Purpose Poor site-specific delivery and insufficient intracellular drug release in tumors are inherent disadvantages to successful chemotherapy. In this study, an extraordinary polymeric micelle nanoplatform was designed for the efficient delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) by combining dual receptor-mediated active targeting and stimuli response to intracellular reduction potential.Methods The dual-targeted redox-sensitive polymer, folic acid-hyaluronic acid-SS-vitamin E succinate (FHSV), was synthesized via an amidation reaction and characterized by 1H-NMR. Then, PTX-loaded FHSV micelles (PTX/FHSV) were prepared by a dialysis method. The physiochemical properties of the micelles were explored. Moreover, in vitro cytological experiments and in vivo animal studies were carried out to evaluate the antitumor efficacy of polymeric micelles.Results The PTX/FHSV micelles exhibited a uniform, near-spherical morphology (148.8 ± 1.4 nm) and a high drug loading capacity (11.28% ± 0.25). Triggered by the high concentration of glutathione, PTX/FHSV micelles could quickly release their loaded drug into the release medium. The in vitro cytological evaluations showed that, compared with Taxol or single receptor-targeted micelles, FHSV micelles yielded higher cellular uptake by the dual receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway, thus leading to significantly superior cytotoxicity and apoptosis in tumor cells but less cytotoxicity in normal cells. More importantly, in the in vivo antitumor experiments, PTX/FHSV micelles exhibited enhanced tumor accumulation and produced remarkable tumor growth inhibition with minimal systemic toxicity.Conclusion Our results suggest that this well-designed FHSV polymer has promising potential for use as a vehicle of chemotherapeutic drugs for precise cancer therapy.

Impregnating fabrics with shear thickening fluid (STF) improves impact resistance. In this study modification of polyethylene glycol (PEG 200) was carried out to enhance the thickening behavior of STF. The rheological analysis shows tunned STFs by PEG modification with glutaric acid and oxalic acid increase the maximum viscosity by about 10.33 and 3.28 folds with respect to unmodified STF. Additionally, the alternations of a liquid dispersion medium (PEG) led to higher chain length in STFs, representing superior interaction between media and particles by profuse H-bonding. The results confirmed that increasing the molecular length of PEG-based on STF caused a significant improvement in the knife and spike stabbing impact resistance, quasi-static, and yarn pull-out performance of the neat fabric. In addition, it was realized, by increasing impact velocity the energy absorption ability of STF-treated fabric composite increases. Additionally, a regression analysis using artificial intelligence was applied to study the effect of the pull-out rate on the mechanical response of different materials. Using a third-order polynomial for AI regression model, it turned out that while the pull-out rate has the least influence on untreated E-glass fabrics (UEG) response, for other materials, the behavior changes significantly by increasing the rate from 100 to 400 mm/min.

Photocatalytic inactivation has been proved to be an effective strategy to eliminate pathogenic bacteria in water. Herein, a novel 0D/2D p-n heterojunction of Ag2S-anchored P-doped g-C3N4 (Ag2S/PCN) were constructed by a simple two-step process coupling one-pot calcination and ultrasonic-assisted synthesis. The photocatalytic performance of as-prepared Ag2S/PCN composites was investigated by inactivating multidrug-resistant E. coli under visible light irradiation. The results indicated that Ag2S/PCN-5 possessed outstanding photocatalytic inactivation activity and superior stability, which could completely inactivate 7.0 log E. coli cells within 60 min. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ag2S/PCN-5 was mainly attributed to the elevated visible-light response and improved production and transfer of photoexcited charges. In addition, the free radicals trapping experiments results revealed that h+ and •O2− were predominantly responsible for the efficient inactivation activity. Finally, according to the 0D/2D structure and energy band configuration analysis, the enhanced p-n type heterojunction photocatalytic inactivation mechanism of Ag2S/PCN was discussed in detail.

We herein developed sodium alginate (SA)-chitosan (CS) dual-network liposome gel beads (S-C-L) using electrostatic complexation to co-deliver of folic acid (FA) and vitamin E (VE). The effects of varying SA-to-CS mass ratios (9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 1:1, 4:6, and 3:7) on beads' microstructure, physicochemical traits, and encapsulation performance were systematically assessed. The findings indicated that even minimal CS incorporation markedly improved the mechanical strength, stability and overall functionality of the liposome gel beads compared with those made solely from SA (S-L). At a 9:1 SA-to-CS ratio, the beads displayed uniform, spherical shapes with compact crosslinked networks and achieved the highest encapsulation efficiencies (FA: 87.92%; VE: 92.94%). In addition, the SA-CS dual-network system allowed controlled lipid digestion and reversible structural transitions, supporting efficient intestinal release of both nutrients (FA: 86.57%; VE: 84.07%). Overall, this work offers a promising framework for designing carbohydrate-based dual-network liposome gels for the simultaneous delivery of hydrophilic and lipophilic bioactive components.

