The aim of this work was the analysis of singlet oxygen and the ozone effect on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity of rat organs and blood. Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group (without any manipulations; n = 10) and four main groups (n = 10 in each group) with inhalations by dry, moisture and oil-processed ozone-oxygen mixture (ozone concentration 60 micro g/l) or singlet oxygen, respectively. Activity of pro- and antioxidant systems was estimated in blood and tissues (lungs, heart, liver and kidney) by inducing biochemiluminescence. Singlet oxygen was shown to exert the "mildest" effect with stimulation of blood antioxidant potential and saving tissue oxidative potential without hyperactivation of lipid peroxidation. Use of moistened ozone-oxygen mixture caused moderate stimulating action on antioxidant re serves of blood and tissues. Dry ozone-oxygen mixture clearly decreased lipid peroxidation intensity.

This study presents a novel approach to water contamination remediation by developing cobalt-doped carbon nanofiber films using electrospun ZIF-67 precursors, aiming to degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and other antibiotics. This method uniquely combines the advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and electrospinning to enhance catalytic performance, demonstrating significant innovation in environmental catalysis. The research systematically evaluated the impact of various factors on the catalytic activity of carbonized PAN@ZIF-67 films (CPZF), including carbonization temperature, ZIF-67 content, and PMS dosage.

Ferrous oxalate (FeCO)-based composite has been recognized as an eminent catalyst for Cr(III)-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (Cr(III)-EDTA) decomplexation. However, their practical application has been limited by low cycling capacity and an ambiguous mechanism. In this research, a composite catalyst consisting of biotite loaded with nano FeCO (CFS90) was prepared directly from iron-containing silicate tailing.

Exploring Gluconamide-Modified Silica Nanoparticles of Different Sizes as Effective Carriers for Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a consequence of the ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to develop resistance against conventional antibiotics, hampering the treatment of common infections, is recognized as one of the most imperative health threats of this century. Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a promising alternative strategy, utilizing photosensitizers activated by light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that kill pathogens without inducing resistance. In this work, we synthesized silica nanoparticles (NPs) of different sizes (20 nm, 80 nm, and 250 nm) functionalized with the photosensitizer Rose Bengal (RB) and a gluconamide ligand, which targets Gram-negative bacteria, to assess their potential in aPDT.

: This study explores the generation of singlet oxygen (SO) through methylene blue (MB) activation as a metabolic intervention for ovarian cancer. We aimed to examine the role of SO in modulating mitochondrial function, cellular metabolism, and proliferation in ovarian cancer cell lines compared to control cells. : The study utilized two ovarian cancer cell lines, OV1369-R2 and TOV1369, along with ARPE-19 control cells.

The high abundance of acetone ((CH)C═O), which makes it a good candidate for oxygenated molecules, and the high reactivity of oxygen atoms in the first excited state O(D) are two well-known facts in the chemistry of the atmosphere. In this research, we prove that the singlet oxygen and acetone system is capable of proceeding through multiwell multipath reactions, leading to the production of several organic aerosols. Hence, the nature of species released by the (CH)C═O + O(D) reaction to air can be clarified by profound attention to the possible routes.
