This experiment was done to study the zeolite molecular sieve as a drug-binding effector, the non-antibiotic drug potassium diformate uniformly disperse in the internal aqueous phase of the 'egg box' structure formed by pectin-calcium ions. With oil phase as the intermediate phase and Xanthan gum Chitosan as the external water phase, the W/O/W type sustained release bacteriostatic microcapsules with pH response were prepared and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetric, SEM, and TEM. It can be obtained through characterization experiments that the inner water phase, oil phase, and outer water phase were formed by observation, and W/O/W emulsion microcapsules were obtained and the bacteriostasis effect of microcapsules was verified by bacteriostasis experiment. The permeance experiment showed that the molecular sieve was successfully coated in the microsphere. Studying on drug release mechanism and sustaining release performance of composite emulsion microcapsules. In vitro drug release study showed that the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading rate of microcapsules were improved by adding molecular sieve, reaching 12.31% and 61.55%, respectively. At the same time, we observed that the drug release rate slowed down during the simulated intestinal release process, and the drug release kinetics were in line with the first-order kinetic model and Ritger-Peppas model equation. Experiments had proven that the drug-loaded microcapsules exerted a significant bacteriostatic effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis, with the highest antibacterial rates of 97.25%, 94.05%, and 95.93%, respectively. Therefore, the composite emulsion microcapsules can be used as a new controlled-release drug delivery system in vivo.

Anthocyanins are a group of natural water-soluble pigments in plants that contribute to the pink-purple color of a range of tissues. Because anthocyanins have various biological activities in human health, there is great research interest in the development of anthocyanin-rich foods and beverages, including purple shoot tea. Anthocyanidin 3- O -galactosides have been identified as one of the main anthocyanin components in purple shoot tea, but the enzyme responsible for their biosynthesis remains unclear. UDP-galactose anthocyanidin 3- O -galactosyltransferase (UA3GalT) is presumed to catalyze the galactosylation of anthocyanidin. Therefore, we assayed the UA3GalT activity in five tea samples with varying degrees of purple color and found that its activity was strongly positively correlated (r = 0.929, p < 0.05) with anthocyanin content. Phylogenetic analysis and sequence alignment suggested that CsUGT78A15 encoded a UA3GalT enzyme. Enzymatic assays indicated that r Cs UGT78A15 could catalyze the synthesis of cyanidin 3- O -galactoside and delphinidin 3- O -galactoside using UDP-galactose as a sugar donor, and it showed higher catalytic efficiency towards delphinidin than cyanidin. These results indicate that Cs UGT78A15 acts as a UA3GalT in vitro . Subcellular localization showed that Cs UGT78A15 was located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nucleus, consistent with the location of anthocyanin synthesis. Transient overexpression of CsUGT78A15 in the fruit of mature ‘Granny Smith’ apples showed that the upregulation of CsUGT78A15 promoted cyanidin 3- O -galactoside accumulation in apple skins. These results suggested that Cs UGT78A15 could catalyze galactosylation of anthocyanidins in planta . Our findings provide insight into the biosynthesis of anthocyanins in tea plants .

It is of great importance to explore the selective hydrogenolysis of β-O-4 linkages, which account for 45–60% of all linkages in native lignin, to produce valued-added chemicals and fuels from biomass employing UV light as catalyst. TiO2exhibited satisfactory catalytic performances in various photochemical reactions, due to its versatile advantages involving high catalytic activity, low cost and non-toxicity. In this work, 20 wt.% Ni/TiO2and oxidant PCC (Pyridinium chlorochromate) were employed to promote the cleavage of β-O-4 alcohol to obtain high value chemicals under UV irradiation at room temperature. The Ni/TiO2photocatalyst can be magnetically recovered and efficiently reused in the following four consecutive recycling tests in the cleavage of β-O-4 ether bond in lignin. Mechanism studies suggested that the oxidation of β-O-4 alcohol to β-O-4 ketone by oxidant PCC first occurred during the reaction, and was followed by the photocatalysis of the obtained β-O-4 ketone to corresponding acetophenone and phenol derivates. Furthermore, the system was tested on a variety of lignin model substrates containing β-O-4 linkage for the generation of fragmentation products in good to excellent results.Keywords:lignin;β-O-4;photocatalyst;Ni/TiO2;oxidant PCC

Selective oxidative C–C and C–O bond cleavage is of significance to the efficient utilization of biomass and biomass-derived platform compounds. In this work, the selective oxidative cleavage of C–C and C–O bonds has been developed with an iron-based catalyst (Fe–N–C) in the presence of molecular oxygen. Specifically, the β-O-4 lignin model compound was successfully converted to phenol and methyl benzoate in a methanol solvent, where the substrate conversion was 95.0% and the yields of phenol and methyl benzoate were 94.9% and 63.7%, respectively, when the reaction was performed with the Fe–N–C-850 catalyst at 120 °C for 4 h. Also, the oxidative transformations of other lignin models to phenols and methyl benzoates were achieved. Further investigations showed that the existence of the Fe3C phase in the catalyst plays an important role in the aerobic oxidative cleavage of C–C and C–O bonds in the β-O-4 lignin model.

