Background Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) is a traditional Chinese medicine to treat the syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis. Platelets play an important role in regulating thrombus and inflammation after ischemic injury, studies have shown that BYHWD regulate myocardial fibrosis and exert anti-inflammatory effects through IL-17 and TLR4 pathways, but the mechanism of platelet activation by BYHWD in stable coronary heart disease is still unknown. In the present study, model of left anterior descending coronary artery ligation was applied to investigate the mechanisms of BYHWD on modulating platelets hyperreactivity and heart function after fibrosis of ischemic myocardial infarction (MI). Methods Myocardial infarction model was constructed by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham, model, MI with aspirin (positive), MI with a low dosage of BYHWD (BYHWD-ld) and MI with a high dosage of BYHWD (BYHWD-hd) for 28 days. Results Coronary artery ligation prominently induced left ventricle dysfunction, increased cardiomyocyte fibrosis, which was accompanied by platelets with hyperreactivity, and high levels of inflammatory factors. BYHWD obviously reversed cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis, increased the thickness of the left ventricular wall, and inhibited aggregation ratio and CD62p expression. BYHWD restored the mitochondrial respiration of platelets after MI, concomitant with an increased telomere expression and decreased inflammation. According to the result of transcriptome sequencing, we found that 106 differentially expressed genes compared model with BYHWD treatment. Enrichment analysis screened out the Ras-related protein Rap-1 (Rap1) signaling pathway and platelet activation biological function. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting were applied to found that BYHWD reduced the expression of Rap1/PI3K-Akt/Src-CDC42 genes and attenuated the overactivity of PI3 kinase/Rap1/integrin α(IIb)β(3) pathway. Conclusion BYHWD reduced inflammation and platelet activation via the PI3 kinase/Rap1/integrin α(IIb)β(3) pathway and improved heart function after MI. Graphical Abstract

Flocculation is one of the promising methods for harvesting microalgae. In this study, a series of grafted cationic chitosan-cyclodextrin composite flocculants (CTS/β-CDs) with different structural properties were prepared from chitosan and cyclodextrin. The results showed that the harvesting efficiency of CTS/β-CD-1 for C. vulgaris reached 99.91%. The chain type of polymeric flocculants with moderate graft chain lengths (L = 10–20) and tighter branched chain density distribution (D = 1.0–1.8) was favorable for C. vulgaris harvesting. The addition of CTS/β-CDs caused the discrete C. vulgaris cells to be flocculated and aggregated, and the reorganization of particles resulted in larger particles after flocculation, improving the dewatering performance of microalgae flocs. CTS/β-CDs had no significant inhibitory effect on the extraction of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates, and did not affect the extraction and quality of fatty acid methyl esters, and the re-cultivation experiments of the harvested water showed that chitosan-based flocculant was able to effectively reduce the cost of microalgae harvesting. Electrostatic interactions and bridging were the main harvesting mechanisms between CTS/β-CD-1 and C vulgaris . E-DLVO modeling suggested that flocculation is mainly a result of electrostatic and acid-base interactions when the distance between particles is small. At higher pH, the harvesting efficiency of CTS/β-CD-1 with C. vulgaris decreased. The study contributes to a better understanding of the structure–activity relationship between the structural characteristics of flocculants and the harvesting performance.

In this work, the molecular recognition of dimethomorph by disulfide bridged β–cyclodextrin (SS–β–CD) was studied by UV spectroscopy , 2 D NMR, and molecular modeling . The results indicated that the SS–β–CD/dimethomorph was more stable than β–CD/dimethomorph, which is ascribed to the fact that the disulfide chain plays an important role in stabilizing the appropriate dual-CD conformation and also promoting the inclusion of the host and guest. In addition, a robust fluorescence method for dimethomorph sensing has been developed based on competitive host–guest interaction by selecting safranine T (ST) as optical indicator and SS–β–CD functionalized reduced graphene oxide (SS–β–CD–RGO) as the receptor. Upon the presence of dimethomorph to the pre-formed SS–β–CD–RGO·ST complex, the ST molecule is displaced by dimethomorph, leading to a “switch–on” fluorescence response. That is due to the fact that the binding constant of the dimethomorph/SS–β–CD complex was more than 5 times greater than that of ST/SS–β–CD. The fluorescence intensity of SS–β–CD–RGO·ST complex increased linearly with increasing concentration of dimethomorph ranging from 0.50 to 20.0 μM. The proposed method showed a detection limit of 0.11 μM for dimethomorph, and was successfully applied for the determination of dimethomorph residues in vegetables (cabbage, spinach) and environmental samples (water, soil) with good precision and recoveries from 96.5% to 104%.

