Human T-cell lymphophilic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the known retrovirus causing cancer in humans, is closely associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis. Due to its ability to evade the host's defense mechanisms, early tracking of HTLV-1 becomes crucial. In this study, we integrate λ-Exonuclease (λ-Exo)-assisted target recycling with a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated template-free DNA extension process to develop an electrochemical analysis platform for the specific and sensitive detection of HTLV-1 DNA. During the λ-Exo-assisted target recycling, HTLV-1 DNA is recognized by hairpin DNA (Hp-DNA), forming double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) through DNA hybridization. The dsDNA, featuring blunt 5' terminal phosphorylation, is cleaved by λ-Exo, generating abundant short output sequence (sDNA). HTLV-1 DNA is released, initiating a cyclic hybridization-cleavage process. Subsequently, thiol-labelled capture DNA (CP-DNA) assembled on gold electrode surface captures a substantial amount of the generated sDNA, forming CP-DNA-sDNA nanostructures. When TdT and dNTPs are present on the electrode surface, the 3'-OH terminal of sDNA extends to generate long single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) structure. Methylene blue (MB) is selected as the electrochemical signal molecule. MB not only binds with ssDNA but also interacts specifically with dsDNA, resulting in a significantly enhanced electrochemical signal on modified electrode surface. The detection limit of HTLV-1 DNA is as low as 19 amol/L ( S / N = 3) when the two signal amplification strategies are combined. The analysis platform exhibits excellent analytical performance and holds promise as a novel tool for the early tracing and diagnosis of HTLV-1 DNA.

In order to develop an efficient and environmental friendly approach for epoxidation of soybean oil (SO), a series of hetero-catalysts, titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) with different Si/Ti ratio (TS-1- x , x = 40, 70, 80), mesoporous TS-1-40 (MTS-1-40) and anatase TiO 2 , were prepared under controlled conditions. These different catalysts were characterized by various characterization methods like XRD , IR, UV–Vis, TGA , ICP , SEM, TEM and N 2 -adsorption, respectively, and the catalytic reaction experiments of the SO epoxidation were studied systematically using hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) as clean oxidant over the different catalysts. The results reveal that the TS-1- x catalysts exhibit higher epoxidation catalytic activity and less consumption of H 2 O 2 than anatase TiO 2 , and the number of framework Ti sites in TS-1 structure played a very important role in their catalytic performance of the epoxidation reaction, which is attributed to the unique nature and coordination geometry of the Ti sites in TS-1 framework. Furthermore, the reusability and regeneration behaviors of TS-1-40 catalyst were also studied.

Dendrolimus punctatuscauses great damage to pine forests worldwide. Dendrolimus punctatus cypovirus 1 (DpCPV-1) is an important pathogen ofD. punctatus. However, the mechanism of DpCPV-1 cell entry has not been elucidated. In this study, we revealed that both GTase and MTase domains of VP3 (B-spike) and VP4 (A-spike) of DpCPV-1 interacted with the midgut proteins ofBombyx mori. Binding and competition assays revealed that GTase, MTase and VP4 played roles as viral attachment proteins. Far-Western blotting and LC-MS/MS analyses identified that heat shock protein 70 (BmHSP70), glutamate dehydrogenase (BmGDH), and angiotensin-converting enzyme (BmACE) in the midgut proteins as ligand candidates of the viral attachment proteins, and this was further verified by co-immunoprecipitation and fluorescence co-localization assays. Viral binding to the host midgutin vitrowas inhibited by pre-treatingB. morimidgut proteins with anti-BmHSP70, anti-BmGDH, anti-BmACE antibodies singly and in combination. Incubating DpCPV-1 virions with prokaryotically expressed BmHSP70, BmGDH, and BmACE also decreased viral attachment to the host midgut.In vivobioassays revealed that viral infection inHelicoverpa armigerawas partially neutralized by BmHSP70, BmGDH, and BmACE. Taking together, we concluded that HSP70, GDH, and ACE mediate DpCPV attachment and entry via binding to the viral attachment proteins, VP3 and VP4. The findings provide foundation for further understanding the entry mechanisms of cypoviruses.

