Sensitive detections for three kinds of vitamin B in aqueous solution and on test paper by fluorescent dual-emission carbon dots.

Although a few of fluorescent probes based on carbon dots (CDs) for vitamin B (VB) determination have been emerged, none of them can realize the detection of different kinds of VB. In this paper, nitrogen, chlorine co-doped dual-emission CDs (N, Cl-CDs) with emissions at 404 nm and 595 nm have been easily synthesized. VB, VB and VB can all induce obvious fluorescence turn-off response toward the N, Cl-CDs.

A sensitive sensor based on carbon dots for the determination of Fe and ascorbic acid in foods.

To develop a feasible, sensitive, and essential sensor is important for the identification of Fe ions and ascorbic acid (AA). Herein, highly fluorescent heteroatom co-doped carbon dots (N,S-CDs) with a quantum yield (QY) of 24.6% were synthesized, using hydrothermal treatment of L-cysteine (Cys) and 1-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (ANSA).

The Proportion of Vδ1T Cells in Peripheral Blood Correlated with Prognosis of Sepsis.

Background: Sepsis is a serious condition with a high mortality rate, and septic patients often have organ dysfunction, low tissue perfusion and hypoxia, lactic acidosis, oliguria, or functional brain changes.

Objective: To observe the number and the function of Vδ1T cells in peripheral blood of septic patients, to analyze the clinical significance of detecting Vδ1T cells, and to clarify the correlation of their presence with the prognosis of sepsis.

Methods: The basic data of the septic patients were recorded at admission.

Propofol suppressed cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis of bladder cancer cells by regulating the miR-340/CDK2 signal axis.

Background: As widely reported, propofol can effectively inhibit tumors development. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms. Here, we proved that propofol regulated miR-340/CDK2 axis to suppress bladder cancer progression in vitro.

Synthesis of carbon dots for Al sensing in water by fluorescence assay.

Fifty-four Eucommia ulmoides leaves were subjected to a hydrothermal technique to synthesize carbon dots (CDs) of 3.55 ± 1.45 nm size.

Alleviation of sepsis-associated encephalopathy by ginsenoside via inhibition of oxidative stress and cell apoptosis: An experimental study.

Ginsenoside (Rg1) has biological effects including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, neuroprotection and neural function improvement, but with few studies in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). This study thus evaluated Ginsenoside in alleviating SAE, suppressing oxidative stress (OS) or neuronal apoptosis. SAE mouse model was generated and were assigned into SAE, SAE + LD-Rg1, and SAE + HD-Rg1 groups to measure neural apoptosis by flow cytometry.

Role of Metallothionein-1 and Metallothionein-2 in the Neuroprotective Mechanism of Sevoflurane Preconditioning in Mice.

This study investigated the protective effects and mechanisms of sevoflurane preconditioning (SPC) on neurons in ischemic mice. After SPC, mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Cerebral infarction area, cell apoptosis, and metallothionein-1 (MT-1) and metallothionein-2 (MT-2) expressions in MCAO mice were analyzed.

[Application of stroke volume variation-guided liquid therapy in laparoscopic precision hepatectomy].

To observe the safety and impact on the short-term prognosis for patients of stroke volume variation (SVV) goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) in laparoscopic precision hepatectomy.
 Methods: A total of 120 patients (18-65 years old) undergoing laparoscopic precision hepatectomy were randomly divided into the fluid therapy group (group S) guided by SVV and the fluid therapy group (group C) guided by central venous pressure group (CVP), with 60 cases in each group. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded at the following time: at home calm (T0), the operation started (T1), began to cut the liver (T2), the hepatectomy was acheived (T3), and in the end (T4).
