Raman and transmission FTIR spectroscopic techniques have been coupled in a new homemade reactor-cell designed in a joint CSIC-LCS collaboration. The setup is easily adapted to any FTIR and fiber-coupled Raman spectrometers and gas analysis techniques. It allows for simultaneous operando FTIR and Raman spectroscopic measurement, which provide complementary characterization of adsorbed species, reaction intermediates, and structural properties of the catalyst. This system was validated with the study of vanadium-based catalysts during propane oxydehydrogenation (ODH). The combined use of both spectroscopies with gas analysis techniques to measure the activity contributes to the understanding of propane ODH and the identification of the role of different oxygen species bound to vanadium sites. For example, the simultaneous characterization of the catalyst under the same conditions by IR and Raman confirms that the V═O mode has the same frequency in both spectroscopies and that bridging oxygen sites (V-O-V, V-O-Zr) present higher activity than terminal V═O bonds. These results demonstrate the high potential of the new simultaneous transmission IR-Raman operando rig to correlate the activity and the structure of catalysts, thus assisting the rational design of catalytic processes.Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) and histone deacetylases (HDAC) are both attractive epigenetic targets in cancer and other chronic diseases. Based on the integrated fragment-based drug design, synthesis, and in vitro and in vivo evaluations, a series of novel thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-based hydroxamic acid derivatives are discovered as selective BRD4-HDAC dual inhibitors. Compound 17c is the most potent inhibitor for BRD4 and HDAC with IC50 values at nanomolar levels, as well as the expression level of c-Myc, and increases the acetylation of histone H3. MyrcludexB Moreover, 17c presents inhibitory effects on the proliferation of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) cells via inducing autophagic cell death. It also has a good pharmacokinetic profile in rats and oral bioavailability of 40.5%. In the HCT-116 xenograft in vivo models, 17c displays potent inhibitory efficiency on tumor growth by inducing autophagic cell death and suppressing IL6-JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Our results suggest that the BRD4-HDAC dual inhibition might be an attractive therapeutic strategy for CRC.This paper focuses on the effect of dry-cured salt content on lipidomic profiles during the processing of water-boiled salted duck (WSD). The composition of the molecular species of individual phospholipids (PLs) in raw duck meat was identified by shotgun lipidomics, and the changes in the PLs during processing were analyzed with different contents of dry-cured salt (a 4% low-salt group, a 6% medium-salt group, and an 8% high-salt group). MyrcludexB In total, 100 molecular species of phospholipids were determined in raw meat, while 122 species were identified during manufacturing processing. link2 We further found that the amount of dry-cured salt had a great influence on 12 phospholipid molecular species, which could be used as markers to distinguish the treatment groups with different amounts of dry-cured salt. MyrcludexB A lower dry-cured salt content (less than 6%) not only had a significant effect on the total PL content but also promoted the degradation of individual PLs (especially those containing unsaturated fatty acids).Microenvironment-sensitive fluorescent (ESF) nucleosides are powerful tools for nucleic acid research. The new 5-substituted uridine analogues are synthesized, which comprise a 4H-cyclopenta[d]thiazole ring obtained by the Hantzsch synthesis reaction of 5-thioamide-uridine with aromatic α-bromocarbonyl compounds. The emission maximum of new compounds is in the visible region. They exhibit strong solvent- and pH-dependent fluorescent properties, indicating their promising ability to be fluorescent probes.An octapodal corannulene-based supramolecular system has been prepared by introducing eight corannulene moieties in a porphyrin scaffold. Despite the potential of this double picket fence porphyrin for double-tweezer behavior, NMR titrations show exclusive formation of 11 adducts. link2 The system exhibits very strong affinity for C60 and C70 (K1 = (2.71 ± 0.08) × 104 and (2.13 ± 0.1) × 105 M-1, respectively), presenting selectivity for the latter. link3 Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that, in addition to the four corannulene units, the relatively flexible porphyrin tether actively participates in the recognition process, resulting in a strong synergistic effect. This leads to a very strong interaction with C60, which in turn also induces a large structural change on the other face (second potential binding site), leading to a negative allosteric effect. We also introduced Zn2+ in the porphyrin core in an attempt to modulate its flexibility. The resulting metalloporphyrin also displayed single-tweezer behavior, albeit with slightly smaller binding constants for C60 and C70, suggesting that the effect of the coordination of fullerene to one face of our supramolecular platform was still transmitted to the other face, leading to the deactivation of the second potential binding site.Bioinspired fibrous structure in three-dimension affords biomimicry, valuable functionality and performance to scaffolding in tissue engineering. In particular, the electrospun fibrous mesh has been studied as a scaffold material in various tissue regeneration applications. We produced a low-density 3D polycaprolactone/lactic acid fibrous mesh (3D-PCLS) via the novel lactic-assisted 3D electrospinning technique exploiting the catalytic properties of lactic acid as we reported previously. link2 In the study, we demonstrated a strategy of recycling the lactic acid (LA) component to synthesize the osteoinductive biomolecules in situ, calcium lactate (CaL), thereby forming a 3D bioactive PCL/CaL fibrous scaffold (3D-SCaL) for bone tissue engineering. The fiber morphology of 3D-PCLS and its packing degree could have been tailored by modifying the spinning solution and the collector design. 