Amadori compounds (ACs; N-(1-deoxy-d-fructos-1-yl)-amino acid) are superior flavor precursors and potential functional ingredients in food processing. In this study, vacuum dehydration as an excellent and universal method for the formation of ACs in both simulation systems and food processing was revealed. In total, 12 amino acids referring to all six categories were selected to conduct simulated reactions with glucose in aqueous models. At 90 °C, yields of 11 ACs were significantly increased by vacuum dehydration, reaching 4–198 times compared to a heat sealing reaction in aqueous systems, and formation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF) and browning were slower than that by a dry powder reaction. In particular, the yields of Fru-Arg, Fru-His, and Fru-Glu reached 87.03, 90.73, and 89.88 mol %, respectively. The order of promotion effect was acid ACs > basic ACs > unique ACs > polar neutral ACs > aliphatic ACs > aromatic ACs. The excellent effect was mainly attributed to the control of water activity (Aw) and pH, which enabled the models to reach the optimal reaction state quickly by adjusting the vacuum degree at mild temperatures. The method was also applied to AC enrichment in tomato sauce processing; the AC content could rise to 30.72 mg/g, which was more than 17 times than those in samples without vacuum dehydration and two commercial tomato sauces.

Graphene-based materials are cathodes of Al-ion batteries and have attracted the attention of researchers worldwide. However, reasons for self-discharge in Al/graphene batteries have not been studied in depth. In the present work, a pseudo-capacitive reaction is proposed to be a probable cause of the self-discharge. Quantitative analysis of the capacitance process and diffusion-control process is critical for the pseudo-capacitive behavior in Al/graphene batteries. Two self-supported graphene cathodes (R h -GOP and R n -GOP) were successfully produced from graphene oxides (GO) reduced with hydriodic acid and hydrazine vapor, respectively. R h -GOP and R n -GOP cathodes enabled the delivery of considerably high specific capacities of 81.5 mAh g -1 and 92.8 mAh g -1 , at the current density of 2 A g -1 . In addition, the activation processes of both materials were observed during 200 cycles of the charge-discharge process. From a quantitative perspective, the ratios of faradaic pseudo-capacitance to the total capacity of the R h -GOP and R n -GOP cathode were 48.6% and 38.5%, respectively, at a scanning rate of 5.0 mV s -1 . It is found that the proportion of faradaic pseudo-capacitance will increase as cyclic voltammetry scanning increases, which indicates the existence of pseudo-capacitance being the reason why it an Al/graphene battery has to be charged-discharged at high current densities to maintain normal operation.

Foodborne pathogens are the main factors causing food poisoning, and it is of great significance to develop novel nanocomposites to obtain efficient and stable photothermal-assisted photocatalysts for killing foodborne pathogens. In this paper, Z-type heterojunction WO 3 /TpPa-1 with a core-shell structure was constructed by in-situ synthesis, and the Nb 2 CT x was used as a co-catalyst to obtain an efficient ternary composite WO 3 /TpPa-1/N-Nb 2 CT x . Compared to the monomers, the ternary composites improved light trapping, interfacial separation effectiveness, and the mobility of photogenerated carriers. The WO 3 /TpPa-1/15% N-Nb 2 CT x has the best sterilization efficiency of 99.69% under visible-infrared light irradiation for 30 min. The construction of WO 3 /TpPa-1/N-Nb 2 CT x promoted the separation of electron and hole pairs, which improved the electron transport efficiency and the generation of reactive oxygen species. In addition, the excellent photothermal effect of Nb 2 CT x improves the sterilization performance of WO 3 /TpPa-1/N-Nb 2 CT x . The WO 3 /TpPa-1/N-Nb 2 CT x has a broad application prospect in photothermal-assisted photocatalytic sterilization.

A novel asymmetrical gemini ionic liquid, 1-(3-(trimethylammonio)prop-1-yl)-3-methylimidazolium bis(dicyanamide) ([N 111 C 3 MIM][N(CN) 2 ] 2 ), was synthesized and characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR. Thermal stability of [N 111 C 3 MIM][N(CN) 2 ] 2 was investigated through thermogravimetric analysis under pure nitrogen atmosphere. Heat capacity of pure [N 111 C 3 MIM][N(CN) 2 ] 2 was measured using differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range 298.15–423.15 K and enthalpy H T -H 298.15K , and entropy S T -S 298.15K were obtained. Densities and viscosities were measured for the binary system of [N 111 C 3 MIM][N(CN) 2 ] 2 and isopropanol (IPA) over the entire range of mole fractions at various temperatures from 283.15 to 333.15 K under the pressure of 0.101 MPa. Moreover, the excess molar volumes ( V m E ) and the viscosity deviations (Δ η ) for the binary mixtures were determined and well fitted to the Redlich−Kister polynomials. The negative values of V m E and Δ η result from strong self-association and weak hydrogen bonding interaction between the molecules of [N 111 C 3 MIM][N(CN) 2 ] 2 and IPA. Excess Gibbs energy of activation (Δ G *E ) of viscous flow for the present binary mixtures were also calculated. Results have been discussed in terms of molecular interactions and structures.

