文摘Tyrosine residues in proteins can be nitrated to form 3-nitrotyrosine(3-NT)under the influence of ozone(O_(3))and nitrogen dioxide(NO_(2))in the air,which may introduce health impacts.A selective and sensitive enzyme-linked-immunoassay(ELISA)method was developed to determine 3-NT in modified model protein(bovine serum albumin,BSA)and ambient aerosol samples.The nitration degrees(NDs)of BSA in the exposure experiments with different durations were detected by both the ELISA and spectrophotometric methods(i.e.,ND_(ELISA) and ND_(SEC-PDA)),which show good coincidence.The kinetic investigation by both ΔND_(ELISA) and ΔND_(SEC-PDA) in the exposure experiments shows that the rate coefficients(k)of the pseudo-first-order kinetic rate reactions of protein nitration were comparable.These results indicate that direct detection of 3-NT by the ELISA method can be applied for laboratory exposure samples analysis for kinetic studies.Based on the selective detection of 3-NT,ND_(ELISA) provides a promising measure for the assessment of ND in model proteins.3-NT was alsomeasured in PM_(2.5) samples in summer in Guangzhou,southern China,ranging from 10.1 to 404 pg/m^(3),providing clear evidence of protein nitration in ambient aerosols.We further proposed that 3-NT/protein can be used as a proxy to evaluate protein nitration in ambient aerosols.A significant correlationwas observed between 3-NT/protein and O_(3),confirming the crucial role of O_(3) in protein nitration.Our results show that the direct detection of 3-NT by the ELISA method can be more widely applied in the laboratory and field-based studies for understanding the mechanisms of protein nitration.

文摘The traditional nanozymes-based ratiometric fluorescence sensing platforms usually necessitate the supplementary addition of fluorescent probes,therefore greatly restricting its convenient and broad application.In this study,a highly sensitive and selective ratiometric fluorescence platform for alkaline phosphatase(ALP)detection was established,only employing Prussian blue(PB)nanozymes and a commercially available chromogen of o-phenylenediamine(OPD).PB nanozymes with remarkable peroxidaselike(POD-like)activity can effectively catalyze OPD chromogen to yield 2,3-diaminophenazine(OPDox)with an intense yellow fluorescence at 573 nm emission peak.Target ALP can facilitate ascorbic acid 2-phosphate(AAP)dephosphorylation to generate phosphate and ascorbic acid(AA).Significantly,both these two resultant hydrolysis products could effectively decrease the OPDox generation via a dualpath based inhibition on the PB nanozymes POD-like activity.On the other hand,the generated dehydroascorbic acid(DHAA)from AA oxidation would exclusively react with OPD chromogen to yield3-(dihydroxyethyl)furo[3,4-b]quinoxaline-1-one(DFQ)with a strong blue fluorescent signal at 434nm,which further providing a significant enhancement on the sensing selectivity of ALP detection.As a result,an increased yellow fluorescence of OPDox and decreased blue fluorescence of DFQ could be clearly observed with different ALP addition.A robust linear relationship between the fluorescence ratio of F_(434)/F_(573)and ALP activity ranging from 0.25U/L to 6U/L was obtained,with a low detection limit of 0.112 U/L.This proposed method demonstrates high sensitivity,excellent selectivity,cost-effectiveness,and operational simplicity,yet enabling an effective detection of ALP levels in human serum.
文摘In this work,we proposed a strategy for the hydrolysis of native corn starch after the treatment of corn starch in an ionic liquid aqueous solution,and it is an awfully“green”and simple means to obtain starch with low molecular weight and amorphous state.X-ray diffraction results revealed that the natural starch crystalline region was largely disrupted by ionic liquid owing to the broken intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds.After hydrolysis,the morphology of starch changed from particles of native corn starch into little pieces,and their molecular weight could be effectively regulated during the hydrolysis process,and also the hydrolyzed starch samples exhibited decreased thermal stability with the extension of hydrolysis time.This work would counsel as a powerful tool for the development of native starch in realistic applications.

