The exponentially modified Gaussian (EMG) model-based genetic algorithm was used as a fitness function for fitting fluorescence spectrogram. The method was effective for solving the interference of fluorescent substance in the course of the multi-component quantitative analysis. As an example, the interference of endogenous fluorophores in different urines with the fluorescence of gatifloxacin (GFLX) was examined. A good eradicating efficacy was achieved by using the fitting fluorescence spectrogram. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the good linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity and GFLX concentration was obtained in the range of 0.06-3.5 microg x mL(-1) with a correlation coefficient of 0.9994. The detection limit and recovery were 0.02 microg x mL(-1) and 99.2%-109.4%, respectively, with the relative standard deviation from 1.3% to 2.7%. The proposed fitting fluorescence spectrometric method was rapid, simple and highly sensitive for the determination of GFLX in different human urine without preseparation. The recovery, selectivity, linearity, precision and accuracy of the method are convenient for routine assays and pharmacokinetic studies.

Staining brain slices with acetoxymethyl ester (AM) Ca dyes is a straightforward procedure to load multiple cells, and Fluo-4 is a commonly used high-affinity indicator due to its very large dynamic range. It has been shown that this dye preferentially stains glial cells, providing slow and large Ca transients, but it is questionable whether and at which temporal resolution it can also report Ca transients from neuronal cells. Here, by electrically stimulating mouse hippocampal slices, we resolved fast neuronal signals corresponding to 1%-3% maximal fluorescence changes.

Sub-cellular organelle anomalies are frequently observed in diseases such as cancer. Early and precise diagnosis of these alterations can be crucial for patient outcomes. However, current diagnostic tools using conventional organic dyes or metal quantum dots face limitations, including poor biocompatibility, stringent storage conditions, limited solubility in aqueous media, and slow staining speeds.

This study investigated the progressive structural changes of fish gelatin in thermally reversible (TR) and irreversible (TI) states, formed through microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) cross-linking during in vitro gastric digestion. The focus was on dynamic structural changes and gastric digestion characteristics. Free amino content and SDS-PAGE analyses showed that both TR and TI groups were hydrolyzed into smaller fragments by pepsin during digestion.

Article Synopsis
- Coal-based humic acid residue (HAS) has potential as a nutrient-rich material for adsorbing harmful substances like mercury (Hg), and a modified version (N-HAS) was created to enhance its adsorption properties.
- N-HAS demonstrated a strong capacity for Hg removal, with a maximum adsorption of 124.20 mg/g and stable performance over multiple cycles, effectively lowering Hg levels in both maize and contaminated soil.
- The study highlighted that using N-HAS led to significant reductions in Hg content in maize kernels (up to 72.09%) and soil (up to 82.80%), with optimal results observed at an application rate of 0.4 kg/m.
