Polydopamine-Based Tumor-Targeted Multifunctional Reagents for Computer Tomography/Fluorescence Dual-Mode Bioimaging-Guided Photothermal Therapy
摘要： Development of multifunctional diagnosis and treatment reagents is very meaningful in clinical application. Herein, we developed a polydopamine-based (PDA-based) tumor targeted multifunctional reagent by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) strategy. First, the targeted PDA nanoparticles were prepared via combining with folic acid (FA) and dopamine. Then ATRP technology was used to graft the europium(III) complexes onto PDA surface (defined as FEDA). A series of detections revealed that the FEDA nanoparticles had been successfully prepared and exhibited a bright X-ray computer tomography (CT) and photoluminescence (PL) dual-mode imaging efficiency and an excellent photothermal therapy (PTT) effect in vivo/in vitro.

Synergistic effect of carboxylated-MWCNTs on the performance of acrylic acid UV-grafted polyamide nanofiltration membranes
摘要： Surface modification of a commercial polyamide nanofiltration membrane was achieved by UV induced graft polymerization of acrylic acid and incorporation of carboxylated-MWCNTs (COOH-MWCNTs). The grafting process was done under different monomer concentrations and UV exposure times. The modified membranes were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle and zeta-potential analysis, and cross-flow filtration experiments. Changes in the surface hydrophilicity, negative charge and roughness of the modified membranes improved their permeability and fouling resistance significantly. The membrane grafted with 50 g/L acrylic acid under 5 min UV exposure showed the best filtration performance including pure water flux of 38.8 L/m2 h, salt rejections of 97.43% (Na2SO4) and 93.4% (NaCl), and flux recovery ratio (FRR) of 80.2% during bovine serum albumin (BSA) filtration. After optimizing grafting condition, different amounts of COOH-MWCNTs were dispersed in the monomer solution for embedding in the grafting layer. By adding 0.2 wt% COOH-MWCNTs to the grafting layer, a water flux improvement of around 30% was observed. But, excess loading of the COOH-MWCNTs led to compaction of the grafting layer and made it inflexible and subsequently, reduced the hydrophilicity and permeability of the membrane. Fouling tests with BSA aqueous solution showed that antifouling ability of the modified membranes was remarkably improved at all concentrations of the COOH-MWCNTs. Furthermore, salt rejection results displayed that simultaneous surface modification through grafting and COOH-MWCNTs embedding could effectively improve the nanofiltration performance of the membranes in the term of permeability, desalination and fouling resistance.

One pot green synthesis of C-dots from groundnuts and its application as Cr(VI) sensor and in vitro bioimaging agent
摘要： The emergence of ?uorescent carbon dots (C-dots) has received special attention due to their distinct characteristics which are advantageous for optical sensing and bioimaging applications. Cr(VI) is considered a hazardous environmental pollutant hence requires a simple and e?ective method for its detection and recovery. Herein, we have synthesized both C-dots and N-doped C-dots from ground nuts employing a cost-e?ective and green hydrothermal method. N-C-dots exhibits a remarkably enhanced quantum yield (17.6%) as compared to undoped C-dots (7.8%). In addition,the N-C-dots showed amazing selectivity towards Cr(VI) in the metal sensing application. Cr (VI) induced quenching of ?uorescence was recovered using Humic acid as well as Glutathione thus exhibiting an o?-on type sensing mechanism. The limit of detection (LOD) for Cr(VI) using N-C-dots was found to be 0.1 mg/L. C-dots possess comparatively low cytotoxicity than N-C-dots at higher concentration thereby making them an e?cient candidate for bioimaging of MCF-7 cells.

Increased resistance of <i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium and <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7 to 222-nm krypton-chlorine excilamp treatment by acid adaptation
摘要： In this study, we examined the change in resistance of Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7 to 222-nm krypton-chlorine (KrCl) excilamp treatment as influenced by acid adaptation, and identified a mechanism of resistance change. In addition, changes in apple juice quality indicators such as color, total phenols and DPPH free radical scavenging activity during treatment were measured. Acid adapted- and non-acid adapted pathogens were induced by growing the cells in TSB without dextrose (TSB w/o D) at pH 7.3 and TSB w/o D at pH 5.0 adjusted with HCl, respectively. For the KrCl excilamp treatment, acid-adapted pathogens exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) higher D5d values, which indicate dosages required for achieving 5-log reduction, than non-acid adapted pathogens in both commercially clarified apple juice and PBS, and the pathogens in the juice showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher D5d values than those in PBS because of the UV-absorbing characteristics of apple juice. Through mechanism identification, it was found that the generation of lipid peroxidation in cell membrane, inducing cell membrane destruction, of acid adapted cells was significantly (P < 0.05) less than that of non-acid adapted cells for the same amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated at the same dose because the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids (USFA/SFA) in the cell membrane was significantly (P < 0.05) decreased as a result of acid adaptation. Treated apple juice showed no significant (P > 0.05) differences in quality indicators compared to untreated controls during the treatment of 1773 mJ/cm2.

Cancer Selective Turn-on Fluorescence Imaging Using a Biopolymeric Nanocarrier
摘要： Most nanoparticle-based bioresearch for clinical applications is unable to overcome the clinical barriers of efficacy (e.g., sensitivity and selectivity), safety for human use, and mass-production processes. Here, we proposed a promising concept of using a biocompatible nanocarrier that delivers natural fluorescent precursors into cancerous cells. The nanocarrier is a biopolymeric nanoparticle that can be easily loaded with fluorescent precursors to form a fluorescent moiety via a biosynthesis pathway. Once delivered into cancerous cells, the nanocarriers are selectively turned on and distinctively fluoresce upon excitation. We, therefore, demonstrated the efficacy of the selective turn-on fluorescence of the nanocarriers in in vitro co-culture models and in vivo tumor-bearing models.

