    Abstract Creatinine O-phosphate (COP) containing phosphorus and nitrogen elements was used as eco-friendly flame-retardant for lyocell/cotton blended fabric (L/C fabric). The flame retardant fabrics are prepared by a simple and effective dip-dry-cure method. Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses certified that COP has been successfully grafted onto the surface of the L/C fabric and distributed evenly. Compared with the control fabric, the thermogravimetric analysis (TG) results showed that the char residue rate of the flame-retardant fabric at 800°C increased by 229% (air atmosphere), indicating that it has excellent char-forming ability. Besides, cone calorimetry results showed that the PHRR and THR values of the treated L/C fabric were reduced by 88.83% and 76.65%, respectively. The volatile pyrolysis products of the treated L/C fabric were determined by thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fourier transform infrared analysis (TG-IR). In general, these results indicated that the L/C fabric treated with COP had high flame retardancy, excellent washing resistance and thermal stability.

    Abstract ABSTRACTOur previous studies reported that viridicatol isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Penicillium griseofulvum could regulate the stabilisation of mast cells to relieve food allergy. To understand the molecular role of viridicatol in stabilising mast cells, transcriptomes of viridicatol-treated RBL-2H3 cells were analysed by RNA-sequencing. There were 128 differentially expressed genes in activated RBL-2H3 cells with or without viridicatol treatment. The mast cell activation-related genes were significantly reduced by treatment with viridicatol through RT-qPCR analysis. Moreover, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis indicated that viridicatol was important in mast cell stabilisation by affecting MAPK and JAK-STAT signalling pathways. Additionally, molecular docking and western blot analysis revealed that the phosphorylated JNK, ERK, P38, and STAT6 proteins were inhibited by viridicatol. Taken together, viridicatol has the potential to be used as a new type of anti-food allergic functional material via controlling MAPK and JAK-STAT signalling pathways of mast cells.

    Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease that is characterized by distinct cytogenetic or genetic abnormalities. Recent discoveries in cancer epigenetics demonstrated a critical role of epigenetic dysregulation in AML pathogenesis. Unlike genetic alterations, the reversible nature of epigenetic modifications is therapeutically attractive in cancer therapy. DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that regulates gene expression and plays a pivotal role in mammalian development including hematopoiesis. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and Ten-eleven-translocation (TET) dioxygenases are responsible for the dynamics of DNA methylation. Genetic alterations of DNMTs or TETs disrupt normal hematopoiesis and subsequently result in hematological malignancies. Emerging evidence reveals that the dysregulation of DNA methylation is a key event for AML initiation and progression. Importantly, aberrant DNA methylation is regarded as a hallmark of AML, which is heralded as a powerful epigenetic marker in early diagnosis, prognostic prediction, and therapeutic decision-making. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of DNA methylation in normal hematopoiesis and AML pathogenesis. We also discuss the clinical implications of DNA methylation and the current therapeutic strategies of targeting DNA methylation in AML therapy.

    Abstract Viridicatol is a quinoline alkaloid isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Penicillium griseofulvum. The structure of viridicatol was unambiguously established by X-ray diffraction analysis. In this study, a mouse model of ovalbumin-induced food allergy and the rat basophil leukemia (RBL)-2H3 cell model were established to explore the anti-allergic properties of viridicatol. On the basis of the mouse model, we found viridicatol to alleviate the allergy symptoms; decrease the levels of specific immunoglobulin E, mast cell protease-1, histamine, and tumor necrosis factor-α; and promote the production of interleukin-10 in the serum. The treatment of viridicatol also downregulated the population of B cells and mast cells (MCs), as well as upregulated the population of regulatory T cells in the spleen. Moreover, viridicatol alleviated intestinal villi injury and inhibited the degranulation of intestinal MCs to promote intestinal barrier repair in mice. Furthermore, the accumulation of Ca 2+ in RBL-2H3 cells was significantly suppressed by viridicatol, which could block the activation of MCs. Taken together, these data indicated that deep-sea viridicatol may represent a novel therapeutic for allergic diseases.

    Abstract Two novel aspochalasins, 20-β-methylthio-aspochalsin Q (named as aspochalasin V), (1) and aspochalasin W (2), were isolated from culture broth of Aspergillus sp., which was found in the gut of a marine isopod Ligia oceanica. The structures were determined on the basis of NMR and mass spectral data analysis. This is the first report about methylthio-substituted aspochalasin derivatives. Cytotoxicity against the prostate cancer PC3 cell line and HCT116 cell line was assayed using the MTT method. Apochalasin V showed moderate activity at IC50 values of 30.4 and 39.2 μM, respectively.

    Abstract According to the relevant criterion and principle for designing and evaluating various trusted computing chips, we have proposed a new trusted SoC chip, and have given the implementation of its basic functional modules. In detail, we have discussed the design of the trusted SoC security architecture and the main module functional modules such as microprocessor, cryptographic function module, security management module, input/output interface, along with the most important memory management unit. Moreover, we have discussed reliability of relevant parameters and transfer strategy for trusted root in chip development and application, together with the simulation and validation of corresponding functions. At last, we point out that one of the most important further research directions is the trusted measurement of dynamic data and software running in security environment.

    Abstract Two new prenylated phenols vaccinol H (1) and vaccinol I (2), together with three known phenols derivatives 3–5, one glyceride derivative 6, and ergosterol 7 were isolated from endogenous Pestalotiopsis vaccinii (cgmcc3.9199) of mangrove plant Kandelia candel (L.) Druce (Rhizophoraceae). The new structures of 1 and 2 were determined by spectroscopic analyses and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Most of the isolated compounds (2–6) were tested for their antiviral (EV71), cytotoxic, anti-tuberculosis, and anti-inflammatory effects. Among these compounds, compound 2 exhibited potent COX-2 inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 16.8μM.
