Oligosaccharides and N/O-glycans are abundant in human milk and have numerous biological functions (for instance sialylated glycans provide sialic acid for the growth of infant brains), but their variation trends during lactation need further exploration. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of oligosaccharides and N/O-glycans in human milk at different lactation stages (from 7 days to 8 months) were performed using UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Thirty-four oligosaccharides, twenty-three N-glycans, and six O-glycans were identified. Oligosaccharides showed the highest abundance in human colostrum and decreased with the progression of lactation, and the abundance of N/O-glycans fluctuated as lactation progressed, while a high abundance of sialylated oligosaccharides and sialylated N/O-glycans was observed in human colostrum. These findings provide evidence for breastfeeding support and contribute to the development of infant formula supplemented with human milk glycans.

Mannan polysaccharides (MPs), which contain substituted O -acetyl groups in their backbone, are abundant in the medicinal plant Dendrobium officinale . Acetyl groups can influence the physiological and biochemical properties of polysaccharides, which mainly accumulate in the stems of D. officinale at four developmental stages (S1–S4), showing an increasing trend and a link with water-soluble polysaccharides (WSPs) and mannose. The genes coding for enzymes that catalyze O -acetyl groups to MPs are unknown in D. officinale . The TRICHOME BIREFRINGENCE-LIKE (TBL) gene family contains TBL and DUF231 domains that can transfer O -acetyl groups to various polysaccharides. Based on an established D. officinale genome database, 37 DoTBL genes were identified. Analysis of cis -elements in the promoter region showed that DoTBL genes might respond to different hormones and abiotic stresses. Most of the genes with MeJA-responsive elements were upregulated or downregulated after treatment with MeJA. qRT-PCR results demonstrated that DoTBL genes had significantly higher expression levels in stems and leaves than in roots. Eight DoTBL genes showed relatively higher expression at S2–S4 stages, which showed a link with the content of WSPs and O -acetyl groups. DoTBL35 and its homologous gene DoTBL34 displayed the higher mRNA level in different organs and developmental stages, which might participate in the acetylation of MPs in D. officinale . The subcellular localization of DoTBL34 and DoTBL35 reveals that the endoplasmic reticulum may play an important role in the acetylation of MPs.

Xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibition has long been considered an effective anti-hyperuricemia strategy. To identify effective natural XOD inhibitors with little side effects, we performed a XOD inhibitory assay-coupled isolation of compounds fromSmilacis Glabrae Rhizoma(SGR), a traditional Chinese medicine frequently prescribed as anti-hyperuricemia agent for centuries. Through the in vitro XOD inhibitory assay, we obtained a novel XOD inhibitor, 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid (#1, 5OCSA) with IC50of 13.96 μM, as well as two known XOD inhibitors, quercetin (#3) and astilbin (#6). Meanwhile, we performed in silico molecular docking and found 5OCSA could interact with the active sites of XOD (PDB ID: 3NVY) with a binding energy of −8.6 kcal/mol, suggesting 5OCSA inhibits XOD by binding with its active site. To evaluate the in vivo effects on XOD, we generated a hyperuricemia mice model by intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate (300 mg/kg) and oral gavage of hypoxanthine (500 mg/kg) for 7 days. 5OCSA could inhibit both hepatic and serum XOD in vivo, together with an improvement of histological and multiple serological parameters in kidney injury and HUA. Collectively, our results suggested that 5OCSA may be developed into a safe and effective XOD inhibitor based on in vitro, in silico and in vivo evidence.Keywords:Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma;5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid;potassium oxonate;hyperuricemia;XOD inhibitor

In order to explore the effects of the structures of organic molecules on their performance and develop high-efficiency self-assembly monolayers (SAMs), two heterocycle-based indole compounds, namely FYBI and TYBI, have been synthesized by a simple route. Herein, we show that FYBI and TYBI can effectively self-assemble on a copper surface and form strong anti-corrosive monolayers to protect copper in acid medium. The compositions, morphologies, and thicknesses of the SAMs have been investigated by XPS, FTIR, SEM and ellipsometry analyses. The optimal self-assembly conditions and inhibition performance of the SAMs with O- or S-heterocycles have been studied by electrochemical tests. According to the results, TYBI displays more powerful inhibition performance than FYBI. Furthermore, the high-resolution XPS and quantum calculation results reveal that the S-heterocycle indole (TYBI) can readily donate electrons to the empty d orbital of Cu and form more robust, hydrophobic, and anti-corrosive SAMs than the O-heterocycle indole (FYBI). The inhibited corrosion is achieved by inhibiting the generation of Cu2+. This systematic study on the performance of various heterocycle-based organic compounds gives a fresh perspective for forming SAMs with certain characteristics, such as anti-corrosion ability or super-hydrophobicity.

