Triplet-triplet (T-T) absorption spectroscopy has been used successfully as a molecular ruler to understand the actual release process of sanguinarine as a drug molecule from a gold nanoparticle surface in the presence of cell components, that is, DNA and chromatin. The obtained results have been verified by fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and a plausible explanation has been put forward to describe the underestimation and overestimation of the percentage (%) of the release of drug molecules measured by fluorescence- and SERS-based techniques, respectively, over the highlighted T-T absorption spectroscopy. Because of the intrinsic nature of absorption, the reported T-T absorption spectroscopic assay overpowers fluorescence- and SERS-based assays, which are limited by the long-range interaction and nonlinear dependence of the concentration of analytes, respectively.

The subject of this study is the interaction between 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrin (TSPP), a potential photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy, and human serum albumin (HSA), a crucial protein in the body. The main objective was to investigate the binding mechanisms, structural changes, and potential implications of these interactions for drug delivery and therapeutic applications. Spectroscopic techniques and computational methods were employed to investigate the mechanism and effects of TSPP binding by HSA.

Article Synopsis
- 2D materials, such as transition metal-dichalcogenides like MoS, have gained significant attention for their unique layered structures, which lead to distinct physicochemical properties when isolated as single layers compared to their bulk forms.
- The ability to stack and twist these layers creates new phenomena, such as Moiré patterns, while misfit layer compounds (MLCs) introduce unconventional lattice structures that allow for the formation of nanotubes.
- The stability and behavior of these nanostructures, particularly under elevated temperatures, are important aspects that remain underexplored, prompting studies using advanced techniques like electron microscopy and synchrotron-based X-ray methods to understand their decomposition and recrystallization processes.
Effect of MDR1 C3435T and CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the outcome of Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment in children with gastritis and peptic ulcer, Vietnam.

Background: Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility in Vietnamese children currently get low efficiency. There are causes of treatment failure, among host genetic factors namely MDR1 C3435T and CYP2C19 affect the absorption and metabolism of proton pump inhibitors - a crucial component of eradication therapy. The study aimed to investigate the effect of MDR1 C3435T and CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the cure rate.
