还原-氧化协同降解全/多卤代有机污染物

全/多卤代有机污染物大多具有生态毒性、生物蓄积性、环境持久性及长距离迁移性,不仅危害环境与生态安全,而且可经食物链传递威胁人类健康。由于卤原子是吸电子基团且取代数目多,这类物质的最高占据分子轨道能较低,难于被氧化降解,相反较易被还原法脱卤降解。随卤原子取代数减少,脱卤产物难被进一步还原,而其毒性甚至高于母体污染物。注意到低卤代有机物更容易发生氧化降解,一些研究构建了还原-氧化接力降解体系,即先利用还原法将全/多卤代有机污染物还原为低卤代产物,再利用氧化法降解这些中间产物,从而实现深度/完全脱卤和矿化。本文根据催化反应类型对还原-氧化联用法进行了归纳,分类介绍了基于传统化学催化、光催化、电化学、光电化学及机械化学等构建还原-氧化协同降解体系的原理及应用,以期为开发高效的处置技术提供思路和建议。     

钴铁水滑石基材料在电催化析氧中的应用

析氧反应(OER)是电催化裂解水、二次金属-空气电池和可再生燃料电池等绿色可持续能源储存和转化技术中的关键步骤,但其较高的势垒和迟滞的动力学过程限制了反应的效率。因此,设计开发高效、稳定的非贵金属催化剂是新能源领域面临的挑战之一。钴铁水滑石(CoFe LDH)材料具有独特的二维层状结构、丰富多变的化学组成、高分散的金属阳离子、优异的稳定性和成本低廉等优点,在OER反应中有广泛的应用前景。但不良的导电性和有限的活性位点阻碍了CoFe LDH的工业化应用。本文首先介绍了CoFe LDH的结构并阐述了其OER反应机理,接着总结了CoFe LDH的制备工艺,并详细综述了近年来提升其 OER性能的改性策略:插层剥离、空位制造、材料复合、离子取代和衍生物等。最后讨论了水滑石材料现阶段存在的问题和未来在能源转化和利用领域的发展方向。     

Eco friendly synthesis of fluorescent carbon dots for the sensitive detection of ferric ions and cell imaging

This study established a ferric ion (Fe³⁺) detection method as a result of the fluorescence quenching effect of Fe³⁺ on carbon dots (CDs). Specifically, we proposed, a green microwave synthesis route towards fluorescent CDs that requires only the brewer’s spent grain as starting materials. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to investigate the CDs characteristic: morphology, size distribution, functional groups, and composition, respectively. The experimental results, which were run under optimal experimental conditions, indicated that the fluorescence intensity and concentration of Fe³⁺ were within the desired linear range (0.3–7 μM). The detection limit of this assay towards Fe³⁺ was 95 nM. The proposed method showed significant selectivity with respect to interfering ions. We evaluated the potential application of this method with tap water, lake water and fetal bovine serum as real samples. Additionally, the CDs could be served as superior bioimaging probes in Hela cells as a result of their excellent optical stability and good biocompatibility. In a word, the present study provides a new idea for CDs derived from the waste of agricultural products for detecting food or environmental contaminants and cell imaging.     

Identification,Characterization and Antihypertensive Effect In Vivo of a Novel ACE-Inhibitory Heptapeptide from Defatted Areca Nut Kernel Globulin Hydrolysates

The areca (Areca catechu L.) nut kernel (ANK) is a good potential protein source for its high protein content of 9.89–14.62 g/100 g and a high yield of around 300,000 tons per year in China. However, utilization of the areca nut kernel is limited. To expand the usage of ANK in pharmaceutical or foods industries, areca nut kernel globulin was extracted and angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition peptides were prepared and identified using gel chromatography, reversed phase HPLC separation, UPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis and in silico screening. Finally, a novel ACE-inhibitory heptapeptide (Ala–Pro–Lys–Ile–Glu–Glu–Val) was identified and chemically synthesized. The combination pattern between APKIEEV and ACE, and the inhibition kinetics, antihypertensive effect and endothlein-1 inhibition activity of APKIEEV were studied. The results of the molecular docking demonstrated that APKIEEV could bind to four active sites (not the key active sites) of ACE via short hydrogen bonds and demonstrated high ACE-inhibitory activity (IC₅₀: 550.41 μmol/L). Moreover, APKIEEV exhibited a significantly lowering effect on both the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats, and had considerable suppression ability on intracellular endothelin-1. These results highlight the potential usage of APKIEEV as ingredients of antihypertensive drugs or functional foods.     

