Effects of organophosphorus flame retardant EHDPP on mouse retinal photoreceptor cells: Oxidative stress, apoptosis, and proinflammatory response.

2-Ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) is a frequently utilized organophosphorus flame retardant (OPFR) and has been extensively detected in environmental media. Prolonged daily exposure to EHDPP has been linked to potential retinal damage, yet the adverse impacts on the retina are still generally underexplored. In this research, we explored oxidative stress, inflammation, and the activating mechanisms initiated by EHDPP in mouse retinal photoreceptor (661 W) cells following a 24 h exposure period.

Mitochondria-targeted SkQ1 nanoparticles for dry eye disease: Inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation by preventing mitochondrial DNA oxidation.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial ocular surface disorder mutually promoted by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ocular surface inflammation. NLRP3 is the key regulator for inducing ocular surface inflammation in DED. However, the mechanism by which ROS influences the bio-effects of NLRP3, and the consequent development of DED, largely remains elusive.

Highly selective and sensitive determination of uranyl ion by the probe of CdTe quantum dot with a specific size.

Determination of trace amounts of uranyl ions is of great significance to environment and human health, but challenging. In this paper, we demonstrate a new approach for highly effective determination of uranyl ions by the probe of CdTe quantum dot (QD) with a specific size. The selectivity is relied on the probe of CdTe quantum dots; the selectivity, which was a function of QDs size, was optimum at 6.

Phosphonate and carboxylic acid co-functionalized MoS sheets for efficient sorption of uranium and europium: Multiple groups for broad-spectrum adsorption.

It is significant to develop novel materials and techniques for efficient removal of radionuclides from radioactive wastes due to the radioactive and chemical toxicity. In this paper, we report a strategy for broad-spectrum adsorption of radionuclides by multiple groups-decorated adsorbents. Specifically, the adsorbents were prepared by grafting diethyl-(4-vinylbenzyl) phosphonate and maleic anhydride copolymers onto molybdenum disulfide sheets for the sorption of uranium(VI) and europium(III).
