A colorimetric probe for online analysis of sulfide based on the red shifts of longitudinal surface plasmon resonance absorption resulting from the stripping of gold nanorods.

A gold nanorods (GNRs) nonaggregation-based colorimetric probe has been developed for the detection of S(2-) based on that the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance absorption wavelength (LPAW) of GNRs red shifts (Δλ) and the color of the solution distinctly changes on account of the faster stripping of GNRs along longitudinal axis than transverse axis in the process of GNRs reacting with S(2-) ions to form Au(2)S complexes on the GNRs surfaces. The GNRs probe exhibits highly sensitive and selective response toward S(2-) with a wide linear range from 10.0 to 10000.

Advances in nonfusion techniques for the treatment of scoliosis in children.

Scoliotic deformity in young children is a challenge for the spinal surgeon. Though traditional spinal correction and fusion techniques can improve these deformities, they inhibit growth of the spine. Nonfusion technologies are an effective approach to this problem.

Catalytic solid substrate room temperature phosphorimetry for the determination of trace rhamnose based on its condensation reaction with calcein.

Calcein (R) could not only emit strong and stable room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) on filter paper using I(-) as perturber, but also could be oxidized by H(2)O(2) to form a non-phosphorescence compound (R'), resulting in the quenching of RTP signal of R. Moreover, the ortho-hydrogen of phenolic hydroxyl in R took condensation reaction with rhamnose (Rha) to produce non-phosphorescence compound (R-Rha) causing the RTP signal of R to further quench, and R-Rha was oxidized by H(2)O(2) to form R' and Rha, bringing about the sharp RTP signal quenching of R. Thus, a new solid substrate room temperature phosphorimetry (SSRTP) for the determination of trace Rha based on its strong catalytic effect on H(2)O(2) oxidizing R has been established, with the detection limit (LD) of 7.

A promising CdSe@CdS-quantum dots-cysteine for the determination of trace IgE by solid substrate room temperature phosphorescence immunoassay.

Determination of trace gastrin and diagnosis of human diseases using CdTe quantum dots labelled gastrin antibodies as phosphorescence sensors.

CdTe quantum dots (CdTe-QDs) can emit strong and stable room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) via the perturbation effect of a Pb(2+) ion on the surface of a nitrocellulose membrane (NCM). CdTe-QDs-Ab(GAS), the product of CdTe-QDs labelled gastrin antibodies (Ab(GAS)), can not only maintain good RTP characteristics, but can also be used as a RTP sensor and carry out highly specific immunoreactions with gastrin (GAS) to form GAS-Ab(GAS)-CdTe-QDs causing the ΔI(p) of the system to sharply enhance. Thus, a new solid substrate room temperature phosphorescence immunoassay (SSRTPIA) for the determination of GAS was established based on the linear relativity between the ΔI(p) of the system and the content of GAS.

Determination of trace carvedilol by solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry, based on its activating effect on hypochlorite-oxidizing amaranth using sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate as sensitizer.

This work proposes a simple and sensitive solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry (SS-RTP) for the selective determination of carvedilol (CV). The method is based on the sensitizing effect of sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS) on CV to activate the oxidation between NaClO and amaranth, resulting in the intense quenching of room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of the system. Compared with non-SDBS system, the reduction of phosphorescence intensity (ΔI(p)) with SDBS is 16.

Measurement of 10B content in thin-film 10B samples.

Two thin-film (10)B samples on tantalum backings were made for measurement of cross sections of the (10)B(n,α)(7)Li reaction in the MeV neutron energy region.

A twin gridded ionization chamber was used as the detector of charged particles.

Fullerol-fluorescein isothiocyanate phosphorescent labeling reagent for the determination of glucose and alkaline phosphatase.

The active -OH group in fullerol (F-ol) could react with the dissociated -COOH group in fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) to form F-ol-(FITC)(n), which could emit room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) signal of F-ol and FITC on acetate cellulose membrane (ACM), respectively. Their RTP signals were enhanced by N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA).
