To detect lead ions using electrochemical voltammetric analysis, Infrared Photo-Diode Electrode (IPDE) was applied via cyclic and square wave stripping voltammetry. Lead ions were deposited at 0.5 V (versus Ag/AgCl) accumulation potential. Instrumental measurements systems were made based on a simple and compact detection system. The stripping voltammetric and cyclic voltammetric optimal parameters were searched. The results yielded a cyclic range of 40∼240 mgl Pb(II) and a square wave stripping working range of 0.5∼5.00 mgl Pb(II). The relative standard deviation at 2 and 4 mgl Pb(II) was 0.04% and 0.02% (n = 15), respectively, using the stripping voltammetric conditions. The detection limit was found to be 0.05 mgl with a 40 sec preconcentration time. Analytical interference ions were also evaluated. The proposed method was applied to determine lead ions in various samples.

Contained arsenic (As) and unsafe brackish groundwater irrigation can lead to serious As pollution and increase the ecological risk in cultivated soils. However, little is known about how Fe oxides and microbes affect As migration during soil irrigation processes involving arsenic-contaminated brackish groundwater. In this study, the samples (porewater and soil) were collected through the dynamic soil column experiments to explore the As migration process and its effect factors during soil irrigation.

Tin-based perovskite has emerged as an excellent luminescent material due to its non-toxicity and narrow bandgap compared to lead-based perovskite. However, its tin ions are easily oxidized by oxygen, which leads to increased vacancy defects and poor crystallinity, presenting a significant challenge in obtaining high-quality perovskite films. In this context, we introduced an approach by synergistically adding SnF and tin powder into the precursor solution to enhance the antioxidation of Sn ions.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of indirect-plasma-treated water (IPTW) in the preparation of hydrogels. Three commonly used natural, biodegradable polymers with the ability to form gels were selected: gelatin, carrageenan, and sodium alginate. The pH, gelling temperature, texture profile, swelling degree, and color of hydrogels were evaluated, and the polymers were subjected to Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Proton-translocating NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) catalyzes the oxidation of NADH by ubiquinone accompanied by the transmembrane transfer of four protons, thus contributing to the formation of a proton motive force () across the coupling membranes of mitochondria and bacteria, which drives ATP synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation. In recent years, great progress has been achieved in resolving complex I structure by means of X-ray crystallography and high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, which has led to the formulation of detailed hypotheses concerning the molecular mechanism of coupling of the redox reaction to vectorial proton translocation. To test and probe proposed mechanisms, a comprehensive study of complex I using other methods including molecular dynamics and a variety of biochemical studies such as kinetic and inhibitory analysis is required.

Primary aldosteronism is characterised by the excessive production of aldosterone, which is a key regulator of salt metabolism, and is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Studies have investigated the association between primary aldosteronism and genetic alterations, with pathogenic mutations being identified. This includes a glycine-to-arginine substitution at position 151 (G151R) of the G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium (K) channel 4 (GIRK4), which is encoded by the gene.
