Cationic peptide chimeric lysins, Lysqdvp001-5aa, Lysqdvp001-10aa and Lysqdvp001-15aa, were designed based on lysin Lysqdvp001 from Vibrio parahaemolyticus ( V. parahaemolyticus ) phage qdvp001. These chimeric lysins showed equivalent peptidoglycan hydrolysis activities with Lysqdvp001 and could lyse the bacteria from the outside. The antibacterial activity as well as outer and inner membrane permeabilization of Lysqdvp001 and chimeric lysins against V. parahaemolyticus were Lysqdvp001-15aa>Lysqdvp001-10aa>Lysqdvp001-5aa>Lysqdvp001. Lysqdvp001-15aa exhibited an excellent antibacterial activity with minimum inhibition and bactericidal concentrations (MIC and MBC) of 0.2 and 0.4 mg/mL, respectively, and its antibacterial spectrum was much broader than phage qdvp001. Membrane hyperpolarization and membrane phospholipid exposure of V. parahaemolyticus were observed after Lysqdvp001-15aa treatments. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) showed Lysqdvp001-15aa destroyed structure integrity of V. parahaemolyticus . Besides, MIC and MBC of Lysqdvp001-15aa decreased V. parahaemolyticus counts in oyster by 3.20 and 4.03 log 10 CFU/g. Lysqdvp001-15aa at MBC eradicated about 50% of V. parahaemolyticus biofilms and inhibited over 90% of the formation of the bacterial biofilms.

Multicarboxy (8, 16) functionalized cage silsesquioxanes were synthesized through the photochemical thiol-ene reaction of octavinylsilsesquioxane with 3-mercaptopropionic acid and mercaptosuccinic acid, respectively. These two cage precursors acted as ligands to coordinate with terbium ion (Tb3+) to obtain two novel hybrid luminescent materials, which exhibited fine luminescent properties and good thermal stabilities. Their morphologies were investigated by XRD, SAXS, SEM, TEM and DLS. And the results showed that self-assembly particle size of the hybrid complex with octacarboxyl cage was larger size than that of cage with 16 carboxyl groups.

In this study, a spent mushroom substrate (SMS) from Lentinus edodes cultivation was used to prepare biochar (BC) and magnetic biochar (MBC) at high temperatures. The magnetic field strength of MBC was proved via VSM analysis. The results of the nitrogen adsorption‒desorption isotherms of BC and MBC showed that MBC exhibited stronger adsorption, and SEM was performed to compare the microstructures of BC and MBC. TEM was performed to compare the distributions of C, O, and Fe. The FT-IR and XRD results revealed changes in the structure and the formation of new substances after magnetization; that is, MBC was more conducive to the adsorption and recovery of pesticides. Moreover, a method for the detection of tetramethrin, beta-cypermethrin, and fenvalerate in water samples (tap water, lake water, and river water) was established, and this method combined the use of MBC as adsorbent and high-performance liquid chromatography. Moreover, great linearity of the method was obtained in the range of 0.5–2.5 μg/mL; the recoveries in real samples were in the range of 70.20–73.32%, and the RSDs were in the range of 0.22–1.09%. The method is simple and effective, is suitable for the detection of pyrethroids in water, and has certain application potential.

ABSTRACT Background The terminal stage of all cardiovascular diseases typically culminates in heart failure (HF), with no effective intervention available to halt its progression. LuQi formula (LQF) has been employed in clinical for numerous years to significantly ameliorate cardiac function in HF patients. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism of LQF's efficacy remains inadequately comprehended. Cardiomyocyte ferroptosis has served as a pathogenic mechanism in HF. The goal of the current experiment was to ascertain whether LQF ameliorates HF by preventing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis and to elucidate the intrinsic mechanism involved. Purpose This research objective is to investigate the impact and underlying mechanism of LQF attenuating cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in heart failure. Methods Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) was performed to construct the HF mouse model. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) were subjected to in vitro experiments. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) identified the bioactive compounds in LQF. Transcriptomic and quantitative proteomic analyses revealed the potential targets of LQF anti-HF. Specifically, histological staining evaluated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observed mitochondrial morphology. The content of Fe 2+ , ROS, MDA, GSH, and GSSH was detected using kits. Molecular docking evaluated the binding activities between essential active ingredients of LQF and critical proteins of cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. Mechanistically, the expression levels of Nrf2, Keap1, HO-1, SLC7A11, and GPX4 were evaluated using qPCR, Western blot (WB), or immunohistochemical staining. Results The primary nine active ingredients in LQF were detected. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses demonstrated that LQF may ameliorate HF by preventing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. Histomorphometric analyses revealed that LQF attenuates myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis. TEM revealed that LQF diminished mitochondrial shrinkage and increased membrane density in myocardial tissue. Additionally, LQF diminished reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in cardiomyocytes and suppressed cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. Furthermore, the molecular docking technique revealed that the primary active ingredients of LQF had suitable binding activities with Nrf2, GPX4, and SLC7A11. Western analysis further verified that LQF activated the Nrf2/GPX4 signaling axis. decreased SLC7A11 and HO-1 expression. Conclusions These results demonstrated that LQF prevents cardiomyocyte ferroptosis via activating Nrf2/GPX4 signaling axis and suppressing SLC7A11 and HO-1 expression. Concurrently, it contributed to elucidating the intrinsic mechanism of LQF and provided a scientific rationale for its development as a novel cardiovascular therapeutic drug.

