Objectives To investigate the lipase-catalyzed synthesis of high purity sn -1/3 and sn -2 monoacylglycerols (1/3-MAG and 2-MAG) of different fatty acids (FAs). Results The 1/3-MAGs of three FAs (16:0, 17:0, 16:1) were synthesized using lipase-catalyzed esterification of glycerol with FAs. The 2-MAGs were obtained from the ethanolysis of synthetic triacylglycerols using sn -1,3 regiospecific lipase. The effects of lipase types, substrate ratio, temperature, reaction time and lipase load on the MAG conversion were studied. Under the optimal conditions, high purities (96.74%, 95.44%, 92.96%) with acceptable isolated yields (51.00%, 54.28%, 46.00%) were obtained for 1/3-16:0-MAG, 1/3-17:0-MAG, and 1/3-16:1-MAG, respectively. For 2-16:0-MAG, 2-17:0-MAG, and 2-16:1-MAG, the purities were 92.64, 95.04, and 96.48%, with isolated yields of 50.64, 52.16, and 26.12%, respectively. The molecular structures of the synthetic compounds were confirmed by 1 H NMR, and MS and the melting points were characterized by DSC. Conclusions High purity MAG isomers can be synthesized via lipase-catalyzed reactions to be building blocks for production of functional lipids, the melting points of which are largely governed by the hydrophobic interactions among the alkanyl chains.

A new series of fused polyheterocyclic aromatic compounds, 7-alkoxybezopyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-3-one (C-
n
BPP), were synthesised and characterised by infrared, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C-NMR and two-dimensional 1H-13C cosy spectra. Their phase transition behaviour was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarising optical microscopy. All of these compounds showed enantiotropic mesophases with temperature domains of 12–60°C and 22–69°C on heating and cooling processes for a carbon number of the alkoxy chain from 2 to 10. The effect of the length of the alkoxy chain on the mesomorphic properties was discussed. Comparison of C-
n
BPP and several kinds of coumarin derivatives indicated that the intermolecular hydrogen bonding acted as the driving force of the mesophase formation.

A series of lanthanide-rich oxyborates LiLn 6 O 5 (BO 3 ) 3 (LLnOB, Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy, and Ho) have been synthesized using high temperature solid state method. Their magnetic and magnetocaloric properties were investigated upon magnetic susceptibility ( χ ), magnetization ( M ), and isothermal magnetic entropy change ( −ΔS m ) measurements. The maximum − ΔS m, max of LiGd 6 O 5 (BO 3 ) 3 is 44.7 J kg −1 K −1 at 4 K and Δμ 0 H = 9 T, which is higher than the one of commercial Gd 3 Ga 5 O 12 (GGG, −ΔS m, max = 41.8 J kg −1 K −1 at 2 K for Δμ 0 H = 9 T). For LiHo 6 O 5 (BO 3 ) 3 , −ΔS m, max is 14.12 J kg −1 K −1 at 3 K and Δμ 0 H = 2 T, which is also larger than that of Ho 3 Ga 5 O 12 (HoGG, − ΔS m, max = 4.38 J kg −1 K −1 at 2 K for Δμ 0 H = 2 T) and Dy 3 Ga 5 O 12 (DGG, − ΔS m, max = 11.0 J kg −1 K −1 at 2 K for Δμ 0 H = 2 T). These results indicate that LiGd 6 O 5 (BO 3 ) 3 and LiHo 6 O 5 (BO 3 ) 3 may be competitive candidates for applications as magnetic refrigerants. Moreover, thermal stability, infrared spectrum (IR), and ultraviolet–visible-near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV–Vis-NIR) were carried out to characterize the title compounds.

The search of novel second-harmonic generation crystals in gallium selenite systems results in three new compounds of MGa2(SeO3)4 (M = Sr, Pb) and BiGa(SeO3)3. The isostructural MGa2(SeO3)4 (M = Sr, Pb) are centrosymmetric (P1̅, no. 2). The structures represent a complicated three-dimensional skeleton containing two different types of Ga4Se4 8-member polyhedral ring tunnels with the counter cations located at the broad ones. When the divalent counter cations were substituted by a trivalent lone pair cation of Bi(III), a novel noncentrosymmetric compound of BiGa(SeO3)3 was achieved. BiGa(SeO3)3 displays a 3D gallium selenite framework with 1D bismuth oxide chains filling in the 12-member polyhedral ring tunnels. Frequency doubling measurements showed that BiGa(SeO3)3 presented an apparent SHG signal comparable to the commercial KDP and can realize phase matching. The lone pair anionic groups of SeO32– made the major contribution according to the SHG density analyses. BiGa(SeO3)3 exhibits a wide transparent range and large optical bandgap (3.90 eV). The laser-induced damage threshold of BiGa(SeO3)3 was estimated to be 98.68 MW/cm2, about 44 × AGS.

