High heat resistant hydroxyl silicone oil with boron and sulfoxide in backbone (HSOBS) was synthesized by copolymerizing of hydroxyl polyborosiloxane oil (HPBSO) with thionyl chloride (SOCl 2 ). The molecular structure of HSOBS was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopies (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-, 11 B- and 29 Si-NMR) spectroscopies. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that incorporation of sulfoxide group in backbone obviously improved the heat resistant of HSOBS. The temperature at 5% mass loss (T 5 ) and maximum decomposition rate (T max ) of HSOBS-1 were 490 °C and 590 °C, respectively. The thermal degradation activation energy (E a ) was systematically studied by the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method, and the E a of HSOBS was higher than that of HPBSO.

Purpose Combination chemotherapy is gradually receiving more attention because of its potential synergistic effect and reduced drug doses in clinical application. However, how to precisely control drug release dose and time using vehicles remains a challenge. This work developed an efficient drug delivery system to combat breast cancer, which can enhance drug effects despite reducing its concentration. Methods Controlled-release poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) scaffolds were fabricated by E-jet 3D printing to deliver doxorubicin (DOX) and cisplatin (CDDP) simultaneously. Results This drug delivery system allowed the use of a reduced drug dosage resulting in a better effect on the human breast cancer cell apoptosis and inhibiting tumor growth, compared with the effect of each drug and the two drugs administrated without PLGA scaffolds. Our study suggested that DOX-CDDP-PLGA scaffolds could efficiently destroy MDA-MB-231 cells and restrain tumor growth. Conclusions The 3D printed PLGA scaffolds with their time-programmed drug release might be useful as a new multi-drug delivery vehicle in cancer therapy, which has a potential advantage in a long term tumor cure and prevention of tumor recurrence.

Paeoniflorin (PF) has been reported to possess neuroprotective influences on cognitive dysfunction illness. In current research, we attempted to probe into the protective influences of PF against H 2 O 2 -induced damage and the underlying regulating mechanisms on hippocampal HT-22 cells. HT-22 cells were pretreated with PF, and then induced by H 2 O 2 . Afterwards, the influences of PF pretreatment were examined using CCK-8 assay, apoptosis assay, western blot and ROS assay, respectively. In addition, the expression of microRNA-135a (miR-135a) was analyzed and altered by qRT-PCR and cell transfection, respectively. After overexpression of miR-135a, the effects of miR-135a mimic on cell functions were detected again. Moreover, influences of H 2 O 2 , PF and miR-135a overexpression on JAK2/STAT3 and ERK1/2 signal pathways were further investigated. Further experiments verified that PF pretreatment alleviated H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative stress through increasing cell viability, inhibiting cell apoptosis, reducing ROS generation and activating JAK2/STAT3 and ERK1/2 pathways. Besides, expression of miR-135a was declined by PF pretreatment. Whereas, miR-135a mimic abrogated the protective effects triggered by PF pretreatment. These results indicated that PF can alleviate H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative stress by down-regulation of miR-135a via activation of JAK2/STAT3 and ERK1/2 pathways.

Cobaltous oxide/nickel–iron oxide (Co 3 O 4 /NiFe 2 O 4 ) hybrids were fabricated via a template-free hydrothermal route with cyclodextrin as a reactor and a further two-step annealing treatment in an air atmosphere. The hybrid is composed of many small nanoparticles with a particle size distribution range from 20 to 50 nm. The hybrid combined the advantages of Co 3 O 4 and NiFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles, presenting enhanced electrochemical properties than its single component. The Co 3 O 4 /NiFe 2 O 4 (0.6:1) hybrid electrode exhibited the highest specific capacitance and great electrochemical cycle stability (over 90.7% of total capacitance at 2 A g −1 after 1000 cycles and still kept 84.6% at 5 A g −1 after 5000 cycles). This may be ascribed to the common contribution of each component, which not only provided good electronic conductivity for efficient charge transfer but also a stable structure for better ions diffusion. A Co 3 O 4 /NiFe 2 O 4 //AC asymmetry supercapacitor was assembled and manifested the highest energy density of 76.0 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 859.7 W kg −1 and still kept 37.3 Wh kg −1 at the highest power density of 6.0 kW kg −1 . This work indicated that the Co 3 O 4 /NiFe 2 O 4 hybrid should be a potential active material for the electrochemical application.

