[PMID: 39116974 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Jelly candies could be considered promising food matrices for the delivery of bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins (ACNs). In this study, gelatin-based jelly candies were fortified with free ACNs-rich purple basil leaf extract (PBLE) and PBLE-loaded emulgel beads. The interaction between free ACNs and gelatin in the jelly matrix resulted in a lower release of ACNs in the mouth (8.27 %) and gastric stage (74.44 %) compared to those of free extract (24.92 and 86.13 %), as well as some protection in the intestinal stage. The release of ACNs from the jellies enriched with PBLE-loaded emulgel beads only began in the intestinal stage and reached 66.34-70.75 % of the initial load. Compared to those of PBLE-loaded emulgel beads, the introduction of beads within the jelly matrix increased the in vitro release of ACNs. The jelly samples enriched with PBLE-loaded emulgel beads yielded higher hardness, adhesiveness, flexibility, and chewiness compared to samples with free PBLE. While the color and appearance of jellies fortified with encapsulated PBLE were impaired, they got the highest sensory acceptance scores due to the masking of the bitter taste of the free extract. ACNs-loaded emulgel beads could be a viable method for fortifying jelly candies.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:14228. [PMID: 38902392 PMCID: PMC11189936 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-64797-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024] Open
Abstract
This work reports the synthesis of nickel ferrite decorated nitrogen and sulfur co-doped graphene quantum dot (NF@N, S:GQD) and its use as an electrode modifier. The developed NF@N, S:GQD modified glassy carbon electrode (NF@N, S:GQD/GCE) was applied to assess isoniazid (INZ) concentration based on its oxidation at the surface of the proposed electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used as appropriate electrochemical techniques to study the electrochemical behavior of INZ and determine it. Based on combined evidence from surveys, research, and personal results, it is thought that the combination of nickel ferrite and doped graphene quantum dots can synergistically affect results, leading to increased sensitivity and reduced detection limits. This is probably mainly due to the high electrical conductivity of N, S-GQD structure, the electrocatalytic effect of nickel ferrite, and increased surface area resulting from the nano size of the modifier. The optimum conditions for preparing of the modified electrode and determination of INZ are selected by performing electrochemical experiments. The voltammetric response of the sensor is linear from 0.3 to 40 nM INZ under optimal conditions and the detection limit of the sensor is 0.1 nM. The validity and performance of the prepared sensor were confirmed by determining the amount of INZ in the drug and urine as real samples. The composite of doped nanoparticles and nickel ferrite is an innovative modification material to create electrochemical sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity that can be used in pharmaceutical applications.

Li Y, Yuan M, Zhang C, Zhang X, Hao J, Tao F, Wang G, Su P. Bisphenol AF exposure synergistically increases the risk for suicidality among early adolescents with child maltreatment: A prospective cohort study. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 279:116511. [PMID: 38810289 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Child maltreatment (CM) is correlated with suicidality risk among adolescents. Additionally, exposure to bisphenol AF (BPAF) may increase this risk. However, the combined effect of CM and BPAF exposure remains unknown and should be further investigated. METHODS In this study, 1,475 early adolescents (mean age = 12.48 years) from the Chinese Early Adolescents Cohort were enrolled. Data were collected at three time points with an interval of 12 months between 2019 and 2021. Participants' history of CM and suicidality (including suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts) were evaluated using a self-report questionnaire. Blood samples were obtained from participants to measure serum BPAF concentrations at baseline. Group-based trajectory modeling was employed to identify different developmental trajectories of suicidality across the three waves. After adjusting for potential confounders, the association between CM and BPAF exposure on suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts was assessed using logistic regression and Poisson regression analyses. RESULTS Participants with CM were associated with a risk of one- and two-year incident suicidality (all ps < 0.05), and BPAF levels were positively associated with two-year incident suicidal ideation (adjusted OR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.13-2.50). Additionally, middle and high levels of BPAF exposure synergistically increase the risk for one- and two-year incident suicidal ideation among participants with CM (adjusted ORs = 2.00-3.83). Similarly, participants exposed to high-level BPAF as well as CM were at a greater risk of one- and two-year incident suicidal attempts than those with low-level BPAF exposure and no CM (adjusted incidence rate ratio [IRRs] = 2.82-4.34). Moreover, compared with participants with a low developmental trajectory of suicidality across the three waves, high BPAF exposure exhibited a significant synergistic effect on participants with CM in the persistently high suicidal ideation trajectory and the increasing suicidal attempts trajectory (all ps < 0.05). Sex subgroup analysis revealed that females were more susceptible to the synergistic effect of BPAF and CM exposure on suicidality than males. CONCLUSIONS Environmental factors and the psychological status of individuals may synergistically increase their susceptibility to suicidality. These results offer novel insights into enhancing our understanding of suicidality among adolescents.

