Calcium Peroxide-Based Hydrogel Patch with Sustainable Oxygenation for Diabetic Wound Healing.

Nonhealing diabetic wounds are predominantly attributed to the inhibition of angiogenesis, re-epithelialization, and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis caused by hypoxia. Although oxygen therapy has demonstrated efficacy in promoting healing, its therapeutic impact remains suboptimal due to unsustainable oxygenation. Here, this work proposes an oxygen-releasing hydrogel patch embedded with polyethylene glycol-modified calcium peroxide microparticles, which sustainably releases oxygen for 7 days without requiring any supplementary conditions. The released oxygen effectively promotes cell migration and angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions as validated in vitro. The in vivo tests in diabetic mice models show that the sustainably released oxygen significantly facilitates the synthesis of ECM, induces angiogenesis, and decreases the expression of inflammatory cytokines, achieving a diabetic wound healing rate of 84.2% on day 7, outperforming the existing oxygen-releasing approaches. Moreover, the proposed hydrogel patch is designed with porous, soft, antibacterial, biodegradable, and storage stability for 15 days. The proposed hydrogel patch is expected to be promising in clinics treating diabetic wounds.

Wet peroxide oxidation process catalyzed by Cu/Al2O3: phenol degradation and Cu2+ dissolution behavior.

Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) has become an important deep oxidation technology for organics removal in wastewater treatments. Supported Cu-based catalysts belong to an important type of CWPO catalyst. In this paper, two Cu catalysts, namely, Cu/Al2O3-air and Cu/Al2O3-H2 were prepared and evaluated through catalytic degradation of phenol. It was found that Cu/Al2O3-H2 had an excellent catalytic performance (TOC removal rate reaching 96%) and less metal dissolution than the Cu/Al2O3-air case. Moreover, when the organic removal rate was promoted at a higher temperature, the metal dissolution amounts was decreased. Combined with hydroxyl radical quenching experiments, a catalytic oxidation mechanism was proposed to explain the above-mentioned interesting behaviors of the Cu/Al2O3-H2 catalyst for CWPO. The catalytic test results as well as the proposed mechanism can provide better guide for design and synthesis of good CWPO catalysts.

Contribution of 1O2 in the efficient degradation of organic pollutants with Cu0/Cu2O/CuO@N-C activated peroxymonosulfate: A Case study with tetracycline.

Peroxymonosulfate-mediated advanced oxidation processes (PMS-AOPs) degrading organic pollutants (Tetracycline (TC) as an example) in water with singlet oxygen (1O2) as the main reactive oxygen has received more and more attention. However, the generation mechanism of 1O2 is still unclear. Consequently, this study investigates the 1O2 formation mechanism during the activated PMS process using a nitrogen-copper-loaded carbon-based material (Cu0/Cu2O/CuO@N-C), synthesized by thermally decomposing organobase-modified HKUST-1 via a one-pot method. It was discovered that incorporating an organobase (Benzylamine) into the metal organic framework (MOF) precursor directs the MOF's self-assembly process and supplements its nitrogen content. This modification modulates the Nx-Cu-Oy active site formation in the material, selectively producing 1O2. Additionally, 1O2 was identified as the dominant reactive oxygen species in the Cu0/Cu2O/CuO@N-C-PMS system, contributing to TC degradation with a rate of 70.82%. The TC degradation efficiency remained high in the pH range of 3-11 and sustained its efficacy after five consecutive uses. Finally, based on the intermediates of TC degradation, three possible degradation pathways were postulated, and a reduction in the ecotoxicity of the degradation products was predicted. This work presents a novel and general strategy for constructing nitrogen-copper-loaded carbon-based materials for use in PMS-AOPs.

Cobalt-aluminum spinel supported on modified γ-alumina for peroxymonosulfate activation: Si-Al ratio of support to optimize performance and reusability.

