Graphical Enhanced conductivity : Al−PMOF−Cu−PPy are obtained through metallization of the porphyrin linkers followed by polymerization of pyrrole, which exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity for CO 2 reduction. DFT calculations reveals the electron interaction between the polypyrrole and the MOFs can narrow the band gap, promote the electron transition and thus enhance the photocatalytic activity. Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction to valuable fuels is highly desirable to alleviate global warming and energy crisis. Herein, a stable aluminum-porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) named Al−PMOF, with wide spectral response, is selected as platforms for the construction of efficient photocatalyst to convert CO 2 into CO. To enhance the activity of pristine Al−PMOF, highly active reaction sites are introduced through metallization of the porphyrin linkers with Cu 2+ . Furthermore, the polymerization of pyrrole in the channel of MOFs is also performed to improve the electron conductivity and narrow the band gap. The polypyrrole offers the conductive network to transfer the light-generated electrons and thus enhances the efficient charge separation. The calculated electronic density of states based on the density functional theory (DFT) further prove the electron interaction between the polypyrrole and the MOFs, which benefit the enhancement of photocatalytic performance of Al−PMOF.

Introduction Lonicera japonica flos, a well-known herbal medicine in Asian countries, has been widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The gut microbiota and relevant metabolites have been shown to be involved in the development of T2D. This study was designed to investigate the effects of Lonicera japonica flos on fecal microbiota from humans with T2D using the Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME) system. Methods An aqueous extract of Lonicera japonica flos (LJE) was prepared. Colorimetry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to analyze the chemical composition of LJE. Three colonic compartments of SHIME were inoculated with feces from T2D donors , and LJE was added to SHIME to simulate daily oral administration for 7 days. The microbial community and the concentrations of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) of colonic samples were analyzed by 16 S rRNA sequencing technology and gas chromatography , respectively. In addition, polyphenols in LJE before and after fermentation by fecal microbiota were measured using HPLC. Results LJE is rich in polyphenols and polysaccharides and alters the microbial community, as indicated by the decreased relative abundance of the detrimental genera Shigella and Lactobacillus and the increased abundance of SCFA-producing bacteria, including the genera Prevotella and Bacteroides . LJE significantly promoted SCFA production, including acetic, propionic, and butyric acids , in each colonic compartment. Furthermore, chlorogenic acid in LJE was biotransformed by fecal microbiota. Conclusions LJE exerted beneficial regulation on the T2D fecal microbial community. The regulatory effects of gut microbiota may partly contribute to the therapeutic action of Lonicera japonica flos on T2D.

Black rice displays a series of properties including regulating lipid metabolism and attenuating liver injury. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of Zixiangnuo black rice (ZG), peeled rice (ZPG), rice bran (ZBG) on lipid metabolism, liver inflammation, gut microbiota and metabolite profiles in high-fat/cholesterol (HFCD) diet mice. A total of five treatment groups were fed a normal control diet or a HFCD with or without Highland barley (HB) supplementation for 10 weeks. The results showed that ZBG significantly improved lipid parameters, liver function and injury and blood glucose indexes related to hyperlipidemia compared with HFCD group. ZBG recovered the disorder of gut microbiota by increasing Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio and Lactobacillus abundance, and decreasing Proteobacteria abundance. ZBG enhanced the levels of six short chain fatty acids . Fecal metabolomics analysis showed that the important differential metabolites between ZBG and HFCD group were Deoxycholic acid and Myclobutanil , and metabolic pathways were Arachidonic acid metabolism and ABC transporters. Results suggested that BR or bran were effective dietary candidates to ameliorate hyperlipidemia.

An acid-sensitive carbon dot fluorescence sensing array was investigated for the differentiated recognition of distilled spirits. Due to the electrostatic interactions between CDs and organic acids, organic acids affect the protonation and fluorescence properties of CDs, which in turn modify the CDs triple fluorescence emission. The regular linear variation of the fluorescence sensor was found under acidic conditions (3.0 < pH < 6.2). A comprehensive study of acids with selectivity, different concentrations (0.1 mM, 1 mM, 10 mM, 40 mM), different types (8 species) and mixed acids (formic acid and acetic acid), and good quantification capability for acetic acid (0.01–1 mM). Demonstrating good recognition ability of the sensor array for complex analyte. On this basis, the fluorescence sensor array was applied to the classification and recognition of liquors. LDA has realized the identification of 16 kinds of Baijiu and 21 kinds of distilled liquors with an accuracy of 100%.

