Design, Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Fluorescence Probe for Zn Based on Pyrano[3,2-c] Carbazole.

Zinc is a trace element, which plays an important role in many biological processes. The deficiency of zinc will lead to many diseases. Thus, it is of great significance to develop fast and efficient quantitative detection technology for zinc ions.

Effects of power frequency electric field exposure on kidney.

With the rapid development of ultra high voltage alternating current (UHV AC) transmission, the intensity of environmental power frequency electric field (PFEF) near UHV AC transmission lines increased continuously, which has attracted considerable public attention on the potential health effects of PFEF. In this study, the effect of PFEF exposure on the kidney was explored. Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were exposed to 35 kV/m PFEF (50 Hz).