The development of cobalt-based supported catalysts with high PMS catalytic activity and stability by adjusting the composition of the support is highly desirable yet remains scarce. In the work, a series of catalysts (Co2AlO4/Al2O3-xSiO2) were prepared by impregnation and high-temperature calcination using Al2O3-xSiO2 with a low Si-Al ratio as the support. Measurement techniques such as XRD, XPS, UV-DRS, FTIR, BET, SEM and HRTEM were used to characterize textural and chemical properties (ratio of Co3+/Co2+, specific surface area, pore size, pore volume, etc.). The ratio of Co3+/Co2+ and pore volume of Co2AlO4/Al2O3-xSiO2 can be turned by controlling the ratio of Si to Al, which are closely related to the catalytic performance and reusability of the catalysts. The optimized catalyst (Co2AlO4/Al2O3-0.25SiO2) can completely degrade 10 mg/L p-nitrophenol (PNP) in 40 min in the pH range of 3-9 with excellent reusability. The effects of several reaction parameters (i.e., PMS dosage, Co2AlO4/Al2O3-0.25SiO2 dosage, reaction temperature, initial pH value, and inorganic ions) on PNP removal were comprehensively investigated. Sulfate radical (SO4•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) are making a major contribution to the degradation of PNP. Moreover, a millimeter-scale catalyst (CoSiAl-0.25/Al2O3 pellet) was prepared by sol adsorption and high-temperature calcination method, which maintained high oxidation activity after treatment of 18 L wastewater (PNP of 10 mg/L) in a continuous flow process. The method is simple and easy to operate on a large scale, providing a new perspective on the design and preparation of cobalt-aluminum spinel catalysts for activated PMS.

Facilely tuning the intrinsic catalytic sites of the spinel oxide for peroxymonosulfate activation: From fundamental investigation to pilot-scale demonstration.

Heterogeneous peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have shown a great potential for pollutant degradation, but their feasibility for large-scale water treatment application has not been demonstrated. Herein, we develop a facile coprecipitation method for the scalable production (∼10 kg) of the Cu-Fe-Mn spinel oxide (CuFeMnO). Such a catalyst has rich oxygen vacancies and symmetry-breaking sites, which endorse it with a superior PMS-catalytic capacity. We find that the working reactive species and their contributions are highly dependent on the properties of target organic pollutants. For the organics with electron-donating group (e.g., -OH), high-valent metal species are mainly responsible for the pollutant degradation, whereas for the organics with electron-withdrawing group (e.g., -COOH and -NO2), hydroxyl radical (•OH) as the secondary oxidant also plays an important role. We demonstrate that the CuFeMnO-PMS system is able to achieve efficient and stable removal of the pollutants in the secondary effluent from a municipal wastewater plant at both bench and pilot scales. Moreover, we explore the application prospect of this PMS-based AOP process for large-scale wastewater treatment. This work describes an opportunity to scalably prepare robust spinel oxide catalysts for water purification and is beneficial to the practical applications of the heterogeneous PMS-AOPs.

Efficient organics heterogeneous degradation by spinel CuFe2O4 supported porous carbon nitride catalyst: Multiple electron transfer pathways for reactive oxygen species generation.

Facilitating reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is an effective way to promote the heterogeneous catalytic efficiency for organics removal. However, the metal leaching in metal-based catalysts and the low activity of non-metallic materials restrict ROS production. In this work, the purpose was achieved by loading a small amount of spinel CuFe2O4 onto porous carbon nitride substrate. The synthesized CuFe2O4@O-CN composite first to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS), which produce a plenty of ROS (•OH, SO4•- and 1O2) for organics removal, leading to highly oxidation for diverse organics. Through the comparative analysis of the surface composition before and after reaction, we found that the interface multi-electron transfer routs, including surface Cu(II)/Cu(I), Fe(III)/Fe(II) and their cross interaction, participated in the redox cycle, giving rise to the rapid and massive production of ROS, so that DMPO and TEMP were instantly oxidized in electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) detection. Importantly, the carrier of porous O-CN, which acted as the electron transfer mediator, not only favors PMS adsorption via surface -OH, but also facilitates the conversion between different metal species. As a result, the CuFe2O4@O-CN/PMS system can remove 99.1% BPA and achieve 52.6% mineralization under optimized conditions. Thus, this study not only sheds light on the tailored design of heterogeneous catalyst for organics removal and elucidates the interfacial catalytic mechanisms for PMS activation.

