RESUMO

Water responsive polymers represent a remarkable group of soft materials, acting as a laboratory for diverse water responsive physical phenomena and cutting-edge biology-electronics interfaces. We report on peculiarly distinctive viscoelastic behaviors of the biobased water responsive polymer cellulose 10-undecenoyl ester, while biobased regenerated cellulose displays stronger hydroplastic behaviors. We discovered a novel hydrous deformation mechanism involving the stretching of hydrogen bonds mediated by hydroxyl groups and water molecules, serving as a crucial factor in accommodating deformations. In parallel, the microstructure of cellulose 10-undecenoyl ester with unique coexisting nanoparticles and a continuous phase of entangled chains is mechanically resilient in the anhydrous state but enhances structural stiffness in the hydrous state. This variation arises from a different hydration level within the hydrous microstructure. Such a fundamental discovery offers valuable insights into the connection between the microscopic physical properties that can be influenced by water and the corresponding viscoelastic responses, extending its applicability to a wide range of hygroscopic materials.

RESUMO

Carbon dots (CDs), a new type of carbon-based fluorescent nanomaterial, have attracted widespread attention because of their numerous excellent properties. Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable natural resource and possesses broad potential to manufacture different composite and smart materials. Numerous studies have explored the potential of using the components (such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) in lignocellulosic biomass to produce CDs. There are few papers systemically aiming in the review of the state-of-the-art works related to lignocellulosic biomass-derived CDs. In this review, the significant advances in synthesis processes, formation mechanisms, structural characteristics, optical properties, and applications of lignocellulosic biomass-based CDs such as cellulose-based CDs, hemicellulose-based CDs and lignin-based CDs in latest research are reviewed. In addition, future research directions on the improvement of the synthesis technology of CDs using lignocellulosic biomass as raw materials to enhance the properties of CDs are proposed. This review will serve as a road map for scientists engaged in research and exploring more applications of CDs in different science fields to achieve the highest material performance goals of CDs.

RESUMO

With the rapid increase of diabetes cases in the world, there is an increasing demand for slowing down and managing diabetes and its effects. It is considered that a viable prophylactic treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is to reduce carbohydrate digestibility by controlling the activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase to control postprandial hyperglycemia and promote the growth of intestinal beneficial bacteria. In this work, the effects of sulfonated lignin with different sulfonation degrees (0.8 mmol/g, SL1; 2.9 mmol/g, SL2) on the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase and the proliferation of intestinal beneficial bacteria in vitro were investigated. The results showed that both SL1 and SL2 can inhibit the activity of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. The inhibition capacity (IC50, 32.35 µg/mL) of SL2 with a low concentration (0-0.5 mg/mL) to α-amylase was close to that of acarbose to α-amylase (IC50, 27.33 µg/mL). Compared with the control groups, the bacterial cell concentrations of Bifidobacteria adolescentis and Lactobacillus acidophilus cultured with SL1 and SL2 increased in varying degrees (8-36%), and the produced short-chain fatty acids were about 1.2 times higher. This work demonstrates the prospect of sulfonated lignin as a prebiotic for the prevention and treatment of T2DM, which provides new insights for opening up a brand new field of lignin.

RESUMO

The biomass lignin is the only large-volume renewable feedstock that is composed of aromatics but has been largely underutilized and is sought for valorization as a value-added material. Recent research has highlighted lignin as a promising alternative to traditional petrol-based reinforcements and functional additives for rubber composites. This review summarized the recent advances in the functionalization of lignin for a variety of rubber composites, as well as the compounding techniques for effectively dispersing lignin within the rubber matrix. Significant progress has been achieved in the development of high-performance and advanced functional rubber/lignin composites through carefully designing the structure of lignin-based additives and the optimization of interfacial morphologies. This Review discussed the effect of lignin on composite properties, including mechanical reinforcement, dynamic properties, antiaging performance, and oil resistance, and also the advanced stimuli-responsive performance in detail. A critical analysis for the future development of rubber/lignin composites is presented as concluding remarks.

