Hydroquinone (HQ) is a phenolic compound used in industry processes. We aim to demonstrate a rapid and simple procedure for the determination of HQ. This work has developed two techniques, including colorimetric and electrochemical sensors on paper-based devices. Firstly, we have developed the colorimetric detection for the rapid screening test of HQ using 1.5% 4-(dimethylamino) benzaldehyde with alkaline condition (5 M NaOH). Under suitable conditions, the calibration curve between the intensity and HQ concentration was in the range of 50–500 mg L−1. Then, we developed a multi-walled carbon nanotube/graphene oxide/copper/palladium/platinum (MWCNT/GO/Cu/Pd/Pt) onto a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). The optimal amount of MWCNT/GO/Cu/Pd/Pt nanomaterial is 2 mg for HQ detection. The linear concentration range was found in the range 1 to 20 mg L−1 and a detection limit was found to be 0.40 mg L−1 (3.6 µM) for HQ. Moreover, the proposed device can be applied to determine HQ in real samples and is inexpensive technique, portable, and low consumer time.

This study investigates the impact of hydrophobic modification on the immunogenicity, cytotoxicity, and inflammatory response of Alaska pollock gelatin (ApGltn) microparticles (MPs). Gelatin, known for its inherent biocompatibility, was modified with decyl group (C10) to explore potential alterations in its interaction with the immune system. Immunogenicity was evaluated through the measurement of material-specific IgM and IgG responses, indicating no significant increase post-modification. Cytotoxicity against Caco-2 cell lines and NF-κB-mediated LPS-induced inflammation were also assessed, revealing no exacerbation by the modified MPs. Furthermore, C10 modification with different types of linkage such as secondary amine and amide structure did not influence immune reactivity. These findings suggest that C10 modification maintains the non-immunogenicity and biocompatibility of gelatin MPs, supporting their potential use in biomedical applications.

We report on a deep-red emissive fluorogenic peptide probe for human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) trans-activation responsive (TAR) RNA as an indicator for fluorescence indicator displacement (FID) assay. The probe design is based on the concept of the forced intercalation of thiazole orange (TO) dyes (FIT) on the peptide backbone, as recently proposed by our group, where the Q (glutamic acid) residue in the Tat peptide (RKKRR-Q-RRR) is replaced with TO as if it were an amino acid surrogate. Here, instead of green emissive TO, we utilized a deep-red emissive benzo[c,d]indole-quinoline (BIQ) cyanine dye developed previously by our group for imaging of nucleolar RNA in living cells. The developed 9-mer FIT peptide (RKKRR-BIQ-RRR; named BIQ-FiLuP) exhibits a significant off–on signaling ability for TAR RNA (λem = 660 nm, I/I0 = 130-fold, Φfree = 0.0009, Φbound = 0.052), and the dissociation constant Kd reaches ca. 1 nM. When used in FID assay, BIQ-FiLuP, like TO-based FiLuP, is able to distinguish between competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors, which has never been demonstrated with all previous indicators for TAR RNA. Deep-red emissive BIQ-FiLuP facilitates the evaluation of green to yellow emissive ligands without suffering from optical interference. The combination use with green emissive TO-based FiLuP (λem = 541 nm) would cover the examination of a wide range of fluorescent test compounds.

我们报告了一种用于人类免疫缺陷病毒-1（HIV-1）反式活化反应（TAR）RNA 的深红色发射性荧光肽探针，作为荧光指示剂位移（FID）检测的指示剂。探针的设计基于我们小组最近提出的在肽骨架上强制插层噻唑橙（TO）染料（FIT）的概念，其中 Tat 肽（RKKRR-Q-RRR）中的 Q（谷氨酸）残基被 TO 取代，就像氨基酸替代物一样。在这里，我们使用了一种深红色发光的苯并[c,d]吲哚喹啉（BIQ）青染料，而不是绿色发光的 TO，这种染料是我们小组以前开发的，用于活细胞核 RNA 的成像。所开发的 9-mer FIT 肽（RKKRR-BIQ-RRR；命名为 BIQ-FiLuP）对 TAR RNA 具有显著的离体信号转导能力（λem = 660 nm，I/I0 = 130-fold，Φfree = 0.0009，Φbound = 0.052），解离常数 Kd 达到约 1 nM。在 FID 检测中使用时，BIQ-FiLuP 与基于 TO 的 FiLuP 一样，能够区分竞争性和非竞争性抑制剂，这是以往所有 TAR RNA 检测指标从未证明过的。深红色发射型 BIQ-FiLuP 可在不受光学干扰的情况下评估绿色至黄色发射型配体。与基于 TO 的绿色发射型 FiLuP（λem = 541 nm）结合使用，可检测多种荧光测试化合物。