In this study, innovative Ni-based catalysts supported by five typical slag carriers (magnesium slag (MS), steel slag (SS), blast furnace slag (BFS), pyrite cinder (PyC) and calcium silicate slag (CSS)) were prepared by wet impregnation. With the prepared catalysts and Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst, catalytic reforming of pyrolysis volatiles from pine sawdust for syngas production and tar removal was investigated. The catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD , SEM, TEM and Raman. The catalytic performances of the six catalysts were decreasing in the following order: Ni/MS > Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 > Ni/SS > Ni/BFS > Ni/CSS > Ni/PyC. Ni/MS catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic reactivity as well as thermal stability in terms of tar conversion (95.19%), gas yield (1.46 Nm 3 /kg) and CO 2 capture ability (CO 2 yield of 0.5%). Both amorphous carbon and graphite-type carbon were formed on the catalysts after catalytic reforming and the D/G ratio (the relative intensity ratio of the D-band to the G-band) was positively correlated to the catalytic activity .

In the present study, we found that nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) were biosynthesized by Bacillus wiedmannii MSM ( B. wiedmannii MSM) with endogenous carbon under O 2 condition, and more favorablity under N 2 purging condition. XRD results indicated that crystal planes of Pd-NPs were attributed to Pd 0 (111), Pd 0 (200), Pd 0 (220), and Pd 0 (311), respectively. TEM and STEM-EDX results showed that the bio-reduction of Pd (II) ( k pd,1 =4.799 min −1 ) occurred predominately in periplasm space. FTIR results showed that the -COOH, -OH, and -NH 2 were the main groups participating in the removal of Pd (II). The aerobic reduction of Pd (II) by B. wiedmannii MSM was proposed, including extracellular superoxide radicals produced by NAD(P)H oxidases , endogenous electron donors, and O 2 -insensitive hydrogenase. These studies provide new methods and insights for reduction of Pd (II).

Multifunctional adsorbents based on montmorillonite (Mt) have been of highly concerns due to their unique 2D layer structures and impressive co-adsorption performances. To further enhance the support ability and reactivity, a strategy was developed in this study to enable the co-existence of porous nanosilica (PNS) and hydrophobic interlayer spaces in Mt structure, and a novel multifunctional adsorbent (iron modified-acidified organo-Mt, Fe-AOMt) was then synthesized, aiming to simultaneously remove hydrophobic contaminants , oxyanion contaminants and heavy metals in water. The combination of XRD , FTIR and TEM verified the co-existence of amorphous PNS and layered structure (containing intercalated surfactant) in the acidified organo-Mt (AOMt), and results of STEM-EDX revealed uniform distribution of Fe after the further introduction of Fe hydroxides to AOMt. Additionally, pore structure analyses suggested that the acid activation can obviously increase the pore volume and specific surface area of OMt. Batch adsorption experiments revealed that Fe-AOMt as a promising multifunctional adsorbent was able to effectively and simultaneously remove nitrobenzene , phosphate, and Cd(II) in the multi-contaminant system. The synergetic adsorption of phosphate and Cd(II) on Fe-AOMt suggested the formation of ternary surface complexes (≡Fe–P–Cd), while the pH-independent uptake of nitrobenzene was hardly influenced by adsorption of phosphate and Cd(II), implying dissimilar adsorption mechanisms. The co-adsorption mechanism on Fe-AOMt was further revealed via XPS . Our work provided a novel and efficient Mt-based multifunctional adsorbent with a newly-proposed structure, which was a preliminary exploration of diversifying locations and types of active sites in Mt structure.

In this paper, the microstructure evolution of polymeric carbon nitride was investigated and Au ions was used to improve its photocatalytic efficiency. Their structures were investigated by FT-IR, XPS, XRD , SEM and TEM. Their specific surface area and aperture distribution were measured by BET. Meanwhile, the energy band structure and electron-hole separation efficiency were analyzed by UV–Vis and PL spectroscopy. In addition, the photocatalytic performance of the photocatalysts was assessed by photocatalytic degradation of RhB and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution . The results showed that 600-PCN possessed the best photocatalytic performance, with a degradation rate of 46.92 % in 150 min. What's more, the degradation rate of RhB solution by 2 % Au/PCN reached 47.88 %, which was 2.17 times higher than that of 550-PCN (22.01 %). During the degradation process, h + oxidatively degrade RhB. The hydrogen production rate of 2 % Au/PCN was about 11.658 μmol/g/h, which was 41.23 times higher than that of 550-PCN (0.282 μmol/g/h).