RESUMO

Bisphenol A (BPA), a common bisphenol molecule, is well known in the environment as an endocrine disruptor. Furthermore, BPs (BPA, BPS, BPF, and BPAF) have been shown in recent years to be neurotoxic to zebrafish. Tetramethyl bisphenol F (TMBPF) has recently been introduced as a substitute for bisphenol A (BPA) in various industries, including plastics and food contact coatings. However, a growing number of studies have demonstrated that the toxicity of some BPA substitutes is similar to or even stronger than BPA, posing potential harm to human health and the environment. In this study, we used zebrafish larvae as a model to investigate the neurodevelopmental effects of TMBPF at different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 mg/L). Our results showed that exposure to TMBPF at concentrations higher than 4 mg/L for 72 h post-fertilization (hpf) resulted in zebrafish mortality, whereas exposure to 2 mg/L for 144 hpf caused deformities. Furthermore, TMBPF exposure inhibited the development of the central nervous system, motor nerves, and dopamine neurons in zebrafish. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis revealed that TMBPF exposure significantly down-regulated the expression of oxidative stress-related genes (Cu/Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, and CAT) and neurodevelopmental genes (mbp, gafp, and syn2a), while up-regulated the expression of dopamine-related genes (th1, th2, and dat). Notably, treatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) alleviated TMBPF-induced toxicity. NAC can regulate the expression of genes related to oxidative stress, neurodevelopment and dopamine development, and make the nerve development of zebrafish normal. Overall, our research suggested that TMBPF may disrupt the development of the early central nervous system and dopamine neurons, leading to abnormal motor behavior in zebrafish larvae. These results highlight the potential risks associated with the use of TMBPF in various industries and the importance to evaluate its potential risks to human health and the environment.

RESUMO

Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) enriched with high fractions of X2-X3 are regarded as an effective prebiotic for regulating the intestinal microflora. In this study, the original XOS solution was obtained from bamboo shoots through hydrothermal pretreatment under optimized conditions. Subsequently, enzymatic hydrolysis with endo-xylanase was performed on the original XOS solution to enhance the abundance of the X2-X3 fractions. The results demonstrated that hydrothermal pretreatment yielded 21.24% of XOS in the hydrolysate solution, and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis significantly increased the proportion of the X2-X3 fractions from 38.87% to 68.21%. Moreover, the XOS solutions with higher amounts of X2-X3 fractions exhibited superior performance in promoting the growth of probiotics such as Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Lactobacillus acidophilus in vitro, leading to increased production of short-chain fatty acids. In the in vivo colitis mouse model, XOS solutions with higher contents of X2-X3 fractions demonstrated enhanced efficacy against intestinal inflammation. Compared with the colitis mice (model group), the XOS solution with higher X2-X3 fractions (S1 group) could significantly increase the number of Streptomyces in the intestinal microflora, while the original XOS solution (S2 group) could significantly increase the number of Bacteroides in the intestinal microflora of colitis mice. In addition, the abundances of Alcaligenes and Pasteurella in the intestinal microflora of the S1 and S2 groups were much lower than in the model group. This effect was attributed to the ability of these XOS solutions to enhance species diversity, reversing the imbalance and disorder within the intestinal microflora. Overall, this work highlights the outstanding potential of XOS enriched with high contents of X2-X3 fractions as a regulator of the intestinal microbiota and as an anti-colitis agent.

RESUMO

Chitin, a kind of second abundant natural saccharide, has great potential in biomedical applications. Here, chitin nanofibers combined with magnetic nanoparticles, a magnetic hydrogel, was prepared in one step by mixing Fe ions with partially deacetylated chitin nanofibers (DEChNs) and physically coagulating in an ammonia gas bath. The storage modulus of the prepared magnetic DEChN (M-DEChN) hydrogels reached 5507 Pa and could be remolded by adjusting the pH value assisted with an ultrasound treatment. In addition, the M-DEChN hydrogels showed an assignable heating behavior in alternating electromagnetic fields (AMFs), and the temperature of the M-DEChN was adjustable by controlling the content of magnetic particles inside. Benefiting from the remote heating ability, the biocompatible magnetic hydrogel showed thermoablation ability to osteosarcoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. These kinds of M-DEChN hydrogels show great application prospects in killing cancer cells.

