Design and application of Cd polypeptide fluorescent probes based on Aggregation Induced Emission (AIE).

Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal, which is both an environmental pollutant, and a threat to human health. A fluorescent probe was developed to detect Cd selectively, sensitively, and quickly. This study reports the successful development of a polypeptide fluorescent probe TPE-HC (TPE-His-Pro-Gly-Cys) which selectively detects Cd by Aggregation-Induced Emission effect.

Quantitative comparison and evaluation between aerial and underground parts of through simultaneous determination of five major compounds by RP-HPLC.

Herbal Maxim. (Family Gentianaceae), "Ma Hua Jiao" in Chinese, is a commonly used Chinese medicine. Secoiridoids and flavonoids have been identified as the major active components of herbal medicines used in the treatment of hepatitis, rheumatism and many other diseases.

Ligand reaction-based fluorescent peptide probes for the detection of Cu and glutathione.

Copper is a critical element in both human and animal metabolic processes. Its role includes supporting connective tissue cross-linking, as well as iron and lipid metabolism; at the same time, copper is also a toxic heavy metal that can cause harm to both the environment and human health. Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine combined with sulfhydryl groups.

Comparison between thulium laser resection of prostate and transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate or transurethral resection of prostate.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases in middle-aged and elderly men. In the present study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of thulium laser resection of the prostate (TMLRP) with either transurethral plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (TUPKP) or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). A literature search was performed, eventually, 14 studies involving 1587 patients were included.
