However, brain metastasis in TNBC at early stages often lacks noticeable symptoms, making it challenging to detect. Near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence microscopic imaging obtains long wavelength, which enables reduced scattering, high spatial resolution and minimal autofluorescence, it is also a favorable imaging method for tumor diagnosis. PbS@CdS quantum dots (QDs) are one of the popular NIR-II fluorescence nanoprobes for well brightness. In this study, NIR-II emissive PbS@CdS QDs were utilized and further encapsulated with thiol-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) (SH-PEG, MW = 5000) to form PbS@CdS@PEG QDs nanoparticles (NPs). The obtained PbS@CdS@PEG QDs NPs were then characterized and further studied in detail. The PbS@CdS@PEG QDs NPs had large absorption spectra, exhibited strong NIR-II fluorescence emission at approximately 1300nm, and possessed good NIR-II fluorescence properties. Then, the mice model of early-stage brain metastases of TNBC was established, and the PbS@CdS@PEG QDs NPs were injected into the tumor-bearing mice for NIR-II fluorescence microscopic bioimaging. The brain vessels and tumors of the living mice were detected with high spatial resolution under the NIR-II fluorescence microscopic imaging system with irradiation of 808nm laser. The tumor tissues were further restricted and prepared as thin slices. The NIR-II fluorescence signals were collected from the tumor slices with high spatial resolution and signal-to-background ratio (SBR). Thus, the PbS@CdS@PEG QDs NPs-assisted NIR-II fluorescence microscopic system can effectively achieve targeting brain metastases of TNBC imaging, offering a novel and promising approach for TNBC-specific diagnosis.展开更多

文摘Silver ion(Ag^(+))is a highly toxic metal ion,and its monitoring in water or food resources has become extraordinarily necessary within the scope of human health.In the light of the fact of Ag^(+)-induced folding structure of specific peptides,an unlabeled and highselectivity Ag^(+)assay is presented by means of intrinsic fluorescence of peptides.Under the quenching effect of gold nanoparticles(AuNPs),characteristic fluorescence of peptides could be considerably reduced by rapid modification.Along with the Ag adding,the fluorescence signals of peptide-AuNPs are largely enhanced by the behavior between peptides and Agt.This is basically involving the formation of 4-coordinated complexes,generating the changes of peptides in structure and fluorescence properties.Under this circumstance,the adverse influence of plenty of interfering ions is suppressed,including the toxic Hg^(2+),Pb^(2+).The results highlight that Ag ions could be selectively recognized as low as 2.4 nmol/L with a linear range of 5 to 800 nmol/L.In comparison with other programs,the given approach declares simplicity,sensitivity,and superior selectivity.Furthermore,the biosensor excels in the practical application in water samples(e.g.,lake,tap and drinking water)owing to its non-interference and on-site rapid determination.

文摘Up to now,“Turn-on”fluorescence sensor exhibits promising potential toward the detection of heavy metal ions,anions,drugs,organic dyes,DNA,pesticides,and other amino acids due to their simple,quick detection,and high sensitivity and selectivity.Herein,a novel fluorescence method of detecting Cr^(3+)in an aqueous solution was described based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer between rhodamine B(Rh B)and gold nanoparticles(Au NPs).The fluorescence of Rh B solution could be obviously quenched(“off”state)with the presence of citrate-stabilized Au NPs.However,upon addition of Cr^(3+)to Au NPs@Rh B system,the fluorescence of Au NPs was recovered owing to the strong interaction between Cr^(3+)and the specific groups on the surface of citrate-stabilized Au NPs,which will lead to the aggregation of Au NPs(“on”state).At this point,the color of the reaction solution turned to black.Under optimal conditions,the limit of detection(LOD)for Cr^(3+)was 0.95 n M(signal-to-noise ratio,S/N=3)with a linear range of 0.164 n M to 3.270μM.Furthermore,the proposed method exhibits excellent performances,such as rapid analysis,high sensitivity,extraordinary selectivity,easy preparation,switch-on fluorescence response,and non-time consuming.

文摘Introduction Early cancer detection represents a critical evolution in healthcare,addressing a significant pain point in cancer treatment:the tendency for diagnoses to occur at advanced stages.Traditionally,many cancers are not identified until they have progressed to late stages,where treatment options become limited,less effective,and more costly.This late detection results in poorer prognoses,higher mortality rates,and increased healthcare costs.Without early detection tools like Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization(FISH),these challenges persist,leaving patients with fewer opportunities for successful outcomes.