This study investigated the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of Dictyophora rubrovalvata (DR) varying varieties and cultivation conditions by E -nose, GC-MS, GC-IMS, Multivariate Data Analysis (MDA). E-nose and PCA indicated overall volatile intensity as QY1-D (Qianyou-No.1-greenhouse) > QF1-L (Qianfeng-No.1-forest conditions) > QY1-L (Qianyou-No.1-forest conditions) > QF1-D (Qianfeng-No.1-forest greenhouse), GC-MS, GC-IMS analysis highlighted 12 and 35 key VOCs that OAV > 1. GC-MS was particularly sensitive to Hexanal and 2-Octenal, could effectively distinguish the environmental influences on VOCs. However, GC-IMS was sensitive to Ethyl acetate, Acetic acid, 3-Hydroxy-2-butanone and 3-Furanmethanol, and enabling it to not only differentiate the environmental impact on the VOCs but also varieties. Furthermore, MDA demonstrated the combination of GC-MS and GC-IMS were more comprehensively and accurately in characterizing the VOCs. Overall, QY1 exhibited a higher VOCs content than QF1. Besides, the greenhouse environment was more conducive to aroma enrichment in QY1, whereas the undergrowth environment was more beneficial for aroma enrichment in QF1.

The unique flavor and aroma characteristics of huajiao were not only influenced by cultivated varieties, maturity, but also geographic origin. This study compared the terpenoids of 48 species of huajiao using headspace solid-phase microextraction–gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) and electronic nose (E-nose). The E-nose results showed differences in huajiao from different origins and varieties, and from the PCA loading plots it was possible to conclude that some samples contained higher levels of hydrocarbons and alcohols, providing a preliminary discrimination between different species of huajiao. Further, GC-MS results showed that six key biomarkers could be used to distinguish red and green huajiao. Red huajiao in Central China contained more terpenoids than in other regions. Nine key biomarkers could be used to distinguish red huajiao from different regions. Oil huajiao exhibited a more distinct aroma in red huajiao. Green huajiao from Yunnan Province had more terpenoids than that from other provinces. The terpenoids content of Yunnan zhuyeqing was higher than other green huajiao. Heatmap analysis helped to find the most contributors of huajiao, which could be used as key terpenoids to differentiate huajiao of different regions or cultivars. Finally, through the correlation analysis of E-nose and GC-MS, it was found that the E-nose sensors could distinguish different huajiao by specific responses to some terpenoids in the samples.

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are widely used in various productions. As typical BFRs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are prohibited because of their toxicity and persistence. Some of the alternatives to PBDEs, new brominated flame retardants (NBFRs), have also been found in the environment and some have assigned hazardous properties and were categorized as persistent. In this study, a typical e-waste dismantling area was chosen as the study area, and the soil and rice samples were collected from the paddy fields around the circular economy park in Guiyu, China. The contaminations of PBDEs and NBFRs in soils and rice plants were detected, and the health risks associated with consumption and exposure to the environment were calculated as well. The concentrations of ∑PBDEs and ∑NBFRs in soil ranged from 283 to 928 μg/kg and 54.7–437 μg/kg, respectively. In rice plants, the majority of BFRs were concentrated in the following order: root > leaf > stem > grain. Additionally, only the PBT exhibited a stronger bioaccumulation ability in rice with the bioconcentration factors more than 1.00. The results of the health quotient calculation shown that BDE-47 might have an impact on people's health that only the HQ of BDE-47 in the soil was higher than 1.00, while there had no significant health risk in grain of BFRs. We believe that our work could assist researchers in investigating and revealing the human health effects of BFRs in soil and rice.

