The use of nonlinear optical Stokes ellipsometric (NOSE) microscopy for rapid discrimination of two polymorphic forms of the small molecule d-mannitol is presented. Fast (8 MHz) polarization modulated beam-scanning microscopy and a recently developed iterative, nonlinear least-squares fitting algorithm were combined to allow discrimination of orthorhombic and monoclinic crystal structures of d-mannitol with data acquisition times of <7 s per field of view with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of ∼300. Discrimination between polymorphic forms within the 99.99% confidence interval was achieved by standard statistical tests of the recovered probability density functions for the measured observables following two class linear discriminant analysis. These measurements target bottlenecks in small-volume, high-throughput solid form screening experiments for polymorph discovery in the development of emerging active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids are significant phyto-nutraceuticals with a bitter flavor. However, due to their complex structures, the sensing and identification of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids is challenging. Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids are commonly extracted from plants such as Coptidis Rhizoma (CR), while the adulteration and dyeing of CR are prevalent.

Early detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is crucial for eliminating this silent killer, especially in resource-limited settings. HCV core antigen (HCVcAg) represents a promising alternative to the current "gold standard" HCV RNA assays as an active viremia biomarker. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical magneto-immunosensor for the HCVcAg was developed.

Neural correlates of perceptual plasticity in the auditory midbrain and thalamus.

J Neurosci

January 2025

Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Program, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, 20742.

Hearing is an active process in which listeners must detect and identify sounds, segregate and discriminate stimulus features, and extract their behavioral relevance. Adaptive changes in sound detection can emerge rapidly, during sudden shifts in acoustic or environmental context, or more slowly as a result of practice. Although we know that context- and learning-dependent changes in the sensitivity of auditory cortical (ACX) neurons support many aspects of perceptual plasticity, the contribution of subcortical auditory regions to this process is less understood.

With development of modern food industry, plant-based milk products are widely used to replace dairy products to cook different kinds of food. Due to different origins, it is necessary to assess the nutrition difference between dairy and plant-based milk products. Phospholipids and unsaturated fatty acids, as the important nutrients in cream and butter, were closely related to body development and health.

Multi-Omics Research on Angina Pectoris: A Novel Perspective.

Aging Dis

Department of Psycho-cardiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Angina pectoris (AP), a clinical syndrome characterized by paroxysmal chest pain, is caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries and sudden temporary myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Long-term AP typically induces other cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, posing a serious threat to patient safety. However, AP's complex pathological mechanisms and developmental processes introduce significant challenges in the rapid diagnosis and accurate treatment of its different subtypes, including stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and variant angina pectoris (VAP).
