A novel large-volume immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) on small column was prepared with organic–inorganic hybrid silica particles and applied for fast (10 min) and oriented digestion of protein. At first, a thin enzyme support layer was formed in the bottom of the small column by polymerization with α-methacrylic acid and dimethacrylate. After that, amino SiO 2 particles was prepared by the sol–gel method with tetraethoxysilane and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Subsequently, the amino SiO 2 particles were activated by glutaraldehyde for covalent immobilization of trypsin. Digestive capability of large-volume IMER for proteins was investigated by using bovine serum albumin (BSA), cytochrome c (Cyt- c ) as model proteins. Results showed that although the sequence coverage of the BSA (20%) and Cyt- c (19%) was low, the large-volume IMER could produce peptides with stable specific sequence at 101–105, 156–160, 205–209, 212–218, 229–232, 257–263 and 473–451 of the amino sequence of BSA when digesting 1 mg/mL BSA. Eight of common peptides were observed during each of the ten runs of large-volume IMER. Besides, the IMER could be easily regenerated by reactivating with GA and cross-linking with trypsin after breaking the –C N– bond by 0.01 M HCl. The sequence coverage of BSA from regenerated IMER increased to 25% comparing the non-regenerated IMER (17%). 14 common peptides. accounting for 87.5% of first use of IMER, were produced both with IMER and regenerated IMER. When the IMER was applied for ginkgo albumin digestion, the sequence coverage of two main proteins of ginkgo, ginnacin and legumin, was 56% and 55%, respectively. (Reviewer 2) Above all, the fast and selective digestion property of the large-volume IMER indicated that the regenerative IMER could be tentatively used for the production of potential bioactive peptides and the study of oriented protein digestion.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) generally suffers from low crystallization rate and long molding duration, which as a result limit its application as engineering plastics. To overcome these drawbacks, series of PET/layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites were prepared by a solution blending process. The effect of metal composition (MgAl and CaAl) and organo-modification (stearic acid intercalated) for LDH fillers on the crystallization behavior of the nanocomposites was investigated. It was revealed that, compared with PET/CaAl-LDH, the PET/MgAl-LDH nanocomposite exhibits a higher crystallization temperature and faster crystallization rate, which is associated with the superior nucleation ability of MgAl-LDH. The nucleation mechanism of PET induced by LDHs was explored by means of Avrami equation and theory of Hoffman-Lauritzen, pointing out that the incorporation of LDHs reduce the free energy of nucleation and the fold surface free energy of PET. In order to improve the compatibility between LDH and PET, stearic acid (SA) intercalated MgAl-LDH was prepared and filled into PET matrix. The resultant PET/MgAl-LDH-SA shows a further enhanced crystallization temperature and accelerated crystallization rate, in comparison with PET/MgAl-LDH nanocomposites. In addition, the thermal stability, gas barrier and mechanical properties of PET/LDH composites were improved upon incorporation of LDH fillers.

Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were prepared by reacting both Yak and Holstein casein with different ratios of glucose to casein from 0:1 to 2.5:1. The results showed that the content of intermediate products and browning intensity of the Yak casein-glucose system increased with increasing concentrations of glucose, but were lower than for the Holstein system at the same ratio. With glycosylation, the reducing power and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of both Yak and Holstein caseins were enhanced. With increased glucose content, the reducing power of Yak MRPs increased at the same concentration. The metal chelating activity of Holstein MRPs decreased or was eliminated in the ratio range of 0.5:1 to 2.0:1 g glucose g −1 casein, while that of Yak MRPs were reduced in general. Improvement of the inhibitory activity for Yak casein was lower than that of Holstein casein after glycosylation by glucose.

The uniformly dispersed and structured silica nanoparticles were prepared and functionalized by amino and 2-bromoisobutyrate successively. The random copolymer brushes of 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and 1′-(2-acryloxyethyl)-3′,3′-dimethyl-6-nitrospiro-(2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-indoline) (SPMA) were synthesized from 2-bromoisobutyrate-functionalized silica nanoparticles by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). FT-IR, TGA, XPS, TEM, and EDS verified the successful immobilization of initiator and grafting of the random copolymer. Subsequently, the triple responsive behaviors including thermo-, pH- and photo-sensitivities were investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS) as well as UV-Vis spectrometry. Furthermore, the active palladium was loaded into the hybrid silica nanoparticles and the catalytic performance was evaluated using a styrene hydrogenation reaction at different temperatures.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) of a small diameter were loaded with the anticancer drug temozolomide (TMZ), coated with polydopamine (PDA), and conjugated with Asn-Gly-Arg (NGR) for use in the treatment of glioma. The accumulation of NGR-MSNPs in C6 cells was shown to be higher than that of unmodified MSNPs. Anticancer drugs can cause autophagy in tumor cells, whereas autophagy inhibitors can block this reaction and enhance the therapeutic effect of the drugs. In this study, we demonstrated that MSNP-TMZ-PDA-NGR had stronger autophagy- and apoptosis-inducing effects in C6 cells than TMZ alone, and its anticancer effect was further enhanced when combined with autophagy inhibition. These results demonstrate that the combination of targeting vehicles and autophagy inhibitors may have research value in the treatment of gliomas.
