BaClxFyas well as BaF2and BaClF catalysts were prepared by solid-state reaction at room temperature with Ba(OH)2as the precursor and NH4F/NH4Cl as the F and Cl sources. The catalysts were applied for the dehydrochlorination of 1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane to vinylidene fluoride at 350 °C. The industrial manufacture of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) is carried out at 600–700 °C, whereas the BaClxFycatalysts provided a promising pathway to produce VDF at much lower temperatures. Unfortunately, the selectivity of VDF over BaF2decreased from 94% to 84% along with the deactivation of the BaF2catalyst monotonically. In the presence of small amounts of Cl in BaF2, stabilized selectivity was achieved. Over BaCl0.05F0.95, BaCl0.1F0.9and BaCl0.25F0.75, no decrease in VDF selectivity was observed. Clearly, the presence of small amounts Cl during solid-state preparation inhibited the growth of BaF2crystalline significantly. Far smaller particles were achieved. The particle size, or more precisely, the crystal size of the barium catalyst played a major role in the catalytic performance. In addition to the crystal growth, the presence of small amounts of Cl during catalyst preparation changed the chemical state of Ba, and therefore the adsorption and activation of the C–Cl bond for HCFC-142b were altered.Keywords:barium chlorofluoride;catalytic pyrolysis;barium fluoride;dehydrochlorination;1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane;vinylidene fluoride

Polymyxin resistance is conferred by MCR-1 (mobile colistin resistance 1)-induced lipopolysaccharide (LPS) modification of G − bacteria. However, the peptide MSI-1 exerts potent antimicrobial activity against mcr-1 -carrying bacteria . To further investigate the potential role of MCR-1 in improving bacterial virulence and facilitating immune evasion, and the immunomodulatory effect of peptide MSI-1, we first explored outer membrane vesicle (OMV) alterations of mcr-1 -carrying bacteria in the presence and absence of sub-MIC MSI-1, and host immune activation during bacterial infection and OMV stimulation. Our results demonstrated that LPS remodelling induced by MCR-1 negatively affected OMV formation and protein cargo by E. coli . In addition, MCR-1 diminished LPS-stimulated pyroptosis but facilitated mitochondrial dysfunction, further aggravating apoptosis in macrophages induced by OMVs of E. coli . Similarly, TLR4-mediated NF-κB activation was markedly alleviated once LPS was modified by MCR-1. However, peptide MSI-1 at the sub-MIC level inhibited the expression of MCR-1, further partly rescuing OMV alteration and attenuation of immune responses in the presence of MCR-1 during both infection and OMV stimulation, which can be exploited for anti-infective therapy.

Atomic-level manufacturing enables the bottom-up fabrication of nanomaterials with tailored structures and properties. Clusters with atomic precise structures can be used as superatom building blocks to construct superstructures with exceptional properties beyond their individual properties. However, the programmable and large-scale synthesis of cluster assemblies remains challenging. This protocol describes the detailed experimental procedures for the modular assembly of polyoxometalate (POM) clusters into subnanomaterials by programmable interactions under simple and mild conditions. In this approach different types of POM clusters (0.7–1.8 nm in size) are coated with quaternary ammonium or oleylamine ligands using either two-phase or solvothermal methods. The assembly process depends on the interactions between atom clusters, ligands and the reaction matrix, all of which can be modified to generate a library of subnanometer superstructures. The four intercluster connection modes are metal cation-induced coordinative connection, anion bridged covalent connection, synergistic noncovalent interaction and cluster–nucleus co-assembly. A library that includes single-cluster nanowires, clusterphenes and nanosheets with single-cluster thicknesses, can be prepared within 3–12 h. Owing to their ultrahigh surface atom ratio and electron delocalization, the resulting subnanometer POM assemblies with rich structural and compositional diversity exhibit excellent properties and application potential in terms of mechanics, catalysis and chirality. This procedure is suitable for users with prior expertise in the synthesis of inorganic and cluster-based nanomaterials.

