Abstract:
... Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), as a type of tumor, have attracted wide attention because of their characteristics of shedding from the primary tumor and spreading to other tissues and organs through peripheral blood. The circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), the DNA released by CTCs and other tumor cells into the peripheral blood, was considered as a promising detection substance for clinical applicatio ...

Gold nanoparticles were self-assembled onto SnS nanorods surface to form SnS/AuNPs nanocomposites. The integration of AuNP can significantly improve the photocurrent response of SnS nanorods under being illuminated with 808 nm near-infrared light. A near-infr ...
... In this work, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor with dual signal enhancement was constructed and used for DNA adenine methylation methyltransferase (Dam MTase) detection. At present of Dam MTase, restriction endonuclease (DPnI) cleaves hairpin DNA (HP) and releases the HP stem end as a single strand that can activate CRISPR/Cas12a trans-cleavage activity. Assisted by trans-cleavage, the ...
... Protein transmission, permeate flux and energy consumption during MF of skim milk was evaluated at 7 °C using two discrete 800 kDa polymeric MF membranes. Filtration trials determined optimum process parameters (i.e., transmembrane pressure and volume concentration factor) and membrane configuration (in-series or in-parallel) to maximise serum protein permeation. This study demonstrated that a com ...

Abstract:
... Mushrooms are a good source of many nutrients which are potentially beneficial for chronic diseases. We speculated that due to its abundant nutrients edible mushrooms might have a beneficial effect on the prevention of subclinical thyroid dysfunction (SCTD). Therefore, we designed a large-scale cohort study to examine whether mushrooms consumption is a protective factor for SCTD in adults. This pr ...

Abstract:
... Recent studies have reported the occurrence of liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) in sediment, indoor dust, hand wipes, and human serum samples; however, information regarding their contamination status in soil is currently unavailable. The concentrations of 39 target LCMs were determined in n = 96 surface soil samples collected from five different urban functional zones including agricultural, scenic ...
... There is a growing interest in developing microfluidic biosensors for the accurate and reproducible analysis of various biomarkers obtained from liquid biopsy. This paper reports a novel microfluidic electrochemical aptasensor for determination of A549 cells as integrin α6β4-containing cell model and circulating tumor cell (CTC) model of NSCLC, based on target-induced structure switching mode. The ...

Abstract:
... Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are synthetic chemicals that are ubiquitous in environmental and biological systems, including human serum. PFASs are used in many products and industrial processes and are tied to numerous health effects. Due to multiple sources and exposure pathways, methods are needed to identify PFAS sources in communities to develop targeted interventions. We assess ...

... Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) is positively linked with multiple cancers in humans. However, the association between MC-LR and the risk and prognosis of prostate cancer has not been conducted in epidemiological studies. No reported studies have linked MC-LR exposure to the poor prognosis of prostate cancer by conducting experimental studies. The content of MC-LR was detected in most of the ...

Abstract:
... Many per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFASs) may disrupt maternal thyroid hormone homeostasis in pregnancy. Concerns should be raised regarding the PFASs exposure in pregnant women because thyroid hormones are involved in the early development of the fetus. In this study, we measured the concentrations of 13 PFASs, including five novel short-chain PFASs, in serum from 123 pregnant women in Beij ...
