Researchers are actively developing shape memory polymers (SMPs) for smart biomaterials. This paper reports a new SMP system synthesized from biocompatible 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), butyl acrylate (BA) and tri(ethylene glycol) divinyl ether (TDE). Preliminary results show that the DMAEMA-co-BA-co-TDE copolymers form micelles in aqueous solution due to chemical crosslinking and hydrophobicity. The micelle size decreased with the increase in the BA content since the hydrophobicity of copolymers increases with the increase of BA content. The resulting polymer films contain–N(CH 3 ) 2 functional groups for further biomaterial applications. The thermal stability of DMAEMA-co-BA-co-TDE copolymers is determined by the DMAEMA structure and content. Moreover, the copolymers form micro-phase-separated structures containing a reversible amorphous soft phase, and the storage moduli decreases significantly around T g . Therefore, good thermal-induced shape memory effects are achieved in the DMAEMA-co-BA-co-TDE copolymers by adjusting the BA content. This work proposes a new strategy for designing smart biomaterials using a biocompatible monomer. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132 , 42312.

A novel imprinted CoFe2O4/MWCNTs photocatalyst was prepared through the combination of a hydrothermal method and suspension polymerization based on 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) as the molecular template, pyrrole as the imprinted functional monomer and conductive polymerizable monomer, and CoFe2O4/MWCNTs as the matrix material. The results indicated that the surface imprinted layer was successfully coated on the surface of CoFe2O4/MWCNTs and polypyrrole (PPy) was formed and existed in the surface imprinted layer, the magnetic saturation value of the novel imprinted CoFe2O4/MWCNTs photocatalyst was 19 emu g−1. Moreover, compared with other photocatalysts, the novel imprinted CoFe2O4/MWCNTs photocatalyst not only had a high photocatalytic efficiency (57.09%), but also possessed a strong ability for selective recognition and photodegradation of MBT (the coefficients of selectivity of the novel imprinted CoFe2O4/MWCNTs photocatalyst relative to CoFe2O4/MWCNTs and the non-imprinted CoFe2O4/MWCNTs photocatalyst was 3.37 and 3.28, respectively). In addition, in the process of the photodegradation reaction, h+ and ˙OH were the main oxidative species, ˙O2− played a very small role.

A novel polymerized crystalline colloidal array (PCCA) sensing material for the detection of urine glucose was developed by embedding a two-dimensional (2-D) polystyrene crystalline colloidal array (CCA) in 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (3-APBA)-functionalized hydrogel. After adjusting the cross-linker concentration, this material showed significant sensitivity for glucose under lab conditions, the particle spacing of the PCCA changed from 917 to 824 nm (93 nm) within 3 min as the glucose concentration increased from 0 to 10 mM, and the structural color of the PCCA changed from red through orange, to green, and finally, to cyan. In further experiments, this material was used to semi-quantitatively detect glucose in 20 human urine (HU) samples. Compared with the traditional dry-chemistry method, which was applied widely in clinical diagnosis, the PCCA method was more accurate and cost-effective. Moreover, this method can efficiently avoid the errors induced by most of the urine-interfering elements like vitamin C and ketone body. With a homemade portable optical detector, this low-cost intelligent sensing material can provide a more convenient and efficient strategy for the urine glucose detection in clinical diagnosis and point-of-care monitoring.

The broad-spectrum protease inhibitor alpha-2-macroglobulin (α 2 M) is widely found in vertebrates and invertebrates. However, no research regarding α 2 M has been described in sea cucumbers to date. In this study, the first sea cucumber α 2 M named Stm α 2 M was identified from Stichopus monotuberculatus , a tropical species with high edible and economic values in Southern China. The Stm α 2 M cDNA is 5276 bp in length, containing a 5′-untranslated region (UTR) of 279 bp, a 3′-UTR of 344 bp and an open reading frame of 4653 bp that encodes a protein of 1550 amino acids. The Stmα 2 M possesses all the three characteristics of known α 2 M proteins, including the bait region domain, thioester domain and receptor-binding domain. Higher levels of mRNA expression were noticed in intestine, respiratory tree, coelomocytes and tentacle of S. monotuberculatus . Transcriptional expression of Stm α 2 M showed the strongest response to lipopolysaccharides (LPS, 8.19-fold up-regulation) after 6 h post-challenge in coelomocytes. In addition, the α 2 M activity was detected in S. monotuberculatus and protein activity of α 2 M increased remarkably at 6 h after LPS stimulation. As a whole, this study indicated that Stmα 2 M is an important immune-related molecule, and the study on functions of Stmα 2 M may provide some new and valuable ideas for preventing and controlling diseases of cultured sea cucumbers.