文摘Growing demand for sustainable,high-performance materials is driving research to replace petroleumbased plastics with abundant biomass,especially cellulose.However,the effective modification and functionalization of cellulose is often impeded by complex processing requirements and limited performance tunability.Here,an innovative“active”green medium strategy based on an ethyl cellulose/thymol eutectic system is reported,enabling in situ chemical modification of eutectic components and the construction of dynamic self-adaptive networks without external catalysts or initiators.Through precise molecular design,dynamic boroxine networks and acrylate crosslinking networks are synergistically integrated into the cellulosic bioplastic(CBP)matrix.The resulting CBP-A2B8 exhibits exceptional optical transparency(~85%),superior mechanical properties(tensile strength~30 MPa),facile thermal processability,and closed-loop recyclability.Its chemical structure and mechanical performance remain highly stable even after 20 hot-compression recycling cycles.Complete biodegradation occurs under natural environmental conditions within approximately 100 days.Furthermore,the bioplastic,when combined with silver nanowires,forms high-performance flexible transparent conductive films successfully applied in customizable electroluminescent devices.Post-lifecycle,device components(silver nanowires and CBP matrix)are efficiently separated and recycled using a straightforward solvent-based method.This eutectic system-mediated strategy offers a novel pathway for the development of sustainable,high-performance bioplastics with a closed-loop lifecycle.

文摘Owing to their intricate molecular frameworks and copious chiral centers,the structural identification and configurational assignment of natural products are challenging tasks.Comprehensive spectral data analysis is crucial for the confirmation of absolute configurations.Ignoring critical parameters will lead to false structure,which may confuse the total synthesis and drug development.Herein,the configurations of seven heterogeneous Pallavicinia diterpenoids(PDs) isolated from Pallavicinia liverworts are revised using a combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electronic circular dichroism(ECD) calculations.Meanwhile,identification of five unprecedented PD heterodimers PD-dimers A-E(18-22) along with eleven previously undescribed PDs(5-9,13-17,23) obtained by the reinvestigation of the Chinese liverwort Pallavicinia subciliata have resulted in corrections and support the revised conclusions.

文摘Early fault detection for spiral bevel gears is crucial to ensure normal operation and prevent accidents.The harmonic components,excited by the time-varying mesh stiffness,always appear in measured vibration signal.How to extract the periodical impulses that indicate gear localized fault buried in the intensive noise and interfered by harmonics is a challenging task.In this paper,a novel Periodical Sparse-Assisted Decoupling(PSAD)method is proposed as an optimization problem to extract fault feature from noisy vibration signal.The PSAD method decouples the impulsive fault feature and harmonic components based on the sparse representation method.The sparsity within and across groups property and the periodicity of the fault feature are incorporated into the regularizer as the prior information.The nonconvex penalty is employed to highlight the sparsity of fault features.Meanwhile,the weight factor based on2norm of each group is constructed to strengthen the amplitude of fault feature.An iterative algorithm with Majorization-Minimization(MM)is derived to solve the optimization problem.Simulation study and experimental analysis confirm the performance of the proposed PSAD method in extracting and enhancing defect impulses from noisy signal.The suggested method surpasses other comparative methods in extracting and enhancing fault features.

文摘Photoreforming poly(lactic acid)(PLA)plastics into pyruvic acid(PA)coupled with hydrogen evolution is of great significance for sustainable development.However,a significant challenge lies inα-OH bond cleaving of lactic acid(LA).Herein,CdS/Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12)composite is fabricated,bridged by Bi−S bonds,through in-situ growth of CdS nanoparticles on Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12)nanoflowers for the successive removal of hydrogen fromα-C in LA.In-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirms the S-scheme carriers transfer route and interfacial Bi−S bond in CdS/Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12).Consequently,the photo-electrons and holes with extended lifetimes and strong redox potential accumulate in the CdS conduction band and Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12)valence band,respectively,as evidenced by in-situ electron spin resonance and time-resolved photoluminescence.This facilitates the generation of·OH radicals,which further participate in the successive dehydrogenation reaction of LA.Consequently,the photoreforming efficiencies of converting PLA into PA and H_(2)by CdS/Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12)are 1.7 and 3.16 mmol g^(-1)h^(-1),which are respectively 2.8 and 22 times higher than that by pristine Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12).The present work provides a new approach for designing S-scheme to achieve hydrogen production and value-added conversion of plastics.