Purpose Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising anticancer treatment that involves inducing thermal ablation and enhancing antitumor immune responses. However, it is difficult to completely eradicate tumor foci through thermal ablation alone. Additionally, the PTT elicited antitumor immune responses are often insufficient to prevent tumor recurrence or metastasis, due to the presence of an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Therefore, combining photothermal and immunotherapy is believed to be a more effective treatment approach as it can modulate the immune microenvironment and amplify the post-ablation immune response.Methods Herein, the indoleamine 2, 3‐dioxygenase‐1 inhibitors (1-MT) loaded copper (I) phosphide nanocomposites (Cu3P/1-MT NPs) are prepared for PTT and immunotherapy. The thermal variations of the Cu3P/1-MT NPs solution under different conditions were measured. The cellular cytotoxicity and immunogenic cell death (ICD) induction efficiency of Cu3P/1-MT NPs were analyzed by cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry in 4T1 cells. And the immune response and antitumor therapeutic efficacy of Cu3P/1-MT NPs were evaluated in 4T1-tumor bearing mice.Results Even at low energy of laser irradiation, Cu3P/1-MT NPs remarkably enhanced PTT efficacy and induced immunogenic tumor cell death. Particularly, the tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) could help promote the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and antigen presentation, which further activates infiltration of CD8+ T cells through synergistically inhibiting the indoleamine 2, 3‐dioxygenase‐1. Additionally, Cu3P/1-MT NPs decreased the suppressive immune cells such as regulatory T cells (Tregs) and M2 macrophages, indicating an immune suppression modulation effect.Conclusion Cu3P/1-MT nanocomposites with excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and immunomodulatory properties were prepared. In addition to enhanced the PTT efficacy and induced immunogenic tumor cell death, it also modulated the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Thereby, this study is expected to offer a practical and convenient approach to amplify the antitumor therapeutic efficiency with photothermal-immunotherapy.

Zinc coordinated 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (Zn-HEDP) film was fabricated on steel surface by coordination self-assembly method. The surface morphology and chemical composition of Zn-HEDP film were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and the structural and valence state of Zn-HEDP film was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion resistance of Zn-HEDP film in 3.5wt% NaCl solution was investigated by using potentiodynamic polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The experimental results show that Zn-HEDP film is in a smooth surface with disturbed nanoparticles. The protection efficiency of Zn-HEDP film to steel in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution is firstly increased and then decreased with the increasing of zinc concentration, pH value and assembly time. The optimum preparation conditions for Zn-HEDP film are the zinc concentration of 10 mmol/L, pH value of 5.0 and assembly time of 30 min, under which the protection efficiency of film is reached to 95.79 %. The coordination between zinc ions and HEDP can effectively increase the binding energy with Q235 steel. Zinc ions can improve the compactness and thickness of Zn-HEDP films as bridging agents, which prevent Q235 steel from corrosive solution.

The Ca2+ sensor synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) plays an essential function in synaptic exocytosis. Recently, Syt1 has been implicated in synaptic vesicle priming, a maturation step prior to Ca2+-triggered membrane fusion that is believed to involve formation of the ternary SNARE complex and require priming proteins Munc18-1 and Munc13-1. However, the mechanisms of Syt1 in synaptic vesicle priming are still unclear. In this study, we found that Syt1 stimulates the transition from the Munc18-1/syntaxin-1 complex to the ternary SNARE complex catalyzed by Munc13-1. This stimulation can be further enhanced in a membrane-containing environment. Further, we showed that Syt1, together with Munc18-1 and Munc13-1, stimulates trans ternary SNARE complex formation on membranes in a manner resistant to disassembly factors NSF and α-SNAP. Disruption of a proposed Syt1/SNARE binding interface strongly abrogated the stimulation function of Syt1. Our results suggest that binding of Syt1 to an intermediate SNARE assembly with Munc18-1 and Munc13-1 is critical for the stimulation function of Syt1 in ternary SNARE complex formation, and this stimulation may underlie the priming function of Syt1 in synaptic exocytosis.

