In this study, a novel material, Z-2, 3-bis(4-(thiophen-3-yl)-phenyl) –acrylonitrile (Z-TPA), was synthesized and characterized. Optical and electrochromic properties of its homopolymer and copolymer with 3, 4-Ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) were investigated in details. UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectra showed that this material possessed the properties of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) due to the introduction of acrylonitrile, which could show sky-blue emitting at the aggregation state and almost no emitting at the solution state. Both its polymer and copolymer displayed better redox activity. Spectroelectrochemical analysis displayed that the copolymer film exhibited multicolor showing, with a claret red in the fully reduced form and a blue-green color in the fully oxidized. Spectrochronoamperometry data revealed that the copolymer films had fast switching time and high chromatic contrast as compared to the homopolymer P(Z-TPA). What's more, the copolymer film was used to construct a dual type polymer electrochromic device (ECDs) with PEDOT. The performance of ECDs were also investigated.

Pd@MIL-100(Fe) composite nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), powder X-ray diffraction analysis, nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and element mapping. Due to the local restriction or confinement effect of the unique pore/surface structure within the MIL-100(Fe) nanospheres , small Pd nanoparticle (4–6 nm) were obtained with high stability without using any surfactant as stabilizer . The as-synthesized Pd@MIL-100(Fe) composite nanoparticles were then employed for the catalytic reduction of 2/3/4-nitrophenol, which exhibiting high catalytic activity and recyclability attributed to the synergistic effect between Pd nanoparticles and MIL-100(Fe) nanospheres.

In the previous research, our group designed and synthesized 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1 H -pyrido-[4,3-b] indoles, which showed high anti-tumor activity. In this study, a series of novel 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1 H -pyrido-[4,3-b] indole derivatives were designed by introducing an alkyl or aralkyl and a sulfonyl group, which are considered as the pharmacophores of some antitumor drugs based on the combination principles, and synthesized. The antiproliferative activity of all the target compounds were evaluated against Hela, A549, HepG2, and MCF-7 cell lines using the MTT assay in vitro. The results were represented by IC 50 values. All compounds showed moderate to excellent antiproliferative activity with IC 50 values between 0 μM and 100 μM against cancer cells. The proliferations of Hela, A549, HepG2, and MCF-7 cell lines were inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, and the cytolytic activity was markedly inhibited at the same time. The IC 50 values of intermediate 3 inhibited against Hela, A549, HepG2, and MCF-7 cell lines were 52.75, 50.30, 60.31, and 54.39 μM, respectively, which were higher than the new compounds that we expected. The compounds 4a – 4d bearing sulfonyl, substituted by electron donating group, showed moderate to significant antiproliferative activity, in which compound 4c was the best with the IC 50 values of 13.71, 9.42, 15.06, and 14.77 μM, and these results suggested that the introduction of sulfonyl could increase the antiproliferative activity of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1 H -pyrido-[4,3-b]indole. Compounds 4e – 4g bearing alkyl, phenyl, and arylated alkyl produced good antiproliferative activity and the IC 50 value of 4 g was lower than 30 μM. The target compounds were more potent against A549 compared to the other three cell lines. Molecular docking studies revealed the binding orientations of all the synthesized compounds in the active site of c-Met. Moreover, molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to evaluate the binding stabilities between the synthesized compounds and their receptors.

Abnormal tryptophan metabolism is closely linked with neurological disorders. Research has shown that indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1), the first rate-limiting enzyme in tryptophan degradation, is upregulated in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the precise role of IDO-1 in PD pathogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we administered 1-methyl-tryptophan (1-MT), an IDO-1 inhibitor, intraperitoneally at 15 mg/kg daily for 21 days to PD mice induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) at 30 mg/kg daily for 5 days. Our results show that IDO-1 inhibition improves behavioral performance, reduces dopaminergic neuron loss, and decreases serum quinolinic acid (QA) content and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) expression in the striatum and colon. It also alleviates glial-associated neuroinflammation and mitigates colonic inflammation (decreasing iNOS, COX2) by suppressing the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-κB (TLR4/NF-κB) pathway. Furthermore, IDO-1 inhibition promotes hippocampal neurogenesis (increasing doublecortin positive (DCX + ) cells and SOX2 + cells), which have recently been recognized as key pathological features and potential therapeutic targets in PD, likely through the activation of the BDNF/TrkB pathway. We further explored the gut-brain connection by depleting the gut microbiota in mice using antibiotics. Notably, the neuroprotective effects of IDO-1 inhibition were completely abolished in pseudo-germ-free mice (administrated an antibiotic mixture orally for 14 days prior to 1-MT treatment), highlighting the dependency of 1-MT's neuroprotective effects on the presence of gut microbiota. Finally, we found IDO-1 inhibition corrects the abnormal elevation of fecal short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Collectively, these findings suggest that IDO-1 inhibition may represent a promising therapeutic approach for PD.

