Inflammatory pain is a chronic pain caused by peripheral tissue inflammation, seriously impacting the patient’s life quality. Cinobufacini injection, as a traditional Chinese medicine injection preparation, shows excellent efficacy in anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment in patients with advanced tumors. In this study, a novel analgesic peptide CI5 with anti-inflammatory and analgesic bio-functions that naturally presents in Cinobufacini injection and its regulatory mechanism are reported. Our results showed that the administration of CI5 significantly relieved the pain of mice in the acetic acid twisting analgesic model and formalin inflammatory pain model. Furthermore, CI5 effectively reduced the inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β) and inflammatory mediator (PGE2) expressions, and prevented the carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice. Further LC-MS/MS results showed the anti-inflammatory and analgesic bio-functions of CI5 depended on its interaction with the Rac-2 protein upstream of ERK1/2 and the inflammatory signaling pathway (ERK1/2/COX-2 axis). In summary, CI5, as a novel natural candidate identified from Cinobufacini injection, showed substantial clinical promise for inflammatory pain treatments.

2′-Deoxy-2′-β-fluoro-4′-azidocytidine (FNC), a cytidine analog, has attracted great interest because of its potent activity against wild-type and multidrug-resistant HIV. The purpose of current study was to investigate the absorption mechanisms of FNC in the small intestine, as well as the interactions between FNC and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). The experiments were performed using Caco-2 cells and the rat small intestine. The uptake experiment indicated that FNC concentration, extracellular pH and the incubated temperature could influence the uptake of FNC in Caco-2 cells. NaN 3 , verapamil , probenecid , MK571 and GF120918 could significantly increase the FNC uptake in Caco-2 cells. The transport experiment showed that both the absorption and secretion of FNC were concentration dependent. The secretion of FNC was approximately 2-fold greater than the absorption. In the presence of verapamil, probenecid, MK571 or GF120918, the efflux ratio decreased by > 50%. In everted rat intestine, the absorption of FNC also depended on its concentration and was not significantly different in the different segments of the small intestine. Real-time RT-PCR results indicated that the gene expressions of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP were up-regulated after exposure to FNC. The reduction in accumulation of rhodamine 123 after treatment with FNC revealed its ability to up-regulate P-gp activity. In conclusion, FNC was completely absorbed by passive diffusion and active transport mechanisms. P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP could influence the absorption of FNC in the small intestine. FNC could modulate the gene expressions of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP, and increase the activity of P-gp.

Mo-modified V 2 O 5 /TiO 2 catalysts were prepared by wetness impregnation method and investigated for the selective oxidation of 2-methylnaphthalene to 2-naphthaldehyde. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, XPS, and Raman to investigate the promotional effect of Mo on catalyst structure, surface property, and catalytic performance. The introduction of molybdenum decreases the amount of KVO 3 phase and enhances the dispersion of the vanadium phase. XPS and Raman results indicate that Mo prevents Sn and K to interact with V species and bonds with Ti or V through bridge oxygen. V1Mo1 sample demonstrates a remarkable improvement in conversion and selectivity compared with others.

A novel extractant, 2-ethylhexyl Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphinate (EHBEHP, abbreviated as B), was synthesized for the extraction of Cerium(IV) (Ce(IV)) and fluorine (F(I)) from nitric acid (HNO 3 ) media. The effects of HNO 3 concentration, extractant concentration, F(I) concentration and the temperature on the Ce(IV) and F(I) extraction were studied and discussed. The experimental results show that EHBEHP has a strong ability to extract Ce(IV), while the presence of F(I) decreases the extraction ability of Ce(IV). The extraction process had nothing to do within the studied temperature range. The extraction of HNO 3 , Ce(IV) and Ce(IV)-F(I) were studied respectively, and the extracted complexes were found to be 2HNO 3 ·EHBEHP, Ce(NO 3 ) 4 ·2EHBEHP and Ce(HF)(NO 3 ) 4 ·EHBEHP, individually. The extraction mechanisms were determined according to slope analysis method. Saturation loading capacity of Ce(IV) and F(I) extracted by 0.867 mol/L EHBEHP in HNO 3 system was about 50.98 g/L and 5.67 g/L, respectively. The stripping experiment shows that 95.3% of stripping efficiency of Ce(IV) can be obtained with 2.4% H 2 O 2 . The FT-IR of extracted complexes were measured and characterized. EHBEHP shows higher extraction ability and saturation loading capacity compared with DEHEHP.

