Amino-functionalized silica has attracted a great deal of interest due to its high surface reactivity and potential for diverse applications across various fields. While the classical co-condensation method is commonly used to synthesize amino-functionalized silica particles, the mechanism of the reaction between (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and tetraethoxysilane under different conditions remains unclear, leading to unexpected self-nucleation or cross-linking between silica particles and consequently hindering rational control over the extent of functionalization. To address this issue, we systematically explored the co-condensation growth mechanism of amino-functionalized silica particles in the Stöber method by investigating the effects of APTES concentration and water content on the hydrolysis and condensation of silanes. The experimental results revealed that APTES could decrease the rate of hydrolysis/condensation, while the moderate water content promoted both the rate of hydrolysis/condensation and the overall quality of the silica particles. Consequently, we successfully demonstrated the rational synthesis of amino-functionalized silica particles with diameters ranging from 213 to 670 nm and a nitrogen content of ≤2.8 wt %. The relationship between the APTES concentration and particle properties exhibited a biphasic trend. At low APTES concentrations (≤2.0 mM), the particle size remained stable while the isoelectric point increased rapidly. Further increasing the APTES concentration from 2.0 to 100.0 mM induced a decrease in particle size due to APTES’s inhibitory effect on silica growth, with nitrogen content continuing to increase even after the isoelectric point remained unchanged. These silica particles, featuring varying surface amino group densities, were utilized as matrices for loading Au nanoparticles. The resulting functionalized particles exhibited distinctive catalytic ability in the reduction of 4-nitroaniline, demonstrating significant potential for applications across various fields.

The worldwide use of chromium(III) picolinate Cr(pic) 3 as nutrition additives has aroused more and more controversies. To reevaluate the safety and validity of Cr(pic) 3 , seven new derivatives Cr(R-pic) 3 (pic = picolinic acid, R = H ( 1 ), 5-Br ( 2 ), 5-CF 3 ( 3 ), 4-Cl ( 4 ), 5-COOH ( 5 ), 3-CH 3 ( 6 ), 5-OH ( 7 ), 3-OH ( 8 )) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction, ESI-MS, IR and elemental analysis. It was found that different substituent group affected physicochemical activities of the complex such as the Fenton-like reaction and oxidation reaction. Especially, –OH group derivatives lose their hydroxyl radical-generation and Cr(VI)-generation abilities comparing with halogen group in tube experiment. Even so, these differences in chemistry properties may be ignored in live cells and animal tests: no obvious cellular damage (MTT assay) and tissue injury (acute toxicity study) were observed for both Cr(pic) 3 and its derivatives. In addition, hypoglycemic activity study indicated that these Cr(III) complexes have no significant influence than CrCl 3 salt on the blood glucose, serum insulin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein of diabetic mice through two months’ study. Therefore, these substituent group is unable to improve the biological activities of Cr(pic) 3 obviously and the validity of Cr(pic) 3 used as a nutrition additives is doubted.

Sodium (Na) super ion conductor (NASICON) structure Na3MnTi(PO4)3 (NMTP) is considered a promising cathode for sodium-ion batteries due to its reversible three-electron reaction. However, the inferior electronic conductivity and sluggish reaction kinetics limit its practical applications. Herein, we successfully constructed a three-dimensional cross-linked porous architecture NMTP material (AsN@NMTP/C) by a natural microbe of Aspergillus niger (AsN), and the structure of different NMTP cathodes was optimized by adjusting different transition metal Mn/Ti ratios. Both approaches effectively altered the three-dimensional NMTP structure, not only improving electronic conductivity and controlling Na+ diffusion pathways but also enhancing the electrochemical kinetics of the material. The resultant AsN@NMTP/C-650, sintered at 650 °C, exhibits better electrochemical performance with higher reversible three-electron reactions corresponding to the voltage platforms of Ti4+/3+, Mn3+/2+, and Mn4+/3+ around 2.1, 3.6, and 4.1 V (vs Na+/Na), respectively. The capacity retention rate is up to 89.3% after 1000 cycles at a 2C rate. Moreover, a series of results confirms that the Na3.4Mn1.2Ti0.8(PO4)3 cathode has the most excellent electrochemical performance when the Mn/Ti ratio is 1.2/0.8, with a high capacity of 96.59 mAh g–1 and 97.1% capacity retention after 500 cycles.

