RESUMEN

Polysaccharides are organic compounds widely distributed in nature, but structural order and disorder remain a formidable problem. In this study, based on the theoretical framework of the "relative ordered structure of polysaccharide" proposed in our previous work, the structural order of Hericium erinaceus polysaccharides from different regions was evaluated by FT-IR, methylation analysis, and 1H NMR spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods. The results of principal component analysis and heatmap cluster analysis revealed that 18-subfractions exhibit four different structural types with representative glycoside linkage types: fucogalactoglucan, glucofucogalactan, fucoglucan, and glucan. The main chain of heteroglucans often consists of ß-(1 → 6)-Glcp, ß-(1 → 4)-Glcp, and ß-(1 → 3)-Glcp residues, which are predominantly substituted at the O-3 and O-6 positions. The main chain structure of heterogalactans is α-(1 → 6)-Galp residues, which may be replaced by Fucp and Galp residues at O-2. Overall, our findings demonstrate the validity of the "relative ordered structure of polysaccharide" in Hericium erectus polysaccharides and simplify the complexity of polysaccharide structures.

RESUMEN

Effervescence-assisted microextraction (EAM) is a novel sample pretreatment method based on the reaction of CO2 and H+ donors to generate CO2 bubbles and promote rapid dispersion of the extractant. During this process, the unique dispersion method increases the contact area between the target molecule and the extraction solvent, and the adsorption/extraction efficiency of the adsorbent/extractant toward the target molecule is also enhanced. The EAM technique is of particular interest due its convenient application, low running costs, reduced solvent consumption, high extraction efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Benefiting from the rapid development of extractants, the evolution and application of the EAM technology is becoming more tuned and diversified. Indeed, the synthesis of new extractants, such as nanomaterials with multi-pore structures, large specific surface areas, and rich active sites, has attracted extensive attention, as has the development of ionic liquids with strong extraction abilities and high selectivities. As a result, the EAM technology has been widely applied to the pretreatment of target compounds in various samples, such as food, plant, biological, and environmental samples. However, since these samples often contain polysaccharides, peptides, proteins, inorganic salts, and other interfering substrates, it is necessary to remove some of these substances prior to extraction by EAM. This is commonly achieved using methods such as vortexing, centrifugation, and dilution, among others. The treated samples can then be extracted using the EAM method prior to detection using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) to detect substances such as heavy metal ions, pesticide residues, endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), and antibiotics. Using effervescence as a novel assisted method for the dispersion of solvents or adsorbents, the concentrations of Pb2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, bisphenol, estrogen, and the pyrethyl pesticides have previously been successfully determined. Moreover, many influencing factors have been evaluated during method development, including the composition of the effervescent tablet, the solution pH, the extraction temperature, the type and mass/volume of extractant, the type of eluent, the eluent concentration, the elution time, and the regeneration performance. Generally, the cumbersome single factor optimization and multi-factor optimization methods are also required to determine the optimal experimental conditions. Following determination of the optimal experimental conditions, the EAM method was validated by a series of experimental parameters including the linear range, the correlation coefficient (R2), the enrichment factor (EF), the limit of detection (LOD), and the limit of quantification (LOQ). In addition, the use of this method has been demonstrated in actual sample testing, and the obtained results have compared with those achieved using similar detection systems and methods to ultimately determine the accuracy, feasibility, and superiority of the developed method. In this paper, the construction of an EAM method based on nanomaterials, ionic liquids, and other emerging extractants is reviewed, wherein the preparation method, application range, and comparison of similar extractants were evaluated for the same extraction system. In addition, the current state-of-the-art in relation to EAM research and application when combined with HPLC, cold flame AAS, and other analytical techniques is summarized in terms of the detection of harmful substances in complex matrices. More specifically, the samples evaluated herein include dairy products, honey, beverages, surface water, vegetables, blood, urine, liver, and complex botanicals. Furthermore, issues related to the application of this technology are analyzed, and its future development trend in the field of microextraction is forecasted. Finally, the application prospects of EAM in the analysis of various pollutants and components are proposed to provide reference for monitoring pollutants in food, environmental, and biological samples.

