Endotoxin is a deadly pyrogen, rendering it crucial to monitor with high accuracy and efficiency. However, current endotoxin detection relies on multistep processes that are labor-intensive, time-consuming, unsustainable. Here, we report an aptamer-based biosensor for the real-time optical of endotoxin. The sensor exploits distance-dependent scattering gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coupled nanofilm. This enabled by conformational changes endotoxin-specific aptamer upon target binding. can be...
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are widely accepted as key players in various biological processes. However, the roles of lncRNA peripheral nerve regeneration remain completely unknown. Thus, this study, we performed microarray analysis to measure expression distal segment sciatic at 0, 3, 7 and 14 days following injury. We identified 5,354 lncRNAs that were differentially expressed: 3,788 expressed between 0 3; 3,314 7; 2,400 14. The results RT-qPCR two dysregulated consistent with those...
Introduction Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a global health problem for which there no current food and drug administration (FDA)-approved therapy. Oenothein B (OEB) macrocyclic dimer ellagic tannin that possesses abundant biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammation, antitumor, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial properties. Materials methods In this study, the hepatoprotective effect of OEB against ALD was investigated in vivo vitro . Results We found treatment dramatically...
Abstract As an environmental‐friendly coating material in industry, waterborne polyurethane–urea (WPU) is still not comparable with solvent‐based polyurethane (SPU) mechanical properties, due to the hydrophilic chain‐extender. Herein, a synthetic scheme increase abrasion resistance of WPU ether diol, and conventional chain‐extender (DMBA, 2,2‐bis[hydroxymethyl]butanoic acid) revealed. This study discuss degree micro‐phase separation (DPS) toughness, elongation, resistance, compared contain...
Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) has attracted significant interest as a promising alternative to solvent-based (SPU) due its positive impact on safety and sustainability. However, limitations of WPU, such weaker mechanical strength, limit ability replace SPU. Triblock amphiphilic diols are materials enhance the performance WPU their well-defined hydrophobic-hydrophilic structures. Yet, our understanding relationship between arrangements triblock physical properties remains limited. In this...
Treatment of carcinoma cell lines with 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), a natural ligand the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, has been reported to induce apoptosis and/or inhibit proliferation. In this study, we investigated cytotoxic effect and action mechanisms 15d-PGJ2 in thyroid papillary cancer line, CG3. The results indicate that caused cytotoxicity increased amount intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) these cells. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation...
ABSTRACT: The penetration of sunlight into the water column plays a critical role in aquatic ecosystem. This study investigates light attenuation through Danshuei River estuary and explores models for quantifying it. measurement photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) indicates that conventional exponential with depth is very good model. A coefficient may be derived from PAR measurements at each location. simpler Secchi (SD) provide an approximate estimate coefficients inverse linear...
ABSTRACT Due to increasing environmental concerns and depletion of petroleum resources, the use green materials has become popular with garment industry. In past, natural rubber, which is one most prevalent bio‐based elastomers, was used as waterproof coating for many applications due its inherent elasticity, high tear abrasion resistance, hydrophobicity. However, NR significant drawbacks when applying garments including poor adhesion polyester fabrics low breathability. Polyurethane, on...
To propose a green dyeing strategy permitting the incorporation of chromophores via promotion physical bonding and simple sewage processing procedure, for increasing reactivity conventional disperse dye, namely, 1-amino-4-hydroxy-2-phenoxyanthraquinone (Disperse Red 60, R60), to isocyanate groups miscibility with waterborne poly(urethane-urea) (WPU) was reported. The modified dye R60-OH prepared by alkylation 3-bromopropan-1-ol. Subsequently, reacted trifunctional (named R60-O-THDI), which...
Abstract A breathable waterborne poly-(urethane/urea) (WPU) coating for textiles was synthesized by a pre-polymer method with 4,4′-Diisocyanate dicyclohexylmethane (H 12 MDI), Poly(propylene oxide)- b -poly(ethylene -poly(propylene oxide) triblock diols (PO-EO-PO diols), and Polyteramethylene glycol (PTMG). The PO-EO-PO were incorporated into the WPU to improve swelling issue of frequently observed in polyethylene (PEO) segments. stability, mechanical property, thermal properties,...
Humic acid (HA), know to be ubiquitous in the natural environment, is present almost all soil, surface water, and plants. Earlier studies indicate that HA can affect thyroid economy via binding with iodide, inhibiting both peroxidase hepatic 5'-deiodinase rodents. However, effect of HA, a peroxisome proliferator rodents, on hormone receptor (TR) proliferator-activated (PPAR) human cells has not yet been examined. In this study, we demonstrate malic enzyme activity transcriptional activities...

O-GlcNAcylation is a highly dynamic post-translational modification that plays key role in regulating phosphorylation of protein and cell survival. The proteins level regulated dynamically by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (O-GlcNAcase, OGA). Although previous studies have suggested the neurodegenerative diseases, mechanism Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unclear.The decrease alloxan, an OGT inhibitor, increase NAG-thiazolines (NAG-Ae), O-GlcNAcase inhibitor were...
In Taiwan, the numbers of elderly population and people with disabilities are rising. Accordingly, addressing accessible transportation needs these groups is an important issue. Currently, long-term care bus services in Taiwan provide on-demand point-to-point shuttle for elderly. However, currently unable to meet increasing market demand, resulting lower administrative efficiency unsatisfactory service quality. response, present study approaches challenge providing from a design perspective,...
Abstract The solvent‐free self‐healable waterborne poly(urethane‐urea) (SH‐WPU) product is environmentally friendly due to its lower volatile organic compounds emission during the coating process. This research revealed a strategy for breathable textile coating, that longer life of SH‐WPU coated fabric based on self‐healing dynamics triggered by disulfide bond rearrangement upon temperature elevation (e.g., ironing). was synthesized with 4,4′‐methylenebis cyclohexyl isocyanate as hard...