Oxime Type Photoacid Generators Having Adamantyl and Superstrong Acid Precursor Group
摘要： Oxime derivatives, having a N-O bond in the molecule structure, are excellent photo-reactive compounds. Oxime type photoacid generators (PAGs) with adamantyl and perfluoroalkylsulfonyloxy groups and without aromatic groups were prepared, and their absorption spectra and thermal properties were measured. The compounds designed with photoacid generator in deep ultraviolet (DUV) region have good transparency in the region. The thermal stability of these PAGs depended on the chain length of acid precursor groups. The quantum yields of acid generation were substantially high. These aliphatic oxime sulfonates can be expected to be PAGs in DUV.

The Comparison of the Photocatalytic Performance Shown by TiO <sub/>2</sub> and TiO <sub/>2</sub> /WO <sub/>3</sub> Composites— A Parametric and Kinetic Study
摘要： Kinetic and mechanistic related approaches for mostly titania were intensively studied in the literature. However, combined modelling and kinetic studies are few. Therefore, the present work focuses on modelling the dependence of the degradation kinetics of two model compounds (salicylic acid—SA and methyl orange—MO) on Evonik Aeroxide P25, hydrothermally prepared hierarchical TiO2 and P25/WO3 nanostars, obtained also by hydrothermal crystallization. The obtained individual semiconductors and the composites were characterized using XRD, DRS, SEM, while the photocatalytic degradation of the model pollutants were carried out varying the catalyst load, the initial pollutant concentration and incident light intensity. It was found that the degradation kinetics were independent from the hierarchical nature of the material, while significant dependencies of the degradation efficiency was found from the previously mentioned investigation parameters. All these parametric interdependences were successfully studied and a kinetic model was proposed for both bare TiO2 and TiO2/WO3 composite systems.

Preparation and Characterization of Polymer Composite Materials Based on PLA/TiO2 for Antibacterial Packaging
摘要： Polymer composite materials based on polylactic acid (PLA) filled with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared. The aim of this work was to investigate the antibacterial action of TiO2 against a strain of E. coli (DH5α) to obtain information on their potential uses in food and agro-alimentary industry. PLA/TiO2 systems were prepared by a two-step process: Solvent casting followed by a hot-pressing step. Characterization was done as a function of particle size (21 nm and <100 nm) and particle content (0%, 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20%, wt %). Structural characterization carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) did not reveal significant changes in polymer structure due to the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles. Thermal characterization indicated that thermal transitions, measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), did not vary, irrespective of size or content, whereas thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed a slight increase in the temperature of degradation with particle content. Bacterial growth and biofilm formation on the surface of the composites against DH5α Escherichia coli was studied. Results suggested that the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles decreases the amount of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) and limits bacterial growth. The inhibition distances estimated with the Kirby-Bauer were doubled when 1% TiO2 nanoparticles were introduced in PLA, though no significant differences were obtained for higher contents in TiO2 NPs.

Light-responsive nanoparticles based on new polycarbonate polymers as innovative drug delivery systems for photosensitizers in PDT
摘要： Nanoparticles based on biodegradable polymers are well-known as approved carrier systems for a diversity of drugs. Despite their advantages, such as the option of an active drug targeting or the physicochemical protection of instable payloads, the controlled drug release often underlies intra- and interindividual influences and is therefore difficult to predict. To circumvent this limitation, the release behavior can be optimized using light-responsive materials for the nanoparticle preparation. The resulting light-responsive nanoparticles are able to release the embedded drug after an external light-stimulus, thereby increasing efficacy and safety of the therapy. In the present study light-responsive self-immolative polymers were used for the nanoparticle manufacturing. Light-responsive polycarbonates (LrPC) as well as PEGylated LrPC (LrPC-PEG) were synthesized via ring-opening polymerization of trimethylene carbonate-based monomers and fully physico-chemically characterized. Light-responsive nano formulations were obtained by blending LrPC or (LrPC-PEG) with the FDA-approved polymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic-acid) (PLGA). The nanoparticles were loaded with the photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC). The light-induced nanoparticle degradation was analyzed as well as the drug release behavior with and without illumination. Furthermore, biological safety of the degradation products was investigated in an in vitro cell culture study.

Thermal decomposition of bimetallic titanium complexes: A new method for synthesizing doped titanium nano-sized catalysts and photocatalytic application
摘要： In this study, synthesis of bimetallic (Co, Mn, and Ni) complexes of salicylic acid (L1) and 1,2 dihydroxybenzene (L2) based on titanium(IV) were investigated, then the samples were decomposed by thermal method to obtain MxTiyOz nanoparticles (M = Ni, Co, and Mn). The samples in complexes mode were analyzed by UV–Vis (200–800 nm), FT-IR (4000–400 Cm?1), CHN analysis and the structure of the bimetallic compounds also were investigated by the Quantum-chemical modelling. In addition, the samples in nanoparticles mode were studied by thermal analysis (to obtain DTA curves), XRD, FESEM image and EDX analyzing. BET surface analysis was carried out to analyze active surface, pore diameter and porosity of the MxTiyOz nanoparticles. Based on the results, obtained samples as catalysts were able to absorb not just UV but also visible light. Catalysts were able to degrade bromophenol blue as a harmful organic substance under UV and visible lights, although, this ability was more significant when the samples were used under visible light.