RESUMEN

In metal hydride-catalyzed alkene hydrofunctionalization reactions via hydrogen atom transfer, simple carbonyl groups have been well-recognized as good somophiles at the carbon for C-C bond formation. Here we report an alternative pathway exploring the carbonyl as an O-nucleophile to make new C-O bonds during the CoH-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of alkenyl aldehydes. This reaction provides a rapid, mild, modular, and stereoselective (up to >20:1) entry to saturated O-heterocycles via nucleophilic trapping of an in situ-formed oxocarbenium intermediate. The key to overriding the carbonyl's innate somophilicity was found to be promoting the formation of organocobalt species and suppressing the radical exchange.

RESUMEN

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a radiation-free and noninvasive medical image reconstruction technique in which a current is injected and the reflected voltage is received through electrodes. EIT electrodes require good connection with the skin for data acquisition and image reconstruction. However, detached electrodes are a common occurrence and cause measurement errors in EIT clinical applications. To address these issues, in this study, we proposed a method for detecting faulty electrodes using the differential voltage value of the detached electrode in an EIT system. Additionally, we proposed the voltage-replace and voltage-shift methods to compensate for invalid data from the faulty electrodes. In this study, we present the simulation, experimental, and in vivo chest results of our proposed methods to verify and evaluate the feasibility of this approach.

RESUMEN

Infrared detection technology has been widely applied in many areas. Unlike internal photoemission and the photoelectric mechanism, which are limited by the interface barrier height and material bandgap, the research of the hot carrier effect from nanometer thickness of metal could surpass the capability of silicon-based Schottky devices to detect mid-infrared and even far-infrared. In this work, we investigate the effects of physical characteristics of Cr nanometal surfaces and metal/silicon interfaces on hot carrier optical detection. Based on the results of scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis, the hot carrier effect and the variation of optical response intensity are found to depend highly on the physical properties of metal surfaces, such as surface coverage, metal thickness, and internal stress. Since the contact layer formed by Cr and Si is the main role of infrared light detection in the experiment, the higher the metal coverage, the higher the optical response. Additionally, a thicker metal surface makes the hot carriers take a longer time to convert into current signals after generation, leading to signal degradation due to the short lifetime of the hot carriers. Furthermore, the film with the best hot carrier effect induced in the Cr/Si structure is able to detect an infrared signal up to 4.2 µm. Additionally, it has a 229 times improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a single band compared with ones with less favorable conditions.

RESUMEN

Sol-gel materials have been widely used for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coatings due to their outstanding performance; in contrast, sol-gel SPME coatings have seldom been used for in vivo sampling. The main reason is that their matrix compatibility is unclear. In order to promote the application of this type of coating and accelerate the development of in vivo SPME, in this study, the matrix compatibility of several typical sol-gel coatings was assessed in plasma and whole blood using phthalic acid esters as analytes. The service life of five kinds of sol-gel coatings was among 20-35 times in undiluted plasma, while it was 27 times for a homemade commercial polydimethylsiloxane coating, which indicates good matrix compatibility of sol-gel coatings in untreated plasma. The sol-gel hydroxy-terminated silicone oil/methacrylic acid fiber achieved the highest extraction ability among all of the fibers, and it was tested in pig whole blood. It could be continuously used for at least 22 times, demonstrating good potential for in vivo sampling. Subsequently, a direct-immersion SPME/gas chromatography-flame ionization detection method was established for the determination of 5 phthalic acid esters in blood. Compared with other methods reported in the literature, this method is rapid, simple, sensitive, and accurate, and does not need expensive instruments or tedious procedures. A simulation system of animal blood circulation was constructed to verify the practicability of sol-gel SPME coatings in animal vein sampling. The result illustrated the feasibility of that coating for in vivo blood sampling, but a more accurate quantification calibration approach needs to be explored.

RESUMEN

The determination approaches of Fe (Ⅲ) in biological samples were developed by a novel water-soluble silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs). The SiNPs were synthesized by a facile microwave-assisted method, and simultaneously featured strong blue fluorescence (photoluminescence quantum yield: 25.2%), long lifetime (~13.29 ns) and good photo-stability. The fluorescence intensities of SiNPs were gradually quenched with Fe (Ⅲ) concentration increasing from 2.0 to 50 µmol/L. The detection limit of the established method was 0.56 µmol/L and the precision for eleven replicate detections of 20 µmol/L Fe (Ⅲ) was 3.2% (relative standard deviation, RSD). The spiked recoveries were 99.0%-104.5%. Results of the lifetime decay and cyclic voltammetry (CV) evidenced that the electron transfer was responsible for the fluorescence quenching mechanism of SiNPs and Fe (Ⅲ). Moreover, the SiNPs were successfully applied in the determination of Fe(Ⅲ) in different environmental waters and human serum. Finally, the resulting SiNPs exhibited the green fluorescence in HeLa cells as the optical probe.

