The synthesis of the pentaammine ruthenium(II) complex of N-isonicotinoyl-nortriptyline (NORPy-Ru(2+)) was performed and its electrochemical properties at a nafion-loaded carbon paste electrode were examined. The anodic oxidation of the positively charged labeled antidepressant proceeded at -0.06 V (versus Ag/AgCl, 0.05 M Cl(-)). A detection limit of 0.075 muM (S/N=3) was achieved at physiological pH by square-wave voltammetry after a 5-min preconcentration step, with a linear response over the range 0.075-5.0 muM. With a view to a future triple-analyte immunoassay, the detection of NORPy-Ru(2+) was also examined in the presence of two labeled antiepileptics previously synthesised, i.e. phenytoin labeled by a ferroceneammonium salt (oxidation potential at 0.26 V) and phenobarbital labeled by a cobaltocenium salt (reduction potential at -1.05 V). The simultaneous detection of the three labeled drugs proceeded with analytical performances similar to those corresponding to the separate accumulation of each tracer. However it was observed that the pentaammine ruthenium(II) complexes of pyridine and its derivatives were not stable in the presence of serum, which does not allow for their use as redox cationic labels in a multi-analyte immunoassay to be envisaged.

Cognitive load stimulates neural activity, essential for understanding the brain's response to stress-inducing stimuli or mental strain. This study examines the feasibility of evaluating cognitive load by extracting, selection, and classifying features from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We employed robust local mean decomposition (R-LMD) to decompose EEG data from each channel, recorded over a four-second period, into five modes.

The simultaneous detection and removal of Ag from drinking water was crucial for preventing human health, while it was also extremely challenging due to bifunctional materials that combine both Ag adsorption and detection functions rarely being explored. In this study, a benzotrithiophene-based covalent organic framework (TAPA-BTT) was synthesized and applied to detect and remove Ag. TAPA-BTT exhibited high crystallinity, a large specific surface area, and good thermal stability.

Epinephrine (Ep) is an important neurotransmitter, which plays an important role in the nervous system and glycogen metabolism of living organisms. Hence, a novel NCQDs/FeCoFe-PBA composite with FeCoFe-Prussian blue analogues (PBA) as the core and nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs) as the shell was constructed by a one-pot hydrothermal method, and it was used for the efficient detection of Ep. As a good electroactive material, NCQDs in the composite not only improved the weak conductivity of FeCoFe-PBA, but also limited the self-aggregation of FeCoFe-PBA, and formed a uniform shell on FeCoFe-PBA.

Purpose: The incidence of vascular dementia (VaD), as one of the main types of dementia in old age, has been increasing year by year, and exploring its pathogenesis and seeking practical and effective treatment methods are undoubtedly the key to solving this problem. Phosphoglycerate translocase 5 (PGAM5), as a crossroads of multiple signaling pathways, can lead to mitochondrial fission, which in turn triggers the onset and development of necroptosis, and thus PGAM5 may be a novel target for the prevention and treatment of vascular dementia.
Methods: Animal model of vascular dementia was established by Two-vessel occlusion (2-VO) method, and cellular model of vascular dementia was established by oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) method.

Skin-like sensors capable of detecting multiple stimuli simultaneously have great potential in cutting-edge human-machine interaction. However, realizing multimodal tactile recognition beyond human tactile perception still faces significant challenges. Here, an extreme environments-adaptive multimodal triboelectric sensor was developed, capable of detecting pressure/temperatures beyond the range of human perception.