Graphical Highly substituted 2-hydroxyflavanones can be obtained through a tandem O -arylation/hydroxylation process from triazenylaryl-substituted diketones in the presence of a Lewis acid. A transition-metal-free tandem O -arylation/hydroxylation approach has been developed for the efficient synthesis of highly substituted 2-hydroxyflavanones from triazenylaryl-substituted diketones. The intermediate benzopyrylium cation may be involved in these reactions.

Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed C-O cross-coupling of N-methoxy amides and arylboronic acids for the synthesis of aryl-N-methoxy arylimides. The fully selective O-arylation of the N-methoxy amides is found to be greatly prompted by the inexpensive and commercially available CuI. The reaction conditions tolerate a variety of functional groups and promote different reactivities depending on the electronic and steric properties of the distorted substrates.Keywords:copper catalyzed;N-methoxy amides;selective C-O cross-coupling;aryl-N-methoxy arylimides

Rapid thermal exfoliation/reduction of graphite oxide is a fast and easy method among the oxidation–reduction approaches for graphene synthesis. In this research, we firstly demonstrated that graphene can be obtained with a surface area of 550 to 700 m2 g−1 and a yield of approximately 50% through one-step rapid thermal treatment in air from 450 to 550 °C, without vacuum or protective gas through a self-protection process. Then, we further demonstrated the effective two-step thermal annealing to significantly improve the C/O ratio from ca. 7.3 to 25.9 in air at the relatively low temperature of 600 °C. The smart self-protecting and enhanced-oxygen-removal mechanisms were discussed.

Direct introduction of silyl radicals to forge C–Si bonds is of central importance in organic synthesis, owing to the formidable potential of silyl groups as coupling partners for further derivatization reactions to achieve more valuable compounds. Cleavage of heteroaromatic endocyclic carbon–heteroatom bonds to assemble C–Si bonds is scarce. Here, we demonstrate a dearomatization silylation of benzofurans and furopyridines via silyl radical addition and C(2)–O bond scission under metal-catalyst-free and mild conditions. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest that these transformations involve radical/single-electron transfer and [1,5]-Brook rearrangement processes. This protocol for the total synthesis of Doxepin and oxyresveratrol derivatives is carried out. The silylated products in several transformation reactions have proven to be useful as synthetic intermediates.

The high specific surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and chemical stability of porous carbon have increasingly garnered attention in supercapacitors. Herein, rapeseed stalks were utilized as precursors to synthesize nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) co-doped porous activated carbon (RSAC) through processes of high-temperature carbonization and KOH activation. The optimally synthesized RSAC-10 exhibits an ultra-high specific surface area of 3085 m 2 g −1 , a specific capacitance of 354.7 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , and remarkable cyclic stability (105% of its specific capacitance after 10,000 cycles). Moreover, a symmetric supercapacitor (SSC) fabricated with RSAC-10 electrodes and a 6 M KOH electrolyte demonstrates a high specific capacitance of 85.21 F g −1 at a current density of 0.25 A g −1 , maintaining 89.8% of its initial capacitance after 10,000 cycles. Additionally, an SSC comprising RSAC-10 electrodes and [BMIM]BF 4 electrolyte delivers an energy density of 52.6 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 375.1 W kg −1 . This work presents an effective method for valorizing crop waste and successfully prepares electrode materials with high specific surface areas alongside substantial energy and power densities.

