Published: January 2011

Increasing the citrate concentration during the seeded growth synthesis of gold nanoparticles yields materials with decreased aspect ratios and increased defect densities. The stability of these nanoparticles is attributed to variations in their overall Gibb's free energy.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. About 99% of calcium is deposited in the bones in the form of hydroxyapatite and only 1% is located in the intracellular and extracellular fluid. Ionized calcium, which makes up about 50% of the total amount of circulating calcium, is biologically active; the remaining percentage is bound to plasma proteins (40%, of which albumin accounts for 90%, and globulins for 10%), or is in complex with anions (10%) such as citrate, lactate, bicarbonate, phosphate.

The rise of antibiotic resistance poses a significant and ongoing challenge to public health, with pathogenic bacteria remaining a persistent threat. Traditional culture methods, while considered the gold standard for bacterial detection and viability assessment, are time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address this limitation, we developed a novel point-of-care (POC) detection method leveraging citrate- and alkyne-modified gold nanorods (AuNRs) synthesized with click chemistry properties.

Detection of biomolecules, Glutathione (GSH) in particular, is important because it helps assess antioxidant capacity, cellular protection, detoxification processes, and potential disease associations. Monitoring glutathione levels can provide valuable information about overall health and well-being. Many medical disorders have been connected to glutathione levels.

Introduction: Peels are an abundant but still underutilized waste product in the Citrus fruit industry. They contain coumarins with antiadipogenic potential that could be promising targets in new valorization strategies for Citrus peels.

Objectives: In this study, these coumarins, that is, citropten, bergamottin, and 5-geranyloxy-7-methoxycoumarin (5G7MC), were investigated in Citrus limon peels of different commercial varieties by HPLC-DAD after extraction with ethanol and choline chloride-based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) as alternative extraction agents in green natural product extraction.

Background: The aim of the study was to explore a feasible method for alleviating limb ischemia-reperfusion injury (LI/RI) through the use of a high-concentration citrate solution (HC-A solution) for limb perfusion (LP).

Methods: Eighteen pigs were divided into three groups: the Sham group, LI/RI group, and HCA group. The Sham group underwent exposure of the iliac artery and vein.
