disrupting the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor DAF-2/IGF1R but by inhibiting the downstream tumor-suppressor factor DAF-18/PTEN. This inhibition reduces PI(3,4,5)P3 (PIP3) dephosphorylation, causing buildup that increases the activation of the Akt/Protein Kinase B (PKB) family of serine/threonine kinases. This activation induces DAF-16/FoxO phosphorylation and promotes the sequestration of DAF-16/FoxO in the cytoplasm, reducing the lifespan of nematodes. Our results have important diagnostic and therapeutic implications for controlling TDCPP-related diseases, especially those originating with IIS pathway components.

Carboxymethyl cellulose-foam-supported HKUST-1@graphdiyne (HK@GDY/CMC-B) was constructed with high thermal conductivity and directional channels to enhance the ad-/de-sorption efficiency of acetaldehyde. Characterization results showed that (1) HKUST-1 grew within CMC and GDY via an in situ tri-phase cross-linking strategy, forming a special “alkynyl|Cu|COOH” interface, which maintained the high BET surface area (945.1 m2 g−1) of the HK@GDY/CMC-B foam and established a tight connection among the different components of the composite; (2) the π-conjugated carbon structure of GDY and the unique “alkynyl|Cu|COOH” interface within HK@GDY/CMC-B accelerated the phonon conduction and significantly enhanced the thermal conductivity of HK@GDY/CMC-B (336 mW m−1 K−1); (3) the directional channels and the hierarchical pore structure with a unique interface in the HK@GDY/CMC-B foam facilitated the diffusion and adsorption of VOCs; (4) the compact “alkynyl|Cu|COOH” interface generated more unsaturated Cu(II) and Cu(I) sites and increased adsorbent surface polarity to capture acetaldehyde. Consequently, the obtained HK@GDY/CMC-B exhibited an excellent acetaldehyde adsorption capacity of up to 11.0 mmol g−1, which was 1.3–3.4 times higher than that of many state-of-the-art adsorbents. Kinetics performance data revealed that the diffusivity of acetaldehyde on the HK@GDY/CMC-B foam increased by 60% compared to that of the pristine HKUST-1. Similarly, the desorption rate of HK@GDY/CMC-B was 2.2–6.5 times faster than that of several state-of-the-art adsorbents under similar temperature programmed desorption. This greatly realized an energy-conserving approach for adsorbent regeneration. Based on these findings, the current tri-phase cross-linking strategy can be deemed as an efficient tactic to further improve the adsorption efficiency of MOFs for fast adsorption of VOCs on the commercial level.

Natural products are a large source of clinically effective antitumor drugs . Millepachine, a natural product derived from leguminous plants, was reported to display antitumor activity . In this study, the novel compound, (1H-indol-5-yl) (5-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromen-8-yl)methanone (MIL-1), was designed and synthesized by fusing millepachine and indole rings. MIL-1 exerted much better antitumor activity than millepachine, manifesting as a 24- to 201-fold increase in vitro cytotoxicity and a 2.4-fold increase in in vivo antitumor activity in hepatocellular cell lines-derived models. The immunofluorescence and HPLC detection revealed that MIL-1 was a potent microtubule targeting agent by interfering with the equilibrium of tubulin-microtubule dynamics and irreversibly binding to tubulin. MIL-1 displayed remarkable antitumor activity with an IC 50 of 31–207 nM towards various human cancer cell lines derived from various organs and tissues, and it exerted no evidence of toxicity against normal cells. Mechanistic studies showed that MIL-1 arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase and induced apoptosis by activating caspase-3 activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Moreover, the superior antitumor effect of MIL-1 is worthy of further detailed study for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) have received widespread attention due to their simple construction, low operating temperature, high conversion efficiency, high energy density, and being free of pollution. The sluggish kinetics, low C 1 pathway selectivity, and poor resistance to CO poisoning, however, remain great challenges for their development. In this work, porous PtBiTe nanoplates (PtBiTe NPs) with an average lateral size of 309.5 nm and an average thickness of 14.6 nm were facilely synthesized in aqueous solution at room temperature by using Bi 2 Te 3 nanoplate templates. The twodimensional porous structure exposes a large number of Pt active sites and has excellent structural stability. The introduction of Bi and Te modifies the electronic structure of Pt, weakens the energy barrier of the potential-determining step of the C 1 pathway, reduces the energy barrier of CO oxidation, and decreases the number of oxidized Pt atoms. PtBiTe NPs show excellent activity and stability, high C 1 pathway selectivity, and robust resistance to CO poisoning toward ethanol oxidation reaction in alkaline electrolyte, much superior to the commercial Pt/C catalysts.

