Developing highly sensitive and selective methods for HOCl detection is of significant interest. In this work, we developed a benzothiazole based probe 1 for ratiometric fluorescence detection of hypochlorite in living cells.

文摘Nitric oxide(NO)plays an important role in wound healing,due to its ability to contract wound surfaces,dilate blood vessels,participate in inflammation as well as promote collagen synthesis,angiogenesis and fibroblast proliferation.Herein,keratin was first nitrosated to afford S-nitrosated keratin(KSNO).As a NO donor,KSNO was then co-electrospun with polyurethane(PU).These as-spun PU/KSNO biocomposite mats could release NO sustainably for 72 h,matching the renewal time of the wound dressing.Moreover,these mats exhibited excellent cytocompatibility with good cell adhesion and cell migration.Further,the biocomposite mats exhibited antibacterial properties without inducing severe inflammatory responses.The wound repair in vivo demonstrated that these mats accelerated wound healing by promoting tissue formation,collagen deposition,cell migration,re-epithelialization and angiogenesis.Overall,PU/KSNO mats may be promising candidates for wound dressing.

文摘Although conventional suturing techniques are commonly used in assisting wound closure,they do pose limited conduciveness and may lead to secondary injury to wound tissues.Inspired by marine organism mussels,we designed and manufactured a bio-inspired hydrogel-based bandage with tough wet tissue adhesion to substitute traditional surgical suture,accelerate wound healing and avoid infection.Poly(γ-glutamic acid)was modified with 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and glycidyl methacylate,then introduced into the acrylic acid-co-acrylamide hydrogel matrix with robust mechanical properties.The hydrogel bandage showed strong chemical linkage adhesion(70±2.1 kPa),which is 2.8 times that of commercial tissue adhesive fibrin glue(25±2.2 kPa).The hydrogel bandage can not only maintain the self-stability,but is also capable of self-tuning adhesive strength in the range of 14-70 kPa to achieve different adhesion effects by tuning constituent ratio.The bandage has desirable compression properties(0.7±0.11 MPa)and tensile elongation(about 25 times),which ensures its resistance to damages,especially in joint spaces.Secondly,the bandage was endowed with antioxidant and endogenous broad-spectrum antibacterial properties with its catechol structure.Results also demonstrated excellent cell compatibility and blood compatibility,certifying its eligible biological safety profile.In a rat full-thickness cutaneous deficiency model,we can clearly observe that the bandage possesses the ability to promote wound healing(only need 6 days).Above all,this research provides a new strategy for the emergency treatment of liver hemostasis and myocardial repair during disaster rescue.

文摘In the development of new electrochemical concepts for the fabrication of high-energy-density batteries,fluorideion batteries(FIBs)have emerged as one of the valid candidates for the next generation electrochemical energy storage technologies,showing the potential to match or even surpass the current lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)in terms of energy density,safety without dendritic grains,and elimination of dependence on scarce lithium and cobalt resources.However,the development of FIBs is still in its infancy and their performance is far from satisfactory,with issues such as the lower fluoride-ion conductivity of the electrolytes and the reversibility of the electrodes hindering their commercialization.Previous reviews have mainly focused on inorganic solid electrolytes with a brief emphasis on the development of various fluoride-ion conductors and their ion-conducting properties.Therefore,this review summarizes the current developments in various electrolytes,a systematic overview of the current progress for various fluoride-ion electrolytes is presented by beginning with the history,structure and classification of FIBs,ion-transport mechanisms are briefly discussed.Recent advances in different classes of fluoride-ion electrolytes are described.The methods for optimizing the ionic conductivity characteristics of the fluoride-ion electrolytes are highlighted.Finally,an outlook on the future research direction of FIBs is given by highlighting some critical issues,challenges and prospects of fluoride-ion electrolytes.
