Inhibiting Effects of S.acus Linnaeus Extracts on GLT-82 Tumor Cell Lines

HailongS. acus Linnaeus was chosen as the experimental material in the experiments and changes of cell morphology, forming rate of clone and changes of division index were conducted to identify the inhibiting effects of Hailong extract on human tumor cell lines (GLT-82). Four days after medication, most of the cells changed their normal morphology of tumor cells and became round, broken and even broke into pieces. The inhibiting rates could reach 75.1% on the fourth day. The division index reduced strongly and the clone could not form or the forming rate was very low. With the extract concentration increasing and the time prolonging, the inhibiting effect increased. These results indicate that Hailong has striking anti-tumor effects and will have a perfect future in the fields of treatment and prevention of cancer.

Effect of Octadecadienoic Acid on Proliferation and Apoptosis of Glioma Cells and Its Mechanism

[Objectives] To explore the inhibitory effect of octadecadienoic acid (ODA) on proliferation and apoptosis of glioma cells and its mechanism. [Methods] Cultured human glioma cells (cell density 2×10^(6) cells/L) were divided into three groups: solvent control group (DMSO, 30 μL/L), 5-FU group (10 mg/L) and octadecadienoic acid group (0.3, 0.6, 1.2 mg/L). The toxic effects of ODA on glioma cells were detected by trypan blue and thiazolium blue (MTT). The expression of P53, PI3K, P21, PKB/Akt and caspase-9 protein in glioma cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). [Results] The cell count under optical microscope showed that the inhibition rate of cell proliferation in low, medium and high dose ODA groups and 5-FU group was significantly higher than that in solvent control group ( P <0.01), but there was no significant difference compared with 5-FU group ( P >0.05). The results of MTT showed that compared with the solvent control group, the inhibition rate of cell proliferation in low, medium and high dose ODA groups and 5-FU group significantly increased ( P <0.01);compared with 5-FU group, the inhibition rate of cell proliferation in high dose ODA group significantly increased ( P <0.01). The results of flow cytometry showed that compared with the solvent control group, the number of cells in G_(0)/G_(1) phase increased significantly ( P <0.05, P <0.01), the number of cells in G_(2)/M phase decreased significantly ( P <0.01) and the apoptosis rate increased significantly ( P <0.01) in the low, medium and high dose ODA groups and 5-FU group;compared with 5-FU group, the number of cells in G_(2)/M phase decreased significantly ( P <0.01) and the apoptosis rate increased significantly ( P <0.01) in ODA group. ELISA testing results showed that the expression levels of P53, P13K and PKB/Akt in low, medium and high dose ODA groups and 5-FU group were significantly lower than those in solvent control group ( P <0.01), and only the expression level of protein in high dose ODA group was significantly lower than that in 5-FU group ( P <0.01);the expression levels of P21 and caspase-9 in low, medium and high dose ODA groups and 5-FU group were significantly higher than those in solvent control group ( P <0.05, P <0.01), but the expression level of protein in high dose ODA group was significantly higher than that in 5-FU group ( P <0.01). [Conclusions] ODA can obviously inhibit the proliferation of glioma cells and induce apoptosis. The mechanism is related to up-regulation of P21, caspase-9, down-regulation of P53, PI3K, PKB/Akt, inhibition of cell division cycle and decrease of PI3K-Akt signal transduction pathway.

Lipopeptide Antibiotics Produced by the Engineered Strain Bacillus subtilis GEB3 and Detection of Its Bioactivity

MALDI-TOF-MS technology was used for identification of lipopeptide antibiotics producedby GEB3 strain, a derivative of Bacillus subtilis 168 which was transformed by lpaB3gene. The result showed GEB3 only produced lipopeptide antibiotic surfactin. The analysisby LC-MS demonstrated that GEB3 produced standard surfactin isoforms with side chainlengths of 13,14 and 15 carbon atoms. The bioactivity detection of surfactin indicatedthat the surfactin produced by GEB3 had inhibition effect on plant pathogens Rhizoctoniasolani and Pyricularia oryzae.

