Pseudomonas aeruginosa , a significant opportunistic pathogen, poses a serious threat to food safety due to its antibiotic resistance and strong biofilm-forming ability. In this study, quercetagetin (Que) was identified as a novel quorum sensing (QS) inhibitor. Reporter strain assays, molecular docking, and dynamic simulation indicated that Que acts as an antagonist of the QS receptors. Que attenuated QS-regulated virulence phenotypes in a dose-dependent manner but showed insufficient antibiofilm activity ( p >0.05) at sub-minimum inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC) levels. In contrast, the combination of 0.5 mmol/L Que with 20 mmol/L D-leucine or D-tryptophan exhibited additive effects on planktonic cells, reducing its survival by 2.19–3.97 log compared to the control. For biofilm cells, the combined treatment potentiated the reduction in cell density by 0.48–1.42 log. Notably, these effects were strain-dependent but were equal to or outperformed those of the ε-polylysine (ε-PL) control. Mechanistically, this enhancement was driven by the disruption of biofilm matrix and cell membrane integrity. This was evidenced by the greater suppression of Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) synthesis and virulence phenotypes, alongside substantial reductions in biofilm biomass and roughness and increased in membrane permeability compared to Que. Furthermore, the combination resulted in repression of key enzymes activities (Na + -K + -ATPase and succinate dehydrogenase) by 29%–38%. These changes indicated a promising strategy to control P. aeruginosa and enhance food safety.

A charge transfer dye with the D– π –A structure was synthesized by Pd catalyzed Hartwig–Buchwald coupling and Knoevenagel condensation reaction, using N, N-dihexylbenzo[b]thiophen-6-amine as donor and 2-(3-cyano-4, 5, 5-trimethylfuran-2 (5H)-ylidene)malononitrile (TCF) as acceptor. The solvatochromic and pH switch properties of the as-synthesized dye were investigated through UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra. A positive solvatochromism of the dye in different polar solvents was observed along with a visible color change of the solution. By adding acid/base into the DMSO solution of the dye, the color as well as the absorption and emission spectra of the solution exhibited outstanding characteristics of pH switch.

Composite tissue engineering scaffolds show good comprehensive properties, but improving their interfacial binding force is still a challenge. In this study, polydopamine (PDA) was used as a glue-like layer to solve the interface problem in three-dimensional (3-D) porous hydroxyapatite (HA)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composite scaffolds and to improve their comprehensive properties. The morphology, water absorption, porosity, hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, and cell viability of HA/TPU and PDA/HA/TPU scaffolds were systematically studied. The scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that a uniform PDA coating layer successfully formed on the surface of 3-D porous HA/TPU composite scaffolds by dopamine self-polymerization. Moreover, the conjugation effect occurred between the PDA and HA/TPU matrix, resulting in an increase in the interfacial binding force of the 3-D PDA/HA/TPU scaffold. The hydrophilicity of the PDA/HA/TPU scaffolds was significantly higher than those of the TPU scaffolds. Both static and dynamic mechanical property tests revealed that the PDA/HA/TPU scaffold possessed excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, such as high strength, high stiffness, and good flexibility, due to the enhancement of the interfacial binding force. Compared with TPU and HA/TPU scaffolds, the addition of a PDA coating could effectively improve the attachment and viability of mouse embryonic osteoblasts cells (MC3T3-E1) incubated on PDA/HA/TPU scaffolds. These results indicate that the PDA/HA/TPU scaffolds possess great potential to be used as tissue engineering scaffolds, and that the PDA coating could be a simple, practical, effective, and universal approach to modify composite scaffolds.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising for energy storage. However, Zn anode instability—caused by dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and by-product formation—limits their practical viability. HER, in particular, accelerates Zn consumption, disrupts electrode integrity, and induces local alkalization, exacerbating passivation. Conventional strategies emphasize electrolyte formulation and surface passivation, yet few address the underlying electronic origin of HER on Zn. Here we report a catalysis-inspired strategy that electronically modulates Zn reactivity via d-band center engineering to intrinsically suppress HER. By introducing oxalic acid (OA) as a molecular additive, we achieve a significant downward shift in the Zn d-band center (from –6.896 to –7.062 eV), weakening hydrogen adsorption and fundamentally reducing HER activity. In parallel, OA disrupts the Zn 2+ solvation structure by displacing coordinated SO2– 4 anions, suppressing interfacial by-product formation. These dual effects yield unprecedented performance: Zn||Zn symmetric cells operate stably for over 3500 h; Zn||Cu cells exhibit 99.41% Coulombic efficiency over 1500 cycles; and Zn||I 2 cell retain 92.8% capacity after 10,000 cycles; the 1.3 Ah Zn||I 2 pouch cell presents good cyclability. This work pioneers a surface electronic tuning paradigm in battery design, extending catalytic d-band theory to electrochemical interfaces for HER suppression and interfacial stabilization in aqueous metal batteries.

