Nitrite is a carcinogenic substance in food. Excessive consumption of nitrite severely endangers human health. However, rapid and accurate quantification of nitrite by a simple tool is still very challenging. In this work, we designed a practical sensing platform based on 8-(o-phenylenediamine)-boron dipyrromethene (BDP-OPD) to determine nitrite in food. BDP-OPD can take a specific diazotization-cyclization cascade reaction with nitrite to form boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY), giving rise to a remarkable chromogenic reaction along with high contrast fluorescence turn-on response towards nitrite. BDP-OPD has high sensitivity, rapid response, and good selectivity. Furthermore, a portable smartphone-based fluorescence device integrated with a self-programmed Python program was fabricated, which has been successfully used to determine nitrite in food with the advantages of rapid response, low cost, ease of operation, portability, and satisfactory recoveries (92-112%). The good sensing performance rendered BDP-OPD a promising fluorescence platform for on-site visual detection of nitrite.

Background: In previous studies, we found that quetiapine activates the AKT signaling which further inhibits the action of GSK3β. Quetiapine has been reported to possess neuroprotective potential in schizophrenia and other neurodegenerative models.

Background: Following the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) discovery of microglia-specific genes, particularly Trem-2, SHIP-1, and CD33, significantly associated with higher Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, the microglia TREM2 pathway has become central for regulating amyloid load, tissue damage, and limiting its spread. These discoveries have opened up the exciting possibility of therapeutic microglia TREM2 manipulation in AD. To date, however, several elements of TREM2 signaling remain unknown, ranging from the temporal activation pattern and receptor-ligand binding to modulation of the brain microenvironment.

Background: Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is categorized as a complicated disorder of extreme fatigue lasting for at least six months without any underlying medical problem and currently has no concrete treatment regimen. This is associated with neurological complications like brain fog, insomnia, psychiatric disturbances and above all neuroinflammation. A chronic forced swim test model of CFS has been established since more than a decade at our laboratory.

Background: Impaired interstitial fluid drainage in the brain is indicated by the presence of perivascular β-amyloid (Aβ) deposits and is attributed to alterations in contractility and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The brain microvasculature in Alzheimer disease (AD) accumulates amyloid-forming amylin secreted from the pancreas. Here, we tested the hypothesis that cerebrovascular amylin deposits perturbs cerebral Aβ efflux by impairing cerebral vasodilation.

The endogenous reduction of nitrite to nitrosyl is drawing increasing attention as a protective mechanism against hypoxic injury in mammalian physiology and as an alternative source of NO, which is involved in a wide variety of biological activities. Thus, chemical mechanisms for this transformation, which are mediated by metallo proteins, are of considerable interest. The study described here examines the reactions of the biomimetic models Co(TTP)(NO) (TTP = meso-tetratolylporphyrinato dianion) and Mn(TPP)(ONO) (TPP = meso-tetraphenyl-porphyrinato dianion) in sublimated solid films with hydrogen sulfide (HS) and with ethanethiol (EtSH) at various temperatures from 77 K to room temperature using in situ infrared and optical spectroscopy.
