In this paper, we developed a new method of immobilizing HEK293 cells on the inner wall of a capillary column. Four important experimental conditions were optimized, including cell injection density, PLL concentration, cell culturing time and sterile processing method. Immobilized cell-coated capillary columns prepared under the optimized experimental conditions exhibited good uniformity, stability and durability, which were suitable for capillary electrophoresis. The method could also be used to immobilize HEK293 cells over-expressing certain membrane receptors on the inner wall of a capillary. In this way, cell-coated capillary columns could be applied to ACE drug screening targeting certain membrane proteins.展开更多

Solidifier material, such as cement should be resistance to saline environment for deep sea storage. So, this research objective is to study the performance of cementation method in immobilizing strontium waste in saline environment. Research was conducted by immobilizing strontium waste using Portland pozzolanic cement, white cement and composite Portland cement. Cement, 65 ppm Sr(NO3)2, sand and water were mixed and cast. Strontium waste varied in 2 v/o, 4 v/o, 6 v/o and 8 v/o. After 28 days curing, the cement block’s compressive strength and leaching rate on saline water were analyzed. Determination of compressive strength was done by using Universal Wood Testing. The density of blocks was measured by picnometer at 25°C. Compressive strength test for Portland pozzolanic cement at various w/c was conducted to confirm the effect of w/c in increasing the strength. For testing strontium leaching rate in water containing 35 ppm NaCl, cement blocks have been immersed in saline water for 21 days. 25 ml samples were taken and analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Strontium leaching rate on block containing pH 9 of waste was compared to the previous research data of strontium leaching rate on water to know the effect of saline water. To adjust the pH, 1 MNaOH was added into the waste. Effects of various cement type and filler materials (sand, zeolite and baryte) on Portland pozzolanic cement were also compared. The results show that there were almost no effects of salt on immobilized strontium waste, except in pH 9 waste (0.00224 over to0.000199 g/cm2·days). Strontium leaching rates on all cemented waste still meet the IAEA’s standard, so the safety of cemented strontium waste disposal at saline environment could be ensured.展开更多

One week before the end of the intervention, mice underwent cast immobilization. Additionally, to investigate the potential mechanism in exercise-induced protection of skeletal muscle, mice in the exercise preconditioning group were administered TC-E-5003(an inhibitor of Prmt1 enzymatic activity). Exercise performance, muscle mass, and the cross-sectional area(CSA) of muscle fibers were analyzed. Besides, Prmt1 and Sestrin1(Sesn1) were either overexpressed or inhibited in C2C12 myotubes to elucidate the underlying mechanism.Results: Exercise preconditioning not only significantly improved muscle mass and motor ability in immobilized mice but also inhibited excessive activation of degradation pathways and enhanced protein synthesis. Importantly, Prmt1 mediated the protective effects of exercise preconditioning on muscle atrophy. Mechanistically,Prmt1 regulated the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38)/activating transcription factor 2(ATF2)pathway, which modulates Sesn1 expression. Sesn1 acts as a downstream of Prmt1 and ATF2, contributing to the myoblast differentiation and skeletal muscle regeneration through AMP-Activated protein kinase α2(AMPKα2)/transcriptional co-activator PPAR-γ co-activator-1 α(PGC-1α) signaling pathway.Conclusions: Taken together, our results highlighted the effectiveness of exercise preconditioning in preventing muscle atrophy via the Prmt1-Sesn1 pathway.展开更多

The results show that there were almost no effects of salt on immobilized strontium waste, except in pH 9 waste (0.00224 over to0.000199 g/cm2·days). Strontium leaching rates on all cemented waste still meet the IAEA’s standard, so the safety of cemented strontium waste disposal at saline environment could be ensured.

