Mechanochemical-assisted extraction (MCAE) and mechanochemical-assisted enzyme catalysis (MCAEC) methods were developed for extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis of calcium phytate from defatted rice bran, respectively.The MCAE conditions were optimized by response surface methodology: 10% sodium carbonate as the solid reagent, 33 min grinding time, 18:1 ball–material ratio, 330 rpm ball milling speed, and pH 5.5 extraction. Under these conditions, the yield of calcium phytate was 97.0 mg/g. The MCAEC conditions were optimized as follows: 2% enzyme addition, MM400 milling time 36 min, PM400 milling speed 262 rpm, MM400 milling frequency 27 Hz, and the addition of pH 5.5 sodium acetate buffer 3 mL. Under these conditions, the hydrolysis rate of calcium phytate was 39.7%.Compared with traditional extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis methods, MCAE and MCAEC could obtain higher yields and hydrolysis rates, respectively.

This work focused on the development of an inexpensive carbon source and the improvement of the fermentation-foam fractionation coupling system. The rhamnolipids production capacity of waste frying oil (WFO) was evaluated. The suitable bacterial cultivation of seed liquid and the addition amount of WFO was 16 h and 2% (v/v), respectively. A combined strategy of cell immobilization and oil emulsion avoid cell entrainment inside foam and improves the oil mass transfer rate. The immobilization conditions of bacterial cells into alginate-chitosan-alginate (ACA) microcapsules were optimized using the response surface method (RSM). Under the optimal conditions, rhamnolipids production using batch fermentation with immobilized strain reached 7.18 ± 0.23% g/L. WFO was emulsified into a fermentation medium using rhamnolipids as emulsifier (0.5 g/L). By monitoring dissolved oxygen, 30 mL/min was selected as a suitable air volumetric flow rate for fermentation-foam fractionation coupling operation. The total production and recovery percentage of rhamnolipids were 11.29 ± 0.36 g/L and 95.62 ± 0.38%, respectively. Graphical abstract

This study proposes a nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon dot (N/S-CD)-based FRET ratiometric fluorescence aptasensing strategy modulated with entropy-driven DNA amplifier for sensitive and accurate detection of ochratoxin A (OTA). In the strategy, a duplex DNA probe containing OTA aptamer and complementary DNA (cDNA) is designed as a recognition and transformation element. Upon sensing of target OTA, the cDNA was liberated, and triggered a three-chain DNA composite-based entropy-driven DNA circuit amplification, making CuO probes anchor on a magnetic bead (MB). The CuO-encoded MB complex probe is finally turned into abundant Cu 2+ , which oxidizes o-phenylenediamine (oPD) to generate 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) with yellow fluorescence and further triggers FRET between the blue fluorescent N/S-CDs and DAP. The changes in ratiometric fluorescence are related to the OTA concentration. Originating from the synergistic amplifications from the entropy-driven DNA circuits and Cu 2+ amplification, the strategy dramatically enhanced detection performance. A limit of detection as low as 0.006 pg/mL of OTA was achieved. Significantly, the aptasensor can visually evaluate the OTA via on-site visual screening. Moreover, the high-confidence quantification of the OTA in real samples with results consistent with that of the LC-MS method indicated that the proposed strategy has practical application prospects for sensitive and accurate quantification in food safety.

Direct seawater electrolysis is promising for sustainable hydrogen gas (H 2 ) production. However, the chloride ions in seawater lead to side reactions and corrosion, which result in a low efficiency and poor stability of the electrocatalyst and hinder the use of seawater electrolysis technology. Here we report a corrosion-resistant RuMoNi electrocatalyst, in which the in situ-formed molybdate ions on its surface repel chloride ions. The electrocatalyst works stably for over 3000 h at a high current density of 500 mA cm −2 in alkaline seawater electrolytes. Using the RuMoNi catalyst in an anion exchange membrane electrolyzer, we report an energy conversion efficiency of 77.9% and a current density of 1000 mA cm −2 at 1.72 V. The calculated price per gallon of gasoline equivalent (GGE) of the H 2 produced is $ 0.85, which is lower than the 2026 technical target of $ 2.0/GGE set by the United Stated Department of Energy, thus, suggesting practicability of the technology.

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for 2-methylpyridine + 2-vinylpyridine binary systems have been measured using a dynamic circulation device with the pressure points 1.9 kPa, 4.0 kPa, and 5.3 kPa at temperature in the range from 302.8 to 348.5 K. The VLE data passed the thermodynamic consistency test by using L–W method, R–K method and Fredenslund method. The NRTL, Wilson and UNIQUAC models were used to fit the data and binary interaction parameters were obtained for the three models. For these models, the results showed that the calculated values of the model were in good agreement with the experimental values and could, thereby, be used for the design and optimization of distillation.