文摘Non-invasive measurement of the transmission matrix(TM)enables light focusing through scattering media using linear fluorescence signals.However,its speed is limited by the frame rate of the array detector.Although photodetectors can achieve fast light focusing,they can only detect single-point signals and are ineffective in scenarios that require speckle information,such as non-invasive focusing.

文摘Cancer is one of the main causes of death throughout the world.Radical elimination of tumor is crucial for a successful treatment.However,during cancer treatment,it is difficult to distinguish tumor boundaries with the naked eye and to accurately exterminate it.In this work,based on the overexpression of H2S in some tumors,an activatable second near-infrared(NIR-Ⅱ)theranostic agent(NRS)for distinguishing tumor tissues from normal tissues,guiding surgical resection and ablating tumor tissues by efficient photothermal therapy is proposed.This developed probe NRS can emit fluorescence in the range of 900-1100 nm and detect tumor tissues with H2S overexpression.Under the guidance of NIR-Ⅱ fluorescence imaging,the tumor margins can be delineated clearly with high signal-to-background ratio.In addition,with the help of NIR-Ⅱ fluorescence surgery navigation,tumors tissues can be precisely resected.More importantly,the probe displays a high photothermal conversion efficiency and can efficiently induce tumor cells apoptosis under 808 nm laser irradiation.By using the desirable attributes of NRS,the tumor tissues with H2S overexpression was successfully ablated.This work provides a new tool for the future precision eradicate tumors without recurrence,which may have translational potential in biological and clinical systems.
文摘Bay-site carboxyl functionalized perylene diimide derivative 1,7-COOH-PDI-C_(12)(PDI-COOH)was synthesized and distinct enhanced fluorescence was observed through combining with calcium ion(Ca^(2+))in THF/H_(2)O solution.The assembly and fluorescence behavior of PDI-COOH/Ca^(2+)were studied in detail by changing hydration state with different concentrations.Based on the differences in assembly morphology and stoichiometric ratios of PDICOOH/Ca^(2+),we proposed the fluorescence emission mechanism of PDI-COOH/Ca^(2+)in THF/H_(2)O and THF,respectively.This work reveals a novel strategy of aggregated state fluorescence enhancement and reminds us of the important role of water in molecular fluorescence emission and assembly.

文摘The presence of aluminum(Al^(3+))and fluoride(F^(−))ions in the environment can be harmful to ecosystems and human health,highlighting the need for accurate and efficient monitoring.In this paper,an innovative approach is presented that leverages the power of machine learning to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of fluorescence-based detection for sequential quantitative analysis of aluminum(Al^(3+))and fluoride(F^(−))ions in aqueous solutions.The proposed method involves the synthesis of sulfur-functionalized carbon dots(C-dots)as fluorescence probes,with fluorescence enhancement upon interaction with Al^(3+)ions,achieving a detection limit of 4.2 nmol/L.Subsequently,in the presence of F^(−)ions,fluorescence is quenched,with a detection limit of 47.6 nmol/L.The fingerprints of fluorescence images are extracted using a cross-platform computer vision library in Python,followed by data preprocessing.Subsequently,the fingerprint data is subjected to cluster analysis using the K-means model from machine learning,and the average Silhouette Coefficient indicates excellent model performance.Finally,a regression analysis based on the principal component analysis method is employed to achieve more precise quantitative analysis of aluminum and fluoride ions.The results demonstrate that the developed model excels in terms of accuracy and sensitivity.This groundbreaking model not only showcases exceptional performance but also addresses the urgent need for effective environmental monitoring and risk assessment,making it a valuable tool for safeguarding our ecosystems and public health.

文摘During the continuous casting process of high-Mn high-Al steels,various types of gases such as Ar need to escape through the top of the mold.In which,the behavior of bubbles traversing the liquid slag serves as a restrictive link,closely associated with viscosity and the thickness of liquid slag.In contrast to two-dimensional surface observation,three-dimensional(3D)analysis method can offer a more intuitive,accurate,and comprehensive information.Therefore,this study employs a 3D X-ray microscope(3D-XRM)to obtained spatial distribution and 3D morphological characteristics of residual bubbles in mold flux under different basicity of liquid slag,different temperatures,and different holding times.The results indicate that as basicity of slag increases from 0.52 to 1.03,temperature increases from 1423 to 1573 K,the viscosity of slag decreases,the floating rate of bubbles increases.In addition,when holding time increases from 10 to 30 s,the bubbles floating distance increases,and the volume fraction and average equivalent sphere diameter of the bubbles solidified in the mold flux gradually decreases.In one word,increasing the basicity,temperature,and holding time leading to an increase in the removal rate of bubbles especially for the large.These findings of bubbles escape behavior provide valuable insights into optimizing low basicity mold flux for high-Mn high-Al steels.