RESUMEN

We investigate the influence of hydrostatic/biaxial strain on the formation, migration, and clustering of vacancy in tungsten (W) using a first-principles method, and show that the vacancy behaviors are strongly dependent on the strain. Both a monovacancy formation energy and a divacancy binding energy decrease with the increasing of compressive hydrostatic/biaxial strain, but increase with the increasing of tensile strain. Specifically, the binding energy of divacancy changes from negative to positive when the hydrostatic (biaxial) tensile strain is larger than 1.5% (2%). These results indicate that the compressive strain will facilitate the formation of monovacancy in W, while the tensile strain will enhance the attraction between vacancies. This can be attributed to the redistribution of electronic states of W atoms surrounding vacancy. Furthermore, although the migration energy of the monovacancy also exhibits a monotonic linear dependence on the hydrostatic strain, it shows a parabola with an opening down under the biaxial strain. Namely, the vacancy mobility will always be promoted by biaxial strain in W, almost independent of the sign of strain. Such unexpected anisotropic strain-enhanced vacancy mobility originates from the Poisson effect. On the basis of the first-principles results, the nucleation of vacancy clusters in strained W is further determined with the object kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. It is found that the formation time of tri-vacancy decrease significantly with the increasing of tensile strain, while the vacancy clusters are not observed in compressively strained W, indicating that the tensile strain can enhance the formation of voids. Our results provide a good reference for understanding the vacancy behaviors in W.

RESUMEN

Sorafenib, a multitargeted kinase inhibitor, has been reported to elicit a limited therapeutic effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Currently, phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is emerging as a powerful modality for cancer therapy. However, few studies have been reported the effectiveness of the combination of sorafenib with PDT and PTT in HCC. Herein, we designed and synthesized bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and sorafenib (SFB) nanoparticle (ZnPc/SFB@BSA). The obtained ZnPc/SFB@BSA was able to trigger PDT, PTT, and chemotherapy. After irradiation by a 730 nm light, ZnPc/SFB@BSA significantly suppressed HCC cell proliferation and metastasis while promoted cell apoptosis in vitro. Furthermore, intravenous injection of ZnPc/SFB@BSA led to dramatically reduced tumor growth in an orthotopic xenograft HCC model. More importantly, ZnPc/SFB@BSA presented low toxicity and adequate blood compatibility. Therefore, a combination of ZnPc with sorafenib via BSA-assembled nanoparticle can markedly suppress HCC growth, representing a promising strategy for HCC patients.

RESUMEN

Tandem catalysis from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to oxygen (O2) and then to singlet oxygen (1O2) is a convenient way to overcome the hypoxic environment of the tumor for efficient cancer therapy. In this work, meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TCPP) and ß-cyclodextrin (ß-CD) functional gold nanoparticles (CD-AuNPs) are integrated together with a brushy covalent organic polymer (COP-8) to form COP@Au@TCPP nanocomposites. The brushy red emissive COP-8 was prepared with 9,9-dioctyl-2,7-diaminofluorene and 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol through a simple Schiff base reaction and acts as a sensor to monitor the material transfer and location in tumor cells. The n-octyl groups on the surface of COP-8 act as hooks to load CD-AuNPs via hydrophobic interaction, while the ß-CD improves the biocompatibility of the whole COP@Au@TCPP. The COP@Au@TCPP nanocomposites aggregate efficiently in the tumor site through enhanced permeability and retention effect. The CD-AuNPs act as catalyzers to decompose H2O2 into O2 in tumor cells. Then, TCPPs on COP@Au@TCPP sensitize O2 to form 1O2 under 655 nm radiation for efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT). In combination with the X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging capacity of CD-AuNPs, the CT-imaging-guided PDT system was successfully prepared. The imaging information, in turn, shows the tandem catalysis PDT efficiency of the COP@Au@TCPP. This work paves the way for the preparation of an imaging-guided therapy system with COP as a matrix to ingrate various biocompatibility components.