A new fluorescent copolymer, poly(1-vinylimidazole- co -(1-pyrene) methyl 2-methyl-2-propenote) (VI- co -PyMMP), has been designed and synthesized by a free-radical copolymerization of VI and PyMMP as well as characterized using ultraviolet (UV), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1 H NMR, and fluorescence spectroscopies. The monomer reactivity ratios are determined by two methods of Fineman-Ross ( r 1 = 0.28 ± 0.04 for VI, r 2 = 1.32 ± 0.11 for PyMMP) and Kelen-Tüdös ( r 1 = 0.23 ± 0.05, r 2 = 1.22 ± 0.12). Based on the reactivity ratios, the monomer sequence lengths and Q and e for PyMMP monomer are further calculated. The results suggest that the copolymerization of VI and PyMMP is a nonideal copolymerization without an azeotropic point (i.e., r 1 < 1, r 2 > 1 and r 1 r 2 < 1) and has a low alternation tendency. The conclusions drawn in this work may not only direct the later synthesis of the copolymers but also enrich the database of free-radical copolymerization. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A leveler containing quaternary ammonium cations, namely poly (1-vinyl imidazole co 1, 4-butanediol diglycidyl ether) (VIBDGE) was synthesized and studied in this work. Quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulation of VIBDGE were employed to get insight to the adsorption model by assessing the molecular configuration and electronic orbital parameters. The simulation results reveal that VIBDGE will spontaneously absorb on the copper surface because of its tiling way, the generated nitrogen ions and the large molecular volume of VIBDGE. Galvanostatic measurements (GMs) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests were performed to investigate the electrochemical behaviors of VIBDGE and its synergistic mechanism with other additives. The results of GMs demonstrate VIBDGE exhibits good inhibiting performance in copper deposition. However, the reactant, namely 1-vinyl imidazole and 1, 4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, have no inhibition effect. Additionally, GMs results show that adsorption competition between bis-(sodium sulfopropyl)-disulfide (SPS) and VIBDGE is kinetically controlled and a steady state can be achieved regardless of the injection order of additives. The steady potential at lower rpm is less polarized and thus very beneficial for achieving uniform plating of through-hole (TH). The CV testes show that VIBDGE is capable of inhibiting copper deposition in the absence of chloride ions and chloride ions have a synergistic effect with VIBDGE. In addition, VIBDGE and PEG have competitive adsorption in copper deposition process . Consistent with the results of the GMs, the CV results illustrate that in the VIBDGE-SPS-PEG-Cl - system, the amount of copper deposited in the center of TH is more than that of the surface. Through the results of electroplating, it is confirmed that VIBDGE-SPS-PEG-Cl - system significantly improves the throwing power which is in accordance with simulation and electrochemical experiments.

Legumains belonging to C_13 peptidase family of proteins, and are ubiquitously disseminated among all vertebrate and invertebrate organisms, and have been implicated in innumerable biological and cellular functionality. Herein, we characterized and evaluated immunoregulatory characteristics of Legumain-1 from Fasciola gigantica (Fg-LGMN-1) during its interaction with host immune cells . The isopropyl-ß-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) stimulated RFg-LGMN-1 protein was positively detected by rat serum containing anti-RFg-LGMN-1 polyclonal antibodies . Furthermore, the uptake of RFg-LGMN-1 by goat monocytes was successfully confirmed using Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA). The immunohistochemical analysis revealed the native localization of LGMN-1 protein on the periphery and internal structures such as suckers, pharynx, and genital pore of the adult parasite, thereby validating its presence in excretory-secretory (ES) products of F. gigantica . The RFg-LGMN-1 co-incubated with concanavalin-A (Con-A) stimulated the increase of interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-10, and IL-17 in monocytes derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in the concentration-dependent manner. However, the IL-4 cytokine in response to the RFg-LGMN-1 protein declined. These results illuminated the role of LGMN-1 during the parasite-host interface. Our findings elaborated additional evidence that Legumain protein play a role in the manipulating host immune responses during parasite infections. However, further evaluation of RFg-LGMN-1 protein in context of its immunomodulatory roles should be conducted to enhance our understandings of the mechanisms employed by F. gigantica to evade host immune responses.

