Two novel fluorescent probes, namely, 3-(2,4-dinitrophenoxy)-2-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-4-chromen-4-one (P1) and 3-(2,4-dinitrophenoxy)-2-(pyren-1-yl)-4-chromen-4-one (P2), were designed and synthesized here. The probes (P1 and P2) were found to be highly selective and sensitive toward hydrogen sulfide (HS) in the presence of a wide range of anions. The new probes (P1 and P2) were fully characterized by analytical, NMR spectroscopy (H and C), and ESI mass spectrometry. The sensing capability of chemodosimeters (P1 and P2) toward HS was confirmed by fluorescence studies. The 'turn-on' fluorescence was used to calculate the detection limit of probes (LOD), which were found to be 2.4 and 1.2 μM for P1 and P2, respectively. Moreover, the probes were tested for their cytotoxicity against HeLa cells using the MTT assay and found to be non-cytotoxic in nature; hence, the probes P1 and P2 were successfully utilized to visualize HS in the living cells.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients (mean age 62 years) diagnosed with cT1-2 N0 underwent SLNB with Tc, lymphoscintigraphy/SPECT-CT, and gamma probe detection with intraoperative histological examination of the resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Elective neck dissection was performed during the same surgical procedure of primary tumor resection when malignant deposits were detected microscopically.

Free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer along with cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, pulmonary and inflammatory disorders. Further, the relationship between oxidative stress and disease is distinctively established. Clinical trials using anti-oxidants for the prevention of disease progression have indicated some beneficial effects.

The rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-positive bacteria threatens the effectiveness of current antibiotic therapies. However, the development of new antibiotics has stagnated in recent years, highlighted the critical need for the discovery of innovative antimicrobial agents. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of naphthoquinones derived from Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst (ADNs) and elucidate their underlying mechanisms.

The atomic force microscope (AFM) image will be inclined and bent due to the tilt angle between the probe and the sample surface. When the least squares fitting method is used to correct the horizontal distortion of the AFM image, the shape structure that is lower or higher than the sample base will affect the final fitting correction result. In view of the limitations of existing methods and the diversity of AFM images, an AFM image level distortion correction method based on automatic feature marking is proposed.

SnO thin films were deposited on Si substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique, and the effects of different sputtering power (60-90 W) on the structural, surface morphological, and electrical properties of the film were investigated with XRD, Raman, AFM, SEM, and fore point probe. The deposited SnO film at lower RF was amorphous, while well-defined intense XRD signals at higher RF power indicated significant improvement in crystalline nature. E and A vibrating modes related to SnO were clearly observed in the Raman spectra.