RESUMO

In this study, the anti-inflammatory activity of sulfated polysaccharides isolated from the green seaweed Codium fragile (CFCE-PS) was investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages and zebrafish. The results demonstrated that CFCE-PS significantly increased the viability of LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. CFCE-PS remarkably and concentration-dependently reduced the levels of inflammatory molecules including prostaglandin E2, nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. In addition, in vivo test results indicated that CFCE-PS effectively reduced reactive oxygen species, cell death, and NO levels in LPS-stimulated zebrafish. Thus, these results indicate that CFCE-PS possesses in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities and suggest it is a potential ingredient in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.

RESUMO

Skin is the largest organ of humans. Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) is the primary environmental factor that causes skin damage. The compound, (-)-loliode, isolated from the brown seaweed Sargassum horneri, showed strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in in vitro and in vivo models. To further explore the potential of (-)-loliode in cosmetics, in the present study, we investigated the photoprotective effect of (-)-loliode in vitro in skin cells and in vivo in zebrafish. The results indicated that (-)-loliode significantly reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, improved cell viability, and suppressed apoptosis of UVB-irradiated human keratinocytes. In addition, (-)-loliode remarkably attenuated oxidative damage, improved collagen synthesis, and inhibited matrix metalloproteinases expression in UVB-irradiated human dermal fibroblasts. Furthermore, the in vivo test demonstrated that (-)-loliode effectively and dose-dependently suppressed UVB-induced zebrafish damage displayed in decreasing the levels of ROS, nitric oxide, lipid peroxidation, and cell death in UVB-irradiated zebrafish. These results indicate that (-)-loliode possesses strong photoprotective activities and suggest (-)-loliode may an ideal ingredient in the pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries.

RESUMO

The strategy using water as a medium for dynamic modulation of competitive plasticity and viscoelasticity provides a unique perspective to attain adaptive materials. We reveal sustainable polymers, herein cellulose phenoxyacetate as a typical example, with unusual water-responsive dual-mechanic functionalities addressed via a chronological water training strategy. The temporal significance of such water-responsive mechanical behaviors becomes apparent considering that a mere 3-minute exposure or a prolonged 3-hour exposure to water induced different types of mechano-responsiveness. This endows the materials with multiple recoverable shape-changes during water and air training, and consequently even underlines the switchability between the pre-loaded stable water shapes (> 20 months) and the sequentially fixed air shapes. Our discovery exploits the competitive mechanics initiated by water training, enabling polymers with spatially regulated microstructures via their inherently distinct mechanical properties. Insights into the molecular changes represents a considerable fundamental innovation, can be broadly applicable to a diverse array of hydroadaptive polymers.

RESUMO

As the most important phenolic biopolymer in nature, lignin shows promising application potentialities in various bioactivities in vivo and in vitro, mainly including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and antidiabetic control. In this work, several carbon-based solid acids were synthesized to catalyze the fragmentation of organosolv lignin (OL). The generated lignin fragments, with controllable molecular weight and functional groups, were further evaluated for their application in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The results suggested that the urea-doped catalyst (SUPC) showed a more excellent catalytic performance in producing diethyl ether insoluble lignin (DEIL) and diethyl ether soluble lignin (DESL). In addition, the lignin fragments have a good therapeutic effect on the cell model of T2DM. Compared with the insulin resistance model, DEIL obtained by catalytic depolymerization of OL with SUPC could improve the glucose consumption of insulin-resistant cells. Moreover, low-concentration samples (50 µg/mL) can promote glucose consumption (19.7 mM) more than the traditional drug rosiglitazone (17.5 mM). This work demonstrates the prospect of depolymerized lignin for the prevention and treatment of T2DM and provides a new application field for lignin degradation products.

