Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) nanoparticles (NPs) doped with rare earth (RE) metal ions (Y 2.5 Sm 0.5 Fe 5 O 12 , Y 2.5 Nd 0.5 Fe 5 O 12 ) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion approach. The cubic crystalline structure and morphology of the prepared garnet ferrite NPs were analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The cubic crystalline garnet phase of the synthesized YIG, Sm-YIG and Nd-YIG samples was successfully achieved at 950 °C sintering temperature . The force constant and absorption bands were estimated by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The doping effect of RE metal ions on the chemical states of YIG were examined by x-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS). The valence band (from 12.63 eV to 13.22 eV), conduction band (from 10.89 eV to 11.34 eV) edges and optical bandgap values of RE doped YIG samples were calculated using UV–Vis spectroscopy and ultraviolet photo electron spectroscopy (UPS). The magnetic analysis of the prepared NPs was studied using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XPS analysis of RE doped YIG samples exhibit the existence of RE (Sm +3 , Nd +3 ) contents on the surface of YIG ferrite by decreasing the oxygen lattice in garnet structure. The optical bandgap (from 1.74 eV to 1.88 eV) explains the semiconducting nature of the synthesized NPs. The UPS results confirm the valence band position of YIG doped samples. The saturation magnetization and remanence of RE doped garnet ferrite samples increased from 13.45 to 18.83 emu/g and 4.06–6.53 emu/g, respectively.

Acetylated chitin nanocrystals were prepared through surface modification, and biodegradable poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/chitin nanocrystals films were produced via solution-casting method. Transmission electron microscopy observations and X-ray diffraction profiles revealed that the rod-like morphology and crystal structure of chitin nanocrystals were maintained. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that the hydroxyl groups were partly replaced by the acetyl groups on the surface of chitin nanocrystals. The hydrophobic performance of the acetylated chitin nanocrystals was significantly increased according to the contact angle measurements. Differential scanning calorimeter results indicated that the influence of chitin nanocrystals on the crystallization behaviors of PHBV matrix was changed from suppression to assistance after the surface modification. Tensile test showed that the tensile strength and Young's modulus of PHBV/acetylated chitin nanocrystals composites were improved by 44% and 67%, comparing to the improvement of 24% and 43% for PHBV/chitin nanocrystals composites with the addition of 5.0 wt.% nanocrystals into PHBV.

Four new water-soluble polysaccharides has previously been isolated from Cardamine hupingshanensis . In this experiment, the structure of C. hupingshanensis polysaccharide NO. 3 (CHP-3) is analyzed and its in vitro anti-tumor activity is assessed. Through structural analysis, CHP-3 is found to have a molecular weight of 80.64 kDa, and be mainly composed of glucose, galactose, and L -arabinose; The backbone of CHP-3 is mainly composed of →5)-α-L-Araf-(1→ and →4)-α-D-Glc(p)-(1→), respectively. By studying its anti-tumor activity in vitro, it can be concluded that treatment with different concentrations of CHP-3 exerted diverse effects on A549 cells, with an obvious dose-dependent relationship. Moreover, after treatment with 12.8 mg mL −1 CHP-3, significant inhibitory effects are observed on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of A549 cells, indicating that it can be used as an anti-tumor agent for continued in-depth research.

Chemically modified chitin nanocrystals were synthesized by grafting poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) onto chitin backbone via chlorination. Acetyl amino group was maintained in the reaction. The chemical structure and morphology of PHBV grafted chitin nanocrystals were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Contact angle measurement showed that the lipophilicity of chitin was improved by the surface modification. The effects of original chitin and PHBV-graft-chitin nanocrystals on the crystallizing and melting behavior of PHBV were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results indicated that both unmodified and modified chitin nanocrystals suppressed crystallization of PHBV. The melt point of PHBV was increased after being mixed with nanofillers.

Growing evidence links environmental pollutant exposure to the deterioration of male reproductive health. In this study, the interactive toxicity between polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) and 3,3′,4,4′,5-pentachlorobiphenyl on human sperm functions were evaluated. Functional assays were performed on sperm in vitro from healthy volunteers treated separately or jointly with PS-NPs and PCB-126. Key endpoints—motility, cervical mucus-penetrating ability, capacitation, acrosome reaction, intracellular reactive oxygen species, and mitochondrial membrane potential—were significantly more impaired under co-exposure conditions than with individual treatments. Notably, combined treatment synergistically increased ROS accumulation, enhanced mitochondrial depolarization, and inhibited progesterone-stimulated capacitation and acrosome reaction of human sperm. The observed synergistic toxicity may be mediated through oxidative stress and disruption of mitochondrial function, leading to apoptotic-like changes. These results draw attention to the reproductive risks that may emerge from dual exposure to nanoplastics and stable organic environmental chemicals within the setting of idiopathic male infertility.