Marine-Derived Cytosine Arabinoside (Ara-C) Inhibits Biofilm Formation by Inhibiting PEL Operon Proteins (Pel A and Pel B) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: An In Silico Approach. Mol Biotechnol 2024:10.1007/s12033-024-01169-8. [PMID: 38739212 DOI: 10.1007/s12033-024-01169-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a gram-negative biofilm-forming opportunistic human pathogen whose vital mechanism is biofilm formation for better survival. PelA and PelB proteins of the PEL operon are essential for bacterial-synthesized pellicle polysaccharide (PEL), which is a vital structural component of the biofilm. It helps in adherence of biofilm on the surface and maintenance of cell-to-cell interactions and with other matrix components. Here, in-silico molecular docking and simulation studies were performed against PelA and PelB using ten natural bioactive compounds, individually [podocarpic acids, ferruginol, scopadulcic acid B, pisiferic acid, metachromin A, Cytarabine (cytosine arabinoside; Ara-C), ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, maslinic acid, and betulinic acid], those have already been established as anti-infectious compounds. The results obtained from AutoDock and Glide-Schordinger stated that a marine-derived cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) among the ten compounds binds active sites of PelA and PelB, exhibiting strong binding affinity [Trp224 (hydrogen), Ser219 (polar), Val234 (hydrophobic) for PelA; Leu365 and Glu389 (hydrogen), Gln366 (polar) for PelB] with high negative binding energy - 5.518 kcal/mol and - 6.056 kcal/mol, respectively. The molecular dynamic and simulation studies for 100 ns showed the MMGBSA binding energy scores are - 16.4 kcal/mol (Ara-C with PelA), and - 22.25 kcal/mol (Ara-C with PelB). Further, ADME/T studies indicate the IC50 values of AraC are 6.10 mM for PelA and 18.78 mM for PelB, which is a comparatively very low dose. The zero violation of Lipinski's Rule of Five further established that Ara-C is a good candidate for drug development. Thus, Ara-C could be considered a potent anti-biofilm compound against PEL operon-dependent biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa.

Efficient and eco-friendly cadmium ion recycling: Ultrasonic enhancement of aluminum powder replacement for low-temperature industrial applications. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 102:106764.

Abstract
Replacing cadmium ions in cadmium-containing solutions with aluminum powder is beneficial for cadmium resource recycling and environmental protection. However, the conventional aluminum powder replacement method requires harsh temperatures and prolonged conditions. In this study, the effect and mechanism of ultrasound on the replacement of cadmium with aluminum powder were investigated at low temperatures. Ultrasound has been proven to promote the etching of alumina films through the use of TEM and XPS, providing mechanistic support for the superiority of the new process. A degree of Cd replacement as high as 95.08 % is achieved at a low temperature (60 ℃) and in a short time (20 min) when using ultrasonicated aluminum powder replacement, which is 42.17 % higher than that of conventional aluminum powder. Compared with conventional aluminum powder replacement conditions with the same effect, the introduction of ultrasound can reduce the temperature by 30℃ and shorten the replacement time by 2/3, which has significant advantages in reaction efficiency and safety. The strengthening mechanism of ultrasound on the replacement effect of aluminum powder at low temperatures is revealed through detailed discussions on the corrosion of alumina films, agglomeration of aluminum powder, and adhesion of replacement products to the surface of aluminum powder, dissolved oxygen in the solution, and redissolution of cadmium. Therefore, a new approach for replacing aluminum powder in solutions with high Cd2+ concentrations at low temperatures is proposed in this work, which is expected to solve the existing harsh and dangerous problems of industrial aluminum powder replacement.

Abstract
Nanobiotechnology is a unique class of multiphase and recently become a branch of contemporary science and a paradigm shift in material research. One of the two main problems facing the field of nanomaterial synthesis is the discovery of new natural resources for the biological production of metal nanoparticles and the absence of knowledge about the chemical composition of bio-source required for synthesis and the chemical process or mechanism behind the production of metal nanoparticles presents the second difficulty. We reported template-free green synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles using Tribulus terrestris seed natural extract without any isolation process. XRD, TEM, SEM, UV-Vis, DLS, zeta potential, and BET evaluated the synthesized metal nanoparticle. The TEM analysis confirmed that the CuO NPs are well dispersed and almost round in shape with an average size of 58 nm. EDAX confirms that copper is the prominent metal present in the nanomaterial. The greener fabricated copper oxide nanoparticle was employed to degrade methyl orange dye, almost 84% of methyl orange was degraded within 120 min. The outcomes demonstrated the nanomaterial's effective breakdown of contaminants, highlighting their potential for environmental rehabilitation. The electrochemical investigation of the CuO NPs was utilized for supercapacitor application. An appreciable value of specific capacitance is 369 F/g specific capacitances with 96.4% capacitance retention after 6000 cycles. Overall, the results of the current study show that the biologically produced copper oxide nanoparticles have intriguing uses as photocatalysts for treating water contaminants and are suitable for energy storage devices.
