Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is a type of phthalate ester. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have examined the removal of DBP. In this study we use a composite material of N-Ti/13X/MCM-41, synthesized by nitrogen, molecular sieve 13X, tetrabutyl orthotitanate and tetraethyl orthosilicate as raw materials, CTAB as a structural template and tetrabutyl titanate and urea under hydrothermal conditions. The optimized experimental conditions, such as the amount of material, reaction time, pH value and initial concentration were tested. The surface areas of N-Ti/13X/MCM-41 were found to be 664 m2g(-1). TEM micrographs revealed N-Ti/13X/MCM-41 is consisting of aggregates of spherical particles, similar with standard synthesized MCM-41 (Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41). Through photocatalytic degradation experiments, the optimum degradation efficiency of DBP was more than 90% at a pH 6.0 with catalyst dosing of 0.15 g L(-1).

Biobased poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEF)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) block copolymers have been synthesized using ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) in the presence of PEF in different mass ratios. An increase in intrinsic viscosity is observed for the block copolymers with higher ε-CL content due to the extension of their macromolecular chain. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MS) was employed to understand the composition and structure of the produced block copolymers.

Stilbenes are specialized metabolites that are particularly abundant in species. Although the biosynthetic pathways of stilbenes have been well-characterized, the role of specific peroxidases in stilbene oligomerization remains to be investigated. In this study, we used grapevine cell cultures to characterize the functional role of peroxidase 4 (VvPRX4) in the production of resveratrol oligomers after elicitation with methyl jasmonate (MeJA).

This work established the cytotoxic, antioxidant and anticancer effects of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) manufactured with fennel extract, especially on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as well. CuNPs caused cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner for two NSCLC cell lines, A549 and H1650. At 100 μg/ml, CuNPs reduced cell viability to 70% in A549 cells and 65% in H1650 cells.

Unraveling the metabolism of Treponema pallidum is a key component to understanding the pathogenesis of the human disease that it causes, syphilis. For decades, it was assumed that glucose was the sole carbon/energy source for this parasitic spirochete. But the lack of citric-acid-cycle enzymes suggested that alternative sources could be utilized, especially in microaerophilic host environments where glycolysis should not be robust.

Introduction: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and irreversible interstitial lung disease characterized by a lack of effective therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered significant interest in the realm of lung regeneration due to their abundant availability, ease of isolation, and capacity for expansion. The objective of our study was to investigate the potential therapeutic role of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) in the management of PF, with a focus on the alterations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites during the use of UC-MSCs for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, as well as the possible mechanisms involved.
