文摘Microplastics(MPs)are of particular concern due to their ubiquitous occurrence and propensity to interact and concentrate various waterborne contaminants from aqueous surroundings.Studies on the interaction and joint toxicity of MPs on engineered nanoparticles(ENPs)are exhaustive,but limited research on the effect of MPs on the properties of ENPs in multisolute systems.Here,the effect of MPs on adsorption ability of ENPs to antibiotics was investigated for the first time.The results demonstrated that MPs enhanced the adsorption affinity of ENPs to antibiotics and MPs before and after aging showed different effects on ENPs.Aged polyamide prevented aggregation of ZnONPs by introducing negative charges,whereas virgin polyamide affected ZnONPs with the help of electrostatic attraction.FT-IR and XPS analyses were used to probe the physicochemical interactions between ENPs and MPs.The results showed no chemical interaction and electrostatic interactionwas the dominant force between them.Furthermore,the adsorption rate of antibiotics positively correlated with pH and humic acid but exhibited a negative correlation with ionic strength.Our study highlights that ENPs are highly capable of accumulating and transporting antibiotics in the presence of MPs,which could result in a widespread distribution of antibiotics and an expansion of their environmental risks and toxic effects on biota.It also improves our understanding of the mutual interaction of various co-existing contaminants in aqueous environments.

文摘MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are abundant in the brain and mounting evidence suggests their involvement in the critical processes such as neurodevelopment,synaptic plasticity,and the development of neurodegenerative diseases.Thus,miRNAs may be promising therapeutic drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.However,naked miRNAs are not able to enter cells directly,especially brain cells.Therefore,suitable carriers for safe and efficient miRNA delivery to brain cells are of great importance.Chitosan nanoparticles,with the excellent properties such as good compatibility and brilliant degradability,may act as a promising carrier for miRNA drug delivery.In this study,chitosan nanoparticles were prepared and their properties such as particle size,zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency were optimized to encapsulate miRNAs.The delivery efficiency of miRNA-loaded nanoparticles was then evaluated in both neuronal and microglia cells.The results demonstrated chitosan nanoparticles encapsulated miRNAs efficiently and showed excellent sustained releasing in vitro.Moreover,chitosan nanoparticles delivered miRNA to both neurons and microglia with very low toxicity and high efficiency.In conclusion,chitosan nanoparticles are promising carriers for the delivery of miRNAs to brain cells,which may be used for the early intervention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.

文摘The main objective of the study was to prepare a highly active antimicrobial remedy by combining active agents such as tannic acid and silver nanoparticles,which are usually used separately.This was achieved by applying a coating of 11 alternating layers of an insoluble complex of tannic acid with polyvinyl alcohol on paper by the layerby-layer approach,on the surface of which uniformly distributed spherical silver nanoparticles of uniform size,mainly 20–30 nm,were synthesized by in situ reduction using tannic acid,which also acts as a stabilizer,or an external reducing agent,which prevented polyphenol oxidation.This gave an insight into which form-oxidized or reduced-ismore active against microorganisms.It was shown that sterilization was not required after the coating of the paper with tannic acid and silver nanoparticles.When combined,their activity against the studied bacteria-gram-negative Escherichia coli and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus,as well as yeast Candida albicans was higher and lasting up to 7 days than when tannic acid and silver nanoparticles were used separately,indicating possible synergism in their action.

文摘Due to their resistance to degradation,wide distribution,easy diffusion and potential uptake by organisms,microplastics(MPs)pollution has become a major environmental concern.In this study,PEG-modified Fe_(3)O_(4)magnetic nanoparticles demonstrated superior adsorption efficiency against polyethylene(PE)microspheres compared to other adsorbents(bare Fe_(3)O_(4),PEI/Fe_(3)O_(4)and CA/Fe_(3)O_(4)).Themaximumadsorption capacity of PEwas found to be 2203 mg/g by adsorption isotherm analysis.PEG/Fe_(3)O_(4)maintained a high adsorption capacity even at low temperature(5℃,2163 mg/g),while neutral pH was favorable for MP adsorption.The presence of anions(Cl^(-),SO_(4)^(2-),HCO_(3)^(-),NO_(3)^(-))and of humic acids inhibited the adsorption of MPs.It is proposed that the adsorption process was mainly driven by intermolecular hydrogen bonding.Overall,the study demonstrated that PEG/Fe_(3)O_(4)can potentially be used as an efficient control against MPs,thus improving the quality of the aquatic environment and of our water resources.

文摘The past several decades witnessed tremendous success in controlling global plastic pollution,but most of these achievements do not involve recycling the plastic waste.Herein,we propose a recycling strategy of using polyvinyl chloride(PVC) wastes to remove copper ions(Cu_(2+)) from electroplating wastewater for microbial control during wound healing and food preservation.The PVC wastes were recovered and crosslinked by the assistance of diethylenetriamine(DETA),which offered multiple active sites to extract Cu_(2+)ions from electroplating wastewater and in situ reduce to copper nanoparticles(CuNPs) containing crystalline Cu and Cu_(2)O.The obtained composites(i.e.,PVC-DETA@CuNPs) performed excellent antibacterial efficacies(99.999%) against Escherichia coli(E.coli) by disrupting bacterial cell membranes through contact-killing action and oxidative stress.After a series of biological evaluations on wound mice,PVC-DETA@-CuNPs exhibited promising potential in resisting wound bacterial infection,accelerating the healing process,and promoting epithelial regeneration.Interestingly,PVCDETA@CuNPs film was evidenced to delay the spoilage process of strawberries and extend their shelf life by combating with food-borne pathogens.This study presents a recycling approach towards waste reuse and the development of innovative antibacterial materials for microbial control.