A simple and direct reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with UV detection was developed and validated for the determination of mono- and di- d -α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS 1000) in TPGS mixture. Before the HPLC analysis, mono- and di-TPGS 1000 were separated by simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography system and characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The mass spectrometric results confirmed that the molar mass distribution of TPGS prepared in our laboratory was very close to that of the product of Eastman Chemical Company with similar n ¯ (average polymerization degree), M n ¯ (number-average molecular weight) and M w ¯ (weight-average molecular weight). The HPLC analysis was carried out on a C30 analytical column with mobile phases comprised of acetonitrile (A) and isopropanol (B) in gradient conditions. Validation of the analytical method was done on the following parameters: system suitability, linearity, limits of detection and quantification, accuracy and precision, method robustness and solution stability. The linearity of the calibration curves for mono- and di-TPGS 1000 from both sources was found to be good ( r 2 > 0.9996). The recovery values were from 94.6% to 103.3% for mono-TPGS, and 93.5% to 103.3% for di-TPGS. This method could be successfully used in the direct quantification of mono- and di-TPGS in TPGS 1000 mixture using TPGS standards with similar molecular mass distributions although derived from different sources.

The demand for Cl 2 is increasing globally, and the chlorine evolution from seawater is a promising technique in the chlor-alkali field to generate chlorine gas. Here, we constructed a novel hollow porous CoNiSe 2 /NiSe 2 nanosheet array for the electrosynthesis of chlorine in seawater-like solution. The CoNiSe 2 /NiSe 2 heterostructures were generated by ion exchange and calcination, which can improve their stability. Moreover, the formed porous hollow nanostructures show an ultra-high specific surface area due to the unique morphology and crystal structure, which can provide channels for mass transfer between the electrolyte and the surface of catalysts and expose more catalytically active sites for accelerating the reaction process. What is impressive is that the hybrid coupling of the Se 4p orbital and the Co/Ni 3d orbital in the heterointerface further reduces the reaction energy barrier of the chlorine evolution reaction (CER). The hollow porous CoNiSe 2 /NiSe 2 nanosheet arrays only exhibit an overpotential of 108 mV to reach the current density of 100 mA cm −2 in an acidic medium containing 4.0 M NaCl. Furthermore, the hollow porous CoNiSe 2 /NiSe 2 nanosheet arrays showed excellent stability and Cl 2 selectivity. The designed transition metal selenides provide a choice for the further development of non-noble metal-based catalysts in the chlor-alkali industry.

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for patients with solid tumors. However, the intricate inflammatory and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment after surgery is recognized as a primary cause of tumor recurrence and metastasis. Here, we design and construct an in situ injectable therapeutic hydrogel encapsulating 1-methyl-d-tryptophan (1-d-MT), a small-molecule competitive inhibitor of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, and meloxicam, a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (Ge1MT/Mel hydrogel) to prevent postoperative tumor metastasis and relapse. In this hydrogel system, 1-d-MT increases cytotoxic T lymphocytes and decreases regulatory T cells, thereby reversing the tumor immune tolerance microenvironment, while released meloxicam reduces inflammation caused by postoperative trauma via the COX-2/PGE2 pathway. When delivered into the resected tumor cavity, the hydrogel system mimics a “hot” tumor-immunity niche to attack residual tumor cells and significantly suppresses the postoperative recurrence of colorectal cancer. In the model of postoperative breast cancer and colorectal cancer recurrence and metastasis, the Ge1MT/Mel hydrogel substantially reduces the volume of recurrent tumors and demonstrates 85.1% and 66.7% inhibition rates of metastases, respectively. Importantly, the Ge1MT/Mel hydrogel markedly stimulates a potent antitumor immune response in the cancer lesion microenvironment, increasing antitumor immune cells including CD8+ T cells, as well as elevating antitumor cytokines such as interferon-γ. Overall, combination immunotherapy via the Ge1MT/Mel hydrogel after surgery represents a promising strategy to minimize residual tumor burden and reduce recurrence risk following tumor resection.