文摘Plants play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity.However,plant health is easily affected by environmental stresses.Hence,the rapid and precise monitoring of plant health is crucial for global food security and ecological balance.Currently,traditional detection strategies for monitoring plant health mainly rely on expensive equipment and complex operational procedures,which limit their widespread application.Fortunately,near-infrared(NIR)fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)techniques have been recently highlighted in plants.NIR fluorescence imaging holds the advantages of being non-invasive,high-resolution and real-time,which is suitable for rapid screening in large-scale scenarios.While SERS enables highly sensitive and specific detection of trace chemical substances within plant tissues.Therefore,the complementarity of NIR fluorescence and SERS modalities can provide more comprehensive and accurate information for plant disease diagnosis and growth status monitoring.This article summarizes these two modalities in plant applications,and discusses the advantages of multimodal NIR fluorescence/SERS for a better understanding of a plant’s response to stress,thereby improving the accuracy and sensitivity of detection.

文摘Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive and often fatal disease, especially since the brain metastasis of TNBC has been a particularly severe manifestation. However, brain metastasis in TNBC at early stages often lacks noticeable symptoms, making it challenging to detect. Near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence microscopic imaging obtains long wavelength, which enables reduced scattering, high spatial resolution and minimal autofluorescence, it is also a favorable imaging method for tumor diagnosis. PbS@CdS quantum dots (QDs) are one of the popular NIR-II fluorescence nanoprobes for well brightness. In this study, NIR-II emissive PbS@CdS QDs were utilized and further encapsulated with thiol-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) (SH-PEG, MW = 5000) to form PbS@CdS@PEG QDs nanoparticles (NPs). The obtained PbS@CdS@PEG QDs NPs were then characterized and further studied in detail. The PbS@CdS@PEG QDs NPs had large absorption spectra, exhibited strong NIR-II fluorescence emission at approximately 1300nm, and possessed good NIR-II fluorescence properties. Then, the mice model of early-stage brain metastases of TNBC was established, and the PbS@CdS@PEG QDs NPs were injected into the tumor-bearing mice for NIR-II fluorescence microscopic bioimaging. The brain vessels and tumors of the living mice were detected with high spatial resolution under the NIR-II fluorescence microscopic imaging system with irradiation of 808nm laser. The tumor tissues were further restricted and prepared as thin slices. The NIR-II fluorescence signals were collected from the tumor slices with high spatial resolution and signal-to-background ratio (SBR). Thus, the PbS@CdS@PEG QDs NPs-assisted NIR-II fluorescence microscopic system can effectively achieve targeting brain metastases of TNBC imaging, offering a novel and promising approach for TNBC-specific diagnosis.

文摘Two novel lanthanide complexes,[Sm_(2)(BA)_(6)(4-OH-terpy)_(2)]·2H_(2)O·2EtOH(1)and[Pr_(2)(BA)_(6)(4-OH-terpy)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]·HBA·H_(2)O(2),where HBA=benzoic acid,4-OH-terpy=4-hydroxy-2,2'∶6',2″-terpyridine,were successfully synthesized using ultrasonic dissolution and the conventional solution method with two mixed ligands HBA and 4-OH-terpy.During the synthesis,4-OH-terpy was involved in the reaction as a neutral ligand,while HBA,in its deprotonated form(BA-),coordinated with the lanthanide ions as an acidic ligand.The crystal structures of these two complexes were precisely determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Elemental analysis,infrared and Raman spectroscopy,and powder X-ray diffraction techniques were also employed to further explore the physicochemical properties of the two complexes.The single-crystal X-ray diffraction data indicate that,despite their structural differences,both complexes belong to the triclinic crystal system P1 space group.The central lanthanide ions have the same coordination number but exhibit different coordination environments.To comprehensively evaluate the thermal stability of these two complexes,comprehensive tests including thermogravimetric analysis,differential thermogravimetric analysis,differential scanning calorimetry,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,and mass spectrometry were conducted.Meanwhile,an in-depth investigation was conducted into the 3D infrared stacked images and mass spectra of the gases emitted from the complexes.In addition,studies of the fluorescence properties of complex1 showed that it exhibited fluorescence emission matching the Sm^(3+)characteristic transition.
