Catalytic transformation of carbohydrates to bio-chemicals such as 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has become a hot research topic, but development of cost-effective/efficient catalysts and processes remains a challenge for industrial application. In this study, efficient bifunctional Sn/KIT-1/C catalysts with controllable acid sites were synthesized and applied for glucose-to-HMF conversion. Strong Lewis acid sites were introduced into the framework of disordered mesoporous silica by liquid-phase grafting of tin chloride, and Bronsted acid sites were generated by inserting carbon into the mesopores, followed by controlled oxidation of the carbon. Characterizations revealed that optimizing the amount of carbon source, and carbonization and oxidation temperature provided a proper amount and strength of acidity that could significantly catalyze glucose dehydration reaction to HMF with suppressed byproducts formation. The best catalyst Sn/KIT-1/C(75–400-300) demonstrated superior catalytic performance at 175 °C for 2 h under THF/H 2 O biphasic system, obtaining 78.4 ± 2.1% and 82.9 ± 2.4% HMF yield and selectivity, respectively. The high activity may be attributed to catalyst high surface area/porosity, and the presence of well-balanced amounts and strength of Lewis/Bronsted acid sites. The catalyst could maintain its excellent catalytic activity for five consecutive runs, suggesting the high physical–chemical stability of the catalyst. The results obtained in this work demonstrated that bifunctional metal-supported silica–carbon composites can be a promising catalyst for simple/complex carbohydrates conversion to HMF/bio-based chemicals.

Legumains belonging to C_13 peptidase family of proteins, and are ubiquitously disseminated among all vertebrate and invertebrate organisms, and have been implicated in innumerable biological and cellular functionality. Herein, we characterized and evaluated immunoregulatory characteristics of Legumain-1 from Fasciola gigantica (Fg-LGMN-1) during its interaction with host immune cells . The isopropyl-ß-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) stimulated RFg-LGMN-1 protein was positively detected by rat serum containing anti-RFg-LGMN-1 polyclonal antibodies . Furthermore, the uptake of RFg-LGMN-1 by goat monocytes was successfully confirmed using Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA). The immunohistochemical analysis revealed the native localization of LGMN-1 protein on the periphery and internal structures such as suckers, pharynx, and genital pore of the adult parasite, thereby validating its presence in excretory-secretory (ES) products of F. gigantica . The RFg-LGMN-1 co-incubated with concanavalin-A (Con-A) stimulated the increase of interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-10, and IL-17 in monocytes derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in the concentration-dependent manner. However, the IL-4 cytokine in response to the RFg-LGMN-1 protein declined. These results illuminated the role of LGMN-1 during the parasite-host interface. Our findings elaborated additional evidence that Legumain protein play a role in the manipulating host immune responses during parasite infections. However, further evaluation of RFg-LGMN-1 protein in context of its immunomodulatory roles should be conducted to enhance our understandings of the mechanisms employed by F. gigantica to evade host immune responses.

Bergenin ( BER ) is a bioactive compound used for the treatment of chronic bronchitis in China. However, its low solubility and permeation limits its oral bioavailability. In this study, a new BER : isonicotinamide ( ISN ) cocrystal (1: 1, molar ratio) was reported for the first time. BER-ISN shows better solubility and intrinsic dissolution rates (IDRs) in aqueous medias such as water, buffer solutions with pH = 1.2, 4.5, and 6.8 in comparison to BER monohydrate. For instance, the solubilities of BER-ISN and BER monohydrate in water were 3.72 ± 0.22 and 1.42 ± 0.006 mg/mL, respectively, showing 2.62 times improvement. IDRs of BER-ISN and BER monohydrate were 29.90 ± 0.04 and 18.64 ± 0.27 mg/min/cm 2 , respectively, which was consistent with the solubility results. To explain the solubility behavior, phase solubility diagrams of BER monohydrate, ISN and BER-ISN in three pure organic solvents (ethanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate) were performed according to the solubility product ( K sp ) and complexes formation ( K 11 ) theory. The predicted solubilities are consistent with experimental solubilities considering complexation effects. The Hildebrand solubility parameter (HSP) calculations support the results. Thus, BER-ISN cocrystal (1: 1) with improved solubility is a good candidate for further formulation development.