RESUMEN

Objective: To investigate the effect of nanoscale zirconium-porphyrin metal-organic framework (NPMOF) on the development of nervous system in larval zebrafish. Methods: Embryos of zebrafish were incubated to E3 medium (n=500) or 100 mg/L NPMOF-E3 medium (n=500) from 6 hours post fertilization (hpf) to 28, 48, 72, 96 or 120 hpf. At 28, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hpf, 60 fish were collected respectively for quantitative real-time PCR in both groups. At 120 hpf, 20 fish were used for in situ hybridization, 150 fish were used for immunofluorescence and 30 fish were used for behavioral test, respectively. The shape and size of NPMOF was measured by TEM, and the optical properties were detected by UV-Vis and Fluorescence Spectrometer. In vivo development of multiple neurocytes was examined via in situ hybridization, immunofluorescence and quantitative real-time PCR. Behavioral test was used to manifest the locomotor changes of larval zebrafish. Results: Compared to control group, the mRNA expression levels of neurodevelopment-relative, neuron-relative and neuroglia-relative genes were partially increased obviously after NPMOF exposure (P< 0.05). The distribution and phenotype of neurons and oligodendrocytes showed no significant differences between exposed and unexposed groups, while exposed group showed an increase in the number of müller glia and astrocytes (P<0.05). In behavioral test, there was an increase in total movement distance, fast movement time and velocity and a decrease in total rest time following NPMOF exposure (P<0.05). Conclusion: The data indicate the potential facilitating effect of 100 mg/L NPMOF on neurodevelopment in vivo, especially on the growth of müller glia and astrocytes.

RESUMEN

To analyze the development of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19), this study systematically retrieved relevant Chinese and English literatures from both CNKI and Web of Science database platforms by bibliometric research method and CiteSpace 5.5.R2 software to obtain information and visualize relevant literatures. A total of 695 Chinese and 446 English literatures were included in this paper. Statistics showed that China had published most of the literatures and established close cooperation with the United States and the United Kingdom. Through the analysis, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and its affiliated hospitals published the largest number of the publications. Moreover, the highly productive journals including Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and The Lancet covered eight major fields, such as medicine, medical virology, radiation medicine, infectious disease, and traditional Chinese medicine. Besides, a total of 35 special COVID-19 funds were recently established to subsidize these studies. The key words and themes analysis indicated that protein structure of COVID-19, receptor targets and mechanisms of action, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, screening and development of antiviral drugs from traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, vaccine research as well as epidemiological characteristics and prediction are current study hotspots. This study provides a reference for researchers to rapidly master main study directions of COVID-19 and screen out relevant literatures.

RESUMEN

Targeting is vital for precise positioning and efficient therapy, and integrated platforms for diagnosis and therapy have attracted more and more attention. Herein, we established dual-template molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) coated fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) by using the linear peptide of the extracellular region of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) and adopting doxorubicin (DOX) as templates for targeted imaging and targeted therapy. Benefiting from the epitope imprinting approach, the imprinted sites generated by peptides on the MIP surface can be employed for recognizing the corresponding protein, which allowed the MIP to specifically and actively target HER2-positive breast cancer cells. Because of its ability to identify breast cancer cells, the MIP was applied for targeted fluorescence imaging by taking advantage of the excellent fluorescence properties of Si NPs, and the DOX-loaded MIP (MIP@DOX) can act as a therapeutic probe to effectively target and kill breast cancer cells. In fluorescence images, the targeting of the MIP promoted more uptake of the nanoparticles by cells than the non-imprinted polymer (NIP), so HER2-positive breast cancer cells incubated with the MIP exhibited stronger fluorescence, and there was no significant difference in fluorescence when HER2-negative cells and normal cells were respectively hatched with the MIP and NIP. Importantly, the cell viability was evaluated to demonstrate targeted accumulation and therapy of MIP@DOX for breast cancer cells. The nanoplatform for diagnosis and therapy combined the high sensitivity of fluorescence with the high selectivity of the molecular imprinting technique, which holds vital potential in targeted imaging and targeted therapy in vitro.

RESUMEN

The self-assembly of triazole amphiphiles was examined in solution, the solid state, and in bilayer membranes. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments show that stacked protonated triazole quartets (T4 ) are stabilized by multiple strong interactions with two anions. Hydrogen bonding/ion pairing of the anions are combined with anion-π recognition to produce columnar architectures. In bilayer membranes, low transport activity is observed when the T4 channels are operated as H+ /X- translocators, but higher transport activity is observed for X- in the presence of the K+ -carrier valinomycin. These self-assembled superstructures, presenting intriguing structural behaviors such as directionality, and strong anion encapsulation by hydrogen bonding supported by vicinal anion-π interactions can serve as artificial supramolecular channels for transporting anions across lipid bilayer membranes.