Glycidol, 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD), and 2-chloropropane-1,3-diol (2-MCPD), known as thermal processing contaminants, have been identified in heated tobacco product (HTP) aerosol, raising significant health concerns. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a quantitative analytical method for the release of them. In this study, ethyl acetate was used to extract the aerosol of HTP collected by Cambridge filter pad (CFP), the extract was derivatized with heptafluorobutyrylimidazole (HFBI), washed and dried before being analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The retention index and mass spectral characteristics of glycidol-HFBI derivative were characterized for the first time. The limits of quantification (LOQs) for glycidol, 3-MCPD and 2-MCPD were 58.32, 37.51 and 55.88 ng/cigarette respectively;the intra- and inter-day precision were less than 10% with recoveries ranging from 89% to 111%. The analysis results of eight domestic and foreign HTPs showed that: (1) The three target compounds were detected in all eight samples, indicating their widespread presence in HTP aerosol. (2) Significant variations in per-puff emission among samples suggested formulation and heating mode significantly impact glycidol and MCPDs release. (3) Glycidol and 3-MCPD were the major released substances, accounting for about 80% of the total three compounds emission. This study establishes a sensitive, reliable method for determining glycidol, 3-MCPD and 2-MCPD in HTP aerosol, providing critical technical support for health risk assessments.

Based on the performance of improving the stabilities and coloring efficiencies of triphenylamine polymers, this paper separately synthesized different diamines and 3,4-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid, and the electrochromic functions of the polymer films were studied on indium-tin oxide glass (ITO) glass. The polymers had a thiophene group, which was rich in π-electrons and conducive to molecular stability, and showed good stabilities. Ultraviolet spectrum showed that all the six polymers had a wide absorption band in the neutral range of 200–700 nm. Electrochromic analysis showed that the six kinds of polymer films all showed reasonable optical contrast, short response time and low band gap in the infrared spectrum range of 200–1000 nm. Among them, the film formed by PAD2 on ITO glass had better electrochromic properties, longer bleaching response time ( t c = 1.3 s, t b = 4.1 s), PAD3 had better coloration efficiency (214 cm 2 C −1 ).

The threshold voltage and mobility of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) are influenced not only by the dielectric constant of the insulating layer but also by the crystallinity at the interface between the semiconductor and the insulating layer. The crystallization of 2,9-didecyldinaphtho[2,3-b:2′,3′-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (C10-DNTT) is driven by molecular fastening effects from its long alkyl chains and π–π* stacking interactions. This work proposes a method utilizing the interaction of interfacial functional groups to create nucleation centers for C10-DNTT, thus reducing grain boundaries. We synthesized the homopolymer poly(4-(1,3-dithia-2thioxocyclopentyl) methacrylate) (P(TCMA)), which possesses side chains with high dipole moment thiocarbonate groups, and the copolymer poly(4-(1,3-dithia-2thioxocyclopentyl) methacrylate-co-10-([1,1’:4′,1″-terphenyl]-3-yloxy) decyl methacrylate) (P(TCMA-co-10TPOMA)), which contains decyloxytriphenyl groups in its side chains. The mobility of OTFT devices increased from 0.84 cm2 V–1 s–1 with cured P(TCMA) as the insulating layer to 2.97 cm2 V–1 s–1 with cured P(TCMA-co-10TPOMA)-5, reaching a maximum of 3.40 cm2 V–1 s–1 when P(TCMA-co-10TPOMA)-15 was used as the insulating layer, making it a promising candidate for direct application in drive units.