In this study, novel polyborosilazane-derived SiBCN(O) ceramic was used as self-healing component in self-healing C f /SiBCN(O) composite, which was prepared by polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) process. Molecular-level structure design of boron-containing ceramic precursors was utilized to achieve uniform dispersion of boron-containing self-healing components in prepared composites. No elemental diffusion was observed at the interface of ceramic matrix and carbon fibers, which resulted in stable SiBCN(O) structure. In addition, boron was uniformly distributed in C f /SiBCN(O) composite ceramic matrix , which was beneficial for self-healing of cracks. Cracks and indentations were able to heal at high temperatures in air. The best crack-healing behavior occurred in air atmosphere at 1000 °C, with nearly complete crack healing. This excellent self-healing behavior was achieved because silicon and boron atoms in SiBCN(O) ceramic reacted with available oxygen at high temperatures to form SiO 2 (l), B 2 O 3 (l), and B 2 O 3 ·xSiO 2 liquid phases, which effectively filled cracks. In general, as-prepared C f /SiBCN(O) composite exhibited excellent self-healing properties and shows great application potential in high-temperature environment applications such as aviation, aerospace, and nuclear power.

This work introduces a novel digital light processing (DLP) printable SiBCN(O) ceramic precursor (UV-hPBSZ), derived through a straightforward aminolysis approach. The unique hyperbranched molecular structure of UV-hPBSZ leads to remarkable UV curing efficiency, excellent printability, satisfied ceramic yield, and consistent shrinkage ratio. UV-hPBSZ also exhibits superior resistance against cracking and collapse during the polymer-to-ceramic process, thus enabling the fabrication of intricate SiBCN(O) ceramic structures. Upon pyrolysis at 1200 °C, the resulting SiBCN(O) ceramic demonstrates outstanding electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance, achieving full coverage in the X band ( R L min = -36.68 dB). To showcase the design flexibility, a distinctive metastructure is proposed and successfully fabricated using DLP printing technique. This SiBCN(O) metastructure absorber enables impressive EMW absorption in the Ku band (94.6 % coverage), attributed to surface resonance effects and multiple internal reflections. Moreover, SiBCN(O) ceramics exhibit excellent high-temperature stability, with less than a 1.63 % total mass change from room temperature to 1400 °C. UV-hPBSZ offers a simple but versatile way to control dielectric properties, which opens up new possibilities for multifunctional integrated EMW absorbers suitable for both ambient and high-temperature conditions.

Intestinal mucins constitute the major component of the mucus covering the epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby forming a barrier against microbial colonization. Rabbits are bred in large numbers worldwide, with little known about intestinalO-glycosylation despite this insight being crucial to the understanding of host-pathogen interactions. In the present study, a major mucin-type glycopeptide (RIF6) of hyla rabbit intestine was isolated and theO-glycans were extensively characterized based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) combined with bioinformatics approaches. Thirty-threeO-glycans were identified, and most of them were sulfated or sialylated glycans. It was worth noting that Neu5Gc-containing structures within sialylatedO-glycans accounted for 91%, which were extremely different from that of other species including humans, mice, chickens, etc. Sulfated glycans accounted for 58%, unique disufated and sulfated-sialylated glycans were also detected in rabbit intestinal mucin. These structural characterization reflected species diversity and may provide deeper insights into explaining the adaptability of hyla rabbit to the environment.Keywords:Hyla rabbit intestinal mucin;O-glycan;Neu5Gc;structural characterization

