Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a key factor in chemotherapy failure and tumor recurrence. The inhibition of drug efflux and autophagy play important roles in MDR therapy. Herein, a multifunctional delivery system (HA-MIL-125@DVMA) was prepared for synergistically reverse tumor MDR. Tumor-targeted hollow MIL-125-Ti nanoparticles were used to load the doxorubicin–vitamin E succinate (DV) prodrug and 3-methyladenine (3-MA) to enhance reverse MDR effects. The pH-sensitive DV can kill tumor cells and inhibit P-gp-mediated drug efflux, and 3-MA can inhibit autophagy. HA-MIL-125@DVMA had uniformly distributed particle size and high drug-load content. The nanoparticles could effectively release the drugs into tumor microenvironment due to the rapid hydrazone bond-breaking under low pH conditions, resulting in a high cumulative release rate. In in vitro cellular experiments, the accumulation of HA-MIL-125@DVMA and HA-MIL-125@DV in MCF-7/ADR cells was significantly higher than that in the control groups. Moreover, the nanoparticles significantly inhibited drug efflux in the cells, ensuring the accumulation of the drugs in cell cytoplasm and causing drug-resistant cells’ death. Importantly, HA-MIL-125@DVMA effectively inhibited tumor growth without changes in body weight in tumor-bearing mice. In summary, the combination of the acid-sensitive prodrug DV and autophagy inhibitor 3-MA in a HA-MIL-125 nanocarrier can enhance the antitumor effect and reverse tumor MDR.Keywords:hyaluronic acid;metal-organic framework;multidrug resistance;doxorubicin;3-methyladenine

1-3 piezoelectric composites, as materials with integrated structural/functional characteristics, are typically used to manufacture ultrasonic transducers. As a core sensitive element, the structural dimensions as well as the molding quality of the 1–3 piezoelectric array, will directly affect the transducer's operating performance. In this paper, an improved soft mold process is proposed to prepare lead zirconate titanate (PZT) microscale 1–3 piezoelectric arrays by a soft mold combined with UV curing process. Firstly, the rheological behavior of PZT ceramic suspension and the preparation process of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) soft mold were studied. The surface contact angle of the Si master mold modified by trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) was significantly increased, facilitating the peeling of the PDMS soft mold from the Si master mold surface, thus improving the surface quality of the PDMS soft mold. Then, the sintering process, microstructure, and electrical properties of microscale 1–3 piezoelectric arrays were systematically investigated. The perpendicularity and integrity of the piezoelectric arrays were improved by an optimized sintering process, and the arrays had micropillar diameters as small as 8 μm and aspect ratios over 7.5. The electrical properties of the piezoelectric composites with thicknesses of 55 μm and 42 μm were analyzed to obtain their resonant frequencies f s of 33.8 MHz and 41.3 MHz, respectively. The developed novel soft mold process can realize the preparation of microscale 1–3 piezoelectric arrays with fine structure and large aspect ratios, which are expected to fabricate high-frequency ultrasonic transducers.

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are thought of as portable, sustainable, and non-polluting energy devices. The exploration of efficient and affordable catalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is significant for the industrial application of DMFCs. In this study, nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (HCS) derived from polydopamine were proposed for the catalyst support for platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) for serving as the anode catalyst for DMFCs, and a composite support material was fabricated by in-situ oxidation of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT) with HCS to get core-shell structured poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT)-embellished hollow carbon spheres (HCS) (PProDOT/HCS) for further improving the catalytic activity for supported catalyst. The results indicated that the platinum (Pt) on the surface of HCS was well dispersed, and the Pt became smaller and more evenly distributed with the introduction of PProDOT. Simultaneously, the Schottky junction formed between PProDOT and Pt NPs contributes to enhanced charge transfer and catalytic activity of the catalyst. Notably, the core-shell structure of the ternary catalyst, its excellent charge transfer capability, and the interaction between platinum and the support contribute to its high electrocatalytic activity. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that the PProDOT/HCS/Pt catalyst exhibited a mass activity of 1169.6 mA mg −1 Pt for methanol oxidation in acidic electrolytes, surpassing the activity of the HCS/Pt catalyst (472.4 mA mg −1 Pt ) and commercial Pt/C (281.0 mA mg −1 Pt ).

Currently, high optical purity, perfect stability, and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) are very important, being the key to obtain high-quality luminescent materials. The research of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) as optical materials is in full swing. Nevertheless, the low PLQY value, especially for the red-emitting perovskite NCs, is a main obstacle to applications in display. This work reports the optimized components to synthesize CsPb(Br/I) 3 NCs glasses whose PLQY achieves a big boost from 15.4% to ≈ 60% for the first time. Furthermore, the specimens exhibit exceptional tolerance to water and thermal and hence contribute to applicability in high-performance light-emitting diode (LED) and 3D printing. By combining CsPb(Br/I) 3 NCs glass powder and yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG):Ce phosphor with blue chips, the assembled white LEDs reach a high luminous efficiency at 113.0 lm W −1 . The resulting high PLQY is to the benefit of a substantial step toward the practical application of inorganic perovskite materials in the fields of optoelectronic devices and additive manufacturing.