Self-adaptive hydrogel for breast cancer therapy via accurate tumor elimination and on-demand adipose tissue regeneration

The irregular defects and residual tumor tissue after surgery are challenges for effective breast cancer treatment.Herein,a smart hydrogel with self-adaptable size and dual responsive cargos release was fabricated to treat breast cancer via accurate tumor elimination,on-demand adipose tissue regeneration and effective infection inhibition.The hydrogel consisted of thiol groups ended polyethylene glycol(SH-PEG-SH)and doxorubicin encapsulated mesoporous silica nanocarriers(DOX@MSNs)double crosslinked hyaluronic acid(HA)after loading of antibacterial peptides(AP)and adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs).A pH-cleavable unsaturated amide bond was pre-introduced between MSNs and HA frame to perform the tumor-specific acidic environment dependent DOX@MSNs release,meanwhile an esterase degradable glyceryl dimethacrylate cap was grafted on MSNs,which contributed to the selective chemotherapy in tumor cells with over-expressed esterase.The bond cleavage between MSNs and HA would also cause the swelling of the hydrogel,which not only provide sufficient space for the growth of ADSCs,but allows the hydrogel to fully fill the irregular defects generated by surgery and residual tumor atrophy,resulting in the on-demand regeneration of adipose tissue.Moreover,the sustained release of AP could be simultaneously triggered along with the size change of hydrogel,which further avoided bacterial infection to promote tissue regeneration.

Inhibitory effect of H_(3+x)PMo_(12-x)V_xO_(40)-Ton the self-polymerization of methyl methacrylate

In this work,a series of molybdovanadophosphoric heteropoly acid quaternary ammonium salts H_（3＋x）PMo_（12 -x）V_xO40-T were synthesized and employed as a reaction inhibitor in the selfpolymerization of methyl methacrylate（MMA）.The polymerization inhibition effect of H_（3＋x）PMoPMo_（12 -x）V_xO40-T）with different number of vanadium atoms and reaction dosages was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry（DSC）.It shows that the inhibitory effect was improved with the increasing dosages of H_（3＋x）PMoPMo_（12 -x）V_xO40-T）,and the polymerization inhibition was also affected by the number of vanadium atoms in the H_（3＋x）PMo_（12 -x）V_xO40-T .Furthermore,cyclic voltammograms（CV）was used to probe the mechanism of the inhibition reaction with H3＋xPMo12xVxO40-T.The result of CV indicates that the inhibition reaction is an oxidation–reduction reaction.H_（3＋x）PMo_（12 -x）V_xO40-T can react directly with the MMA monomer radicals,which eliminated the MMA monomers,and therefore the self-polymerization of the MMA can be effectively inhibited by H_（3＋x）PMo_（12 -x）V_xO40-T.

Synergistic Inhibition Effect of Sodium Silicate and Acrylamide on the Corrosion of Carbon Steel in a High-concentration KCI Solution

The corrosion inhibition performances of sodium silicate（Na2SiO3） and acrylamide（AM） for Q235 carbon steel in a high-concentration KCl solution（25%, mass fraction） were investigated via static mass loss method, elec- trochemical measurements, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS） and Auger electron spectroscopy（AES）. AM shows poor inhibition performance, while Na2SiO3 exhibits a better inhibition per- formance. Moreover, the steel gains mass instead of losing mass in the presence of 0.5% Na2SiO3 and 0.5% AM, in- dicating that the corrosion is completely inhibited~ SEM analysis indicates that a compact protective film is formed on the steel surface by the combined use of inhibitors. Our results demonstrate that Na2SiO3 and AM could have a synergistic effect on steel corrosion in high concentrations of KCl. The synergistic inhibition mechanism is further conjectured by the XPS and AES analysis.

Nb_(2)CT_(x)MXene boosting PEO polymer electrolyte for all-solid-state Li-S batteries:two birds with one stone strategy to enhance Li+conductivity and polysulfide adsorptivity

