A dual-mode fluorescence/visual aptasensor was developed for straightforward and accurate determination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) based on an Au/metal–organic framework (Au/MOF) composite. Aptamer-modified Au/Fe 3 O 4 (Apt/Au/Fe 3 O 4 ) served as the recognition element, and Au/MOF modified with complementary chains and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (cDNA/TMB/Au/MOF) acted as the fluorescence and visual probes. These components are integrated to form conjugates (Apt/Au/Fe 3 O 4 -cDNA/TMB/Au/MOF). Upon the introduction of AFB1, some cDNA/TMB/Au/MOF dissociated from Apt/Au/Fe 3 O 4 , enabling the use of detached probes for visual detection. The undecomposed conjugates were isolated magnetically for use in fluorescence detection. As the AFB1 concentration increases, the visual signal intensifies and fluorescence intensity diminishes. Thus, the proposed aptasensor achieves the simultaneous fluorescence and visual determination of AFB1, obviating the need for material and reagent substitutions. The detection limits were established at 0.07 ng mL −1 for the fluorescence mode and 0.08 ng mL −1 for the visual mode. The effectiveness of the aptasensor was further validated by quantifying AFB1 in real samples. Graphical Abstract

We developed a fluorescent double network hydrogel with ionic responsiveness and high mechanical properties for visual detection. The nanocomposite hydrogel of laponite and polyacrylamide serves as the first network, while the ionic cross-linked hydrogel of terbium ions and sodium alginate serves as the second network. The double-network structure, the introduction of nanoparticles and the reversible ionic cross-linked interactions confer high mechanical properties to the hydrogel. Terbium ions are not only used as the ionic cross-linked points, but also used as green emitters to endow hydrogels with fluorescent properties. On the basis of the “antenna effect” of terbium ions and the ion exchange interaction, the fluorescence of the hydrogels can make selective responses to various ions (such as organic acid radical ions, transition metal ions) in aqueous solutions, which enables a convenient strategy for visual detection toward ions. Consequently, the fluorescent double network hydrogel fabricated in this study is promising for use in the field of visual sensor detection.

Electrocatalytic semihydrogenation of acetylene (C 2 H 2 ) provides a facile and petroleum-independent strategy for ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) production. However, the reliance on the preseparation and concentration of raw coal-derived C 2 H 2 hinders its economic potential. Here, a concave surface is predicted to be beneficial for enriching C 2 H 2 and optimizing its mass transfer kinetics, thus leading to a high partial pressure of C 2 H 2 around active sites for the direct conversion of raw coal-derived C 2 H 2 . Then, a porous concave carbon-supported Cu nanoparticle (Cu-PCC) electrode is designed to enrich the C 2 H 2 gas around the Cu sites. As a result, the as-prepared electrode enables a 91.7% C 2 H 4 Faradaic efficiency and a 56.31% C 2 H 2 single-pass conversion under a simulated raw coal-derived C 2 H 2 atmosphere (~15%) at a partial current density of 0.42 A cm −2 , greatly outperforming its counterpart without concave surface supports. The strengthened intermolecular π conjugation caused by the increased C 2 H 2 coverage is revealed to result in the delocalization of π electrons in C 2 H 2 , consequently promoting C 2 H 2 activation, suppressing hydrogen evolution competition and enhancing C 2 H 4 selectivity.

Physalis alkekengi L. is one of the most popular berries in the world, and its calyx is rich in nutrients. Still, the study of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) from Physalis alkekengi L. calyx (PC) has not been reported. This study aimed to extract Physalis alkekengi L. calyx soluble dietary fiber (PCSDF), and the optimal extraction process was investigated using response surface methodology. After ultrasonic pretreatment, the yield of PCSDF reached 8.74 ± 0.17% under the conditions of liquid-solid ratio of 30 mL/g, thermostable α-amylase concentration of 2000 U/mL, dispase concentration of 20,000 U/mL, amyloglucosidase concentration of 40,000 U/mL. For the first time, PCSDF was characterized by UV spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, and the composition of the monosaccharides, namely mannose, glucuronic acid, rhamnose, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose, xylose, arabinose and fucose, was identified by HPLC. For antioxidant activity, the half inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) against DPPH, ABTS + , ·OH, and ·O 2 − radicals were 3.67, 2.96, 5.45, and 2.90 mg/mL, respectively, and there was a specific Fe 3+ reducing capacity. In terms of hypoglycemic feature, the IC 50 values for the inhibitory ability of α-glucosidase and α-amylase were 1.20 and 9.21 mg/mL, respectively. For lipid-lowering potential, the IC 50 value for pancreatic lipase inhibitory ability for lipid-lowering was 16.95 mg/mL. This paper fills the research gap of PCSDF and provides a basis for further evaluation of PCSDF using in vivo studies. Graphical Abstract

