In this study, La 0.63 Sr 0.2 Nd 0.17 MnO 3 was synthesized by the sol-gel method, and its structural, morphological, magnetic, and magnetocaloric effects were investigated. The structural properties were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the morphology. An integrated magnetic measurement system was used to determine the magnetic properties. La 0.63 Sr 0.2 Nd 0.17 MnO 3 crystallized in a hexagonal crystal system with space group R -3 c . This was also confirmed by Rietveld refinement of the x-ray data from La 0.63 Sr 0.2 Nd 0.17 MnO 3 . With the doping of Nd 3+ , the cell volume decreases, which can be explained by the angles and bond lengths of the bonds between the Mn and O ions and the distortion of the lattice. Near the Curie temperature, La 0.63 Sr 0.2 Nd 0.17 MnO 3 exhibits significant magnetocaloric effects. The magnetic study of La 0.63 Sr 0.2 Nd 0.17 MnO 3 suggests that the transition from the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase can occur near the Curie temperature. The maximum magnetic entropy change and relative cooling power (RCP) of La 0.63 Sr 0.2 Nd 0.17 MnO 3 (298 K, 3 T) are 2.70 J/(kg K) and 135 (J/kg), respectively. The effect of f -orbitals on the magnetic properties of La 0.8 Sr 0.2 MnO 3 was investigated by first-principles calculations in density functional theory. Thus, it can be concluded that the magnetocaloric effects of the material after doping with f -orbital ions (Nd 3+ ) is enhanced compared to La 0.8 Sr 0.2 MnO 3 .

Aloin, a kind of active phenolic component, is sourced fromAloe vera. Recently, the determination of aloin has received enormous attention, owing to its positive performance (including anti-tumor, antibacterial, detoxification, liver protection, anti-stomach damage, and skin protection activities) and painful side effects (increased carcinogenicity caused by excessive use of aloin) impacting human health. This investigation was inspired by the good fluorescence properties of carbon dots (CDs); CD-based sensors have aroused a great deal of interest due to their excellent sensitivity and selectivity. Thus, it is of great significance to develop novel CD-based sensors for aloin determination. Herein, N,F-CDs were designed and synthesized through a convenient hydrothermal strategy; the synthesized N,F-CDs possessed good fluorescence performance and a small particle size (near 4.3 nm), which demonstrated the successful preparation of N,F-CDs. The resulting N,F-CDs possessed a large Stokes shift and could emit a highly stable green fluorescence. The fluorescence of the N,F-CDs could be effectively quenched by aloin through the inner filter effect. Furthermore, the synthesis procedure was easy to operate. Finally, the N,F-CD-coated test strips were fabricated and combined with a miniaturized fluorimeter for the fluorescence detection of aloin via the inner filter effect for the first time. The N,F-CD-coated test strips were fabricated and used for the fluorescence sensing of aloin, and the results were compared with a typical ultraviolet (UV) method. The N,F-CD-coated test strips exhibited high recovery (96.9~106.1%) and sensitivity (31.8 nM, n = 3), good selectivity, low sample consumption (1 μL), high speed (5 min), good stability, and anti-interference properties. The results indicate that N,F-CD-coated test strips are applicable for the quantitative determination of aloin in bovine serum, orange juice, and urine samples.

Fibrate pharmaceuticals (fibrates), as a widespread class of emerging contaminants, pose potential risks to both ecological systems and human health. The photocatalytic system based on nitrogen (N) and fluorine (F) co-doped TiO2nanotube arrays (NF-TNAs) provides a renewable solution for fibrate pharmaceutical removal from water, powered by inexhaustible sunlight. In this study, the degradation of two typical fibrates, i.e., bezafibrate (BZF) and ciprofibrate (CPF), under simulated sunlight irradiation through NF-TNAs were investigated. The photocatalytic degradation of BZF/CPF was achieved through combined radical and non-radical oxidation processes, while the generation and reaction mechanisms of associated reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined. Electron paramagnetic resonance detection and quenching tests confirmed the existence of h+, •OH, O2•−, and1O2, with O2•−playing the predominant role. The transformation products (TPs) of BZF/CPF were identified through high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis combined with quantum chemical calculations to elucidate the degradation pathways. The influence of co-existing ions and typical natural organic matters (NOM) on BZF/CPF degradation were also tested. Eventually, the ecological risk of BZF/CPF transformation products was assessed through quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) modeling, and the results showed that the proposed photocatalytic system can largely alleviate fibrate toxicity.