Understanding the interfacial molecular structures of antifouling polymers in solutions is extremely important in research and applications related to chemistry, biology, and medicine. However, it is generally challenging to probe such buried solid/liquid interfaces in situ. We herein report a molecular-level study on detecting the interfacial molecular structures of an antifouling hydrogel material, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), in contact with water and bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution in situ using sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy. To compare to and validate our in situ experiments, molecular-level structures of the substrate/PHEMA interface before and after water exposure were also detected. The detected strong O–H vibrational signals from water and hydroxyethyl and carbonyl vibrational signals from PHEMA prove that the PHEMA surface hydration was attributed to the interaction between water and PHEMA side hydrophilic groups. SFG experimental results verify that the adsorbed BSA molecules at the PHEMA/solution interface were disorderly arranged, supported by data from the laser scanning confocal microscopic (LSCM) experiment. This indicates the weak interaction between the BSA molecules and PHEMA surface. This direct detection of the surface hydrated structures of PHEMA sheds light on understanding the interfacial properties of antifouling materials in aqueous environments. The capability reported here to probe the PHEMA/solution interface and the hidden substrate/PHEMA interface after water exposure can be applied to investigate a broad range of interfaces of antifouling materials.

Abstract Pd–Ir mesocrystals with rough surface and highly branched structure were synthesized through a facile co-reduction method. The morphology evolution shows the mesocrystals were formed by oriented attachment of nanoparticles, and abundant defects sites as well as synergetic effect between building units were formed during mesocrystals oriented attachment process. Therefore, the supported Pd–Ir mesocrystals show a significant enhancement in catalytic performance in hydrogenation of 2-ethylanthraquinone compared with conventional Pd–Ir nanoparticles. The high activity can be ascribed to high densities of defect sites in Pd–Ir MCs catalyst, which facilitated H 2 activation. In addition, the geometric effect of Pd–Ir MCs catalyst was responsible for inhibiting further hydrogenation of eAQH 2 to undesired consecutive byproducts. Graphical Abstract

A new enantioselective potentiometric sensor containing R-type chiral porous organic cage CC9 as the chiral selector was designed for the assay of 2-aminobutanol. Optimized membrane electrodes displayed a linear dynamic range from 10 −3 ~ 10 −1 mol·L −1 with a detection limit of 2.5 × 10 −4 mol·L −1 and a Nernstian response of 27 ± 0.5mV·decade −1 toward S-2-aminobutanol within the pH range 7.0–10.0. The potentiometric enantioselectivity coefficient ( ) of this sensor was −1.333, indicating that the porous organic cage-based electrode exhibited good discrimination toward S-2-aminobutanol over R-2-aminobutanol.

CaZr(PO 4 ) 2 :Mn 2+ and CaZr(PO 4 ) 2 :Mn 2+ , Sm 3+ phosphors are synthesized by high-temperature solid state reaction method in air. CaZr(PO 4 ) 2 :Mn 2+ phosphor shows green emission and its broad emission band peaking at ~545 nm within the range 470–650 nm is attributed to the 4 T 1 (G) → 6 A 1 ( 6 S) transition of Mn 2+ ion. The optimal Mn 2+ doping concentration is ~5 mol% in CaZr(PO 4 ) 2 :Mn 2+ phosphor. CaZr(PO 4 ) 2 :Mn 2+ , Sm 3+ phosphor with excitation 399 nm emits reddish-orange light, and it shows a systematically varied hue from green to yellow with excitation 405 nm by changing Sm 3+ and Mn 2+ ions concentration. The luminous mechanism of CaZr(PO 4 ) 2 :Mn 2+ , Sm 3+ phosphor is analyzed and explained by the simplified energy level diagrams of Mn 2+ and Sm 3+ ions in CaZr(PO 4 ) 2 :Mn 2+ , Sm 3+ phosphor. The experimental results are helpful to develop new Mn 2+ /Sm 3+ -doped materials.

