is a unique cherry blossom germplasm resource native to China. It is widely distributed across the provinces of Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Henan, with significant variation. We employed phylogeographic analysis to reveal the evolutionary history of to better understand its genetic diversity and structure.

Recent progress in lanthanide-based fluorescent nanomaterials for tetracycline detection and removal.

Tetracycline (TC) has been widely used in clinical medicine and animal growth promotion due to its broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and affordable prices. Unfortunately, the high toxicity and difficult degradation rate of TC molecules make them easy to accumulate in the environment, which breaks the ecological balance and seriously threatens human health. Rapid and accurate detection of TC residue levels is important for ensuring water quality and food safety.

A dual-channel sensing platform for the cross-interference-free detection of tetracycline and copper ion.

Tetracycline (TC) and copper ion (Cu), as important additives in animal feed, play a crucial role in disease prevention and growth regulation. However, the abuse leads to concentration accumulation, which seriously threatens human health and the ecological environment. There is an urgent need to develop a detection method to achieve fast and synchronous detection of these pollutants without cross-interference.

Population Variation and Phylogeography of Cherry Blossom () in China.

(subgenus , Rosaceae) is a significant germplasm resource of wild cherry blossom in China. To ensure the comprehensiveness of this study, we used a large sample size (12 populations comprising 244 individuals) which involved the fresh leaves of in Eastern, Central, and Southwestern China. We combined morphological and molecular evidence (three chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) sequences and one nuclear DNA (nr DNA) sequence) to examine the population of variation and differentiation.

Molecular and morphological evidence support a new species of Rosaceae subg. from Wuyishan National Park, southeast China.

, a new species of cherry blossom, is described and illustrated from Wuyishan National Park, southeast China. This species is characterized by its tubular to nearly bottle-shaped receptacles and dark purple drupes. It can be distinguished from other wild cherry trees by its flowers and leaves, reddish brown young leaves, presence of 1-2 glands at the base of leaves, petioles densely covered with yellowish brown villi, longer pedicels (0.

A sensitive fluorometric-colorimetric dual-mode intelligent sensing platform for the detection of formaldehyde.

Excess formaldehyde (FA) is a strong carcinogen, so the development of a rapid visualized and portable formaldehyde detection platform is of great research importance. A multi-color fluorescence sensing system constituted of model compound (NAHN) and red-emitting InP/ZnS QDs was constructed herein, which can simultaneously realize fluorometric-colorimetric dual-mode sensing when exposed to FA environment. Its preparation process was simplified, the detection process was green, and the limits of detection (LOD) were 0.

Dual-Channel Probe of Carbon Dots Cooperating with Lanthanide Complex Employed for Simultaneously Distinguishing and Sequentially Detecting Tetracycline and Oxytetracycline.

Tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC) are the most widely used broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents in tetracycline drugs, and their structures and properties are very similar, so it is a great challenge to distinguish and detect these two antibiotics with a single probe at the same time. Herein, a dual-channel fluorescence probe (SiCDs@mMIPs-cit-Eu) was developed by integrating two independent reaction sites with SiCDs-doped mesoporous silica molecular imprinting group and europium complex group into a nanomaterial. The synergistic influence of inner filter effect and "antenna effect" can be guaranteed to solve the distinction between TC and OTC.

A stick-like intelligent multicolor nano-sensor for the detection of tetracycline: The integration of nano-clay and carbon dots.

In recent years, the overuse of antibiotics has caused more and more serious environmental pollution, the uncontrolled abuse of antibiotics makes bacteria produce resistance to antibiotics faster than the replacement rate of antibiotics themselves, leading to the emergence of super drug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to establish a simple, rapid and sensitive method for the detection of antibiotics. By integrating natural nano-clay (Atta) and carbon dots (CDs), the real-time and rapid visual detection of tetracycline (TC) in the sample can be realized by chromaticity pick-up APP on smartphone.

Ultrasensitive and visual detection of tetracycline based on dual-recognition units constructed multicolor fluorescent nano-probe.

Ultrasensitive and visual detection of tetracycline antibiotic (TC) residues is of great significance to public health and environmental safety. A novel dual-response ratiometric fluorescent nano-probe (SiQDs-Cit-Eu) has been elaborately tailored for the determination and on-site visual assay of tetracycline, by grafting citric acid and europium (Eu) ions onto the surface of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs). The blue-emissive SiQDs (λ = 455 nm) fabricated by a one-step facile method act as both scaffold for coordination with Eu ions and recognition unit for TC owing to the inner filter effect (IFE).

A smartphone-integrated multicolor fluorescence probe of bacterial spore biomarker: The combination of natural clay material and metal-organic frameworks.

The metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) functionalized palygorskite (Pal) hybrid as a novel multicolor fluorescence probe for the detection of bacterial spore biomarker-dipicolinic acid (DPA), had been prepared via in-situ growth. The MOFs can effectively encapsulate dye molecules on the surface of Pal, and the rich carboxyl groups on its surface can coordinate with europium ions (Eu), forming a highly sensitive recognition group. The results indicated that the limit of detection (LOD) of this multicolor fluorescence probe was as low as 9.

A Ratiometric Fluorescent Nano-Probe for Rapid and Specific Detection of Tetracycline Residues Based on a Dye-Doped Functionalized Nanoscaled Metal-Organic Framework.

Tetracycline (TC) residues are harmful to the environment and human body, so it is necessary to develop a highly sensitive probe for rapid detection of tetracycline residues. In the present paper, a novel dye-doped porous metal-organic framework (UiO-66)-based multi-color fluorescent nano-probe was designed for sensitive ratiometric detection of tetracycline (TC). In this probe, dye-molecules doped UiO-66 was used as a fluorescent internal standard, and the externally grafted lanthanide Eu complex was used as response signals.

Eradication of growth of HER2-positive ovarian cancer with trastuzumab-DM1, an antibody-cytotoxic drug conjugate in mouse xenograft model.

Objective: Ovarian cancer is 1 kind of a highly malignant gynecologic tumor, and current treatments have not achieved satisfactory effects. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapies including trastuzumab and trastuzumab-DM1 (T-DM1) (antibody-cytotoxic drug conjugates) have been applied to treat HER2-overexpressing breast cancers in clinic. In the present study, we explored whether T-DM1 could effectively treat HER2-positive human ovarian carcinoma in vitro and in vivo.

miR-185 targets RhoA and Cdc42 expression and inhibits the proliferation potential of human colorectal cells.

Increasing evidence in the past few years has shown that miRNAs could serve functionally as "oncogenes" or "tumor suppressor genes" and regulate multiple cellular processes relevant to carcinogenesis and cancer progression. Both RhoA and Cdc42, two members of the Rho GTPase family, are found to be upregulated in several types of human tumors including colorectal cancer, and have been implicated in cancer initiation and progression. In the present studies, we found that miR-185 expression greatly inhibited the proliferation potential of Hela cells.
