    Abstract Polyaluminocarbosilane (PACS) is an important precursor for silicon carbide (SiC) fibers and ceramics. The structure of PACS and the oxidative curing, thermal pyrolysis, and sintering effect of Al have already been substantially studied. However, the structural evolution of polyaluminocarbosilane itself during the polymer-ceramic conversion process, especially the changes in the structure forms of Al, are still pending questions. In this study, PACS with a higher Al content is synthesized and the above questions are elaborately investigated by FTIR, NMR, Raman, XPS, XRD, and TEM analyses. It is found that up to 800-900 °C the amorphous SiO

    Abstract The promising effect of Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge husks against Alzheimer's disease has attracted more and more attention; however, its therapeutic mechanism has been unclear. A metabolomics study of the husks on rat serum and brain was carried out. Cognitive impairment of rats was induced by D-galactose and amyloid β, and the result was evaluated by Morris water maze test and brain histological analysis. The metabolite profiling was performed through ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Twelve potential biomarkers were identified in the rat serum and nineteen in the brain. All the biomarkers could be classified as amino acids, lipids, purines and bile acids. Both the husk extract and control drug, huperzine A, showed protective effect against the cognitive disorder induced by amyloid β, however, the husk extract exhibited significant effect on more targets, which included arachidonic acid, cholic acid, uric acid and citric acid etc., indicating the regulation of the husks of more pathways including neuroinflammation, energy metabolism and antioxidant ability. Triterpenoid saponins and polyphenols in the husks may contribute to the regulation of these pathways. This comprehensive study revealed the underlying therapeutic mechanism of the husks against Alzheimer's disease; some potential biomarkers for its clinical diagnosis were also provided.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a widespread neurodegenerative disease caused by complicated disease-causing factors. Unsatisfactorily, curative effects of approved anti-AD drugs were not good enough due to their actions on single-target, which led to desperate requirements for more effective drug therapies involved in multiple pathomechanisms of AD. The anti-AD effect with multiple action targets of Kai-Xin-San (KXS), a classic prescription initially recorded in

    Abstract Pluronic L61 unimers, which are biomacromolecular modulators, and curcumin, a small-molecule modulator, were co-formulated into pH-sensitive micelles to reveal the full synergistic potential of combination drug treatments to reverse multidrug resistance (MDR). Compared to monotherapy, combined therapy significantly improved the cytotoxicity, cellular uptake and apoptotic effects of doxorubicin (DOX) against MCF-7/ADR cells. In mechanistic studies, both L61 and curcumin enhanced the cytotoxic effect by acting on mitochondrial signalling pathways. The compounds selectively accumulated in the mitochondria and disabled the mitochondria by dissipating the mitochondrial membrane potential, decreasing the ATP levels, and releasing cytochrome c, which initiated a cascade of caspase-9 and caspase-3 reactions. Furthermore, both curcumin and L61 down-regulated the expression and function of P-gp in response to drug efflux from the MCF-7/ADR cells. In the MCF-7/ADR tumour-bearing mouse model, intravenous administration of the combined therapy directly targeted the tumour, as revealed by the accumulation of DiR in the tumour site, which led to a significant inhibition of tumour growth without measurable side effects. In conclusion, co-formulation consisting of L61 and curcumin in pH-sensitive micelles induced significant synergistic effects on the reversal of MDR. Therefore, the intracellular co-delivery of various MDR modulators has great potential to reverse MDR in tumours.