Facile fabrication of surface vulcanized Co-Fe spinel oxide nanoparticles toward efficient 4-nitrophenol destruction.

Developing efficient modulation strategies to boost the degradation efficiencies of non-noble metal catalysts for toxic phenolic compounds involving peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based oxidation processes is essential but remains an arduous challenge. This study reports the one-pot construction of in-situ surface vulcanized CoFe2O4 @carbon (Sx-CF@C) to boost the PMS activation for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) destruction. The direct pyrolysis of an aerogel precursor consisted of cobalt nitrate, ferric nitrate, melamine, and thiourea enables the as-formed Sx-CF@C with hierarchical structure, rich oxygen vacancies, and electron/mass transfer, thereby considerably promoting PMS activation performance of Sx-CF@C toward 4-NP degradation. Specifically, the optimal S0.2-CF@C can achieve a removal efficiency of 99% for 4-NP destruction (20 mg/L) through PMS activation. Meanwhile, the catalyst also has generality to degrade a variety of antibiotic and dye organic pollutants. The radical quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance tests reveal the radical and non-radical activation mechanism in the S0.2-CF@C/PMS system. The degradation pathway for 4-NP destruction over the S0.2-CF@C/PMS system is proposed. This study provides an efficient approach to modulate the PMS activation performance of ferrite spinel materials toward the degradation of acute phenolic compounds.

Enhancement of urea removal from reclaimed water using thermally modified spent coffee ground biochar activated by adding peroxymonosulfate for ultrapure water production.

To enhance the degradation of urea in reclaimed water for producing ultrapure water (UPW), thermally modified biochar (TBC) was prepared by secondary pyrolysis using spent coffee biochar with the function as an activator of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Results showed that 94.4% of urea can be degraded effectively by the TBC-PMS system at the dosage of 0.4 g/L TBC and 2 g/L PMS under neutral and weak acid conditions. Moreover, urea removal mainly depended on the free radical pathway (SO4• - and OH•), especially OH•. The inorganic anions of TBC increased via secondary pyrolysis, especially carbonate and phosphate, resulting in higher electrical conductance (EC) value than the original biochar. It was conducive to activating PMS. As well, C-O, -OH worked as an active site in the TBC-PMS system, providing electrons and activating PMS. This work provides a novel strategy for UPW production using TBC-PMS system.

Long-acting CoAl2O4 spinel catalyst developed on activated alumina pellets by facile synthesis to activate peroxymonosulfate: Controllable cobalt leaching and environmental adaptability.

A novel composite catalyst prepared by fixing cobalt aluminate (CoAl2O4) spinel on formed alumina carrier by impregnation-calcination route is reported, which can be used to efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade p-nitrophenol (PNP). The internal laws of phase composition and preparation conditions are explored in detail, and the results show that the introduction of additional aluminum ions in the preparation process changes the coordination environment and the electronic state of cobalt ions, which leads to the transformation of spinel/inverted spinel in the composition, and further affects the activity and stability of the catalyst. The selected CoAl-Aaps-600 catalyst has high CoAl2O4 content, showing good cycle performance and low cobalt leaching, and has great catalytic degradation performance at different temperatures and a wide pH range. Most notably, a fixed bed reactor packed with 20 g of CoAl-Aaps-600 exhibits excellent capacity to continuously treat 60 L of PNP solution with acceptable PNP removal ratio and low cobalt leaching content. Sulfate radical and singlet oxygen are identified as the main reactive oxygen species produced in CoAl-Aaps-600/PMS system, and the reaction mechanism is reasonably inferred. This work provides a potential application material and process for the treatment of continuous organic wastewater.