Tetramethyl bisphenol F (TMBPF), regarded as a promising alternative to bisphenol A (BPA) across multiple industries, is now incorporated into polymer coatings for metal cans used in food and beverage packaging. Recent research has highlighted possible health risks associated with TMBPF, yet its impact on ovarian function and the mechanisms involved remain inadequately understood. This study provides a thorough evaluation of TMBPF's effects on granulosa cells (GCs) and uncovers its transgenerational influence on female reproductive health. We exposed pregnant CD1 mice to TMBPF at doses of 50 μg/kg/day or 200 μg/kg/day from gestational day 7 (GD7) through postnatal day 21 (PND21). Our findings indicated that maternal exposure to TMBPF adversely affects the reproductive system of the F1 generation by elevating the levels of E2, FSH, and LH, reducing the ovarian index, and increasing the number of collagen fibers in the ovarian stroma. The human granulosa-like tumor cell line KGN was employed as an experimental model to assess the toxic effects of TMBPF on GCs. The findings revealed that sublethal concentrations of TMBPF induced mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and disrupted redox homeostasis in GCs in vitro. Our transcriptome sequencing analyses indicated that ESRRB upregulation might play a critical role in TMBPF-induced cellular senescence. Additionally, TMBPF exposure induced KGN cells senescence and senescent cell accumulation in F1 mouse ovaries by promoting ESRRB/p21 signalling. Collectively, our results indicate that TMBPF disrupts hormone levels in the ovaries, accelerates GCs senescence and promotes ovarian fibrosis, adversely affecting ovarian function in offspring. This study provides new insights into the potential effects of TMBPF exposure on the reproductive system and the related mechanisms.

Mn 2 O 3 is an exceptional earth-abundant mineral that has been extensively applied in catalytic oxidation because of the strong redox couples like Mn 3+ /Mn 2+ and Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ exposed on Mn 2 O 3 surface. Herein, the catalytic activity of Mn 2 O 3 in photothermal degradation of toluene was regulated by halogens including F - , Cl -, and Br - . As the electronegativity ordered in F (3.98) > O (3.44) > Cl (3.16) > Br (2.96), F - doped Mn 2 O 3 overperforms Cl - doped and Br - doped Mn 2 O 3 in decomposing toluene. DFT theoretical calculation illustrates that F - attracts the shared electrons from Mn to itself, the deviated charge center stretches the adjacent Mn-O bonds and boosts the generation of abundant oxygen vacancies, helping to strengthen the catalytic activity of Mn 2 O 3 . Conversely, Mn-O bonds are shortened by Cl - and Br - that have lower electronegativity than O. The multiple electrons circling Cl - and Br - push Mn towards O and squeeze Mn-O bonds, resulting in the formation of passivated Mn 2 O 3 . In conjunction with Mn redox couples and oxygen vacancies, 99% of 400 ppm toluene can be eliminated by F - doped Mn 2 O 3 , corresponding mineralization rate is high up to 95.8%.

Fluoride ion batteries (FIBs) have garnered significant attention due to their ultrahigh theoretical energy density, dendrite-free safety, and resource abundance. Although some anion acceptors have been proposed to address the insolubility of inorganic fluoride salts, the difficulty in dissociating fluoride ions from acceptors results in short lifespan and extremely low specific capacity of FIBs. Here, a fluoride ion battery is demonstrated with unprecedented long life and ultrahigh specific capacity through the design of an acceptor-multi-F state electrolyte. The high Lewis acidity of triphenylantimony chloride (TSbCl) as a novel anion acceptor in electrolyte facilitates the complete dissociation of CsF, and the resulting TSbCl-F complex can further interact with fluoride ions to form the acceptor-multi-F states. This strategy combines the high dissociation capability for fluoride salts with the minimal thermodynamic barriers for releasing fluoride ions at electrode-electrolyte interface. This electrolyte design endows FIBs with durable reversible fluorination/defluorination reaction (3700 cycles with high coulombic efficiency of 99.5% and small voltage polarization of 30 mV) and ultrahigh reversible capacity (580 mAh g −1 after 40 cycles at 100 mA g −1 ). The high-output voltage FIBs of CuF 2 //Li configuration (with discharge plateau of 2.9 V) and larger-sized pouch-type FIBs of CuF 2 //Sn+SnF 2 configuration (with reversible capacity of 530 mAh g −1 ) are demonstrated.

