17beta-19-nortestosterone (17beta-NT) has been illegally used in antifatigue functional foods to promote muscle growth and improve endurance. A rapid and sensitive solid-phase extraction-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (SPE-ELISA) method was developed and successfully applied to analyze the levels of 17beta-NT in antifatigue functional foods. A polyclonal antibody against 17beta-NT was produced from rabbits immunized with the 17beta-NT-BSA conjugate, and a competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed for the rapid detection of 17beta-NT. The concentration causing 50% inhibition (IC(50)) and the limit of detection (LOD) were found to be 0.08 and 0.0055 ng/mL, respectively; this was better than methods previously reported that had a LOD of 2.4 ng/mL. C(18) cartridges were investigated for use in removing the effects of matrix in foods, and the sample purification protocol was optimized. Using the developed SPE-ELISA method, recoveries of functional food samples were obtained in the range of 71% to 91.5%. Moreover, 2 kinds of antifatigue functional foods were analyzed using the established ELISA and HPLC methods. The correlation coefficient of the results obtained using the 2 methods was greater than 0.98. Thus, the preliminary evaluation of the SPE-ELISA method proved that it is a specific, sensitive, and precise tool that can be used for the practical detection of 17beta-NT in various antifatigue functional food samples.

Achieving a synergy of biocompatibility and extreme environmental adaptability with excellent mechanical property remains challenging in the development of synthetic materials. Herein, a "bottom-up" solution-interface-induced self-assembly strategy is adopted to develop a compressible, anti-fatigue, extreme environment adaptable, biocompatible, and recyclable organohydrogel composed of chitosan-lignosulfonate-gelatin by constructing noncovalent bonded conjoined network. The ethylene glycol/water solvent induced lignosulfonate nanoparticles function as bridge in chitosan/gelation network, forming multiple interfacial interactions that can effectively dissipate energy.

Excessive exercise can lead to fatigue, consequently affect exercise performance, and further have an adverse impact to human health. The synergistic effects of ginsenosides, salidroside, and syringin on improving exercise performance remain unknown. Hence, the effects of Chinese herb powder (CHP) which consisted of bioactive compounds such as ginsenosides (Rg1, Re, and Rb1), salidroside, and syringin on exercise performance, energy metabolism, tissue damage, antioxidant activity, and inflammatory cytokine were investigated in exhaustive exercise rats.

Lightweight cellular materials with high stiffness and excellent recoverability are critically important in structural engineering applications, but the intrinsic conflict between these two properties presents a significant challenge. Here, a topological cellular hierarchy is presented, designed to fabricate ultra-stiff (>10 MPa modulus) yet super-elastic (>90% recoverable strain) graphene aerogels. This topological cellular hierarchy, composed of massive corrugated pores and nanowalls, is designed to carry high loads through predominantly reversible buckling within the honeycomb framework.

The average life expectancy is increasing worldwide, but the same cannot be said for a healthy life expectancy (defined as the period during which a person can live a healthy and independent life). Therefore, a major challenge is how to extend healthy life expectancy. One option is to reduce age-related muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and cognitive decline.