文摘The combination of photodynamic therapy(PDT)and chemodynamic therapy(CDT)in tumor treatment has attracted considerable attention.However,tumor hypoxia and glutathione(GSH)overproduction in the tumor tissue restricted the progress of their applications.Herein,a Mn-porphyrinic metal-organic framework(Mn-TCPP)was constructed by the one-pot method and further used for immobilizing glucose oxidase(GOx)to obtain GOx@Mn-TCPP.GOx would rapidly exhaust endogenous glucose into hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))and gluconic acid,thus shutting off the energy supply of tumor cells for starvation treatment.Mn-TCPP catalyzed H_(2)O_(2)to produce oxygen,regulating the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and in turn improving^(1)O_(2)generation under laser irradiation.Interestingly,Mn-TCPP can reduce reactive oxygen species consumption owing to the redox reaction between Mn^(3+)and GSH,thus greatly enhancing PDT.Furthermore,benefiting from GOx-mediated starvation therapy,Mn^(2+)produced by Mn^(3+)reduction can react with sufficient intracellular H_(2)O_(2)to generate·OH with high cytotoxicity through a Fenton-like reaction.After treatment by GOx@Mn-TCPP under laser irradiation in vitro,the cell viability of 4T1 and A549 tumor cells reached to 20%,reflecting GOx@Mn-TCPP could give full play to the advantages of PDT/CDT/starvation therapy.The results in vivo demonstrated that GOx@Mn-TCPP mediated synergistic cascade therapy could significantly inhibit tumor growth and improve the therapeutic effect.
文摘Production of hydrogen from water by solar-energy conversion has long been considered a promising way to solve the climate change and energy crisis(1)However,some critical issues at this stage,such as catalysts for hydrogen evolution with high efficiency and low cost,definitely hinder the practical application of photocatalytic hydrogen production from water.[Fe Fe]-hydrogenase,an excellent natural biological enzyme catalyst bearing unique organometallic clusters with noble-metal-free element,is most efficient in reducing protons to hydrogen and demonstrates remarkable turnover frequencies(TOF 6000–9000 s1 per active site)[2].

文摘Soil cadmium(Cd)contamination poses significant risks to human health and environmental sustainability.Despite advances in bioremediation,effective bioagents with clear mechanistic insights for Cd detoxification are lacking.We first deciphered the whole-genome sequence of a novel Cd-tolerant Trichoderma nigricans T32781 and its in vivo heavy metal tolerance.In five independent pot and field trials,we revealed the T32781-induced alleviation mechanisms of plant-microbe-soil interactions in wheat and barley in response to Cd toxicity using a combination of agronomic,physiological,microbiome and metabolome approaches.We discovered that T32781 inoculation in soil significantly increased grain yield and decreased grain Cd concentration in barley and wheat exposed to different soil Cd levels.T32781 predominantly colonized soils,mitigating Cd toxicity by reducing soil Cd availability and promoting beneficial soil microbial communities and metabolites.These beneficial effects were further validated in the field,where the exogenous application of key metabolites induced by T32781 inoculation in soils and plants significantly increased grain yield and reduced grain Cd concentration in barley.This work highlights the potential of T32781 to enhance plantmicrobe-soil interactions and support sustainable and safe crop production in Cd-contaminated soils,addressing the increasing global demand for cereal production for food and feed.

文摘We report an immobilized enzyme-catalyzed batch and continuous-flow synthesis of optically pure ethyl(R)-pantothenate((R)-PaOEt),the direct precursor of d-pantothenic acid.Firstly,a ketoreductase mutant designated as M2,carrying two-point mutations of F97L and M242F relative to the wild-type SSCR,was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis,exhibited simultaneously improved activity toward ethyl 2′-ketopantothenate(K-PaOEt)and isopropanol,and could effectively catalyze the stereoselective reduction of K-PaOEt to(R)-PaOEt by using isopropanol as the sacrificial co-substrate to regenerate NADPH.After screening six commercially available carriers,an amino resin LXTE-700 was identified as the best solid support for the immobilization of M2 via the glutaraldehyde activation method.Upon optimization of the immobilization process and reaction conditions,the fabricated immobilized enzyme M2@amino resin demonstrated excellent recyclability and reusability,with the complete conversion of K-PaOEt to(R)-PaOEt being still realized after 12 cycles of reuse.Finally,M2@amino resin-catalyzed synthesis of(R)-PaOEt was successfully implemented in continuous-flow,accomplishing a 6.3 times higher space-time yield than that with the batch synthesis(529.2 versus 84 g L^(-1) d^(-1)).Our developed flow biocatalysis system also features an outstanding operational stability,as evidenced by the 100%conversion rate achieved after 15 consecutive days of operation.

