大豆蛋白纳米纤维对铁纳米颗粒的稳态化作用

为明确大豆蛋白纳米纤维的结构形成和扩宽铁强化剂的食品工业应用，以大豆分离蛋白（soy protein isolate，SPI）为原料，通过5 h的酸热处理制备纳米纤维（soy protein isolate fibrils，Fib SPI），系统研究纤维形成前后蛋白结构的变化，并进一步制备铁纳米颗粒（iron nanoparticles，Fe NPs），探究Fib SPI对铁的稳态化作用。研究结果表明：在酸热处理过程中，SPI产生大量的β-折叠结构，其与硫磺素T结合，显示出增强的荧光强度；此外，7S组分先发生降解，利于纤维成核形成，随后11S逐渐被水解，促进纤维生长；同时水解产生大量的小肽组分，提高了产物的还原力。研究进一步利用Fib SPI递送铁纳米颗粒（Fe NPs），发现与原始SPI相比，铁纳米颗粒可在Fib SPI原位形成胶体稳定的铁-大豆蛋白纳米纤维复合物（Fe FibSPI），并以Fe（II）形式存在，其对乳液体系色泽及稳定性的影响较硫酸亚铁或氯化铁小。该研究可为构建新型植物基铁强化剂递送体系提供理论和方法指导。     

Co2FeO4@rGO composite: Towards trifunctional water splitting in alkaline media

Development of efficient, low cost and multifunctional electrocatalysts for water splitting to harvest hydrogen fuels is a challenging task, but the combination of carbon materials with transition metal-based compounds is providing a unique and attractive strategy. Herein, composite systems based on cobalt ferrite oxide-reduced graphene oxide (Co₂FeO₄) @(rGO) using simultaneous hydrothermal and chemical reduction methods have been prepared. The proposed study eliminates one step associated with the conversion of GO into rGO as it uses direct GO during the synthesis of cobalt ferrite oxide, consequently rGO based hybrid system is achieved in-situ significantly, the optimized Co₂FeO₄@rGO composite has revealed an outstanding multifunctional applications related to both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen counterpart (HER). Various metal oxidation states and oxygen vacancies at the surface of Co₂FeO₄@rGO composites guided the multifunctional surface properties. The optimized Co₂FeO₄@rGO composite presents excellent multifunctional properties with onset potential of 0.60 V for ORR, an overpotential of 240 mV at a 20 mAcm^?2 for OER and 320 mV at a 10 mAcm^?2 for HER respectively. Results revealed that these multifunctional properties of the optimized Co₂FeO₄@ rGO composite are associated with high electrical conductivity, high density of active sites, crystal defects, oxygen vacancies, and favorable electronic structure arisinng from the substitution of Fe for Co atoms in binary spinel oxide phase. These surface features synergistically uplifted the electrocatalytic properties of Co₂FeO₄@rGO composites. The multifunctional properties of the Co₂FeO₄@ rGO composite could be of high interest for its use in a wide range of applications in sustainable and renewable energy fields.     

Essential (Mg,Fe, Zn and Cu) and Non-Essential (Cd and Pb) Elements in Predatory Insects (Vespa crabro and Vespa velutina): A Molecular Perspective

The recent introduction of the Asian yellow-legged hornet, Vespa velutina, into Europe has raised concern regarding the threat to honeybees and the competition with the European hornet, Vespa crabro. The aim of this study was to investigated essential (Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu) and non-essential (Cd and Pb) elements in these two species. Element concentrations were determined in the whole body and separately in the head, thorax and abdomen using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The changes in essential element concentration and speciation during metamorphosis were also studied using size exclusion chromatography followed by AAS and proteomic analysis. In both species, the essential elements were more concentrated in the abdomen due to the presence of fat bodies. Magnesium, Fe and Zn concentrations were significantly higher in V. crabro than in V. velutina and could have been related to the higher aerobic energy demand of the former species required to sustain foraging flight. Low concentrations of Cd and Pb were indicative of low environmental exposure. The concentration and speciation of essential elements, particularly Fe, varied among the developmental stages, indicating a modification of ligand preferences during metamorphosis. Overall, the results in the present study provide a better understanding of the hornet metal metabolism and a foundation for additional studies.     

