Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and complex immune cell interactions, leading to joint destruction. Traditional treatments are often limited by off-target effects and systemic toxicity. This study introduces a novel therapeutic approach using hyaluronic acid (HA)-conjugated, redox-responsive polyamino acid nanogels (HA-NG) to deliver tacrolimus (TAC) specifically to inflamed joints. The nanogels’ disulfide bonds enable controlled TAC release in response to high intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels in activated macrophages, prevalent in RA-affected tissues. In vitro results demonstrated that HA-NG/TAC significantly reduced TAC toxicity to normal macrophages and showed high biocompatibility. In vivo, HA-NG/TAC accumulated more in inflamed joints compared to non-targeted NG/TAC, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects. Therapeutic evaluation in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice revealed HA-NG/TAC substantially reduced paw swelling, arthritis scores, synovial inflammation, and bone erosion while suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. These findings suggest that HA-NG/TAC represents a promising targeted drug delivery system for RA, offering potential for more effective and safer clinical applications.

In this paper, quaternized β-cyclodextrin–montmorillonite composite (QCD-MMT) was obtained and absorption properties of Cr(VI), methyl orange and p-nitrophenol were studied. QCD was prepared by 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). QCD-MMT was obtained by reaction between QCD and montmorillonite suspensions, which could be attributed to the montmorillonite cation ion exchange properties. β-CD cavities of this composite were expected to capture organic molecules through inclusion, while montmorillonite units acted as the adsorption sites for metals. QCD-MMT was characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis, XRD, SEM-EDX, and TGA. Adsorptions of Cr(VI), methyl orange, and p-nitrophenol were highly dependent on adsorbent dose, initial concentration, temperature, contact time, and pH. Adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI), methyl orange, and p-nitrophenol followed the pseudo-second-order model. Meanwhile, adsorption of Cr(VI) fit better in the Freundlich model, inferring a multilayer adsorption, while the adsorption of methyl orange and p-nitrophenol fit better in Langmuir model, inferring a monolayer adsorption. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the adsorptions were all endothermic process and could be spontaneous at given temperature range, except for Cr(VI), of which adsorption should be at much higher temperature. Overall, QCD-MMT exhibited potential for practical applications in the treatment of both metal ions and organic pollutants.

The determination of organophosphorus pesticide (OP S ) residues is of great significance to the evaluation and monitoring of food quality. In this study, nitrogen-, sulfur-, and silicon-co-doped carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from broccoli leaves and stems using a hydrothermal method and applied in fluorescent detection of organophosphorus pesticides. The prepared N-, S- , Si -doped CDs are water-dispersible and hydrophilic with good fluorescent properties. It was found that fluorescence of the prepared CDs could be selectively quenched by Fe 3+ derived from Fe 2+ oxidation by hydrogen peroxide. A linear relationship between the fluorescence of CDs and concentration of Fe 3+ was established in a range of 0 − 200 µM, and its specific detection limit was 1.43 µM. CDs/Fe 2+ /acetylcholinesterase (AChE) fluorescent system was subsequently established to detect and quantify OPs residues in food samples based on the AChE inhibition strategy with a good linear range of 0.01 − 1.0 µM of O , O -dimethyl- O -2,2-dichlorovinyl phosphate (DDVP) concentration. A low detection limit of 8.0 nM was achieved. The hetero-atoms-doped CDs, which could be prepared from agro-wastes on a large scale, have great potential for the rapid real-time detection of OPs in authentic food samples with low detection values.

The alumina ceramics with high compressive strength were prepared by pressureless sintering, and the kaolinite and calcium carbonate were added as Al 2 O 3 –SiO 2 –CaO sintering aids. The effects of sintering temperature on the volume shrinkage, bulk density, water absorption and compressive strength of the alumina ceramics were studied. The phase composition, crystal cell parameters, average grain size and microstructure of the ceramic were analyzed by XRD, SEM and EDS. The results show that the lattice tends to packed with the increase of sintering temperature. The bonding between grains is the most compact after sintering at 1700°C. The volume shrinkage increases with the increase of sintering temperature. The water absorption of alumina ceramics after sintering at 1700°C reaches the minimum value of 0.06%. The bulk density and compressive strength increase first and then decrease with the increase of sintering temperature. At 1700°C, optimized mechanical properties of alumina ceramics is obtained, with a bulk density of 3.80 g/cm 3 and a compressive strength of 1323 MPa.

Novel nitrogen–doped carbon (NC) coating encapsulating block-like Sn/SnO 2 (Sn/SnO 2 @NC) composite powders are successfully synthesized via hydrothermal, sol–gel, and subsequent heat treatment processes, which are characterized by XRD, SEM, thermogravimetric, Raman, and XPS. The results indicate that the Sn/SnO 2 @NC-2 composite powders are uniformly distributed in the NC matrix in the presence of 7.000 g of acrylamide. Moreover, the Sn/SnO 2 @NC-2 composite powders deliver high initial discharge specific capacity of 1132 mAh g −1 and decent capacity of 471.4 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g −1 when the composite powders are evaluated as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The improved electrochemical performance of Sn/SnO 2 @NC-2 is mainly ascribed to the NC coating that can relieve the volume expansion and provide multiple charge transfer channels for electrons to consolidate the structural stability and promote the electronic conductivity of the Sn/SnO 2 anode materials, respectively. Therefore, the Sn/SnO 2 @NC-2 composite powders can be a promising and attractive anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

