Summary: A simple pad-dry-cure modification process was proposed to prepare durable antibacterial cotton fabrics using carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and betaine (Bet) as natural antibacterial materials. The modified fabrics showed excellent antibacterial capability and durability, with bacterial reduction rates exceeding 99.99% against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) after 20 washing cycles. The modification process had minimal impact on the crystalline structure of the cotton fabric and even improved its water vapor permeability and water absorption capability.

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.