In this work, we develop a novel 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN)-based acidic sulfate copper electronic electroplating process for compact, homogeneous and conformal copper thickening of through hole (TH). The adsorption characteristics, electrochemical properties and the interaction mechanisms of three additives (PEG, SPS and PAN) are studied in detail. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical microscope (OM) reveal that PAN can make the copper coating in fine grains and high throwing power of 90.35% in TH without an overhang phenomenon. Theoretical calculations illustrate that the binding energies between additive molecules and copper surface decrease in the order: PAN > SPS > PEG . Cyclic voltammetry experiments at rotating rates of 1200 and 200 r/min prove that PAN itself can accelerate and weakly suppress copper electrodeposition at the center and mouth of TH, respectively. PAN behaves respectively the synergistic and antagonistic effects with PEG at the mouth and center of TH, and the weakly synergistic effects with SPS both at the mouth and center of TH. The addition of PAN to the virgin make-up solution (VMS) containing PEG and SPS causes decreasing the relative electric charge (Δ Q ) at high and low rotating rates from 18.52 ± 0.08% to 8.25 ± 0.05%, which satisfies the closer copper electronic electroplating rate at the center and mouth of TH. The effective and complicated synergistic effects of the additives PEG, SPS and PAN can achieve compact, homogeneous and conformal copper thickening of TH.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus characterized by cardiac dysfunction and myocardial remodeling. Farrerol (FA), an active ingredient in Rhododendron with various pharmacological activities, has an unclear specific role in DCM. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of FA on DCM rats and elucidate its mechanism. The type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model was induced in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats by administering a high-fat diet for 8 weeks along with STZ injection. Subsequent to successful modeling, FA and the positive drug Dapagliflozin (Dapa) were orally administered via gavage for an additional 8-week period. After administration, the rats’ body weight, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, and blood lipid profiles were quantified. Cardiac function was assessed through evaluation of cardiac function parameters, histopathological examination and measurement of myocardial enzyme markers were conducted to assess myocardial injury and fibrosis, Oil red O staining was utilized to evaluate myocardial lipid accumulation, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining was used for assessing cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and Western blot analysis was used to detect the proteins expression level of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. The rat cardiomyocyte H9c2 were induced with palmitic acid to establish an in vitro cell model of myocardial lipid toxicity. Subsequently, the cells were subjected to treatment with FA and AMPK inhibitor Compound C, followed by assessment of lipid formation and expression levels of proteins related to the AMPK signaling pathway. The findings demonstrated that both FA and Dapa exhibited efficacy in ameliorating diabetic symptoms, cardiac dysfunction, myocardial fibrosis, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and lipid accumulation in T2DM rats. Additionally, they were found to enhance AMPK phosphorylation and PPARα expression while down-regulating CD36. Similarly, FA was observed to inhibit lipid formation in H9c2 and activate the AMPK signaling pathway. However, the improved effect of FA on lipotoxic cardiomyocytes induced by palmitic acid was partially reversed by Compound C. Therefore, the activation of the AMPK signaling pathway by FA may enhance cardiac lipid metabolism, thereby improving cardiac dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis in DCM rats.

4-Hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones exhibit multiple biological activities, and studying their synthetic methods is of great significance. In the presence of tetramethylguanidine and silver nitrate, 4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones were efficiently synthesized from 2-ethynylanilines and carbon dioxide under atmospheric pressure. The reaction conditions, such as types of silver catalysts and reaction solvents, were optimized, and the applicability of the substrate was preliminarily investigated. This method provides an alternative pathway for the synthesis of 4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones and the conversion and utilization of carbon dioxide.

