The concentrations of eight heavy metals, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb, were analyzed to explore the environmental pollution characteristics, ecological risk levels, and sources of heavy metals in the surface sediments of Luoyuan Bay in Fujian Province. The results indicated that the mean concentrations of V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb were 110.44, 97.76, 17.35, 41.99, 36.78, 137.26, 0.09, and 35.81 mg⋅kg, respectively. The mean concentrations of Cr, Cu, and Zn exceeded the first category of the marine sediment quality standards, indicating a moderate regional comprehensive potential ecological hazard level. Due to variable hydrodynamic conditions, high concentrations of heavy metals were observed in the north and low concentrations were observed in the south, with high values generally recorded near steel plants and shipyard docks. Correlation and principal component analyses revealed that the V, Al, Co, Ni, and Pb originated from the weathering and erosion of rocks, and industrial wastewater discharge. Contrastingly, Cu, Zn, Cr, and Cd were mainly associated with the transportation and repair of ships, and marine aquaculture activities.

Deficiency or excess of mineral elements in the environment is a primary factor limiting crop yields and nutritional quality. Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is an important aquatic crop in Asia, but the mechanism for accumulating mineral nutrients and coping with nutrient deficiency/excess is still largely unknown. Here, we identified NnMTP10, a member of the cation diffusion facilitator family, by screening the cDNA library of lotus.

A new methodology is presented for the rapid, specific, and sensitive detection of irinotecan (CPT-11), a chemotherapeutic agent utilized in the treatment of cancer, along with its metabolically active derivative, SN-38, via laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS). The method includes the detection of camptothecin (CPT), which can be utilized as an internal standard for the quantitative assessment of both CPT-11 and SN-38 in mouse serum. The approach utilizes a plasmonic two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus nanosheet (BPN)-gold nanomatrix (BP@Au) in LDI MS.

A novel analytical method was designed and developed that exhibited ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), fluorescence (FL), and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) signals for straightforward and comprehensive determination of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) using polyethylenimine-functionalized silver nanoparticles (PEI-Ag NPs). Through a facile one-step experiment, and NaOH assisted, in an aqueous solution of 100 ℃ for 40 min PEI reacted with AgNO to generate PEI-Ag NPs with a yellow color and weak blue fluorescence. Interestingly, phenylacetaldehyde (PAA), a specific product of MAO-B, causes significant enhancement of the three optical signals of UV-Vis, FL, and RRS.

The Ichkeul-Bizerte Lagoon Complex (IBLC), a critical ecosystem for local biodiversity, faces a pressing threat due to climate change and severe pollution. Despite past conservation efforts, pollution persists, particularly in the Bizerte Lagoon. This study investigated the impact of water dynamics and climatic conditions on heavy metal contamination in the IBLC's sediments.