Brombuterol, a new β-adrenergic agonist which can enhance the lean meat-to-fat ratio, is forbidden as an additive in animal feeds for livestock production due to its adverse effects on consumers. In this study, a highly sensitive and specific competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of brombuterol in tissue and feed samples was developed. The immunogen and coating antigen were prepared by directly linking brombuterol to carrier proteins using the diazobenzidine method. The antisera against brombuterol were obtained from immunized rabbits. The IC50 and limit of detection (LOD) values of the superior ELISA were 0.165 ng mL−1 and 0.007 ng mL−1, respectively. The cross-reactivity (CR) values of ELISA with clenbuterol, terbutaline and cimbuterol were less than 6.2%; there was no CR of ELISA with nine other compounds. To investigate the accuracy and precision of the assay, liver, meat and feed samples were spiked with brombuterol at different concentrations and analyzed by ELISA. Acceptable recovery rates of 91.9–115.4% and intra-assay coefficients of variation of 1.5–9.5% (n = 3) were achieved. The ELISA was also validated by HPLC. As revealed, both methods were highly correlated (R2 = 0.9927–0.9994, n = 6). The proposed ELISA was proven to be a feasible method for quantitative analysis of brombuterol in tissue and feed samples.

The authors describe a nanomaterial for solid-phase extraction of carbendazim. Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (mag-MIP-NPs) were obtained by immobilizing the MIP and a thiolated β-cyclodextrin on the surface of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles coated with gold nanoparticles. Both the recognition sites of the MIP and the hydrophobic cavities in the β-cyclodextrin contribute to the specific molecular recognition and extraction of carbendazim. The mag-MIP-NPs have an apparent adsorption capacity of 190 mg⋅g‾ 1 . Spiked vegetables were analyzed by using this material for extraction of carbendazim prior to its determination by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Recoveries range from 90.5 % to 109 %, and the detection limit is 3.0 pg⋅mL‾ 1 .

An environmental friendly fluorescence resonance energy transfer probe for determination of glucose has been developed. The natural pigment, 3-hydroxyflavone, can enter the hydrophobic cavity of beta-cyclodextrin functionalized ZnS quantum dots , forming a fluorescence resonance energy transfer system with beta-cyclodextrin modified ZnS quantum dots as energy donor and 3-hydroxyflavone as energy acceptors. Glucose can be oxidized with assistance of the glucose oxidase to quantitatively produce hydrogen peroxide, which could rapidly quench the fluorescence intensity of the 3-hydroxyflavone in the probe by catalysis of horseradish peroxidase. The probe was successfully applied to determination of glucose in human serum and urine samples, and the results indicated that the average spiking recoveries of glucose ranged from 102 to 113%, with relative standard deviations below 15%. The developed approach were simple and possessed high sensitivity and selective for glucose, and this work provides a new clue for developing fluorescent probe .

To improve the sensitivity of capillary electrophoresis, field-amplified sample injection (FASI) was developed to determine bisphenol A (BPA), α -naphthol ( α -NAP) and β -naphthol ( β -NAP) in drinks and lake water. Parameters (sample matrix, concentration of NaCl, water plug length, sample injection time and voltage) affecting FASI have been systematically investigated. Under optimum conditions, the sensitivity was improved 17.1-, 15.8- and 9.9-fold for BPA, α -NAP and β -NAP, respectively. The detection limits of BPA, α -NAP and β -NAP were 0.071, 0.038 and 0.081 μg mL −1 and the proposed method has been successfully applied to detect BPA, α -NAP and β -NAP in drinks and lake water with recoveries of 82.0–109.3 %.

