Optical manometry is a highly promising method for measuring pressure. However, its wider application is limited by the lower sensitivity and influenced by environmental factors. Herein, multi-mode optical pressure sensors based on Eu 2+ -doped Li 4 SrCa(SiO 4 ) 2 phosphors suitable for a variety of complex pressure-measuring environments are designed. The phosphors contain two separate luminescence centers at 443 nm (Eu Sr ) and 584 nm (Eu Ca ), respectively. In the lower pressure range, the emission peak undergoes a massive redshift of 5.19 nm GPa −1 of Eu Ca , which is 14× better than commercially available ruby sensors. In order to improve the pressure response range and the accuracy of pressure measurement, for the first time, a new approach in the pressure readout method in which single Eu 2+ ions doping based on fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) pressure measurement is realized in designed materials. Meanwhile, the measured full width at half maximum (FWHM) as an indicator of pressure sensor performance also reveals that the sensing performance is d FWHM /d P ≈ 1.23 nm GPa −1 and d FWHM /d P ≈ 0.84 nm GPa −1 for Eu Sr and Eu Ca positions, respectively. Additionally, the structural stability of the phosphor is confirmed by in situ Raman spectrum. The above results indicate that the Li 4 SrCa(SiO 4 ) 2 :0.04Eu 2+ phosphor is a good candidate for multi-mode optical pressure sensors.

Electrical energy storage devices (EES) play an important role in the development of portable electronic devices, power grids, and electric vehicles. Supercapacitors (SCs) become the focus of the EES field due to their high power density and high energy density. ZnCo 2 O 4 ternary metal oxides show considerable potential as electrodes for SCs. In this work, Ni(OH) 2 and PPy materials are combined on the surface of ZnCo 2 O 4 samples. The synthesized products possess a specific capacitance of 1256 C/g at 1 A/g and an energy density of 69 Wh/kg at 1350 W/kg. Moreover, the assembled device retains 81% of its capacity after being fully charged and discharged 10,000 times.

Retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common pathological process in many eye disorders. Oxidative stress and inflammation play a role in retinal I/R injury. Recent studies show that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is involved in initiating sterile inflammatory response in retinal I/R. However, the molecular mechanism by which TLR4 is activated is not known. In this study, we show that retinal I/R injury involves a co-receptor of TLR4, myeloid differentiation 2 (MD2). Inhibition of MD2 prevented cell death and preserved retinal function following retinal I/R injury. We confirmed these findings using MD2 knockout mice . Furthermore, we utilized human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19 cells) to show that oxidative stress-induced cell death as well as inflammatory response are mediated through MD2. Inhibition of MD2 through a chemical inhibitor or knockdown prevented oxidative stress-induced cell death and expression of inflammatory cytokines. Oxidative stress was found to activate TLR4 in a MD2-dependent manner via increasing the expression of high mobility group box 1. In summary, our study shows that oxidative stress in retinal I/R injury can activate TLR4 signaling via MD2, resulting in induction of inflammatory genes and retinal damage . MD2 may represent an attractive therapeutic target for retinal I/R injury.

Proteus mirabilis could convert l-phenylalanine into 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) via the Ehrlich pathway, the amino acid deaminase pathway, and the aromatic amino acid decarboxylase pathway. The aromatic amino acid decarboxylase pathway was proved for the first time in P. mirabilis. In this pathway, l-aromatic amino acid transferase demonstrated a unique catalytic property, transforming 2-penylethylamine into phenylacetaldehyde. Eleven enzymes were supposed to involve in 2-phenylethanol synthesis. The mRNA expression levels of 11 genes were assessed over time by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in vivo. As a result, the expression of 11 genes was significantly increased, suggesting that P. mirabilis could transform l-phenylalanine into 2-phenylethanol via three pathways under aerobic conditions; nine genes were significantly overexpressed, suggesting that P. mirabilis could synthesize 2-phenylethanol via the Ehrlich pathway under anaerobic conditions. This study reveals the multipath synthetic metabolism for 2-phenylethanol in P. mirabilis and will enrich the new ideas for natural (2-PE) synthesis.