In the present paper, the ordered Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 pyrochlore was primarily synthesized by flux method and the MgO-Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 composite ceramics were fabricated subsequently through a conventional sintering route. A suite of characterization techniques, including XRD, Raman and BSE-EDS were employed to investigate the phase composition and microstructure of the as-prepared Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 and MgO-Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 samples. The acid solubility of the MgO-Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 composite ceramics was also tested. XRD results showed that the ordered Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 pyrochlore can be synthesized when the calcination temperature is in the range of 850–1200 °C. Raman results suggested that the chemical bonds of Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 pyrochlore get stronger, and more ordered structure can be gradually formed with the increase of calcining temperature. For the MgO-Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 composite ceramics, XRD results also showed that the Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 phase in the composite ceramics presents higher crystallinity degree and no other phase is formed after sintering at 1400–1550 °C. Moreover, BSE-EDS results indicated that the MgO-Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 composite ceramics are compact and dense, and the MgO and Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 phases are almost uniformly distributed between each other. In addition, the relative density of the bulk ceramics was about 96–98%, and it was concluded that ≥ 1500 °C could be the suitable sintering temperature to produce MgO-Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 composite ceramics. At last, the dissolution behavior of the ceramics in nitric acid solution revealed that only MgO in the MgO-Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 composite ceramics can be dissolved in the 11 M HNO 3 solution within 24 h, and the dissolution rate was relatively low because of the high densification of the sample.

In this study, a fingerprint-activity relationship between chemical fingerprints and hepatoprotective activity was established to evaluate the quality of salt-treated Apocyni Veneti Folium (AVF). Characteristic fingerprints of AVF samples exposed to different concentrations of salt were generated by ultrafast liquid chromatography tandem triple time-of-flight mass/mass spectrometry (UFLC-Triple TOF-MS/MS), and a similarity analysis was performed based on common characteristic peaks by hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). Then, the hepatoprotective activity of AVF against CCl 4 -induced acute liver damage in mice was investigated by assessing biochemical markers and histopathology, which showed that a high dose of AVF exposed to low levels of salt stress produced a marked amelioration of hepatic damage compared with the other salt-treated AVF. Finally, fingerprint-activity relationship modeling, which was capable of discovering the bioactive markers used in the quality evaluation, was investigated by the chemical fingerprints and the hepatoprotective activities utilizing multivariate statistical analysis, gray correlation analysis (GCA) and bivariate correlation analysis (BCA). The results showed that the accumulation of polyphenols, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, in AVF subjected to low levels of salt stress could result in the effective scavenging of free radicals. Therefore, the present study may provide a powerful strategy to holistically evaluate the quality of salt-treated AVF in combination with chemical fingerprint and bioactivity evaluation.

Genotyping by targeting short tandem repeats (STRs) has been widely used in forensic applications. However, most commercial kits detect autosomal STRs or Y-STRs alone, which waste both time and opportunity. The AGCU Expressmarker 16 + 22Y Kit includes 16 autosomal and 22 Y-chromosomal STR loci and is designed for the forensic science field and obtaining quicker results. Here, we conducted the validation study according to Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM) guidelines. Validation of PCR-based studies, species specificity, sensitivity, DNA mixture studies, inhibitors, precision, and sizing accuracy were performed. Furthermore, this system was also tested in 346 random male samples from Han, Hui, Tibetan, and Zhuang populations in China, showing its high power for forensic discrimination in the Chinese population. In addition, this system was able to deal with AMELY deletion cases, which can correctly identify sex in forensic criminal investigations. Our results suggested that the AGCU Expressmarker 16 + 22Y Kit is a useful tool for rapid criminal investigation.

A ratiometric electrochemiluminescent (ECL) assay is described for the determination of the calcium(II) regulator calcitonin (CT). The method is making use of (a) graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) as the cathodic luminophore, (b) N-(aminobutyl)-N-(ethylisoluminol) (ABEI) as the anodic luminophore, and (c) peroxodisulfate and dissolved oxygen as coreactants. The luminous potential of g-C 3 N 4 and ABEI can be well distinguished because of their different luminescent properties. Energy transfer between g-C 3 N 4 and ABEI is not observed, and the coreactants peroxodisulate and oxygen do not interfere with each other. Au nanoparticles were functionalized with g-C 3 N 4 and placed on the electrode to serve as a matrix for immobilization of primary antibody (Ab 1 ). In the presence of CT, it will bind to the electrode. Then secondary antibody (Ab 2 ) modified with polyaniline (PANI) and ABEI is incubated onto the electrode. With the increase in the concentration of CT, the blue ECL of g-C 3 N 4 is quenched by PANI, while the blue luminescence of ABEI is enhanced. This enables ratiometric detection of calcitonin by ratioing the internsities at 460 and 475 nm. Response is linear in the 0.1~40 pg·mL −1 CT concentration range, and the limit of detection is 23 fg·mL −1 . The method breaks the limitation of common ECL ratiometric strategy, namely, two luminophores often share the common coreactant.
Schematic representation of an immunoassay where polyaniline (PANI) in a BSA-Ab 2 -ABEI-Au@PANI composite quenches the cathodic signal of a graphitic carbon nitride (Au-g-C 3 N 4 ) modified with gold nanoparticles (Au), while N-(aminobutyl)-N-(ethylisolumino) (ABEI) in the BSA-Ab 2 -ABEI-Au@PANI composit produces an anodic signal that enables quantitation of calcitonin.