Concanavalin A (Con A), the first and most typical representative of the legume lectin family, has a potent anti‑liver cancer effect by inducing cell apoptosis and autophagy. However, its function in human liver cancer cell migration remains unclear. The present study investigated the effect of Con A on the viability and migration of human liver cancer cells with different metastatic abilities. It was found that Con A could reduce the viability of human liver cancer cells (HCCLM3, MHCC97L and HepG2) and human hepatocytes (MIHA). In addition, Con A could inhibit human liver cancer cell migration specifically without affecting hepatocytes. Sugar inhibition assay showed that glucose‑related sugar binding sites played an important role in the inhibition of Con A on human liver cancer cell migration. In addition, Con A could affect HCCLM3 migration by activating ERK1/2, JNK1/2/3 and p38 signaling in the MAPK pathway. Moreover, Con A could regulate fibrous actin (F‑actin) redistribution and assembly via the MAPK signaling pathway. However, Con A had no significant effect on the activation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‑2 and MMP‑9 in HCCLM3 cells. In conclusion, Con A may bind to glucose‑related receptor protein, activating ERK1/2, JNK1/2/3 and p38 signaling in the MAPK pathway, further contracting cells and reducing the content of F‑actin of single cells to inhibit HCCLM3 cell migration. These results would deepen the links between human liver cancer cell migration and related glycoproteins or signaling molecules, and may provide a new perspective for Con A as a potential anticancer agent.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a heterogeneous pathological process in lung tissues with a considerable mortality rate. Currently, combination therapy represents an effective approach to treat PF. Dexamethasone (Dxs) and berberine (BBR) are widely applied to inhibit the progression of PF. Dxs plus penehyclidine hydrochloride or alfacalcidol have been reported more effective in therapy compared with any single drug treatment. However, whether Dxs plus BBR induces an increased antifibrotic effect remains unknown. The current study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of BBR plus Dxs in bleomycin (BLM)‑induced PF. A PF model in rats was established and rats were divided into control, BLM, BBR, Dxs and BBR plus Dxs groups (n=9/group). On days 3, 7 and 14, blood samples were collected from the eyes of the rats (n=6/group). CXC chemokine ligand 14 (CXCL14), collagen I, collagen III, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2 and MMP9 serum levels were measured by ELISA. On day 14, all rats were sacrificed. Hematoxylin and eosin analysis, Masson staining and hydroxyproline (Hyp) assessment were performed to observe histopathological changes and collagen deposition. mRNA and protein levels of CXCL14, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), collagen I/III, α‑smooth muscle actin (α‑SMA), MMP2/9 and phosphorylated‑Smad 2/3 in lung tissue were further evaluated. Similar effects in preventing lung damage were observed histopathologically for Dxs and BBR compared with the BLM group. These treatments further reduced levels of Hyp, CXCL14, CXCR4, collagen I/III, MMP2/9, α‑SMA and p‑Smad 2/3. The combination of Dxs and BBR exhibited increased effectiveness compared with the single treatments. Results further suggested that antifibrotic mechanisms were involved in inhibiting CXCL14 and MMP2/MMP9 expression, and preventing the activation of Smad2/3 and hedgehog signaling pathways. The combined use of Dxs and BBR may represent a potential therapeutic approach for PF.

Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PMR) has been commonly used as a tonic in China for centuries. However, PMR-associated hepatotoxicity is becoming a safety issue. In our previous in vivo study, an interaction between stilbenes and anthraquinones has been discovered and a hypothesis is proposed that the interaction between stilbene glucoside-enriching fraction and emodin may contribute to the side effects of PMR. To further support our previous in vivo results in rats, the present in vitro study was designed to evaluate the effects of 2, 3, 5, 4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2- O-β -D-glucopyranoside (TSG) on the cellular absorption and human liver microsome metabolism of emodin. The obtained results indicated that the absorption of emodin in Caco-2 cells was enhanced and the metabolism of emodin in human liver microsomes was inhibited after TSG treatment. The effects of the transport inhibitors on the cellular emodin accumulation were also examined. Western blot assay suggested that the depressed metabolism of emodin could be attributed to the down-regulation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) 1A8, 1A10, and 2B7. These findings definitively demonstrated the existence of interaction between TSG and emodin, which provide a basis for a better understanding of the underlying mechanism for PMR-induced liver injury.

Filtration loss control under high-temperature conditions is a worldwide issue among water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). A core–shell high-temperature filter reducer (PAASM-CaCO3) that combines organic macromolecules with inorganic nanomaterials was developed by combining acrylamide (AM), 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), styrene (St), and maleic anhydride (MA) as monomers and nano-calcium carbonate (NCC). The molecular structure of PAASM-CaCO3was characterized. The average molecular weight of the organic part was 6.98 × 105and the thermal decomposition temperature was about 300 °C. PAASM-CaCO3had a better high-temperature resistance. The rheological properties and filtration performance of drilling fluids treated with PAASM-CaCO3were stable before and after aging at 200 °C/16 h, and the effect of filtration control was better than that of commonly used filter reducers. PAASM-CaCO3improved colloidal stability and mud cake quality at high temperatures.Keywords:filtration reducer;high temperature;water-based drilling fluid;nanomaterials;calcium carbonate