Tailored-Made Polydopamine Nanoparticles to Induce Ferroptosis in Breast Cancer Cells in Combination with Chemotherapy

Ferroptosis is gaining followers as mechanism of selective killing cancer cells in a non-apoptotic manner, and novel nanosystems capable of inducing this iron-dependent death are being increasingly developed. Among them, polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) are arousing interest, since they have great capability of chelating iron. In this work, PDA NPs were loaded with Fe³⁺ at different pH values to assess the importance that the pH may have in determining their therapeutic activity and selectivity. In addition, doxorubicin was also loaded to the nanoparticles to achieve a synergist effect. The in vitro assays that were performed with the BT474 and HS5 cell lines showed that, when Fe³⁺ was adsorbed in PDA NPs at pH values close to which Fe(OH)₃ begins to be formed, these nanoparticles had greater antitumor activity and selectivity despite having chelated a smaller amount of Fe³⁺. Otherwise, it was demonstrated that Fe³⁺ could be released in the late endo/lysosomes thanks to their acidic pH and their Ca²⁺ content, and that when Fe³⁺ was co-transported with doxorubicin, the therapeutic activity of PDA NPs was enhanced. Thus, reported PDA NPs loaded with both Fe³⁺ and doxorubicin may constitute a good approach to target breast tumors.

Enhancement effect of zero-valent iron nanoparticle and iron oxide nanoparticles on dark fermentative hydrogen production from molasses-based distillery wastewater

This study investigates the effect of two different iron compounds (zero-valent iron nanoparticle: nZVI and iron oxide nanoparticles: nIO) and pH on fermentative biohydrogen production from molasses-based distillery wastewater. The nZVI and nIO of optimum particle sizes of 50 nm and 55 nm respectively were synthesized and applied for fermentative hydrogen (H₂) production. The addition of nIO & nZVI at (0.7 g/L, pH: 6) resulted in the highest H₂ yield, H₂ production rate, H₂ content and COD reduction. Moreover, the kinetic parameters of H₂ production potential (P) and H₂ production rate (R_m) increased to 387 mL, and 22.2 mL/h, respectively for nZVI, these values were 363 mL and 21.8 mL/h for nIO. The results obtained indicated the positive effect of nZVI and nIO addition on enhanced fermentative H₂ production. The addition of nZVI & nIO resulted in 71% and 69.4% enhancement in biohydrogen production respectively.

Photo-fenton and UV photo degradation of naphthalene with zero- and two-valent iron in the presence of persulfate

An initial set of 12 kinetic experiments was carried out to remove naphthalene from an aqueous effluent by photo-Fenton involving Fe⁰ and Fe²⁺ at two different concentrations of H₂O₂ (150 and 300?mg?L^?1) and three different pHs (3, 5, and 7) (2²×3¹ experiments). The rate constants (k) for the reaction of naphthalene degradation by involving Fe²⁺ as reactant were in general higher than those with Fe⁰, but the use of Fe²⁺ increased the concentration of naphthalene at equilibrium (C_e) when compared with the same response obtained with Fe⁰ at analogous conditions. A second set of twelve kinetic experiments of photo-Fenton degradation was also performed with persulfate as additive at the conditions already reported, but at a constant concentration of H₂O₂ of 150?mg?L^?1 (2¹×3¹ experiments with NaCl +2¹×3¹ experiments without NaCl). In almost all the runs in which only the source of iron was varied, k from the kinetic data involving Fe²⁺ was higher than that involving Fe⁰, but no difference was observed in terms of C_e that was always zero. The addition of persulfate to treat the effluent either containing or not containing salt enhanced the chemical kinetics, and shifted the equilibrium toward the full removal of naphthalene. A final set of nine experiments of UV photo degradation of naphthalene by involving persulfate without iron, with Fe⁰ and Fe²⁺ in the pH range from 3 to 7 (3² experiments) mainly showed that the use of H₂O₂ may be avoided to remove rapidly and completely naphthalene from wastewater.