Lewis acidic ionic liquid-loaded Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic catalytic microspheres were prepared. When coupled with persulfate, the microspheres catalytically oxidized and removed dibenzothiophene (DBT) from octane. The microspheres used for catalytic desulfurization were characterized and analyzed by SEM, TEM, FT-IR, VSM, and TG-DTA. The results indicated that the prepared catalytic desulfurization microspheres had a uniform particle size distribution, an overall diameter of 200 nm, and a core diameter of Fe3O4 of about 180 nm. The saturation magnetization of the catalytic desulfurization microspheres was 39.8 emug−1, which allowed them to be rapidly magnetically separated. The optimal experimental conditions were 1.5 g catalyst, 1.2 g PMS (20%) oxidant, 30 °C, an initial sulfur content of 500 ppm, 6.0 g octane, and 3.0 g acetonitrile. Under these conditions, the desulfurization rate reached 98.5% after 25 min, which decreased by about 10% after five recycles. GC-MS analysis indicated the oxidation product was dibenzothiophene sulfone (DBTO2). In the desulfurization mechanism, DBT was first extracted by acetonitrile. Then, in the acetonitrile phase, Co2+ catalyzed hydrogen persulfate to form active oxygen atoms that oxidized DBT and eventually formed DBTO2.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystals have been widely studied for their excellent photoelectric properties. However, the irregular morphologies of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystals have limited application in the field of lighting and display. From this, the regular morphologies of nanospheres, nanorods, nanoplatelets and MAPbBr3 (MA = CH3NH3+) nanocrystals have been synthesized by regulating the type and proportion of auxiliary ligands. The phase evolution, morphology and fluorescent properties were systematically studied by the various instruments of XRD, TEM, PL/UV-vis spectroscopy and fluorescence decay analysis. With the morphologies changing from nanospheres to nanoplatelets, the emission peaks of MAPbBr3 nanocrystals red-shifted, and the lifetimes have increased gradually. The underlying mechanisms were thoroughly investigated and elucidated. On this basis, the role of acid and amine in the synthesis of MAPbBr3 nanocrystals was systematically studied by regulating the ratio of oleic acid and N-octylamine. The fluorescence kinetics of MAPbBr3 nanocrystals were studied by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, and the charge carrier relaxation mechanism was clarified. Furthermore, the effect of temperature on the fluorescence properties of the nanocrystal was investigated in detail. Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystals with morphologies-controlled and excellent fluorescence properties are expected to be widely used in lighting and display fields.

Screening Aβ aggregation inhibitors (AAIs) is important for Alzheimer's disease drug discovery. However, common cellular or biochemical methods are not suitable for high-throughput natural product screening. A gold nanoparticle (GNP) screening method was employed in this study to screen marine fungal crude extracts and pure compounds for quick AAI discovering. The anti-Aβ aggregation activity was further inspected using transmission electron microscopic (TEM) observation, and the interaction between active molecules and different Aβ species was revealed by molecular docking. The results indicated that the fungal extracts DLS2008001(M), BM3T2(M), DLEN2008005(M), TBG1-16(P), and TBG1-13(P) showed activity comparable to the positive control human serum albumin at the concentration of 500 µg/mL; 10 pure compounds also displayed moderate anti-aggregation activity, particularly nidulin, aspergillusidone G, and butyrolactone I. The inspection of anti-Aβ aggregation effect through TEM further demonstrated that extracts TBG1-16(P), DLS2008001(M), and BM3T2(M) dramatically inhibited the formation of Aβ aggregates. Molecular docking displayed low binding energies and key interactions of nidulin, aspergillusidone G, and butyrolactone I, with nine types of Aβ peptides. These findings indicate that the GNP method is efficient in screening AAIs and reveal marine fungal natural products as valuable sources of small molecular AAIs. Graphical GRAPHICAL

In this work, pure NiO, Al-doped NiO, W-doped NiO and a series of Al/W co-doped NiO nanoflowers were successfully prepared through a simple solvothermal method . Various characterization methods, such as XRD , SEM, TEM, HRTEM and XPS , were used to confirm the physical and chemical properties of the sensitive materials in terms of micro-nano structures, compositions and elemental distributions. The as-obtained Al/W co-doped NiO showed a nanoflower structure with an approximate size of ∼ 200 nm. What's more, among six sensors constructed from the sensitive materials, the sensor based on 3 at% Al 3+ /3 at% W 6+ co-doped NiO (3Al3W-NiO) achieved the highest response (R g /R a =112) toward 100 ppm triethylamine with a low detection limit (1 ppm) at 325 ℃. Besides, this sensor also exhibited excellent response/recovery characteristics and long-term stability. These favorable sensing performances of the 3Al/3 W co-doped NiO sensor are not only modulated by the initial resistance (R a ), but are also closely related to the large specific surface area , porous structures , low crystallinity , rich oxygen vacancies and high Ni 3+ /Ni 2+ ratio in the composite nanomaterials.