Phosphate crystals are valuable materials according to their diverse structures and physical and chemistry properties. A zinc orthophosphate, (NH 4 ) 3 (H 3 O)Zn 4 (PO 4 ) 4 , has been obtained via hydrothermal route. It was crystallized in hexagonal space group P 6 3 , featuring a three-dimensional (3D) [Zn(PO 4 )] – anion network built by corner-sharing connected ZnO 4 and PO 4 tetrahedra. The NH 4 + and H 3 O + units are located in the six-member cavities of the framework as the balanced cations. (NH 4 ) 3 (H 3 O)Zn 4 (PO 4 ) 4 exhibits a moderate and phase matchable second harmonic generation effect (SHG) about 1.4 times of KH 2 PO 4 (KDP), which is the strongest in zinc orthophosphates. Besides structural features, optical properties measurements and theoretical analyses of (NH 4 ) 3 (H 3 O)Zn 4 (PO 4 ) 4 were performed.

Single crystal Pr(BO 2 ) 3 with centimeter size was grown successfully by a flux method using 3Li 2 CO 3 -2H 3 BO 3 as a flux. The absorption spectrum , emission spectrum , and luminescence lifetime of the Pr(BO 2 ) 3 crystal were measured. The crystal has a relatively large absorption cross section and full widths at half maximum (FWHM), which is advantageous for energy absorption from a pumping source. The spectrum parameters were calculated based on Judd–Ofelt (J-O) theory, and the effective J-O parameters were determined to be: Ω 2 = 37.47 × 10 20 cm 2 , Ω 4 = 6.80 × 10 20 cm 2 , and Ω 6 = 1.05 × 10 20 cm 2 . Furthermore, the emission cross section for the 3 P 0 → 3 F 2 transition at 650 nm was calculated to be 13.6 × 10 −19 cm 2 . The fluorescence lifetime of the 3 P 0 level was obtained to be 4.5 ns. The Raman spectrum of the crystal was also analyzed in detail. Physical properties such as thermal and chemical stability, hardness, and cleavage properties were explored. The refractive index and electronic structure were calculated by the first-principles method.

Inorganic lead halide perovskite CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, or I) nanocrystals are promising candidate materials for light-emitting devices and optoelectronics. Mn-Doped CsPbX3 is of particular interest, as the Mn-doping introduces an additional emission band, making this material a promising white-light emitter. In this study, Mn-doped CsPb(Br/Cl)3 nanocrystals are prepared at room-temperature and ambient pressure. The chemical environment of Mn, and the luminescence of these nanocrystals are analyzed in detail using X-ray diffraction (XRD), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL). Although the introduction of Mn does not alter the long-range order of the CsPbX3 crystal, it leads to a local lattice contraction with the bond length of Mn–X much shorter than Pb–X. We also find excitation energy-dependence in both the intensity and wavelength of the perovskite excitonic emission band, while only in intensity of the Mn emission band. Detailed fitting of the XEOL reveals that the perovskite emission band is dual-channel, and it is the excitation energy-dependent intensity variation of these two channels that drives the observed red-shift of the combined emission band. Our findings also confirm that the Mn emission band is driven by exciton-Mn energy transfer and clarify the Mn chemical environment and the luminescence mechanism in Mn-doped CsPb(Br/Cl)3 nanocrystals.

In the following study, a series of new lupeol-3-carbamate derivatives were synthesized, and the structures of all the newly derived compounds were characterized. The new compounds were screened to determine their anti-proliferative activity against human lung cancer cell line A549, human liver cancer cell line HepG2, and human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Most of the compounds were found to show better anti-proliferative activity in vitro than lupeol. Among them, obvious anti-proliferation activity (IC50= 5.39~9.43 μM) was exhibited by compound3iagainst all three tumor cell lines. In addition, a salt reaction was performed on compound3k(IC50= 13.98 μM) and it was observed that the anti-proliferative activity and water solubility of compound3k·CH3I(IC50= 3.13 μM), were significantly enhanced subsequent to the salt formation process. The preliminary mechanistic studies demonstrated that apoptosis in HepG2 cells was induced by compound3k·CH3Ithrough the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. In conclusion, a series of new lupeol-3-carbamate derivatives were synthesized via the structural modification of the C-3 site of lupeol, thus laying a theoretical foundation for the design of this new anticancer drug.

