Fluorometric detection of quinolones via AIE and FRET with terbium-doped carbon dots and copper nanoclusters.

Terbium and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Tb@N-CDs), combined with α-lipoic acid-functionalized copper nanoclusters (LA@CuNCs), were proposed for the ratiometric detection of quinolone (QA) antibiotics. In this system, Tb@N-CDs facilitate the aggregation of LA@CuNCs, enhancing its fluorescence emission at 670 nm via aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE). Meanwhile, the fluorescence emission of Tb@N-CDs at 460 nm diminishes due to Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET).

The Effect of a Vegan Diet on the Health Indicators and Outcomes of P atients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Introduction/objectives: Recently, there has been a notable increase in interest in various forms of vegetarianism, which may be due to the growing prevalence of health issues, such as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Adhering to a vegan diet may have positive health outcomes. As a result, we conducted a review article to gather data from previous research studies on the effects of a vegan diet on different aspects of managing patients with T2DM.