RESUMEN

The cyclic depsipeptide cereulide toxin it is a very well-known potassium electrogenic ionophore particularly sensitive to pancreatic beta cells. The mechanistic details of its specific activity are unknown. Here, we describe a series of synthetic substituted cereulide potassium ionophores that cause impressive selective activation of glucose-induced insulin secretion in a constitutive manner in rat insulinoma INS1E cells. Our study demonstrates that the different electroneutral K+ transport mechanism exhibited by the anionic mutant depsipeptides when compared with classical electrogenic cereulides can have an important impact of pharmacological value on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

RESUMEN

Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs), especially those emitting red fluorescence, have been widely applied in the field of bioimaging. However, harsh synthetic conditions and strong biological autofluorescence caused by short wavelength excitation restrict the further development of SiNPs in the field of biological applications. Here, we report a method for synthesizing a ruthenium-complex-functionalized two-photon-excited red fluorescence silicon nanoparticle composite (SiNPs-Ru) based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer under mild experimental conditions. In the prepared SiNPs-Ru composite, silicon nanoparticles synthesized by atmospheric pressure microwave-assisted synthesis served as a fluorescence energy donor, which had two-photon fluorescence properties, and tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) dichloride (LRu) acted as a fluorescence energy acceptor, which could emit red fluorescence as well as had the ability to produce singlet-oxygen for photodynamic therapy. Therefore, the synthesized SiNPs-Ru could emit red fluorescence by two-photon excitation based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer, which could effectively avoid the interference of biological autofluorescence. Fluorescence imaging tests in zebrafish and nude mice indicated that the as-prepared SiNPs-Ru could act as a new kind of fluorescence probe for fluorescence imaging in vivo. By coupling folic acid (FA) to SiNPs-Ru, the prepared composite (FA-SiNPs-Ru) could not only serve as a targeted two-photon fluorescence imaging probe but also kill cancer cells via photodynamic therapy in vitro.

RESUMEN

Good biocompatibility, active tumor targeting, and stimulus-responsive release offer great opportunity for precise imaging-guided tumor treatment. However, the current strategies for the fabrication of smart theranostic platforms suffer from tedious synthesis processes. Here, we propose a universal and facile strategy for the fabrication of smart nanoscale metal-organic framework (NMOF)-based nanoplatforms for imaging-guided precise chemotherapy. As a proof of concept, 5-boronobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (BBDC), as a versatile ligand, was employed for the first time with Gd3+ as metal nodes to prepare a smart magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided drug-delivery system. Specific reversible diol-borate condensation enables effortless coating of glucose on the NMOFs to improve their biocompatibility. The specific interaction between glucose and glucose-transported protein ensures active tumor-targeting ability. Moreover, the glucose layer, as a pH-responsive diol-borate gatekeeper, prevents the premature leakage of drugs. The proposed smart theranostic nanoplatform was well used in MR imaging-guided tumor-targeted precise chemotherapy. This strategy is simply extended to the design of other MOF-glucose composites for diverse applications, such as X-ray computed tomography imaging of gastrointestinal tract with Yb-MOFs-Glu. BBDC, as a functional ligand, provides a simple and universal way to fabricate smart NMOF theranostic platforms with multifunction as "three birds with one stone". The facile and universal strategy lays down a new way to develop multifunctional nanoagents for precision medicine.

RESUMEN

Drug-loading often suffers from tedious procedures, limited loading efficiency, slow release, and therefore a low curative effect. Cancer easily recurs and metastasizes even after a solid tumor is removed. Herein, we report a simple strategy with multi-drug co-loading and burst drug release for a high curative effect and anti-recurrence/metastasis. CuS nanoparticles, protoporphyrin IX, and doxorubicin were added to the precursors of ZIF-8 with one-pot co-loading during the formation of ZIF-8 for chemo-, photothermal-, and photodynamic-therapy to eliminate solid tumors. Negative CpG, as a kind of immune adjuvant, was adsorbed on the positive surface of ZIF-8 to inhibit the recurrence and metastasis of tumors with its long-term immune response. Precision treatment with one-pot multi-drug co-loading, controllable drug delivery, and multi-modality therapy may be anticipated by this versatile strategy.