文摘Purpose: This study aimed to explore the effects of a 10-week combined exercise regimen on immobilizationinduced muscle atrophy and elucidate the possible function of Protein arginine methyltransferase 1(Prmt1) in this process.Methods: 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were carried out combined exercise for 10 weeks. One week before the end of the intervention, mice underwent cast immobilization. Additionally, to investigate the potential mechanism in exercise-induced protection of skeletal muscle, mice in the exercise preconditioning group were administered TC-E-5003(an inhibitor of Prmt1 enzymatic activity). Exercise performance, muscle mass, and the cross-sectional area(CSA) of muscle fibers were analyzed. Besides, Prmt1 and Sestrin1(Sesn1) were either overexpressed or inhibited in C2C12 myotubes to elucidate the underlying mechanism.Results: Exercise preconditioning not only significantly improved muscle mass and motor ability in immobilized mice but also inhibited excessive activation of degradation pathways and enhanced protein synthesis. Importantly, Prmt1 mediated the protective effects of exercise preconditioning on muscle atrophy. Mechanistically,Prmt1 regulated the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38)/activating transcription factor 2(ATF2)pathway, which modulates Sesn1 expression. Sesn1 acts as a downstream of Prmt1 and ATF2, contributing to the myoblast differentiation and skeletal muscle regeneration through AMP-Activated protein kinase α2(AMPKα2)/transcriptional co-activator PPAR-γ co-activator-1 α(PGC-1α) signaling pathway.Conclusions: Taken together, our results highlighted the effectiveness of exercise preconditioning in preventing muscle atrophy via the Prmt1-Sesn1 pathway.

文摘Lead(Pb)and zinc(Zn)are widely recognized as common environmental contaminants,contributing to soil degradation and posing risks to environmental health.Combining functional carbon-based materials with microorganisms has been considered as an effective and environmentally friendly strategy for remediating Pb/Zn-contaminated soil.However,there is still a lack of understanding the connection between heavy metal immobilization and plant responses,which hampers practical applications.Here,a 90-day pot experiment was conducted to investigate the integrated effects of biochar(WS700)and microorganisms including inorganic phosphate-solubilizing bacteria(IPSB)and sulfate reducing bacteria(SRB)on Pb and Zn synchronous immobilization and the physiological responses of Brassica rapa var.chinensis(Brassica).Compared with CK,bacteria-loaded biochar treatment declined the exchangeable Pb and Zn fraction by 94.69%−98.37%and 94.55%−99.52%,while increasing the residual state Pb and Zn by 75.50%−208.58%and 96.71%−110.85%,respectively.Three amendments enhanced Brassica growth by improving total chlorophyll content and superoxide dismutase(SOD)and peroxidase(POD)activities.The bacteria-loaded biochar treatment effectively regulated stomatal conductance and reduced intercellular CO_(2) concentration.Moreover,compared with CK,three amendments reduced MDA content by 28.84%,28.30%and 41.60%,respectively,under the high concentration of Pb and Zn.The findings demonstrated the significant role of bacterial-biochar consortia in immobilizing Pb and Zn and mitigating Pb and Zn-induced stress in plants by regulating photosynthetic characteristics and antioxidant enzyme activities.

