The distribution of 110mAg in the elution fractions obtained from gel filtration (Sephadex G-75) of the supernatants of rat liver homogenates was studied. 110mAgNO3 was administered i.v. at the doses 0.183 and 0.912 mg Ag+ . kg-1 . b . wt.and rats were killed 30 min after the administration. Differential centrifugation of the homogenates was performed to determine 110mAg+ distribution in subcellular structures of hepatocytes. The effect of CdCl2 and AgNO3 pretreatment (2 s.c. injections of 2.5 mg . kg-1 during 48 h) was investigated and results were compared with those obtained without pretreatment. It was found that AgNO3 pretreatment does not affect 110mAg+ distribution in the elution fractions and the major part of the metal is concentrated in the high-molecular-weight protein fraction. On contrary, after CdCl2 pretreatment almost all 110mAg+ is bound in the metallothionein (MT) fraction. Differential centrifugation revealed the main portion of the metal in nuclei and cell membranes and only small amount in lysosomal supernatant. After CdCl2 pretreatment the content of 110mAg+ in supernatant considerably increases. Results confirm the affinity of silver to MT and moreover show that this metal probably does not significantly induce the MT synthesis in the liver tissue.

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has been extensively utilized in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) due to its rapid detection speed, high sensitivity and straightforward sample pretreatment. In this study, Au/AgNPs were obtained through the reduction of AgNO on the surface of AuNPs. Subsequently, Au/AgNPs were embedded into the tetrahedral lattice of ZIF-8 MOFs, resulting in the formation of Au/Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposites.

The advancement in performance in the domain of flexible wearable strain sensors has become increasingly significant due to extensive research on laser-induced graphene (LIG). An innovative doping modification technique is required owing to the limited progress achieved by adjusting the laser parameters to enhance the LIG's performance. By pre-treating with AgNO, we successfully manufactured LIG with a uniform dispersion of silver nanoparticles across its surface.

Article Synopsis
- * A new pretreatment method was developed for δO analysis of sediment inorganic phosphorus, improving on traditional techniques by using Zr-oxide gels, which led to simpler processing and high phosphorus recovery rates (88-104%).
- * The study demonstrated that this new δO pretreatment method can eliminate impurities effectively, yielding high-purity AgPO and providing insights that could enhance our understanding of phosphorus cycling in aquatic ecosystems globally.

This work focuses on a systematic method to produce Ag, Cu, and Ag/Cu metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) in situ assisted with ultrasound on cellulose paper. By tuning the concentration of AgNO and CuSO salt precursors and ultrasound time, combined with a fixed concentration of ascorbic acid (AA) as a reducing agent, it was possible to control the size, morphology, and polydispersity of the resulting MNPs on cellulose papers. Notably, high yield and low polydispersity of MNPs and bimetallic nanoparticles are achieved by increasing the sonication time on paper samples pre-treated with salt precursors before reduction with AA.