Organic dyes pollution has caused significant threat to flora, fauna and humans because the toxic of dyes. In this work, with the help of acetic acid as a defect initiator, the hierarchical porous MIL-101(HP-MIL-101) has been synthesized and used for removing anionic dyes Eosin y (EY), Methyl orange (MO), Congo red (CR) and Acid fuchsin (AF) from water. Due to its positive surface charge, larger specific surface area, well-matched pore structure, and the charge, size, and diameter of dyes, HP-MIL-101 showed rapid adsorption and an excellent maximum adsorption capacity of 425 and 336 mg⋅g − 1 for CR and AF, respectively. A series of batch experiments were carried out to investigate the impact of various key factors, including adsorption duration, initial dye concentration, and temperature. In addition, the kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics about the adsorption properties were also discussed. In addition, HP-MIL-101 showed stable and high reusability for at least three cycles, with an efficiency of over 95% without significant structural changes. This study highlights the potential of hierarchical porous MOF for mitigating dye pollution and advancing sustainable water treatment methodologies.

Hypersonic vehicles and aircraft engine blades face complex and harsh environments such as high heat flow density and high temperature, and they are generally narrow curved spaces, making it impossible to actually install them for testing. Thin-film heat flux sensors (HFSs) have the advantages of small size, fast response, and in-situ fabrication, but they are prone to reach thermal equilibrium and thus fail during testing. In our manuscript, an ITO–In 2 O 3 thick film heat flux sensor (HFS) is designed, and a high-temperature heat flux test system is built to simulate the working condition of a blade subjected to heat flow impact. The simulation and test results show that the test performance of the thick-film HFS is improved by optimizing the structure and parameters. Under the condition of no water cooling, the designed HFS can realize short-time heat flux monitoring at 1450 °C and long-term stable monitoring at 1300 °C and below. With a maximum output thermopotential of 17.8 mV and an average test sensitivity of 0.035 mV/(kW/m 2 ), the designed HFS has superior high-temperature resistance that cannot be achieved by other existing thin (thick) film HFSs. Therefore, the designed HFS has great potential for application in harsh environments such as aerospace, weaponry, and industrial metallurgy.

While accurate mapping of strain distribution is crucial for assessing stress concentration and estimating fatigue life in engineering applications, conventional strain sensor arrays face a great challenge in balancing sensitivity and sensing density for effective strain mapping. In this study, we present a Fowler-Nordheim tunneling effect of monodispersed spiky carbon nanosphere array on polydimethylsiloxane as strain sensor arrays to achieve a sensitivity up to 70,000, a sensing density of 100 pixel cm −2 , and logarithmic linearity over 99% within a wide strain range of 0% to 60%. The highly ordered assembly of spiky carbon nanospheres in each unit also ensures high inter-unit consistency (standard deviation ≤3.82%). Furthermore, this sensor array can conformally cover diverse surfaces, enabling accurate acquisition of strain distributions. The sensing array offers a convenient approach for mapping strain fields in various applications such as flexible electronics, soft robotics, biomechanics, and structure health monitoring.

The uneven distribution of hotspots and the challenges associated with precise analyte localization within these hotspots present significant hurdles in the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Here, at the water–oil interface, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) interconnected by cucurbiturils[8] (CB[8]) with sub-nanometer gaps (AuNPs:CB[8]) were organized into plasmonic arrays. This arrangement was engineered to generate highly efficient hotspots. The CB[8] molecules, serving a dual role, not only facilitated the assembly of AuNPs with sub-nanometer (~ 1 nm) gaps to create intense plasmonic hotspots but also acted as molecular traps, enabling the precise localization of molecules within these hotspots. By comparing the enhancement effect of probe molecule on Au nanofilm, AuNPs:CB[8] colloids, and AuNPs:CB[8] nanofilm, it was found that the SERS intensity of the E1 characteristic peak in AuNPs:CB[8] nanofilm is five times higher than that on Au nanofilm, and more than 10 4 times higher than that of AuNPs:CB[8] colloids. The gaps are also accessible to different electronegativite molecules, such as estrone, p -aminoazobenzene, or methylene blue, which are captured at the plasmonic hotspots by the interaction of CB[8]. The method was employed for the practical detection of artificial antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), which has a weak Raman scattering cross-section, by coupling it with a reaction to enhance its SERS effect. The detection limit of BHA in soybean oil sample is 5.89 × 10 −8 mol/L, with the recovery range 85.1–115%. In conclusion, this hot-spot design and molecular capture approach will offer a highly effective method for detecting weak Raman scattering cross-section molecules and holds great promise for practical applications in the future.

