Abstract. ZnO nanoparticles with different morphology were synthesized through a one-step and low temperature hydrothermal method with different reaction time. The prepared ZnO nanoparticles have been used as photocatalysts for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) aqueous solution under UV irradiation to study the relationship between the morphology and photocatalytic performance. The phase, crystallographic structure and morphology of synthesised ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles were carried out by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). SEM results showed that different particle sizes and morphologies of flower-like, elliptical-shape and rod-shapes were obtained at 60 °C for 1 h, 4 h, 8 h and 12 h, which promoted photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) aqueous solution under UV light irradiation. Especially, elliptical-shape ZnOnanoparticles with reaction time of 4 h were most efficient, and the degradation rate was up to 98.2% after 20 min UV irradiation.

A new methodology for enhancing the solvent resistance of electrospun polyimide (PI) ultrafine fibrous mat (UFM) was investigated in the current work. For this purpose, a negative intrinsically photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) resin was prepared by the one-step high- temperature polycondensation procedure from 3,3’,4,4’-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) and α,α-bis(4-amino-3,5-dimethylphenyl)phenylmethane (PTMDA). The PI varnish, by dissolving the derived PI (BTDA-PTMDA) resin in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) at a solid of 20 wt %, was used as the starting material for the standard electrospinning (ES) and ultraviolet-assisted ES (UVAES) fabrications, respectively. The 365 nm wavelength of the high-pressure mercury lamp ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induced the photocrosslinking reaction in the PSPI mat. Solubility tests indicated that the PI UFM fabricated by standard ES procedure showed poor DMAc resistance, while the one by UVAES (PI-UV) exhibited excellent resistance to DMAc.

Photoresponsive systems for site-selective RNA scission have been prepared by combining Lu(III) ions with acridine/azobenzene dual-modified DNA. The modified DNA forms a heteroduplex with substrate RNA, and the target phosphodiester linkages in front of the acridine residue is selectively activated so that Lu(III) ion rapidly cleaves the linkage. Azobenzene residue introduced adjacent to the acridine residue acts as a photoresponsive switch, which triggers the site-selective scission upon UV irradiation. Atransisomer of azobenzene efficiently suppresses the scission, whereas the cis isomer formed by UV irradiation hardly affects the scission. As a result, 1.7–2.4-fold acceleration of the cleavage was achieved simply by irradiating UV for 3 min to the mixture prior to the reaction. Considering the yield of photoisomerization, the intrinsic activity of acisisomer is up to 14.5-fold higher than that of thetransisomer.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) has prompted a need for mass testing to identify patients with viral infection. The high demand has created a global bottleneck in testing capacity, which prompted us to modify available resources to extract viral RNA and perform reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect SARS-COV-2. OBJECTIVES: Report on the use of a DNA extraction kit, after modifications, to extract viral RNA that could then be detected using an FDA-approved SARS-COV-2 RT-qPCR assay. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Initially, automated RNA extraction was performed using a modified DNA kit on samples from control subjects, a bacteriophage, and an RNA virus. We then verified the automated extraction using the modified kit to detect in-lab propagated SARSCOV-2 titrations using an FDA approved commercial kit (S, N, and ORF1b genes) and an in-house primer-probe based assay (E, RdRp2 and RdRp4 genes). RESULTS: Automated RNA extraction on serial dilutions SARS-COV-2 achieved successful one-step RT-qPCR detection down to 60 copies using the commercial kit assay and less than 30 copies using the in-house primer-probe assay. Moreover, RT-qPCR detection was successful after automated RNA extraction using this modified protocol on 12 patient samples of SARS-COV-2 collected by nasopharyngeal swabs and stored in viral transport media. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated the capacity of a modified DNA extraction kit for automated viral RNA extraction and detection using a platform that is suitable for mass testing. LIMITATIONS: Small patient sample size. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.