Although artificial polymeric scaffolds act as vital characters in bone repair, their application is limited due to their inferior bioactivity. Herein, osteoinductive poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) composite scaffolds were prepared by synchronously enlisting bioactive nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), bioglass (BG), and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), which was bound up with polydopamine (pDA). It was found that pDA deposition not only significantly enhanced hydrophilicity and cell affinity of composite scaffolds but also endowed steady immobilization of BMP-2 with long-term yet sustained release. Compared to pure PCL and PCL/nHA/BG (PHB) scaffolds, the designed PHB-pDA-BMP-2 scaffolds significantly induced the differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells toward an osteogenic lineage. Meanwhile, in vivo examinations revealed the prominent osteogenic capability of PHB-pDA-BMP-2 scaffolds, which enabled complete bone healing of calvarial bone defects in rabbits by 12 weeks. This finding indicates that the developed porous composite scaffolds hold great potential for bone regeneration.

An effective method to prepare crosslinked polybenzimidazole (PBI) via [2 + 3] Huisgen cycloadditions has been proposed. Propargyl modified PBI (PBI-PG) has been synthesized firstly. In the presence of diazido crosslinkers, PBI-PG can be thermally crosslinked by [2 + 3] Huisgen cycloadditions. Evidences from 1 H NMR and ATR spectra imply a small amount of grafting alkenyl structures on PBI-PG. The grafting alkenyl structures provide another crosslinking mechanism named as alkyne-alkene crosslink. The alkyne-alkene crosslink is highly efficient under heat to form crosslinking networks which display toughness, low tensile strengths, and large swelling ratios in phosphoric acid (PA) solutions. Influences of rigidities and chain lengths of crosslinkers on performances of crosslinked PBIs have been investigated. PBIs crosslinked by rigid crosslinkers behave as brittle materials while that crosslinked by flexible crosslinkers behave as tough materials. Addition of crosslinkers leads to decreased gel fractions but improved tensile strengths, which is attributed to competition results of crosslinking and plasticizing effects. PBI-R2-20, which is crosslinked by a long rigid crosslinker, exhibits the highest tensile strength of 102.33 MPa, which is 66.34 MPa higher than that of PBI-PG. With even lower PA uptakes, PBIs crosslinked by rigid crosslinkers display more thermally stable and higher conductivities than that crosslinked by flexible crosslinkers. After doping in 12 mol/L PA solution, PBI-R2-20, with an acid uptake of 163 wt%, displays the highest tensile strength of 8.1 MPa and the most thermally stable and the highest conductivity which reaches a maximum of 2.30 × 10 −2 S cm −1 at 188 °C among all crosslinked membranes.

Graphical Coordination configuration matters : A Ru dimer, [Ru(NC NHC O)(pic) 2 ] 2 2+ ( 2 ), which transforms to two single-site Ru-OH 2 species to initiate water oxidation, was prepared and fully characterized. Complex 2 could catalyze water oxidation electrochemically, chemically and photochemically, exhibiting an excellent reactivity and stability. A dinuclear ruthenium complex [Ru II (NC NHC O)(pic) 2 ] 2 2+ ( 2 ) was firstly prepared and characterized spectroscopically and electrochemically. Instead of the conventional ligand exchange, complex 2 dissociates in situ to afford two single-site Ru aqua complexes, [Ru II (OH 2 )(NC NHC O)(pic) 2 ] + , which mediates water oxidation through proton-coupled electron transfer events. In electrokinetic studies, complex 2 demonstrated a TOF of 150.3 s −1 comparable to those state-of-the-art catalysts at neutral conditions. TONs of 2173 and 217 were attained in chemical and photochemical water oxidation when 2 was used as a catalyst, exhibiting good stability. Notably, a TOF of 1.3 s −1 was achieved at CAN-driven water oxidation, which outperformed most of the reported single-site Ru complexes, indicating that complex 2 is one of most active water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) to date. The unique coordination configuration and outstanding catalytic performance of complex 2 might shed light on the design of novel molecular WOCs.