( R )-1-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanol (( R )-MTF-PEL) is an important chiral building block for the synthesis of a neuroprotective compound, ( R )-3-(1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethoxy)azetidine-1-carboxamide. In this work, an effective whole-cell-catalyzed biotransformation was developed to produce ( R )-MTF-PEL, and its productivity was increased by medium engineering strategy. The recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3)-pET28a(+) - LXCAR-S154Y variant affording carbonyl reductase was adopted for the reduction of 3'-(trifluoromethyl)acetophenone to ( R )-MTF-PEL with enantiomeric excess (ee) > 99.9%. The addition of 0.6% Tween-20 (w/v) boosted the bioreduction, because the substrate concentration was increased by 4.0-fold than that in the neat buffer solution. The biocatalytic efficiency was further enhanced by introducing choline chloride: lysine (ChCl:Lys, molar ratio of 1:1) in the reaction medium, because the product yield reached 91.5% under 200 mM substrate concentration in the established Tween-20/ChCl:Lys-containing system, which is the highest ever reported for ( R )-MTF-PEL production. The optimal reduction conditions were as follows: 4% (w/v) ChCl:Lys, 12.6 g (DCW)/L recombinant E. coli cells, pH 7.0, 30 ℃ and 200 rpm, reaction for 18 h. The combined strategy of surfactant and NADES has great potential in the biocatalytic process and the synthesis of chiral alcohols.

One of the main challenges in large-scale applications of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) is the significant amount of template needed in polymer preparation. A new strategy based on room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) was suggested to solve this problem by reducing the amount of template in the polymerization recipe. The MIP was synthesized with a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and RTIL (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) as porogen, in which chlorogenic acid (CGA) was used as template, 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) as functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as cross-linker. The influence of polymerization variables, including CGA concentrations, and the ratio of 4-VP to EDMA on imprinting effect were investigated comprehensively. Moreover, the properties involving the column permeability, the number of binding sites, and the polymer morphology of the CGA-MIP monoliths were studied thoroughly. The MIP monolith had an excellent column permeability (1.53 × 10 −13 m 2 ) and allowed an ultra-fast on-line SPE, which dramatically shortens the separation time (< 10 min) and improves the separation efficiency. At high flow velocity (5.0 mL min −1 ), 50 μL of the extract from Eucommia ulmoides leaves can be loaded directly on the CGA-MIP monoliths and CGA with high purity can be obtained with a recovery of 89.01 ± 0.05%. As a conclusion, the resulting RTIL-induced approach of preparing MIP may be an effective tool in fabricating MIP in a low-cost way.

The reductase (PgCR) from recombinant Escherichia coli CCZU-Y10 displayed high reductase activity and excellent stereoselectivity for the reduction of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) into ethyl ( S )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate (( S )-CHBE). To efficiently synthesize ( S )-CHBE (>99 % enantiomeric excess (ee)), the highly stereoselective bioreduction of COBE into ( S )-CHBE with the whole cells of E. coli CCZU-Y10 was successfully demonstrated in a dibutyl phthalate-water biphasic system. The appropriate ratio of the organic phase to water phase was 1:1 ( v / v ). The optimum reaction temperature, reaction pH, cosubstrate, NAD + , and cell dosage of the biotransformation of 100 mM COBE in this biphasic system were 30 °C, 7.0, mannitol (2.5 mmol/mmol COBE), 0.1 μmol/(mmol COBE), and 0.1 g (wet weight)/mL, respectively. Moreover, COBE at a high concentration of (1,000 mM) could be asymmetrically reduced to ( S )-CHBE in a high yield (99.0 %) and high enantiometric excess value (>99 % ee). Significantly, E. coli CCZU-Y10 shows high potential in the industrial production of ( S )-CHBE (>99 % ee).

Processing technology plays a crucial role in the formation of tea aroma. The dynamic variations in volatile metabolites across different processing stages of fresh scent green tea (FSGT) were meticulously tracked utilizing advanced analytical techniques such as GC-E-Nose, GC–MS, and GC × GC-TOFMS. A total of 244 volatile metabolites were identified by GC–MS and GC × GC-TOFMS, among which 37 volatile compounds were concurrently detected by both methods. Spreading and fixation stages were deemed as pivotal processes for shaping the volatile profiles in FSGT. Notably, linalool, heptanal, 2-pentylfuran, nonanal, β -myrcene, hexanal, 2-heptanone, pentanal, 1-octen-3-ol, and 1-octanol were highlighted as primary contributors to the aroma profiles of FSGT by combining odor activity value assessment. Furthermore, lipid degradation and glycoside hydrolysis were the main pathways for aroma formation of FSGT. The results not only elucidate the intricate variations in volatile metabolites but also offer valuable insights into enhancing the processing techniques for improved aroma quality of green tea.