NASICON type KTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 decorated by NTCDA-derived carbon layer (KTP/NC) was prepared as anode material to obtain sustainable lithium/sodium ion storage (LIBs/SIBs). Due to its prominent capacitance, good electronic conductivity and ability to constrain volume, the KTP/NC composite realizes highly electrochemical kinetics both in LIBs and SIBs . For LIBs, the KTP/NC composite delivers a superior reversible capacity of 598.1 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles at 0.5C, impressive cyclability with 225.5 mAh g −1 after 3000 cycles at an ultrahigh current density of 26.1 C and conspicuous rate performance of 160.6 mAh g −1 even at 52.2 C. In addition, the composite has a wide operation-temperature window with favorable capacities of 147.1–372.9 mAh g −1 from −10 °C to 50 °C. As for SIBs, the KTP/NC composite maintains a stable discharge capacity of 112.5 mAh g −1 after 700 cycles at a current density of 2.6 C and conspicuous rate performance of 86.7 mAh g −1 at 5.2 C. The KTP/NC anode exhibits discharge capacities of 29.9–112.6 mAh g −1 from −10 °C to 40 °C. The results demonstrate that the KTP/NC composite would be a promising electrode material for LIBs and SIBs.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been widely used as leading additives for improving the thermoelectric properties of organic materials, due to their unique structure and excellent electronic transport properties. However, the as-synthesized SWNTs are mixtures (mix-SWNT) of semiconducting (sc-SWNT) and metallic (met-SWNT) carbon nanotubes. The significantly different surface character and transport behavior of sc-SWNT and met-SWNT frequently raise the difficulty of modifying microstructures, and tuning transport properties of SWNTs/organic composites, when using mix-SWNTs as dispersion phase. Herein, we prepared high quality sc-SWNTs/rr-P3DDT composite film by presorting pure sc-SWNT from the raw mix-SWNTs using regioregular poly(3-dodecylthiophene) (rr-P3DDT). Both the smoothness and compactness of sc-SWNTs/rr-P3DDT are great improved, as compared with the mix-SWNTs/rr-P3DDT films, and the sc-SWNTs are well-dispersed and uniformly wrapped by rr-P3DDT with diameter less than 50 nm. The significantly enhanced Seebeck coefficients and power factors are obtained in the sc-SWNT/rr-P3DDT samples. As the result, the maximum power factor of 60 μW/mK2in 50 wt% sc-SWNTs sample is 70% higher than that of mix-SWNTs/P3DDT sample. This work reveals the effectiveness of pure semiconductor SWNTs as fillers to optimize the thermoelectric properties of CNT/polymer nano-composites.Keywords:thermoelectric;semiconducting SWNT;poly(3-dodecylthiophene);composite

Excessive phosphate in wastewater can cause eutrophication of water body, which will worsen the ecological environment and threaten human health and biological life safety. Adsorption of phosphate is the most effective way to remove phosphate, and efficient adsorbent is the key. Amorphous La(OH) 3 has been deemed as a potential phosphate adsorbent on account of high adsorption capacity and environmentally friendly property. However, it also shows some disadvantages such as easy agglomeration, poor water dispersion. In this study, UiO-66-NH 2 was used as carrier to load amorphous lanthanum hydroxide as an adsorbent for phosphate removal. The adsorbent (UiO-66-NH 2 @La(OH) 3 , ULCs) has good water dispersibility and it is easy to be separated and recovered. At the same time, the maximum phosphate adsorption capacity can reach 140.7 mg P/g. The adsorption process accords with pseudo second order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model. The thermodynamic results showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. In addition, in the presence of coexisting anions (such as Cl − , SO 4 2− , NO 3 − ), it also exhibited high selectivity and phosphate removal efficiency. Meanwhile, the adsorption capacity keeps at a high level in the range of pH 3–11. By the merit of above-mentioned properties, the prepared material is expected to be an ideal candidate for phosphate removal from contaminated water.

3-Indoleacetic acid (IAA), a broad-spectrum and efficient plant growth regulator , has been widely used in crop production. However, the accumulation of IAA in human body is potentially harmful to the human health. In this work, the binding properties of calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) with IAA and the impacts of IAA on ctDNA conformation were investigated through modern analysis techniques, including multispectroscopic methods, electrophoresis analysis and molecular docking . The results of fluorescence spectra analysis showed that ctDNA can cause significant fluorescence quenching of IAA in a static manner. The binding process was spontaneous and exothermic, which was mainly driven by van der Waals forces , and the binding constant was 5.58 × 10 3 L mol −1 at 25 °C. IAA bound to ctDNA via groove mode as revealed through iodine ion quenching assays, viscosity and melting temperature measurements. The molecular docking and Fourier transform infrared spectra intuitively displayed that IAA tended to bind to the G−C base-pairs of the minor grooves of ctDNA, but this binding did not lead to significant damage of DNA which was confirmed by the circular dichroism and gel electrophoresis analyses. These findings may provide novel insights into the toxic mechanism of IAA.