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a widely studied yeast known for its industrial applications, is increasingly recognized for its potential in immunomodulation. This study aimed to systematically analyze and compare the immune-modulating properties of various S. cerevisiae strains under controlled experimental conditions. Three essential signals crucial for immune response activation were evaluated to elucidate the immunological responses elicited by these strains, i.e., dendritic cells (DC) cytokine secretion profiles, maturation status, and T cell polarization. Analysis of DC cytokine secretion profiles and maturation status revealed that all tested yeast strains induced DC activation, characterized by significant IL-6 secretion and modest IL-10 induction, as well as upregulation of MHC II molecules. Additionally, strain-specific effects were observed, particularly, strain AJM109 and Y1383 uniquely enhanced CD86 and PD-L1 expression, respectively, suggesting differential impacts on DC co-stimulatory signaling. Furthermore, strain Y1383 showed a unique capacity to support Treg-mediated immune suppression, demonstrating its potential in immune tolerance induction. These findings underscore the complexity of S. cerevisiae-based immune modulation and emphasize the importance of standardized evaluation methods to distinguish their specific immunological effects.

酿酒酵母（Saccharomyces cerevisiae）是一种因其工业应用而被广泛研究的酵母，其免疫调节的潜力也日益得到认可。本研究旨在对照实验条件下系统分析和比较各种酿酒酵母菌株的免疫调节特性。研究评估了激活免疫反应的三个关键信号，以阐明这些菌株引起的免疫反应，即树突状细胞（DC）细胞因子分泌谱、成熟状态和 T 细胞极化。对DC细胞因子分泌谱和成熟状态的分析表明，所有测试的酵母菌株都能诱导DC活化，其特点是分泌大量IL-6和适度诱导IL-10，以及上调MHC II分子。此外，还观察到了菌株特异性效应，尤其是菌株 AJM109 和 Y1383 分别独特地增强了 CD86 和 PD-L1 的表达，这表明它们对 DC 协同刺激信号传导产生了不同的影响。此外，菌株 Y1383 显示出支持 Treg 介导的免疫抑制的独特能力，证明了其在免疫耐受诱导方面的潜力。这些发现凸显了基于麦角菌的免疫调节的复杂性，并强调了标准化评估方法对区分其特定免疫学效应的重要性。

We have developed a HPLC system where phase-separation multiphase flow works in the separation column as an eluent. We call the novel separation mechanism a phase-separation mode. The ternary mixed solution of water/acetonitrile/ethyl acetate, which is one of the two-phase-separation mixed solutions, caused the phase-separation multiphase flow via phase change from homogeneous to heterogeneous with the temperature effect (from 20 to 0 °C). In this study, we tried to perform phase-separation multiphase flow with the pressure effect instead of the temperature one. The fused-silica capillary tube (50 cm length and 50 µm inner diameter) was allied to the downstream of the column to apply the pressure of 5.5 MPa to the system. Model analytes of 2,6-naphthalenedisulfonic acid (2,6-NDS) and 1-naphthol (1-NA) were examined. For example, solutions (the volume% of water/acetonitrile/ethyl acetate; 20:55:25, organic-rich) and (60:30:10, water-rich) were used as eluent. The model analytes were not separated with both solutions at the pressure of 1.5 MPa and 20 °C. But with the organic-rich solution, 1-NA and 2,6-NDS were separated in this order and with the water-rich solution, they were separated in the reverse order at the pressure of 5.5 MPa and 20 °C. The phase-separation mode could be performed at the high pressure even at the room temperature.

