Summary: In this study, we investigated the role of nanobubbles in the adsorption process of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) using a chitosan/granular activated carbon composite adsorbent. Our findings showed that nanobubbles can enhance the removal rate of PFAAs, and PFAAs with different chain lengths have different adsorption mechanisms. Longer chain PFAAs can be directly enriched on the composite adsorbents, while electrostatic interactions primarily affect the adsorption of shorter chain PFAAs.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption of oxytetracycline (OXY) from aqueous solution using landscape biomass waste-based activated carbon (LBWAC) in both batch and continuous modes. The results showed that the adsorbent had the highest uptake at a solution temperature of 60 degrees C and a solution pH of 12. The adsorption system followed the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. The continuous bed column study demonstrated that the breakthrough point, exhaustion time, and maximum adsorption uptake can be improved by adjusting the inlet conditions. This research suggests that LBWAC has great potential for large-scale OXY wastewater treatment.

Summary: Neutrophil elastase (NE) is an important serine protease that can serve as a biomarker for inflammatory-related diseases. Only a few red-emitting fluorescence probes with low enhancement have been reported for NE detection. In this study, a novel NE fluorescent probe BP-NE was developed using the red-emitting fluorophore BP, which exhibited high quantum yield. BP-NE showed improved detection of NE activity with low limit of detection, high signal-to-noise ratio, and high affinity compared to previous red-emitting NE fluorescent probes. It was also able to quantitatively analyze endogenous NE levels in different cell lines and zebrafish, making it promising for NE disease research in vitro and in vivo.

Summary: This study evaluated the adverse effects and toxic mechanisms of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on human ocular cells. The results showed that MWCNTs could enter the cells and cause cell damage, leading to decreased cell viabilities. RNA sequencing analysis identified key genes associated with MWCNT exposure, particularly inflammation-related genes. Validation experiments confirmed the upregulation of these genes and their regulation by long non-coding RNAs. These findings provide promising biomarkers for monitoring MWCNT-induced eye disorders and targets for developing preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Summary: An acid-sensitive carbon dot fluorescence sensing array was studied for differentiating distilled spirits. The electrostatic interactions between CDs and organic acids influenced the protonation and fluorescence properties of CDs, resulting in changes in triple fluorescence emission. The fluorescence sensor showed a regular linear variation under acidic conditions (3.0 < pH < 6.2). A comprehensive study was conducted on different acids (8 species), different concentrations (0.1 mM, 1 mM, 10 mM, 40 mM), mixed acids (formic acid and acetic acid), and the quantification capability for acetic acid (0.01-1 mM). The sensor array demonstrated excellent recognition ability for complex analytes. Using linear discriminant analysis (LDA), the fluorescence sensor array achieved 100% accuracy in identifying 16 types of Baijiu and 21 types of distilled liquors.

Summary: This study proposed a method of treating circulating fluidized bed (CFB) fly ash with bubble-mixed lightweight soil (BMLS). Artificial air bubbles in BMLS were used to control the expansibility of CFB fly ash mixed with cement. The impact of CFB fly ash on the pore structure of BMLS with CFB fly ash (BMLS-CF) was investigated. The sulfur compounds in CFB fly ash reacted with cement in BMLS-CF to form ettringite and gypsum, which adhered to pores of various sizes. The accommodation of expansive substances in BMLS-CF increased with the volume and number of bubbles, with the best effect observed at a CFB fly ash content of 50-66.7%.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