Improving Prediction of Peroxide Value of Edible Oils Using Regularized Regression Models.

We present four unique prediction techniques, combined with multiple data pre-processing methods, utilizing a wide range of both oil types and oil peroxide values (PV) as well as incorporating natural aging for peroxide creation. Samples were PV assayed using a standard starch titration method, AOCS Method Cd 8-53, and used as a verified reference method for PV determination. Near-infrared (NIR) spectra were collected from each sample in two unique optical pathlengths (OPLs), 2 and 24 mm, then fused into a third distinct set. All three sets were used in partial least squares (PLS) regression, ridge regression, LASSO regression, and elastic net regression model calculation. While no individual regression model was established as the best, global models for each regression type and pre-processing method show good agreement between all regression types when performed in their optimal scenarios. Furthermore, small spectral window size boxcar averaging shows prediction accuracy improvements for edible oil PVs. Best-performing models for each regression type are: PLS regression, 25 point boxcar window fused OPL spectral information RMSEP = 2.50; ridge regression, 5 point boxcar window, 24 mm OPL, RMSEP = 2.20; LASSO raw spectral information, 24 mm OPL, RMSEP = 1.80; and elastic net, 10 point boxcar window, 24 mm OPL, RMSEP = 1.91. The results show promising advancements in the development of a full global model for PV determination of edible oils.

A Versatile Nanoplatform for Broad-Spectrum Immunotherapy by Reversing the Tumor Microenvironment.

Immunotherapy is currently an important adjuvant therapy for malignant tumors besides surgical treatment. However, the heterogeneity and low immunogenicity of the tumor are two main challenges of the immunotherapy. Here, we have constructed a nanoplatform (CP@mRBC-PpIX) to realize reversion of the tumor acidosis and hypoxia through alkali and oxygen generation triggered by tumor acidosis. By targeting tumor universal features other than endogenous biomarkers, it was found that CP@mRBC-PpIX could polarize tumor-associated macrophages to anti-tumor M1 phenotype macrophages to enhance tumor immune response. Furthermore, under regional light irradiation, the reactive oxygen species produced by photosensitizers located in CP@mRBC-PpIX could increase the immunogenicity of tumors, so that tumor changes from an immunosuppressive "cold tumor" to an immunogenic "hot tumor," thereby increasing the infiltration and response of T cells, further amplifying the effect of immunotherapy. This strategy circumvented the problem of tumor heterogeneity to realize a kind of broad-spectrum immunotherapy, which could effectively prevent tumor metastasis and recurrence.

Structural elucidation, distribution and antioxidant activity of bound phenolics from whole grain brown rice.

Chemical profiles, distribution, and antioxidant activity of bound phenolics from brown rice were investigated. Four new dehydrodiferulic acid dimers (DFA) along with eighteen known phenolics were isolated from brown rice bound phenolic extracts and their structures were determined by multiple spectroscopic methods. Among them, ferulic acid and 8-5' DFA were the most abundant monomeric and dimeric bound phenolics in brown rice, rice bran and polished rice. In whole brown rice, polished rice contributed more than 50% of three phenolic monomers and six phenolic dimers, while rice bran contributed more than half of the other thirteen phenolics including eight monomers, four dimers, and one trimer. All the isolated compounds exhibited oxygen radical absorbance capacity. Thomasidioic acid, caffeic acid, methyl caffeate, and 8-5' DC DFA displayed potent peroxyl radical scavenging capacity, and the last three compounds also showed moderate cellular antioxidant activity.

Effects of oxidative modification of peroxyl radicals on the structure and foamability of chickpea protein isolates.