New stability indicating related substances and assay methods for trametinib acetic acid by RP-HPLC have been developed and validated through forced degradation and mass balance studies for the first time. In related substances (RS) method, trametinib acetic acid was successfully separated from its six related substances namely, cyclopropanamide impurity, desiodo trametinib, desacetyl trametinib, trione acetamide intermediate, trione intermediate, and trione PTSA intermediate using YMC-Triart C18 (150 × 4.6 mm, 3 µm) column. Orthophosphoric acid (0.15%) in water was used as buffer. Gradient elution was programmed using mobile phase-A (buffer and acetonitrile mixture in 80:20 v/v ratio) and mobile phase-B (buffer and acetonitrile mixture in 20:80 v/v ratio). Acetonitrile and methanol mixture (1:1 v/v) was used as diluent. Flow rate, injection volume, column temperature, and wavelengths were kept as 0.8 mL/min, 10 µL, 55 °C, and 240 nm, respectively. Desacetyl trametinib and cyclopropanamide impurity were identified as potential degradation impurities in acid and base degradation conditions, respectively. Assay method specific to above six related substances was also developed. Assay of forced degradation samples was also determined, and the mass balance was established by adding total impurities formed in RS method to assay of trametinib acetic acid.

Iron (Fe) in seawater is an essential micronutrient for marine phytoplankton, and Fe deficiency limits their growth in high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll areas. The bioavailability of Fe for phytoplankton largely depends on its chemical speciation in seawater. In surface water, the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) is an important step in the uptake of Fe by phytoplankton. However, the marine biogeochemical cycle of Fe(II) in the open ocean has not been fully investigated. In oxic open-ocean waters, Fe(II) is rapidly oxidized and exists at sub-nanomolar levels, making it difficult to determine the Fe(II) concentration of seawater. In this study, we applied the flow analytical method of determining the Fe(II) concentration of seawater using luminol chemiluminescence in an in-situ analyzer (geochemical anomaly monitoring system, GAMOS). In the onboard laboratory, we successfully detected sub-nanomolar levels of Fe(II) in seawater using the GAMOS. In the central Indian Ocean, this analyzer was deployed at a depth of 1000 m to determine the Fe(II) concentration in the water column. During deployment, the detection limit (0.48 nM) was insufficient to determine the concentration. Therefore, we need to lower the blank values and enhance the stability of signal of the in-situ analytical method for application to open-ocean seawater samples.

Separation of differentiated and undifferentiated cells without labeling is required for cell analyses and clinical application of cultured differentiated cells in vitro. To proceed with the passive separation of differentiated cells inside a clean bench, we developed a system of deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) microfluidic devices and applied this system to sort differentiated cells in vitro. The fluid flow is driven by compressed air to the buffer. Priming and sorting can be completed by air pressure control. We use this system to separate C2C12 mononuclear myocytes from multinuclear myotubes. Additionally, using a DLD microfluidic channel of Dc = 20 μm, multinuclear myotubes can be effectively sorted as larger particles. We prepared differentiated adipocytes from mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells and sorted those containing lipid droplets. The diameters of these sorted adipocytes considered larger particles, exceeded 20 μm, similar to the Dc of the DLD microfluidic channel. Differentiated cell sorting by cell size will contribute to single-cell analyses and in vitro tissue model preparation for drug discovery.

要对体外培养的分化细胞进行细胞分析和临床应用，就必须在不标记的情况下分离分化细胞和未分化细胞。为了在无尘工作台内进行分化细胞的被动分离，我们开发了一套确定性横向位移（DLD）微流体设备系统，并将该系统用于体外分拣分化细胞。流体由压缩空气驱动流向缓冲液。通过气压控制可完成引流和分拣。我们使用该系统从多核肌管中分离出 C2C12 单核肌细胞。此外，使用 Dc = 20 μm 的 DLD 微流体通道，可以有效地将多核肌管分选为较大的颗粒。我们从小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞（MEF）中制备了分化脂肪细胞，并对含有脂滴的脂肪细胞进行了分拣。这些被分选的脂肪细胞被认为是较大的颗粒，其直径超过 20 μm，与 DLD 微流体通道的 Dc 相似。根据细胞大小进行细胞分拣将有助于单细胞分析和体外组织模型制备，从而促进药物发现。