Efficient depolymerization of C–O linkages is essential for converting lignin into fuels and higher value-added chemicals. In this work, CoRuP/SiO2, an amorphous Ru-Co phosphide composite, was fabricated for the efficient hydrogenolysis of ether linkages. The 4–O–5 andα–O–4 linkages containing lignin-related compounds, such as diphenyl ether, benzyl phenyl ether, 3-methyl diphenyl ether, and dibenzyl ether, are selected as representatives of linkages in lignin. Under mild conditions, Ru-containing metallic phosphides have high-performance for the catalytic depolymerization of C–O linkages. Compared with other catalysts, CoRuP/SiO2shows an outstanding selectivity for benzene and excellent efficiency in depolymerizing diphenyl ethers, yielding only a small amount of by-products. Furthermore, the total acidity shows a linear relationship with the hydrogenolysis reactivity in cleaving aromatic ether bonds. The mechanisms for the catalytic hydrogenolysis of 4–O–5 andα–O–4 bonds over CoRuP/SiO2are proposed. Moreover, two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis demonstrates that CoRuP/SiO2could effectively depolymerize C–O bonds of lignin. These dominant hydrogenolysis products from lignin have excellent potential in the production of high value-added drugs or pharmaceutical intermediates. The hydrogenolysis of lignin can be a highly efficient alternative to the existing method of lignin utilization.Keywords:hydrogenolysis;C–O linkages;metallic phosphides;reaction pathway

Antibiotics and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are widely employed in curing acne. However, antibiotics as an effective treatment would lead to bacterial resistance and severe side effects. In this study, we aimed to develop a novel TBO hydrogel, which could prolong the retention time of photosensitizer (TBO) at the lesion site and improve therapeutic effect. In vitro antibacterial experiments (against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli ), the response surface methodology was used to optimize the formulation of TBO hydrogel. The results indicated that the optimal formulation was 0.5% ( v / v ) carbomer, 0.01 mg/mL TBO, 0.5% ( v / v ) ethanol concentration, 0.5% ( v / v ) Tween 80, the mass ratio of NaOH to carbomer of 0.4 ( w / w ). The TBO hydrogel formulation showed the strong antibacterial activity for Propionibacterium acnes . The stability, pH, and antibacterial activity of TBO hydrogel did not significantly change under 4 °C, 25 °C, and 40 °C during 6-week storage. Furthermore, TBO combined with carbomer hydrogel showed the 51.28% (4 h) and 69.80% (24 h) release. In summary, the hydrogel TBO might be a vital therapeutic strategy to promote the PDT applied in the topical therapy of acne.

Understanding how dietary polysaccharides affect mucin O -glycosylation and gut microbiota could provide various nutrition-based treatments. Here, the O -glycan profile of the colonic mucosa and gut microbiome were investigated in C57BL/6J mice fed six structurally diverse dietary polysaccharides and a mixture of six fibers. Dietary polysaccharides increased total O -glycans, mainly by stimulating neutral glycans. Highly branched arabinogalactan promoted terminally fucosylated core 1 O -glycans; whereas linear polysaccharides, including pectin, konjac glucomannan, inulin, and the fiber mixture, favored terminally di-fucosylated O -glycans. The last three polysaccharides also lowered the level of sulfated O -glycans and sialylated mono-fucosylated O -glycans. Varied monosaccharide composition in mixed polysaccharides had a synergistic beneficial effect, boosting fucosylated neutral glycans, decreasing acidic glycans, and stimulating microbial richness and diversity. Dietary polysaccharides containing arabinose and sulfate groups enhanced the relative abundances of Akkermansia and Muribaculaceae , respectively. The present comparison reveals the relationship between dietary polysaccharide structure, mucin O -glycan composition, and intestinal microorganisms.

The pyrolytic characteristics of cellulose, cellobiose and glucose were examined by TG-FTIR combined with Py-GC–MS, in order to gain the effect of β -O-4 glycosidic bond on the pyrolysis process. In TG-FTIR analysis, two mass loss peaks were observed for cellobiose and glucose, indicating dehydration in low temperature stage and consequently intensive cracking of glycosidic bond and fragments for cellobiose. The samples were tested in Py-GC–MS at the temperature of 300, 500 and 900 °C according to their mass loss characteristics from TG-FTIR. Formation of furans from cellobiose, which involved the cracking of β -O-4 glycosidic bond, was prominent over other products, compared to that of cellulose and glucose. Four possible chemical pathways for the cleavage of β -O-4 glycosidic bond have been proposed with regard to the formation of furans and anhydrosugars from cellulose. Besides, another two reaction pathways leading to the formation of levoglucosan were also suggested.

Molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor for the detection of sulfamethoxazole was prepared by electropolymerization with sulfamethoxazole as template molecule and o-phenylenediamine as functional monomer. Electrochemical performance of molecularly imprinted sensor was studied by cyclic voltammetry in 0.1 mol/L KCl solution containing 5 μM K 3 Fe(CN) 6 . On the optimal experimental conditions, square wave voltammetry was used to detect sulfamethoxazole. The square wave voltammetric peak current difference of the sensor has a good linear relationship with the concentration of sulfamethoxazole in the range of 0.2to 1.4 μM, and the detection limit is 0.05 μM. The molecularly imprinted sensor has good selectivity, repeatability and stability.