A series of the copolymer, poly(styrene-random-glycidyl methacrylate) (P(St-r-GMA)), is synthesized by free radical polymerization, and characterized by 1 H NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The various substrates are then modified by P(St-r-GMA) under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Subsequently, the poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMOXA) based coatings are prepared by anchoring amino-terminated PMOXA onto the P(St-r-GMA) modified surfaces through the reaction between the amino group of PMOXA and epoxy group of P(St-r-GMA). The results of ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and water contact angle reveal that PMOXA-based coatings can be prepared successfully on the substrates through UV-crosslinked P(St-r-GMA) as anchoring coatings. Besides, the PMOXA-based coatings display not only a superior antifouling property but long-term stability as well. Furthermore, the location of the coating formed on the substrate can be well controlled through selecting the site of UV irradiation, which can be utilized for the selectivity of protein adsorption (or resistance) on special devices.

ABSTRACT Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are one of the most potential candidates for large-scale energy storage due to the low cost and eco-friendliness, however, a stable and reversible anode is urgently developed. In this work, a novel 2 × 2 tunnel-structured K 1.28 Ti 8 O 16 @N-doped carbon nanofibers (KTO@N CNFs) anode is successfully synthesized via simple electrospinning and subsequent thermal treatment with urea acted as the additional convenient nitrogen source. In-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement confirms the intercalation reaction mechanism and robust structure during Na + insertion/extraction. This composite material exhibits a reversible capacity of 116.4 mAh g − 1 at a current density of 100 mA g − 1 after 1000 cycles. More impressively, even at a high current density of 1 A g − 1 , the battery delivers capacity retention of 98.4 mAh g − 1 after 5000 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to the adequate 2 × 2 tunnel structure and the nano-confinement of N-doped nanofibers on K 1.28 Ti 8 O 16 nanocrystals, which offers enough diffusion paths and enhance the ionic diffusion of sodium ions. This work provides a facile strategy to synthesis stable, reversible, and long-cycle anode for sodium-ion batteries.

Three complexes of (CH3)4N+·(C15H15O2)2H-·H2O (1), (CH3)4N+·C15H15O2-·H2O (2), and 2(C2H5)4N+·2C15H15O2-·C15H16O2·3H2O (3) have been prepared under the similar conditions by using 2, 2’-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane as the host and tetraalkylammonium as the guest. Then, the complexes were characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The results show that 1 and 2 are two polymorphs, and in complex 3, only the magnitude of the template is different from the former two complexes. Although, the hydrogen bonding of three compounds are all related to the traditional O-H…O hydrogen bonds between the phenolic hydroxyl groups and water molecules, they eventually form various channel frameworks with different shape of cavities, such as the peanut-like channels in complex 1, the cross-shape in complex 2, and varied hexagonal-shape and tetragonal-shape cavities in complex 3. And the corresponding guest cations are contained in these channels to build the related stable crystal structures. Obviously, 2,2’-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, as a more flexible “V” type host molecule with terminal hydroxyl groups, can interact with tetraalkylammonium template and the auxiliary water molecules to construct different host lattices, showing excellent ability of forming hydrogen bonds.

The inhibition effect of 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), a newly synthesized benzothiazole derivative, on mild steel in 1 M HCl medium has been investigated by utilizing weight loss measurements, electrochemical methods and morphology characterization. The results indicate that HBT exhibited a superior corrosion inhibition efficiency, which reached approximately 95% with the addition of 0.07 mM HBT. Electrochemical tests illustrate that HBT is a mixed-type inhibitor. According to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the adsorption process complied with a physical-adsorption mechanism. Furthermore, computational calculations based on density functional theory reveal the relation between the electronic properties and the inhibition efficiency. In combination with the value of pKa , the protonic form of HBT in corrosive medium was predicted.