文摘Selenium nanoparticles(SeNPs)are increasingly recognized for their exceptional antibacterial properties.This study aimed to develop a green,safe,and efficient method for the biosynthesis of SeNPs using the fungus Eurotium cristatum,a novel approach in SeNP synthesis.The process yielded(36.40±4.22)mg of SeNPs per liter of 1.2 mmol/L sodium selenite supplementation.These SeNPs exhibited an average diameter of 231.7 nm and a negative charge,and they remained stable when stored at 4℃.Ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry revealed a maximum absorption peak at 212 nm,suggesting effective nanoparticle formation.Fourier transform infrared spectrometry indicated that proteins and carbohydrates in the mycelium contributed to the SeNP synthesis.Concentrations of SeNPs below 50μg Se/mL did not exhibit cytotoxic effects on the growth and proliferation of human hepatocyte L-02 cells.The minimum inhibitory concentration of SeNPs was found to be 2 mg/mL against both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(Gram-positive)and Escherichia coli(Gram-negative).The SeNPs compromised the cellular integrity of test strains,causing leakage of intracellular contents and disruption of the oxidative stress system,leading to irreversible damage.Our results demonstrate the potential of SeNPs biosynthesized by E.cristatum to act as effective antibacterial agents,signifying a novel and promising approach to developing natural antimicrobial solutions.

文摘The poor corrosion resistance of magnesium(Mg)and its alloys limits their application in various fields.Micro arc oxidation(MAO)coatings can improve the corrosion resistance,but the pore defects and low surface hardness make them susceptible to wear and accelerated corrosion during usage.In this study,a ZrO_(2)nanoparticles doped-MAO coating is prepared on the ZK61 Mg alloy by utilizing an MgF_(2)passivation layer to prevent ablation.The ZrO_(2)nanoparticles re-melt and precipitate due to local discharging,which produces evenly dispersed nanocrystals in the MAO coating.As a result,the hardness of the MAO coating with the appropriate ZrO_(2)concentration increases by over 10 times,while the wear rate decreases and corrosion resistance increases.With increasing ZrO_(2)concentrations,the corrosion potentials increase from−1.528 V of the bare ZK61 Mg alloy to−1.184 V,the corrosion current density decreases from 1.065×10^(–4)A cm^(–2)to 3.960×10^(–8)A cm^(–2),and the charge transfer resistance increases from 3.41×10^(2)Ωcm^(2)to 6.782×10^(5)Ωcm^(2).Immersion tests conducted in a salt solution for 28 d reveal minimal corrosion in contrast to severe corrosion on the untreated ZK61 Mg alloy.ZrO_(2)nanoparticles improve the corrosion resistance of MAO coatings by sealing pores and secondary strengthening of the corrosion product layer.

文摘Chitosan(CS)-based nanocomposites have been studied in various fields,requiring a more facile and efficient technique to fabricate nanoparticles with customized structures.In this study,Ag@methacrylamide CS/poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate(Ag@MP)micropatterns are successfully fabricated by femtosecond laser maskless optical projection lithography(Fs-MOPL)for the first time.The formation mechanism of core-shell nanomaterial is demonstrated by the local surface plasmon resonances and the nucleation and growth theory.Amino and hydroxyl groups greatly affect the number of Ag@MP nanocomposites,which is further verified by replacing MCS with methacrylated bovine serum albumin and hyaluronic acid methacryloyl,respectively.Besides,the performance of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering,cytotoxicity,cell proliferation,and antibacterial was investigated on Ag@MP micropatterns.Therefore,the proposed protocol to prepare hydrogel core-shell micropattern by the home-built Fs-MOPL technique is prospective for potential applications in the biomedical and biotechnological fields,such as biosensors,cell imaging,and antimicrobial.

文摘This study aims to advance the development of magnetic fluorescent polymer microspheres for biomedical detection applications.Conventionally,dopants have utilized europium(Ⅲ)(Eu(Ⅲ))organic complexes due to their high compatibility with polymers and strong fluorescence.However,as the common magnetic material Fe_(3)O_(4)can quench their fluorescence,it is hard to synthesize Eu complexdoped magnetic fluorescent materials.To maintain fluorescence in the presence of magnetic parts,in this work,we synthesized Eu-doped magnetic microspheres with multi-layered structure.Firstly,poly-(glycidyl methacrylate)(PGMA)microspheres were prepared as templates and subsequently coated with layers of Fe_(3)O_(4)and SiO_(2).Then,the synthesized Eu(TTA)_(3)(TPPO)_(2)were added into PGMA@Fe_(3)O_(4)@SiO_(2)microspheres in either basic or acidic conditions,and covered them with an extra sol-gel layer of silica at the same time.The microspheres exhibit a core-shell structure with sub-micron dimensions(580 nm)and possess favorable superparamagnetic properties(M_(s)=22.02 A·m^(2)/kg,Mr=1.37 A·m^(2)/kg,H_(c)=0.242 A/m).But the fluorescence of Eu^(3+)are significantly quenched by Fe_(3)O_(4),O-H oscillators,and N-H oscillators.Finally,to exclude the quenching mentioned above,the first pure SiO_(2)shielding layer and the second Eu(TTA)_(3)(TPPO)_(2)-dispersed SiO_(2)layer were coated onto PGMA@Fe_(3)O_(4)microspheres to prevent the energy transfer due to the quenching centers and hold the fluorescence of Eu^(3+).These findings underscore the considerable potential of these microspheres exhibiting rapid magnetic separation and stable fluorescence for bioimaging and biosensing applications.