A chickpea protein isolate (CPI) was oxidized using peroxyl radicals derived from 2,2'-azobis (2-amidopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH), and the structural and foaming properties of the oxidized CPI were evaluated. The oxidation degree of protein was determined by measuring carbonyl content, dimer tyrosine content, free thiol content, and total thiol content. The structural changes of oxidized protein were evaluated by surface hydrophobicity, endogenous fluorescence intensity, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, SDS-PAGE, and amino acid content changes. Compared with the control group (0 mmol/L AAPH), moderate oxidation (0.04 mmol/L AAPH) led to the formation of a soluble protein with flexibility, which could improve the foaming properties of the protein (foaming capacity and stability increased by 25.50% and 6.38%, respectively). Over-oxidized (25 mmol/L AAPH) protein exhibited improved foaming capability, but its foam stability was reduced owing to the formation of insoluble aggregates. The results indicate that oxidation can change protein conformation, and the protein structure can affect the foamability of the CPI. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: CPI is a protein supplement food. Protein oxidation can occur during processing and storage, thereby affecting protein function. In this study, we evaluated how peroxy free radicals affect the structure, solubility and foaming properties of CPI, and clarified the mechanism between them. It has been found that peroxy free radicals can accelerate the oxidation of proteins and have a significant effect on foaming. Therefore, the degree of oxidation should be controlled to improve the quality of CPI.

Graphene/CuO2 Nanoshuttles with Controllable Release of Oxygen Nanobubbles Promoting Interruption of Bacterial Respiration.

An oxygen nanoshuttle based on a reduced graphene oxide/copper peroxide (rGO/CuO2) nanocomposite has been presented to deliver in situ oxygen nanobubbles (O2 NBs) for combating bacterial infections. In the presence of rGO, the solid source of oxygen (i.e., CuO2) was decomposed (in response to environmental conditions such as pH and temperature) into O2 NBs in a more controllable and long-lasting trend (from 60 to 144 h). In a neutral buffer, the O2 NBs experienced growth and collapse evolutions, creating a dynamic micro-nanoenvironment around the nanocomposite. In addition to effective battling against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, the O2 NBs demonstrated superior antibacterial properties on Gram-positive S. aureus to those on Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria, especially in the presence of rGO. In fact, the rGO contents could provide synergistic effects through harvesting some respiratory electrons (leading to striking interruption of the bacterial respiratory pathway) in one side and transferring them into the O2 NBs, resulting in nanoscale reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in another side. Moreover, near-infrared laser irradiation induced more damage to the cell membrane due to the synergistic effects of local heat elevation and catalyzing the release/collapse of NBs imposing mechanical disruptions. Our results show that the O2-containing nanoshuttles can effectively be used as intelligent and controllable anti-infection nanorobots in upcoming graphene-based nanobiomedical applications.

Theoretical insights into the antioxidant activity of moracin T.

Moracin T is a natural product isolated from Morus mesozygia (Moraceae), which acts as potent antioxidant agent. In this study, density functional theory-based computational methods have been performed to evaluate systematically the radical scavenging behaviour of this compound. Structural characteristics such as frontier molecular orbitals and molecular electrostatic potential mapping have been investigated. Thermodynamic parameters related to the three main antiradical mechanisms, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), sequential electron transfer proton transfer (SETPT), and sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) have been studied. In addition, two variants of SPLET mechanism namely sequential proton loss hydrogen atom transfer (SPLHAT) and double sequential proton loss electron transfer (D-SPLET) have been investigated. The reaction of moracin T with hydroperoxyl radical (HOO•), as representative reactive oxygen species, was also studied. The obtained results are of great significance in better understanding the chemical mechanism of the radical-scavenging action and open new perspectives for the design of new potent antioxidant agents.

The 2015 "Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine" was given to Prof Dr Tu Youyou for the discovery of ART. Hence, ART is termed as "Nobel medicine." The present review article accommodates insights from the chronological advancements and direct statistics witnessed during the past 48 years (1971-2019) in the medicinal chemistry of ART-derived antimalarial endoperoxides, and their clinical utility in malaria chemotherapy and drug discovery.