文摘Microbial communities play indispensable roles in the biogeochemical cycling of river ecosystems.However,the response patterns of microbial community diversity,niche breadth,and assembly to rainfall disturbances in complex mountainous riverine reservoirs remain inadequately understood.We employed high-throughput sequencing of 16S and 18S ribosomal RNA genes,along with multivariate statistical methods to systematically investigate prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms in the riverine Zhaoshandu Reservoir,Wenzhou,Zhejiang,East China.Results show significant temporal heterogeneity in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial communities,with eukaryotic microbes showing more pronounced temporal variation.Canonical correspondence analysis revealed that rainfall and water temperature were the key drivers shaping microbial communities.Additionally,eukaryotic microorganisms exhibited a more pronounced response to rainfall and water temperature compared to prokaryotes.Modified stochasticity ratio model indicated that deterministic processes predominantly governed microbial community assembly,with stronger deterministic processes in eukaryotic compared to prokaryotic microorganisms.Rainfall has significantly altered water quality,notably increasing phosphorus concentration in the water column.Total phosphorus and total nitrogen showed significant correlations with the niche breadth of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms,and phosphorus nutrients served as keystones and playing indispensable roles in their co-occurrence networks.A structural equation model confirmed the notable impacts of rainfall and water temperature on microbial community diversity,further revealing that rainfall indirectly influenced the niche breadth and co-occurrence relationships of microbial communities by altering phosphorus concentrations.The findings underscore the influence of rainfall and water temperature on microbial distribution,highlighting the sensitivity of riverine reservoir ecosystems to climate change.

文摘Peptides play important roles in chemistry,medicinal chemistry and life science,due to their high efficiency and specificity,unusual biological and therapeutic properties.As naturally occurring peptides often face with their intrinsic limitations including metabolic instability and low membrane permeability,the strategies for synthesizing unnatural amino acids and peptides are explored.Among the methods for modifying amino acids and peptides,chemo-and site-selective approaches are preferred because of the ability to fine-tuning structural features.Recently,transition metal-catalyzed Csingle bondH activation has been employed for the functionalization of amino acids and peptides.Through domino Csingle bondH activation/annulation,a series of structurally complex and diverse amino acids and peptides is constructed.This review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of unnatural amino acids and peptides via transition metal-catalyzed Csingle bondH activation/annulation.

文摘Some active metal oxides(Al_(2)O_(3),TiO_(2),and Cr_(2)O_(3))were selected as dopants to the Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic shells for investment casting of K417G superalloy.The effects of dopant types and contents(0,2,5,and 8 wt.%)on the wettability and interfacial reaction between the alloy and shell were investigated by a sessile-drop experiment.The results show that increasing the Al_(2)O_(3) doping contents(0−8 wt.%)reduces the porosity(21.74%−10.08%)and roughness(3.22−1.34μm)of the shell surface.The increase in Cr_(2)O_(3) dopant content(2−8 wt.%)further exacerbates the interfacial reaction,leading to an increase in the thickness of the reaction layer(2.6−3.1μm)and a decrease in the wetting angle(93.9°−91.0°).The addition of Al_(2)O_(3) and TiO_(2) dopants leads to the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5) composite oxides in the reaction products,which effectively inhibits the interfacial reaction.The increase in TiO_(2) dopant contents(0−8 wt.%)further promotes the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5),which decreases the thickness of the interfacial reaction layer(3.9−1.2μm)and increases the wetting angle(95.0°−103.8°).The introduced dopants enhance the packing density of the shell surface,while simultaneously suppress the diffusion of active metal elements from the alloy matrix to the interface.

文摘The intrinsic insulation and drastic volume change of the red phosphorus during the 3-electron alloying process greatly limits its widespread applications in sodium-ion batteries.Here,we report a monomicelle-directed assembly approach for controllable synthesis of monodispersed mesoporous polypyrrole(PPy)nanospheres,which allows for the shape-preserving conversion into N-doped carbon with regular mesoscopic pore and high surface area,thus affording a high dispersion of red phosphorus during melt impregnation process due to the available diffusion apertures and strong molecular chemical anchoring.Moreover,the theoretical calculations further revealed that positively polarized pyridine N atoms in N-doped mesoporous carbon nanospheres can empower comprehensive regulation of red phosphorus adsorption by strong chemical binding.Benefitting from the above advantages,the resultant red phosphorus host for sodium-ion batteries delivered an outstanding reversible capacity of 856 mAh/g with a capacity fading rate of only 0.025%per cycle during 1000 cycles at 1.0 A/g.This work provides an effective approach based on monomicelle-directed assembly engineering of carbon-based phosphorus hosts for advanced energy conversion and storage systems.