RESUMO

High-purity pulp fibers can be obtained by using chlorine dioxide to oxidize lignin. However, organic halogen compounds (AOX) are generated from chlorination side reactions during the lignin oxidation process. In this study, phenolic lignin model compounds with different substituents were selected. The effects of substituent position on the production of free radicals and oxidative ring opening in benzene rings were analyzed. It was found that the structural transformation of lignin and the reaction consumption of ClO2 were significantly changed under high concentration of ClO2. The molar consumption ratio of compound to ClO2 was increased from 1:2 to 1:3. Quinone, an intermediate product that promotes the formation of phenoxy radicals, was found to be stabilized in the reaction. This is attributed to that the benzene ring of lignin is activated through long-range electrostatic interactions. The formation of free radicals and the oxidative ring-opening reaction of benzene rings were facilitated. The efficient oxidation of lignin by ClO2 was fulfilled. Chlorination reactions of lignin were suppressed at elevated oxidation efficiency. The pollution load of wastewater was significantly reduced. AOX generation was reduced by 69.27 %. This provides a new method for efficient oxidative degradation of lignin and preparation of high purity pulp fiber.

RESUMO

Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major bio-components in lignocellulosic biomass (BC-LB), which possess excellent biomechanical properties and biocompatibility to satisfy the demands of orthopedic applications. To understand the basis and trends in the development of major bio-components in BC-LB in orthopedics, the bibliometric technology was applied to get unique insights based on the published papers (741) in the Web of Science (WOS) database from January 1st, 2001, to February 14th, 2023. The analysis includes the annual distributions of publications, keywords co-linearity, research hotspots exploration, author collaboration networks, published journals, and clustering of co-cited literature. The results reveal a steady growth in publications focusing on the application of BC-LB in orthopedics, with China and the United States leading in research output. The "International Journal of Biological Macromolecules" was identified as the most cited journal for BC-LB research in orthopedics. The research hotspots encompassed bone tissue engineering, cartilage tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems, indicating the fundamental research and potential development in these areas. This study also highlights the challenges associated with the clinical application of BC-LB in orthopedics and provides valuable insights for future advancements in the field.

RESUMO

Pest management technology has been a promising bioconversion method for waste resource utilization. Unlike many pests that consume waste, the larvae of Lucilia sericata, also known as maggots, have many outstanding advantages as following: with their strong adaption to environment and not easily infected and exhibiting a medicinal nutritional value. Herein, the potential efficacies of maggot polysaccharides (MP), as well as their underlying mechanisms, were explored in Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice and TNF-α-elicited Caco-2 cells. We extracted two bioactive polysaccharides from maggots, MP-80 and MP-L, whose molecular weights were 4.25 × 103 and 2.28 × 103 g/mol, respectively. MP-80 and MP-L contained nine sugar residues: 1,4-α-Arap, 1,3-ß-Galp, 1,4,6-ß-Galp, 1,6-α-Glcp, 1-α-Glcp, 1,4-ß-Glcp, 1-ß-Xylp, 1,2-α-Manp, and 1-ß-Manp. We demonstrated that MP-80 and MP-L significantly ameliorated DSS-induced symptoms and histopathological damage. Immuno-analysis revealed that compared with MP-L, MP-80 could better restore intestinal barrier and reduced inflammation by suppressing NLRP3/NF-κB pathways, which might be attributed to its enriched galactose fraction. Moreover, 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that MP-80 and MP-L both improved the dysbiosis and diversity of gut microbiota and acted on multiple microbial functions. Our study sheds new light on the possibility of using maggot polysaccharides as an alternative therapy for colitis.

RESUMO

Lignin, as an abundant aromatic biopolymer in plants, has great potential for medical applications due to its active sites, antioxidant activity, low biotoxicity, and good biocompatibility. In this work, a simple and ecofriendly approach for lignin fractionation and modification was developed to improve the antitumor activity of lignin. The lignin fraction KL-3 obtained by the lignin gradient acid precipitation at pH = 9-13 showed good cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the cell-feeding lignin after additional structural modifications such as demethylation (DKL-3), sulfonation (SL-3), and demethylsulfonation (DSKL-3) could exhibit higher glutathione responsiveness in the tumor microenvironment, resulting in reactive oxygen species accumulation and mitochondrial damage and eventually leading to apoptosis in HepG2 cells with minimal damage to normal cells. The IC50 values for KL-3, SL-3, and DSKL-3 were 0.71, 0.57, and 0.41 mg/mL, respectively, which were superior to those of other biomass extractives or unmodified lignin. Importantly, in vivo experiments conducted in nude mouse models demonstrated good biosafety and effective tumor destruction. This work provides a promising example of constructing carrier-free functionalized lignin antitumor materials with different structures for inhibiting the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells, which is expected to improve cancer therapy outcomes.

