Detection of pesticide residues using flower-like silver SERS substrates based on flexible sponge.
Photochem Photobiol Sci
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- This paper introduces a new flexible substrate for detecting pesticide residues using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), combining flower-like silver nanoparticles with a flexible sponge for improved performance.
- The flexible substrate allows for the detection of rhodamine 6G at a minimum limit of 10 mol/L and thiram pesticide at 0.1 mg/L, which is below regulatory limits in China and the USA.
- The research also optimizes a neural network algorithm to predict thiram concentration, achieving strong predictive accuracy with a determination coefficient of 0.99974, indicating effective performance for real-world applications.
Effects of Yinchenhao decoction on self-regulation of renin-angiotensin system by targeting angiotensin converting enzyme 2 in bile duct-ligated rat liver.

In order to investigate whether Yinchenhao decoction (YCHD) attenuates hepatic fibrogenesis in the bile duct ligation (BDL) model via recovering and restoring the self-regulation and balance of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), 33 specific-pathogen-free (SPF) male Sprague-Dawley rats with common BDL and scission were randomly divided into five groups as follows: G1, the sham group (n=4); G2, BDL 7-day group (n=5); G3, BDL+YCHD 430 mg/mL (n=8); G4, BDL+losartan 0.65 mg/mL (ARB group, n=8); G5, model group (BDL without any treatment, n=8). YCHD and losartan (10 mL·kg(-1)·day(-1)) were given by gastric gavage for 16 days following BDL in G3 and G4 groups, respectively.
