Silver nanoparticles supported on metal-organic framework (ZIF-67)-derived CoO nanostructures (Ag NPs/CoO) were synthesized via a facile in situ reduction strategy. The resulting materials exhibited pH-switchable peroxidase/catalase-like catalytic activity. Ag NP doping greatly enhanced the catalytic activity of Ag NPs/CoO towards 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation and HO decomposition which were 59 times (A of oxTMB) and 3 times (A of HO) higher than that of ZIF-67, respectively.

Ningnanmycin is a widely used antibiotic in agricultural production that effectively controls fungal and viral diseases in tea trees and chrysanthemums. The polarity characteristic of ningnanmycin has posed limitations on the development of robust detection methods, thereby hindering effective monitoring and control measures. By combining cation exchange solid phase extraction (SPE) with hydrophilic interaction chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS), we have effectively tackled the issue pertaining to the separation and retention of ningnanmycin.

Gouty arthritis (GA) is an inflammatory disease characterized by pain. The primary goal of current treatment strategies during GA flares remains the reduction of inflammation and pain. Research suggests that the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites contribute to the modulation of the inflammatory mechanism associated with GA, particularly through their effect on macrophage polarization.

While previous studies have primarily investigated changes in COVID-19-related antibodies post-vaccination for RMD patients, this study sought to explore the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies and neutralising antibodies (NAb) in RMD patients after COVID-19 infection.
Methods: In this longitudinal study, we monitored the SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies and NAb levels in RMD patients and healthy controls (HC) at 60 and 90 days post-COVID-19 infection.
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a global health threat by causing persistent and recurrent microbial infections. To address this issue, antimicrobial nanoparticles (NPs) with low drug resistance but potent bactericidal effects have been developed. However, many of the developed NPs display poor biosafety and their synthesis often involves complex procedures and the antimicrobial modes of action are unclear.

This study aims to comprehensively identify and characterize PAs in tea (Camellia sinensis) flowers using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/Q-Exactive orbitrap mass spectrometry based on a lab-developed in-silico accurate-mass database. The PAs found in tea flowers were conjugates of Z/E-hydroxycinnamic acids (p-coumaric, caffeic and ferulic acids) with polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and agmatine).

Plant pigments normally exhibit non-negligible absorbance in the UV-visible region. As a result, the signals of a typical near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe could be disturbed through primary inner filter effect if it is excited by UV-visible light during plant sample analysis.

Tumor invasion/metastasis is still the major cause of death in cancer patients. Membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is directly related to tumor invasion/metastasis. To accurately and quickly distinguish the risk of invasion/metastasis of primary tumor cells, it is urgent to develop a simple and precise quantitative method to distinguish the expression level of MT1-MMP.
