AI Article Synopsis

  • - Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is a strong oxidizer, commonly found in high concentrations in the chemical industry and at 3% in household disinfectants.
  • - Severe toxicity can occur with 35% concentrations of HO, leading to corrosive damage in the body if ingested.
  • - This text discusses a rare case of a 3-day-old male who accidentally ingested HO, marking the first reported instance of hydrogen peroxide ingestion in a newborn.

Article Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (HO is an oxidizing agent. High concentrations of HO are used in the chemical industry, and 3% concentrations are used in household disinfectants. Severe HO toxicity occurs with a 35% concentration. After poisoning with HO, corrosive damage occurs. We describe a 3-day-old male who ingested HO accidentally and was treated with supportive care. Hydrogen peroxide intoxication usually occurs in adults accidentally. This is the first report of a newborn case of HO ingestion.

The production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) has emerged as a more environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional anthraquinone method. Although oxidized carbon catalysts have intensive developed due to their high selectivity and activity, the yield and conversion rate of H2O2 under high overpotential still limited. The produced H2O2 was rapidly consumed by the increased intensity of H2O2 reduction, which could ascribe to decomposition of peroxide radicals under high voltage in the carbon catalyst.

Effective delivery of therapeutic agents for solid tumour treatment is impeded by multiple obstacles, such as aberrant interstitial fluid pressure and high density of the extracellular matrix, which causes impaired penetration to deep avascular tumour tissue that exists in a hypoxic immune cold environment. Only limited tumoricidal effects have been achieved with traditional nanomedicine due to its inefficient penetration and the multiple resistant effects that exist in the tumour microenvironment. Herein, a new chemo-dynamic immunotherapy (CDIT) is proposed based on a transcytosis tumour oxygenator (MnP) with effective chemo-dynamic effects.

Purpose: Chronic jet lag (CJL) is known to disrupt circadian rhythms, which regulate various physiological processes, including ocular surface homeostasis. However, the specific effects of CJL on lacrimal gland function and the underlying cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Methods: A CJL model was established using C57BL/6J mice.

Creatinine clearance is used to reflect the glomerular filtration rate to assess kidney function. Creatinine degradation-related enzymes have been used for creatinine detection in clinical medicine. The mixture of spores encapsulating either creatininase or creatinase or sarcosine oxidase could mediate a three-step reaction to produce hydrogen peroxide from creatinine.

Developing low-cost self-service portable sensors to detect viruses is an important step in combating the spread of viral outbreaks. Here, we describe the development of an aptamer-free paper-based molecularly imprinted sensor for the instrument-free detection of influenza virus A (H5N1). In this sensor, Whatman paper loaded with FeO nanoparticles (WP@FeO) was prepared as a substrate upon which silicon imprinting occurred in the presence of the template virus H5N1.