文摘Biomineralization has garnered significant attention in the field of wastewater treatment due to its notable cost reduction compared to conventional methods.The reinjection water from oilfields containing an exceedingly high concentration of calcium and ferric ions will pose amajor hazard in production.However,the utilization of biomineralization for precipitating these ions has been scarcely investigated due to limited tolerance among halophiles towards such extreme conditions.In this study,free and immobilized halophiles Virgibacillus dokdonensis were used to precipitate these ions and the effects were compared,at the same time,biomineralizationmechanisms and mineral characteristicswere further explored.The results showthat bacterial concentration and carbonic anhydrase activitywere higher when additionally adding ferric ion based on calcium ion;the content of protein,polysaccharides,deoxyribonucleic acid and humic substances in the extracellular polymers also increased compared to control.Calcium ions were biomineralized into calcite and vaterite with mul-tiple morphology.Due to iron doping,the crystallinity and thermal stability of calcium carbonate decreased,the content of O-C=O,N-C=OandC-O-PO_(3) increased,the stable carbon isotope values became much more negative,andβ-sheet in minerals disappeared.Higher calcium concentrations facilitated ferric ion precipitation,while ferric ions hindered calcium precipitation.The immobilized bacteria performed better in ferric ion removal,with a precipitation ratio exceeding 90%.Free bacteria performed better in calcium removal,and the precipitation ratio reached a maximum of 56%.This research maybe provides some reference for the co-removal of calcium and ferric ions from the oilfield wastewater.

文摘Arsenic(As)pollution in soils is a pervasive environmental issue.Biochar immobilization offers a promising solution for addressing soil As contamination.The efficiency of biochar in immobilizing As in soils primarily hinges on the characteristics of both the soil and the biochar.However,the influence of a specific property on As immobilization varies among different studies,and the development and application of arsenic passivation materials based on biochar often rely on empirical knowledge.To enhance immobilization efficiency and reduce labor and time costs,a machine learning(ML)model was employed to predict As immobilization efficiency before biochar application.In this study,we collected a dataset comprising 182 data points on As immobilization efficiency from 17 publications to construct three ML models.The results demonstrated that the random forest(RF)model outperformed gradient boost regression tree and support vector regression models in predictive performance.Relative importance analysis and partial dependence plots based on the RF model were conducted to identify the most crucial factors influencing As immobilization.These findings highlighted the significant roles of biochar application time and biochar pH in As immobilization efficiency in soils.Furthermore,the study revealed that Fe-modified biochar exhibited a substantial improvement in As immobilization.These insights can facilitate targeted biochar property design and optimization of biochar application conditions to enhance As immobilization efficiency.

文摘Constructing a framework carrier to stabilize protein conformation,induce high embedding efficiency,and acquire low mass-transfer resistance is an urgent issue in the development of immobilized enzymes.Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks(HOFs)have promising application potential for embedding enzymes.In fact,no metal involvement is required,and HOFs exhibit superior biocompatibility,and free access to substrates in mesoporous channels.Herein,a facile in situ growth approach was proposed for the self-assembly of alcohol dehydrogenase encapsulated in HOF.The micron-scale bio-catalytic composite was rapidly synthesized under mild conditions(aqueous phase and ambient temperature)with a controllable embedding rate.The high crystallinity and periodic arrangement channels of HOF were preserved at a high enzyme encapsulation efficiency of 59%.This bio-composite improved the tolerance of the enzyme to the acid-base environment and retained 81%of its initial activity after five cycles of batch hydrogenation involving NADH coenzyme.Based on this controllably synthesized bio-catalytic material and a common lipase,we further developed a two-stage cascade microchemical system and achieved the continuous production of chiral hydroxybutyric acid(R-3-HBA).

文摘Frozen shoulder(FS),also known as adhesive capsulitis,is a condition that causes contraction and stiffness of the shoulder joint capsule.The main symptoms are per-sistent shoulder pain and a limited range of motion in all directions.These symp-toms and poor prognosis affect people's physical health and quality of life.Currently,the specific mechanisms of FS remain unclear,and there is variability in treatment methods and their efficacy.Additionally,the early symptoms of FS are difficult to distinguish from those of other shoulder diseases,complicating early diagnosis and treatment.Therefore,it is necessary to develop and utilize animal models to under-stand the pathogenesis of FS and to explore treatment strategies,providing insights into the prevention and treatment of human FS.This paper reviews the rat models available for FS research,including external immobilization models,surgical internal immobilization models,injection modeling models,and endocrine modeling models.It introduces the basic procedures for these models and compares and analyzes the advantages,disadvantages,and applicability of each modeling method.Finally,our paper summarizes the common methods for evaluating FS rat models.