文摘Effective treatment of subcutaneous tumors remains a focal point in cancer therapy.Photothermal therapy,a novel therapeutic approach,has emerged as a promising alternative,offering a less invasive option for the treatment of subcutaneous tumors.This study reports the exploration of novel supramolecular halogen-bonded organic frameworks(XOFs)based on[N…Br^(+)…N]halogen bonds through the ligand exchange strategy and their application in photothermal therapy.Through ligand exchange,XOF(Br)-TPy was successfully prepared,and its structure and properties were thoroughly characterized using NMR,XPS,FT-IR,and XRD techniques.Due to their cationic characteristics,these XOFs serve as effective carriers for the photothermal agent IR820.In vitro experiments demonstrated that the IR820@XOF(Br)-TPy composite exhibits excellent photothermal conversion efficiency under NIR irradiation,effectively inducing tumor cell ablation.Furthermore,in vivo studies confirmed the remarkable antitumor efficacy of the composite material in a subcutaneous tumor model.This work demonstrates that the ligand exchange strategy is a versatile and facile approach for constructing XOFs(Br)and provides a novel strategy for developing advanced photothermal therapeutic agents with significant application potential.

文摘AIM:To define the prevalence and anatomical patterns of paranasal sinus abnormalities(PSA)in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy(TAO)and to test the hypothesis that TAO is partially driven by contiguous orbital inflammation rather than systemic autoimmunity or generalized orbital pressure.METHODS:Data included ophthalmic assessments and a panel of thyroid function and autoimmune biomarkers.Blinded radiological analysis of orbital computed tomography(CT)scans was performed to quantify sinus abnormalities and extraocular muscles(EOMs)involvement.Patients were categorized into two groups based on CT findings,those with no radiological evidence of sinus abnormalities(non-PSA control group)and those with identifiable PSA.Furthermore,ethmoid sinus mucosal biopsies from a subset of TAO patients and noninflammatory controls were subjected to histopathological analysis.RESULTS:Totally 121 TAO patients(mean age 42.4±12.8y,range 10-78y),male:female=42:79,were included.PSA was identified in 44.6%(n=54)of patients,with a distribution anatomically restricted to the maxillary(50.0%isolated)and ethmoid sinuses(18.5%isolated;29.6%combined).Compared to the non-PSA group(n=67),patients with PSA were significantly older(45.1±11.8 vs 40.3±13.2y;P=0.040)and were more likely to be male(55.6%vs 17.9%;P<0.001).They also had significantly higher proptosis(22.1±3.2 vs 20.7±2.9 mm;P<0.001).Medial/inferior rectus involvement was most frequent(88.4%vs 89.3%).Histopathological analysis of sinus mucosa from PSA patients provided direct evidence of pathology,revealing a dense,chronic lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and submucosal edema,validating the radiological findings as a true inflammatory process.No significant correlation was found with systemic autoimmune markers,including thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH)receptor antibodies(TRAb,median 4.86 vs 2.71 IU/L,P=0.104).CONCLUSION:TAO is associated with a high prevalence of PSA in a pattern consistent with the orbital anatomy.The correlation with ipsilateral muscle thickening combined with the lack of association with proptosis laterality or systemic biomarkers lend strong support to a model of contiguous inflammation over systemic autoimmunity,a hypothesis that warrants further validation through longitudinal and mechanistic studies.

文摘The cold chain environment is an important route for the long⁃distance transmission of pathogenic micro⁃organisms.In this study,we explored the mechanisms of secondary propagation through surface contact on cold surfaces.A quantitative statistical experimental method was adopted to study the surface⁃contact transmission of micro⁃organisms,wherein the transfer rate of surface contact was the dependent variable and Escherichia coli was used as the indicator bacterium.The effects of contact pressure(0.44,0.86,1.55,2.25,and 2.94 N/cm^(2)),contact time(0,15,30,45,and 60 s),contact angle(15°and 25°),and surface materials(rubber and cotton gloves)were measured at two storage temperatures:cold storage(5℃)and freezing(-18℃).The results showed that as temperature decreases,the transfer of micro⁃organisms through surface contact becomes less probable.The contact time did not significantly influence the transfer rate of micro⁃organisms when items were handled at cold⁃storage temperatures.Based on these results,we recommend placing items as flat as possible to minimize the tilt angle when handling them at cold⁃storage temperatures.Additionally,if the tilt angle cannot be avoided,rubber gloves should be used when handling items stored at large tilt angles,whereas cotton gloves may be used for items placed at smaller angles.
