We have previously reported that a double-chain anionic amphiphile capable of intermolecular triple hydrogen bonds could form extremely hydrophobic sites in water and specifically incorporated stilbazolium-based compact hemicyanine dyes as monomeric species, resulting in induction of intense fluorescence emission in the dyes. In this paper, the structural requirements of the intense fluorescence-inducing amphiphiles were investigated. It is noted that the introduction of beta-Ala residues into two long-chain alkyl group moieties was most effective for the amphiphiles derived from L-glutamic acid with relatively shorter side-chain methylenes. The dye specificity in terms of induction of the intense fluorescence was also investigated using hemicyanines (stilbazolium etc.), cyanine, carbocyanine, thiacarbocyanines, and azo dye. The amphiphile with the shortest octanoyl-beta-alanyl double-chain alkyl groups, longer side-chain, and shorter spacer was found to show increased sensitivity to alkali metal ions, especially Li(+). This could be a potential OFF-ON type fluorescence sensor for Li(+).

To explore biomarkers for the efficacy of lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) treating women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA). Serum samples from 24 URSA potients who received LIT were collected at Peking University Third Hospital from December 2014 to June 2015. Semiquantitative sandwich-based antibody arrays containing 40 cytokines were used to screen target immune cytokines in the peripheral blood of URSA patients before and after LIT.

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have garnered considerable attention owing to their potential biological impact on human health. These particles exhibit a range of physicochemical properties, including size, shape, and surface oxidation. Nile Red is a prominent tool for detecting microplastics, enabling staining for dynamic analyses within biological systems.

A green approach towards the synthesis of both conventional and magnetic fluorescent powders for revealing latent fingerprints (FPs) is disclosed. The powders formulation is based on a biodegradable matrix and fluorescent dyes extracted from commercial felt-tip markers. Two classes of powders are described: one with a fluorescent component, and other with both fluorescent and magnetic components.

Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide globally, has prompted concerns regarding its potential health impacts. This study aimed to explore the link between glyphosate exposure and renal function by combining NHANES, a zebrafish model, and metabolomics. A cross-sectional analysis of 2013-2014 NHANES data investigated the relationship between glyphosate exposure and renal function [albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)].

Background: Neuronal cholesterol deficiency may contribute to the synaptopathy observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Intact synaptic vesicle (SV) mobility is crucial for normal synaptic function, whereas disrupted SV mobility can trigger the synaptopathy associated with AD.