This study proposes a hybrid electrochemical oxidation-coagulation (EOC) system that integrates a Ti₄O₇ anode with a cathode fabricated from waste aluminum cans, enabling the simultaneous degradation of phosphonates and removal of hardness ions from cooling water. Compared to standalone electrooxidation (EO) and conventional chemical coagulation (CC), the EOC system achieved 41.9% Ca²⁺ removal, 91% total soluble phosphorus (TSP) elimination, and 67.2% conversion of phosphonate to phosphate within 2 hours. Mechanistic studies revealed that the hybrid EOC system performs a synergistic effect, including anodic oxidation of antiscalant (nitrilotris methylene phosphonic acid, NTMP), and the cathodic dissolution of aluminum, generating coagulants that facilitate the concurrent removal of hardness ions and residual phosphorus. The presence of chloride ions enhanced NTMP degradation via the generation of reactive chlorine species (RCS) without impacting Ca²⁺ removal efficiency, whereas the presence of magnesium ions promoted Ca²⁺ removal via Mg(OH)₂ formation, which provides nucleation sites for co-precipitation. On top of mechanical insights, practical validation with real cooling water confirmed the practical effectiveness and robustness of the EOC system. Moreover, energy consumption analysis revealed that the EOC system significantly reduced energy demand for calcium and TSP removal by 91% and 76%, respectively, compared to the EO system. Overall, this work underscores an efficient and cost-effective electrochemical approach for industrial cooling water treatment, establishing foundational insights for scalable implementation.

Caffeine (CAF), a compound with stimulant and antimicrobial properties, exhibits widespread environmental distribution due to incomplete wastewater treatment. To address this issue, this study systematically evaluated the removal efficiency and mechanisms of CAF using a vacuum ultraviolet/peracetic acid/MnFe₂O₄ (VUV/PAA/MnFe₂O₄) system. The magnetic MnFe₂O₄ catalyst, synthesized via a hydrothermal method, enabled near-complete CAF removal (>99 % within 20 min) in VUV/PAA/MnFe₂O₄ system under neutral conditions (PAA: 2.0 mM; MnFe₂O₄: 0.25 g∙L −1 ). The assessment of water quality effects indicated that humic acid (HA), CO₃²⁻, Cl⁻, and SO 4 ²⁻ inhibited CAF degradation, while NO₃⁻ demonstrated a slight concentration-dependent influence. Mechanistic studies identified hydroxyl radical (•OH) as the primary reactive species (95 % contribution), with secondary roles played by organic radical (R-C•) and direct VUV photolysis. The sustained •OH generation was facilitated by oxygen vacancies (V O ) and cyclic redox conversion of Mn²⁺/Mn³ ⁺ and Fe²⁺/Fe³ ⁺ on the MnFe₂O₄ surface under VUV irradiation. The system exhibited excellent regenerability, maintaining high removal efficiencies over five consecutive cycles. Importantly, toxicity assessment revealed that the degradation process preferentially transformed CAF into less toxic end products, demonstrating the inherent ecological safety of the system. This study provides insights for designing efficient catalytic systems for CAF-contaminated wastewater treatment.

Due to the high resistance and complexity of biofilms, alternatives to traditional antibiotic treatments are urgently needed. Here, we investigated whether Pt nanoparticles grown on Bi 3 O 4 Br nanosheets (Pt NP /Bi 3 O 4 Br) can enhance the efficacy of the antibiotic ampicillin against biofilm-associated infections. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed abundant oxygen vacancies in the Bi 3 O 4 Br nanosheet creating an ideal surface for Pt nanoparticles growth. The obtained Pt NP /Bi 3 O 4 Br nanozyme had a uniform Pt nanoparticle distribution confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy with high-angle annular dark-field scanning. Compared to Bi 3 O 4 Br nanosheets alone, the nanozyme demonstrated significantly higher catalytic activity for reactive oxygen species generation facilitated by efficient electron transfer from Pt nanoparticles. When combined with ampicillin, Pt NP /Bi 3 O 4 Br nanozyme significantly enhanced bactericidal efficacy against both Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli biofilms in vitro as shown by reduction in biofilm thickness and colony-forming units. In a murine skin infection model, the combination accelerated wound healing following S. aureus infection. Additionally, the combined treatment selectively reduced the pathogen Streptococcus mutans in human ex vivo oral biofilms while preserving the healthy human microbiome indicating potential applications in dental care. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that nanozyme-enhanced antibiotic therapy offers a promising strategy to combat biofilm-associated infections and antibiotic resistance.