Oncolytic virus ablation of tumor cells has the advantages of high tumor selectivity, strong immunogenicity and low side effects. However, the recognition and clearance of oncolytic viruses by the immune system is the main reason that limits their anti-tumor efficiency. As a highly biosafe and highly modifiable oncolytic virus vector, acrylamide can improve the long-term circulation of oncolytic viruses, but it is limited in its uptake efficiency by tumor cells. Herein, we constructed a N- hydroxymethyl acrylamide -b-(N-3- aminopropyl methacrylamide) -b-DMC block copolymers (NMA-b-APMA-b-DMA, NAD) as an oncolytic virus carrier, which not only improves the long-term circulation of oncolytic viruses in the body but also has excellent loading oncolytic virus stability. The data shows that no obvious difference in the transfection effect of the NAD/Ad complex with or without neutralizing antibody in the medium, which meant that the cationic carrier mediated by NAD/Ad had good serum stability. Only 10 micrograms of NAD carrier are needed to load the oncolytic virus, which can increase the transfection efficiency by 50 times. Cell experiments and mouse animal experiments show that NAD vector can significantly enhance the anti-tumor effect of oncolytic viruses. We hope that this work will promote the application of acrylamide as an oncolytic virus vector and provide new ideas for modification methods of acrylamide for biomedical applications.

Organosilicon-coated carbon dots (OSiCDs) microspheres were synthesized by one-step solvothermal method in which phenylenediamine-derived CDs were encapsulated by organosilicon network structure to achieve blue, yellow and red emissive solid-state fluorescent powder. The influence of the three isomers of phenylenediamine on the solid-state fluorescence of OSiCDs microspheres were characterized in detail. Furthermore, the fluorescence stability of three kinds of OSiCDs microspheres were measured and exhibited excellent stability, which facilitate the acquisition and preservation of fingerprint patterns. The OSiCDs microspheres used as a fluorescence developer were further applied to capture the latent fingerprints (LFPs) on different substrate surfaces. The results indicate that the OSiCDs microspheres can efficiently eliminate background interferences of challenging surfaces, such as multicolored or patterned substrates, and the identified LFPs have clear patterns with high-resolution fluorescence, enabling fluorescent fingerprint recognition at three levels (core, hole, island, and fork). The as-prepared OSiCDs microspheres show great promise in practical application scenarios for fingerprint development.

Greenlight is a sensitive band of the human eye, improving the luminous quality of the green part is crucial to the performance improvement of LED. However, the application prospects for Tb 3+ are greatly limited by its 4f-4f forbidden transition. In this study, we successfully synthesized Ba 2 MgY 2 (BO 3 ) 3 :Ce 3+ blue phosphor which effectively enhances its luminous properties through energy transfer. By introducing both Ce 3+ and Tb 3+ into the Ba 2 MgY 2 (BO 3 ) 3 matrix, an energy transfer efficiency of 50.6 % is achieved between these two ions, resulting in a remarkable 13.1-fold increase in Tb 3+ luminous intensity. The internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of the sample is measured at 63 %, while the external quantum efficiency (EQE) reaches 30 %. Furthermore, it exhibits good thermal stability and promising applications in temperature sensing due to the sensitivity and coordinated luminescence of Ce 3+ and Tb 3+ ions at different temperatures. Finally, when combined with a 365 nm chip, this sample produces a white LED (WLED) with a color rendering index (CRI) of 81.6 and a correlation color temperature (CCT) of 4330 K.

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is exclusively overexpressed in most Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue but not in normal liver tissue, making it a promising biomarker for the precise detection of HCC. In this paper, a label-free light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) decorated by platinumpalladium-hemin-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (PtPd@H-rGO NCs) was constructed for determination of GPC3. The GPC3 aptamer (GPC3 Apt ) and PtPd@H-rGO NCs were modified on the surface of silicon-based LAPS chip to build sensitive unit of LAPS system. A readout photocurrent elicited from a modulated light source, registers the localized surface potential change. When a bias voltage is provided to the LAPS system, the GPC3-GPC3 Apt complexes formed by the specific reaction between GPC3 and GPC3 Apt at the sensing interface can cause the sensitive membrane surface potential to change, resulting in the photocurrent-voltage (I-V) curves generate a corresponding offset response. Therefore GPC3 concentration can be determined by monitoring the potential shifts (△V). Under optimal conditions, the potential shift is linearly related to the concentration of GPC3 in the range of 0.001–3.00 μg/mL with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0001 μg/mL. The LAPS has a good analytical performance with good specificity, reproducibility and stability, and can be used for the detection of GPC3 in actual serum samples, which provides a broad application prospect for the combined application of LAPS and aptamers in biooassay.

The effect of Na3(PO3)3 on the growth of KDP crystal (101) faces was studied by the Michelson interference technique and atomic force microscopy. The experimental results show that the growth rates were near zero at low supersaturation when Na3(PO3)3 was doped into solution, i.e., there was a supersaturation interval similar to the “growth dead zone”. The growth rates began to increase rapidly as the supersaturation crossed the “growth dead zone” and continued to increase. The “growth dead zone” increased as the doping concentration was increased. In addition, the anisotropy of growth hillocks decreased and the competition of growth hillocks became more intense when the doping concentration of Na3(PO3)3 was gradually increased in solution at confirmed supersaturation. The calculated surface free energies of three adjacent planes show that they increased with the increase of doping concentration and always αI, αII > αIII.