Photocatalysis CO 2 reduction into high-value-added chemical feedstocks is desirable for simultaneously addressing the solar energy storage, CO 2 excess and energy shortage issues. In this work, a kind of original S-scheme BiOBr-(0 0 1)/Bi 2 SiO 5 /Bi (OSB) heterostructure photocatalyst with rich oxygen vacancies is in-situ synthesized, which significantly promotes the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance. Interestingly, the lower formation energy of oxygen vacancy exhibits the easy feasibility on the BiOBr-(0 0 1) surface via the assistant of ultrasound. There exists the highest photocatalytic CO 2 reduction activity to CO of 234.05 μmol g -1 h −1 for OSB-20 sample (ultrasound time: 20 min), higher 3.3 times than OSB-0 sample (without ultrasound). Combined with experimental and calculated results, the significative formation mechanism, widened light-response range, highly-efficient separation/transfer paths and improved redox-reduction abilities of photogenerated electron-hole pairs for S-scheme OSB-20 heterostructure are investigated and proposed. Our findings provide new insights for the construction and synthesis of the S-scheme Bi-based heterojunction photocatalyst system.

A novel Michael/alkylation cascade reaction of N-unprotected 3-bromooxindoles with α,β-unsaturated acyl phosphonates using DABCO as a robust catalyst followed by the derivatization of the acyl phosphonate intermediates in situ has been developed. This scenario enables rapid access to a diverse set of highly functionalized spirocyclopropyl oxindoles in moderate yields with good to excellent diastereoselectivities, which are analogues of a high active non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor against HIV-1. The synthetic potential of this tactic has been highlighted by a gram-scale reaction and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of the product. Moreover, the reaction mechanism has been tentatively elucidated by control experiments and dynamic high-resolution mass spectrometry studies, which indicates that the Michael/alkylation cascade reaction involves DABCO-derived α-substituted ammonium ylides.

Synthetic vascular grafts are promising conduits for small caliber arteries. However, due to restenosis caused by intimal hyperplasia, they cannot keep long patency in vivo. In this work, through single cell RNA sequencing, we found that thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) was highly expressed in the regenerated smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) vascular grafts. The expression of THBS1 by injured SMCs was confirmed in a balloon-induced vascular injury model. Downregulation of Thbs1 expression maintained contractile phenotypes of SMCs and reduced neointimal hyperplasia after vascular injury via inhibition of FGFR1/EGR1 signaling by decreasing THBS1 expression. THBS1 small interfering RNA (THBS1-siRNA) was then loaded into macrophage membrane (MM) hybrid lipid nanoparticles (Lipid NP@MM), which were used to modify PCL vascular grafts via polydopamine (PDA) coatings. Lipid NP@MM not only protected THBS1-siRNA from degradation but also improved its internalization by SMCs to decrease the level of THBS1 expression. PCL vascular grafts modified with PDA coatings and Thbs1-siRNA-loaded Lipid NP@MM showed significantly reduced intimal hyperplasia. Thus, the downregulation of THBS1 expression in regenerated SMCs in vascular grafts is a promising strategy to inhibit intimal hyperplasia during vascular graft regeneration in vivo.

This study is aimed at exploring the potential of isorhamnetin in protection against diabetes-exacerbated ischemia/reperfusion-induced brain injury and elucidating its action mechanism. After establishment of the model of high glucose (HG)-aggravated oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R), HT22 cell viability was detected by CCK-8. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, casapase-3 activity, and oxidative stress-related markers in HT22 cells were detected by corresponding commercial kits. The apoptosis of HG-treated HT22 cells following OGD/R was observed with TUNEL staining. The level of pro-inflammatory cytokines was examined by ELISA. The expression of Akt/SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling-related proteins was assayed by Western blot. The results showed that HG noticeably worsened the OGD/R-induced apoptosis of HT22 cells. Isorhamnetin relieved the HG-aggravated OGD/R-induced apoptosis, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress of HT22 cells. Isorhamnetin alleviated the HG-aggravated OGD/R injury in HT22 cells through Akt/SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Meanwhile, treatment with Akt inhibitor LY294002 reversed the protective effects of isorhamnetin against HG-aggravated OGD/R injury in HT22 cells. In a conclusion, Isorhamnetin alleviates HG-aggravated OGD/R in HT22 hippocampal neurons through Akt/SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