At present, superhydrophobic coatings have a wide range of applications in self-cleaning, drag reduction, and corrosion protection. However, their poor mechanical stability has a significant impact on the service life and effectiveness of the coatings. In addressing this challenge, this study introduced epoxy resin (EP) with high strength and strong adhesion as the resin matrix. The composite coating, synthesized through a straightforward spraying technique, incorporates modified carbon nanotubes (F-CNTs) and hydrophobic fumed nanosilica (SiO 2 ) as fillers. The robust EP/F-CNTs/SiO 2 superhydrophobic coating exhibited excellent anti-rubbing ability and superadhesion strength, which was attributed to the EP intermediate layer significantly enhancing the adhesion strength between the coating and the stainless steel substrate with a remarkable adhesion grade of one. Tafel and EIS test results revealed a corrosion inhibition efficiency of up to 99.75% for the coating. The exceptional corrosion resistance of the coating is attributed to the outstanding electron transfer capability of F-CNTs. In addition, the coating could resist corrosion from strong acids and bases. It is believed that the facile and low-cost method offers an effective strategy and promising industrial applications for fabricating robust and super anti-corrosion superhydrophobic surfaces on various metallic materials.

Microplastics (MPs) can adsorb and desorb organic pollutants, which may alter their biotoxicities. Although the toxicity of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and its alternative 6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B) to organisms has been reported, the comparative study of their combined toxic effects with MPs on aquatic organisms is limited. In this study, adult female zebrafish were exposed to 10 μg/L PFOS/F-53B and 50 μg/L MPs alone or in combination for 14 days to investigate their single and combined toxicities. The results showed that the presence of MPs reduced the concentration of freely dissolved PFOS and F-53B in the exposure solution but did not affect their bioaccumulation in the zebrafish liver and gut. The combined exposure to PFOS and MPs had the greatest impact on liver oxidative stress, immunoinflammatory, and energy metabolism disorders. 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis revealed that the combined exposure to F-53B and MPs had the greatest impact on gut microbiota. Functional enrichment analysis predicted that the alternations in the gut microbiome could interfere with signaling pathways related to immune and energy metabolic processes. Moreover, significant correlations were observed between changes in gut microbiota and immune and energy metabolism indicators, highlighting the role of gut microbiota in host health. Together, our findings demonstrate that combined exposure to PFOS/F-53B and MPs exacerbates liver immunotoxicity and disturbances in energy metabolism in adult zebrafish compared to single exposure, potentially through dysregulation of gut microbiota.

MO-ZrO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 (M = Zn, Co) ceramics were prepared by solid-phase reaction method. Thermo-gravimetric-differential thermal behavior, crystal structure, and microwave dielectric properties of ZnO-ZrO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 and CoO-ZrO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 ceramics were compared in this paper. Both of them exhibited monoclinic wolframite structure. Densest microstructures with uniform grains were obtained at 1400°C and 1425°C in the cases of M = Zn and Co, respectively. ZnO-ZrO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 and CoO-ZrO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 exhibited comparable ε r ~ 20.26 and 24.30, while the former had Q × f ~ 60, 983 GHz and the latter had Q × f ~ 95,300 GHz. The grain growth exponent and activation energy obtained from the phenomenological kinetic equation indicated the growth process of ceramics. The grain growth of Zn-based ceramic was dominated by interfacial reactions and lattice diffusion. For the other one, the grain growth mechanisms were grain boundary diffusion and lattice diffusion at high temperatures. The grain growth progress of them both affected by lattice diffusion. The growth process of ZnO-ZrO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 ceramics was faster than that of CoO-ZrO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 ceramic. However, the grains were overgrown and grew slowly at 1425°C and 1450°C, which was caused by the excessive high temperature.