Flavonoids exhibit a broad range of biological activities. However, poor absorption of some flavonoids is a major limitation for use of flavonoids as nutraceuticals. To investigate the structure requirements for flavonoids intestinal absorption, transepithelial transport and cellular accumulation (CA) of 30 flavonoids were determined using the Caco-2 cell monolayer. The bilateral permeation of five types of flavonoids followed the order: flavanones ≥ isoflavones > flavones ≥ chalcones > flavonols. The concentration of flavonoids accumulated in cells did not correlate with cell penetration since the correlation coefficient between the apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) and their corresponding CA was poor (R2< 0.3). Most flavonoids exhibited a ratio of 0.8–1.5 forPapp A to B/Papp B to A, suggesting passive diffusion pathways. However, luteolin, morin and taxifolin may involve the efflux mechanisms. The quantitative structure-permeability relationship (QSPR) study demonstrated that the intestinal absorption of flavonoids can be related to atomic charges on carbon 3′ (QC3′), molecule surface area (SlogP_V3), balance between the center of mass and position of hydrophobic region (vsurf_ID1) and solvation energy of flavonoids (E_sol). These results provide useful information for initially screening of flavonoids with high intestinal absorption.Keywords:Caco-2;flavonoids;intestinal absorption;permeability;QSPR

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) often leads to metabolic disorders. Hyperchloraemia, a common electrolyte metabolic disorder and caused by excessive intake of chloride-containing acidic agents. Thus, while berberine hydrochloride (BH) elicits a good hypoglycaemic effect, its nearly 10% chloride ion component is a potential hazard for T2D patients. In this study, we prepared four berberine organic acid salts (BOAs), including berberine citrate, berberine malate, berberine succinate, and berberine fumarate. T2D rats were administered BH or BOAs (500 mg/kg d) for 6 weeks. The body weights and levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, and insulin resistance index in administered rats were normal. Levels of Na + , K + , Cl − , HCO 3 − , pH, pCO 2 and ‘ base excess (BE) in BH group showed significant differences compared with normal rats. These results suggest that BOAs are comparable to BH in terms of hypoglycaemic effects, but superior with regard to safety from hyperchloraemia in T2D rats.

The effect of ethanol or acetone, as oil phase solvents, upon the form of paeonol-loaded poly(butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) encapsulated nanocapsules (Pae@PNCs) by interfacial spontaneously polymerization were investigated. Pae@PNCs characterizations including morphology, radius distribution, polydispersity index (PDI), particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency (EE%), drug loading (DL%) and in vitro paeonol release kinetics were evaluated. Results show that 100% acetone have a significant effect on forming nanocapsules, which showed the smaller size (168.3 ± 6.76 nm) under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and one radius distribution by the particle size analyser. The data showed that using 100% acetone to prepare Pae@PNCs was leading to smaller particle size and lower polydispersity index (PDI), higher zeta potential, better EE (%) and perfect DL (%), which is linear decrease in radius (r2 = 0.939) and PDI (r2 = 0.974) and linear increase EE% (r2 = 0.9879) and DL% (r2 = 0.9892) with the acetone concentration (range 10–100% v/v). Paeonol encapsulated into and adhered on PNCs were confirmed by UV–Visible spectra (UV–Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Drug release behavior in vitro showed that 100% acetone as solvents on developing Pae@PNCs have greater advantages in controlling and prolonging paeonol release. Results demonstrated that solvents have a significant influence on forming Pae@PNCs.

By utilizing multispectrosopic techniques, the toxic interaction of 2-aminoanthraquinone (2-AAQ) with calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) was investigated in vitro under simulated physiological conditions. The experimental results proved that 2-AAQ has a toxic interaction with ctDNA. The binding capacity of DNA with 2-AAQ is diminishing as the pH value of system increasing in the optimization of experimental condition. Moreover we selected pH 7.4, which is nearly physiological condition to enhance the practical significance. According to the Stern–Volmer equation, the quenching was the static quenching process. And the quenching constant can be derived from the fluorescence quenching spectrogram. Ultraviolet absorption spectra and the change in the fluorescence intensity at different ionic strengths further indicated that there was electrostatic binding between 2-AAQ and ctDNA. The circular dichroism experiment showed that the DNA conformation varied from B to A conformation. The basic group enhanced after 2-AAQ embedding. The double helix is more compact, and the DNA conformation changes. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J BiochemMol Toxicol 27:272-278, 2013; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com .