Novel composite of immobilized layered K 2x Mn x Sn 3−x S 6 (x = 0.5–0.95) (KMS-1) on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (r-GO), KMS-1/r-GO (KGO), has been fabricated by employing hydrothermal technique and used for the removal of radioactive Cs + and Sr 2+ ions from aqueous solutions. The KGO was characterized thoroughly with different characteristic techniques and found that the laminar KMS-1 nanoplate were immobilized on the surface of r-GO nanosheets, forming a highly porous stacked structure. Batch studies have been done for obtaining optimal experimental parameters and investigating the effect of adsorption time, initial concentration of pollutant, pH of solution, temperature, and competing anions on the removal properties. At room temperature, the maximum adsorption capacity of KGO was 338.18 mg·g −1 and 220.12 mg·g −1 for both Cs + and Sr 2+ , respectively. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were fitted well with experimental data of removed Cs + and Sr 2+ . Adsorption showed good selectivity of composite towards Cs + and Sr 2+ in the presence of co-existing ions (Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ). The proposed adsorption mechanism involved ion exchange through the presence of K + ions in KMS-1 and formation of surface ionic interactions between r-GO and ions through COO X or S X (X denoted Cs + and Sr 2+ ). This study highlighted the facile applicability of novel material KGO and could be used as a new adsorbent for the removal of radioactive ions.

Glucagon‑like peptide‑1 (GLP‑1) is a gut incretin hormone that is considered to be a promising target for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of GLP‑1 on diabetic nephropathy are yet to be fully elucidated. Sirtuin (SIRT)1 encodes a member of the SIRT family of proteins that serves an important role in mitochondrial function and is reported to be associated with the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease. The present study treated mouse podocytes with various concentrations of D‑glucose to establish a high glucose (HG)‑induced model of renal injury. The results of a 2',7'‑dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate assay, Annexin V/propidium iodide staining and ELISA demonstrated that treatment of podocytes with HG significantly enhanced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), promoted cell apoptosis and increased the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, respectively. The cytokines increased following HG treatment included tumor necrosis factor‑α, interleukin (IL)‑1β and IL‑6. Notably, treatment with GLP‑1 attenuated HG‑induced increases in ROS production and podocyte apoptosis, which may occur via downregulation of the expression of caspase‑3 and caspase‑9, and increased expression of nephrin, podocin and SIRT1, as determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. Treatment with GLP‑1 led to protective effects in podocytes that were similar to those of resveratrol. Furthermore, SIRT1 knockdown using short hairpin RNA significantly enhanced the expression of caspase‑3 and caspase‑9 in mouse podocytes, compared with normal mouse podocytes. SIRT1 knockdown with or without GLP‑1 administration significantly decreased the expression of caspase‑3 and caspase‑9 in mouse podocytes, compared with SIRT1 knockdown mouse podocytes. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that GLP‑1 may be a promising target for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for HG‑induced nephropathy, and may function through the activation of SIRT1.

A specific, sensitive, rapid, precise, and reliable UPLC–MS/MS-based method was designed for the first time for the simultaneous determination of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) and N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (N-CH 3 -DNJ) in rat plasma. Miglitol was served as the internal standard (IS). An MN-NUCLEODUR HILIC column was assessed to separate the two compounds by isocratic elution using acetonitrile : water with 0.05% formic acid and 6.5 mM ammonium acetate (72:28, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was operated in the positive ionization mode using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), and it was employed to determine transitions of m / z 164.1 → 110.1, 178.1 → 100.1, and 208.1 → 146.1 for DNJ, N-CH 3 -DNJ, and IS, respectively. The method of the two constituents was validated and the results were acceptable. The absolute bioavailability of DNJ and N-CH 3 -DNJ in rats was 50 ± 9% and 62 ± 24%, respectively. The method was then successfully used for the first time to study the pharmacokinetic behavior and absolute bioavailability of DNJ and N-CH 3 -DNJ in rats after intravenous (10 mg/kg) and oral administration (80 mg/kg). The results of this study might provide more information on preclinical pharmacokinetics and a solid basis for assessing the clinical efficacy of DNJ and N-CH 3 -DNJ.

