Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are widely used in hospitals, animal husbandry and aquaculture for the treatment of infectious diseases. However, overuse of FQs poses a potential threat to the environment and human. Detection of antibiotics is of great importance in various fields. In this paper, bright yellow fluorescence carbon dots (y-CDs) with quantum yield of 32% were synthesized via a simple and rapid microwave-assisted method using o-phenylenediamine and salicylic acid as raw materials. The fluorescence properties of y-CDs varied under different excitation wavelengths. It is discovered that the excitation wavelength is a critical factor to develop a dual functional fluorescence probe. Under selected excitation wavelength (355 nm), y-CDs can realize dual detection of norfloxacin (NOR) and gatifloxacin (GAT) with good selectivity and high sensitivity in a "turn-on" mode. The detection limits of NOR and GAT are 0.0881 µM and 0.0125 µM, respectively. y-CDs prove practical application in the detection of NOR and GAT in milk and egg samples.

Background: Protein misfolding is a key pathological phenomenon driving neurodegenerative diseases that affect millions of people. Visualizing this misfolding process with smart imaging probes would greatly facilitate early diagnosis, etiology elucidation, disease progression monitoring, and drug discovery of neurodegeneration. Although numerous probes have been reported, several unmet needs still exist.

One-Pot Domino Catalysis to Construct Alkyl/Aryl Pyrroles Initiated by Pd-TMM Annulation of Unactivated Imines.

China Guangxi Key Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Precision Detection and Screening, Guangxi Key Laboratory of Bioactive Molecules Research and Evaluation, and Key Laboratory of Micro-Nanoscale Bioanalysis and Drug Screening of Guangxi Education Department, Pharmaceutical College, Guangxi Medical University, Nanning 530021, China.

Herein, a one-pot domino catalyzed three-component process is described, which is initiated by a palladium/zinc cooperatively catalyzed cycloaddition between trimethylenemethane (TMM) and unactivated alkyl/aryl imines, followed by one-pot isomerization and Zn(OTf)-catalyzed DDQ oxidation, furnishing valuable substituted pyrroles. We disclose that the palladium/zinc cooperative catalysis affords a dual-Zn(OTf)-stabilized azapalladacycle, wherein the Pd-N bond is polarized by Zn(OTf), facilitating a unique outer-sphere allylic amination. Moreover, subsequent DDQ dehydrogenation can be feasibly promoted by zinc catalysis.

Objective: In-depth investigation of the diagnostic performance of dual-energy CT (DECT) virtual non-calcium (VNCa) technique for sacroiliac joint bone marrow edema (BME) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS).

Methods: A total of 42 patients with AS)who underwent sacroiliac joint MRI and DECT scans on the same day at our Rheumatology and Immunology Department between August 2022 and June 2023 were selected. Using MRI as the reference standard, the presence of BME on the iliac and sacral surfaces was evaluated, resulting in the categorization of patients into BME-positive and BME-negative groups.

Department of General Surgery of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck, The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, No.26, Erheng Road, Yuancun, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, 510655, China.

Purpose: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are pivotal immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME), exhibiting dual roles across various cancer types. Depending on the context, TAMs can either suppress tumor progression and weaken drug sensitivity or facilitate tumor growth and drive therapeutic resistance. This study explores whether targeting TAMs can suppress the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and improve the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Monitoring wound infection and providing appropriate treatment are crucial for achieving favorable outcomes. However, the time-consuming nature of laboratory culture tests may delay timely intervention. To tackle this challenge, a simple yet effective HDG hydrogel, composed of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), dopamine, and GelMA polymer, is developed for the ultrafast detection and treatment of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) infections.
