Summary: Co1-xZnxFe2O4 nanoparticles (0 <= x <= 1) were synthesized via a green sol-gel combustion method, and their characteristics were studied using various techniques. The nanoparticles showed high crystallinity and exhibited a cubic Fd-3m structure. The presence of cobalt, zinc, iron, and oxygen in the samples was confirmed through EDS analysis. Raman spectra revealed the preferential location of Zn ions in T sites for low Zn concentrations. The magnetic properties of the nanoparticles were discussed based on the Raman results, showing an increase in magnetization with increasing Zn content for x < 0.5. Co ferrite doped with 30% Zn exhibited the highest SAR values, which increased linearly with H from 20 to 60 kA/m.

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.
