In this work, cis and trans fatty acid (FA) contents in edible oils was determined using 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) spectroscopy. The comparison of 1 H NMR spectra of edible oil and cis-trans isomerized oil showed that they were different in three regions: (1) 2.880 - 2.650 ppm caused by bis-allylic protons; (2) 2.140 - 1.900 ppm due to allylic protons; and (3) 1.030 - 0.930 ppm due to methyl protons of linolenic acyl groups. The 1 H NMR signals in these regions were combined with partial least squares method to predict contents of cis/trans fatty acids in edible oils. The results showed that the predicted values were consistent with the gas chromatography-measured values and had a good linear relationship with a correlation coefficient (R 2 ) of above 0.98. This work demonstrates that 1 H NMR spectroscopy was successfully used to determine the composition of both cis and trans fatty acids in edible oils.

Tylosin and tilmicosin (T&T) residues in livestock products have received extensive attention from consumers. Time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatographic assay (TRFICA), as a fast, efficient and sensitive immunoassay method, has played an increasingly important role in the food safety field. Therefore, herein a quantitative and visual TRFICA was established for simultaneously detecting T&T in milk in a group-screening manner. Under the optimal conditions, the standard curve range of developed TRFICA based on the T&T was 1.87~7.47 ng/mL, and the half-maximal inhibition concentrations (IC50) were 4.06 ng/mL and 3.74 ng/mL, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) of the TRFICA method were from 1.72 ng/mL to 1.39 ng/mL, and the visual cut-off values were 31.25 ng/mL and 62.50 ng/mL for T&T in milk, respectively. Moreover, the stability experiments showed that the strips could be stored at 4 °C for more than 6 months, the total detection time was less than 13 min, and the cross-reactivities (CRs) with related compounds were less than 0.1%, which concluded that the developed TRFICA method could be used in real milk sample detection.Keywords:time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatographic assay;tylosin;tilmicosin;milk

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key contributors to inflammatory progression and damage. Upon clinical and experimental observation of vascular abnormalities in acute inflammatory diseases, we explore cellular vesicles as templates and carriers to elevate therapeutic performance of nano-antioxidant. Specifically, we develop a mild one-pot approach for in situ growth of cerium oxide (Ce) nanocrystals onto nano-sized red blood cells vesicles (ReVs). Besides excellent biocompatibility, Ce-ReVs have very high ROS-scavenging activity, which is experimentally and theoretically explained by discovering the unique functions of membrane lipids in optimizing Ce nanocrystals with ultrasmall size (~ 3 nm) and ultrahigh Ce(III) content (~ 60.8%). In colitis and acute liver injury models, Ce-ReVs notably enhance accumulation at the inflamed sites and confer strong ROS elimination. Moreover, we upgrade the system by hybridizing ReVs with mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes and demonstrate additional repair function of highly damaged tissues, further verifying the satisfactory flexibility and therapeutic efficacy.

Although it has been proven that the addition of shear-thinning polymers can lead to an improvement in the sweeping efficiency of the remedial agent in heterogeneous aquifers, the related mechanisms require further investigation. This study revealed the mechanisms associated with the improvement of fluid sweeping uniformity. Under the assumption of no transverse flow existed between layers, the variation patterns of the fluid sweeping uniformity in strip layered heterogeneous media ( R P / R K ) with the change of the fluid hydraulic conductivity were investigated. The outcomes showed that, for the hydraulic conductivity dominated fluid sweeping uniformity control, the performance was satisfactory only when the ratio of the hydraulic conductivities of viscous fluid in porous media (PM) layers ( K 1P / K 2P ) is less than 2.5 times that of pure oxidant solution ( K 1K / K 2K ), and PM combinations with higher permeability contrast usually present a wider applicability and better performance. In addition, transverse fluid movement was more likely to occur in layers with low permeability contrasts (2.3–5) than in those with relatively higher permeability contrasts (> 11). The observed transverse pressure difference directly confirmed the hypothesis of the dynamics of the cross-flow mechanism that existed during viscous fluid flow, and the relationships between the fluid fronts and the pressure head difference at each point (Px) were proposed. Our study exemplifies an effective strategy for determining the most economically effective co-injection concentration of xanthan to achieve highly efficient delivery of remedial agents.

In this study, novel Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS)-loaded nanoparticles coated with the Trimethyl chitosan (TMC) derivatives TMC-VB 12 and TMC-Cys (PPTT-NPs) were developed to improve the oral absorption of the constituents. PPTT-NPs were prepared by the double emulsion method and showed different encapsulation effects on the major components, including Rg1, Rb1, and R1, in PNS. In vivo, the absorption rate constant and apparent absorption coefficient of PPTT-NPs were higher than PNS solution. These findings preliminarily proved that PPTT-NPs can promote intestinal absorption to a certain extent. The pharmacokinetic results indicated that the blood concentration and the area under the curve of Rg1 and Rb1 in the PPTT-NPs were higher than Xueshuantong capsules . The cell viability of PPTT-NPs was above 90% within 25-150 μg/mL. PPTT-NPs promoted the cellular uptake of PNS by receptor-mediated endocytosis. In summary, NPs coated with TMC-VB 12 and TMC-Cys can be used as promising drug delivery systems .

Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) are an emerging class of environmental hazardous contaminants that extensively, stably exist in airborne particulate matter and pose harmful effects on human health. However, there was little research about the sources of EPFRs in actual atmospheric conditions. This study reported the occurrence, characteristics, and sources of EPFRs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM 2.5 collected in Dalian, China. The concentrations of PM 2.5 -bound EPFRs ranged from 1.13 × 10 13 to 8.97 × 10 15 spins/m 3 (mean value: 1.14 × 10 15 spins/m 3 ). Carbon-centered radicals and carbon-centered radicals with adjacent oxygen atoms were detected. The concentration of ∑PAHs ranged from 1.09 to 76.24 ng/m 3 , and PAHs with high molecular weight (HMW) were predominant species in PM 2.5 . Correlation of EPFRs with SO 2 , NO 2 , O 3 , and 12 kinds of PAHs indicated that both fuel (coal and biomass) combustion and photoreaction in atmosphere influenced the concentrations of EPFR. The positive matrix factorization (PMF) model results have shown that the primary sources contributed most of the EPFRs and those of secondary sources had a little proportion. Coal combustion (52.4%) was the primary contributor of EPFRs, followed by traffic emission (22.6%), industrial sources (9.6%), and secondary sources (9.2%) during the heating period, whereas industrial emission (39.2%) was the primary contributor, followed by coal combustion (38.1%), vehicular exhaust (23.5%), and secondary sources (9.6%) during the non-heating period. The finding of the present study provides an important evidence for further study on the formation mechanism of EPFRs in actual atmospheric to control the air pollution.

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are among the active metabolites in biological process both in the intestinal tract and the bioconversion of organic wastes, which has resulted in various human diseases and environmental problems. In order to accurately detect SCFAs, we introduced a novel extraction sorbent. Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber membrane was synthesized, then poly (3, 4-Ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was deposited onto the surface of electrospun PAN nanofibers by in situ polymerization. The morphology of the composite PAN/PEDOT nanofiber was characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and FTIR spectrum. PAN/PEDOT was used to isolate and concentrate the SCFAs in waste water and fecal samples before gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The analytical method was evaluated systematically, and low limits of detection (LODs) of 0.34–0.87 μg/L and good linearity (R2≥ 0.9953) were obtained. The method was applied successfully for the determination of SCFAs in waste water and fecal samples, with good recovery (87.5–104.6%) and satisfactory reproducibility (relative standard deviation: 6.5–14.1%). The results indicated that the proposed method can be used as a potential approach for the determination of SCFAs with high sensitivity in waste water and biological samples.Keywords:adsorbent;conducting polymer;electrospinning;polyacrylonitrile;solid phase extraction

Tree peonies are well-known horticultural and medicinal plants. The tree peony seeds, as emerging woody oil crops, recently have attracted great attention for their metabolites and bioactivities. In this study, the phytochemicals isolated from tree peony seed coats were systematically investigated. Seven polyphenolics were separated and prepared, mainly belonging to resveratrol derivatives. There was a great variation in the seed coat polyphenolic content among eight Paeonia species, and the contents of the resveratrol trimers and dimers were significantly higher in the seed coats of Paeonia ostii than other species. Based on the HPLC fingerprint characteristics and chemometric analysis, a clear discrimination among Paeonia plants was found, including the composition patterns and contents of the constituents. Moreover, the characteristic phytochemicals (vateriferol and trans-ε-viniferin) could significantly reduce the starch-mediated levels of postprandial blood glucose in diabetic/normal mice. In addition, in vitro enzyme tests showed that the two compounds could effectively and competitively inhibit α-glucosidase, with the IC50 values of 3.01 and 7.75 μM, respectively, indicating that vateriferol and trans-ε-viniferin could be therapeutic potential agents for hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus.

Scope Red meat intake is reported to be correlated with chronic diseases. A potential causal factor is N -glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) which metabolically incorporates into diverse glycoconjugates in humans. This study aims to investigate the impact of exposure to Neu5Gc-rich red meat on healthy cytidine-5′-monophospho- N -acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase ( Cmah ) knock-out mice and the underlying mechanisms. Methods and Results CMAH −/− mice are fed Neu5Gc-rich diet for short-term (4 months) and long-term (10 months). Health status and levels of inflammatory cytokines are assessed. Caco-2 cells are used to investigate the intestinal absorption of Neu5Gc-containing glycoprotein, and in vitro fermentation is used to investigate the Neu5Gc utilization by gut microbiota. Neu5Gc-rich diets show neither measurable abnormality in physio-biochemical and inflammatory indexes nor observable alterations of liver tissue in mice. Glycosylation of lactoferrin limits its intestinal epithelial absorption, and the absorption of Neu5Gc attach onto glycoprotein is thus limited. Neu5Gc is also simultaneously utilized by microorganisms under simulated gut conditions. Conclusion The results indicate that the long-term intake of Neu5Gc-rich red meat has no adverse effect on the health of CMAH −/− mice, which may be related to the limited absorption of Neu5Gc that is regulated by protein glycosylation, and the metabolism of Neu5Gc by gut microorganisms.