Novel highly soluble phenylethynyl-endcapped oligoimides derived from mixed thioetherdiphthalic anhydride isomers ( m -TDPA) and 5(6)-amino-1-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,3-trimethylindane (DAPI), 4,4′-oxydianiline (4,4’-ODA) with 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride (PEPA) as a reactive endcapping agent were synthesized. The calculated molecular weights of all the oligoimides were 2500 g·mol −1 .The effect of the mole ratio of DAPI/4,4’-ODA on solubility and melt viscosity of oligoimides as well as the thermal and mechanical properties of cured polyimide films was investigated. Experimental results indicated that DAPI greatly improved the solubility (>30 wt.%) of the oligoimides in low boiling points solvents when the content of DAPI was more than 10 mol% per total diamine. All the oligoimides exhibited very good processability with minimum melt viscosity lower than 60 Pa·s at about 330 °C. Tough and brown films were obtained after thermally cured at 370 °C for 1 h and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that glass transition temperatures of the cured films increased up to 340 °C with the increasing content of DAPI. However, the thermal stability and mechanical properties decreased with the increase of DAPI content. The temperature of 5% weight loss was higher than 470 °C in both air and N 2 atmosphere obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). And the tensile strengths of the cured films were about 60 MPa.

Much attention is being paid to applying metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as stationary phases in chromatography because of their fascinating properties, such as large surface-to-volume ratios, high levels of porosity, and selective adsorption. HKUST-1 is one of the best-studied face-centered-cubic MOF containing nano-sized channels and side pockets for film growth. However, growth of HKUST-1 framework inside capillary column as stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography is a challenge work. In this work, we carry out the growth of HKUST-1 on the inner wall of capillary by using liquid-phase epitaxy process at room temperature. The fabricated HKUST-1@capillary can be successfully used for the separation of substituted benzene including methylbenzene, ethylbenzene, styrene, chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, o -dichlorobenzene, benzene series, phenolic acids, and benzoic acids derivates. High column efficiency of 1.5 × 10 5 N/m for methylbenzene was achieved. The formation of HKUST-1 grown in the capillary was confirmed and characterized by scanning electron microscopy images, Fourier transform infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction. The column showed long lifetime and excellent stability. The relative standard deviations for intra-day and inter-day repeatability of the HKUST-1@capillary were lower than 7%.

Modification by ultra-thin fullerene (C 60 ) insertion layer of about 1 monolayer on the electronic structure and the film growth of 2,7-diocty[1]benzothieno-[3,2-b]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) on silicon oxide (SiO 2 ) is investigated using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It is found that the ultra-thin C 60 insertion layer doesn’t induce an ambipolar charge transport characteristic but it indeed lifts up the energy levels of C8-BTBT, resulting in p-doping and hole accumulation at the semiconductor-dielectric interface. The charge transfer from trap states residing in the band gap of C8-BTBT to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of C 60 most likely leads to a decrease of threshold voltage for corresponding organic field effect transistors (OFETs) based on such a configuration. Band bending and decrease of the ionization potential (IP) are observed in the C8-BTBT film attributed to the increasing ordering of molecular orientation with the deposition of C8-BTBT. The HOMO downward shift is clearly bigger with the C 60 insertion layer than that without. A typical Volmer-Weber (VW) growth mode is detected due to the weaker van der Waals interaction between C8-BTBT and the underlying layer of C 60 /C8-BTBT than that between the C8-BTBT molecules. Compared to without C 60 interlayer, the molecular packing is a little more disordered at low coverages, resulting in more C8-BTBT molecules to lean away from the interface normal. The C8-BTBT film in such a structure phase has the HOMO closer to the E F than that at an almost perfectly vertically standing up configuration. Our results show that the introduction of C 60 insertion layer lifts up the HOMO of C8-BTBT and improves the energy level alignment at the interface.

Transformation of multifunctional homogeneous catalysts to the corresponding heterogeneous catalytic systems makes catalytic reactions interesting from both economic and environmental points of view. Here, we have devised a controllable and efficient strategy for the preparation of supported multifunctional catalysts by taking the Cu/2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) catalytic system as an example. Polystyrene-supported Cu/TEMPO catalysts were, for the first time, prepared via nanoprecipitation of polymers in water and efficient for aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BnOH). Cooperative behaviors could be regulated by precise control of local concentrations of functional groups. We have demonstrated that the incorporation of functional groups into polystyrene supports can make better use of catalytic components, resulting from confinement-enhanced cooperation. This strategy provides access to build more efficient multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts through establishing structure–activity relationships.

The liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for ethylene glycol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol + { n -hexane, 1-hexene, 2-propyl-1-heptanol, and isopropyl ether} were measured at 298.2 K under 101.3 kPa. The distribution constant ( D ) and selectivity ( S ) of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol in the systems were calculated to analyze the extraction ability of the four extractants. The Bachman and Othmer–Tobias equations were chosen to examine the experimental LLE data. The linear correlation coefficient R 2 is greater than 0.98, indicating that the linear fitting of the experimental data is good. The data were regressed by thermodynamic models NRTL and UNIQUAC. The deviation between experimental data and simulated data was calculated by the root mean square deviation (RMSD) and the absolute average deviation (AAD). The RMSD is less than 0.79% and the AAD is less than 0.46%. It indicates that the two models are suitable for the regression of the system.
