Lactic acid is an important platform feedstock for synthesizing various chemicals. Lactic acid is normally converted from any sugar such as glucose, and Sn-β zeolite is an effective catalyst. In this study, β zeolite with different Si/Al ratios was prepared and characterized. Sn precursor is reacted with β zeolite by high-energy mixing and introduced into the framework of β zeolite to obtain Sn-β zeolite with different Si/Al ratios. The physicochemical properties of Sn-β zeolite were characterized by XRD, FTIR, N physical adsorption, UV Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and pyridine adsorption FTIR. The results showed that when the Si/Al molar ratio of β zeolite was less than 45, the skeleton load of Sn in β zeolite increased effectively with the decrease in aluminum content, and the Lewis acid and Brønsted acid site numbers could be improved. As the Si/Al ratio exceeded 45, the increase in Sn load in β zeolite slowed down, and the Lewis acid and Brønsted acid site numbers were decreased. The results from the catalytic conversion of glucose to lactic acid confirmed that the too high Si/Al ratio caused a decrease conversion rate. The highest performance of the prepared Sn-β zeolites with the highest catalytic efficiency had a glucose conversion rate of 96.69% and lactic acid yield of 39.42% within 7 h at 190 °C in a pressure reactor.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a prevalent inflammatory vascular disease characterized by plaque formation, primarily composed of foam cells laden with lipids. Despite lipid-lowering therapies, effective plaque clearance remains challenging due to the overexpression of the CD47 molecule on apoptotic foam cells, inhibiting macrophage-mediated cellular efferocytosis and plaque resolution. Moreover, AS lesions are often associated with severe inflammation and oxidative stress, exacerbating disease progression.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in intercellular and interkingdom communication in the complex communities that constitute the niche-specific microbiome of the colonized host. Therefore, studying the structure and content of EVs produced by resident bacteria is crucial to understanding their functionality and impact on the host and other microorganisms. Bacterial EVs were isolated by differential centrifugation, their size and concentration were measured by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis, and the cargo proteins were identified by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry.
