Labeling materials with special functional groups are very valuable for the creation of novel probes. Hence, a novel fluorescent probe was constructed by conjugating 4-butyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (BTSC) with carbon dots (CDs). The CDs labeled by BTSC (BTSC-CDs) displayed a strong capability for recognition of Cu and Cu could quench the emission of BTSC-CDs significantly. The fluorescence quenching was proved to be a static quenching which was resulted from the interaction between BTSC-CDs and Cu to form a ground-state BTSC-CDs/Cucomplex, and the fluorescence intensities showed a good linear correlation with Cu concentrations in the range of 0.20-30 μM. What is more important, by adding glyphosate into the sensor system of BTSC-CDs/Cu the fluorescence of the probe turned on again owing to the stronger chelating between glyphosate and Cu than between BTSC-CDs and Cu. This could realize the specific detection of glyphosate and the limit of detection was low to 0.27 μM. Detecting glyphosate using the complex BTSC-CDs/Cu system in actual samples with satisfactory outcomes indicated that a novel fluorescent probe for Cu and subsequent glyphosate detections has been provided.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is an important complication in the treatment of heart failure, and its treatment has not made satisfactory progress. Nitroxyl (HNO) showed protective effects on the heart failure, however, the effect and underlying mechanism of HNO on MIRI remain largely unclear.

Methods: MIRI model in this study was established to induce H9C2 cell injury through hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro.

Background: Gastric cancer poses a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Improved visualization of tumor margins and lymph node metastases with tumor-specific fluorescent markers could improve outcomes.

Methods: To establish orthotopic models of gastric cancer, one million cells of the human gastric cancer cell line, MKN45, were suspended in 50 μl of equal parts PBS and Matrigel and injected into the nude mouse stomach with a 29-gauge needle.

Ginkgolide B (GB) is a bioactive constituent found in Ginkgo biloba leaves that has been long recognized as a protective agent against many neurological disorders. Our study aimed to examine the effect of GB in an in vitro Parkinson's disease (PD) model and to investigate its neuroprotective mechanism as a primary objective. SK-N-SH cells were challenged with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP) to act as a PD-like model of neuronal damage.

Fluorescence polarization (FP) is a useful technique to study the interactions between carbohydrates and proteins in solution, by using standard equipment and minimal sample consumption. Here, we will review the most recent FP-based approaches in this field, including the study of carbohydrate-lectin, carbohydrate-enzyme and glycosaminoglycan-protein interactions. Advantages and limitations of this methodology will be discussed.
