    Abstract This study presents the process of extracting lignin from sugarcane bagasse collected in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam by the alkali method. NaOH has been used as an effective, environmentally friendly chemical to enhance the extraction process. The obtained lignin was applied for methylene blue (MB) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(vi)) removal. Factors influencing lignin extraction and adsorption processes of MB and Cr(vi) were investigated, showcasing the sustainable reusability of lignin extracted from sugarcane bagasse. Lignin characterization was also carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The results showed that the extracted lignin content reached 38.61% under optimal conditions (NaOH concentration of 10%, reaction temperature of 90 °C and reaction time of 90 min). The adsorption efficiency and capacity of lignin reached 90.90% and 9.09 mg g

    Abstract Purpose: Rectal anastomoses have a persisting high incidence of anastomotic leakage. This study aimed to assess whether the use of a poly-ϵ-caprolactone (PCL) scaffold as reinforcement of a circular stapled rectal anastomosis could increase tensile strength and improve healing compared to a control in a piglet model.
    Method: Twenty weaned female piglets received a stapled rectal anastomosis and were randomised to either reinforcement with PCL scaffold (intervention) or no reinforcement (control). On postoperative day five the anastomosis was subjected to a tensile strength test followed by a histological examination to evaluate the wound healing according to the Verhofstad scoring.
    Results: The tensile strength test showed no significant difference between the two groups, but histological evaluation revealed significant impaired wound healing in the intervention group.
    Conclusion: The incorporation of a PCL scaffold into a circular stapled rectal anastomosis did not increase anastomotic tensile strength in piglets and indicated an impaired histologically assessed wound healing.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: In the search for new natural resources showing antifungal activity, we found that the methanol extract of Pterocarya tonkinensis (Fr.) Dode suppressed the disease development caused by fungi. The objectives of this article were (i) to isolate and identify the antifungal substances from the Pterocarya tonkinensis extract based on a bioassay‐guided fractionation and (ii) to investigate their potential as a biocontrol agent with their antifungal activities in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS: Eighteen compounds were identified from the methanol extract of Pterocarya tonkinensis, including two new natural products 1 and 2: 1, pterocaryalactone; 2, pterocaryafuranone; 3, (1S, 6R)‐9‐hydroxymegastigm‐7‐en‐3‐one; 4, (S)‐dimethyl malate; 5, α‐linolenic acid; 6–8, α‐tetralones; 9, (R)‐methyl‐2‐hydroxyl‐3‐phenyl‐propanoate; 10, (E)‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid methyl ester; 11–14, diarylheptanoids, and 15–18, pentacyclic triterpenoids. Based on the results of the in vitro antifungal assay, Magnaporthe oryzae and Phytophthora infestans were the most sensitive to the isolated compounds among the tested phytopathogenic fungi. When ten active compounds were applied onto plants at a concentration of 100 or 500 μg mL⁻¹, compounds 1 and 8 effectively suppressed rice blast disease, and compounds 15 and 16 not only strongly reduced the development of blast on rice but also effectively controlled the development of late blight on tomatoes. CONCLUSION: This is the first report to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antifungal activities of the isolated compounds from a methanol extract of Pterocarya tonkinensis against phytopathogenic fungi, and our results suggest that Pterocarya tonkinensis and its substances can be used as a source to develop natural fungicides. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

    Abstract Due to the large size and high flexibility of the catalytic active site of BACE1 enzyme, the development of nonpeptide inhibitors with optimal pharmacological properties is still highly demanding. In this work, we have discovered 2-aminobenzimidazole-containg ether scaffolds having potent and selective inhibitory potentials against BACE1 enzyme. We have synthesized novel 29 compounds and optimization of aryl linker region resulted in highly potent BACE1 inhibitory activities with EC

    Abstract Five new flavonoid C-glycosides named desmodinosides A-E (1-5) and one known compound, apigenin 6-C-β-d-xylopyranosyl-2''-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6) have been isolated from the methanol extract of the aerial parts of Desmodium heterocarpon var. stigosum. These compounds were determined by 1D and 2D-NMR and HR-MS spectroscopies. The methanol extract of this plant, in particular, demonstrated hepatoprotection and antifungal inhibition.

    Abstract Synthesis of selenium nanoparticles from selenite by Shewanella sp. HN-41 demonstrated that particle size depended on the reaction time and biomass of cells. The slow reaction and low biomass tended to form small particles. In this study, Shewanella sp. HN-41 was introduced into the anode of a nonexternal circuit bioelectrochemical system (nec_BES) to convert chemical energy from lactate to low electron current to the cathode, where selenite was reduced.Our experiment with two systems, one bioelectrochemical system with a cathode flushed with nitrogen and the other with a no-nitrogen-flushing cathode, showed that the former could not produce Se nanoparticles after 21 d, but the latter formed them with an average size of 37.7 nm. The SEM and TEM images demonstrated that the particle size of 10 nm occupied over 10% and most of the particles were in the range of 30–60 nm. The XRD result and SAED image demonstrated no clear peaks of crystal and proved that the Se nanoparticles are amorphous.The clean Se nanoparticles were synthesized and completely separated from bacterial cells in the bioelectrochemical system. This study opened a new approach for the biological synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Finally, the Se products in the range of 30–60 nm can be tested for antimicrobial activities in medical applications.How to cite: Ho CT, Nguyen T-H, Lam T-T, et al.

    Abstract Scutellaria baicalensis is one of the most well-known medicinal herbs used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine. During our search of antimicrobial botanicals, the methanol extract from the roots of S. baicalensis displayed in vivo control efficacy against various fungal plant diseases and in vitro inhibition against phytopathogenic bacteria. In an in vitro antifungal bioassay, ethyl acetate-soluble extract was highly active against the growth of Magnaporthe oryzae and Phytophthora sp. mycelia in the range of 500 to 5000 µg/mL. Through antifungal activity-guided bioassay, bioactive flavonoids and an oligosaccharide were identified from the EtOAc soluble extract of S. baicalensis roots by ESI-MS and 1D- and 2D-NMR data analyses. These constituents were assessed for their in vitro and in vivo antifungal activities. The major bioactive flavonoids SB1 (wogonin), SB4 (baicalein), and SB5 (baicalin) in the extracts of S. baicalensis’s roots were quantified by HPLC method. Among these three compounds, SB1 exhibited the best in vitro antifungal effect against M. oryzae and in vivo efficacy (63%) against rice blast at 500 µg/mL. SB4 was the most active against plant bacteria Acidovorax avenae subsp. cattlyae, Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, and Ralstonia solanacearum with an MIC value of 19 µg/mL. Moreover, the emulsion-type formulation containing the ethyl acetate-soluble extract of S. baicalensis significantly suppressed the development of rice blast caused and rice leaf blight on the rice plants in vivo. This is the first report that demonstrated bioactive constituents and extracts derived from S. baicalensis plants, which are promising to develop botanical fungicide and bactericide to control various plant diseases.
