This study aimed to optimize the key parameters of extraction methods and to increase the recovery yields of intact xanthophylls (violaxanthin, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin) from microalgae (). An effective, simple, and fast extraction protocol is described. It consists of a grinding pretreatment followed by a microwave-assisted extraction, using ethanol 90% as an environmentally preferable extraction solvent. Xanthopylls were quantified using high performance liquid chromatography. Irradiation time of 6 s only resulted in the extraction of violaxanthin (4.479 ± 0.009 mg/g), astaxanthin (4.154 ± 0.013 mg/g), and zeaxanthin (4.776 ± 0.120 mg/g). The described protocol seems to be the fastest extraction method of xantophylls compared to the literature and could be an advantage for industrial scale, while saving time and energy.

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) show great promise as cathode candidates for aqueous zinc-ion batteries thanks to their high operating voltage, open-framework structure, and low cost. However, suffering from numerous vacancies and crystal water, the electrochemical performance of PBAs remains unsatisfactory, with limited capacity and poor cycle life. Here, a simple coprecipitation method is shown to synthesize well-crystallized cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) with a small amount of water and high specific surface area.

Inferring underlying microscopic dynamics from low-dimensional experimental signals is a central problem in physics, chemistry, and biology. As a trade-off between molecular complexity and the low-dimensional nature of experimental data, mesoscopic descriptions such as the Markovian master equation are commonly used. The states in such descriptions usually include multiple microscopic states, and the ensuing coarse-grained dynamics are generally non-Markovian.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Despite improvements with fast-track treatment protocols, 0.5% of patients still develop a VTE within 90-days postoperatively.

Aim And Objective: It is well established that 4H-pyran derivatives hold a significant position in synthetic organic chemistry due to their diverse biological and pharmacological properties. This work aims to introduce a novel synthetic pathway for highly functionalized 4H-pyran derivatives, achieved through a 1,4-Michael addition followed by a cascade cyclization. This reaction is catalyzed by LiOH·H2O under ultrasonic irradiation in water, offering an efficient and environmentally friendly approach.

Accompanying the occurrence of inflammatory reaction to release cytokines, pyroptosis can activate an immune response for resistance against cancer. Consequently, elevated levels of cytokines released by cancer cells are highly correlated with the effectiveness of cancer treatment. Herein, a noninvasive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) immunosensor was developed to sensitively and specifically measure the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a proinflammatory cytokine, during the cell pyroptosis process.
