This study demonstrates the use of MIEX resin as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of clofibric acid (CA) and diclofenac (DCF). The adsorption performance of CA and DCF are investigated by a batch mode in single-component or bi-component adsorption system. Various factors influencing the adsorption of CA and DCF, including initial concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial solution pH, agitation speed, natural organic matter and coexistent anions are studied. The Langmuir model can well describe CA adsorption in single-component system, while the Freundlich model gives better fitting in bi-component system. The DCF adsorption can be well fitted by the Freundlich model in both systems. Thermodynamic analyses show that the adsorption of CA and DCF is an endothermic (ΔH o > 0), entropy driven (ΔS o > 0) process and more randomness exists in the DCF adsorption process. The values of Gibbs free energy (ΔG o < 0) indicate the adsorption of DCF is spontaneous but nonspontaneous (ΔG o > 0) for CA adsorption. The kinetic data suggest the adsorption of CA and DCF follow the pseudo-first-order model in both systems and the intra-particle is not the unique rate-limiting step. The adsorption process is controlled simultaneously by external mass transfer and surface diffusion according to the surface diffusion modified Biot number (Bi s ) ranging from 1.06 to 26.15. Moreover, the possible removal mechanism for CA and DCF is respectively proposed based on the ion exchange stoichiometry .

Capric acid/expanded perlite form-stable phase change materials were prepared by vacuum adsorption. The phase change cement boards were prepared by adding capric acid/expanded perlite into cement mortar, and their thermal properties were tested. The results show that capric acid/expanded perlite improves the thermal storage capacity of the cement board; the latent heats of melting and freezing were 14.25 and 14.1 J g−1, respectively, at 20 wt% capric acid/expanded perlite. Capric acid/expanded perlite enhanced the specific heat capacity of the cement board, and the higher the content of the capric acid/expanded perlite in the cement board is, the higher the equivalent specific heat capacity is. Capric acid/expanded perlite also significantly reduced the thermal conductivity and the heat storage coefficient, while at the same time, increased the thermal inertia coefficient of the cement board. Compared with the ordinary cement board, the thermal conductivity of phase change cement board with mass ratios of 10, 15, and 20 wt% of capric acid/expanded perlite decreased by 39.4%, 47.83%, and 52.49% at 20°C and 37.94%, 46.84%, and 50.63% at 50°C, respectively; the heat storage coefficients decreased by 34.07%, 40.62%, and 44.87% at 20°C and 30.25%, 35.59%, and 37.65% at 50°C, respectively; the thermal inertia coefficients increased by 8.75%, 13.78%, and 15.96% at 20°C, and 8.75%, 21.53%, and 26.21% at 50°C, respectively.

Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism. Sensitive and facile monitoring of LMWH is of great significance for clinical special populations. Herein, using enoxaparin (Enox) as the typical representative of LMWH, a convenient and accurate fluorescence method was developed for Enox detection using carbon dots with antioxidant activity (A-CDs) as probe and polymyxin B (PMB) as medium agent. Compared with the simple Enox or PMB, the formed complex of PMB and Enox (PMB-Enox) based on the electrostatic interaction exhibited a new absorbance peak at 340 nm. Correspondingly, the absorbance of PMB-Enox overlapped with the exciting wavelength of A-CDs at 350 nm and effectively quenched the fluorescence of A-CDs through inner filter effect (IFE). The decreased fluorescence intensities of A-CDs were controlled by the increased Enox with constant PMB. A linear fitting equation was obtained between the quenching efficiency (QE) of A-CDs and variable contents of Enox in the range of 0.8–25.0 μg/mL. And the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.64 μg/mL. The recovery of the injection of Enox in human plasma was acceptable with rational relative standard deviations. Moreover, this fluorescence sensing strategy possesses the prospect of developing reliable pharmaceutical analysis method based on the consideration of drug’s property and pharmacological action and the controllable design of fluorescence probes.

Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) caused by wear particles is one of the leading causes of implant failure after arthroplasty. Macrophage polarization imbalance and subsequent osteogenic inhibition play a crucial role in PPO. Calycosin (CA) is a compound with anti-inflammatory and osteoprotective properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CA on titanium (Ti) particle-induced osteolysis, Ti particle-induced macrophage polarization and subsequent osteogenic deficits, and explore the associated signalling pathways in a Ti particle-stimulated calvarial osteolysis mouse model using micro-CT, ELISA, qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence and western blot techniques. The results showed that CA alleviated inflammation, osteogenic inhibition and osteolysis in the Ti particle-induced calvarial osteolysis mouse model in vivo. In vitro experiments showed that CA suppressed Ti-induced M1 macrophage polarization, promoted M2 macrophage polarization and ultimately enhanced osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. In addition, CA alleviated osteogenic deficits by regulating macrophage polarization homeostasis via the NF-κB signalling pathway both in vivo and in vitro. All these findings suggest that CA may prove to be an effective therapeutic agent for wear particle-induced osteolysis.

