Optical anticounterfeiting labels based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with enriched molecular “fingerprint” information is not only related to the enhanced sensitive detection but also strongly dependent on excellent long-time stability of nano-platforms. By virtue of in-situ overgrowth of highly dense and close-packed Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets, herein, we prepared an extraordinary SERS active nano-substrates with exceptional long-term stability for achieving ultrastable anticounterfeiting tags. The obtained Ag@Ti 3 C 2 T x exhibit a significantly SERS activity with a detection limit of methylene blue (MB) molecules as low at 10 -16 M, approaching 0.1 femtomole (fM) ultra-trace level. More importantly, since nearly all active Ag NPs were completely encapsulated in the 2D supports, the unparalleled stability of the resultant Ag@Ti 3 C 2 T x can be undoubtedly verified by immersing them into H 2 O 2 oxidative solution, which is obviously better than that of bare Ag NPs. Then, the hybrid Ag@Ti 3 C 2 T x were subsequently incorporated into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to obtain transparent flexible Ag@Ti 3 C 2 T x @PDMS, giving rise to the ultra-sensitive SERS imaging-based steganographic information. Interestingly, the ultrastable anticounterfeiting capability of the smart SERS nano-platforms is further highlighted by keeping them even after for 400 days storage. The present work holds a great potential for propelling robust SERS-based steganography in many practical real-world scenarios.

Background Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive gastrointestinal tumor with limited treatment options, such as surgery and chemotherapy. Thus, further research into its pathogenesis and new treatments is necessary. Methods Fluorescence-activated cell sorting was employed to sort pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs). Sphere formation assays and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays were conducted to assess stemness and proliferation capacity. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were employed to assess gene expression levels. Furthermore, immunofluorescence microscopy and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were conducted to examine alterations in signaling pathways and gene expression. Results Quercetin and gemcitabine may inhibit PANC-1 cells and PCSCs by affecting energy metabolism. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed an interaction between STAT3 and CPT1B in PCSCs. Quercetin and gemcitabine might affect energy metabolism by inhibiting STAT3 and CPT1B. Manipulating STAT3 expression (overexpression plasmids and siRNA knockdown) altered CPT1B mRNA and protein expression. Although acetyl-CoA reversed the quercetin- and gemcitabine-induced expression of N-cadherin, DECR1, and ALDH, it had minimal influence on CPT1B and STAT3 levels. Conclusion Quercetin inhibits the expression of CPT1B via the STAT3 signaling pathway, affecting lipid metabolism and exerting antitumor effects. Furthermore, the combined administration of quercetin and gemcitabine exhibits enhanced therapeutic efficacy.

Graphical Two photochemically deoxygenating compounds, PEG-200 and PEGDA-575, have been used as solvents for triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion in air, with both serving as sensitized singlet oxygen scavengers. A high-level information encryption platform has been developed using Pt(OEP)/DPA/PEGDA-575 or Pt(OEP)/DPA/PEGDA-575/PEG-200 ink that enables data to be read under specific light or at a certain time and erased by light exposure. Photochemical deoxygenation offers a promising solution to the oxygen sensitivity issue in Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC). This study utilized polyethylene glycol (PEG)-200 and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA)-575 as solvents and singlet oxygen scavengers for TTA-UC conducted in air. The upconversion efficiency of Pt(OEP)/DPA in aerated PEG-200 is similar to that in nitrogen-saturated PEG-200. Prolonged 532 nm light irradiation causes a PEGDA-575 solution of Pt(OEP)/DPA to undergo photoinitiated polymerization via homomolecular TTA, leading to a reduction in DPA's upconversion emission and an increase in Pt(OEP)’s phosphorescence. These results enabled the development of a high-level information encryption platform using the direct-writing method with Pt(OEP)/DPA/PEGDA-575 or Pt(OEP)/DPA/PEGDA-575/PEG-200 ink. The information is only readable under certain lighting conditions or at specific times and can be erased by exposure to light.

