Surface plasmon-enhanced vibrational spectroscopy has been demonstrated to be an important highly sensitive diagnostic technique, but its enhanced mechanism is yet to be explored. In this study, we couple femtosecond sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) with surface plasmon generated by the excitation of localized gold nanorods/nanoparticles and investigate the plasmonically enhanced factors (EFs) of SFG signals from poly(methyl methacrylate) films. Through monitoring the SFG intensity of carbonyl and ester methyl groups, we have established a correlation between EFs and the coupling of localized surface plasmon resonance with SFG and visible beams. It is found that the total enhanced factor is approximately proportional to the square of an enhanced factor of the SFG electromagnetic field and the fourth power of the enhanced factor of the visible electromagnetic field. The local field effect is roughly expressed to be the square of an enhanced factor of the visible electromagnetic field. This finding will help to guide the experimental design of plasmon-enhanced SFG to drastically improve the detection sensitivity and thus provide greater insight into the ultrafast dynamics near plasmonic surfaces.

The protozoan parasite Neospora caninum is an important cause of abortion in cattle. Infection occurs horizontally by ingestion of oocysts shed by canids or vertically, from an infected dam to the foetus, and may result in abortion, stillbirth, or the birth of subclinically infected offspring. We estimated the occurrence of N.

Red blood cells (RBCs) serve as natural transporters and can be modified to enhance the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a protein cargo. Affinity targeting of Factor IX (FIX) to the RBC membrane is a promising approach to improve the (pro)enzyme's pharmacokinetics. For RBC targeting, purified human FIX was conjugated to the anti-mouse glycophorin A monoclonal antibody Ter119.

Background: Research has shown that engaging in a range of healthy lifestyles or behavioral factors can help reduce the risk of developing dementia. Improved knowledge of modifiable risk factors for dementia may help engage people to reduce their risk, with beneficial impacts on individual and public health. Moreover, many guidelines emphasize the importance of providing education and web-based resources for dementia prevention.

Antibodies to β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) cause thrombosis in antiphospholipid syndrome, however the role of β2GPI in coagulation in vivo is not understood. To address this issue, we developed β2GPI-deficient mice (Apoh-/-) by deleting exon 2 and 3 of Apoh using CRISPR/Cas9 and compared the development of thrombosis in wild-type (WT) and Apoh-/- mice using rose bengal and FeCl3-induced carotid thrombosis, laser-induced cremaster arteriolar injury, and inferior vena cava (IVC) stasis models. We also compared tail bleeding times and activation of platelets from WT and Apoh-/- mice in the absence and presence of β2GPI.
