A potentiometric biosensor has been designed on the basis of glass pH-electrode with a sensing device of the microcellular polyelectrolytic coating containing urease. The polymeric walls of the coating are readily permeable for low-molecular weight compounds, including urea, but are impermeable for macromolecules. The main characteristics of the biosensor in various experimental solutions containing urea, low-molecular-weight salt, and buffer have been obtained. The sensor has been shown to be stable for at least three weeks. The standard curves of the sensor are linear in the range of urea concentrations from 0.2 to 20 mM.

Periparturient dairy cows experience metabolic adaptations to prepare for increased nutrient requirements of the fetus and the onset of lactation. Adaptations include increased peripheral tissue insulin resistance, which can be evaluated experimentally using intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTT). The objective of this study was to determine if prepartum skeletal muscle reserves and supplementation of branched-chain volatile fatty acids (BCVFA) in the prepartum period affected blood glucose, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), and insulin concentrations 2 wk prepartum and 1 wk postpartum utilizing an IVGTT.

A computational chemistry-based approach to optimizing PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

Front Chem

January 2025

Suzhou Research Center of Medical School, Suzhou Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Suzhou, China.

Introduction: To design effective small molecule inhibitors targeting the immune checkpoint PD-1/PD-L1 and to explore their inhibitory activity.

Methods: In this paper, a total of 69 PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors with the same backbone were searched through opendatabases, and their docking mechanism with PD-L1 protein was investigatedby molecular docking method, and the active conformation of the inhibitors was explored. The biological activity of the four newly designed inhibitors was also evaluated using ELISA.

The design of photobioreactors for microalgae cultivation aims to achieve an architecture that allows the most efficient photosynthetic growth. The availability of light at wavelengths that are important for photosynthesis is therefore particularly crucial for reactor design. While testing different reactor types in practice is expensive, simulations could effectively limit the range of material and reactor design options.

Our study introduces a pioneering underwater single-pixel imaging approach that employs an orbital angular momentum (OAM) basis as a sampling scheme and a dual-attention residual U-Net generative adversarial network (DARU-GAN) as reconstruction algorithm. This method is designed to address the challenges of low sampling rates and high turbidity typically encountered in underwater environments. The integration of the OAM-basis sampling scheme and the improved reconstruction network not only enhances reconstruction quality but also ensures robust generalization capabilities, effectively restoring underwater target images even under the stringent conditions of a 3.

Mutual solubility of ammonium perrhenate in solutions containing ammonium salts.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Chemical Engineering and Process Design, Faculty of Chemistry, Silesian University of Technology, Ul. Ks. M. Strzody 7, 44-100, Gliwice, Poland.

Mutual solubility measurements were carried out for three multi-component systems of ammonium perrhenate (NHReO) and one of the ammonium salts (NHNO, NHCl or (NH)SO) dissolved in water. Experiments were carried out using the isothermal solution saturation method at 293.15K.