RESUMO

Demethylation modification of lignin is an effective strategy to overcome the barrier to its high-value conversion. The purpose of this study focuses on the new proton-based ionic liquid (PIL) 1, 2-propanediamine/glycolic acid (PD/GA) as a catalyst and solvent to achieve the targeted oxidation of lignin. The PD/GA solvents have higher selectivity and efficiency. Optimal phenolic hydroxyl (PH)-increment was achieved, demonstrating enhanced demethylating effect on lignin by modulating the acid-base molar ratio, reaction temperature, and reaction time. Compared to ethanolamine/acetic acid (CE/AC) treatment, the PD/GA treatment at molar ratio 1.25, temperature 60 °C, and 3 h increased the PH-content from 37.74 to 59.91 %. Additionally, the lignin treated with PD/GA exhibited excellent recyclability, featuring a larger Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area (1.45 m2.g-1), total pore volume (9.51*10-3 cm3.g-1), and mesoporous size (26.15 nm). The treated lignin yielded maximum ultraviolet resistance and antioxidant activity. These results present new avenues for the development of green and efficient lignin demethylation methods.

RESUMO

Current DES pretreatment is often performed under relatively severe conditions with high temperature, long time, and high DES usage. This work studied a short-time diol DES (deep eutectic solvent) pretreatment under mild conditions to fractionate the bamboo, facilitate enzymatic hydrolysis, and obtain high-quality lignin. At an optimized condition of 130 °C for only 10 min, lignin and xylan removal reached 61.34 % and 84.15 %, with residual glucan showing a ~90 % enzymatic hydrolysis yield. Equally important, the dissolved lignin could be readily recovered with 97.51 % yield, exhibiting 96.65 % ß-O-4 preservation. The fractionation and lignin protection mechanisms were unveiled by XRD, FTIR, cellulose-DP, 2D HSQC NMR, 31P NMR and GPC analysis. This study highlighted that short-time fractionation of bamboo can be achieved by a diol-based DES which is an ideal strategy to upgrade the lignocellulose biomass for high enzymatic hydrolysis yields and high-quality lignin stream.

RESUMO

Surfactant-assisted pretreatment has been widely reported to improve the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose by promoting removal of xylan and lignin. Hence, this work innovatively proposed the use of sodium lignosulfonate (SL) as an additive of alkaline pretreatment (AP), and evaluated its influence on the cellulosic digestibility of wheat straw (WS). The results displayed that the maximum of 72-h cellulosic digestibility could reach 83.5% as 15 g/L SL was introduced to the AP process (SAP), while the cellulosic digestibility of hydrothermal and alkaline pretreated WS was only 63.6% and 70.2%, respectively. These increments were subsequently attributed to the improvement of 6.5% xylan and 26.8% lignin accelerated by SAP, resulting in positive changes in structural characteristics such as accessibility, specific surface area, and cellulosic crystalline structure. The utilization of lignin-based surfactants in pretreatment has realized the economic feasibility of lignocellulosic biorefining and broadened the application prospect of surfactants.

RESUMO

An efficient deep eutectic solvent (DES) was synthesized by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and ethylene glycol (EG) and employed to treat rape straw (RS) for advancing enzymatic saccharification in this work. By optimizing the pretreatment parameters, the results displayed that the novel DES was strongly selective towards removing lignin and xylan while preserving cellulose. Under optimum conditions with 1:6 of CTAB: EG in DES, 180 °C and 80 min, the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of RS was enhanced by 46.0% due to the 62.2% of delignification and 53.2% of xylan removal during CTAB: EG pretreatment. In terms of the recalcitrant structure of RS, DES pretreatment caused the increment of cellulosic accessibility, reduction of hydrophobicity and surface area of lignin, and migration of cellulosic crystalline structure, which was associated with its enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency. Overall, this study presented an emerging method for the effective fractionation and valorization of lignocellulosic biomass within biorefinery technology.
