Background Effective drugs for preventing or treating skin flap necrosis remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the potential protective effect of exendin-4 against skin flap ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) through the inhibition of ferroptosis. Method A rat abdomen was constructed with an island skin flap, and the superficial vascular pedicle of the abdominal wall was closed using a vascular clamp, which was removed after 8 h. Before surgery, RSL3 and ferrostatin-1 solutions were intraperitoneally injected. After the surgery, subcutaneous injections of exendin-4 were administered daily. The number of inflammatory cells, mean vascular density, collagen fiber content, and apoptosis and ferroptosis indicators were quantified 24 h after reperfusion. Survival, contraction rate, and blood perfusion of the skin flap were evaluated on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after reperfusion. Results The flap survival rate was significantly higher in the exendin-4 group than that in the injury group, whereas the contraction rate was lower. Compared with the injury group, the exendin-4 group showed less inflammatory cell infiltration, higher vascular density, and less collagen fiber loss. At the molecular level, the exendin-4 group demonstrated opposite or elevated expression of apoptosis and ferroptosis indicators than those in the injury group, with significantly increased glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4). Ferroptosis inhibitors and agonists enhanced and reversed the protective effects of exendin-4, respectively. Conclusion Exendin-4 alleviates skin flap IRI by upregulating Gpx4 expression to inhibit ferroptosis. Therefore, exendin-4 may serve as a novel clinical treatment for skin flap IRI.

In this work, the copolymers were successfully synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of two monomers, bithiophene (BT) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), in a lithium perchlorate/propylene carbonate (LiClO 4 /PC) solution. The as-prepared were characterized with the aid of cyclic voltammetry, colorimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The electrochromic and colorimetric properties of copolymers poly(2,2′-bithiophene-co-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (P(BT-co-EDOT)) and homopolymer poly(2,2′-bithiophene) (PBT) in 0.1 M LiClO 4 /PC solution were investigated, and the coloring process based on the redox reaction of the film was observed. When an anodic potential is applied, the copolymer P(BT-co-EDOT) films show a color change from blue-purple to blue-gray changes, and the homopolymer PBT shows a color change from orange to brown. In addition, spectroelectrochemistry studies indicate that copolymer P(BT-co-EDOT) has a lower optical band gap (1.73–1.87 eV) than homopolymer PBT. The copolymers P(BT-co-EDOT) show a high optical contrast (36.65–42.62%) and coloration efficiency (215.8–296.6 cm 2 C −1 ). The copolymer P(BT1-co-EDOT1) demonstrates excellent redox cycling stability, with 90% of the original optical contrast maintained after 500 cycles, making it an ideal candidate for copolymers.

The sulfation pattern plays a crucial role in chondroitin sulfate (CS) biological activity, and preparation of CS with defined structure is essential for accurate pharmacological study. In this study, we focused on the preparation of regioselective 4- O /6- O -desulfated CS derived from porcine, employing a dimethyl sulfoxide-methanol (DMSO-MeOH) method and an N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) -trifluoroacetamide (MTSTFA) method CS, respectively. Results showed that the sulfate at C4 position (4- O -S) of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) was selectively removed by the DMSO-MeOH method, and the sulfate at C6 position (6- O -S) of GalNAc was selectively removed by the MTSTFA method. Structures of desulfated CS were characterized by means of FT-IR, NMR and disaccharide composition analysis. The preparations of regioselective 4- O /6- O -desulfated CS are powerful for the study of structure-activity relationship of CS.

By introducing two cholesteric liquid crystal monomers with different chain lengths (M1 and M2) and brominated naphthalimide fluorescent monomer (M3) into polymethyl hydrosiloxane, a series of fluorescent cholesteric liquid crystal polymers (FL-LCP) was prepared, which not only have excellent performance of liquid crystal and fluorescence but also own performance of selective reflection. Their chemical structures were confirmed to be in accord with molecular design by FT-IR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy, and found them with excellent thermal stability, mesomorphic behaviour and thermal performance by TGA, POM, DSC and XRD, and confirmed all the polymers belonged to the cholesteric phase. The FL-CLCPs emitted different intensity fluorescence under UV light, and conclusions about the relationship between fluorescence and temperature had been drawn. A comparative study was conducted on the fluorescence properties of powders and films of monomers and polymers.