The salt-free catanionic surfactant dodecyltrimethylammonium decanoate (DTAD) was synthesized by a novel method. Phase behavior and phase structure of DTAD with water at full concentration range were studied at 20–45 °C, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy (FF-TEM), polarization microscopy, and small-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The DTAD–water system formed a large aqueous multi-phase region, a large lamellar liquid crystal (L α phase) region, and a hydrated crystal phase. The densely packed vesicles and the lamellar structure induced the formation of aqueous multi-phase region. With increasing temperature, the multi-phase region and the L α phase region reduced, and the isotropic solution phase (L 1 phase) appeared.

The liquid-liquid equilibrium data and the specific heat capacities for the binary room temperature ionic solution {1-butanol + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide} have been reported. The corresponding critical exponents β and α were obtained and found to be well coincided with the 3D-Ising criticality. The critical complete scaling theory was applied to successfully describe the asymmetric behavior of the diameter of the coexistence curve with the consideration of the heat capacity related term. The large values of the reduced critical density, the reduced critical temperature and the critical amplitude related to the heat capacity were deduced, which indicated a solvophobic criticality of the studied system.

Aging is a major risk factor for the onset and progression of many neurodegenerative diseases. Inflammation is the body’s natural defense mechanism against harmful stimuli . A growing body of research has highlighted the intricate relationship between aging and inflammation, with chronic low - grade inflammation, often referred to as “inflammaging,” being a hallmark of the aging process. Cycloneolitsol (CL) is a C-32 cycloartane-type triterpene from Taxodium ascendens which has been reported to possess the anticancer, neuroprotection and antibacterial activities. Its specific role and the underlying molecular mechanisms in modulating the aging process remain unclear. Our study aimed to explore the possible anti-aging effect and mechanisms of CL. Network pharmacology predicted core targets and several potential pathways, which are associated with the anti-aging effect of CL. RAW264.7 macrophages and Caenorhabditis elegans were selected for evaluating its anti-aging and anti-inflammation activity. The results showed that CL exerted obvious anti-inflammatory effects against LPS-induced M1-type polarization of RAW264.7 cells via NF-κB signaling pathway. In C. elegans , CL improved Biological Characteristics and prolonged the lifespan without reproductive toxicity. Furthermore, experiments on different mutant C. elegans strains and the nuclear translocation of SKN-1 confirmed that CL activates autophagy and enhances the antioxidant stress response ability through the SEK-1/PMK-1/SKN-1 signaling pathway. This study provides novel insights into the biological activities of CL, highlighting its potential as a natural product for treating inflammation-related diseases and delay aging.

The Z-scheme heterojunction has demonstrated significant potential for promoting photogenerated carrier separation. However, the rational design of all-solid Z-scheme heterojunctions catalysts and the controversies about carrier transfer path of direct Z-scheme heterojunctions catalysts face various challenges. Herein, a novel heterojunction, Cu 2 O@V-CN (octa), was fabricated using V-CN (carbon nitride with nitrogen-rich vacancies) in-situ electrostatic self-wrapping Cu 2 O octahedra. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the separation of carriers across the Cu 2 O@V-CN (octa) heterointerface was directly mapped to the Z-scheme mechanism compared to Cu 2 O/V-CN (sphere). This is because the Cu 2 O octahedra expose more highly active (1 1 1) lattice planes with more terminal Cu atoms and V-CN with abundant nitrogen vacancies to form delocalized electronic structures like electronic reservoirs. This facilitates the wrapping of Cu 2 O octahedra by V-CN and protects their stability via tighter interfacial contact, thus enhancing the tunneling of carriers for rapid photocatalytic sterilization. These findings provide novel approaches for designing high-efficiency Cu 2 O-based photocatalytic antifoulants for practical applications.