Seizure is associated with pathological changes of hippocampus, but the mechanism by which hippocampal neuronal apoptosis promotes epilepsy is unclear. Our previous study showed that the expression of NHE-1 was increased in epileptic model rats. Therefore, this study further explores the effect of NHE-1 on hippocampal cells apoptosis and seizure in lithium chloride-pilocarpine epileptic model rats. First, we established a lithium chloride-pilocarpine induced epileptic rat model and detected the expression of NHE-1, calpain1 and apoptosis in the hippocampus. Then, we further down-regulated NHE-1 to observe the expression of calpain1 and apoptosis in the hippocampus, as well as its effect on seizures in rats. We found that the expression of NHE-1 and calpain1 and apoptosis in the hippocampus was significant increased in the model group. After down-regulating NHE-1, the expression of calpain1 was decreased, and hippocampal cell apoptosis was alleviated. In addition, down-regulation of NHE-1 reduced the frequency and duration of seizures in epileptic rats. Therefore, hippocampal NHE-1 overexpression is closely related to the development of neuronal apoptosis in a rat model of epilepsy, and downregulating NHE-1 expression can reduce cell apoptosis. Moreover, the NHE-1/calpain1 signaling pathway may be an important mechanism leading to hippocampal cell apoptosis.

The mole fraction solubility of 1-[4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethenone (1-HPE) in twelve mono-solvent systems namely “2-methoxyethanol (2-ME), methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), butan-1-ol ( n -BuOH), 2-propoxyethanol (2-PE), propan-2-ol ( i -PrOH), 2-methylpropan-1-ol ( i -BuOH), Acetonitrile (MeCN), ethane-1,2-diol (EG), 2-ethoxyethanol (2-EE), propan-1-ol ( n -PrOH), 2-butoxyethanol (2-BE)” were determined from 283.15 K to 323.15 K under 0.1 MPa. The experimental solubility order follows: 2-ME > 2-EE > 2-PE > 2-BE > MeOH > EtOH > n -PrOH > i -PrOH ≈ n -BuOH > i -BuOH ≈ MeCN > EG. The UNIQUAC model, modified Apelblat model, NRTL model, Wilson model, Jouyban model and NRTL-SAC model equation were used to correlate of 1-HPE solubility, and the average 10 4 RMSD of them was 0.89, 1.21, 0.94, 4.72, 0.60 and 1.25, respectively. Furthermore, Hansen solubility parameters analysis (HSP) was used to evaluate the miscibility of 1-HPE in the selected solvents. Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis was performed to discuss the electrostatic features and the patterns of intermolecular interactions of 1-HPE. Thermodynamic properties (Δ mix G , Δ mix S , Δ mix H , Δ dis G , Δ dis S , Δ dis H ) were calculated by the UNIQUAC model. The calculated results indicated that the dissolution and mixing process of 1-HPE in the mono-solvents selected in this work was spontaneous and entropy increment.

Liquid-phase catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of 1,2-decanediol (1,2-DDO) to form 1-decanol was performed over various non-noble metal-loaded acidic catalysts, and Cu loaded on amorphous SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 exhibited a high catalytic activity for the formation of 1-decanol. A high 1-decanol selectivity of 84.7% with a complete 1,2-DDO conversion was obtained within only 15 min over the Cu/SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 at 250 °C under 10 MPa H 2 pressure. The temperature at 250 °C and the H 2 pressure higher than 3 MPa were conducive to the efficient production of 1-decanol from 1,2-DDO. In contrast to the previously reported noble metal catalysts, Cu/SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 required a relatively high reaction temperature, while an extremely high 1-decanol productivity of 78 mmol g cat −1 h −1 could be achieved. Meanwhile, the hydrodeoxygenation of 1,2-decanediol over Cu/SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 proceeded via a reaction mechanism in which decanal was formed as the intermediate. In addition, the Cu/SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 catalyst was reusable at least five times without serious deactivation.
