Insights into the solute-induced water structural transformations are essential to understand the role of water in biological and chemical reaction processes. Herein, the structural changes in water induced by amphiphilic organic molecules were investigated using concentration-dependent derivative Raman spectroscopy (DRS) combined with two-dimensional Raman correlation spectroscopy (2D Raman-COS). We shall restrict our attention in this work to binary mixtures of water with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetone, and isopropanol (IPA), all of which have similar chemical structures.

Carotenoids are a class of natural pigments that play a fundamental role in photosynthesis and optoelectronics. However, the complexity of their energy level structure and electronic states has prevented a clear interpretation of their photophysics and photochemistry. The mediating nonradiative decay of the bright S state to the dark S state of carotenoids involves a population of bridging intermediate state.

The hydrogen-bond (H-bond) dynamics and water structural transitions in aqueous ethylene glycol (EG) solution were investigated on the basis of concentration- and temperature-dependent two-dimensional Raman correlation spectroscopy (2D Raman-COS). At room temperature, EG-induced enhancement of the water structure when the EG/water molar ratio is less than 1:28 resulted from the hydrophobic effect around the methylene groups of EG. The decrease in the temperature caused an enhancement of the Raman peak at about 3200 cm, representing an increase in the orderliness of water molecules.

Bacterial chemotaxis is the phenomenon in which bacteria migrate toward a more favorable niche in response to chemical cues in the environment. The methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) are the principal sensory receptors of the bacterial chemotaxis system. Aerotaxis is a special form of chemotaxis in which oxygen serves as the signaling molecule; the process is dependent on the aerotaxis receptors (Aer) containing the Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain.

Alginate hydrogel has received great attention in diabetic wound healing. However, the limited tunability of the ionic crosslinking method prevents the delicate management of physical properties in response to diverse wound conditions. We addressed this issue by using a microgel particle (fabricated by zinc ions and coordinated through the complex of carboxymethyl chitosan and aldehyde hyaluronic acid) as a novel crosslinker.

Heparin has shown benefits in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) therapy, but the underlying mechanisms were unknown. Extracellular high-mobility group protein-1 (HMGB-1) has been regarded as a central mediator contributing to inflammation exacerbation and disease aggravation. We hypothesized heparin attenuated the disease by targeting HMGB-1-related pathways.

To develop a severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) model transited from mild symptoms, we investigated a "two-hit" strategy with L-arginine in mice. The mice were intraperitoneally injected with ice-cold L-arginine (4 g/kg) twice at an interval of 1 h on the first day and subjected to the repeated operation 72 h afterwards. The results showed the "two-hit" strategy resulted in the destructive damage and extensive necrosis of acinar cells in the pancreas compared with the "one-hit" model.

To make full use of the porcine sources and develop better choice of novel GAGs as anti-coagulants, two fractions of GAGs from the porcine jejunum (A) and duodenum (C) have been separated & purified. The products were further sulfated to give B and D in order to test the influence of sulfate pattern on the bioactivity. The results showed that the relative molecular weight range of A was 3000-50,000 (Mw, g/mol), whereas C had an average molecular weight of 75,885 (Mw, g/mol).

Cascaded stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) of benzene, bromobenzene, chlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, and toluene was investigated by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser with 532 nm wavelength. The results showed that the third-order Stokes SRS of the ring skeleton vibration (CC at 3006 cm) accompanied by another higher-frequency Stokes SRS of the CH stretching vibration (at 3066 cm), which arose only when the third-order Stokes SRS of the ring skeleton was produced, can be attributed to the vibration energy transfer between vibration energy levels of CC and CH. The Stokes and anti-Stokes SRS rings, which originated from the intramolecular energy-transfer-enhanced four-wave mixing (FWM) processes, can be observed only in the forward direction along different angles apart from the pump beam direction.

In this paper, we derive fully implementable first-order time-stepping schemes for McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations, allowing for a drift term with super-linear growth in the state component. We propose Milstein schemes for a time-discretized interacting particle system associated with the McKean-Vlasov equation and prove strong convergence of order 1 and moment stability, taming the drift if only a one-sided Lipschitz condition holds. To derive our main results on strong convergence rates, we make use of calculus on the space of probability measures with finite second-order moments.

A new asymmetrical diarylethene containing a 1H-imidazo [4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline unit was synthesized. The compound showed typical photochromism and functioned as a notable fluorescence switch upon alternating irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. Its closed-ring isomer could be used as a selective 'naked-eye' colorimetric sensor for Cu(2+), accompanied by a notable color change from blue to colorless.

Background: Wolbachia are obligate endosymbiotic bacteria that infect numerous species of arthropods and nematodes. Wolbachia can induce several reproductive phenotypes in their insect hosts including feminization, male-killing, parthenogenesis and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI is the most common phenotype and occurs when Wolbachia-infected males mate with uninfected females resulting in no or very low numbers of viable offspring.