The permanganate (Mn(VII)) oxidation has emerged as a promising technology for the remediation and treatment of the groundwater and surface water contaminated with the organic compounds. Nonetheless, only a few studies have been conducted to explore the role of the heavy metals (especially the redox-active ones) during the Mn(VII) oxidation process. In this study, taking Pb(II) as an example, its influence on the Mn(VII) decontamination performance has been extensively investigated. It was found that, with the presence of Pb(II), Mn(VII) could degrade diclofenac (DCF), 2,4-dichlorophenol, and aniline more effectively than without. For instance, over a wide pH range of 4.5–8.0, the dosing of 10 µmol/L Pb(II) accelerated the DCF removal rate from 0.006–0.25 min −1 to 0.05–0.46 min −1 with a promotion factor of 1.9–9.4. Although the UV-vis spectroscopic and high resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses suggested that Mn(VII) could react with Pb(II) to produce Mn(IV) and Pb(IV) at pH 6.0–8.0, further experiments revealed that Pb(II) did not exert its enhancing effect through promoting the generation of MnO 2 , as the reactivity of MnO 2 was poor under the employed pH range. At pH below 5.0, it was interesting to find that, a negligible amount of MnO 2 was formed in the Mn(VII)/Pb(II) system in the absence of contaminants, while once MnO 2 was generated in the presence of contaminants, it could catalyze the Pb(II) oxidation to Pb(IV) by Mn(VII). Collectively, by highlighting the conversion process of Pb(II) to Pb(IV) by either Mn(VII) or MnO 2 , the reactive Pb(III) intermediates were proposed to account for the Pb(II) enhancement effect.

Menisci are fundamental fibrocartilaginous organs in knee joints. The injury in meniscus can impair normal knee function and predisposes patients to osteoarthritis. This study prepared decellularized meniscus scaffolds using a 1% (w/w) sodium dodecyl sulfate solution and sufficient rinsing steps. Complete cell removal was verified by hematoxylin and eosin staining and DNA content assay. Decellularized menisci had accordant tension properties to intact ones, but with declined compression properties. This occurred because the collagen fiber was not damaged but glycosaminoglycans was significantly lost during the decellularization process, which was confirmed by biochemical assay and histology staining. In vitro cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that decellularized meniscus scaffolds have no toxicity on L929 murine fibroblasts and porcine chondrocytes. Further experiment showed that porcine chondrocytes could adhere and proliferate on the scaffold surface, and some cells even could infiltrate into the scaffold. All results showed the potential of this decellularized meniscus to be the scaffolds in tissue engineering.

Hollow mesoporous silica particles(HMSPs) were prepared by using polystyrene microspheres as a template and loaded with silver chloride(AgCl) to act as antibacterial agents. The HMSPs possess radially oriented pore channels and a high loading amount of AgCl. The AgCl loaded HMSPs were then dispersed in hybrid coatings with different mass ratios to fabricate antibacterial coatings. The antibacterial activities of the coatings were tested against Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) and Streptococcus mutants (ATCC 25175). The resulting antibacterial coatings exhibited high antibacterial activities, high hardness, and acceptable adhesion to the substrate.

Dye wastewater with high concentration, large molecular weight, complex structure, and certain toxicity has brought a serious burden to the environment. In this study, acid red 73 dye (AR73) was used as the model pollutant to compare the degradation effects of different systems on AR73. The influence factors of a UV/hydrogen peroxide/peroxydisulfate (UV/H 2 O 2 /PDS) composite system, such as H 2 O 2 dosage, initial concentration of AR73, initial pH value, anion concentration, and actual water, on the degradation of AR73 were investigated. Compared with other systems, the UV/H 2 O 2 /PDS composite system had the best degradation effect of AR73, with a degradation efficiency of 98.98%, which conforms to the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic model, the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic constant ( k obs ) is 0.1339 min −1 . And the synergy coefficients in this complex system were all greater than 2. Specifically, the degradation efficiency of the UV/H 2 O 2 /PDS composite system for AR73 was the highest when the initial pH was neutral. The presence of anions inhibited the degradation of AR73, and the real water reduced the degradation efficiency for AR73. Electron spin resonance (ESR) detection and free radicals capture test demonstrated that hydroxyl radical ( · OH) was the main reactive species in AR73 degradation, and its 80.66–84.93% contribution. With the destruction of the structure of AR73 by free radicals, anilines, phenols, and oxalic acid were found to be the main intermediate products during the degradation of AR73 by gas-phase mass spectrometry and UV–vis spectrograms. The changes in toxicity during the degradation of AR73 by the UV/H 2 O 2 /PDS complex system were also assessed.

Abstract Lignin is a typical biological macromolecule with a three-dimensional network structure and abundant functional groups. It has excellent ionic complexation ability and amphiphilic molecular structure characteristics. In this study, the carbon steel anticorrosion performance of sodium lignosulfonate (SLS) in an acid solution was evaluated using the weight loss method, electrochemical measurements, scanning vibration electrode technique (SVET), and surface characterization methods. SLS exhibited excellent corrosion inhibition efficiency for Q235 carbon steel in 1 mol·L -1 HCl, reaching a maximum value of 98%. A low SLS concentration of 20 mg·L -1 resulted in the maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency, which remained nearly constant at higher SLS concentrations. The SVET test demonstrated that the formation of an SLS adsorption film can impede corrosion. This study confirms the significance of the application of green biomass resources in the field of metal corrosion protection and green functional materials. Graphical abstract

The recently emerged double-cable conjugated polymers have come into focus due to their significantly improved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) in single-component organic solar cells (SCOSCs). In this work, the effect of chlorination in double-cable conjugated polymers with linear benzodithiophene backbone and pendant perylene bisimide on the photovoltaic performance in SCOSCs has been studied. After introducing chlorine atoms into conjugated side chains, the highest occupied molecular orbital level of the conjugated polymers is down-shifted, thus resulting in a higher open-circuit voltage. As a result, the chlorinated double-cable conjugated polymer exhibits improved photovoltaic performance from 3.46% to 3.57%.