Food safety is a major public health concern all over the world. Therefore, the prevention of food contamination is becoming extremely crucial. In this study, an antimicrobial nanoemulsion composed of water-soluble nisin and fat-soluble octanoic acid was successfully prepared. The results showed that the average particle size and the polymer dispersity index of the nisin−octanoic acid (NOA) nanoemulsion were around 52.21 nm and 0.253, respectively. The NOA nanoemulsion required less amounts of nisin and octanoic acid to achieve the effective antimicrobial effect against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus . In addition, the growth curves of E. coli and S. aureus were determined. The OD 600 of NOA nanoemulsion was significantly lower than free nisin after being incubated for 24 h ( p < 0.001), indicating that the antimicrobial effect of NOA nanoemulsion was outstanding. Meanwhile, the synergistic antimicrobial property of NOA nanoemulsion against E. coli and S. aureus was significantly better than free nisin under nonacid conditions ( p < 0.05). Overall, the results of this study may provide guidance for the further application of nisin in more forms.

Efficient capture of uranium(VI) (U(VI)) from seawater is of great significance to the sustainable development of nuclear energy and environmental protection, which is also a serious challenge at present. In this study, hollow Zn/Co zeolitic imidazolate framework (H-ZIF) was decorated on polyacrylamide/sodium alginate (PAM/SA) hydrogel by chelating and covalently crosslinking, and a new type of PAM/SA/H-ZIF hydrogel was synthesized. The combination of PAM/SA and H-ZIF gives PAM/SA/H-ZIF hydrogel excellent mechanical properties, good stability, and abundant surface functional groups, which is beneficial to improving the adsorption properties. The extraction amount of U(VI) by PAM/SA/H-ZIF is 171.14 mg·g −1 at C 0 = 99.52 mg·L −1 and pH = 5.0. The adsorption equilibrium is reached in 120 min and the adsorption process fits well with Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order rate equation. The PAM/SA/H-ZIF also showed good recyclability and stability after 10 cycles of adsorption—desorption. More importantly, the rate of uranium adsorption is 0.196 mg·g −1 ·day −1 after 30 days, which implies that the PAM/SA/H-ZIF could serve as a potential adsorbent for the development of uranium capture from seawater.

Background Temozolomide (TMZ) is the preferred chemotherapy strategy for glioma therapy. As a second-generation alkylating agent, TMZ provides superior oral bio-availability. However, limited response rate (less than 50%) and high incidence of drug resistance seriously restricts TMZ’s application, there still lack of strategies to increase the chemotherapy sensitivity. Methods Luci-GL261 glioma orthotopic xenograft model combined bioluminescence imaging was utilized to evaluate the anti-tumor effect of TMZ and differentiate TMZ sensitive (S)/non-sensitive (NS) individuals. Integrated microbiomics and metabolomics analysis was applied to disentangle the involvement of gut bacteria in TMZ sensitivity. Spearman’s correlation analysis was applied to test the association between fecal bacteria levels and pharmacodynamics indices. Antibiotics treatment combined TMZ treatment was used to confirm the involvement of gut microbiota in TMZ response. Flow cytometry analysis, ELISA and histopathology were used to explore the potential role of immunoregulation in gut microbiota mediated TMZ response. Results Firstly, gut bacteria composition was significantly altered during glioma development and TMZ treatment. Meanwhile, in vivo anti-cancer evaluation suggested a remarkable difference in chemotherapy efficacy after TMZ administration. Moreover, 16s rRNA gene sequencing and non-targeted metabolomics analysis revealed distinct different gut microbiota and immune infiltrating state between TMZ sensitive and non-sensitive mice, while abundance of differential gut bacteria and related metabolites was significantly correlated with TMZ pharmacodynamics indices. Further verification suggested that gut microbiota deletion by antibiotics treatment could accelerate glioma development, attenuate TMZ efficacy and inhibit immune cells (macrophage and CD8α + T cell) recruitment. Conclusions The current study confirmed the involvement of gut microbiota in glioma development and individualized TMZ efficacy via immunomodulation, hence gut bacteria may serve as a predictive biomarker as well as a therapeutic target for clinical TMZ application.