文摘Arsenic-contaminated groundwater is widely used in agriculture.To meet the increasing demand for safe water in agriculture,an efficient and cost-effective method for As removal from groundwater is urgently needed.We hypothesized that Fe(oxyhydr)oxide(FeOOH)minerals precipitated in situ from indigenous Fe in groundwater may immobilize As,providing a solution for safely using As-contaminated groundwater in irrigation.To confirm this hypothesis and identify the controlling mechanisms,we comprehensively evaluated the transport,speciation changes,and immobilization of As and Fe in agricultural canals irrigated using As-contaminated groundwater.The efficiently removed As and Fe in the canals accumulated in shallow sediment rather than subsurface sediment.Linear combination fitting(LCF)analysis of X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy(XANES)indicated that As(Ⅴ)was the dominant As species,followed by As(Ⅲ),and therewas no FeAsO_(4) precipitate.Sequential extraction revealed higher contents of amorphous FeOOH and associated As in shallower sediment than in the subsurface layer.Stoichiometric molar ratio calculations,SEM-EDS,FTIR,and fluorescence spectroscopy collectively demonstrated that the microbial reductive dissolution of amorphous FeOOH proceeded via reactive dissolved organic matter(DOM)consumption in subsurface anoxic porewater environment facilitating high labile As,whereas in surface sediment,the in situ-generated amorphous FeOOH was stable and strongly inhibited As release via adsorption.In summary,groundwater Fe^(2+)can efficiently precipitate in benthic surface sediment as abundant amorphous FeOOH,which immobilizes most of the dissolved As,protecting agricultural soil from contamination.This field research supports the critical roles of the phase and reactivity of in situ-generated FeOOH in As immobilization and provides new insight into the sustainable use of contaminated water.

文摘Two strains of Fe/Mn oxidizing bacteria tolerant to high concentrations of multiple heavy metal(loid)s and efficient decontamination for them were screened.The surface of the bio-Fe/Mn oxides produced by the oxidation of Fe(II)and Mn(II)by Pseudomonas taiwanensis(marked as P4)and Pseudomonas plecoglossicida(marked as G1)contains rich reactive oxygen functional groups,which play critical roles in the removal efficiency and immobilization of heavymetal(loid)s in co-contamination system.The isolated strains P4 and G1 can growwell in the following environments:pH 5-9,NaCl 0-4%,and temperature 20-30℃.The removal efficiencies of Fe,Pb,As,Zn,Cd,Cu,and Mn are effective after inoculation of the strains P4 and G1 in the simulated water system(the initial concentrations of heavy metal(loid)were 1 mg/L),approximately reaching 96%,92%,85%,67%,70%,54%and 15%,respectively.The exchangeable and carbonate bound As,Cd,Pb and Cu are more inclined to convert to the Fe-Mn oxide bound fractions in P4 and G1 treated soil,thereby reducing the phytoavailability and bioaccessible of heavy metal(loid)s.This research provides alternatives method to treat water and soil containing high concentrations of multi-heavy metal(loid)s.
文摘5-Hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)and its oxidation derivatives have emerged as a bridge between biomass resources and the future energy industry.These renewable biomass resources can be transformed into a variety of value-added chemicals,thereby addressing the challenges posed by diminishing fossil fuel reserves and environmental concerns.The immobilization of catalysts represents an innovative method for the sustainable and efficient synthesis of HMF and its oxidation derivatives.This method not only enhances the yield and selectivity of the products but also allows for the optimization of the catalytic performance of immobilized catalysts through the strategic design of their supports.In this review,we provide an overview of the recent advancements in the technology of immobilized catalyst and its application in the synthesis of HMF and its oxidation derivatives,with a particular focus on the preparation and catalytic characteristics of these immobilized catalysts.Furthermore,we discuss potential future directions for the development of immobilized catalysts,including the preparation of high-performance immobilized catalysts,the exploration of their growth and catalytic mechanisms,and the economic implications of raw material utilization.This area of research presents both significant promise and considerable challenges.