The clinical application of doxorubicin (DOX) is limited due to its cardiotoxicity, which is primarily attributed to its interaction with iron in mitochondria, leading to lipid peroxidation and myocardial ferroptosis. This study aimed to investigate the role of the gut microbiota‐derived metabolite, indole‐3‐lactic acid (ILA), in mitigating DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Cardiac function, pathological changes, and myocardial ferroptosis were assessed in vivo. The cardioprotective effects and mechanisms of ILA were explored using multi‐omics approaches, including single‐nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA‐seq) and bulk RNA‐seq, and were further validated in Nrf2 knockout mice. The findings revealed that DOX treatment disrupted gut microbiota, significantly reducing the levels of the tryptophan metabolite ILA. In DIC models, ILA supplementation markedly improved cardiac function, reduced collagen deposition, and mitigated cardiac atrophy. The bulk and snRNA‐seq analyses indicated that myocardial ferroptosis played a crucial role in the cardioprotective effects of ILA. Experimental data demonstrated that ILA decreased DOX‐induced ferroptosis in both DIC mice and DOX‐treated H9C2 cells, evidenced by restoration of GPX4 and SLC7A11 levels and reduction of ACSL4. Mechanistically, ILA functions as a ligand for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), leading to the upregulation of Nrf2 expression. The protective effects of ILA against ferroptosis were abolished by silencing AhR. Moreover, the beneficial effects of ILA on DIC were eliminated in Nrf2‐deficient mice. In conclusion, ILA exerts therapeutic effects against DIC by inhibiting ferroptosis through activation of the AhR/Nrf2 signalling pathway. Identifying the cardioprotective role of the microbial metabolite ILA could offer viable therapeutic strategies for DIC.

Although the NASICON-type of Na3V2(PO4)3 is regarded as a potential cathode candidate for advanced sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), it has an undesirable rate performance and low cyclability, which are a result of its poor electronic conductivity. Here, we utilized conductive polyaniline (PANI) grown in situ to obtain the hard carbon-coated porous Na3V2(PO4)3@C composite (NVP@C@HC) with a typically simple and effective sol–gel process. Based on the restriction of double carbon layers, the NVP size decreases distinctly, which can curtail the sodium-ion diffusion distance and enhance the electronic conductivity. As expected, the product displays good discharge capacity (111.6 mA h g–1 at 1 C), outstanding rate capacity (60.4 mA h g–1 at 50 C), and remarkable cycling stability (63.3 mA h g–1 with a retention of 83.3% at 40 C over 3000 cycles). Also, it performs a long-term cycling capacity of 58.5 mA h g–1 exceeding 15 000 cycles at 20 C (with a capacity loss of 0.24% per cycle).

A new magenta-to-transmissive electrochromic polymer, poly(3,4-bis(3-bromopropoxy)thiophene) (PBBrPOT) was synthesized by electrochemical polymerization and its electrochromic properties were characterized in detail. Compared with the representative “large-volume alkyl substituents” strategy, herein we use bromines as the end-capping groups of two propoxyl substituents on the 3- and 4- position of the thiophene ring to introduce more steric repulsion within the polymer chains, and therefore obtain a magenta neutral state of the polymer. The PBBrPOT film shows a set of reasonable electrochromic features, including low driving potentials (−0.1 V and 0.9 V), appropriate transmittance change (38% at 556 nm), but a relatively longer response time in bleaching process ( t 95 = 6.5 s).

In this study, the probiotic characteristics of Enterococcus faecalis SN21-3 were explored by genotype and phenotype, and the safety of this strain was evaluated in vitro and vivo . The complete genome sequence of E. faecalis SN21-3 revealed basic genetic information and corresponding genes underlying its probiotic characteristics. In vitro experiments were performed with E. faecalis SN21-3, which showed prominent antimicrobial activity and excellent abilities of resistance to simulated gastrointestinal fluid, cholesterol assimilation, adhesion, and antioxidant. In addition, E. faecalis SN21-3 was susceptible to the most common antimicrobial agents, did not contain transferable resistance gene and pathogenic gene, and did not perform haemolysis reactions and gelatinase activity in vitro . Furthermore, in vivo experiments demonstrated that feeding E. faecalis SN21-3 to broilers for 28 days did not significantly affect their normal growth or blood biochemistry parameters. Moreover, H&E staining showed no evidence of lesions in the heart, liver, spleen, or kidney of the broilers. No migration of E. faecalis SN21-3 was observed in the heart, liver, spleen, kidney, or blood samples during the feeding trial, indicating that the bacteria did not cause infections. In summary, E. faecalis SN21-3 exhibits numerous probiotic characteristics and is sufficiently safe for use as a novel animal probiotic.