Synergistic coupling Co3Fe7 alloy and CoFe2O4 spinel for highly efficient removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol by activating peroxymonosulfate.

Efficient wastewater restoration depends on the robustness and capability of the catalyst to promote sophisticated decontamination technologies. In this study, Co3Fe7-CoFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by facile pyrolysis were completely characterized and used to decompose 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). Furthermore, the catalytic performance and relevant mechanisms involved in the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) were also investigated. The optimal conditions were achieved at the catalyst loading of 0.05 g L-1, PMS dosage of 1.26 g L-1, and pH of 7.7 through the response surface methodology by using the Box-Behnken design model. Under optimal conditions, 97.1% efficiency of 2,4-DCP removal was obtained within 30 min. Moreover, the quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance result indicated that sulfate (SO4•-) and hydroxyl (HO•) radicals were considered as the dominant reactive oxygen species, which resulted in the effective removal of 2,4-DCP in the Co3Fe7-CoFe2O4/PMS system. Moreover, Co3Fe7-CoFe2O4 showed efficient catalytic performance in continuous five runs and exhibited less metal leaching of 0.052 and 0.036 mg L-1 for Co and Fe species, respectively. Furthermore, no considerable change was observed in the structural characteristics of the fresh and used Co3Fe7-CoFe2O4 catalytic system. The above-mentioned results indicated that the synergistic effects between Co3Fe7 alloy and CoFe2O4 spinel not only significantly improved the activity and long-term durability of the catalyst, but also accelerated the Co3+/Co2+ and Fe3+/Fe2+ redox cycles. Overall, the Co3Fe7-CoFe2O4/PMS system provides a novel advanced oxidation approach to further develop multifunctional transition metal-based nanomaterials responsible for producing surface-bound radicals and enhancing the remediation of refractory pollutants in the environmental application.

Microencapsulation of sesame seed oil by tamarind seed mucilage.

Tamarind seed mucilage (TSM) was evaluated as a novel wall material for microencapsulation of sesame oil (SO) by spray-drying method. Wall material:core ratios of 1:1 (M1) and 1:2 (M2) were considered, and the corresponding physical and flow properties, thermal stability, functional groups composition, morphology, encapsulation efficiency, and oxidative stability were evaluated. Powder of M1 and M2 microcapsules exhibited free-flowing characteristics. The particle size distribution for M1 microcapsules was monomodal with diameter in the range 1-50 µm. In contrast, Microcapsules M2 presented a bimodal distribution with diameter in the ranges 1-50 µm and 50-125 µm. M1 microcapsules were thermally stable until 227 °C and microcapsules M2 until 178 °C. Microcapsules M1 and M2 exhibited a dominant amorphous halo and external morphology almost spherical in shape. Encapsulation efficiency was 91.05% for M1 and 81.22% for M2. Peroxide formation reached values after six weeks was 14.65 and 16.51 mEq/kgOil for M1 and M2 respectively. Overall, the results led to the conclusion that tamarind mucilage is a viable material for high microencapsulation efficiency, while offering protection against oxidation mechanisms of SO.

Oxidative stability of cod liver oil in the presence of herring roe phospholipids.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of herring roe phospholipids (PLs) on the oxidative stability of cod liver oil during storage. The effect of PLs on the oxidative stability of cod liver oil was assessed in terms of peroxide value, free fatty acids, secondary oxidation products and pyrrolisation. The results show that the PV was lower in cod liver oil containing PLs (P < 0.05) than in the control without PLs. Benzaldehyde, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2-methyl-2-pentenal, 1-penten-3-ol and 3-methylbutanal were the main volatiles. In addition, significant pyrrolisation was observed after 28 days when PLs were added to cod liver oil. The results suggested that cod liver oil with dispersed PLs was oxidized during storage followed by non-enzymatic browning reactions. The findings indicated that the ratio between pyrroles formed and α-tocopherol may influence the formation of new peroxides and secondary oxidation products.