Tibetan highland barley fiber (T-Fiber) contains high dietary fiber (DF) and beta-glucose. Highland barley has been shown to reduce the risk of diseases associated with high-fat diets (HFD). In the present research, we studied whether T-Fiber could ameliorate HFD-induced obesity in mice and explored its regulatory effects on intestinal microbes . Our findings revealed that T-Fiber feeding significantly reduced weight gain and dyslipidemia , improved glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, alleviated chronic systemic inflammation, and increased short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in feces in mice. Histological observations confirmed that T-Fiber alleviated Epididymal fat (EF) and lipid accumulation in the liver. In addition, 16s rRNA sequencing analysis of mice cecum contents showed that T-Fiber restored the HFD-induced gut microbiota. T-Fiber supplementation increased the abundance of potentially beneficial bacteria Muribaculaceae , Akkermansiaceae , and Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_groups , while significantly reducing the abundance of Bacteroidaceae , Prevotellaceae , Rikenellaceae , and Alloprevotella . Furthermore, the increase in the production of SCFA may be related to the abundance of Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group . In conclusion, T-Fiber has some anti-obesity abilities under high-fat feeding and can be developed as a relevant anti-obesity product.

(CCF), as an extensively used traditional Chinese medicine , has therapeutic effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. Aim of the study This study aims to reveal the mechanism of action of CCF via the gut-brain axis, and provide a new strategy for the clinical treatment of AD. Materials and methods APP swe /PS1ΔE9 mice were used as AD models, and were given CCF extract by intragastric administration. Barnes maze was used to test the therapeutic effect of CCF on the treatment of AD. To reveal the mechanism of action of CCF in the treatment of AD, Vanquish Flex UHPLC-orbitrap fusion lumos mass was chosen to detect endogenous differential metabolite; MetaboAnalyst 5.0 was applied to derive relevant metabolic pathways; similarly, to explore the effects of CCF on the gut-brain axis, Vanquish Flex UPLC-Orbitrap fusion lumos mass was utilized to detect the changes in the content of SCFAs in AD mice after CCF administration; the prototype components and metabolites in CCF were identified by UPLC/ESI/qTOF-MS, then their effects on Bifidobacterium breve were explored. Results CCF shortened the latency time of AD mice, improved the target quadrant ratio of AD mice, and made the maze roadmap simpler of AD mice; CCF regulated fifteen potential metabolites of AD mice, interestingly, ILA (indole-3-lactic acid) in SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids) was also included; CCF acted on histidine and phenylalanine metabolic pathways of AD mice; CCF increased the contents of acetic acid and ILA in AD mice; magnoflorine , jatrorrhizine , coptisine , groenlandicine, thalifendine , palmatine , berberine , epiberberine, hydroxylated jatrorrhizine, and 3-methoxydemethyleneberberine in CCF were detected in fecal samples of AD mice; magnoflorine, palmatrubine, 13-methylberberine, berberine, coptisine, and palmatine promoted the growth of Bifidobacterium breve. Conclusions: we have demonstrated that CCF acts on the gut-brain axis by regulating SCFAs to treat AD.

Depolymerized konjac glucomannan (KGM) had better health benefits than natural KGM. Oxidation and enzyme-hydrolysis were two effective ways to prepare depolymerized KGM. Oxidized KGM (OKGM) and enzyme-hydrolyzed KGM (EKGM) varied in molecular structures, verified by nuclear magnetic resonance and atomic force microscope. The differences in chemical structure definitely influenced the fermentability of depolymerized KGM. Herein, effects of OKGM on in vitro fecal fermentation was investigated, comparing with EKGM at approximately same molecular weights. During fermentation, OKGM groups displayed slightly lower reducing sugar concentrations and higher residual carbohydrate contents than EKGM groups. After fermentation, OKGM groups produced more acetic acids and propionic acids than EKGM groups, while EKGM groups generated more butyric acids than OKGM groups. Meanwhile, relative abundances of the Firmicutes and Lactobacillus in OKGM groups were higher, while relative abundances of the Actinobacteria , Fusobacteria and Bacteroides was higher in EKGM groups. OKGM and EKGM differed in modulating gut microbiota.

Nutritional status monitoring plays an important role in the maintenance of human health and disease prevention. Monitoring the intake of vitamins can support the improvement of diet behavior. In this work, a polyaniline (PANI) film-based nonenzymatic electrochemical sensor was prepared to track the vitamin C level in sweat. The PANI film was modified with organic acids (ethylformic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, and phytic acid). The phytic acid-modified PANI film based on sensor has a wide detection range (0.5–500 μmol·L–1), high sensitivity (665.5 and 326.2 μA·(mmol·L–1)−1·cm–2), and low detection limit (0.17 μmol·L–1) toward vitamin C in sweat. The phytate enhances the band transport between PANI chains, which increases the electrical conductivity of the film to improve the electrochemical properties of the sensor. In addition, we monitored changes of vitamin C levels in human body after taking vitamin C pills by detecting sweat or saliva. The ability to track the pharmacological profile demonstrates the potential of PANI film-based sensors for applications in personalized nutritional intake and tracking. And a simple and portable vitamin C detection system was developed to improve the practicability of the sensor. This work provides an idea for the application of wearable electrochemical sensing devices in nutrition guidance.