The d electrons largely affect the physicochemical properties
of
transition metal, and its rapid screening is significant to the understanding
and regulation of metal-based materials. In this study, we proposed
an imidazole-anchored naphthalenediamine-based fluorescent probe for
rapid screening of d electrons of transition metal ions. The d electron-regulated
fluorescence quenching is attributed to the fact that d electron number-enhanced
probe-metal binding, which promotes the intramolecular charge transfer
and benefits the face-to-face π–π stacking of the
naphthalene motif. The universality of d electron-regulated fluorescence
is validated by imidazole-anchored phenylenediamine with a smaller
π-electron delocalization system. In addition, the d electron
number-related fluorescence character is applied for the differentiation
of transition metal ions based on a sensor array.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed by metal ions/clusters and organic linkers are used to encapsulate fluorescent guest species with aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effects to enhance fluorescence properties due to their porous structures and high specific surface areas. However, there would be a problem of matching between MOF pores and guest molecules’ sizes. In this paper, amorphous ZIF-8 was modified by carboxyl functional groups (H3BTC-ZIF-8) via introducing the 1,2,4-benzenetricarbonic acid (H3BTC) ligand into the ZIF-8 sol system. Moreover, H3BTC-ZIF-8 was used for the loading of organic fluorescent dyes rhodamine 6G (R6G) and coumarin 151 (C151) to prepare R6G/C151/H3BTC-ZIF-8 composite films. A white-light-emitting composite film (R6G/C151/H3BTC-ZIF-8) with CIE coordinates of (0.323, 0.347) was successfully prepared by compounding fluorescent dyes (R6G and C151) with H3BTC-modified ZIF-8, whose photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) can reach 64.0%. It was higher than the PLQY of the composite films prepared by crystalline ZIF-8 (40.2%) or amorphous ZIF-8 without H3BTC (48.0%) compounded with the same concentrations of dyes. The fluorescence enhancement was probably attributed to an increased amount of active sites of H3BTC-modified ZIF-8 interacting with dyes C151 and R6G. This can form hydrogen bonds between H3BTC-ZIF-8 and C151, and weak electron donor–acceptor (D–A) interactions between H3BTC-ZIF-8 and R6G molecules, respectively, thus enhancing the interactions between dyes and ZIF-8 and reducing the ACQ effect existing between dye molecules. Therefore, this strategy could provide an important guidance to develop white-light-emissive materials.

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) technology offers unique advantages for biomedical applications and non-destructive testing. Unlike X-rays, THz technology does not damage the materials being tested, especially active substances. However, traditional THz-TDS techniques still struggle to distinguish between chiral substances. This study presents a terahertz polarization time-domain spectroscopy system (THz-PTDS) that utilizes a 2 × 2 GaAs photoconductive array to detect the polarization of terahertz waves. This system enables the non-destructive and rapid identification of chiral forms of malic acid and its diethyl ester enantiomers. The results indicated that the polarization parameter curves for both solid and solution forms of malic acid showed significant chiral differences at frequency of 0.6 THz. Moreover, the polarization parameter curve of a malic acid diethyl ester-ethanol solution displayed significant chiral differences at 0.93 THz, while the pure malic acid diethyl ester showed significant chiral differences at 1.013 THz. Furthermore, the rotation direction of the polarization ellipse at the corresponding THz frequencies can be used to distinguish between enantiomers. This method provides an innovative approach for the rapid identification of chiral enantiomers in food and pharmaceuticals, with significant application prospects and potential benefits.

Silicon (Si) is considered as the most promising candidate for anode materials in the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Regulating the morphology and structure of Si plays a vital role in alleviating the volume expansion and improving electronic conductivity. Herein, an ingenious core-shell structure (denoted as CoMOF-D@Si@C) is synthesized by depositing Si uniformly on the pyrolytic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and then encapsulated with a carbon shell. The CoMOF-D@Si@C exhibits excellent rate capability and cycle performance, which delivers a high-rate capability of ~957 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 and a reversible capacity of 1493 mAh g −1 after 400 cycles. In particular, the capacity is maintained at 648 mAh g −1 after 1200 cycles at a high current density of 4 A g −1 with a rapid increase of the Coulombic efficiency (CE) to 99.8% after only 5 cycles and the average CE (99.7%) in the whole cycling at 4 A g −1 . Profiting from the outer carbon shell, uniform Si deposition and inner porous pyrolytic MOF structure, this architecture can maintain structural stability and provide constructive conductivity during cycling processes. The superior electrochemical performance of the CoMOF-D@Si@C composite makes it a promising anode material for LIBs.