All-solid-state lithium-sulfur(Li-S)battery is regarded as next-generation high energy density and safety battery system.The key challenge is to develop a compatible high-performance solid-state electrolyte.Herein,a two birds with one stone strategy is proposed to simultaneously enhance Li+conductivity and polysulfide adsorptivity of poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)-based polymer electrolyte via the integration of Nb_(2)CT_(x)MXene.Moreover,the sheet size of Nb_(2)CT_(x)MXene is crucial for the enhancement of Li^(+)conductivity and polysulfide adsorptivity,attributing to the difference in a specific surface area related to the percolation effect.By tuning the sheet size of Nb_(2)CT_(x)MXene from 500-300 nm to below 100 nm,the ionic conductivity of the PEO electrolyte is increased to2.62×10^(-4)S·cm^(-1)with improved Li+transference number of 0.37 at 600C.Furthermore,theoretical calculation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)conjointly prove that poly sulfides could be effectively adsorbed by Nb2CTxnanosheets via forming Nb-S bonding to inhibit their shuttle in the PEO framework.As a result,the all-solid-state Li-S cell exhibits an initial capacity of 1149 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.5C and good cycling stability with 491 mAh·g^(-1)after 200 cycles.The results demonstrate the necessity of polysulfide inhibition and the application of Nb_(2)CT_(x)MXene in PEO-based electrolytes for all-solid-state Li-S batteries.

Corrosion resistance of tannic acid,d-limonene and nano-ZrO_(2)modified epoxy coatings in acid corrosion environments

The protection of rusted carbon steel in acid corrosion environments is of great significance for equipment to keep safe operation.In this work,we presented a method to protect the rusted steel by ru st conversion treatment and epoxy coating.Tannic acid was selected as rust conversion agent.Tannic acid,D-limonene and nano-ZrO_(2)were used to improve the corrosion resistance of epoxy coatings.The Raman spectra,Xray diffraction and 3 D confocal images were used to characterize the rust conversion reaction.Ad hesion test showed that the loss of wet adhesion of the optimal coating was relatively low due to the addition of tannic acid,limonene and nano-ZrO(2).The corrosion resistance of five different coatings was investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and electrochemical analysis.Results show that after 264 h acid immersion,the low frequency resistance of the optimal coating consisting of rust conversion treatment and additives is 10^(7)Ωcm^(2),three orders magnitude higher than that of the pristine coating.Moreover,SEM indicates that the optimal coating possesses a smooth surface and an unbroken interface between substrate and coating.Accordingly,the corrosion-resistant mechanism of the hybrid coating is proposed.

Berberine as an Environmental-Friendly Inhibitor for Hot-Dip Coated Steels in Diluted Hydrochloric Acid

The inhibition effect of an excellent environmental-friendly corrosion inhibitor--berberine on hot-dip coated steels in the diluted HCI has been investigated by using quantum chemistry analysis, mass-loss tests, elec- trochemical measurements and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） observation. Calculation results show that berberine has a nearly planar structure with a number of active centers. The value of Mulliken charge, and the distribution of the highest occupied molecular orbital （HOMO） and the lower unoccupied molecular orbital （LUMO） imply that berberine has a good ability of electron exchange with metal surface. The test results indicate that inhibition efficiency （IE%） increases with the inhibitor concentration and the highest IE can reach 99%. Adsorption of berberine on the coating surface follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm with a single molecular layer by chemisorption.

Fe_(0.8)CoSe_(2) nanosphere coated by N-doped carbon for ultra- high rate potassium selenium battery

Potassium-selenium(K-Se) batteries are a promising electrical energy storage candidate because of the cost-effectiveness and material sustainability, yet they suffer from shuttle effect, volume expansion and low powder density. The development of Se-based cathode is an effective way to overcome the above issues. Here we designed a hollow nano-spherical Co-Fe bi-metallic selenide coated with N-doped carbon(denoted as CFS@N-C)as cathode for K-Se batteries. Bimetallic selenide is benefit to improve the conductivity of composite materials;N-doped carbon layer encapsulation effectively inhibits the dissolution of poly-selenides and relieves the volume expansion. The as-prepared K-Se battery exhibits excellent rate performance(300 mAh·g^(-1) at 1000 mA·g^(-1)) and slowcharge/ultrafast-dischargecapability(dischargeat5000 mA·g^(-1) and charge at 100 mA·g^(-1) with ultrahigh capacity of 227 mAh·g^(-1)) with Coulombic efficiency nearly 100%. In addition, the ex-situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) images reveal that the charge–discharge mechanism of CFS@N-C is K^(+) replaces the bimetal and forms K_(2)Se. The unique design in this work may provide certain directions on researching for high power density K-storage materials.