The Ce-modified OMS-2 catalyst (Ce x -OMS-2) was synthesized by the hydrothermal synthesis method, after which its catalytic efficacy in the selective reduction of NO by CO was assessed. The experiments showed that Ce 0.08 -OMS-2 was capable of 100% NO conversion between 175 and 300 °C when 0.05%NO, 0.1%CO, 5%O 2 and N 2 were used as equilibrium gases, and the N 2 selectivity peaked at 93.2% at 175 °C. Additionally, Ce 0.08 -OMS-2 exhibits good sulfur resistance in the presence of 0.02% SO 2 and maintains more than 88% NO conversion at 175–275 °C. By using BET, XPS, H 2 -TPR, NH 3 -TPD, and In situ DRIFTS to characterize the catalysts, the effects of doping the active metal Ce on the physicochemical characteristics of OMS-2 catalysts were under investigation. In conclusion, the improvement of the low-temperature activity of the Ce x -OMS-2 catalyst is facilitated by lower agglomeration and crystallinity , larger specific surface area, smaller average pore size, enhanced surface oxygen vacancies, increased Mn 4+ concentration, and richer Brønsted acid. Reaction gas adsorbed species and intermediates on the catalyst surface were dynamically captured during In situ DRIFTS experiments. The CO-SCR reaction of the catalyst was found to follow the E-R mechanism below 200 ℃ and the L-H mechanism at 200–350 ℃.

A class of stereo-isomerically-pure alkanediol monoglycosides, 2-hydroxyethyl per- O -acetyl pyranosides ( IIIa-IIIf ), was conveniently prepared by a one-pot reaction of per- O -acetylated pyranoses ( Ia-If ) and 2-( tert -butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethanol ( II ) with catalysis by BF 3 ·OEt 2 . The α -( IIIa ) or β -linked glycosides ( IIIb-IIIf ) with 1,2- trans -configuration were obtained from glycosyl donors with participation of the neighbouring 2- O -acetyl group. BF 3 ·OEt 2 , along with hydrogen fluoride released from BF 3 ·OEt 2 under the experimental conditions used, facilitates the subsequent de-protection of siloxane to successfully afford 2-hydroxyethyl per- O -acetyl-pyranosides.

Although development of microbiota in childhood has been linked to chronic immune-related conditions, early childhood determinants of microbiota development have not been fully elucidated. We used 16S rRNA sequencing to analyse faecal and saliva samples from 83 children at four time-points during their first 2 years of life and from their mothers. Our findings confirm that gut microbiota in infants have low diversity and highlight that some properties are shared with the oral microbiota, although inter-individual differences are present. A considerable convergence in gut microbiota composition was noted across the first 2 years of life, towards a more diverse adult-like microbiota. Mode of delivery accounted for some of the inter-individual variation in early childhood, but with a pronounced attenuation over time. Our study extends previous research with further characterization of the major shift in gut microbiota composition during the first 2 years of life.

A halotolerant bacterial consortium capable of degrading di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) was enriched from activated sludge. Community analysis revealed that LF contained seven families and seven genera of bacteria. The predominant species was Gordonia sp. (54.93%), Rhodococcus . sp. (9.92%) and Achromobacter sp. (8.47%). The consortium could degrade 93.84% of 1000 mg/l DEHP after 48 h incubation. The optimal temperature and pH for LF to degrade DEHP were 30 °C and 6.0, respectively. LF degraded more than 91% of DEHP with salt concentrations ranging from 0–3%. The inoculum size had great effects on DEHP degradation (incubation time < 24h). LF could degrade high concentrations of DEHP (from 100 to 2000 mg/l) with the degradation ratio above 92% after 72 h incubation. Kinetics analysis revealed that the degradation of DEHP by LF was best fitted by the first-order kinetics when the initial concentration ranged from 100 to 2000 mg/l. The main intermediates (2-ethylhexyl pentyl phthalate, butyl (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (BEHP), mono-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP), mono-hexyl phthalate (MHP), mono-butyl phthalate (MBP)) in DEHP degradation process were identified using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and a new complex biochemical pathway was proposed. Furthermore, LF could also degrade dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di- n -butyl phthalate (DBP), di- n -octyl phthalate (DOP) and phthalic acid (PA).