The widespread application of bisphenols (BPs) in the industry has made them ubiquitous in the environment, causing potential environmental risks. Its unknown impacts on human being have received more and more attention. In this study, we have assessed the metabolic effects of perinatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and its substitutes (bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol AF (BPAF)) in female mice adolescent offspring and female mice adulthood offspring. 1 H NMR-based serum metabolomics showed that metabolic profiles were disturbed with BPA and its three substitutes exposure in female mice adolescent offspring and female mice adulthood offspring. In addition, age-related metabolic effects were found based on changes in serum endogenous metabolites and metabolic pathways. Specifically, metabolic pathway analysis showed that major disturbed metabolic pathways in female mice adulthood offspring compare with female mice adolescent offspring also changed significantly. With the increase of age of the female mice offspring, changes in the metabolic pathways became more obvious in the BPA treatment group. Conversely, partially disturbed metabolic pathways were restored in the BPS, BPF, and BPAF treatment groups. In conclusion, perinatal exposure to BPA and its three substitutes significantly interferes with metabolic profiles and metabolic pathways, and this metabolic effects were age-related. These results offer more detailed information about the age-related metabolic effects of perinatal exposure to BPA, BPS, BPF, and BPAF in female mice offspring and provide data for systematic evaluation of the health risk assessment of BPA and its substitutes.

This research aimed to analyze the biocompatibility and growth behavior of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated colorectal cancer (CRC) cells on a polylactic acid/polyglycolic acid (PLA-PCL) composite nanofiber scaffold (CNS) using proteomic analysis. The PLA-PCL CNS was prepared
using a gel extraction phase separation (GEPS) method in a dioxane/ethanol solvent system, and the effects of gel temperature, PLA-PCL mass ratio (MR), solvent-to-polymer MR on the structure and properties of the PLA-PCL CNS were analyzed. Subsequently, Lappaol F (LAF) was incorporated into
the PLA-PCL CNS using electrospinning (ES) technology, and tissue specimens were obtained from HIV-associated CRC patients to investigate the impacts of LAF-PLA-PCL CNS on the growth behavior of HIV-associated CRC cells through mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis. Field emission
scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) revealed that the CNS could be obtained at gel temperatures between −20 °C and −10 °C, PLA-to-PCL MRs of 1:1, 3:2, 7:3, and ethanol content of 5%–15%. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed
that the PLA-to-PCL MR of 70:30 exhibited compatibility and crystallinity of the PLA-PCL CNS, while the porosity increased with an increase in PCL content. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated a good biological activity of the PLA-PCL CNS. The relative cell proliferation
(RCP) and cytotoxicity grades exhibited no marked differences (P >0.05) between the cancer cells cultured with DMEM and those with PLA-PCL scaffold extract over time. Proteomic analysis identified 127 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in HIV-associated CRC cells co-cultured
with LAF-PLA-PCL CNS, and Gene Ontology (GO) protein and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis (KEGG analysis) revealed that the LAF-PLA-PCL NCS could affect the cell cycle (CC) of HIV-associated CRC cells. In conclusion, the PLA-PCL NCS exhibited good compatibility, crystallinity, and biological
activity, while the LAF-PLA-PCL NCS showed the potential to inhibit cell proliferation by affecting the CC.

Sea cucumber peptides have been shown to possess a number of functions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-fatigue effects, as well as immune regulation and promotion of collagen synthesis. Among these, high F-value oligopeptides are a promising natural active ingredient demonstrating excellent anti-fatigue effects. This study utilized fresh sea cucumbers as the primary raw material, employing membrane separation technology to investigate the simultaneous separation of sea cucumber polysaccharides and peptides. The process for removing aromatic amino acids during the preparation of high F-value oligopeptides from sea cucumbers was optimized, and the mechanism underlying their anti-fatigue effects was explored. A two-step enzymatic hydrolysis method using neutral protease and composite flavor protease was employed, followed by membrane separation using a 10,000 Da molecular weight ultrafiltration membrane, yielding a sea cucumber peptide yield of 45.00 ± 0.12% and a sea cucumber polysaccharide yield of 51.28 ± 0.63%. Following the removal of aromatic amino acids by means of activated carbon adsorption, the F-value of the high-F-value oligopeptides attained 23.82, with a yield of 24.56%. The experimental findings demonstrated that high-F-value oligopeptides exhibited a substantial increase in the swimming duration of mice and a notable enhancement in their grip strength. These observations signified their substantial anti-fatigue potential. Furthermore, studies have indicated that sea cucumber high-F-value oligopeptides reduce metabolites produced by exercise, enhance muscle protection, increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the body, and alleviate fatigue, thereby achieving an anti-fatigue effect.
