A π-conjugated molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with nanopatterns for T-2 toxin (T-2) was prepared on SPR chip by in situ electropolymerization of 3-aminophenylboronicacid (3-APBA) with T-2. The complete removal of T-2 from polymer was confirmed in situ by SPR and EIS and also ex situ by SEM, EDAX, fluorescence microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. SEM image of T-2 MIP exhibited nanopatterns due to imprinting of T-2. The MIP of T-2 showed a linear response for T-2 from 2.1 fM to 33.6 fM with a detection limit of 0.1 fM (0.05 pg/mL). In this study, thermodynamic parameters such as change in Gibb's free energy (ΔG), change in enthalpy (ΔH) and change in entropy (ΔS) were determined and the values revealed that the interaction between T-2 and T-2 MIP as spontaneous, endothermic and entropy driven one. Moreover, interactions of very high concentration of interferents with T-2 MIP showed very less response due to the presence of nanopatterns of T-2 in the T-2 MIP. Equilibrium constant (12.7 fM) obtained in this study indicates the super binding affinity of T-2 with T-2 MIP. Moreover, the present methodology provides an outline to develop field-detection equipment capable of detecting T-2 toxin at or well below the guideline concentrations recommended by American subcommittee on military field drinking water.

Effects of a Mechanically Interlocked Structure on Ionic Conductivity in Polyrotaxane-Based Polymer Electrolytes.
ACS Macro Lett

Polyrotaxane (PR) is a mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) utilized as an electrolyte because of its distinctive property of dynamic molecular mobility. While numerous studies have concentrated on modifying external properties to decrease high crystallinity, few have explored the control of intrinsic properties. This study examines the crystalline properties and molecular mobility of PR-based electrolytes, along with their effects on ionic conductivity, by manipulating intrinsic properties.

Despite evidence of primary hypertension (PH)-associated cognitive dysfunction in pediatric, middle-aged, and older adult populations, respective data in young adults remains scarce. We aimed to define differences in cognitive performance between individuals with PH and healthy controls in early adulthood. A convenience sample of young adults (age 18-45 years) with PH and their healthy sex, age, education, and household income matched counterparts were cross-sectionally tested for verbal fluency, verbal memory, general intelligence, reaction speed, attention, visual memory, and executive functioning.

Objective: Prolonged sleep onset latency (PSOL) and age have been linked to ischemic stroke (IS) severity and the production of chemokines and inflammation, both of which contribute to IS development. This study aimed to explore the relationship between chemokines, inflammation, and the interplay between sleep onset latency (SOL) and age in influencing stroke severity.
Methods: A cohort of 281 participants with mild to moderate IS was enrolled.

Background: Respiratory complications in breast cancer (BC) patients after chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT) have been well acquainted and these complications should be investigated to prevent secondary problems and/or improve BC patients' clinical outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the potential acute effect of systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy on respiratory function and functional status of patients with breast cancer.
Methods: A total of 25 BC patients who were candidates for systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy were recruited after oncological examination and included in this study.

Characterizing the pore and fluid distribution is critical for evaluating the reservoir potential of new areas. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is considered as an experimental method capable of full-scale characterization of pore characteristics. However, the spectrum of a saturated sample is affected by a combination of sample and experimental parameters, and it is important to confirm whether the spectrum fully reflects the sample pore information.
