A novel method for the rapid and sensitive analysis of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) in human urine has been developed that uses a resonance light scattering (RLS) technique. The assay was based on the interaction of ethyl violet (EV) with 1-hydroxypyrene to form an ion-associate complex, which resulted in the enhancement of RLS intensity and the appearance of new RLS spectra. In the presence of anionic surfactant, the maximum RLS peak of the system was located at 396 nm at pH 8.0. Under the optimum conditions, it was found that the enhanced RLS intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of 1-hydroxypyrene in the range of 4.0 - 982 microg l(-1). The detection limit was 1.2 microg l(-1) and the recoveries of 1-hydroxypyrene were 92.8 - 102.3% (n = 6). The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of human urine samples. The results of 1-hydroxypyrene were in agreement with those obtained by the method of high-performance liquid chromatography.

We report here a BiWO/TiCT@Ag (BT@Ag) photothermal photocatalyst for efficient CO reduction with tunable CH selectivity. Incorporation of TiCT MXene creates well-defined heterointerfaces between BiWO and TiCT and converts thermal energy upon light illumination via photothermal effect, which contributes to a mitigation of the recombination of photo-induced charge carries for a high electron mobility. Density functional theory calculations substantiate that TiCT functions as the adsorption site and active center where the transferred electrons are effectively involved in CO reduction for enhanced CH selectivity.

Although Z-scheme heterojunction composites have been widely studied in photocatalysis, in-depth investigation of oxygen vacancies (Ov) in the Z-scheme photocatalysts is still rare. Herein, an oxygen vacancies modified NU-1000/BiOCl-Ov composite with Z-scheme heterojunction was rationally designed and fabricated. The combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiment verified the presence of oxygen vacancies, meanwhile the Z-scheme charge transfer across the heterojunction interface was confirmed in detail by the in situ-XPS, Kelvin probe force microscope (KPFM) studies, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), EPR radical capture experiment, as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculation.

Predicting amyloid status is crucial in light of upcoming disease-modifying therapies and the need to identify treatment-eligible patients with Alzheimer's disease. In our study, we aimed to predict CSF-amyloid status and eligibility for anti-amyloid treatment in a memory clinic by (I) comparing the performance of visual/automated rating scales and MRI volumetric analysis and (II) combining MRI volumetric data with neuropsychological tests and APOE4 status. Two hundred ninety patients underwent a comprehensive assessment.