The potential therapeutic effects of carnosic acid (CA) on postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) were evaluated, including its effects on melanin deposition in zebrafish, melanogenesis and melanosome transfer in skin cells and skin wound healing in mice. Our results demonstrated that CA dose-dependently decreased melanin deposition in the skin of juvenile zebrafishes. It also inhibited melanogenesis in melanoma cells and melanosome transfer to keratinocytes. Next, CA was loaded in a liposome-hydrogel system (LP-GEL) to treat skin wounds in mice. The results showed that CA-LP-GEL, as well as LP-GEL, could accelerate skin wound healing and repair the structure of healing skins in mice. Comparatively, the levels of inflammatory factors (IL-1β and TNF-a) in healing skins were significantly increased by LP-GEL, but reduced by CA-LP-GEL. In addition, Fontana-Masson staining analysis of healing skin showed that the melanoma cells were restored by the treatment of LP-GEL and CA-LP-GEL, while the melanin content was significantly increased only by LP-GEL. Real-time PCR data showed that CA decreased the gene expression related with melanogenesis (MITF, TYR and TRP-1), melanosome transfer (MLPH, Myova and Rab27a) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) in vitro and in vivo . In conclusion, CA could reduce melanin deposition in the skin by inhibiting melanogenesis and melanosome transfer. CA-LP-GEL was found to accelerate skin wound healing and suppress inflammation and hyperpigmentation in mice. These results suggest that CA has a big developing potentiality for PIH treatment.

In this study, cellulose acetate (CA)-based polyamide (PA) nanofiltration membranes (CA-NF-2/0.4) with enhanced antifouling and separation performance were prepared through the interfacial polymerization of diethylenetriamine (DETA) and 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl chloride (TMC) for the effective removal of dyes and salt ions. Benefiting from the three reaction sites (primary and secondary amino groups) of DETA, a PA layer with a three-dimensional network structure formed on the CA substrate, imparting the CA-NF-2/0.4 membranes with a strong negative charge (−24.8 mV at pH 7) and a defect-free morphological feature. Consequently, the CA-NF-2/0.4 membranes exhibited high removal efficiencies for various dyes (99% for Rose Bengal and Congo Red, 95.5% for Methyl Orange, and 96.1% for Methylene Blue), as well as various monovalent and divalent salts, including MgCl2 (84.2%), Na2SO4 (92.7%), MgSO4 (91.8%), and NaCl (54.1%). Additionally, the CA-NF-2/0.4 membranes demonstrated excellent antifouling properties [the flux recovery ratio (flux recovery rate > 98.5%), long-term durability, and stability under high operational pressures and salt concentrations] due to their good hydrophilicity (water contact angle of 39.8°) and the hydrogen bonding interaction between the active amine groups of DETA and the –OH groups of the CA support layer. This study presents an effective method for fabricating cellulose-based NF membranes with high separation and antifouling performance, offering insights into the high-value utilization of cellulose-based materials.

In this study, chemical modification coupled with immobilization of cellulase was developed for simultaneous pretreatment and saccharification (SPS) of lignocellulosic biomass in ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES). Cellulase was firstly modified with acid anhydrides to form citraconic anhydride modified cellulase (CA-Ce) and phthalic anhydride modified cellulase (PA-Ce), respectively. Then the modified cellulases were immobilized on amino-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-NH 2 ) to fabricate CA-Ce@MSN-NH 2 and PA-Ce@MSN-NH 2 . A series of physiochemical characterizations were employed to characterize modified cellulases or immobilization carriers. Thermodynamic analysis and deactivation kinetics in ternary DES (NMMO/Bet/OA) revealed that CA-Ce@MSN-NH 2 had desired thermal stability and solvent tolerance, which maintained 80.5 % initial activity at 70 °C and 77.8 % initial activity in 50 % NMMO/Bet/OA. The SPS of bagasse in NMMO/Bet/OA via CA-Ce@MSN-NH 2 resulted in 84.1 % total reducing sugar (TRS) yield at optimal condition.

Spring Viremia of Carp Virus (SVCV) is a highly pathogenic pathogen that infects carp fish, and SVCV infection frequently causes a severe inflammatory response in the affected fish. The viral infection is extremely lethal in carp larvae, often leading to heavy economic losses. Cholic acid (CA) is a primary bile acid synthesized directly from cholesterol in the liver and has been found to have an inhibitory effect on viral infections. To substantiate this antiviral potential, 500 μM CA was tested against SVCV replication in vitro and showed a significant inhibitory effect on viral replication. Further experimental tests demonstrated that CA exerted antiviral effects during its replication phase but not at viral adsorption and entry stages. In vivo experiments demonstrated that CA increased the survival rate of SVCV-infected zebrafish by 40 %, reduced viral load in tissues and reduced histopathological lesions. Comparison of the liver transcriptome of zebrafish between CA treatment and control (NC) groups revealed that CA treatment was able to promote the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids, with the most significant changes in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Inhibition assay on fatty acid desaturase 2 (Fads2), the first rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acid, showed that the antiviral effect of CA on SVCV disappeared. These new findings suggest that CA may exert its antiviral effects by regulating the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acid. In addition, this study also verified that DHA has antiviral activity against SVCV. In conclusion, CA shows promise as a potential anti-SVCV drug or feed additive that could help mitigate SVCV outbreaks in aquaculture.

Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp) infection poses a significant global public health challenge, with the misuse of antibiotics further contributing to the development of resistance and triggering harmful inflammatory responses. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) released by CRKp under sub-lethal concentration of MEM pressure (KOMV-MEM) exhibit enhanced virulence and greater efficiency in transferring resistance genes.Methods: We investigated the inhibitory effects of chlorogenic acid (CA) on KOMV-MEM characteristics and its protective role in KOMV-MEM infected mice. Based on LC-MS proteomic analysis of vesicles, we screened for potential targets of KOMV-MEM in promoting macrophage (MØ) pyroptosis pathways and inducing resistance gene transfer. Subsequently, computational predictions and experimental validation were performed to determine how CA regulates these mechanisms.Results: This study confirmed that, under MEM pressure, the exacerbated infection levels in CRKp-inoculated mice are attributable to the high virulence of KOMV-MEM. Computational and experimental results demonstrated that CA inhibits pyroptosis by reducing MØ capture of KOMV-MEM through blocking the interaction between GroEL and LOX-1. Furthermore, CA prevents the spread of resistance genes by disrupting the conjugation and transfer processes between KOMV-MEM and recipient bacteria. Finally, in vitro and in vivo assays showed that CA inhibits KOMV-MEM resistance enzymes, thereby preventing the hydrolysis of MEM in the environment and depriving susceptible bacteria of protection.Discussion: These findings provide the first confirmation that CA can inhibit both the virulence and the transmission of drug resistance in KOMV-MEM. This underscores the potential of CA treatment as a promising antimicrobial strategy against CRKp infection.

To broaden the application of ovalbumin (OVA) in food formulations, it is meaningful to improve its foaming characteristics. This study aimed to investigate the effect of benzoic acid-based (3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, DA) and cinnamic acid-based polyphenols (trans-2-hydroxycinnamic acid, T2A) on the foaming properties of OVA at acidic (pH 3.0), neutral (pH 7.4) and alkaline (pH 9.0) pH conditions. Both the addition of polyphenols and acid treatment enhanced the foaming properties of OVA. Surface hydrophobicity, circular dichroism, free sulfhydryl groups, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results indicated that after acidic workup, the presence of stronger hydrophobic interactions in OVA-polyphenol aggregates induced more disordered protein conformation and conversion or breakage of disulfide bonds. Particle size and zeta potential indicated that acidic treatment neutralized protein surface charges, further inducing self-aggregation and swelling of OVA, ultimately enhancing foaming properties. Comparatively, T2A exhibited better foam-inducing capacity due to its stronger interaction with OVA, leading to the unfolding of the OVA structure and the exposure of more hydrophobic groups. The intrinsic and 3-D fluorescence spectra experiments also confirmed that OVA-T2A aggregates at pH 3.0 had greater altered non-covalent interaction forces and protein secondary and tertiary structures compared to other complexes. This study provides a theoretical basis for designing protein formulations with excellent foaming properties.

Eco-friendly plastics are an emerging class of sustainable polymers. However, the process of developing high-performance sustainable polymers often requires the preparation of high-purity monomers from less pure biomass feedstocks. This process is not only complex, but also makes the bio-based feedstock less atom-economical, resulting in higher product costs. In this study, it is proposed to develop cyclic epoxy monomer from tung oil (TO), which are reacted with citric acid (CA) in simple curing reaction to prepare tung oil-based epoxy resins with sustainable recycling properties. These epoxy resins are thermally stable and possess tunable mechanical properties. The dynamic reversible covalent bonding of β -hydroxy esters introduced in the crosslinked network gives the polymer both reprocessable and chemically recyclable properties. In addition, the abundant hydroxyl are able to produce a variety of non-covalent interactions with the adherent substrate, thus exhibiting excellent adhesive properties. The combination of plant oil, thermoplastic-like behavior, and sustainable recycling provides new ideas for the development of new plant oil-based eco-friendly polymer materials.

The carbon coating strategy has emerged as an indispensable approach to improve the conductivity of polyanionic cathodes. However, owing to the complex reaction process between precursors of carbon and cathode, establishing a unified screening principle for carbonaceous precursors remains a technical challenge. Herein, we reveal that carbonaceous precursor pyrolysis chemistry undeniably influences the formation process and performance of Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) cathodes from in situ insights. By investigating three types of carbonaceous precursors, it is found that O/H-containing functional groups can provide more bonding sites for cathode precursors and generate a reducing atmosphere by pyrolysis, which is beneficial to the formation of polyanionic materials and a uniform carbon coating layer. Conversely, excessive pyrolysis of functional groups leads to a significant amount of gas, which is detrimental to the compactness of the carbon layer. Furthermore, the substantial presence of residual heteroatoms diminishes graphitization. In this case, it is demonstrated that carbon dots (CDs) precursors with suitable functional groups can comprehensively enhance the Na+ migration rate, reversibility, and interface stability of the cathode material. As a result, the NVP/CDs cathode displays outstanding capacity retention, maintaining 92% after 10,000 cycles at a high rate of 50 C. Altogether, these findings provide a valuable benchmark for carbon source selection for polyanionic cathodes.