To analyze 1-methyladenosine (m1A) and 1-methylinosine (m1I) in urine samples obtained from patients with breast cancer and healthy people, we used magnetic dispersive solid-phase micro-extraction (MDSPME) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography. The structure and morphology of magnetic nanoparticles, Fe 3 O 4 @GO, were investigated by FT-IR, XRD, TEM, and TGA. m1A and m1I in urine samples were enriched by the solid phase micro-extraction technology of Fe 3 O 4 @GO. Several parameters affecting the extraction efficiency, including adsorption time, pH, ionic strength, mass of adsorbent, extraction time, eluent solvent, elution time, and elution temperature, were researched and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the corresponding linearity range of the two analytes showed a good linearity ( r 2 > 0.9998) and significant addition recoveries ranging from 88.50 to 109.38%, while the limit of detection was between 0.10 and 0.11 ng/mL. The enrichment factors of m1A and m1I were 108 and 134, respectively. The method was simple, sensitive, and reliable for the detection and purification with good detection limit, and it was suitable for the detection of m1A and m1I in urine samples. In addition, the analysis of modified nucleosides is of great value for the early diagnosis of patients with breast cancer.

High-temperature industries, as the primary consumers of energy, are greatly concerned with energy savings. Designing refractory linings with low thermal conductivity to reduce heat dissipation through high-temperature furnace linings is a critical concern. In this study, a series of novel entropy-stabilized spinel materials are reported, and their potential applications in high-temperature industries are investigated. XRD and TEM results indicate that all materials possess a cubic spinel crystal structure with the \(Fd\overline{3} m\) space group. Furthermore, these materials exhibit good phase stability at high temperatures. All entropy-stabilized spinel aggregates demonstrated high refractoriness (> 1800 °C) and a high load softening temperature (> 1700 °C). The impact of configurational entropy on the properties of entropy-stabilized spinel materials was also studied. As configurational entropy increased, the thermal conductivity of the entropy-stabilized spinel decreased, while slag corrosion resistance deteriorated. For the entropy-stabilized spinel with a configurational entropy value of 1.126 R , it showed good high-temperature stability, reliable resistance to slag attack, and a low thermal conductivity of 2.776 W·m −1 ·K −1 at 1000 °C.

Four hydroxyfluorooxoborates, α-K2[B3O3F4(OH)] (I), β-K2[B3O3F4(OH)] (II), Cs(NH4)3[B3O3F4(OH)]2 (III), and RbCs5[B3O3F4(OH)]3 (IV), with identical fundamental building block (FBB) [B3O3F4(OH)]2–, were obtained successfully and characterized comprehensively. A phase transition between I and II was detected, which led to a space group evolution from centrosymmetric to noncentrosymmetric. The F– and OH– substitution effect was studied based on II and its hydroxyborate derivative K2[B3O3(OH)5], which reveals the corresponding changes in the band gap and the nonlinear optical properties. In addition, the cationic-size effect on the arrangement of the [B3O3F4(OH)]2– FBBs and the birefringent properties were discussed for the title compounds. This study contributes to the advancement of structural chemistry and sheds some light on the structure–property relationship studies of hydroxyfluorooxoborates.

Analyzing the role of herbivore-induced volatiles in plant–herbivore–natural enemy interactions is crucial for developing integrated pest management strategies. This study identified 1-octen-3-ol and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol as the primary C8 volatiles induced by Megalurothrips usitatus infestation in cowpea flowers. The concurrent accumulation of glycosides of these volatiles, along with the upregulation of LOX and HPL expression, suggested that the increased emissions of 1-octen-3-ol and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol result from enhanced de novo biosynthesis regulated by herbivore-induced jasmonate. 1-Octen-3-ol exhibited strong repellent effects against M. usitatus and attracted its natural enemy, Orius similis, at low concentrations. By contrast, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol repelled M. usitatus but did not exert a significant attractant effect on O. similis. These volatiles prime the defense mechanism in cowpea plants against M. usitatus, which highlight their promising role in controlling thirp populations and enhancing cowpea cultivation.

Despite the importance of nucleosides and nucleotides for drug discovery, only a few practical methods to prepare tricyclic nucleosides have been reported. Here, we describe a synthetic strategy for late-stage functionalization of nucleosides and nucleotides via chemo- and site-selective acid-promoted intermolecular cyclization. The nucleoside analogs with an additional ring were obtained in moderate-to-high yields, including some antiviral drugs (acyclovir, ganciclovir, and penciclovir) derivatives, endogenous fused ring nucleoside (M 1 dG) and its derivatives, and nucleotide derivatives. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
