The objective of the study is, for the first time, to construct a new near infrared (NIR) fluorophore, spectrophotometric, colorimetric, ratiometric, and turn-on probe (CSME) based on chromenylium cyanine platform decorated with methionine biomolecule to provide an efficient solution for critical shortcoming to be encountered for analysis of hazardous Hg in environment and living cell. The CSME structure and its interaction with Hg ion were evaluated by NMR, FTIR, MS, UV-Vis and fluorescence methods as well as Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The none fluorescence CSME having spirolactam ring only interacted with Hg in aqueous solution including competing ions. This interaction caused the fluorescence CSME with opened spirolactam form which exhibited spectral and colorimetric changes in the NIR region. The probe based on UV-Vis and fluorescence techniques respond in 90 s, has wide linear ranges (for UV-Vis: 6.29 × 10 - 1.86 × 10 M; for fluorescence: 9.49 × 10 - 1.13 × 10 M), and has a lower Limit of Detection (LOD) value (for fluorescence: 4.93 × 10 M, 0.99 ng/mL) than the value predicted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) organization. Hg analysis was performed in drinking and tap water with low Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) values and high recovery. Smartphone and living cell applications were successfully performed for colorimetric sensing Hg in real samples and 3T3 cells, respectively.

The tick fauna of El Salvador is currently represented by 10 species of hard ticks (family Ixodidae) and 2 species of soft ticks (family Argasidae). This study aimed to report new and additional records of ticks and rickettsiae in El Salvador. During 2019-2021, a total of 216 specimens of ticks were collected from eight host species (domestic and wild animals) and in the environment among 15 geographic localities of El Salvador.

Introduction: The ability to detect pathogenic bacteria before the onsets of severe respiratory symptoms and to differentiate bacterial infection allows to improve patient-tailored treatment leading to a significant reduction in illness severity, comorbidity as well as antibiotic resistance. As such, this study refines the application of the non-invasive Secondary Electrospray Ionization-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (SESI-HRMS) methodology for real-time and early detection of human respiratory bacterial pathogens in the respiratory tract of a mouse infection model.
Methods: A real-time analysis of changes in volatile metabolites excreted by mice undergoing a lung infection by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae were evaluated using a SESI-HRMS instrument.
A happy place to be in: how beliefs about living places influence depression in Chinese international student returnees.

Background: The mental health of Chinese international student returnees is a critical concern impacting their well-being and successful reintegration into home society, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. This study examines how beliefs about changing living conditions, emigration intentions, and belief in fate influence depression levels among these returnees.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey collected data from 1,014 returnees through WeChat public groups.

Freshwater environments are biodiversity hotspots under multiple pressures, including pesticide exposure. S-metolachlor, a widely used herbicide, can induce genotoxic, cytotoxic and physiological effects in captive fish, but we have a limited understanding of the effects of exposure to S-metolachlor in free-living vertebrates. We carried out an original field experiment using integrative approaches across biological levels and temporal scales.

The phenomenon of population aging in China has evolved into an irreversible trend. The state places significant emphasis on the health-related initiatives for the elderly and has implemented pertinent policies. This study aims to identify the primary health issues affecting the elderly population in China, ascertain the key risk factors influencing their health, and offer a scientific foundation for the government to develop ongoing policies and strategies, as well as to allocate health resources efficiently.