Germanium-based materials as anode can improve the capacity of lithium-ion battery because of its excellent lithium-ion storage ability. But the application of Ge anode is hampered by the huge volume variation during de/lithiation processes. Herein, a Ge/Cu wire mesh (Ge/Cu-WM) electrode is prepared by ionic liquid electrodeposition, where the Ge nano-film is deposited on Cu wire mesh. The unique structure of Ge/Cu-WM electrode not only buffers the volume expansion but also enhances electron migration and electron transport during lithiation. The Cu 3 Ge is observed by XRD, which confirms that the Ge nano-film tightly attach to the Cu wires. All structural properties give the electrode excellent electrochemical performance, where a capacity of 633 mAh/g after 100 cycles at 0.1 C is obtained. The reasonable structure and improved cycling stability make Ge-based anodes highly attractive for lithium-ion battery applications.

Abstract A novel method, based on modified silver nanoparticles, for high-throughput visual detection of heavy metal ions in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products was developed including a key pretreatment process in which tetrahydrofuran was used to dissolve PVC powder samples quickly. Heavy metal ions were successfully transferred from THF to the aqueous phase by the liquid–liquid extraction method during the pretreatment procedures. Then, enriched Cu 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Cr 3+ were detected by three kinds of silver nanoparticles (4-MBA-AgNPs, 4-MBA-MA-AgNPs, and 4-NBT/4-MBA-AgNPs) using naked eyes and microplate reader, respectively. The visual detection limits of Cu 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Cr 3+ were 1.0 × 10 −6 M, 1.0 × 10 −7 M, and 1.0 × 10 −6 M, while the detection limits of Cu 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Cr 3+ were 2.5 × 10 −8 M, 5.0 × 10 −8 M, and 5.0 × 10 −8 M using microplate reader, respectively. Apparently, the proposed method could provide a potent means in the practical detection of heavy metal ions in PVC products with advantages of low-cost, rapid, high-throughput, and on-site detection.

Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) and related polyimide (PI)/BNNSs composite films are synthesized by a molten salt intercalation-mechanical assisted stripping method and an in situ method respectively. The structures and morphologies of BNNSs and PI/BNNSs composite film were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR). The thermsal stability and electrical properties of the PI/BNNSs composite film were further investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TG), dynamic mechniacal anlysis (DMA), insulation resistance tester, withstand voltage tester, broadband dielectric–impedance spectroscopy and corona resistance system (CRS) separately. For example, the corona resistance lifetime of PI/2.5BNNSs composite film is 36 min, which is 24 times than that of pure PI film. The result indicates that BNNSs, as a two-dimension material with high aspect ratio and the anisotropic characteristic, can be applied as one corona-resistant material.

Real-time tracking drug release behavior is fundamentally important for avoiding adverse effects or unsuccessful treatment in personalize medical treatment. However, the development of a non-invasive drug reporting platform still remains challenging. Herein the design of a novel synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agent for drug release tracking (SMART) is reported, which integrates photothermal core and paramagnetic ion/drug loading shell with a thermal valve in a hybrid structure. Through near-infrared (NIR)-II photothermal effect originating from inner Au-Cu 9 S 5 nanohybrid core, burst release of drugs loaded in the mesoporous silica shell is achieved. The concomitant use of a phase change material not only prevents premature drug release, but also regulates heating effect, keeping local temperature below 45 °C, enabling synergistic chemotherapy and mild hyperthermia in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the drug release from SMART facilitates proton accessibility to the paramagnetic ions anchored inside mesopores channels, enhancing longitudinal T 1 relaxation rate and displaying positive signal correlation to the amount of released drug, thus allowing non-invasive real-time monitoring of drug release event. The current study highlights the potential of designed MRI nanophores such as SMART for real-time and in-situ monitoring of drug delivery for precision theranostic applications.