Generation of Glycosyl Radicals from Glycosyl Sulfoxides and Its Use in the Synthesis of C‐linked Glycoconjugates

We here report glycosyl sulfoxides appended with an aryl iodide moiety as readily available, air and moisture stable precursors to glycosyl radicals. These glycosyl sulfoxides could be converted to glycosyl radicals by way of a rapid and efficient intramolecular radical substitution event. The use of this type of precursors enabled the synthesis of various complex C‐linked glycoconjugates under mild conditions. This reaction could be performed in aqueous media and is amenable to the synthesis of glycopeptidomimetics and carbohydrate‐DNA conjugates.

Upgrading Solid Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion of Agricultural Waste as Performance Enhancer for Starch-Based Mulching Biofilm

Developing a green and sustainable method to upgrade biogas wastes into high value-added products is attracting more and more public attention. The application of solid residues as a performance enhancer in the manufacture of biofilms is a prospective way to replace conventional plastic based on fossil fuel. In this work, solid digestates from the anaerobic digestion of agricultural wastes, such as straw, cattle and chicken manures, were pretreated by an ultrasonic thermo-alkaline treatment to remove the nonfunctional compositions and then incorporated in plasticized starch paste to prepare mulching biofilms by the solution casting method. The results indicated that solid digestate particles dispersed homogenously in the starch matrix and gradually aggregated under the action of a hydrogen bond, leading to a transformation of the composites to a high crystalline structure. Consequently, the composite biofilm showed a higher tensile strength, elastic modulus, glass transition temperature and degradation temperature compared to the pure starch-based film. The light, water and GHG (greenhouse gas) barrier properties of the biofilm were also reinforced by the addition of solid digestates, performing well in sustaining the soil quality and minimizing N₂O or CH₄ emissions. As such, recycling solid digestates into a biodegradable plastic substitute not only creates a new business opportunity by producing high-performance biofilms but also reduces the environmental risk caused by biogas waste and plastics pollution.

非洲猪瘟病毒检测方法的研究进展

非洲猪瘟是一种影响各个品种与年龄段猪的毁灭性传染病,其特征包括高烧,皮肤发绀,淋巴严重出血,死亡率接近100%,被世界动物卫生组织列为必须及时通报的动物疫病,而我国也将其列为主要的外来动物疾病。自20世纪90年代被报道流行于非洲撒哈拉沙漠以南的国家以来,非洲猪瘟逐步流行于欧洲、南美、俄罗斯高加索地区,并在全球各地爆发,对全球养猪业构成了巨大威胁,造成了巨额经济损失。非洲猪瘟是由双链DNA虫媒病毒——非洲猪瘟病毒引起的,它是非洲猪瘟病毒科非洲猪瘟病毒属的唯一成员,具有复杂的二十面体结构,直径约200 nm。目前来说,还没有针对于非洲猪瘟病毒的特效药和疫苗,其主要的防控策略依靠卫生措施的实施以及对感染或暴露动物的屠宰。因此,非洲猪瘟病毒的检测与早期诊断对于疫情确认和控制至关重要。该文根据非洲猪瘟病毒的检测原理将其检测方法分为病毒分离方法、免疫学检测方法与分子学检测方法,免疫学方法可细分为免疫荧光试验、免疫印迹试验、酶联免疫吸附试验、免疫层析试纸及其他免疫学检测方法,分子学检测方法可细分为聚合酶链式反应、等温扩增技术、CRISPR(成簇规律间隔的短回文重复序列)/Cas系统及其他分子学检测方法。该文对这些方法的原理和特点进行介绍,并对非洲猪瘟病毒检测的研究进展进行综述。因这些方法的检测能力与适用场景尚存在一定不足,故非洲猪瘟病毒检测方法的未来发展方向为在保证灵敏度和特异性的情况下,提高检测限与现场即时诊断的应用能力,研究集中于低成本、工业化、高通量、高性能等方向。
