Antibiotic residues in milk pose public health risks by promoting antimicrobial resistance, necessitating advanced detection methods. This study presents a dual-color "turn-on" aptasensor for simultaneous detection of ampicillin (AMP) and oxytetracycline (OTC). Aptamer-functionalized silica nanoparticles doped with Rhodamine B isothiocyanate (apt-RBITC@SiO) and Alexa Fluor 488 (apt-AF488@SiO) serve as fluorescence probes, while multicore iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs) act as capture probes. The fluorescence intensities at 519 nm (green) and 573 nm (red) correspond to OTC and AMP concentrations, with limits of detection (LODs) of 0.13 ng/mL and 0.17 ng/mL, respectively. Detection ranges span 0.5-100 ng/mL. The sensor demonstrated recovery rates of 94.16%-103.22 % for OTC and 98.33%-101.62 % for AMP in milk, with low relative standard deviations (RSD). Compared to ELISA, the developed aptasensor exhibits superior sensitivity and lower detection limits, making it a highly effective tool for antibiotic residue detection. This aptasensor provides a sensitive, selective, and efficient method for detecting antibiotic residues in milk, offering significant potential for food safety monitoring.

Objectives: The flexural strength and elastic modulus of rapidly prototyped denture base materials are affected by numerous factors including reinforcement with nanoparticles (NPs) and post-curing duration (PCD), though the effect of these two factors together has been overlooked. The present study tested the effect of nanodiamonds (NDs) or silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SNPs) with various PCDs on the flexural strength and elastic modulus of rapidly prototyped denture base materials.
Methods: To measure the flexural strength and elastic modulus, bar-shaped specimens (64 × 10 × 3.

Objectives: The effects of different interface treatments on the interfacial bonding of inorganic fillers in composite resins and the overall performance of the composite resins were investigated.
Methods: Synthetic mussel derivatives (N-3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl methacrylamide, DMA) were used as primers to treat the inorganic filler bonding interfaces, and the effects of different concentrations of DMA on the shear strength of the bonding interface were tested. Silica nanoparticles were coated on the surface of the filler via the sol-gel growing, and the mechanical properties and aging resistance of the composite resin were tested.

Nanomaterial-mediated macrophage immune response plays a crucial role in bone regeneration microenvironment. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles are widely used as nano-drug carriers, imaging agents, and bioactivity regulators for potential tissue regeneration. It is known that surface topography features of nanomaterials play an important regulatory role in immune response.
