To increase effluent quality and membrane flux , membrane bioreactor was integrated with microbial fuel cell (MBR/MFC), in which functional cathode membranes could enable fouling reduction and even electro-catalytic pollutant degradation using the bio-generated electricity. Modifying stainless steel mesh (SSM) with only polypyrrole (PPy) or cheap ARS (Alizarin Red's) or expensive AQS (9,10-anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid) doped PPy film, helped obtain high ORR (oxygen reduction reaction) activity and higher power output in the integrated MBR/MFC system. The ARS and PPy modified cathode membranes, could not only increase the degradation of (MB) methylene blue (> 90%, 1 h), but also enable higher antifouling property in filtrations. Most importantly, replacing the blank SSM, the use of PPy/AQS, PPy/ARS and PPy modified SSM, increased power density 31.37, 27.06 and 23.7 times respectively in the integrated MBR/MFC system. The new system has great application potential and economic feasibility in effective removal of COD and NH 4 + -N nutrients, has better effluent qualities and has higher energy recovery.

Seeking for ultrasensitive and low-cost substrates is highly demandable for practical applications of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology. In this work, we report an ultrasensitive SERS-active substrate based on wet-chemistry-synthesized vertically aligned large-area TiO2 nanosheets (NSs) decorated by densely packed gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) with sub-5 nm gaps. Via a multistep successive deposition process, three-dimensional-stacked Au NPs sandwiched by a 3 nm SiO2 layer were assembled onto the TiO2 NS, enabling numerous hotspots due to the formation of both ultratiny plasmonic gaps and semiconductor/metal interfaces. Experimental results show that the fabricated substrate displays a detection limit down to 10 fM (10–14 M) without involving any condensation process by using the crystal violet as probe molecules. Control experiments and electromagnetic simulations indicate that the nanogaps defined by the 3 nm spacer are essential for the obtained excellent SERS performance. With its ultrasensitive detection capability, we demonstrate that the fabricated SERS substrate can be used for the trace analysis of melamine in milk.

In this article, a calorimeter was established on the basis of steady-flow calorimetry. The present calorimeter was utilized to measure the isobaric heat capacity (cp) of target fluids. First, water was measured to verify the reliability of the experimental system. Then the measurements of cp for methyl hexanoate and ethyl hexanoate were carried out at temperatures from 313 K to 433 K and pressures of up to 10 MPa. To implement easier industrial application, a correlation was proposed on the basis of the experimental data to calculate the cp values of methyl hexanoate and ethyl hexanoate, with maximum absolute relative deviations of 0.77% and 0.65%, respectively. The newly reported data will be helpful for use with methyl hexanoate and ethyl hexanoate.

Fluorescent silicone polymers have attracted much attention owing to their strong fluorescence and high stabilities. However, most of these silicone polymers have suffered from fluorescence quenching caused by aggregation in high concentrations. In this work, 7, 11-diphenyl-8 H - acenaphth[1, 2 - f ] isoindole-8, 10 (9 H ) - dione functionalized polysiloxane (PMDF) with strong blue fluorescence was successfully synthesized via Diels-Alder reaction. Besides high thermal stability, PMDF showed unique aggregation-induced emission enhancement in high concentrations, indicating it is an excellent fluorescent silicone polymer in both disperse and aggregate state. Moreover, the product polymer showed highly sensitive fluorescence response to Fe 3+ , with low detection limit to 0.895 ppm and a high selectivity in the present of other metal ions. This work may open a new window for exploring fluorescent polymers as ideal probe for Fe 3+ .

The ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) detection method was developed for the residues of 10 NSAIDs (salicylic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, acetaminophen, diclofenac, tolfenamic acid, antipyrine, flunixin meglumine, aminophenazone, meloxicam, metamizole sodium) in swine muscle, liver, kidney, and fat. Swine tissue samples were extracted by phosphorylated acetonitrile with the addition of an appropriate amount of internal standard working solution, defatted with acetonitrile-saturated n -hexane, and purified by Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance (HLB) solid-phase extraction column, then separated by UPLC BEH shield RP 18 column with 0.1% formic acid in water/0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile with gradient elution, which was detected in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes. The correlation coefficient of the standard curve equation is greater than 0.99, and the coefficient of variation within and between batches is less than 14.4%. We evaluated the analytical method using two green assessment tools. The method established in this study met the requirements of NSAID residue analysis and provides analytical tools for determining and confirming NSAIDs in swine tissue samples. This is the first report on the simultaneous determination of 10 NSAIDs in four swine tissues by the UPLC-MS/MS method and accurate quantification using deuterated internal standards.

Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are the main components in some biodiesels, which are important alternatives of fossil fuels. In this paper, we carry out the measurements of the speed of sound in two FAEEs at the temperatures from (293.15 to 473.15) K and at the pressures up to 10 MPa, including saturated liquid and compressed liquid. The relative expanded uncertainty in the speed of sound is estimated to be less than 1.0% with coverage factor of k to be 2. The data in saturated liquid and compressed liquid are fitted into polynomials. For saturated liquid, the D AAD is 0.16% for ethyl hexanoate and 0.09% for ethyl octanoate. For compressed liquid, the D AAD is 0.31% for ethyl hexanoate and 0.16% for ethyl octanoate. The data were also used to assess the predictive ability of Wada’s model.

BACKGROUND Phenolic compounds could be sensitive to digestive conditions, thus a simulated in vitro digestion–dialysis process and cellular assays was used to determine phenolic compounds and antioxidant and antiproliferative potentials of 10 common edible flowers from China and their functional components. RESULTS Gallic acid, ferulic acid, and rutin were widely present in these flowers, which demonstrated various antioxidant capacities (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and CAA values) and antiproliferative potentials measured by the MTT method. Rosa rugosa , Paeonia suffruticosa and Osmanthus fragrans exhibited the best antioxidant and antiproliferative potentials against HepG2, A549 and SGC-7901 cell lines, except that Osmanthus fragrans was not the best against SGC-7901 cells. The in vitro digestion–dialysis process decreased the antioxidant potential by 33.95–90.72% and the antiproliferative potential by 13.22–87.15%. Following the in vitro digestion–dialysis process, phenolics were probably responsible for antioxidant ( R 2 = 0.794–0.924, P < 0.01) and antiproliferative ( R 2 = 0.408–0.623, P < 0.05) potential. Moreover, gallic acid may be responsible for the antioxidant potential of seven flowers rich in edible flowers. CONCLUSION The antioxidant and antiproliferative potential of 10 edible flowers revealed a clear decrease after digestion and dialysis along with the reduction of phenolics. Nevertheless, they still had considerable antioxidant and antiproliferative potential, which merited further investigation in in vivo studies. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry

The transport and absorption of antioxidant peptides are critical for their biological activity. The walnut meal-derived peptide YWSPNDEQFR (YR-10) has been shown to alleviate oxidative stress–induced liver injury, but its absorption mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we employed a Caco-2 monolayer, DPPC liposomes, and molecular docking to characterize the transepithelial transport of YR-10 across the intestinal epithelium. YR-10 was absorbed through clathrin-mediated endocytosis and paracellular pathway, with significantly promotes the restoration of ZO-1 and closure protein gene expression, indicating its ability to restore the integrity of the epithelial barrier. Further research revealed that YR-10 binding to lipid bilayers was predominantly entropy-driven, involving electrostatic, hydrogen-bonding, and hydrophobic interactions that regulated membrane fluidity and order. These findings collectively elucidate the intestinal absorption mechanism of YR-10 and provide a theoretical basis for improving the bioavailability of walnut powder-derived bioactive peptides in functional food applications.