Sustainable and low-cost old corrugated container (OCC) paper has been extensively employed in packaging materials for shipping and handling different products to substitute petroleum-based plastics. However, the poor mechanical strength and wet stability of OCC papers impede their general use. To solve these problems, we proposed constructing a dense carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-M n+ (M n+ : Ca 2+ , Al 3+ ) crosslinked network in the OCC papers’ interior, allowing outstanding mechanical performance and waterproof. The resulting OCC-CMC-Al 3+ paper demonstrated a superior tensile strength of 49.6 MPa and Young’s modulus of 1.9 GPa, substantially higher than that of original OCC paper (tensile strength of 15 MPa, Young’s modulus of 0.7 GPa) and comparable to commercial plastics. More significantly, the OCC-CMC-Al 3+ paper demonstrated a superior wet strength of 13.0 MPa to the original OCC paper of 0.6 MPa. Additionally, the OCC-CMC-Al 3+ paper exhibited excellent thermal stability, durability, and biodegradability. Generally, the biodegradable, strong, and water-resistant OCC-CMC-Al 3+ paper is a potential and ecofriendly material for substituting nonbiodegradable plastics.

In this work, we design and synthesize 2,2′-(7,9-dimethyl-2,4,6,8-tetraoxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[5,4-g]pteridine-1,3(2H,4H)-diyl)bis( N,N -bis(2-chloroethyl)acetamide) (PT-MCA) as a novel DNA intercalator and potential antitumor agent. Electrochemical analysis reveals the redox process of PT-MCA on the electrode surface. The bioelectrochemical sensors are obtained by modifying the surface of GCE with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA), poly (dG), poly (dA), and G-quadruplex, respectively. The DNA oxidative damage induced by PT-MCA is investigated by comparing the peak intensity change of dGuo and dAdo and monitoring the peaks of the oxidation products of guanine and/or adenine (8-oxoGua and/or 2,8-oxoAde). UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectra and gel electrophoresis are further employed to understand the intercalation of PT-MCA into DNA base pairs. Moreover, PT-MCA is proved to exhibit stronger anti-proliferation activity than mitoxantrone against both 4T1 and B16-F10 cancer cells. At last, the oxidative damage of PT-MCA toward ctDNA is not interfered by the coexistence of ions and also can be detected in real serums. Graphical abstract

Traditional single-function composite materials cannot meet the developing requirements in modern electronics. To build a three-dimensional (3D) skeleton is an efficient solution for multifunctional composites. However, it is a challenge for polymeric composites to provide thermal conductivity and electromagnetic shielding while maintaining good mechanical properties. Herein, we propose an oriented 3D hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) skeleton structure with thermal conduction and electromagnetic shielding pathways by using ice template and carbonization method, in which the h-BN was connected with MWCNT and cellulose nanofiber (CNF), and the hydrolyzedmethyltrimethoxy silane (MTMS) was added to reinforce the structure. When MWCNT is 1.5 wt% and h-BN is 5.7 wt%, the electromagnetic shielding efficiency (EMI SE) reaches 48 dB, the absorption parameter (A) is more than 50%, and the out-of-plane thermal conductivity (TC) is 1.17 W/m·K. Compared with the randomly distributed BN/MWCNT composite at same filling rate, the electromagnetic shielding of 3D BN/MWCNT skeleton structure is 639.6% high than that of randomly distributed BN/MWCNT composite, and the thermal conductivity increased by 290%. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) results indicated that the storage modulus increased by 48%, and Tg shifted 10 ℃ higher than pure epoxy, which enhances the mechanical properties of the composites. This study provides a valuable guidance for preparing composite with high thermal conductivities, high mechanical properties and satisfactory EMI SE, which showed great potential as the next-generation high-performance EMI shielding materials.

Oily sewage discharged from ships has brought many harms to the marine environment, even endangered marine life and human life. As a new type of water treatment technology, microbial fuel cell (MFC) can efficiently treat pollutants and recover energy, which can be converted into electric energy. However, its large internal resistance restricts its development. In order to solve the problems of low power generation performance and poor biocompatibility of microbial fuel cell, a gold nanoparticle-carbon quantum dot/polydopamine/graphene oxide/bacterial cellulose (AuNP-CQD/PDA/GO/BC) electrode was prepared, and it was applied to the treatment of oily sewage from ships. Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and contact angle measuring instrument were used to characterize the electrode. The results show that PDA bridges GO and AuNP-CQD particles through the electrostatic interaction/π-π bond/hydrogen bonding, respectively. This attracts a large number of microorganisms to attach to the surface of the porous anode material, which greatly improves the activity and quantity of microorganisms. Moreover, the maximum power density of AuNP-CQD/PDA/GO/BC electrode is 2624.91 mW/m 2 , which obviously improves the electrochemical performance of MFC. The oil content of the treated water is ≤ 15 mg/L, reaching the discharge of MARPOL 73/78 convention. Therefore, the proposed approach has paved new dimensions in not only the preparation of a new composite electrode materials but also its applications as effective degradation of ship oily sewage in MFC.