The oxidative chemical polymerization of 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) was conducted at room temperature in the presence of poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) as the doping agent, sodium supersulphate (Na 2 S 2 O 8 ) and ferric sulphate(Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ) as the compound oxidant and deionized water as the solvent. In order to remove sodium ion (Na + ), ferric ion (Fe 3+ ), and sulfate ion (SO4 2− ), certain amount of ion exchanger was added after 24 h, the dark blue poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDT)/PSS solution was obtained. The influence of different proportions of EDOT and PSS, different proportions of EDOT and the compound oxidant, different stirring rates on the morphology, and surface resistivity were discussed. The influence of pH value of the PEDT/PSS solution, the coating thickness, and soak time on the surface resistivity was investigated. Recipe and experimental conditions were optimized and the PEDT/PSS solution was obtained with excellent performance which has relatively low in surface resistance, good water tolerance, and light transmittance. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Here, Au/polydopamine (Au/PDA) catalysts were prepared by gold sol adsorption (Au/PDA(Sol)), PDA in situ reduction (Au/PDA(PDA reduction)) and DA in situ reduction (Au/PDA(DA reduction)). The factors that influence the performance of Au-PDA on the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), were systematically studied for the first time. The catalytic performance of Au/PDA(Sol) is the best because of the uniform and small size of Au nanoparticles (NPs) (3.2 ± 0.7 nm), with a turn over frequency (TOF) of 10125 h −1 , a mass-normalized rate constant ( k’ ) of 33360 min -1 g Au -1 and an apparent activation energy (Ea) of 11.39 KJ/mol. It is confirmed that there are electronic interactions between Au and the catechol hydroxyl groups and imino groups of PDA. Some unreduced Au 3+ ions can be reduced in situ by NaBH 4 during the catalytic reaction, forming ultra small Au NPs and leading to a good initial catalytic activity, especially for Au/PDA(DA reduction). This work systematically studied the influencing factors in catalysis for Au/PDA, providing guidance for the preparation and industrial application of PDA supported noble metal catalysts.

Long-chain hyperbranched polyesters (LHBPx, x = 1, 2, 3) with varying lengths of branched chains were synthesized through a thiol-ene click reaction. Subsequently, LHBPx was incorporated into PA4 via the solution method to prepare a LHBPx/PA4 polymer blend, aiming to address the limitations of PA4, such as its narrow thermal processing window (△T = Td5−Tm) and high brittleness. The results demonstrated that the addition of LHBPx enhanced the △T of PA4 from 1.6 °C to 14.5 °C (LHBP3/PA4), increasing the rheological properties of LHBPx/PA4 polymer blends, thereby improving its thermal processability. Compared with PA4, the elongation at the break of the LHBP3/PA4 polymer blend was increased by 20.4%, and the brittle fracture was changed into a ductile fracture. The crystallinity of PA4 was greatly decreased, from 54.41% to 37.42%, owing to the incorporation of LHBPx, whereas Tmof PA4 had almost no change. It was explained that LHBPx hindered the crystal growth stage, whereas it promoted the nucleation stage of PA4, resulting in no significant change in crystal type. Moreover, the longer the branched chain of LHBPx was, the more pronounced the improvement in the thermal processability and toughness of PA4 became. Above all, this work was meaningful for the potential application of PA4 in industrial plastics.

A series of ether-functionalized paramagnetic ionic liquids, 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-3-alkylimidazolium tetra thiocyanate cobalt [C n 2O1IM] 2 [Co(NCS) 4 ] ( n = 1, 2, 3), was synthesized and characterized. The density, surface tension, refractive index, and electrical conductivity of these ionic liquids were measured at 293.15 to 343.15 K at intervals of 5 K, and their thermal expansion coefficients α were calculated. The molecular volume was obtained by measuring the pore volume and porosity. Based on Glasser theory, the standard entropy S 0 (298 K), lattice energy U POT , surface entropy S a , and surface enthalpy, H of the ionic liquids were calculated, and the reason why the ionic liquid is in a molten state at room temperature was explained from the perspective of lattice energy. The molar surface Gibbs energy was introduced to improve the traditional Eötvös equation, which was combined with the refractive index to estimate the surface tension, obtaining a fitting index exceeding 0.99. Finally, the relationship between the electrical conductivity of the ionic liquids and temperature was investigated, and the activation energy, molar electrical conductivity, and electrical conductivity diffusion coefficient of the ionic liquids were obtained. The relationship between their properties was summarized. Compared with previously reported ionic liquids using 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium as a cation, this type of ionic liquid has higher density and a smaller coefficient of thermal expansion.