Selective epoxidation and allylic oxidation of cyclohexene were realized in the presence of BEA-Ti and (metallo)porphyrin catalysts. The integration of BEA-Ti and porphyrin H 2 MTPP afforded cyclohexene oxide with excellent selectivity (cyclohexene oxide/ 2-cyclohexen-1-one=85:15). BEA-Ti and metalloporphyrin MnMTPP yielded 2-cyclohexen-1-one with high selectivity (cyclohexene oxide/ 2-cyclohexen-1-one=12:88). Resulting active species involving of (metallo)porphyrin, Ti IV sites and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) promoted the oxidation process of cyclohexene. A possible mechanism resulting in the formation cyclohexene oxide and 2-cyclohexen-1-one was proposed. The outer-sphere effect constructed by (metallo)porphyrin, Ti IV sites and TBHP on the surface of BEA-Ti framework improved the epoxidation and allylic oxidation both in the conversion and selectivity.

To investigate the prebiotic potential of two Laminaria japonica polysaccharide (LJP) fractions with different molecular weights and structures, we conducted in vitro simulated digestion and fermentation with hyperlipidemia-associated human gut microbiota. The results indicated that the LJP fraction with higher molecular weight (HLJP) appeared to have a more complex monosaccharide composition and microstructure than did the LJP fraction with lower molecular weight (LLJP), and both fractions could not be digested by in vitro simulated digestion. After in vitro fermentation, HLJP generated more short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and showed stronger ability to regulate core metabolites. Intriguingly, LLJP is better at promoting the proliferation of Akkermansiaceae, while HLJP is more effective in reducing the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and increasing the content of Bacteroidaceae and Tannerellaceae. The present study indicates that LLJP and HLJP may have probiotic effects through different approaches and these differences may be related to the molecular weight and structure of the polysaccharides.

Methacrolein (MAL) is an important intermediate extensively used in the manufacture of methyl methacrylate and other materials (polymers and resins). In this study, a series of secondary amines/acids were explored as catalysts for the condensation of formaldehyde and propionaldehyde to prepare MAL. It was found that the structure of the amines and acids directly affected the yield of MAL. The effect of the catalyst was closely related to the nucleophilicity of the amines as well as the steric hindrance effect, while acids also played a role as co-catalysts. Dibutylamine acetate was selected as the catalyst after investigation. The catalytic performance of the system was systematically studied by a series of single-factor experiments, including stirring rate, temperature, reaction time, acid/amine ratio, and the solvent, and the optimized reaction conditions were obtained. In the optimum condition, the yield of MAL was up to 97.3%. Kinetic experiments were performed for the condensation of formaldehyde and propionaldehyde to MAL, and the activation energies, reaction orders, and rate-limiting step of the reaction were determined. The results indicate that the decomposition of the Mannich base is a rate-limiting step.Keywords:methacrolein;aldol condensation;Mannich reaction;kinetics

Exosomes, which can be used to investigate various disease processes, are novel disease markers that have been extensively studied in recent years. In this work, zirconium-rich porphyrin-based porous organic polymers (Imi-Pops-Zr) were synthesized by a facile and low-cost strategy for specific enrichment and isolation of phosphorylated peptides and exosomes. The proposed material demonstrates a low detection limit (0.5 fmol), a high selectivity (bovine serum albumin (BSA): β-casein = 1000:1), and a loading capability of 100 mg/g for phosphopeptides. For complex practical samples, after enrichment with Imi-Pops-Zr, 4 characteristic phosphopeptides from human serum, 20 and 12 phosphopeptides from human saliva and defatted milk were detected, respectively. Besides, 74 phosphorylated peptides with 67 phosphorylation sites belonging to 61 phosphoproteins and 67 phosphorylated peptides with 63 phosphorylation sites belonging to 65 phosphoproteins were detected from the serum of normal controls and uremic patients, respectively. Biological processes, cellular components and molecular functions revealed that interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor, high density lipoprotein and proteases binding may be associated with uremia. Furthermore, Imi-Pops-Zr was successfully used to enrich and isolate exosomes from human serum. The experimental results show that Imi-Pops-Zr has promising application in the specific enrichment of phosphorylated peptides and exosomes in complex bio-samples.