Objectives To explore the expression of periostin in the epithelium of cholesteatoma with different destruction degrees of the ossicular chain and its clinical value in predicting postoperative hearing recovery. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 100 patients with middle ear cholesteatoma (the cholesteatoma group) admitted to our hospital. Another 100 patients without middle ear cholesteatoma treated in our hospital during the same period were included in the non-cholesteatoma group. Middle ear cholesteatoma patients were further divided into a normal group, a partial destruction group, and a complete destruction group based on the destruction degree of the ossicular chain (Maresh grading). After the treatment, 75 cases were considered as the effective group and 25 cases as the ineffective group. The expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Interleukin 6, and periostin in the epithelium of middle ear cholesteatoma patients with different destruction degrees of the ossicular chain and different therapeutic effects were compared. The correlation between periostin and inflammatory factors was analyzed using Pearson analysis. The predictive value of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Interleukin 6, and periostin on treatment effect was valued using the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results Patients in the cholesteatoma group had a much higher content of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Interleukin 6, and periostin than those in the non-cholesteatoma group ( P < 0.001). The expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Interleukin 6, and periostin was also largely increased with the destruction group of the ossicular chain. Patients in the ineffective group had much higher expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Interleukin 6, and periostin than those in the effective group ( P < 0.001). The Pearson correlation analysis results showed that periostin was positively correlated with the content of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin 6 ( P = 0.868, 0.880, P < 0.001). The areas under the curve of individual or joint tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Interleukin 6, and periostin were 0.627, 0.793, 0.822, and 0.892, respectively. Conclusions The expressions of periostin, Interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were markedly increased in the epithelium of middle ear cholesteatoma patients, which were gradually increased with the aggravation of the ossicular chain destruction. Periostin, Interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha could be used as important indicators to predict postoperative hearing recovery.

The development of a catalyst with high catalytic activity and selectivity remains a crucial challenge in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. In this work, we demonstrated a versatile procedure for the immobilization of ultrafine and monodispersed metal nanoparticles onto glutaraldehyde-crosslinked polyethyleneimine-modified calcium alginate (GLA-PEI/Ca-SA) beads. The resulting hydrogel beads underwent comprehensive characterization through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results revealed that well-dispersed Ag, Cu, and Ni nanoparticles, with a mean size of 3.5, 2.6, and 4.1 nm, respectively, were successfully loaded onto the surface of GLA-PEI/Ca-SA beads with porous fiber network structure. Notably, the Ag/GLA-PEI/Ca-SA exhibited outstanding catalytic activity and stability, achieving over 95% conversion within 7 successive cycles towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) by NaBH 4 in aqueous solution. Particularly, the Cu/GLA-PEI/Ca-SA beads displayed the highest catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-NP with a kinetic reaction rate constant of 1.56 × 10 −2 s −1 . We expect that this work will provide a novel and effective strategy to design highly efficient catalysts across various catalytic reactions. Graphical Ultrafine and monodispersed Ag nanoparticles within 5 nm on GLA-PEI/Ca-SA beads with high catalytic activity for rapid 4-NP reduction.

The problems of heavy metal and dye contamination in wastewater urgently requires green, efficient, and convenient removal strategy. In this paper, a new type of γ-Fe 2 O 3 /CeO 2 /cellulose nanofibril (CNF) composite film (CNFMONP film) adsorbent based on nanocellulose was facilely prepared which is green, easy to be recycled, and has high-efficiency adsorption performance. The proposed CNFMONP films exhibited rough surface, excellent mechanical properties, and stability performance, as well as satisfying adsorption removal performance for Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ , with removal rates of 77.9% and 69.6%, respectively. In addition, a removal rate of up to 95.4% for the dye methylene blue (MB) was also achieved under UV illumination. The adsorption kinetics showed that the CNFMONP films were mainly chemisorbed for heavy metals. Besides, isotherm analysis indicated that monolayer adsorption is the adsorption behavior of the proposed film types adsorbent for heavy metals and dyes. Furthermore, the CNFMONP films still have excellent adsorption affinity after five rounds of cycles, with high adsorption efficiency of 75.0% for Pb 2+ in complex environment. Therefore, environmentally friendly CNFMONP films with excellent stabilization and adsorption properties were simply prepared, which may provide a highly efficient way for recyclable and multi adsorption of heavy metals and dyes.

The utilization of low-energy photons in light-driven reactions is an effective strategy for improving the efficiency of solar energy conversion. In nature, photosynthetic organisms use chlorophylls to harvest the red portion of sunlight, which ultimately drives the reduction of CO 2 . However, a molecular system that mimics such function is extremely rare in non-noble-metal catalysis. Here we report a series of synthetic fluorinated chlorins as biomimetic chromophores for CO 2 reduction, which catalytically produces CO under both 630 nm and 730 nm light irradiation, with turnover numbers of 1790 and 510, respectively. Under appropriate conditions, the system lasts over 240 h and stays active under 1% concentration of CO 2 . Mechanistic studies reveal that chlorin and chlorinphlorin are two key intermediates in red-light-driven CO 2 reduction, while corresponding porphyrin and bacteriochlorin are much less active forms of chromophores.