Copper (Cu)-based materials attract considerable attentions to replace noble-metal based catalysts in the aqueous reduction of highly toxic 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). However, the reported catalysts generally owned well-defined shapes and structures that commonly rely on special synthesis condition. In contrast, the randomly dispersed and sintered Cu-based counterparts were neglected. Herein, irregular and coalesced Cu catalyst was fabricated and evaluated in 4-NP reduction. The as-synthesized CuBNC800 catalyst performed best among all the prepared materials, and the aggregated Cu nanoparticles was identified as the active centers. It showed that the pre-adsorption of 4-NP played positive role in the reaction. The reaction could be completed within 12 min at 25 °C over CuBNC800 without any treatment, while the elimination of the dissolved oxygen in solution significantly reduced the reaction time to only about 2 min. Moreover, full conversion of 4-NP was even realized within 30 min when the reaction temperature reduced to only 6 °C. Different from previously reported first order reaction kinetics over Cu-based catalysts, zero order reaction kinetics was recognized over CuBNC800 in this work, which could be attributed to the limited exposed active centers.

Previous data established 4′-deoxyflavone glycosides (4′-DFGs) as important pharmaceutical components in the roots of rare medical plants like Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Extracting these compounds from plants involves land occupation and is environmentally unfriendly. Therefore, a modular (“plug-and-play”) yeast-consortium platform is developed to synthesize diverse 4′-DFGs de novo. By codon-optimizing glycosyltransferase genes from different organisms for Pichia pastoris , six site-specific glycosylation chassis are generated to be capable of biosynthesizing 18 different 4′-DFGs. Cellular factories showed increased 4′-DFG production (up to 18.6-fold) due to strengthened synthesis of UDP-sugar precursors and blocked hydrolysis of endogenous glycosides. Co-culturing upstream flavone-synthesis-module cells with downstream glycoside-transformation-module cells alleviated the toxicity of 4′-deoxyflavones and enabled high-level de novo synthesis of 4′-DFGs. Baicalin is produced at the highest level (1290.0 mg L −1 ) in a bioreactor by controlling the consortium through carbon-source shifting. These results provide a valuable reference for biosynthesizing plant-derived 4′-DFGs and other glycosides with potential therapeutic applications.

4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), a hazardous chemical compound, presents significant risks to ecological balance, public well-being, and the integrity of the food supply chain. Consequently, the development of detection techniques characterized by both efficiency and precision is of utmost importance. In the present work, ZnCo(OH)F/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite was synthesized through a hydrothermal approach, followed by a high-temperature annealing process to transform them into ZnCo 2 O 4 /MWCNTs tailored for electrochemical sensing of 4-NP. The integration of MWCNTs during the fabrication process induced a pronounced synergistic interaction between ZnCo 2 O 4 and MWCNTs, leading to a substantial enhancement in the electrochemical performance of the composite. The ZnCo 2 O 4 /MWCNTs-based sensors exhibit notable benefits, including an expanded electrochemically active surface area, superior electrical conductivity, and exceptional selectivity. Under optimized experimental parameters (S/N = 3), the sensor exhibited a broad linear detection range (0.5–600 μM), coupled with a lower limit of detection of 0.026 μM. When used on real samples, the sensor showed recovery rates of 98.79 %–100.47 %, indicating its feasibility for practical use in environmental monitoring and food safety evaluation.

Open-shell organic radicals, characterized by their unique spin states, typically exhibit exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency. However, the development of open-shell organic radical materials with stability and high photothermal properties remains a challenge. Among these radicals, the stable and commercialized 4-OH-TEMPO radical molecule has garnered considerable attention in various organic synthesis reactions owing to its unique redox advantages, but it shows less application comparing with the other open-shell organic radicals in photo-thermal conversion. In this study, 4-OH-TEMPO exhibits favorable photothermal properties upon combination with Cu 2 + , thus it is capable of enhancing the reaction rate of HMF oxidation to DFF by a factor of 10 under LED (400 nm). Under illumination of LED, leading to the complete conversion of HMF and the generation of DFF with a yield of 99.7 % within 30 min. Mechanism study shows that the photothermal effect facilitates the kinetic process of the reaction, and accelerated conversion of 4-OH-TEMPO to the oxidatively active species 4-OH-TEMPO + under light-induced action further increased the reaction rate. This research proffers novel insights and references for 4-OH-TEMPO mediated organic synthesis reactions and the design of free-radical photothermal materials.