Transition metal-based materials have emerged as a promising catalyst for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation in pollutant removal. However, challenges such as nano-material agglomeration, high metal ion leaching, and low reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield still hinder their practical application. In this work, the CoP/NF successfully was synthesized to tune PMS activation from a radical pathway to a non-radical dominated pathway for efficient degradation of organic pollutants. The incorporation of phosphorus element modulated the cobalt-based catalyst surface charge state and induced local charge density, facilitating the catalytic activity. Consequently, at optimal conditions (catalyst = 1.5 cm 2 , PMS = 0.3 g/L), CoP/NF achieved nearly complete removal of 40 mg/L rhodamine B (RhB) within 2 min over a wide pH (3.0–9.0), and maintained a strong anti-interference capacity for NO 3 − , PO 4 2− , Cl − . Furthermore, the degradation efficiency of RhB in the CoP/NF + PMS system remained 98 % even after 5 cycles. Impressively, ROS trapping and electron spin resonance (EPR) analyses revealed that the degradation process was dominantly driven by superoxide radicals (O 2 •– ) and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), which served as the key mechanism for the CoP/NF + PMS system. This work provided further insights into tuning PMS activation pathway via the integration of metal phosphides growth on nickel foam for sustainable water treatment.

Aluminum powder is widely used as a metal fuel in solid propellants, thermite reactions and other energy-rich materials due to its excellent energetic properties. However, its performance is often hindered by ignition delay, incomplete combustion and particle agglomeration, making the efficient utilization of aluminum a persistent focus of research. In this work, we have used trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) to prepare modified aluminum powders (Al@PTFEMA) with different fluoropolymer coating concentrations by in situ polymerization technology and systematically investigated its effect on the ignition and combustion characteristics of aluminum powders and propellants. The experimental results demonstrated that the fluoropolymer coating effectively suppressed surface oxidation of the aluminum powder, reducing surface oxygen content from 25.3 % to 1.8 %. Additionally, the preignition reaction (PIR) generated AlF₃ and other gaseous products, enhancing gas production performance. This combination significantly shortened the ignition delay time of the aluminum powder. In the propellant system, the sample PF3 containing 7.5 % Al@PTFEMA (AF3) exhibited optimal performance. At 1 MPa pressure, its burning rate decreased by 32 %. Under 7 MPa, combustion efficiency improved from 76.63 % to 96.61 % compared to the baseline propellant. Furthermore, the particle size of condensed combustion products (CCPs) decreased by 34 %. In addition, the modulation mechanism of Al@PTFEMA on the combustion characteristics of modified aluminum particle and propellant was revealed, providing theoretical support for the application of fluoropolymers in aluminum-based propellants.

It is widely acknowledged that glucose serves as the primary energy source for organisms. However, fish exhibit persistent postprandial hyperglycemia and are thought to have low glucose tolerance. Glycolysis serves as the ubiquitous pathway for glucose catabolism, with phosphofructokinase (PFK) acting as a crucial rate-limiting enzyme in this process and playing an indispensable role. PFK is classified into three isoforms based on their major expression sites, i.e., PFKM (skeletal muscle type), PFKL (liver type) and PFKP (platelet type). In this study, grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ) was used as animal model and the open reading frame (ORF) sequences of six PFK genetic isoforms of grass carp were cloned. Real-time PCR was used to detect its tissue distribution, and expression changes in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), insulin and glucagon injection experiments. The results showed that the ORF of pfkla , pfklb , pfkma , pfkmb , pfkpa and pfkpb genes was 2343, 2340, 2355, 2331, 2364 and 2349 bp in length, respectively. The results of tissue distribution showed that pfkla and pfklb , homologous to mammalian pfkl , exhibited low expression levels in the liver of grass carp, but were expressed at the highest level in the brain. Muscle-type pfkma and pfkmb mRNA were found to be highly expressed in both red and white muscle, with pfkmb also exhibiting high expression levels in the heart, while platelet type pfkpa and pfkpb showed high mRNA abundances in the brain and heart. Oral glucose administration stimulated pfkma and pfkmb mRNA expression in the red muscle, and up-regulated pfklb mRNA levels in the liver at 3 h post treatment, but it suppressed liver-type and platelet-type PFK genes expression in the brain. The expression of pfkmb in white muscle and pfkmb and pfkpb in heart were promoted by insulin, whereas the expression of pfkla and pfkpb in the brain, pfkma and pfkmb in the red muscle, pfkma in the white muscle, and pfklb in the liver was suppressed by insulin. As for glucagon, it inhibited pfkma and pfkmb mRNA expression in the red muscle, as well as pfklb in the liver, but it up-regulated PFK genes expression in most tissues detected, such as brain ( pfklb , pfkpa and pfkpb ), white muscle ( pfkma and pfkmb ), liver ( pfkla ) and heart ( pfkmb and pfkpb ). Our results suggest that PFK family genes have different or even opposite expression patterns in response to glucose, insulin and glucagon stimulation in various tissues of grass carp, which may contribute to glucose intolerance in fish.

