Near‐Infrared‐Controlled,Targeted Hydrophobic Drug‐Delivery System for Synergistic Cancer Therapy

Hydrophobicity has been an obstacle that hinders the use of many anticancer drugs. A critical challenge for cancer therapy concerns the limited availability of effective biocompatible delivery systems for most hydrophobic therapeutic anticancer drugs. In this study, we have developed a targeted near‐infrared (NIR)‐regulated hydrophobic drug‐delivery platform based on gold nanorods incorporated within a mesoporous silica framework (AuMPs). Upon application of NIR light, the photothermal effect of the gold nanorods leads to a rapid rise in the local temperature, thus resulting in the release of the entrapped drug molecules. By integrating chemotherapy and photothermotherapy into one system, we have studied the therapeutic effects of camptothecin‐loaded AuMP‐polyethylene glycol‐folic acid nanocarrier. Results revealed a synergistic effect in vitro and in vivo, which would make it possible to enhance the therapeutic effect of hydrophobic drugs and decrease drug side effects. Studies have shown the feasibility of using this nanocarrier as a targeted and noninvasive remote‐controlled hydrophobic drug‐delivery system with high spatial/temperal resolution. Owing to these advantages, we envision that this NIR‐controlled, targeted drug‐delivery method would promote the development of high‐performance hydrophobic anticancer drug‐delivery system in future clinical applications.     

高耐热PLLA/PDLA共混物的热性能和结晶结构研究

通过熔融共混法制备了一系列等比例聚左旋乳酸(PLLA)/聚右旋乳酸(PDLA)共混试样,采用差示扫描量热法(DSC)、核磁共振(13C-NMR)及广角X射线衍射(WAXD)等方法对共混产物进行了表征和研究分析.结果表明,等比例PLLA和PDLA熔融共混生成了立构复合物(stereocomplex,sc),同时部分均聚物发生酯交换反应,生成了立体嵌段物(stereoblock,sb),从而在DSC升温曲线上sc晶体处出现特殊的熔融双峰现象;随着熔融共混温度升高,sc晶体的生成率和结晶度逐渐下降;聚乳酸立构复合物的加工稳定性较好,二次加工后,sc晶体熔点基本不变,生成率和结晶度提高;由于sc晶体的存在,PLLA/PDLA共混物的耐热性能提高,退火热处理后耐热性能得到进一步提高.这对于开发高耐热聚乳酸及其加工应用具有重要的应用价值.

Ultrabroadband superoscillatory lens composed by plasmonic metasurfaces for subdiffraction light focusing

Conventional optics is diffraction limited due to the cutoff of spatial frequency components, and evanescent waves allow subdiffraction optics at the cost of complex near‐field manipulation. Recently, optical superoscillatory phenomena were employed to realize superresolution lenses in the far field, but suffering from very narrow working wavelength band due to the fragility of the superoscillatory light field. Here, an ultrabroadband superoscillatory lens (UBSOL) is proposed and realized by utilizing the metasurface‐assisted law of refraction and reflection in arrayed nanorectangular apertures with variant orientations. The ultrabroadband feature mainly arises from the nearly dispersionless phase profile of transmitted light through the UBSOL for opposite circulation polarization with respect to the incident light. It is demonstrated in experiments that subdiffraction light focusing behavior holds well with nearly unchanged focal patterns for wavelengths spanning across visible and near‐infrared light. This method is believed to find promising applications in superresolution microscopes or telescopes, high‐density optical data storage, etc.

     

Removal of Anionic Dyes from Aqueous Solution with Layered Cationic Aluminum Oxyhydroxide

It is highly desired yet challenged to find an adsorbent with low cost and excellent performance in the removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution. Here we reported that a layered cationic aluminum oxyhydroxide material hydrothermally synthesized from the low-cost source materials of AlCl₃∙6H₂O, CaO and H₂O, known as JU-111, can meet such criterion in removing methyl orange(MO) and Congo red(CR). JU-111 shows fast adsorption kinetics[especially for CR(15 s)] and high adsorption capacity(MO:>1000 mg/g; CR:>2900 mg/g), surpassing most of the reported adsorbents. Comprehensive characterizations of the adsorption process of MO and CR revealed that both adsorptions were achieved via the anion exchange process. The characteristics of extremely low cost and excellent performance render JU-111 great potential in the practical applications in the removal of anionic dyes.

Effect of formation factors on light crude oil oxidation via TG-FTIR

This research aimed at the investigation of the effect of formation factors on the light crude oil during the high temperature air injection process. For this purpose, thermogravimetric and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy techniques were combined to investigate the light crude oil and oil mixed with formation water and sand at 58, 250, and 450 °C, respectively. The results showed that at different temperature range, the mass drop rate presented different trend and the formation water and sand increased the activation energy of the oxidation reaction. The formation sand exhibited the excellent catalytic effect at relative low temperature. The oxygen addition reaction massively was trigged at 250 °C, and the bond scission reaction dominated at 450 °C. With different additives at different temperature range, the type, concentration, and produced timing of the products presented different tendency.     

A Facile Asymmetric Approach to the Multicyclic Core Structure of Mangicol A

Chiral propargylic ether‐based triene–ynes are synthesized with high enantiomeric purity by employing an asymmetric enyne addition to aldehydes catalyzed by 1,1′‐bi‐2‐naphthol in combination with ZnEt₂, Ti(OiPr)₄ and dicyclohexylamine at room temperature. These substrates are found to undergo a one‐pot domino Pauson–Khand and Diels–Alder cycloaddition catalyzed by [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ under CO to generate a series of multicyclic products with high chemoselectivity and stereoselectivity. These products contain the multicyclic core structure of mangicol A which could facilitate the synthesis and study of this class of natural products.     

A Layered Cationic Aluminum Oxyhydroxide as a Highly Efficient and Selective Trap for Heavy Metal Oxyanions

Cationic framework materials, especially pure inorganic cationic frameworks that can efficiently and selectively capture harmful heavy metal oxyanions from aqueous solution are highly desired yet scarcely reported. Herein, we report the discovery of a 2D cationic aluminum oxyhydroxide, JU-111, which sets a new benchmark for heavy metal oxyanion sorbents, especially for Cr^VI. Its structure was solved based on 3D electron diffraction tomography data. JU-111 shows fast sorption kinetics (ca. 20 min), high capture capacity (105.4 mg g⁻¹), and broad working pH range (3–10) toward Cr^VI oxyanions. Unlike layered double hydroxides (LDHs), which are poorly selective in the presence of CO₃²⁻, JU-111 retains excellent selectivity for Cr^VI even under a large excess of CO₃²⁻. These superior features coupled with the ultra-low cost and environmentally benign nature make JU-111 a promising candidate for toxic metal oxyanion remediation as well as other potential applications.
