Accurately monitoring the content of Cu and Hg in real samples and biological systems is of great significance in ensuring food safety and human health. Therefore, developing efficient methods for simultaneously detecting Cu and Hg is of great significance in living organisms and real samples. In this work, a bifunctional ratiometric and colorimetric fluorescent bio-sensor DPT-1, was designed and synthesized using triphenylamine to specifically and concurrently detect Cu and Hg exhibited varying degrees of fluorescence quenching through "turn-off" fluorescence.

The development of rapid, highly selective, reversibility and sensitive biosensor in vivo detection for Cu and glyphosate was imminent. A novel dual-recognition fluorescence biosensor MPH was successfully synthesized based on triphenylamine, which demonstrated remarkable ratiometric fluorescence quenching toward Cu, while MPH-Cu (1:1) ensemble exhibited ratiometric fluorescence restoration for glyphosate, both with observable color changes in daylight and UV lamp.

Background: This study aims to investigate the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of Trichohyalin (TCHH) in gastric cancer patients through bioinformatics analysis.
Materials And Methods: Data on TCHH expression and clinicopathological information were sourced from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for evaluating the correlation between TCHH mRNA expression levels and clinicopathological features.
Objectives: To compare the effectiveness and safety of transgastric and transrectal pure natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) for cholecystolithotomy.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective comparative study of consecutive patients who underwent pure NOTES for either transrectal or transgastric gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy between September 2017 and April 2020. Patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis were assigned for transrectal or transgastric NOTES based on the patients' choice.
The phytotoxicity of herbicides on crops is a major dilemma in agricultural production. Fortunately, the emergence of herbicide safeners is an excellent solution to this challenge, selectively enhancing the performance of herbicides in controlling weeds while reducing the phytotoxicity to crops. But owing to their potential toxicity, only a tiny proportion of safeners are commercially available.

Multiple screening models in silico have been established to obtain novel lead compounds as HPPD inhibition herbicides.
Results: Topomer comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) combined with topomer search technology and Bayesian, genetic approximation functions (GFA) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models generated by calculating different descriptors were constructed for the quinazolindione derivatives of HPPD inhibitors.
Tembotrione, a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitor, has been widely used in many types of plants. Tembotrione has been reported for its likelihood of causing injury and plant death to certain corn hybrids. Safeners are co-applied with herbicides to protect certain crops without compromising weed control efficacy.

Methods: This was a prospective multicenter randomized trial in which consecutive patients were randomized at a ratio of 1:1 to receive either ERAT or appendectomy. The outcomes included technical success rate, procedure time, postoperative pain relief, postoperative analgesic use, time to soft diet intake, length of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, and recurrence rate.
Background And Aim: Endoscopic resection (ER) and laparoscopic resection (LAP) have been recommended for the treatment of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) less than 2 cm. However, the therapeutic approach for gastric GISTs between 2 and 5 cm in diameter is still under debate. In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of ER for gastric GISTs (2-5 cm) compared with LAP.

In this work, a novel isophorone-based fluorescent probe H-1 was designed and synthesized. The probe H-1 could achieve highly selective detection of Al through forming a 1:1 complex, with a recognition mechanism based on intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The detection limit of the probe H-1 for Al is as low as 8.

Detoxification plays an important role in herbicide action. Herbicide safeners selectively protect crops from herbicide injury without reducing the herbicidal efficiency against the target weeds. With the large-scale use of herbicides, herbicide safeners have been widely used in sorghum, wheat, rice, corn, and other crops.