Graphical Bronze medal : Straczekite δ-Ca 0.24 V 2 O 5 ⋅ H 2 O could be converted into the tunnel β geometry through either a vacuum annealing treatment or the lithiation/delithiation process. Both of the calcium vanadium bronzes exhibit excellent cycling stability as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. Nanorods of δ-Ca 0.24 V 2 O 5 ⋅ H 2 O, a straczekite group mineral with an open double-layered structure, have been successfully fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method and can be transformed into the tunnel β geometry (β-Ca 0.24 V 2 O 5 ) through a vacuum annealing treatment. The generated β-Ca 0.24 V 2 O 5 still preserves the nanorod construction of δ-Ca 0.24 V 2 O 5 ⋅ H 2 O without substantial sintering and degradation of the nanostructure. As cathode materials, both calcium vanadium bronzes exhibit high reversible capacity, good rate capability, as well as superior cyclability. Compared with the hydrated vanadium bronze, the β-Ca 0.24 V 2 O 5 nanorods show better cycling performance (81.68 and 97.93 % capacity retention after 200 cycles at 100 and 400 mA g −1 , respectively) and excellent long-term cyclic stability with an average decay of 0.035 % per cycle over 500 cycles at 500 mA g −1 . Note that the double-layered δ-Ca 0.24 V 2 O 5 ⋅ H 2 O electrode irreversibly converts into β-Ca x V 2 O 5 phase during the initial Li + insertion/extraction process, while in contrast, the β-phase calcium vanadium bronze electrode shows excellent structural stability during cycling. The excellent electrochemical performance demonstrates that the two calcium vanadium bronzes are potential cathode candidates for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Ionic liquids-β-cyclodextrin polymer (ILs-β-CDCP) was attached on Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles to prepare magnetic solid phase extraction agent (Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP). The properties and morphology of Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), size distribution and magnetic analysis. A new method of magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) coupled to ICP-OES for the speciation of Mn(II)/Mn(VII) in water samples was established. The results showed that Mn(VII) and total manganese [Mn(II)+Mn(VII)] were quantitatively extracted after adjusting aqueous sample solution to pH 6.0 and 10.0, respectively. Mn(II) was calculated by subtraction of Mn(VII) from total manganese. Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP showed a higher adsorption capacity toward Mn(II) and Mn(VII). Several factors, such as the pH value, extraction temperature and sample volume, were optimized to achieve the best extraction efficiency. Moreover, the adsorption ability of Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP would not be significantly lower after reusing of 10 times. The accuracy of the developed method was confirmed by analyzing certified reference materials (GSB 07-1189-2000), and by spiking spring water, city water and lake water samples.

A chiral interface has been designed for specific recognition of carboxylic acids using multilayer architectures of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and methylene blue/reduce-graphene (MB@rGO) on glassy carbon electrodes. The advantages of β-CD as a chiral selector and MB@rGO composite as an electrochemical indicator were perfectly presented in this novel interface. It displayed good redox signal for sensing chiral target with high sensitivity and conductivity. Enormous signal differences were obtained after adsorption of target L isomer, due to strong blocking of the electron transfer process of methylene blue. Meanwhile mandelic acid was found to be the best chiral guest and obtained more effective chiral recognition.

The first part of the study is devoted to the comparison between the doping effect of urea (a small molecule) and polyethylene glycol (PEG, a long-chain polymer) on the physical property of metallic gallium (Ga). The physical properties of the Ga composited in the two materials, Ga/urea and Ga/PEG, were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, superconducting quantum interference device, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra and compared with our previous results for the effect of macrocyclic hosts (e.g., cyclodextrins, calixarenes) on the physical modification of metallic Ga. Our data provide new direct evidence that the modification of physical properties of Ga is highly dependent on the nature of dopants used. For example, the addition of a small amount of urea causes a fundamental change in the crystallization behavior of Ga, and the presence of PEG results in the occurrence of a weak paramagnetism of Ga at high fields, both of which are completely different from the effect of other dopants. The other part of the study is devoted to demonstrating whether there is a significant difference in the oxidation process of metallic Ga and its composites. Our result gives a strong positive answer to the question. β- and γ-gallium oxide nanocrystals were obtained by sintering the Ga/urea composite at different temperatures and exhibited distinctive photoluminescence and photocatalysis properties. These results gave a strong impression that the introduction of different dopants leads metallic Ga to generate different features in microstructure, physical property, and especially chemical reactivity. We believe that the findings of this study have important implications for the development of inorganic materials.

Accurate imaging of soft tissues is one of the ultimate goals in biomedical imaging. Different imaging modalities can improve their disadvantages, and promote the imaging ability. However, once an imaging agent has been prepared, it is usually hard to adjust it according to the actual needs. Herein, we developed a supramolecular brush polymer (SBP) as a versatile imaging agent platform. The SBP platform (SBPP) is constructed by the intermolecular inclusion complexation of bridged tris(β-cyclodextrin) (1) with Mn(III)-porphyrin-bearing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains (Mn(III)-TPP), and can further bind other functional groups by host–guest interactions of cyclodextrin and adamantine. The SBPP is characterized by UV/vis absorption spectroscopy, NMR, dynamic light scattering (DLS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We demonstrated that this SBPP not only has no cellular toxicity against NIH 3T3 cells in in vitro cell experiments, but it also shows an efficient enhanced T1 relaxivity in in vitro MR imaging experiments. When used as multifunctional imaging agents, different imaging probes and/or targeting agents can be introduced to this SBPP as needed through simple host–guest interactions. In in vitro imaging experiments, it shows accurate imaging of different kinds of cancer cells by choosing on-demand targeting agents. These results suggest a promising strategy for engineering multifunctional imaging agents with SBPs.