Clean utilization of catalytically cracked diesel is of paramount importance in the industry. The separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from catalytically cracked diesel can significantly reduce the content of aromatics and increase the cetane number to improve the quality of diesel. In this work, for extracting the PAH 1-methylnaphthalene from the model fluid catalytic cracking diesel, the liquid–liquid equilibrium phase behavior for the quaternary systems (n-decane + 1-tetradecene + 1-methylnaphthalene + sulfolane/dimethyl sulfoxide) were explored at 303.15, 323.15, and 343.15 K under 0.1 MPa. The separation performance was characterized by the separation factor and distribution coefficient. The results showed that sulfolane was a suitable extractant compared to DMSO. The reliability of the measured phase equilibrium data was evaluated by the Hand and Othmer–Tobias equations. The UNIQUAC and NRTL models were applied to fit the tie-line data of the investigated mixtures with the AARD and rmsd lower than 0.01. The intermolecular interaction was explored by the σ-profile analysis to compare the separation performance of sulfolane and DMSO.

Biodiesel is recognized as a powerful substitute for diesel fuel. The alcohol can be blended with diesel or biodiesel for certain property improvements. In this research, the liquid thermal conductivity of binary mixtures containing ethyl laurate, typically the important biodiesel component + three alcohols (1-propanol, 1-butanol, and 1-pentanol), was measured in the temperature range between 292 and 362 K at atmospheric pressure. It is estimated that the experimental results’ overall standard uncertainty was no more than 2%; the repeatability was less than ±0.5%. From the experimental data of three binary mixtures, three correlations have been fitted and optimized as they are available in calculating the mixtures’ liquid thermal conductivity.

The surface tensions ( γ ) and viscosities ( η ) of 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol (DMA2P) − 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine (AEP) and DMA2P − 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane (DAMP) were measured and correlated. According to the CO 2 capture temperature from the thermal power plant flue gas (around 313 K), the experimental temperatures were selected to be 303.2 K, 313.2 K and 323.2 K. The mass fractions of DMA2P ranged from 0.300 to 0.500, and those for activators (AEP and DAMP) ranged from 0.050 to 0.150. Temperature and composition dependences of γ and η were demonstrated on the basis of experiments and calculations. The activation energy ( E a) was estimated from the temperature dependence of viscosity. Analytical formulations of surface entropy ( S S ) and surface enthalpy ( H S ) were deduced from the analytical equation of γ . S S and H S were calculated and their variations with respect to mass fraction were analyzed.

Here, N -doped hollow carbon sphere (NHCS)-supported (1 1 1)-plane-engineered sub-5-nm Pt (Pt-NHCS) catalysts regulated precisely by imidazolium ionic liquids were synthesized successfully and used to catalyze oxygen reduction. The (1 1 1)-plane engineered Pt nanocrystals with a diameter of 4.5 ± 0.5 nm were homogeneously deposited on the 3-dimensional spherical nanoshells. The resulting Pt nanocrystals anchored on the carbon skeleton exhibit a stable configuration in both alkaline and acid electrolytes with the help of imidazolium cations and pyrolysis. Among all as-prepared catalysts, the optimized Pt-NHCS shows remarkable long-term durability. Specifically, Pt-NHCS maintains 95.3% of the original current density after 10,000 potential cycles, while Pt/C benchmarks exhibit a retention of 78.5%. Accelerated durability test results indicate that Pt-NHCS exhibits a high efficiency of 96 % in comparison with initial current density, while a value of 86% for Pt/C. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that reactive Pt(1 1 1) planes with well-defined Schottky defects and vacancies adsorb and activate oxygen molecule rapidly while desorbing the reaction intermediates.
