Non-pyrolytic synthesis of laccase-like iron based single-atom nanozymes for highly efficient dual-mode colorimetric and fluorescence detection of epinephrine.

Single-atom nanozymes have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional atom utilization and ability to establish well-defined structure-activity relationships. However, conventional pyrolytic synthesis methods pose challenges such as high energy consumption and random local environments at the active sites, while achieving non-pyrolytic synthesis of single-atom nanozymes remains a formidable technical hurdle. The present study focuses on the synthesis of laccase-like iron-based single-atom nanozymes (Fe-SAzymes) using a non-pyrolysis method facilitated by microwave irradiation.

Colorimetric sensor array for identifying antioxidants based on pyrolysis-free synthesis of Fe-N/C single-atom nanozymes.

Iron-anchored nitrogen/doped carbon single-atom nanozymes (Fe-N/C), which possess homogeneous active sites and adjustable catalytic environment, represent an exemplary model for investigating the structure-function relationship and catalytic activity. However, the development of pyrolysis-free synthesis technique for Fe-N/C with adjustable enzyme-mimicking activity still presents a significant challenge. Herein, Fe-N/C anchored three carrier morphologies were created via a pyrolysis-free approach by covalent organic polymers.

Whole-brain in vivo base editing reverses behavioral changes in Mef2c-mutant mice.

Whole-brain genome editing to correct single-base mutations and reduce or reverse behavioral changes in animal models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has not yet been achieved. We developed an apolipoprotein B messenger RNA-editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-embedded cytosine base editor (AeCBE) system for converting C·G to T·A base pairs. We demonstrate its effectiveness by targeting AeCBE to an ASD-associated mutation of the MEF2C gene (c.

A fluorescent carbon dots synthesized at room temperature for automatic determination of nitrite in Sichuan pickles.

In this paper, highly fluorescent carbon dots were synthesized from sodium ascorbate and polyethyleneimine at room temperature (R-CDs). The proposed green synthesis method was energy-saving, environmentally friendly and easy online. R-CDs exhibit an optimal emission peak of 490 nm under excitation at 380 nm with a quantum yield of 32 %.

Flow injection spectrophotometric determination total antioxidant capacity in human serum samples based on response surface methodology to optimize synthesized peroxidase-like activity carbon dots.

Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is an important indicator for evaluating oxidative stress of the human body. Since TAC is related to the concentration of reducing substances, it can be detected by using peroxidase-like or oxidase-like activity of nanozyme materials. In this work, the cobalt and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Co/N-CDs) are fabricated for building stability and high peroxidase-like nanozyme through the Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology.

Oridonin Induces Apoptosis of Laryngeal Carcinoma via Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress.

Purpose: Oridonin, a bioactive diterpenoid derived from , has been widely reported to exhibit anticancer activity in multiple types of cancer. However, the molecular mechanism of oridonin in human laryngeal carcinoma has not been clearly elucidated. This study investigated the function of oridonin in laryngeal carcinoma to provide a research basis for laryngeal carcinoma therapy.

Clinical significance of nucleostemin expression and its correlation with cyclin D1 expression in malignant ovarian tumors.

Objective: To investigate the expression of the nucleostemin (NS) gene in ovarian tumors and its correlation with the expression of cyclin D1.

Methods: The expression levels of nucleostemin and cyclin D1 proteins were measured by immunohistochemical staining in ovarian tumors and normal ovarian tissues, and the relationship between their levels was analyzed.

Results: Nucleostemin gene and cyclin D1 expressions were detected in 28 and 27 specimens of malignant ovarian tumors (93.