Sustainable nanocomposites with transparent, biodegradable, and enhanced mechanical and barrier properties were prepared by the incorporation of SiO 2 into poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) films and subsequent solvent casting. The crystallinity of composites could be increased by 67% with appropriate contents of SiO 2 , which proved that SiO 2 were effective nucleating agents for PHBH. And it was worth mentioning that the contributions of SiO 2 to the crystallization and thermal stability of composites are proved effectively by Avrami relationship and Horowitz and Metzger method. More importantly, compared with PHBH, it had not only an enhancement about 40% and 60% on the tensile strength and elastic modulus, respectively, but also half the reduction of the moisture and oxygen permeability which were much higher than the values of conventional plastics. The above, in conjunction with the low migration rate measured in food substitutes, illustrated unambiguously that the nanocomposites might be suitable for potential application in food packaging.

Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in the generation of smog and ozone. Although great efforts have been made to determine NO by using o-phenylenediamine (OPD)-based fluorescent probes, more simple and reliable colorimetric assays for detection of NO are extremely scarce because a single OPD structure cannot produce enough optical absorption for chromogenesis. In this study, we report an innovative two-in-one visual colorimetric methodology. Commercially available 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) with two OPD structures in a single molecule is selected as the colorimetric probe, and it reacts with NO via diazo-coupling reaction to generate 1H,3’H-[5,5′]bibenzotriazolyl because of the increase of conjugated double bonds, accompanying a distinct color change from colorless to brownish yellow. This two-in-one colorimetric assay can determine NO at a concentration as low as 3 ppm by the naked eye and 40 ppb by UV-vis spectrometry, which is the lowest limit of detection (LOD) among reported colorimetric assays for NO. Moreover, the present two-in-one visual colorimetric assay also has good selectivity toward NO over other common potential gas interferents such as CO 2 , NO 2 , NH 3 , N 2 , O 2 , and SO 2 . This present study provides a new insight for the design and development of assays for NO.

BACKGROUND 3-Methyl-3-penten-2-one (3M3P) is an indispensable raw material used for the synthesis of OTNE (octahydrotetramethyl acetophenone), a synthetic ketone fragrance known by commercial trade names, such as Iso E Super® , which is one of the most important ingredients in perfumes. This work is the first to unravel the reaction route and kinetics for the synthesis of 3M3P via the cross-aldol condensation of acetaldehyde with butanone, catalyzed by the heterogeneous acidic ion exchange resin (NKC-9). RESULTS An effective method was developed to evaluate this complex reaction system: the reaction routes were determined experimentally from the product structures detected by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and the significance of side reactions were evaluated by the Yoneda group contribution method. The major side reactions are the self-condensation of acetaldehyde (significant even under optimized reaction conditions) and the cross-aldol condensation of acetaldehyde with 3M3P (which could be effectively suppressed at high butanone-acetaldehyde molar ratio). The reaction kinetics was investigated at temperatures of 60–90 °C, catalyst mass fraction of 5 to 15%, and molar ratio of 5–20. At optimized reaction conditions, the yield of 3M3P was up to 90.85%, which is 2.4 times higher than that for the classic homogeneous catalysts (yield <38%). CONCLUSION Acidic ion exchange resin NKC-9 is a high-selective green catalyst for the cross-aldol condensation of acetaldehyde with butanone. Integrating experimental determination and thermomechanical analysis is an effective method to unravel the main reaction routes for a complex system. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI)

BackgroundAlthough exposure to individual metal does exhibit its toxicity, combined exposures provide a more effective representation of the toxic effects of different heavy metal exposures on public health as well as ecosystems. Furthermore, there are few studies on composite exposure to low concentrations of heavy metals, which is more consistent with real-life exposure. The purpose of this study was to explore the neurotoxicity induced by combined exposure to low concentrations of Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) and the potential interaction of their mixture in vitro.MethodsPC12 cells were incubation with the corresponding concentration of cadmium chloride and/or lead acetate. Viability of PC12 cells was measured by CCK8 assay after 12, 24 and 48h incubation. Next, We measured the ROS, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and apoptosis produced by different treated cells using ROS assay kit, JC-1 MMP assay kit and annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) apoptosis assay kit, respectively. Expression of proteins related to PI3K/AKT and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in PC12 cells were tested by western blotting. Our study was the first to analyze the interaction between Pb and Cd using a 3 × 3 factorial design approach to observe neurotoxicity.ResultsThe results showed that the combined exposure of them was more cytotoxic than the single metal. The activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and several parameters related to oxidative stress and ER stress were significantly altered in combined exposure to low concentrations of Pb and Cd compared with the Pb or Cd. Regarding apoptosis and ER stress, a synergistic interaction between Pb and Cd was evident. Moreover, evoked ER stress as a mechanism involved in the apoptosis of PC12 cells by the combined exposure to Pb and Cd.ConclusionThe present study provides a theoretical basis used for the toxicological assessment of metal mixtures induced neurotoxicity of concern in terms of public health, and more effective control measures should be taken for the environmental pollution caused by various mixed heavy metals discharged from industry and agriculture.