By employing the oxidation property of hypochlorite (OCl − ), a new probe based on coumarin dye and an OCl − -specific reactive moiety of hydrazide group was designed and synthesized. The probe rendered turn-on type fluorogenic response toward OCl − via hypochlorite-triggered oxidative hydrolysis of hydrazide to release strongly fluorescent coumarin. Most notably, the probe showed sufficiently satisfactory selectivity to OCl − over other oxidants, and high sensitivity with approximate 18-fold fluorescence enhancement at nanomolar level. Moreover, the fast detection of OCl − could be realized by the probe with only 30 s. The interaction mechanism has been proposed and further confirmed by the changes in electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra. The probe was also successfully applied to fluorescence imaging of OCl − in its vitro macrophage cells.

The toxicological detection of the new synthetic cathinone 4′-methyl-α-pyrrolidinohexanophenone (MPHP) in urine samples has been impossible, because much of MPHP is metabolized before its excretion into urine. In this study, we successfully quantified unmetabolized MPHP in urine of an autopsy case using a sensitive method by liquid chromatography–time-of-flight-mass spectrometry. The quantification method showed good linearity in the range of 1.00–100 ng/mL, and the limit of detection was 0.5 ng/mL in human urine. In the autopsy case, the concentrations of MPHP in urine, plasma, and liver tissue samples were determined to be 60.1, 32.9 ng/mL, and 63.1 ng/g, respectively.

TiO 2 @NH 2 -MIL-125, composite photocatalysts with close interfacial contact between NH 2 -MIL-125 and TiO 2 , were successfully synthesized via an in-situ solvothermal method for formaldehyde (HCHO) removal under UV irradiation. Samples were characterized by using a variety of analytical techniques. The results showed that TiO 2 particles were highly dispersed on the surface of NH 2 -MIL-125, and there was a strong electronic interaction (Ti-N-C) between elements of the composite. TiO 2 @NH 2 -MIL-125 exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance for HCHO removal compared to pure TiO 2 and NH 2 -MIL-125 that was ascribed to the synergistic combination of high adsorption capacity of NH 2 -MIL-125, high dispersion of TiO 2 and efficient interfacial charge transfer between TiO 2 and NH 2 -MIL-125. Furthermore, the HCHO removal rate over the composite remained at 90% after 122 h of continuous photocatalytic reaction, indicating the high stability of the catalyst. This work provides new insights that will be helpful in the further development of photocatalysts for indoor air purification.

Conventional flocculants are difficult to effectively remove dissolved ions and organic matter from water. This work aims to develop an environmentally friendly and renewable core–shell type flocculant (MCHS-g-P(AM-IA)) with octopus tentacle-like strong adsorption structure. The organic shell hydrolyses into molecular chains like octopus tentacles and adsorb dissolved ions/organic macromolecules through suckers-like functional groups, while the magnetic core acts as the growth center of flocs. Configuration and physical/chemical properties of the flocculant were analyzed by a series of characterization methods. Set Cu(II) and malachite green (MG) as models of heavy metal and organic pollutants separately, the removal capacity of MCHS-g-P(AM-IA) for water contaminants was studied in single-contaminant system and binary-contaminant system. The flocculation behavior and mechanism of MCHS-g-P(AM-IA) were deeply investigated by analysis of pH-dependence, background cationic influence and flocculation kinetics and SEM-EDS/XPS analysis of flocs. Furthermore, the flocculation performance in actual water matrix and regeneration tests of MCHS-g-P(AM-IA) were carried out to evaluate the applicable feasibility of flocculants for purification of complex wastewater in single stage water treatment.

A novel method based on direct analysis in real time integrated with mass spectrometry was established and applied into rapid determination of ginkgolic acids in Ginkgo biloba kernels and leaves. Instrument parameter settings were optimized to obtain the sensitive and accurate determination of ginkgolic acids. At the sample introduction speed of 0.2 mm/s, high intensity of [M–H] – ions for ginkgolic acids were observed in the negative ion mode by utilization of high-purity helium gas at 450°C. Two microliters of methanol extract of G. biloba kernels or leaves dropped on the surface of Quick-Strip module was analyzed after solvent evaporated to dryness. A series of standard solutions of ginkgolic acid 13:0 in the range of 2–50 mg/L were analyzed with a correlation coefficient r = 0.9981 and relative standard deviation ( n = 5) from 12.5 to 13.7%. The limit of detection was 0.5 mg/L. The results of direct analysis in real time-mass spectrometry were in agreement with those observed by thermochemolysis gas chromatography. The proposed method demonstrated significant potential in the application of the high-throughput screening and rapid analysis for ginkgolic acids in dietary supplements.
