Polypyrrole Hollow Nanotubes Loaded with Au and Fe3O4 Nanoparticles for Simultaneous Determination of Ascorbic Acid,Dopamine, and Uric Acid

An ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor was fabricated for electroanalytical determination of ascorbic acid(AA), dopamine(DA) and uric acid(UA) individually and simultaneously based on polypyrrole hollow nanotubes loaded with Au and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles(NPs) uniformly(PPy@Au-Fe₃O₄). The PPy@Au-Fe₃O₄ nanotubes were synthesized in one-pot using MoO₃ nanorods as templates and the polymerization of Py, the formation of Au and Fe₃O₄ NPs and the removel of MoO₃ templates took place stimultaneously. Electrochemical studies reveal that PPy@Au-Fe₃O₄modified glassy carbon electrode(GCE) possesses excellent electro-catalytic activities toward the oxidation of AA, DA and UA. Their oxidation peak currents increase linearly in the concentration ranges of 1-2000 μmol/L for AA, 0.01-25 and 25-300 μmol/L for DA and 0.1-300 μmol/L for UA. Their detection limit values(S/N=3) were calculated as 0.45, 0.0049, and 0.051 μmol/L for AA, DA and UA in the individual detection. By changing the concentrations simultaneously, the calibration curves showed linearity to 1000, 200, and 200 μmol/L with detection limit of 0.39, 0.0060, and 0.060 μmol/L for AA, DA, and UA, respectively. Finally, the obtained biosensor was successfully applied to the detection of AA, DA, and UA with satisfactory results on actual samples.

Mixed Quantum Classical Reaction Rates based on the Phase Space Formulation of the Hierarchical Equations of Motion

In a previous work [J. Chem. Phys. 140 , 174105 (2014)], we have shown that a mixed quantum classical (MQC) rate theory can be derived to investigate the quantum tunneling effects in the proton transfer reactions. However, the method is based on the high temperature approximation of the hierarchical equation of motion (HEOM) with the Debye-Drude spectral density, and results in a multi-state Zusman type of equation. We now extend this theory to include quantum effects of the bath degrees of freedom. By writing the full HEOM into a multidimensional partial differential equation in phase space, we can define a new reaction coordinate, and the previous method can be generalized to the full quantum regime. The validity of the new method is demonstrated by using numerical examples, including the spin-Boson model, and the double well model for proton transfer reaction. The new method is found to resolve some key problems of the previous theory based on high temperature approximation, including possible numerical instability in long time simulation and wrong rate constant at low temperatures.     

An emerging strategy for tracing the anti-erectile dysfunction components of raw and salt-processed semens of Astragali Complanati by combinatory liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry-based quantitative analysis,efficacy assessment on impotent rats,and partial least squares regression

Semens of Astragali Complanati own anti-erectile dysfunction effect; however, the components which contribute to the anti-erectile dysfunction effect remain unclear. This work raised a strategy that integrates liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry-based quantitative analysis, anti-erectile dysfunction assessment on impotent rats, and their relationship analysis for pinpointing anti-erectile dysfunction components from semens of Astragali Complanati. For simultaneous quantification of seven major components in raw and salt-processed semens of Astragali Complanati, an accurate and reliable liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry method was developed under multiple reaction monitoring mode. Of note, chloramphenicol was employed as the internal standard. The method showed good linearity and repeatability, where the recovery rates of each component ranged from 98.1 to 104.7%, and the precisions of intra- and interday were all within 3.4%. The method has been used for quantification of the seven major components in 10 batches of raw and salt-processed semens of Astragali Complanati. Then, the anti-erectile dysfunction effects of raw and salt-processed semens of Astragali Complanati were evaluated on impotent rats. Gray relationship analysis and partial least squares regression were combined for elucidating the relationship. As a result, complanatuside, astragalin, complanatoside B, and kaempferol were found to be responsible for anti-erectile dysfunction effect of Astragali Complanati.     

Surface domain potential difference-mediated efficient charge separation on a defective ZnIn2S4 microsphere photocatalyst

Low-efficiency charge separation in metal sulfides is a major obstacle to realizing high photocatalytic performance. Herein, we propose the concept of a similar surface domain potential difference between adjacent microdomains with and without surface S vacancies on ZnIn₂S₄ to mediate charge separation. Defective ZnIn₂S₄ microspheres (DZISNPs) are prepared through a solvothermal method combined with a low-temperature hydrogenation surface engineering strategy. The as-prepared DZISNPs with a narrowed bandgap of 2.38 eV possess a large specific surface area of 178.5 m² g^?1, a pore size of 6.89 nm, and a pore volume of 0.36 cm³ g^?1, which further improves the visible light absorption. The resultant DZISNPs exhibit excellent visible light activity (2.15 mmol h^?1 g^?1), which is ～two-fold higher than that of the original DZISNP. The experimental results and DFT calculations reveal that the enhanced property can be a result of the surface S vacancy-induced surface domain potential difference, promoting the spatial separation of electrons and holes. Furthermore, the long-term stability of the DZISNPs indicates that the formation of surface S vacancies can inhibit the photocorrosion of ZnIn₂S₄. This strategy provides new insights for fabricating highly efficient and stable sulfide photocatalysts.     

Evaluation on bioactivities of triterpenes from Bergenia emeiensis

Bergenia emeiensis is a traditional folk medicine in China. Most studies are focusing on the bioactivity of bergenin, neglecting other compounds. Therefore, in this present work, the antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer abilities of triterpenes from B. emeiensis rhizomes (TBE) were comprehensively evaluated. The results showed that TBE could well scavenge DPPH with a lower EC50 of 0.29 mg/mL and could improve the cell viability of CHO cells against H₂O₂ induced cell death. Additionally, TBE also enhanced the resistance of C. elegans under thermal stress, exhibiting a strong antioxidant potential in vivo. Moreover, TBE showed a certain antibacterial ability on five kind strains such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa while TBE could not significantly inhibit the growth of plant pathogenic fungi. Furthermore, TBE possessed an excellent suppression ability on the proliferation of cancer cells especially Hela and Hep G2 cells with an IC50 of 41.79 μg/mL and 48.62 μg/mL at 48 h, respectively. After fractionally extracted with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol, ethanol phase (EP) contained the most triterpenes, followed by ethyl acetate phase (EAP) and petroleum ether phase (PEP). Besides, EP and EAP exhibited a strong antioxidant capacity and also inhibited the proliferation of Hela and Hep G2 cells with the effect of pro-oxidation by inducing a high level of ROS and decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential, thus causing oxidative stress then inducing cell apoptosis. Therefore, these outcomes indicated the triterpenes from B. emeiensis possessed a strong antioxidant ability and an anticancer effect, thus making B. emeiensis become a promising potential alternative in pharmacological field.