Formation of 3-monochloropropanediol (3-MCPD) esters from monostearoyl glycerol (MSG) was investigated under high temperature and low moisture conditions. Different organic and inorganic chlorides, including lindane, KCl, CaCl2, NaCl, MgCl2, AlCl3, CuCl2, MnCl2, SnCl2, ZnCl2, and FeCl3, were evaluated for their potential to react with MSG to form 3-MCPD and glycidyl esters at 120 and 240 °C using a UPLC-Q-TOF MS analysis. The results indicated that different chlorine compounds differed in their capacity to react with MSG and formed different products including 3-MCPD mono- and diesters, distearoylglycerol, and glycidyl esters. According to electron spin resonance (ESR) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies, free radical mediated formation mechanisms involving either five-membered or six-membered cyclic acyloxonium free radicals (CAFR) from monoacylglycerol (MAG) were proposed. Tandem quadrupole-time-of-flight (Q-TOF) MS and MS/MS analyses confirmed the free radical mechanisms. In addition, the results from the present study showed that 3-MCPD monoester could be degraded upon thermal treatment and suggested a possible catalytic role of Fe3+ under the experimental conditions.

Estradiol is the most potent and biologically active form of estrogen with glucuronide as its predominant conjugation form. Major estradiol glucuronides include estradiol-3-glucuronide (E 2 3G), estradiol-17β-glucuronide (E 2 17βG), and estradiol-3-sulfate-17β-glucuronide (E 2 3S17βG). Hepatic disposition of E 2 17βG involves basolateral uptake transporters organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1/1B3 and apical efflux transporters multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2)/breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). In addition, E 2 3G and E 2 3S17βG are substrates for MRP2/BCRP. However, whether E 2 3G and E 2 3S17βG across the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes are transporter-mediated and which transporters play the most significant roles are largely unknown. Therefore, in the present study we investigated the human hepatic uptake transporters for E 2 3G and E 2 3S17βG. Our results showed that E 2 3G and E 2 3S17βG are transported by human OATPs. Specifically, E 2 3G is a substrate for OATP1B1, 1B3, and 2B1, with K m values being of 16.0, 23.8, and 6.4 μM, respectively, and OATP2B1 possesses the highest transport efficiency. E 2 3S17βG is a substrate for OATP1B1 and 1B3, with K m values being of 0.5 and 23.7 μM, respectively, and OATP1B1 has a higher transport efficiency. At low concentrations, E 2 3G and E 2 3S17βG are selective substrates for OATP2B1 and OATP1B1, respectively. Furthermore, mutual and differential inhibition between E 2 3G/E 2 3S17βG and known OATP substrates/inhibitors has been observed. In summary, our results demonstrated that basolateral OATPs and apical MRP2/BCRP could constitute the hepatic vectorial transport of E 2 3G and E 2 3S17βG from the blood to the bile. Significance Statement This study demonstrated that OATP1B1/1B3/2B1 are hepatic uptake transporters for E 2 3G, and OATP1B1/1B3 are hepatic uptake transporters for E 2 3S17βG. At low concentrations, E 2 3G and E 2 3S17βG are selectively transported by OATP2B1 and OATP1B1, respectively. The findings in this study unveil the underlying molecular mechanisms for the hepatic disposition of estradiol glucuronides E 2 3G and E 2 3S17βG.

Because reliable low-pressure vapor–liquid equilibrium
(VLE)
data for 3-buten-1-ol -containing systems are scarce and 3-buten-1-ol
exhibits strong heat sensitivity. Isobaric VLE data for the 3-buten-1-ol
+ n-butanol and 3-buten-1-ol + water systems were measured at pressures
ranging from 5 kPa to atmospheric pressure. The experimental data
were correlated using the NRTL activity coefficient model, which showed
satisfactory agreement with the measured results, with average root-mean-square
deviations below 0.15 K in temperature and 0.005 in vapor-phase composition.
The 3-buten-1-ol + n-butanol system does not form an azeotrope, and
its average relative volatility increases by 26% as the pressure decreases
from 101.5 to 5 kPa, indicating the potential benefit of vacuum distillation
for the separation of 3-buten-1-ol from n-butanol. The 3-buten-1-ol
+ water system forms an azeotrope, and the 3-buten-1-ol mole fraction
at the azeotropic composition decreases by 20% as the pressure decreases
from 99.5 to 5 kPa, suggesting that reduced-pressure operation may
facilitate 3-buten-1-ol dehydration. Residue curve maps of the 3-buten-1-ol
+ n-butanol + water system reveal two distillation regions. These
data provide thermodynamic information for 3-buten-1-ol separation
and purification.