3D-SCaL demonstrated successful conversion of CaL from LA, and exhibited the significantly enhanced bio-mineralization capacity, cell infiltration and proliferation rate, and osteoblastic differentiation in vitro with two different cell lines, MC3T3-e1 and BMSC. In conclusion, 3D-SCaL proves to be a highly practical and accessible strategy using a variety of polymers to produce 3D fibers as a potential candidate for future regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications.To keep pace with the upcoming big-data era, the development of a device-level neuromorphic system with highly efficient computing paradigms is underway with numerous attempts. Synaptic transistors based on an all-solution processing method have received growing interest as building blocks for neuromorphic computing based on spikes. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrated the dual operation mode in poly2,2-(2,5-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-3,6-dioxo-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-diyl)dithieno[3,2-b]thiophene-5,5-diyl-alt-thiophen-2,5-diyl(PDPPBTT)/ZnO junction-based synaptic transistor from ambipolar charge-trapping mechanism to analog the spiking interfere with synaptic plasticity. The heterojunction formed by PDPPBTT and ZnO layers serves as the basis for hole-enhancement and electron-enhancement modes of the synaptic transistor. Distinctive synaptic responses of paired-pulse facilitation (PPF) and paired-pulse depression (PPD) were configured to achieve the training/recognition function for digit image patterns at the device-to-system level. The experimental results indicate the potential application of the ambipolar transistor in future neuromorphic intelligent systems.The portable UV photodetector is used to timely remind humans of overexposure to UV radiation. link3 However, the traditional UV photodetector cannot meet the practical demands, and the power supply problem hinders its further development. In this work, we demonstrated a flexible, transparent, and self-powered UV photodetector by coupling of triboelectric and photoelectric effects. The device integrates a flexible ZnO nanoparticle (NP) UV photodetector, a transparent- and flexible-film-based TENG (TFF-TENG), commercial chip resistors, and LEDs on the PET thin film. The TFF-TENG could harvest mechanical energy from finger tapping and sliding motion and power the ZnO NP UV photodetector to realize self-powered detection. The voltage of the constant resistors connected with the UV photodetector in series changes from 0.5 to 19 V under the UV light with power intensities increasing from 0.46 to 21.8 mW/cm2, and the voltage variation is reflected by the number of LEDs directly. The excellent flexibility and transparency of the device could extend its application scenarios; for example, such a portable device could be applied to real-time monitoring of the UV radiation to remind humans of intense UV light.Light-responsive nanoprobes were suffering from the threat of high-dose laser irradiation, and it was important for constructing new nanoprobes for safe and efficient phototheranostics. link3 Here, polydopamine (PDA)-coated gold nanobipyramids (AuNBPs@PDA) were synthesized for amplified photoacoustic (PA) signal and enhanced photothermal conversion with low-dose laser irradiation and then doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded AuNBPs@PDA-DOX nanoprobes were constructed for PA imaging-guided synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy. The AuNBPs@PDA nanoparticles possessed higher photothermal conversion efficiency (42.07%) and stronger PA signal than those of AuNBP nanoparticles, and the AuNBPs@PDA-DOX nanoprobes showed dual-responsive DOX release of pH and photothermal stimulation. With low-dose laser irradiation (1.0 W/cm2) and low-concentration AuNBPs@PDA-DOX (60 μg/mL), the 4T1 cell viability was reduced to about 5%, owing to the combination of PTT and chemotherapy, compared with 42.3% of single chemotherapy and 25.3% of single PTT. Moreover, by modeling 4T1 tumor-bearing nude mice, in vivo PA imaging was achieved and the tumors were completely inhibited, demonstrating the excellent synergistic effect of PTT/chemotherapy. Therefore, the developed AuNBPs@PDA-DOX nanoprobes can be used for phototheranostics and synergistic chemotherapy, achieving low-dose laser irradiation and high-efficient visualized theranostics.Exploring the impact of active site density on catalytic reactions is crucial for reaching a more comprehensive understanding of how single-atom catalysts work. Utilizing density functional theory calculations, we have systematically investigated the neighboring effects between two adjacent Fe-N-C sites of monodispersed Fe-N-C single-atom catalysts on oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). While the thermodynamic limiting potential (UL) is strongly dependent on the intersite distance and the nature of adjacent active sites in FeN3, it is almost invariable in FeN4 until two FeN4 sites are ∼4 Å apart. Further, under certain conditions, an otherwise unfavorable physisorbed-O2-initiated 2e- pathway becomes feasible due to charge transfer between reactive species and graphene support. Our results cast new insight into the rational design of high-density single-atom catalysts and may create an alternative route to manipulate their catalytic activities.