Cyanidin-3-glucoside is a major anthocyanin in legumes, black rice, and purple potato, and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In the present study, the effect of acylation on cyanidin-3-glucoside lipophilicity, stability, and antioxidant capacity was investigated. Cyanidin-3-glucoside was enzymatically acylated through transesterification with fatty acid esters to produce three monoacylated cyanidin-3-glucoside esters, cyanidin-3-(6″- n- octanoyl)-glucoside, cyanidin-3-(6″-lauroyl)-glucoside, and cyanidin-3-(6″-myristoyl)-glucoside. Cyanidin-3-(6″- n- octanoyl)-glucoside had the highest thermostability and photostability of the three cyanidin-3-glucoside esters. While the in vitro antioxidant activity of cyanidin-3-(6″- n- octanoyl)-glucoside was 7.5%–14.3% lower than that of cyanidin-3-glucoside ( p < 0.05), its cellular antioxidant activity increased by 33.3% ( p < 0.05). Further, while cyanidin-3-(6″-lauroyl)-glucoside had lower stability and in vitro antioxidant activity than that of cyanidin-3-(6″- n- octanoyl)-glucoside, its cellular antioxidant capacity was 125.9% and 69.4% higher than cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-(6″- n- octanoyl)-glucoside, respectively ( p < 0.05). This study demonstrated that transesterification can be used to improve the stability and in vivo antioxidant activity of cyanidin-3-glucoside.

In this work, by functionalizing MoS2 quantum dot with 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid, a novel multifunctional quantum dot (denoted as B-MoS2 QD) was obtained and used successfully for a fluorescence nanoprobe for detecting o-dihydroxybenzene (o-DHB). Transmission electron microscopy, fluorescence spectrum, UV-vis spectrum and fluorescence lifetime were used to investigate the prepared nanoprobe. The results show that the B-MoS2 QD nanoprobe can exhibit strong fluorescence and excellent light fastness owing to the coupled effect from the MoS2 QDs and boronic acid; interestingly, the vicinal diols structure from its surface can bridge covalently with o-DHB, resulting in the fluorescence quenching of B-MoS2 QDs and selective recognition toward o-DHB. With the increasing of o-DHB concentration, the nanoprobe fluorescence would gradually decrease. By measuring the fluorescence intensity of B-MoS2 QDs, a wide linear range from 0.1 to 200.0 μM with a low detection limit of 0.025 μM was obtained for o-DHB analysis; meanwhile, this fluorescence nanoprobe possesses excellent selectivity for the selective detection of o-DHB from its analogues.

3-Pyridinylboronate, a zwitterionic boronic acid, displayed effective in situ ESI for reversible covalent tagging of saccharides in both cation and anion modes. The ion mobilities of thus-generated ions were examined with the Bruker timsTOF fleX instrument. Nine disaccharides were examined using this method. They have identical mass-to-charge ratios, differing only in monomer compositions, regio-linkages, and anomeric configurations (α or β). The IMS separations of the disaccharides from this method were compared with those from sodium adducts reported in the literature. The differentiation effects of this method on the disaccharide isomers were increased on average by an order of magnitude. Using this method, all the pairs of disaccharides selected from nine isomers were completely identified by comparing the mobility spectra of single-tagged and double-tagged ions.

Barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) has been used as a bone implant material because of its piezoelectric properties and the ability to promote cell growth when combined with hydroxyapatite. However, the brittleness of BaTiO 3 inhibits its use as a bone replacement material at load-bearing sites, and the reduction of BaTiO 3 content in the composite reduces its piezoelectric effect on bone growth. In this study, we explored a preparation method, which included directional freeze casting and self-solidification of bone cement, to obtain 1-3-type BaTiO 3 /PMMA bio-piezoelectric composites with a lamellar structure. The lamellar BaTiO 3 layer through the composite from the bottom to the top significantly improved the piezoelectric properties of the composite. In addition, the dendritic ceramic bridges on the BaTiO 3 pore walls can improve the compressive strength and elastic modulus of BaTiO 3 /PMMA bio-piezoelectric composites with a lamellar structure. More importantly, it was found that polarized lamellar BaTiO 3 could induce osteoblasts to grow in the direction of the BaTiO 3 layers. When the width of the BaTiO 3 layer was in the range of 8–21 μm, osteoblasts along the BaTiO 3 layer showed well growth, which can be of great value for the production of biomimetic bone units.