In this investigation, a series of (1 − x ) Bi 1− y Ho y FeO 3 – x Ba 0.8 Ca 0.2 TiO 3 (0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.4; y = 0.025) ceramic solid solutions were synthesized using a conventional solid-state reaction route. The primary goal of this study was to perceive the significance of substitution on the structural, magnetic, dielectric, and resistive properties of the ceramic solid solution. The investigation suggested the trace of weak ferromagnetism in all of the samples. A methodical XRD-based phase structural study revealed a presence of a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in the range of 0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.35, showing robust dielectric properties in the MPB region, as verified by the dielectric measurements. A room temperature A.C conductivity study and activation energy calculation advocated an improved resistive property in the x = 0.3 sample.

In this work, the density and viscosity data for binary mixtures of dimethyl carbonate with 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, 1-nonanol, and 1-decanol were presented from 303.15 K to 333.15 K at atmospheric pressure over different concentration ranges. The density and viscosity measurement was carried out based on the vibrating-tube densimeter and Ubbelohde capillary viscometer, respectively. Derived properties, such as excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations, were calculated from the experimental values, and were correlated based on the Redlich-Kister equation. In addition, excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations of the studied mixtures were analyzed and compared with other DMC/1-alcohols mixtures reported in the literatures.

Herein, we report a simple and attractive self-assembly strategy for preparing graphene oxide–multiwalled carbon nanotube–(1-pyrenemethylamine)–gold (GO–MWCNT–PMA–Au) nanocomposites using 1-pyrenemethylamine (PMA) as a coupling agent. The morphology and composition of the nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Further, a non-enzymatic nitrite sensor was fabricated by immobilizing GO–MWCNT–PMA–Au nanocomposites on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). To obtain the optimal electrochemical experimental conditions, the effects of pH value and the volume of the as-prepared Au nanoparticle suspension were carefully investigated. Its electrochemical sensing properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The electrochemical investigation showed that the GO–MWCNT–PMA–Au nanocomposites exhibited good catalytic performance for the oxidation of nitrite. The nitrite electrochemical sensor presented a wide linear range from 2.0 × 10−6 to 1.0 × 10−2 mol L−1, a high sensitivity of 483.51 μA mM−1 cm−2 and a low detection limit of 0.67 μmol L−1 at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 (S/N = 3). It also exhibited good anti-interference capability and stability. This paper provides a self-assembly strategy for preparing nanocomposites which are used to construct improved electrochemical sensors.

3-Decyl-1-(3-pyrrole-propyl)imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (DPIMBF4) ionic liquid was synthesized and characterized. DPIMBF4 ionic liquid not only possesses a pyrrole group that can be electrochemically polymerized onto a glassy carbon electrode surface by using a multipotential step technique, but it also contains a long carbon chain that can improve the stability of a polymerized ionic liquid film in an aqueous solution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to confirm the successful polymerization of the ionic liquid. Voltammetry was employed to investigate the electrochemical behaviors of an environmental estrogen, hexestrol, at the polymerized ionic liquid film electrode. Hexestrol presents an irreversible oxidation peak at the polymerized DPIMBF4 ionic liquid film electrode. Compared with the bare glassy carbon electrode, the oxidation peak of hexestrol increased significantly on the polymerized DPIMBF4 ionic liquid film electrode. The oxidation peak current was found to be linearly related to hexestrol concentration in the range of 5.0 × 10−9 to 1.0 × 10−5 mol L−1. The detection limit was calculated to be 1.25 × 10−9 mol L−1 (S/N = 3). Hexestrol in crucian meat was determined using the polymerized DPIMBF4 ionic liquid film electrode with good accuracy.