The imbalanced expression of interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 4 and IRF8 in activated B cells significantly influences their differentiation and promotes the development of immune-related diseases. Restoring abnormal B cells to appropriate responses may treat these diseases. In this study, an oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) S2, designed according to the consensus sequence recognized by IRFs in interferon-stimulated response elements, was used as an immunomodulator to investigate its effects on mouse splenic B cells stimulated with the TLR9 agonist CpG ODN, either alone or in combination with antigen, and to explore its underlying mechanisms. The results showed that S2 had a significant negative regulatory effect on CpG ODN induced B cell activation. It also significantly downregulated the production of IL-6 and the percentage of IL-6 + B cells in splenocytes stimulated by CpG ODN, but significantly upregulated the percentage of IL-10 + B cells. Interestingly, S2 impaired antibody production both in vitro and in vivo, but rescued mice from lethal inflammatory responses. Further studies showed that S2 could bind IRF4 and IRF8 with high affinity, slightly upregulate phosphorylated IRF4, reduce the expression and nuclear translocation of IRF8, and alter the proportion of IRF4 + , IRF8 + or double-positive B cells in spleen cells induced by CpG ODN. These results suggest that S2 acts as a decoy directing some B cells to differentiate into IL-10-producing Breg-like cells rather than plasma cells by restoring the TLR9 signal-induced IRF4 and IRF8 ratio imbalance. This indicates its potential as an immunomodulator for the treatment of diseases associated with B-cell abnormalities.

The thermal diffusivities of 2-ethoxy-2-methylpropane (ETBE) and 2-methoxy-2-methylbutane (TAME) (mass purity > 0.990, GC) were measured by the dynamic light scattering method. The investigated p–T regions are T = (293 to 523) K and p = (4 to 10) MPa, including saturated liquid, saturated vapor, and liquid. The expanded relative uncertainty in thermal diffusivity was estimated to be less than 2.4% over the whole investigated range. The influences of temperature and pressure on thermal diffusivity were presented. The empirical correlation of thermal diffusivities for both saturated liquid/vapor and liquid were also proposed with absolute average relative deviations (AARDs) of 0.22 and 0.26% for saturated-liquid ETBE and TAME, 0.13 and 0.20% for saturated-vapor ETBE and TAME, and 0.23 and 0.69% for liquid ETBE and TAME, respectively.

This article deals with the saturated solubility and solvation behavior of 2-bromo-9-fluorenone in 10 industrial common solvents and three binary mixed solvents by means of experimental and mathematical correlations. Solubility experiments were investigated using the static equilibrium method combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) from 278.15 to 323.15 K at atmospheric pressure. The results showed that the maximum and minimum solubility of 2-bromo-9-fluorenone was 0.0526 (mole fraction) in 1,4-dioxane at 323.15 K and 0.0002 (mole fraction) in methanol at 278.15 K, respectively, and the solubility increased with the increase in temperature in all solvents. Furthermore, the solubility data of 2-bromo-9-fluorenone was analyzed using the Apelblat model, the Buchowski–Ksiazaczak λh model in pure solvents, CNIBS/R-K model, and the Jouyban–Acree model in binary solvent mixtures. By error comparison, the Apelblat model and the CNIBS/R-K model can better predict the solubility of 2-bromo-9-fluorenone. In addition, the solvation behavior was illustrated by the KAT-LSER model in pure solvents, and the result shows that the cohesive energy density in the solution is the main factor affecting 2-bromo-9-fluorenone. Therefore, the solubility data is very important for optimizing the extraction process and recrystallizing 2-bromo-9-fluorenone to obtain a higher yield in industry production.

Two new anthraquinone-organotin complexes [Ph 3 Sn(O 2 CC 14 H 7 O 2 ) · MeOH] · MeOH ( AQS01 ) and Cy 3 Sn(O 2 CC 14 H 7 O 2 ) ( AQS02 ) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, 119 Sn NMR, X-ray crystallography and thermo-gravimetric analysis. Incorporation of 9,10-anthraquinone with organotin successfully enhanced its anticancer activity. Interestingly, the anti-proliferative activity of AQS01 against CAL-27 cells in vitro was almost 10-fold that of mitoxantrone and 40-fold that of cisplatin. Flow cytometry showed that AQS01 could induce apoptosis and arrest cell cycle in S phase. UV–visible absorption spectrometry and molecular docking showed that AQS01 can be well embedded in the double helix of DNA. Moreover, AQS01 induced cell death by upregulating the expression level of the DNA damage protein γ -H 2 AX and activating the mitochondrial apoptotic signaling pathway (Bax/Bcl-2). Therefore, AQS01 can be used as a potential anticancer drug and has potential for further research.