Secretory glands, responsible for tears and saliva production, play essential roles in maintaining ocular and oral well-being. Disruptions in gland secretion can arise from various factors, including rhythm disturbances associated with sleep disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms governing these disruptions remain largely unexplored. We demonstrate that BMAL1, a core component of the circadian system, plays a critical role in regulating secretory gland secretion. Loss of BMAL1 induces vacuolation and atrophy phenotypes in acinar cells, subsequently leading to cell apoptosis and gland hypofunction, but does not cause Sjogren's syndrome, which is characterized by localized inflammatory cell infiltration. Mechanically, BMAL1 directly modulates the transcription of ITPR2 and ITPR3, thereby altering the secretion of Lactoferrin and Lysozyme. Restoration of ITPR2 and ITPR3 expression in Bmal1 -deficient rats effectively alleviated the symptoms of lacrimal and parotid glands secretory dysfunction and significantly reduced dry mouth and dry eye conditions in rhythm-disordered rats. These findings highlight the essential role of BMAL1 in regulating salivary and lacrimal gland secretion and suggest a novel therapeutic approach for treating dry mouth and dry eyes associated with rhythm disorders.

NASICON-type Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) is a widely used solid electrolyte in solid-state lithium batteries, owing to its excellent chemical stability against moisture and high total ionic conductivity. However, traditionally, densification of LATP has been achieved through a high-temperature sintering process (approximately 1000 °C) owing to its poor sinterability. Herein, we report a facile synthesis route to obtain highly sinterable LATP solid electrolyte using tetrabutyl titanate (C16H36O4Ti) as the titanium source and incorporating the traditional solid-state reaction method. The synthetic LATP powder mixed with a low ratio of LiTiPO5 exhibited a hybrid crystalline–amorphous phase structure, which facilitated grain fusion, promoted structural homogeneity, and facilitated structural densification under low-temperature sintering. The sintered LATP pellet, which exhibited an interconnected structure and indistinct grain boundaries, achieved a relative density of >90% and an ionic conductivity of 0.667 mS/cm at a sintering temperature of only 750 °C. Additionally, we systematically studied and demonstrated the synthesis reaction mechanism, sintering behavior, and ionic diffusion kinetics of LATP electrolytes. Our study paves the way for synthesizing highly sinterable LATP solid electrolytes using a simple, additive-free, and cost-effective method.

Carboxyl end-functionalized poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT-COOH) was grafted chemically with CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) by a phosphine-free method. The particle quality of P3HT-COOH/CdSe nanocomposites was better than that of P3HT/CdSe nanocomposites, which were synthesized using the same method. Nanocrystals with controllable particle size exhibited a wurtzite crystalline structure and showed excellent nanocrystal dispersion in the P3HT-COOH matrix. Photoluminescence (PL) characterization performed on nanocomposites suggested the efficient charge transfer at the P3HT-COOH/CdSe interface. This approach based on the phosphine-free method is not only environmentally friendly but also highly efficient.

Highway bridges are primarily reinforced concrete structures. They have multilayer steel mesh sheets, corrugated pipes, and steel strands inside. As a result, detecting defects in bridge concrete structures requires high technical expertise and can be challenging. This article presents a new device of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) designed specifically for highway bridge inspection. It employs antenna array technology, multichannel radar control technology, and real-time 3-D data acquisition and display technology to achieve reliable detection of various concrete structures commonly found in bridges. Using a 1.3 GHz central frequency antenna array and a multichannel control unit, the system enables simultaneous surveying along five lines, the detection depth can exceed 600 mm in concrete. This significantly enhances detection efficiency. By employing specialized software processing, the detection results are presented in a specific and visually comprehensive 3-D format. Moreover, the system provides 3-D slice images from any position and direction, facilitating the interpretation of detection results for various targets, including reinforcement layout, protective layer thickness, corrugated pipes, steel strands, and other quality defects. It provides advanced and reliable technical means for construction quality control and bridge health monitoring of highway bridges. The results indicate that the device performs well not only in controlled experimental environments, but also in real-world bridge structure environments.
