Summary: In this study, bimetallic nanoparticles consisting of gold as the core and silver as the shell were synthesized and used as a nanoprobe for the detection of fluvoxamine. The physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were characterized using various techniques. The design of the smartphone-based colorimetric fluvoxamine sensor relied on the hydrolysis of fluvoxamine under alkaline conditions, resulting in color variations in the solution. A linear relationship between the absorption signal and the fluvoxamine concentration was observed, allowing for simple quantification.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