Anionic Cr(VI) and cationic heavy metals generally co-exist in industrial effluents and threaten the public health. Zero-valent iron (ZVI) particles tent to passivate rapidly, which results in a gradual drop in its reactivity. In this work, a strategy of “in-situ synthesized” iron-based bimetal was first developed to stimulate the self-activation of passivated ZVI. During this process, ZVI-loaded hydroxyapatite (ZVI/HAP) was prepared to enhance the affinity for co-existing Cu 2+ , which promoted the in-situ Cu 0 deposition on ZVI/HAP to form a Fe–Cu bimetal. The deposited Cu 0 significantly decreased the activation energy (E a ) of Cr(VI) reduction by 24.9%, and its corresponding Cr(VI) removal (96.53%) was much higher that of single Cr(VI) system (68.67%) within 9 h. More importantly, the removal of Cr(VI) and Cu 2+ were synchronously achieved. Systematical electrochemical characterizations were first introduced to explore the galvanic behaviors of iron-based bimetal. The charge transfer resistance and the negative open circuit potential of ZVI/HAP significantly decreased with the Cu 0 deposition, thereby accelerating the electron transfer from Fe 0 to Cu 2+ . The enhanced electron transfer further facilitated the Fe(II) release to promote Cr(VI) reduction. This “in-situ synthesized” iron-based bimetal strategy provides a novel pattern for ZVI activation and exhibits practical application in remediation of combined contaminant.

18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (18β-GA), an active component from Glycyrrhiza glabra L. root (licorice), has been demonstrated to be able to protect against inflammatory response and reduce methotrexate (MTX)-derived toxicity. This study was therefore designed to test the therapeutic possibility of 18β-GA on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to explore the underlying mechanism. LPS or TNF-α-induced inflammatory cell models and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) animal models were applied in this study. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to measure the mRNA levels of various cytokines and FOXO family members. The protein levels of molecules in the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway were analyzed using western blot. The cell proliferation assay and colony-forming assay were used to test the influence of 18β-GA on cell viability. The cell apoptosis assay and cell cycle assay were performed to detect the effect of 18β-GA on cell proliferative capacity by using flow cytometry. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed to evaluate pathological changes after drug administration. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was carried out for the detection of cytokines in serum. In vitro, we found that 18β-GA decreased the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and COX-2 by inhibiting the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway in MH7A and RAW264.7 cell lines. Moreover, 18β-GA was able to suppress cell viability, trigger cell apoptosis, and G1 phase cell cycle arrest in our in vitro studies. 18β-GA dramatically enhanced the mRNA level of FOXO3 in both TNF-α- and LPS-induced inflammation models in vitro. Interestingly, after analyzing GEO datasets, we found that the FOXO3 gene was significantly decreased in the RA synovial tissue as compared to healthy donors in multiple microarray studies. In vivo, 18β-GA exhibited a promising therapeutic effect in a collagen-induced arthritis mouse model by alleviating joint pathological changes and declining serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Finally, we observed that 18β-GA administration could mitigate liver damage caused by collagen or MTX. Collectively, the current study demonstrates for the first time that 18β-GA can inhibit inflammation and proliferation of synovial cells, and the underlying mechanism may be associated with its inhibition of MAPK/NF-κB signaling and promotion of FOXO3 signaling. Therefore, 18β-GA is expected to be a new drug candidate for RA therapy.

The catalytic reaction of C 2 H 6 with CO 2 provides an opportunity to use shale gas and the greenhouse gas as source materials to produce ethylene through oxidative dehydrogenation or produce syngas through dry reforming . In this work, the reaction characteristics of ethane with CO 2 on Fe/Co/Ni/Cu monometallic catalysts and Pd-doped bimetallic catalysts were studied through activity test, kinetic analysis , catalyst characterization and DFT calculation. It is found that Pd–Fe 6 /CeO 2 has a high and stable C 2 H 4 selectivity of 80.4%, which is suitable for oxidative dehydrogenation reaction, while Ni 6 /CeO 2 has a large ethane/CO 2 conversion and a high CO selectivity of 96.5%, which is suitable for dry reforming reaction. For Fe-based catalyst, the doping of Pd form double active component structure. It only reduces the energy barrier of ethylene formation and CO 2 direct activation to provide O∗, but also increases the energy barrier of ethylene deep dehydrogenation, thus increasing the conversion of reactants and selectivity of C 2 H 4 . For Ni-based catalysts, the doping of Pd forms the alloy structure, which reduces the energy barrier of O∗-assisted dehydrogenation reaction and increases the conversion of reactants, but increases the energy barrier of C–C bond cleavage and CO 2 activation reaction, which reduces the selectivity of reforming to syngas.
